You're sisters?" Dora crawls out with spiteful eyes, her shoulders shrugs to the beat of her nerves.
' Gush '
"I doubt it" June says with a quick look at her mother and Dora's mother. Hell no they're sblings, there's nothing in copy of them , her brain wash out all doubts. Her mom stands tall with iron characters while Dora's mother fall short with extravagant characters, in short their facial features and characters doesn't match.
"Of course it impossible, we ain't sisters sblings as your brains are playing. We're just sisters as in a club or friendship, before thou" June's mother clears the thick air, getting a smooth sigh from Dora.
"So you ain't siblings?. Thank goodness" a hard breathe slangs with a soothing smile from Dora only to fade away on sight of June's harsh eyes and grinning lips.
"You said before, what does that mean?" June ask
"It means your mother and I ain't friends anymore." Grace responds to June's silly question, oh so she thought while she rolled her eyes at the pop of her question.
"Clearly someone wasn't please with my choices ,in all we've move passed the past . So when's the shopping starting" Grace said handing June's mom stinkful eyes.
To think the trip would be peaceful. All through their ears goes sour on their mothers childish argument that makes no sense. What worse they got it to the wedding planner string on thin ice, who's company they are in.
"No,no,no. My daughter's special day won't be host at such local and cheap venue "
Dora balled a hand on her face, a wish she can vanquish beneath the floor she's standing on.
"And my daughter won't have a lavish wedding. She wants a simple wedding with only friends and family" mis Betty protests , guiding her arms to the front .
" That because you can't afford it" she said smirking her lips in challenge to her intended words.
"Oh excuse me, just so you know I can afford a much lavish and expensive wedding for my daughter" mis Betty protested in gasps.
" then why ain't you giving her a fancy wedding?, or are you scare as usual of going broke"
"Unlike you I think before doing things and I know the value of money, I don't just spend it like a mad woman "
"hu..h" Dora's mom gasped in suspense .
"who're you calling a mad woman?" she asked
"I don't know but I definitely know it not me. Whoever the shoes fit wears it" she sarcastically said in riddle, earning a loud groan from Dora's mom.
" Isn't it just like you, always protesting against my decisions "
"That because your decisions always involve huge flashy exhibition"
"That's why I didn't invite you to my last party because I know this will be your attitude"
"The same reason I chose to have another friend. You always wanted the centre of attention "
'mm" a little gasps forms on Dora's mom tone, stabbing her gaze on June's mother.
"How dare you".
With fold arms they watch their moms attract audience in the mall. They really can't figure much of it but June is certain misunderstanding led in and her lips are starting to crack in excitement.
"Don't you dare?" Dora warns in glance of her crooked lips and squint eyes. She knows well enough what's cooking in her head.
The scene of their mothers crept in idea of hosting them in her show and Dora is against it. She much fear of how they will react to it or how it would end, they're both small heads one little wrong can cause disaster . And she isn't willing to risk it, not specially with their wedding at the corner.
" Why not talk it out on my show "
....
"Don't tell me you believed her words" James scolds out. The news of Bella choice being compelled years back sounds crook to him, his guts are certain it's one of her tricks. But his friend's unstable expression and continuous sigh indicate he believes her words, and a thin part of him believe his father might have influenced Bella's decision.
" Let say your dad asked her to walk out of your life, but why didn't she tell you about it?. Also how sure are you that things went as she said?"
"I just want to know what happened that year"
" Find the truth if that's what you want but you better be careful with her. Don't forget you proposed to June and your wedding is in two weeks, tomorrow you register your marriage. I would be cautious of a girl like Bella if I were you" James caution with taps of his fingers on the desk .
"Dr Deen, your mom's…"
Dave captures his mom eyes before the nurse could alert her presence. James smooth his way out, handling a privacy between them. He can tell Dave's going to question his mother about Bella and his presence in such conversation won't be warming welcome.
"Why are you still here?" His mom complains her way in replacement on James's seat.
"Poor June must be alone, figuring what to decide on, when you should be helping out, it also your wedding" he listens to his mom's scolds in tight lips.
He's going to help out but Bella's words hit him hard and he wants to know the truth before stepping to the future he's sured of.
" You remember Bella?"
His mom eyes dimmed on the name, clenching her fingers for her bag.
" The girl that broke your heart ten years ago " her voice liad in cracks. She isn't please with the rise of her name.
She knows of the pain her son went through after her disappearance and now is not the time for her shadow in the picture. Even if she tries to make a existence she is certain to wipe her out of her son's life.
