# Maria ❤️

#you're so beautiful...I look your skin

# what's your skin care products Maria

# if I have a brand you'll surely help me with it 😍

# as long as Maria did the advertisement am getting this product

I smile at myself and my laptop going through the peoples comment on instagram

" come on Maria you're killing people out there with your beautiful " my best friend said looking at it with me " I love your skin so much"

" I love yours also that's why we're best friends Beauty .... a black and asian girl together as best friends and your name says it all we're beautiful" she smiles then look at my laptop

" ohhh here look at this ' God do you have asian blood because you Damm look like a blasian ' " she reads out " see not only people around you think so "

" well I don't and am happy I look like a blasian..... because my Korean boyfriend is gonna be very lucky to have me " well maybe part is because I grew up with her as my best friend because people say when you spend time with someone you tend to start looking like them

" talking about Korea when are we going to go there..... park kai hyun wants us to go on a date but I don't want to go to korea without my best friend..... he's also very rich from the pictures I've seen "

" I don't know Beauty...my mom keep saying am not ready to go to Korea yet and all that "

" well when are you going to be ready .....my grandma has been calling my parents that I should come visit and I keep giving them excuse "

" I'll talk to my mom ...I promise" I smile at her "

" okay "

*********

" mom am home" I said kicking my shoes off and hanging my coat . I walk into the kitchen playing with the necklace on my neck

" mo....oh my God mom " I run to her side . she's on the floor lying lifelessly

" thank God you... came on.... time " she said holding my hand

" lemme call the ambulance" I said searching for my phone

" no no need.....am happy anyways " she smiles a little

" what the heck mom don't say that " I almost yell still searching my pockets wait it's in my bag . I get up

" you're not a normal child Maria ...." I stop and look at her " you always wanted to know the reason I never let you take of that necklace with dried blood on hit ...it's..... it's your father's blood " I look at her shocked then to the necklace

" what are you saying mom ?"

" your father was not just an ordinary man he's human but still not human " I furrowed my eyebrows " your father was an alien .... and yes what people say are true ...you are asian "

" wait what ?"

"your father...was an Asian handsome but he was killed because he broke an alien law which is aliens are meant to marry just alien.....but...."

" he married you ...." I said softly looking at the ground

" yeah and they were gonna kill me you and your father but he offered himself" she said as tears flow down her eyes " even if they were meant to marry non alien it should be a Korean because that's where they landed many years ago and they shape shift to koreans also"

" so you mean they killed dad because he married a foreigner ?"

" yes .....your dad was a good man he died a day before you were born "

so am not a complete human and also am really a blasian

" the necklace I think it's to hold you from getting out of control because you're very powerful....which is why they never wanted a foreigner because now you're more powerful with the blood of a non Korean mixed with the blood of an alien it's... makes you more powerful "

" with the necklace on can I still use my power ? "

" yeah .... those moments you throw your hands and something falls it's was your power all along. And I wanted to tell you all along but I said when you're 24yo "

FLASHBACK 1

" oh come on " I shout hitting the table and it's breaks falling on the floor

" are you okay ?" mom came running in

" am sorry I didn't mean for that to happen " I explained

" ohh it's okay the table was getting bad " I smiled at her

FLASH BACK 2

" everybody get down " arm robbers shout and everyone gets down . why did they choose these mall of all places I mean it's a small mall they should have pity a little. I look up a little and my eye make contact with one of the robbers

" you get up "

" me?" I whisper and raise my head fast hoping to see he wasn't talking to me but instead he's pushed up by a strong force " oh my God " I exclaim moving back and everyone shout " what the hell just happened ?" The other robbers start shooting just anywhere. I bend my head and hide " all the bullet should fall out please please" I whisper

everybody became quiet , I look up to see no body is moving in about five seconds then the robbers bullet drop

" what the hell men it's like there's a ghost in here....let's get out " the robbers said well they left the one who was pushed by a strong force and he was arrested

BACK TO REALITY

" so you mean all those times it was my power all along " she nod .....I don't know if I should be happy or sad or anything .... she's lying

" the book you need for your power isn't here your dad used it back then and it's in korea and I know I've not been the best mother but "

" no mom you have and will always be ....you even trained me ....and made me learn how to use gun and learn self defense thanks mom " but what's this crazy story all about.....?

" I did all that because I want you to take revenge for your father's death "

" okay mom ....." sometimes my mom tend to say rubbish and you just have to say she's correct

" your TRUE IDENTITY is Park Soo hyun but I called you Maria Grande to hide your identity that's the name your father wanted to name you "

" it's gwiyeoweo" yeah she also made me learn Korean but back then she said she just loved the language ... and I do too

she smiles then breath in " there's a CD in my wardrobe bring it out now "

" okay " I get up and run to her room...I search her clothes for the CD and finally I found it . I run back down " mom I found....it " I look at her body on the floor. I forget she was dying and got carried by the stupid story she created and now " mom...." I run to her side " mo.....mom wake up "

15 minutes later

" hell... hello Beau....ty " my voice cracks as I move around the room looking crazy running my hands in and out of my hair

" yes Maria what made you call this late and why do you sound like that ?" she ask and I can sense the worries in her voice

" my...my ..."

" calm down Maria breath in and tell me "

" my mom she's ..... she's dead " I said and drop to the flow not believing it

" what ?" I hear her scream

" she died recently right under my nose .....and .....and "

" I'll be there right now " she said and hang up

I get up and walk to where my mom's body is still lying down.....I sit far away looking at her pale skin and how she looks

" mommmmmmm!!!!!" I cry out loud running my hands into my hair ..... why does she have to die , who knows if the stories weren't a lie just to get my attention and make me not call the ambulance

But why would she want to die when her daughter is progressing as a social media influencer , brand are all calling me but my mother choose to die and leave me alone

it hurts a lot

" Maria ?" I hear Beauty call as she walk into the house " Maria where are you ?"

" am.....in.....the.....kitchen " I stammer

" oh my God" she run into the kitchen and hug me immediately " calm down and where is she ?" I nod my head towards the direction of my mom which she's backing

she slowly turn around " oh my God !" she said shocked the hug me back " come on let's get out of here " she leads me to the living room

" oh Maria baby" I look up to see Beauty's mom , she hug me dearly " I came immediately I saw Beauty's text

" but she was fine yesterday.... it's just this morning she complained of headache.....if I had knew I'd have taken her to the hospital " I cry

" shhhhh"

ONE HOUR LATER

Right now my house is full all my mom's friend and my friends are here to console me and they called the ambulance to take my mom's body away

she was still very young you know she was just 49yo isn't she still young , why my mom of all whyyyyyyy

" did you get to talk to her before she died ?" Nina asked and I nod which gains everyone's attention " what did she say ?"

" just she loves me and all that that she wants me to be happy " I said....I don't think my mom will be happy if I tell them the real truth about me been blasian and alien . you can't trust anyone even though I don't believe the story I can't tell them the last stupid story my mom told me

" we're so sorry Maria" my friends said
