her footsteps severed my sweet day-dreaming moment , she was irritated ? weird ! I ve never seen her like this before , what the hell is going on with her? her glances were totally lost just as an astray dog ; she started scanning the house ; corner by corner ?? my bro ; next to me , squeezed my shirt , he knew also that some thing is wrong but really what is that ? what can break that cold donkey s back? finally she glanced at us ; and started moving oh my god she s coming our way !! ; it just took her 3 sec to be standing right in front of us and start moving her damn hand o my god what did I do to deserve this punch? , I pulled my bro to the back and got my defensive position and closed my eyes ; her hand fall at my shoulder lightly , what? wait a minute? what!!!!! I opened my eyes carefuly to find her standing on her knees which made our eyes in the same level , no no no wait ? this definitely cant be mama ! definitely can't be !
- dont be scared , Lin ? she said drawing a warm light smile in the face
my mind got blown away , it went blank , totally blank ! how can be the devil turn into an angle in one night? you believe in miracles ? well me not ! something surely going on !
- wha.....whats goin' on mommy ?, asked my brother behind me
she smiled even gentlier this time and answered :
- hey Ed , nothing sweetheart ; mama is just going in a trip for a few days , I want you to stay calm and obey your older sis okay ?
he nodded yes , she kissed his forehead and grabed his little hand, then she turned to me and said with her other hand still on my shoulder
- take care of your brother Lin , there is food enough for 4 days in the fridge so you dont need to go out ,
my tongue was trapped , speechless , I turned mute .....her smile vanished suddenly
- you can never go outside ok ! there are lots of monsters out there !! she added
I felt creep seeping all over my body , I got really scared back then , I mean how wouldnt I be when I was just 5 ??I forgot to mention that I ve never gone out even once and neither did Ed ,she had banned us from that and it became a red line we dont cross ; for us, the other's presence was our entire world so we never needed either??
"for a kid , a mother s words were an absolute fact !!!"