" Did dad had her paid to leave me?" Thou his heart is true to the course of marrying June and that he loves her but his peace isn't settled not without settling the troubles in his mind and heart.
He needs the truth to free him to a smooth future.
" Your dad did asked her to leave you but he never paid her not without her request"
"Her request?" his dubious comes out in cold husky tone
Sound as her memories present , her presence was seen on the top floor eavesdropping on the conversation between her husband and Bella. Her twice conscience to prompt to Bella's defense died on her respond back.
" I can't leave your son, not without a compensation. I've invested years on him ,how can I leave without getting nothing in return" the innocence coward to the devil within, spiring her eyes with loose hands that were folded in each other. Her polite smile was lost in something she couldn't explain , even her body movement said otherwise.
" What compensation do you seek?"
" For my five years with him, I want you to grant me an aid to my studies outside the country. I want to be ballerina,so make it possible. Not only that make me famous, so that no other family will reject me as you did"
....
"She asked for pay fee to break up with you and your father did just that. Even I couldn't protest against it as it was right to have a girl like her out if your life".
You can say he is shock or speechless to his mom's words yet again he showed little of those. His hands clenched on the desk while his throat gulps the last of it saliva. He's more hurt than he was when she left with just few words, the truth being told to him and how she traded their relationship leaves more scars.
His feet makes an entrance to the ward she's in. A view of her body rises on his arrival is steal from the corner of his eyes.
"Did you leave anything out on what you said?"
Her ears dares not refute his cold tone, she firmly recognizes his off mood. With shifts arms to her laps, she crossed her thoughts for a quick pull as she knows he must have known what transparent between her and his father.
" Your mom told you " she asked huffing her heart out, it insane how her good trick failed to work. Either way she tried the best she could.
What shame is it in it?, She only wants the love of her first love, she only desires to gain his favor. What wrong did she do?
' Selfish? '
She isn't the first nor will she be the last, greed exist in all hearts, she just shows hers out.
" Is it my fault?. I was with you but was being judged every where we went, they say I wasn't your class and I was with you for your wealth, but you know that wasn't true. " her voice might not be heard by others nor her reason be valid to others, but one thing is for sure she did loved him with everything. And her decision mostly came through after the taunts , all she wanted was to be of his status, one that no one will look down or judge not equal with his.
" Did I ever complain about your status?"
"You didn't but others did. And don't go asking me why do I care about what others think. You won't understand what it was like, day after day I bared the taunts. When my mother was being mocked to be a bread seller or my father who couldn't do anything but drink." With her face drop in her hands, she drown her eyes in it salted water .
With silence lips he leaves her in her shallow state, settling his mind for an end ties with her. Just like the nature drops, it fun and full with beautiful memories but forgotten once it stops flowing.
.....
" Where could she be ?" Thomas asked skimming his phone for another line to phone about his daughter location. She left hours ago to meet her mother at her company but Linda confirms she didn't make an appearance. They have call all the friends they know for their daughter but all knew nothing of her location.
Her phone was tried several times but was unreachable.
" If not with her friends then where could she have gone?, is she alright? " Linda worried voice cries out.
Her line have been busy for the passsed hours, checking on all close relatives she feels her daughter might visit but nor gave the reply they expected. Her jittered hands are strengthen by Thomas firm hands.
"Is she alright, what if.."
"Nothing, nothing bad will happen to her. I'm sure she'll be home soon" Thomas cool in with a smile that fades out from his unassured of his comfy words.
The cops were called, by their words action can only be taken after twenty-four hours of person missing, it looks like it's all on their heads .
The worried case is that , it the first act of her going missing or late with no track. She's always on time and phones her parents about every location of her. Linda's motherly instinct can tell her daughter is in danger but yet again she prays it just paranoid.
...
"Shhhhh" the single plate finger laid flat on the shaken lips, the eyes spikes out light with cruel smirks . She brut her legs for a walk to the next to nothing chair that stands weak on it feet.
"Your mother must be so worry" the voice clasps the walls of the tiny room that looks like its falling any moment soon. Steadying her gaze on the frightening little thing, she lays a peck on her salt cheek.
"Don't blame me little one, blame your parents, both mom and dad, they forced my hands" the light attracts it way half to the face that comes in contact of it.
Beths body jogs up as she lays eyes to the half reveal face. Even without a full grasp she can tell who it is.
"Don't force it little one or you might just hurt yourself" she said soothing the hair that has rough out from all the struggles to get loose and drag of her body to the location.
"Why are you doing this?" She asks with a release of the tape from her lips.
"Why not. I lost my baby now it time your parents feel what it like to lose a child".
