Dumped by the Real World

Chapter 7: Mistake?

"I am not your mother!"

Wait, what?

Is this some kind of a joke.

ANG SAKIT!

--------------------------

I thought I can still share my dreams unto her.

I thought I can be with her forever.

I thought I can walk with her towards the future.

But after what she said.

The truth that she's not my mother.

I tried to stop my tears from falling.

I tried to compose myself.

I tried to breathe properly.

But unfortunately, I failed.

"Ha? Tama ba narinig ko?"

"Is this some kind of joke? Mama, parehas kayo ni Dad ha? Mahilig magjoke!" I said with a fake smile.

Bakit ako kinakabahan sa isasagot niya?

"Althea." Cassandra tried to calm me down, pero I was hearing nothing. Lahat sinet aside ko. I am just waiting for her to answer my question.

"Yes Althea, I am not your mother."

"But, para saan yung treatment mo kanina?" I manage to speak vividly, kahit sobrang nanghihina and kahit gaano pa kalakas ang pagiyak ko.

"Is that a form of sympathy? Naaawa kalang ba sakin? Why didn't you say it at first. Sana hindi ako umasa ng ganito. Sana hindi ako nasaktan ng ganito kagrabe." I am screaming at the top of my lungs. Sobra akong nadala ng emosyon ko.

"Salamat sa panandaliang kasiyahan na dinulot mo ha? Salamat." I said with full of strength. I stop giving hints of weakness.

Pero hindi na naman ako pinagbigyan ng katawan ko.

I fell on my knees, again.

I cried as hard as I can.

I'll let it all out this time and shut off the pain.

I can feel that she's walking towards me.

"It's okay. I can be your mother."

"Jusy rest okay?" She said while brushing her hands through my hair.

Ang dami kong pinagdaanan this day, I guess I can take her offer.

Before I knew it, nakatulog na pala ako.
