Healing Wounds (Work In Progress)

The Mother and Daughter

There's a knock at the door of Chaz's home. Beatrix walks to the door and sees two people at the door. She greets them.

"Ah! Neci! You're here! Is this your mother that Mikey spoke of?"

The one called Neci, who is dressed with a casual clothes like a blouse and black pants with laceless sneakers. She speaks with her arms crossed.

"Yes, Ma'am. This is my mother, Ladpire Von Yukio."

Ladpire, who has a stern but annoyed look on her face, wears black slacks and shoes, and white button down shirt. Beatrix greets her.

"Welcome Ms. Yukio. My husband may see you. He's in his office. Over there."

She points to a door. Neci lightly nods to her as a thank you and heads towards the door with Ladpire. As Neci knocks, Ladpire looks around at the room with her arms crossed. It is a somewhat plain and contemporary room.

"Seems kinda boring, doesn't it?"

Neci looks at her befuddled.

"What right do I have to say about this room, Mom? Also, what right do you have?"

Ladpire looks to Neci.

"Why am I here? I don't have a problem."

"By order of my father, Mom. She wants us to see a doctor and sort our differences out! Which I think is a waste of time. I'm sure you won't learn shit."

Neci lightly knocks again as Ladpire speaks.

"Are you saying I'm too stupid to learn anything? Are you insulting me? Your Mother?"

Neci gives a deep sign.

"No! I'm just saying-"

"What was you saying? That I'm an idiot?"

Neci quickly turns to her and points at her.

"You know I didn't say that! You're just trying to argue with me! Just like you always do! You wonder why Tom left us?"

"Ha! He couldn't handle me!"

"Bitch, I have hard enough time DEALING with you!"

Suddenly, the door opens and Chaz comes through.

"Excuse me, ladies. First of all, please. Keep it down. You maybe my only patients right now. At least be considerate for my wife. Also, why are you two arguing?"

Neci speaks.

"She always does this, Doc! She starts arguing-"

Chaz lightly holds his palm up.

"Hold on. How about we discuss this in my office?"

Chaz offers them to enter his office and they both enter as he closes the door behind them. He moves over to his chair behind his desk.

"Would either of like to sit on the sofa?"

Neci accepts his offer and sits on the sofa. Then looks at Ladpire, who is just standing with her arms crossed, looking annoyed.

"Well, aren't you gonna take him up on his offer?"

"Why should I? I don't have to do what he says."

Neci growls then quickly looks toward Chaz.

"I'm sorry for her rudeness, Doc."

Chaz with hands clasped and resting on desk slightly smiles.

"It's fine, Ms.... Mose, is it?"
