Later that evening
Kat refuse to eat dinner and went to bed early.
Bel tried to ask her what happened multiple times but got nothing from her, she was unable to sleep so she decided to check on Kat again but when she walk to her room she heard kat crying inside
Knock Knock
Bel knock on the door gently " Kat can I come in ?"
" I know you don't want to talk about what happened today and I won't force you to, but I can't watch you keep been sad, I can't sleep thinking about it so how about we sleep together tonight?"
Inside
Kat look at the door from under her blanket before wiping her tears and let Bel in
Bel walk to the bed and hug Kat without asking anything.
" Good night Kat, I love you " Bel kiss her forehead before her eyes
" Good night mom" Kat also close her eyes
But few minutes later, she open her eyes and look at Bel who is trying to keep her eyes close.
" mom, is it true that I was a child born by mistake?, was I not plan for? And do my father not want me?" .
Kat ask everything on her mind at once , she can't keep things from her mom and she also know that her mom wouldn't be able to sleep without finding out what's wrong.
Bel open her eyes and hold kat face in her hands
" where do you hear that from?"
" my classmates told me that they heard their mother saying I was given birth to by mistake, that I have an unknown father and my father does not want me and our family is cursed to give birth out of wedlock "
Kat say with tears .
Bel wil her tears
" I can't lie to you but what am going to say and want you to know is that I did not gave birth to you by mistake, I love you very much that is why I had you, without you I would have been dead with all the rumors and anger I pass through, sorry I can't give you a complete family and let you pass through all this , please don't be sad , just remember this when they tell you all that, you should stand up for yourself because I love you and you know that I love you, and will always will "
Bel cry and embrace kat .
Kat struggle out of Bel hand and hold her face before wiping her tears
" you don't have to be sorry mom, you have always make my life perfect as far as I can imagine, thank you mom, I learnt from school that you can't always have good things in your life and that makes you sad sometimes but you should remember the best things in your life , you are the best thing in my life mom and I love you "
Kat embrace her
" Thank you Kat "
They both fell asleep with a smile on their faces.
At fifteen
The rumors about them suddenly died down, that was because Kat won the National Scholarship of T100,000 and free from all high school fees for getting the first place in the National Maths Olympic, her name was spoken in tvs and she got interviews , all school want her because of her straight A's results.
This is a very big achievement for a small town of JUNIN, people from nearby towns come to their town just to interview Kat and their town was shown in the tv which increased their sales and popularity.
So the news and rumors about them died down, at least nobody made friends with them but also nobody make an enemy with them.
Kat became the envy of all students because their parents use her as an example.
Bel was also introduced into the fish selling business, it might not see to be a lot but it secure their everyday expenses and she was also be able to save money unlike her previous per time delivery work.
Bel was also to save money for Kat college in case she was not able to get a college scholarship which is very unlikely depending on how smart her daughter is but it won't hurt to save up some than not saving.
Their life was peaceful and hopeful
Now you are telling her that her only hope is gone?
