A blissful curse

Chapter 5

Sooner than later, my mother caught up with the truth about my feeing for Adrian. It only made sense for her to catch on, besides she had been a girl before. Regarding the kind of feelings I had towards him, I could tell that my mothers were the exact opposite, feasibly more and that's why I suddenly interrupted her long face deep in thought.

"Mom, do you also think people are as bad and evil as father paints them out to be. And if they are, why are we part of them and is there any real, sensible difference between us from them?

Instead of answering me, she held my hand and gave me the stare she'd give back in my three years of age, the kind that is both anxious and stunned. She later then replied, "Kiscendra, there is a painful history behind why your father thinks like that of people. I'm sure he just doesn't want to see you hurt. And besides you're too young to understand anything and the less you know the better."

I could tell my mother knew something but she was just as absent as my father was. My mind was reminiscing through a lot of things so much that the only last word I managed to gasp from my mother's long preaching was 'painful'. Yes, I know pain...it has seen to be making itself my friend lately.

"But mom, I'm sixteen. Don't you think its high time I knew where I belong, where I come from and who I truly am? Do you know who you are? Where you come from?"

"yes, my baby...but its not as easy as..."

"Enough mother!" I dismissed her from uttering yet another bunch of useless words.

"why can't you allow me the same honour?" I continued and she turned away from me.

"I've never heard you speak to me like that ever." She said.

As I walked towards the door, exiting her room. I uttered, "well maybe you need to do something about it. Ground me for instance? yes, hide me from the face of earth like you always do? Well, I wouldn't be surprised, it's all you seem to do at best after all." I left.
