Mother At 18 (Gruvia)

Chapter 36

Juvia's POV...

I'm currently brushing my hair in front of the mirror when I received a call from my mom. I frowned. This is very unusual. I answered the call.

"Hello mom?"

[Hello dear. Can we please meet today?]

"Uh...okay when and where?"

[This morning if possible in M**** café]

"Oh...okay. I'll be there."

Then I ended the call. Why does she want to talk with me now? The last time I talked to her was when I was asking her to answer my question that has been bugging me. I sighed. I then decided to contact Gray to inform him about it but he was not answering my calls. I sighed. He's been like this to me lately. He's not even coming home sometimes. I'm starting to get worried about him.

I went inside the café and I immidiately saw my mom, drinking her cup of coffee. I then went to her.

"Hello, dear. Thank goodness you're free today. I have something to tell you." Mom said.

"Wait. Let me sit down first. Is this that important for you to make me come here so sudden?" I asked.

I sat down and waited for her answer.

"Yes, this is really important." She said.

"Okay." I said.

What is she going to inform me?

"Remember when you asked me to answer your question about...what was my connection with the Fullbuster's?" She started.

I looked at her, puzzled. Why is she suddenly opening that topic?

"Of course I still remember, what about it?" I asked.

She suddenly held my hands on top of the table, wearing that apologetic smile.

"I hope you forgive me..." She said.

"What is it mom? You're making me nervous." I said.

"My...my c-connection with the Fullbuster's was..." She paused.

"Was...?" I asked.

She sighed then held my hand tighter.

"We were friends before. Me, Mika and Silver....

Julia's Flasback...

We were bestfriends since highschool. My childhood friend was Mika then in Highschool, Silver came. Ever since, Mika was telling me how she admired him. I don't have any feelings for him before so it was just okay for me if she would talk about him all the time. Silver doesn't know that Mika likes him a lot. Until one day, Silver confessed to me that he loves me. I didn't know what to do that time so I just ran away. Everyday, Silver keeps on giving me flowers, and love letters but I always reject him because Mika likes him. Mika was too kind she never said a word against me. It was when I saw her crying, because of me, I decided to leave them both. I avoided them as much as I could until one day, I just found out that they're already dating. I was happy for them but...I didn't noticed I have fallen in love with Silver. I avoided them both because I thought that was the right thing to do until years passed. I didn't heard anything about them anymore but I know in my heart that I still love him. I had a suitor, and it was your father, Raven. He was patient enough to wait for me. I thought I have gotten over my feelings for Silver so I married Raven when he asked my hand for marriage. I was happy with my married life until one day, someone knocked on my door and to my surprise it was Silver. We talked about why I left them suddenly. I told him the real reason why I left them that made him burn in rage.
