ASHANTI'S POV.
"It's a long story." She breathes heavily and a strange thought crosses my mind.
"Are you my mother?" I blurt out without thinking. She pauses on her words and stares atin shock. My eyes never leave her face as I wait for her to answer the question. "How... how did you..." "You're my mother?" I ask, shocked and tears well up in my eyes when she nods her head.
"Yes. I am." My heart drops into my abdomen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI simply can't believe it.
My mother. My mother whom I've been wanting to meet for the longest tnow. She's sitting right beforeand I have no idea what to do.
"Mum." I call in a broken voice. "Mum." I call yet again and wrap my arms around her, engulfing her in a hug that triggers my tears to spill down my cheeks.
That smell! I can never miss it. I was barely four years old when she left. That's why I couldn't recognize her face, but her smell. It never changes.
"Mum, I'm so happy to see you." I break the hug and look at her face expecting to see her smiling or crying out of excitement to seeas well, but she's not. Her expression is completely blank and I don't know why, but it breaks my heart. I wipe my tears and try to steady my breaths. "I... I'm sorry for bugging you like that. I... I'm just so excited to finally meet you again after all these years." "Mmm." She simply murmurs, nodding her head.
"Growing up I uh..." I sniffle and look up to prevent the tears in my eyes from spilling down. I kept asking about you from my father but he wouldn't say anything. He hid every photo of yours and did not lethave access to anything that would remindof you, but none of that could makeforget you so I kept asking about you and he didn't like it." "Don't you want to know how you got here?" She suddenly diverts from the topic and my already shattered heart breaks into even smaller pieces.
What's that indifferent look I see in her eyes? Isn't she excited to seeafter all these years? Why doesn't she look happy to see me? "I uh..." I clear my throat and decide to go with her flow despite the bleeding state of my heart.
This is not the reunion I had hoped for. I imagined we would hug each other for the longest time, bawling our eyes out and she would kissfervently, tellinghow much she misses me, but the exact opposite is happening and I feel terribly heartbroken.
"How did you manage to getout?" I ask in a gloomy tone.
"I used a very dangerous skill I do not want to bother you about. I uh... I was taking a nap and I kept hearing your cries in my dream. You were sobbing and calling out forto cand save you and I immediately knew you were in trouble so I used the skill to show up in that dungeon cell and rescue you." "What exactly is that skill?" I ask, curious. If what she's saying is true then Alpha Reagan must be losing his mind right now. I vanished into thin air.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You will know with time. For now, let's go back down so I can introduce you to my husband and children and then get you something to eat. You must be starving. You've been out conscious for three days." "Three days?"
"Yes. The process is quite draining and since it was your first tm experiencing it, you blacked out. I'm happy you're fine now." She rises from the bed.
"And uh... your new family. Are they okay withbeing here?"
"You need not worry about that.
Con." She starts to lead the way out of the bedroom and I lifelessly follow suit.
She's not excited to seeafter all these years, but he doesn't sound like she hates the fact that I'm here with her. I have so many so many questions.
I am so confused! X
