A Truth He Avoided

 Rebecca started to complain and Talia listened to everything just like she does every time. Although Rebecca tried her best to be not scared, but she still couldn't shake off the fear of losing her child.

"I miss you, Talia," Rebecca said after some silence. She felt it would be better if she was near her even though she knew it won't be possible for her. "You were...you are my closest friend although I have a lot of other friends. You used to only have me and now you are miles away from me. I worried for you, but you went on expanding your friends circle. And I feel left out!"

Talia didn't know if she should laugh or cry. She has talked about her new friends with Rebecca, but she didn't think she gave the impression that she is closer with them.
