I look at her back. She is washing the dishes that were left by lunch. Silently I stand beside her and help her to wipe the plates. She's surprised, looking at me weirdly so I just smile.
"Mom.." I call her.
"Y-yes??" She stutters a bit,shocked with my act right now.
"Can we talk for a moment?"
"She takes out her apron and walk to the living room with me.
"Mom, are you happy right now?" I ask her, the same question Jonathan asked me. She keeps silent for a sec.
"No, my dear.." she answers.
"Why? Don't you have Dad and Joshua?"
"Yes, I have my husband and son but I don't have my daughter..." she sighs. "I really wanna know you but I never had the chance. Cause you don't like me, right?"
I frost for a second. No, she's wrong. " No..instead can I give you the chance? Will you take it sincerely?" I answer bravely. Her face starts to shine bright.
"Really??" I nod. "Yes, I would. I will take care of you with all my heart. And we all will be a happy family. Can I hug you my dear?" I nod again with smile. We hug tightly like we've been apart for years. I feel sooo happy. Joe's word is right. I had found some happiness with Stacy- no, she's my mom right now.
"Know what? I don't hate you so much actually. I just lack of family love that I wish along this time. I'm so afraid that I will be abandoned for all my life. That's why I never get to know you and Joshua."
" It's alright. I'm too sorry if I couldn't be a good mom to you. I.."
"No." I stop her words."You are good enough. I'm the one who's bad."
She strokes my shoulder. " So , what makes you so brave, dear?"
"Him." I smile meaningfully.
"Jonathan?"
"Yup."
" I guess, you fell for him?" She asks, straight to the point. I keep quiet, wordless. Suddenly Joshua appears.I quickly raise him up to my thigh, trying to save myself. Mom laughs.
"It's okay, no need to tell me. I knew it." my cheeks turn to red, I'm lowering my head.
"Hurmm..shall we go out for a dinner tonight?"
"Dinner?"
