She stood staring at the woman.
Oh no, this can't be..she had the same eyes as me..
"Y-yes, I am..who are you?", but she can't help her self from getting nervous She felt cold all over her.
She saw the woman in tears then hugged her tight.She's certain now.She's Margaret.Her mother.She don't hug back.She don't know but she feels nothing.No missing.No crying.Maybe there's something wrong with her.She had never cried for a long time.Since her grandma died.Her grandma is her everything.
The woman pull from the hug.
"I'm your mama", she had said between her sob.
She just look at her.
"Y-yeah I know now.Margaret, right?", she said.
Margaret look at her confused.Can't believe she had called her by her name instead of mama.It pained her more that she's a stranger to her own daughter.
"I've been here last year hoping to see you", she's still in tears watching her daughter who don't even miss her or long for her.But she can't blame her.
"I've been busy with my work.I got two jobs by that time.But when I got sick I left the other one".
Margaret can't take her eyes on Cattleya.She is really beautiful.So lovely.How she love to hug her forever.
After a minutes of silence.
"I'm heading now to Olivia", Cattleya spoke.She felt awkward of how Margaret looked at her.
"I'm staying there too.Lucy was already there.And she asked me to stay this weekend.".Lucy is Olivia's daughter.Lucy offered Margaret to stay when she found out from her mom Olivia that Cattleya is staying too.Cattleya just nodded.And both walking back to Olivia's.
"What's your job?and where?"
"At Helena's coffee shop.", she don't look at her.
"C-can I come with you?at your place I mean".
"I'm staying with my co-worker next week", she said.
"How long will you be here?"
"Maybe two days.I have some things to pack in my old apartment".
"Then I'm coming with you", Margaret said with excitement on her face.
"How about your family?do they know you're here?", its hard for her to talked about her mothers family.She felt being abandoned again.
"Y-yeah of course.Actually they're here with me.You have two siblings."
She don't feel any excitement at all.But she don't hated them.Suddenly she wants to go back to the city.She can't stand having Margaret around.Yes, she's afraid to get used of her.Everything will only be temporary.She'll leave eventually.She knows no one stays forever.Friends and loved-ones.If they don't die, they'll leave.No one will completely stay.
They reach into Olivia's house.
"Hey Cattleya, you're so beautiful lady now", it was Lucy.She hug Cattleya.Cattleya returned a hug that made Margaret jealous.
"C-can I take a bath?", she said.She just want to be alone this time."
"Your things were on the same room you and Rosa occupied before", Olivia said.She excused her self.
