Mum? Mum ! You can't keep doing this to me! Please open the door... okay I won't ask you anything, just eat your food. I promise, Alice shouted as she kept knocking on Iris's door. Iris wanted to open the door but she couldn't, she felt like she would go back into the shell she was... not realizing how deep she has gone into the shell, she sobbed so hard that tears could not find its way to her eyes anymore.
Alice didn't give up... she stayed outside iris's door till she fell asleep. Iris could no longer hear any sound, so she thought Alice left to her room. She opened the door as she saw the sleeping Alice opposite her door. She was getting emotional once again as she thought about everything the little soul has passed through all her life and was disappointed in herself because that little soul is stronger than her.
I'm sorry Alice, for everything.. the lies, the pain, everything, she sobbed her she touched her peaceful face. Now, you will have to survive on your own. I really am sorry, she cried. Survive on my own? the pretending Alice thought. As Iris stood up to leave, Alice didn't know what got into her but she found herself holding her mum like her life depended on it.
I thought people pay for what ever bad thing they've done, why are you running away from it mum? Am I that useless to you? Here I am waiting for you to come out anytime, you came out at last and all you could do is saying goodbye while I was asleep. You were talking like you wanted to die, why? why?! why do I have to face all of these? Do I bring so much bad luck? Alice shouted with tears rolling down her cheeks.
You're not bad luck my baby, no don't talk like that. Okay I won't leave you. I'm sorry for being a woman before a mother. I won't leave anymore. I would focus on you as from today, Iris apologized. So, you haven't focused on me for a long time, she sobbed. Is that how insignificant I am to you? Let me ask you, have you ever loved me? Have you ever for once thought about me with a smile on your face? What exactly am I to you? Alice broke down. Iris was speechless.
What have I done? she thought. Alice I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of these things, I'm sorry, I... I..., Iris stammered. Enough! enough mum!!! I'm done with this, do whatever you want... not like you ever cared about me, Alice sobbed as she went to her room angrily. Alice? Alicia.. please open the door, I'm sorry... let me tell you everything, I really am sorry, Iris sobbed. I'm not ready to listen to a mother that doesn't love me, Alice shouted angrily.
She opened the door all of a sudden, which surprised Iris. Iris was more surprised because of the bag Alice held. Where are you going? Iris asked with her wide eyes.
On my way to look for my real father! Alice shouted as she walked towards the door as she heard a thudding sound.
