Meeting My Mom

chapter 01

-10:30am-

"That's bullshit!!!! You can't fake news to write on your newspaper article!!!"

That's my boss, I'm a writer... I write articles for the REALlife newspaper..

REALlife newspaper is one of the best newspapers in the world... Yh, you heard it right... Its famous around the world.. well, that's because of the great stories they publish every month.

We publish real life situations, so people can read them and get motivated.

My boss, Gang only believes in things that actually exists, for him the impossible is never possible..

So you see, he and I don't go pretty well.

- 10:33am-

" Hey!"

I turn around to see who it is even though I could recognise the person by voice.

" Got scolded from the boss, eh? Just chill, tell me what was your article about?"

" It's about the aliens landing their spaceship in a farm. The farmers has seen circle marks all over his farm." I replied with a slight smile...

"Well, I guess the farmers tricked you.."

" I disagree." I commented and turned around to start my work on another article..

You see, it's very hard to make others believe in something that they don't believe in without evidence... Sometimes even if you have evidence, it's not enough to convince them that it's actually possible.

-12 noon-

" Hello. This is the REALlife newspaper. How am I help you?"

That's the receptionist. She deals with all the calls that we receive to REALlife newspaper. I wonder whose calling.

" Mo!!! It's for you.. get in here!!! Now!!!!" The receptionist screamed.

I ran as fast as I could , grabbed the phone and said,

"Yes. It's Molly speaking. How can I help you?"

"Listen up! I'll only say it once. There's a delivery for you and it is sent to your apartment.. I knocked the door twice. I had enough and I left the package over there. Take it soon or that old lady next door will take it thinking it belongs to her... She's a bit pyscho.. I hope you know that."

The man cuts the line.

" What's up? Another alien story?" Laughs the receptionist while she questions me.

I look at her and go back to my room to get my stuff.

And oh, by the way I'm Molly... Nice to meet you.5:00pm-

"Finally home. Now where's this package?" I questioned myself while searching for my delivery.

"Looking for something my dear?"

I turned to my left.

" Oh! Miss Sanders. Did you happen to see my delivery?" I questioned while still searching for it.

" Hold on dear." Replied miss Sanders and went in.

I stopped searching and stood in front of her door and there she came with a big black box in her hands.

" This is your delivery. It looked important and I knew you'll be late because of the traffic so I kept it with me safe to give it to you." She said with a smile.

" Oh miss Sanders. How kind of you. Thank you so much... Do you perhaps know what's inside? I don't even know who it's from and where it came from.?" I commented with a doubtful look.

Miss Sanders smiled and said,

" Oh well, it seems like you'll have to find out that by yourself because I don't know what's inside."

I looked down at the black box as she handed over it to me. I smiled and went into my house.

" Oh god, what a day!" I say to myself while sitting on my sofa.

I put the box on the floor. I really never gotten a delivery before.. obviously after I broke up with my ex.

" What could be inside you,box?"

It's a black box! Not a brown one... I mean normal delivery boxes are brown not black.. but then I was too curious to be worried.. so I opened the box and there it was.. the thing that changed my life... right in front of my eyes.

chapter 02

It was a phone! (Okay, you know what? I know what you're thinking... How did a phone change her life. Well. You'll just have to keep on reading it till the end.)

" A phone? What? Why would anyone send me a phone?"

I take it out of the box and lay it on the sofa while searching for something more in the box.

" Come on, there's got to be someth.... Ah ha! I got something!"

It was stuck to the box.. I pulled really hard and finally found out...

" A letter? You have got to be Kidding me?! Let's see what's written in it."

Letter:

Dear Molly,

I know you have never met me or talked with me for a long time

I know you had to go through some harsh time in life to be where you are now and I am extremely sorry for that.

I wish I could go back in time and spend more time with you.

I wish I could have you by my side but I couldn't..

I was very selfish.. I only thought of my job and money...

After your mother died, I completely lost myself.. I distracted myself with work.

But now, it's too late... There's nothing that I could do to make things change.. going back in time will not make anything better...

I'm in very bad health. The doctors said I'll die soon and that's why I wanted you to have this phone..

It's one of my latest inventions...

Please don't let anyone use it.. it's not a ordinary phone that can be used by ordinary people.

I'm sorry I left you to handle your own life in the age of 10. I hope you could forgive me

I will always love my cutie pie,

Love,

Dad.

I never thought I'll cry when I knew that my dad died but I did... After all I'm matured enough to understand why he acted the way he acted. I don't blame him for anything and plus, I've forgiven him a long time ago but I never went to meet him... I just didn't want to. Something always stopped me.

"Ding Ding!"

I ran to my door and opened it.

" Hi! I'm doctor Meth. Are you Mr. Collingwood's daughter?"

" Yes I am. How can I help you?"

" May I come in?" Asked the doctor.

I pulled myself to the side of the door and slightly nodded. The doctor smiled and entered.

" You have a lovely home, Miss Collingwood." The doctor commented while looking around my living room.

