WHY NOT FRIENDS

Chapter : 3 Candour

I drove back home with a heavy heart. Never knew such a thing can cause me so much pain — not physically but emotionally.
.
.
.
I was cantankerous therefore my mom walked to my room to find what's going on. At first she was bemused but then she asked for an explanation. I felt free to tell her about my breakup.
“Mom , I broke up with Rebecca .” I exclaimed.
For a matter of seconds my mom was silent but she said,“ You are crying on such a gormless thing. ”
“Mom, you don't understand my feelings . ” I said in an irritated way.
“ Oh boy! I do know about your feelings , you are just same as your dad.”
Once she gets started she never stops . Why does she have to give a damn prolix speech?
She said as she was lost in her past ,“ I and your dad were studying  in high school when he had a crush on me. When we were dating I went to Boston due to an emergency but he thought I left him , he started crying the same you were crying right now . When I was back everything was settled. ”  She paused and then said“ Just give some time to yourself and the situation, it heals . First love is not everything . If you start crying , how are you gonna survive , life is all about vicissitudes, learn to accept and cross them. ”
She was right even though she made me bored.
I asked her in a childish way,“How did you happen to know that dad was crying when you left?”
She said,“ I got to know from your grandmother. ”

I opened up my heart and said everything about Rebecca , how I feel for her? How angry I m ?
She listened to me attentively.

“Aiden its 1 hour we are on this, I think we should sleep.”
“ Mom ” I called her when she was about to leave my bedroom.
“Yes”she answered.
“ I would like to take a leave tomorrow from school.” I said.
“ Okay! If nothing, I can do this much for you by allowing you for this.” she said
I was a bit only a bit happy.
She said,“ I would love that my son inherits all the qualities of my husband , but not the quality of being possessive .”
I smiled and she too smiled and bid me goodnight.

You know why I m so candour to my mom because I love her......... Obviously everyone loves their mom but years back my mom was suffering from cancer . Fortunately she was cured in the first stage itself. During this time I came really  close to my mom.

From then onwards I love to sit with my mom and talk about some random stuff.
.
.
.
I quickly changed  into my night wear , pulled the covers and went to sleep.
I know I won't be able to sleep well . But I tried to do so .....

Holy shit! I can't get Rebecca out of my mind.

Though I shared the deepest thoughts of my heart to my mom in order to calm myself but still I wasn't calm.
I had questions .
I want to believed her but I was helpless.

At last I decided to move on.........
