Mother's love

Continuation…

Hearing her calling me daughter made me sad, made me think of my mother… I was barely holding onto my tears, which would fall any moment. I did not want to make it look obvious that I am sad, so I quickly put on a fake smile and replied, “Thank you, Please excuse me then”. Entering inside the house. I was stunned to see how beautifully the house was maintained with cute decorations and traditional vases which almost took my breath. I exclaimed,” It's beautiful, I can feel the amount of love you have for your home". The grandma laughing at my remarks replied, “thank you, I guess you had not expected this huh!”. I really had not expected it to turn out this way, I judged a book by its cover, I felt embarrassed, "I am sorry if I offended you in any way". I said with my head looking down. I heard people laughing, and I see that both the elders were laughing at me. The grandma, "I did not mean to scare you at all! I am not angry at you". William, "why do keep apologizing for everything, please consider this as your home". I just got to know that I keep saying sorry, I guess it has become a habit. I gave a nervous laugh, "I see". Grandma, "I am Lucy, as you can see I am still young and beautiful". I respectfully gave her a bow, "I am Anna, you really look young and pretty as a matter of fact! . I am 24 this year". Lucy with a bright smile on her face, "You really know how to flatter me! ". With a smile, "I don't know how to address you". Lucy, "I would love to have a daughter who is so cute". I was flustered at her remark, it was not like I hated it, to be honest I was happy. I guess she found me being uncomfortable, Lucy, "It's fine, you can just call me Lucy". I hurriedly replied, "Mom". My heart really must have wanted to call her as mom... Lucy, "William, look at my daughter, isn't she gorgeous! ". I could see how happy she was. William, "Yes, indeed she is pretty. Finally, you got a daughter, I am jealous of you ". We all laughed for a while, and without knowing it was already 11 pm. William, who insisted that I call him uncle, bid farewell after a short chat.

My mom... took me to my room and gave me a goodnight kiss on my forehead and left. I was over the moon!!! I feel like I became a 5-year-old kid all of a sudden. Likewise, I am really happy to call her as my mom, without any worry I slept having sweet dreams, I guess it must be mom's magical kiss.

I woke up in the early morning, it was 4 am. I could hear the rooster's alarm, but this time it was the real one. I went out of my room and saw that my mom was already awake, Lucy, "Good morning, did u sleep well? ". I replied, while still rubbing my eyes, "Good morning, mom".

My morning couldn't have been much more perfect.
