Chapter Five~'He found me'

Chapter Five
~

'Mom can I ask questions?' I ask sincerely,  and of course she wouldn't answer me if all that I just ask is 'Where is my real father and mother?' or things about my real parents. If she kept secrets from me, there would have been a valid reason right?

'Go on' Mom said, as I get back in petting Rosy with my right hand, Rosy sat quietly.

'How did you named me?' I ask simply glancing at the windows, I feel cold.

'The time your real parents left you, you were holding a piece of paper, inside it was a letter, your real name was written there, but they never mentioned your name' I close my eyes and sigh.

'Where is the letter?' I ask dryly, hoping she would say 'wait, I'll get it'

'I can't tell where it is, I'm going to give you it when the time comes, I promise' She says simply, a part of me being tear apart.

'Do you get bored with just the two of us?'

Mom sighed, her eyes forming as she looks at me.

'We have Rosy' Mom says nonchalantly, I chuckle lightly.

'I mean, do you ever want to meet my father? I never saw him and you always ke-' I stop as mom interrupts me.

'Levan, our life is complete right now, I don't need your father, I don't need anyone in my life except you, and I always keep secrets from you because I have to and it keeps you safe from you identity'

'What do you mean to keep me safe? If I ever meet my father, why would I be in trouble?' I ask sighing as Rosy meows and her soft whiskers move clearly.

'If you ever knew who you really are, you would regret it, I promise' Mom says, I roll my eyes.

'Your life is complete right now, but for me, my father and mother is the last missing piece, I need to be happy and as I can see right now, you are really happy, but me? I feel sad yet empty, I'm not content yet' I explain, the rain pours lightly as few hours ago, it was already 10 PM, two hours till midnight and I'm still wide awake, here in the couch, sitting and talking to my mom.

Mom just glare at me, her mouth zipping and I can sense she's angry, well I don't at all this time, I want to know the answer, It's already been like 9 years since I grew up with out a loving father. Did I ever want to find my real mother? Yes I want to find her also. But I'm afraid.

'Do you want to know who is your real father?' Mom asks, I feel that she's going to answer me. I hope.

' Yes, I can;t wait any more, you kept saying lies when I was a kid and I believed it, almost. But now, I learned. I learned how to believe by seeing it, not by hearing it' I say, my mouth closes at the time the last word was pronounced with a rising stress.

'Levan, you don't deserve to be with your father' she says.

'All people deserves to know who their real parents are, so you think I don't deserve to be with my real father? I ask, wanting my mom to tell me that my father is still alive, that my father will come for me.

'What you didn't know, I adopted you in the orphanage and your real father and mother was there. If you ever find your real parents, I know, you'll leave me soon' She says, fading the last words she say, I stay silent. Because it's true, there's a time I would have to leave her and be with my real parents, but I know I can't leave my mom, she became a part of my life.

She stands up, going up stairs as I stay silent, thinking, freezing my thought for a moment.

I sigh. Standing up and heading to my room, shutting the door close. It was raining stil, I hid in my covers and I sleep in my bed, as the droplets of rain I hear in my ears, I rub my weary eyes shut close as I breathe with serenity, peace fullness.
