*******************************************

I got home and I can't stop the tears from falling, I don't even know what to do again, with my job or betrayal or even my self because it all seems like letting go is the only option.

when I entered into the living room I met me mum standing and looking at me like she truly understand what am passing through with her hands wide open asking for a hug, I walked into her embrace and break down, why is the word "fate" so cruel to me !? what have I done to deserve this from people that I cared about, why Sonia of all people !?

"" sh sh sh she" my mum tries to console me, " why me mum "!? why !?

"" sh sh sh sh". is OK sweetheart we are here for you even if the world reject and abandon you know that I and your father will never ever abandon you, she said still petting me at my back

with her words of encouragement , I decided to put myself together, I don't know what fate have in store for me but I believe to overcome it and cheer myself up, is not easy but I with try as much as I can.

" Mum am hungry please, is there any food for me "!? my words surprise my mum but she immediately cover up

" why not dear ' you know your mum is the best cook in this whole world"" here she comes again with her bragging

"" of course mum is the best' even bester than six stars hotel " I said and she smile , that's one thing with my mum, she is not the lazy type and life with her is truly a blessing to me, she knows how to cheer some one up even in there deepest situations, she would always come with her words of encouragement, a life with her is never a dull type and I love her for that.

"" come on honey, I prepared your favorite " she said and I smile, I can't kill myself because of a spoiled milk, but I hope and pray that my tomorrow will be much better than today'" with those words in my mind I left to the kitchen with her to dig into the food she prepare for me
