Chapter 42: Their Anger

TODAY, I woke up with a light heart. I can't explain the joy I feel while looking out the window of my room. The sun looked unusually shiny and felt warm as its rays touched my skin. The breeze was also delightful. It wasn't that cold, but it was enough to relieve the heat I felt.

It feels like this day will be a good one, or maybe I'm finally seeing the good in everything because I'm in a good mood today?

I just smiled before folding my bed and leaving the room. Fortunately, I'm scheduled for a 10 a. m. seminar that I'll be supervising today, so I didn't need to wake up early to get ready. It was only six o'clock in the morning, and I had a great sleep, indeed.

"Good morning," I cheerfully greeted my mom, who was in the kitchen, before kissing her on the cheek. "You're up early."

"I have work, dear. Your Aunt Loren needed a babysitter, so I took the job." She smiled at me before continuing with her cooking.

It was just dried fish, but whenever I'm with my mom, even in this state of life, I still feel so lucky because I have another reason to live.

One day, I'll be able to give my mom everything she wants. I'll make her stop working and just travel with me wherever we want without worrying about how we'll pay for it.

The side of my lips rose because of that thought. It makes me calm somehow despite how messed up the world is.

"Take a break sometimes," I reminded her while preparing the plates and glasses we'd use. "You don't need to work so hard anymore. I can take a full-time job. I'm almost in my fourth year. My subjects will also be reduced."

"I want you to just focus on your studies." She came over and sat in front of me, bringing a plate with four pieces of dried fish. "Don't worry about me. I can handle this. I'll do everything for you."

That's the purest thing I ever heard from her.

This is truly my mom's nature. Kind, caring, and nurturing. Even to undeserving people like my dad, she still shows love.

Honestly, I'm glad my dad hasn't come home for weeks. I'd rather he doesn't come home than have him here, where I'd have to hold back my anger. If he's not here, at least I wouldn't have to restrain myself from punching him. Maybe that's the reason he couldn't love me. It's because I'm not his real daughter. No wonder I don't feel any blood connection to him.
