Mystique Well-Their Arrival

Chapter 50: He Felt Betrayed

After my mom was shifted to the isolation room I called Mayson but he didn't pick up. I was about to call him again but then his caller ID popped up with my cell phone's usual ringtone. I picked up the call and asked, "Hey! Are you busy right now?"

"No no, actually I fell asleep so I couldn't receive your call." He said in a raspy voice.

"I wanted to let you know that Mom has had the surgery." I said.

"What?! When? How? You said that it will take place next week." He screamed in shock.

"Today itself. I lied so that you wouldn't get bother. Woah! Why the hell are you shouting?" I said.

"How is she now?" He asked.

"The doctor said that she will have to stay in the hospital for few more days but she will gradually recover." I said.

"It's a relief, but I'm angry at you for not telling me anything about this. Am I not like your little brother? Why is everyone hiding the truth from me? Just why? Don't I deserve to know anything? Am I that bad?" He said and I was shocked to hear his nonsense.

"Eh! Mayson!" I said.

"Why do you hate me? Why everyone hates me? No one is telling me anything. Everyone is hiding their secrets. Just why?" He said and I asked, "oye! Did you hit your head somewhere?"

"No I lost all my brain cells and now I'm coming to you." He said and hung up.

Now what happened to this brat? Why is he overacting so much? I thought and then went to the isolation room where my mother was lying unconscious on the hospital bed. I carefully placed my palm over her hand and said, "I know death is certain but I am not ready to lose you yet. Mama, you are a fighter and I believe you will win this battle. I love you mama. Please don't leave me."

An hour ago...

(Mayson's POV)

"Do you have anything else to say or did you just come here to make me forget all the memories of that day?" I asked her but she didn't say anything.

She tried to make me forget everything but she couldn't because I wasn't looking at her eyes but at her lips, not because I am a pervert but to save myself from falling into her trap. I am not a fool. I have read in books and seen in movies how vampires trap others by hypnosis, so as soon as she asked me to look into her eyes, I became cautious.

I was waiting for her reply but she was too shocked to say anything. I sighed and said "good bye" and ran inside my house.

I fell on the bed numb. One thing was confirmed that there must be something that she wanted to hide from me, otherwise why would she try to make me forget everything. I was not scared now because I was feeling hurt. I felt hurt and betrayed. I felt that I was just a useful thing for her who was no longer of any use to her. What would she have lost if she had tried to explain everything to me? I am just an ordinary human being, I would not have done anything to a vampire! It was weird that I was standing in front of her and she did not even think of killing me even once, she just wanted to make me forget everything. Was your only motive to play football with my heart and throw it away? Am I thinking weird things? Why am I even thinking? I thought and buried my head in the pillow.

I was in slumber when I got a call from... God knows who. My cell phone kept ringing but I didn't pick it up. Although I didn't want to talk to anyone I checked the caller ID and hastily got up. "Shit it was Kyle." I whispered and dialed his number and as soon as he picked up he asked, "Hey! Are you busy right now?"

When I said no, I had just fallen asleep, he said he had called to tell me that his mother had undergone surgery.

I was shocked to hear that so I asked... kind of screamed, "What?! When? How? You said that it will take place next week."

"Today itself. I lied so that you wouldn't get bother. Woah! Why the hell are you shouting?" He said and hearing this I felt more betrayed. I felt like nobody wants to share anything with me. I'm just nothing to anyone.

After I asked about his mother's health, I complained to him how bad I was feeling because he didn't tell me about aunt's surgery, but he mocked me asking if I hit my head somewhere.

I said angrily that I have lost all my brain cells and now I will go to the hospital to visit his mother.

After I hung up, I felt like I was drunk, but I wasn't, then why am I behaving terribly weird. Why is my mood changing so much? Argghhhhh!
———————————————————
As soon as I reached the hospital, I enquired about Kyle's mother at the reception and went towards the isolation room where I saw his father sitting outside the room.

"Mayson!" He said getting a little surprised.

"Hello uncle" I said and bowed a little.

"So Kyle called you here, right?" He asked and I thought no he didn't. This is what I am sad about.

"Actually, he had told me that Aunty's bone marrow transplant was going to take place in a few days but he forgot to tell me on which day and today coincidentally when I spoke to him on the phone, I came to know that Aunty's surgery had already taken place and that is why I came here. If I had known about this, I would have come even before the surgery." I said.

"It's alright, I'm glad you came here. By the way, Kyle is inside right now, till then you can wait here." He said and smiled.

There was an awkward silence in the air and I felt as if I had dropped in here like an uninvited guest. Whenever my eyes met uncle's, we would just smile a little and then look away. This continued for about twenty minutes. It is not like if I ask him anything, he will kick me out of here, but I didn't know  what I should talk to him about.

"Ahem... well, how's your work going?" He asked all of a sudden and I was like "huh?"

"How's your work going? I mean songs... shooting and all?" He asked again and I said, "o... yeah... it's going good. Everything is going okay."

"Umm... uncle, if you don't mind can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Sure." He said.

"If Kyle ever fell in love with a vampire in the future, would you accept it?" I asked

"What?!" He said getting shocked as hell.

"No no... nothing I-I was just joking. Hehehe." I said and laughed like an idiot.

He laughed too and said, "this proves that you literally are my son's friend." and I couldn't understand that he mocked me or Kyle. Whatever let's laugh. I thought and started laughing along with him and meanwhile Kyle came out of the isolation room.
