"I m so sorry...so sorry Cole."
Cole stopped on his track to see his mother had halted on her steps when they reached the alley. She was looking down saying sorry to him before moving her eyes up to see him.
"I...I m a failure. I cannot provide you. It is me because of whom your life could turn dark. I m such a shame for a parent."
Cole quickly strode forward and held his mother in for a hug. She cried hard against his chest.
"It's an alright mother. I m fine. We will get past this. Don't cry, please. You are not a failure. "
He rubbed her back trying to soothe her but it was not working as Ivory continued to sob her heart out. She felt so helpless and like a loser. Today, she felt like she was not a good perfect mother to her son.
"I...I will go to him...He must have gone busy...I will talk to him...he will help us..."
