"I lost everything that day because of you" his mom shouted
"Mom you lost nothing because it wasn't yours to begin with, it was I who lost everything, you and dad doubled my pain and made it unbearable for me after they threw us out of their house because they said they were traveling but I am still grateful to them because I got the opportunity to school" Aidan said
"You idiot you never asked me why I was in the hospital"
"Because you fell off the stairs when we moved to a new place with the money those nice couples gave to me for upkeep till they returned from abroad" Aidan said
"I was pregnant with your father you idiot, you didn't hear the whole conversation. I did what I did because I was pregnant and I wanted them to take care of us because your dad was lazy and had no future for us"
"And you blame me for that"
"Yes because if not for you, I will not have suffered till today and my son would've been alive" his mother said
"Did you think that man was going to be happy with you ?"
"I was going to make him love me and even if he didn't we had an opportunity to live a better life"
"I at 13 got the chance to good food, a parent figure who cared for me even the little things, took me as their child and loved me like you two never did. They protected me while all you two did was to always put me in danger, you gave me scars and they healed them. Such people you wanted me to watch as you broke them? No mom even if I am given a second chance to make another decision I will still do what I did"
"Then you should have left with them"
"Maybe that's the part I would have changed. They asked me to come with them but I feared you guys were going to report them for taking me without your consent and maybe I wanted to be a good son who stood by his parents" he said and she slapped him
"I should have killed you when I got the chance to" his mom said and before she could leave he asked
"Is this the only reason why you hate me" because that was not a good reason, he had been suffering from her hands even before those nice couples came into the picture
"That's not a reason that's just an excuse, I don't need a reason to hate you I just hate you" she said
"Really?" He said, smile a little and shook his head, this was not a smile of happiness but of pain. His past and present is something he would never wish on anyone
"Yes, now here's a list of the medicines your father needs, go and pay for it" she said as she threw it at him
"Do you even care about him or you are just pretending? You called this same man, your husband lazy and has no future and wanted another woman's husband but you have been with that same man for all those years and currently still by his side, I guess even you're lost like me" he said and left to get his get his medicine. his mom became angry and said
"How dare you Aidan, since when did you have the courage to talk back at me? You think you are popular now so you have wings to fly? I will break that wings and reduce you to the nothingness that you are, and will always be. you will regret this. You didn't allow me to be happy so why should I allow you to" his mom said
"Aidan you're tired, today has been a trauma. You deserve rest, a break from where you're not appreciated and you're always put down, Aidan this is mental torture and it's draining" his conscience said
