" Eda, what dress will be okay for my date with Andrew?"
" I think, the purple dress will be okay," I looked at the dress.
" If you say so,"
My mother comes in.
" Where is my beautiful daughter going?"
" Mom, I have a date with Andrew,"
" you and this your Andrew, do you love him that much?"
" Yes, I do, very well, " I looked at the time.
" Oh shit, I am very late, mom I am leaving, "I quickly leave
My name is Miranda, I have been dating Andrew for over 3 years now. Today is our anniversary, I am so happy. I arrived at the place
" Why were you late?"
" Sorry about that,"
" Let me call the waiter,"
He called the waiter, the waiter comes.
" what can I get for you, you want the usual?"
" Yes,"
" give me the same thing," The waiter left.
" you have become more pretty,"
" Of course, I am very pretty,"
The food comes, we laughed and talk about various things not knowing this was all a plan to get me outside of the house. I got a phone call.
" Sorry, let me pick up the call,"
I went to the bathroom to pick up the call.
In the phone Eda was crying.
" Eda, what is going on, why are you crying?"
" Miranda-, " she was sobbing
" Can you tell me what is going on?"
" Your mother..."
" What happened to her?"
" She is dead," I dropped my phone.
" Miranda, are you still on the phone, answer if you are on the phone,"
I left the bathroom and I meet with Andrew.
" I am leaving?"
" What happened?"
" I can't explain right now, I am leaving,"
" Let me go with you," We went to my house immediately.
I saw my stepmom and my stepsister with my Dad all looking down. Eda comes to me.
" Miranda, I know it is a shock to you but you have to be strong,"
" Where is my mother?"
" She is dead,"
" She was alright when I left this morning, what happened?"
" It is your bad luck for having such a witch as your mother, " my dad said angrily
" Dad, what are you talking about?"
" You don't need to know, " he turned to Eda.
" Take her back to her room,"
" Dad, explain to me what happened, " I was crying
" Miranda, come let's go,"
Eda forced me to go back to my room. I was in my room crying.
" What does my Dad mean by that?"
" Miranda, your mom got into a car accident and your dad believed that your mom went to see her lover,"
" What, why will my dad believed that?"
" That, I can't tell you,"
" I see, Eda, I want to be alone,"
Why is this happening to me, why? Mom, why did you let me be in this world alone? How can I cope without you? I was able to go forward knowing that you are by my side. I went to the kitchen to get some water and then I saw it.
