The Soul's Liberation [Mr. Hot Billionaire](Completed)

Chapter 40

One week later

"Go on. I know you need her," Safari pat my shoulder and she looks at me with this encouraging look in her eyes and a small smile.

Sandali akong tumingin mula sa bintana ng kotse ni Safari. She took me back in New York a week ago and I'm very thankful to her for doing that. I feel like I'd feel suffocated if I stayed longer in Philippines.

I wanted a fresh start but all I got is a heartbreak, that's sad.

I looked at the house I always avoided to visit. I only came here once and I never did it again.

After the death of father and all the stuffs that happened in the court, all the talks, all the shit, she won the case. All her apologies to me, I said I forgive her. But I never want to stay with her after I got out of the mental rehab and physical rehab I needed to attend to. Last time I met her was when I got out and I went to this new place she's been talking about on her phone when I was still in rehab. It's a good place. My mother is a very talented Architect before she met his ex-husband, now she's put it to use again and she's been very successful. She got her own house. It's a two story house located here in upstate new York. The house is painted red, and the roof is green, the pillars on her porch are painted black. The cement around the window is painted violet. The house looks ridiculous but I remember those color combination clearly. It's the colors I wanted for our own house when I was a teenager with a hope that we could run away from the man she married.

Ngumiti ako kay Safari at yinakap siya bago lumabas ng kotse at pumasok na sa gate ng bahay niya. Kagat labi akong naglalakad patungong main door and pushed the door bell.

"Wait!" rinig kong sigaw ng babae mula sa loob ng bahay.

Her voice sounded comforting as ever because even if I admitted it or not, she's the one always there for me aside from Safari. She got my back, did a lot of things for me even though I never saw her do it, I know she did. There's a lot of damage done by the man she married on both of us and I was nothing but a piece of shit back then, hating on her like it's all her fault. It's because she's the one I can reach and blame but now I got better. I just got ashamed to show my face to her. it's just awkward and full of memories. Not that I cannot handle the memories, I just feel so little looking at her.

After a minute, the white door swung open. And my mother welcomed me, her hair that's a mixture of white and black hair, white dress, wrinkles on her face but beautiful as always, widen eyes and parted lips as she looks at me.

"Mom," I called out her name and just like the mother that she is, she detected that something's wrong and instead of asking me why I suddenly show my face to her, her eyes soften, cupped my cheeks and rub her thumb on my nose. "You silly little girl," she says gently and pulled me for a hug.

That's when I cried.

"What happened honey?" Bakas ang pag-aalala sa boses niya.

Just the thought of him makes me cry more.

She invited me inside and we sat on her pink couch and I cried.

After minutes of crying, I calm down. I rest my head on her shoulder while my arms wrapped around her waist.

"What happened?" she asks.

Kwinento ko sa kanya lahat. From the start, even the illegal things, the death, the suicide, Sutton, Rein, Jax, Sun, Magnus, the accident, everything. And she just looked at me and smiled. No judgment, no anger, just pure kindness and understanding.

"This Magnus guy, seems to be confuse, suicide is not easy honey, you know that," aniya.

"I know. I totally understand how it's painful."