" Please call me, Molly... I haven't used Collingwood since my mom died." I replied while pointing at the sofa for him to sit.

" Thank you."

I smiled.

" So, how can I help you Dr. Meth?" I questioned while I sat on the chair that faced the sofa.

" Well, as you and I know your father has passed away.. but he apparently has left some of his belongings in the hospital like his wallet, phone, ID, two cinema tickets and some pictures." replied the doctor while he laying them down on the table right in front of him.

I looked down at them.

" Dr.Meth, why do you bring this to me? I mean you could have just delivered it to me like every other hospital does.. there's has to be another reason you're here. What is it you want?" I questioned him.

" You are right. We normally deliver this to your doorstep for convenience but I have a something to talk about. It'll be lovely to have a cup of coffee at the moment.. cause we're going to have a long chat."

-8:30pm-

" So basically what you're telling me is that im not Collingwood family's daughter?"

The doctor nodded.

" That's crazy... I have pictures of my mom having me in her womb. I have pictures of me growing up. You're mistaken doctor." I replied while getting myself up to wash my cup.

Dr.Meth follows me.

" Well the thing is your mom didn't know that you weren't hers. She thought you were the baby that came out of her womb but that's not true. Your mother was supposed to give a birth to a boy.. All the tests were run and everyone was urgely waiting for a son but that son never came out but instead died in your mother's womb."

I turned and stared at the doctor with tears in my eyes.

"Where is my real mother? Why are telling this to me now? Why didn't you tell my mother that I was not hers?"

The doctor looked down

" I know it's hard but your dad believed that telling you about this now would be the best moment because you would be matured enough to understand the situation."

"DR.METH!! JUST ANSWER ME!"

" Your mother died while giving birth to you. I'm telling this to you now because that's what your father wanted me to do. Your dad or your family didn't want mom... Your mom to know that her child died."

I fell to ground... I just couldn't stop crying.. why does life always have to hurt me so hard? I hate my life.

"Ho- how did my mom die? How did my other mom's son die?" I questioned still crying because I can't hold the pain.

The doctor sat on the floor .

" I'll tell you everything.

It was 20 years ago few hours before you were born, a kid came to the hospital because her water bag broke.

She was 15 years old orphan but man, she was very beautiful. She had been raped when she was caught one night while she was going to her orphanage.

Your mother came our hospital at the last moment.. it was a moment of life and death...

We tried our best but we couldn't save your brother.

When I told your dad about the bad news, he only asked me to do one favour for him and that was to not tell your mother that her son died."

I cried... I couldn't keep it in.... It's too much. Is this a nightmare? This can't happen. I cried so hard.

" So, I didn't tell her. I told her that her husband doesn't want me to tell your mother the baby's gender yet because he wanted to surprise her.. and when she asked me where her baby was... I lied to that as well.

At the same time, your real mother was giving birth to you but they had to do a C section because your real mother didn't have the strength to push. Everything went really smooth till the doctor in charge accidentally cut a vein..so, unfortunately they couldn't save her."

I couldn't breathe...

The doctor lifted my chest, " breathe dear, breathe."

I stood up soon, went to the living room and sat on my sofa. The doctor sat next to me.

" I know it's hard but that's the truth."

I looked at him still trying to catch my breath.

" So, when she died ... You... You... gave me to my mother telling her that I was... I was... her girl."

I cried....no, it's too hard.. the doctor held my hand.

" I'm sorry." Said the doctor with grief.

I threw his hand and stood up. Looked at him.

" YOU'RE SORRY!!! Oh yh right. That would solve everything. That would bring my mother back. I lost both of my mothers. You know that, everyone knew that.. what have I ever do to deserve this kind of life. YOU THINK ITS EASY?! HUH?

WELL, DO YOU?

How could you do this to me? You killed both of my mothers. How could you? How dare you?! You think it's easy to live without a mother?! Huh? Do you? And now, you come here and say all this.. and the only thing you can say is that YOU'RE SORRY!! What the hell is wrong with you? My whole life is ruined. There's no one for me.. literally nobody... I was at least happy that my father lived even though he was metres away from me but now I don't even have him and you're sorry?"

I looked at the doctor in anger. The doctor looked down in grief.

" I wish there was something I could do..."

I interrupted him.

" There is something you can could do. You can get the HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE! GET OUT NOW!"

The doctor stood up.

" I understand what you're going through but just calm down. Sleep for a while and give me a call if you want to know anything else."

I pointed at the the front door without saying a word. He walked pass me looking at him with sadness filled in his eyes. It was like he was asking for forgiveness. But I had none.

When I was about to shut the door. He turned around and said,

" Take this, this is your dad's lawyer. You need to call him tomorrow and get hold of him to find out about your dad's last will. Your dad was very close to me so I'm pretty sure his last will is worth listening to.. it's your decision but here you go, take this."

He handed out a card. I took it and nodded my head. I watched the doctor leave and closed the door. I turned and looked at my house... There's nothing felt instead of sorrow.

I felt like my house was falling apart like my heart
