Luna was became a bully so that she could stand and fight for herself, her cousin, Amanda bullied her a lot when she moved into their house, she would humiliate and embarrass Luna at every given opportunity, and call her a thief because Amanda felt that Luna was living off her parents and benefiting for free. She called Luna motherless and would sometimes say her mother was a whore thats why she was abandoned, Luna got angry one day after Amanda said a lot of things to her and slapped her, she twisted her arm and slammed her face against the wall! They became more of rivals rather than cousins, and Amanda became scared of Luna as time when on.
She was tired of keeping quiet and decided to act it out and defend herself, that was the beginning of Luna's tyranny, she became ruthless and mean, no one dared her again and she became very temperamental all because this woman standing here left her!
"Since you left, do you know how I have been living? How I feed, whether I went to school, or whether my health was good?
You were always absent on my birthdays, Amanda, Aunt Reymuna's first daughter, she bullied me a lot but there was no one to stand up for me, you were no where to be found, Do you know? When my first period came, I was hospitalized because it was too painful, the doctor asked where my mother was to sign the papers, but I couldn't answer, because she was no where in sight". Luna was broken as she was telling this to Susan, these were the most painful part of her life and she went through them alone.
Susan just stood there, she knew she was guilty, because she left her daughter and the love of her life, Seth Rey, he was a good man and he doted on her, but he became depressed due to the falling apart of his business, he became a drunk and was abusive, back then she was not strong enough so she fled and Seth refused to allow her take Luna thinking she will come back again.
" Lu baby, I-
" Don't call me that! You hav ost all the rights to call me that name! Susan shivered but managed to speak, " Listen, I didn't want to leave you behind, I had no choice that's why, your father wouldn't let me take you, when I left, I went to Spain and continued my studies, but there was no day that I didn't yearn to see you, my child, she then feel on her knees, Forgive your mum, please, when i heard your father died, I tried to come get you, but your aunt Reymuna said she would take care of you, I never knew you were suffering like that, baby.... Please forgive this mother of yours", Luna was crying her eyes out sitting on the floor, while Susan was kneeling.
Luna was exhausted from crying, she just laid on the floor and was sobbing, Susan just knelt down and was crying silently, the whole room was quiet for a while before Luna spoke up,
" I can never forgive you, neither can I accept your apologies, it's of no use now, so just get up and leave, you are not a mother to me in anyway! She looked at Susan coldly and turned to get bedroom slamming the door with a bang!
Susan slowly got up and looked to the closed door, ' am sorry, Lu' I have made mistakes in my life, but I have committed sin against you, am not going to give up until I become your mother again, I'll heal that brokenness, my child' she turned and walked out of the apartment.
