The next day, Maya woke up with a splitting headache and with a panda eye. She lazily got up from her bed, and took her bath. When she went downstairs for breakfast,she saw her mom serving food on the table.
When her mom saw her,she exclaimed in shock and asked,honey! What happened to you? You look like someone that just got beaten up. "Mom I'm fine. I just slept a bit late.It's nothing to be afraid of" said Maya with a smile. "Are you sure? Or is there something your not telling me" asked her mom in a questioning look with one of her brow up.
"Mom I'm not hiding anything from you. Like I said,I slept a bit late. If you're worried about how I look I will use my scarf to cover my face" said Maya in a reassuring smile. Her mom still doubting Maya's reassurance asked again,you can miss school today if you want, I don't mind.
Maya wanted to say yes to her mom's tempting offer but she didn't because,she wanted to confront Leonard face to face and ask him so many questions like, why he didn't answer her messages, why he gave her high hopes by collecting her number and also why he played her and dumped her like trash.
She had some many questions to ask him and she can only do that today when she has the courage to do so,so she declined her mom's offer politely. After declining her mom's offer, she came and gave her mom a tight hug and asked in a cotish voice "mom, when I come can you give me a head massage and also watch k drama with me"?
Her mom laughed hardly and said, don't worry my little princess I will definitely give you a head massage and watch k drama with you. They hugged for a while before her mom broke the hug and said,honey, I think we should start eating before our food gets cold.
"Oh! That! I totally forgot. The hug was so comfortable that I didn't think of anything else" said Maya with a smile. Her mom chuckled softly at her remark and sat down with her to eat.
They ate in silence. After they finished eating, Maya and her mom cleared the plates and went to the car. When they entered the car, Maya leaned on the car window and slept. When her mom noticed that Maya had slept,she used a blanket in her car and covered Maya up gently.
When Maya's mom got to Maya's school, she tapped Maya's shoulder gently and told her that she's here. When Maya opened her eyes and saw she had reached school, she closed it again and yawned. She then removed the blanket from her body and looked at the car rear mirror before turning to look at her mom and said,mom thanks for covering me with the blanket earlier on.
Her mom looked at her and said in complaining voice, honey, I'm your mom for goodness sake not a stranger. I have every right to make sure you are alright and no harm come to you so why are you thanking me like I'm a stranger? Maya giggled a little and asked, mom when did you start acting petty? I was just saying it as a way of respect not anything. Alright if your angry I apologise, ok.
Her mom smiled and said, alright, I will forgive you this time but no thanking, ok, pinking promise. Her mom brought her hand forward for the pinking promise still smiling at Maya. Maya gave her mom a smile and said, alright, pinking promise and she made a pinking promise to her mom. The both of them laughed lightly at what they did. When the laughing calmed down, Maya said to her mom that she was running late,so she took her backpack and left after telling her mom good bye and her mom left.
