I bowed and closed my eyes.His voice was gentle and I knew where Steven's hair came from because of his curly hair."Hija, you're pale," he said worriedly. "Are you afraid of me?"I opened my eyes and was surprised by what his mother said.Steven looked at me worriedly."Tori..."I swallowed and looked up."P-Po?"I jumped in shock when he suddenly grabbed my hand. I saw the parting of his lips and looked at me sadly."Your hand is cold, hija. I won't bite you. I am happy because I finally met the woman who makes my son smile again."Suddenly the nervousness in my chest subsided. He just smiled at me and called his wife who was about to go up to the second floor.When it turned around I knew it well. He is Governor Oxford, Steven's father and one of the successful businessmen in the country."Hon, look!" Mrs. took Zellor is Oxford and approaches his wife. "They're here and our grandson!"I lost my attention on them when Steven grabbed my chin and lifted me towards him. I could see th

It's been a few days since I texted Megan. To be honest, I'm nervous because he might tweak me again. So I practiced whatever I was going to say. Steven always visits me but he is also always busy because he has something to do before he leaves his job. And today is Megan's meeting. Steven didn't know because I just said I was going to buy something."Don't call me! Leche!"I turned to Minda in shock when I heard her annoyed voice. He was at the door with his phone to his ear. He immediately hung up the phone when he saw me."Are you leaving?" he asked and sat down on the sofa. "Is Zellor still asleep?"I nodded and adjusted my clothes. I'm wearing leggings and a big T-shirt. My hair is tied so that somehow, it's still safe when it's going to be tweaked."Alright, don't squeeze in a lot of people, ah! You're still pregnant!""Yes, dear queen!" I teased and put on the shoes.I just rode a tricycle to the public restaurant here in the city of Badian. I'm not rich and I don't have money

They say, nothing can compare to a mother's love. Even though I have never experienced that kind of love, I agree with what they said.Me myself, I love my son very much and I can sacrifice everything for him. I don't want my child to experience what I experienced with my Mom.There is still sadness in my heart but my love for him is still more dominant. Maybe because she is my Mama and no matter how bad she is, it still cannot be denied that I come from her.I watched Mama with a smile while eating a burger in the hospital canteen. Steven and I accompanied him and fed him the foods he liked.I sat next to him while putting down the food we bought one by one while Steven just remained standing, watching us."It's delicious!" he commented while eating.He raised his hand and gave a thumbs up. I'm new to him, maybe because he can't remember. I was smiling like a fool while watching my mom. He looks like a child who doesn't know anything about the world. I'm so happy that I was able to h

A few years later, Steven and I got married and lived happily in each other's company but fate was really funny. To this day, it is still not clear to me why we ended up in a situation that will destroy the family we built before."Qotorie, hija, are you done?"I jolted from that loud scream, making the lipstick I was applying smudged down my chin. I rested on my forehead and took a deep breath while observing the scattered red line there."Qotorie? Are you done yet? Your wife is very bored downstairs waiting for you!"Shaking and laughing, I reached for the wet wipes when I heard what our rushing maid said. I looked at the vanity mirror and wiped my chin clean. With that, I looked at thethe door opened, revealing our old maid, Manang Setta."Come on down, Manang. Is it Zellor? Is he awake yet?" I asked, tilting my head sideways to show that I am listening."Wake up earlier, hija. Also eating together with his grandparents. I'm crying and I've been looking for you for a while. You kn

I smiled and nodded gently.Why does he know so much?"This picture was taken when I said yes to your Daddy when he asked me to marry him," I said with a smile."Wow! Daddy looks so in love with you, Mommy! His eyes are in heart shapes! And you both look beautiful and handsome in your wedding picture," he commented, very happy for us while pointing to that picture of us when we got married.Yes, he was very much in love with me.But not anymore, baby.A month passed when Steven asked me for a divorce. It was too all of a sudden that it shook my world apart. Very painful. We were so in love and then suddenly, he is asking me to end everything we have."Is this me, Mommy? I am so cute when I was a baby," Zellor said again bringing me back to myself."You are, Zellor" I confirmed what he said. "And you still are.""I was the happiest that time, Zellor. You were the greatest gift I have ever received," I told him and smiled."Awww. I love you, Mommy," he said and looked up at me smiling,
