Chapter 7

Brent, Inigo and Aya we're already leaving. We finished our first draft and decided to continue it on the next weekend. We can still talk about it at school cause our prof gave us her time for us to discuss our project.

Aya was already heading towards our door when I stopped her.

"Hey, A wait!" I said calling her. "Can you please stay one more minute? I just call my mom. I want you to meet her." I added.

"Ah yes sure. I'd love to" she said setting herself aside to wait for my mom.

"Right. Just wait here" I said to her.

I quickly ran off of my mom's room to call her. I want her to meet Aya, my new friend. I knocked at her door.

"Mom? Can you please go out there, I want you to meet Aya, my friend" I said as I was continuously knocking at her door and later on she opened it.

"Hey sweetie, why?" she asked.

"Uh can you go down for a minute? I just want you to meet someone. She's my friend." I said pertaining to Aya.

"Okay dear just wait for me downstairs, I'll just get my phone" she said and quickly closed the door.

I ran away downstairs to check Aya.

"Just wait, my mom's going down" I said smiling to her.

I already see my mom walking down the stairs and I waved at her to see us.

"Mom, right here!" I said as I was waving at her. She waved back at me but suddenly her phone rang causing her to take that call and gave me a wait sign. Oh shoot.

"Uh Z, I think I have to go home. My mom texted me and she said were going somewhere. Is it okay if I'll just meet your mom some other time?" she asked getting ready to leave.

"Yeah sure. I mean it's okay. It looks like mom will took a minute there" I said rest assured her.

I just came with her outside while she's waiting for her car. I wanted to bring her home but she said she'll fetch by her service and then it came.

"I gotta go. See you at school Z. Thanks for today" she said waving her hands at me. Her car finally gone to my sight when my mom came to me.

"Hey I'm sorry I just needed to take that call. By the way, where's your friend?" she asked looking as if Aya was still here.

"It's okay she already went home mom. She said she'll meet you some other time" I said to her.

"Oh? Okay sweetheart." She said smiling going back inside of our house.

"Is that dad?" I asked that make her stopped for awhile.

"What?" she asked.

"The one who called earlier. Is that dad?" I asked again looking at her.

"Uh yeah. He said he wants us to talk." she said and continue heading inside.

"About what?" I asked with my intriguing look.

"I don't know. Maybe he just want to say something" she said shrugged.

"Just don't get yourself be fooled again mom. Dad can say anything towards you and there you are still wants to forgive him as if nothing's happened. Just give what dad wants and that's probably the best for us" I said giving her my exhortation.

Maybe she's gonna accept dad again. That's their cycle. Mom will forgive and accept him, dad will do shits again then repeat. If mom weren't tired yet well I'm sick of what she's doing. She's not this stupid to let herself get hurt over and over again. I already accepted the fact that our family will just part its way so mom should accept it too.

"I will sweetheart" she said giving me her reassuring look.

It's already dinner when mom went home. I was eating my meal when she just walk straight directly to her room with her hand holding a brown envelope without even looking at me. She even stumping her feet while walking upstairs. Maybe something happened between her and dad. I quickly finished my food and went upstairs to her room.

After three times knocking, she opened it.

"What happened?" I asked her straightly heading inside her room.

I saw her things scattered on the ground again. I was right. Something happened between her and dad again.

"You're dad want to get a divorce" she said while handling me the envelope she was holding earlier when she arrived. Dad finally grant my request and as I was expecting, mom didn't want this. Since she has no choice but to finally let dad go.

"Just give it to her" I said giving her back the papers.

"What?" she exclaimed.

"Are you out of your mind Zed? You want me and your dad to have this divorce? You don't want your family to just sank in" she said while pouring a glass of wine in her mouth.

"Do you think I will let him just be with his mistress and its daughter?" she continued. So my dad's other woman has a daughter? Just nice dad choosing her mistress as someone who was also obviously having an affair with his husband. What a kind of asshole he is.

"Dad's mistress has a daughter?" I asked mom making sure she was right.

"Yes and I met them earlier. Your dad wants us to talk just to get me signed this fucking paper. Does he think I would let her end up with that woman?" she said sounds mad and drank another wine again. She is insane. She practically don't want dad to choose his other woman over her. Maybe her pride couldn't take that, that's why she kept believing herself that she just want dad to suffer.

"I was the one who asked it for dad." I said referring to the divorce papers. She suddenly stopped and immediately turned to me.

"What?!" she exclaimed walking towards me.

"Why did you do that? You want me and your dad to separate? Are you insane? If that thing happens you're family will just washed away do you understand that Zed? Your dad and I cannot be separated. I still want to fix this family. I don't want you to continuously grow up without your dad on your side. Just give it to me Zed and get out of it" she said as she finally sip her last wine.

"Just give it to you then what? See how will you become wrecked again? Watch how will you get hurt again by what you were doing? Mom can't you just accept the fact that dad doesn't love you anymore? He's now happy with her mistress and they was his new family, just accept it and move on. I'm so sick of seeing you crying at the same reason for over how many years?" I said as I was pointing out the first time that dad betrayed him.

She couldn't speak and just looked at me. Maybe feeling guilty that I was right. Dad and this family will never be the same again.

"Get over it mom cause you know what? Ever since dad decided to cheat to this family, he already lost us. Me? I don't consider him as my father anymore. He's just a piece of shit who continuously getting back to you for the sake of the company and for the sake of his money. You're not that dumb for not getting my point." I said as I left her room.

It will just go on if she keeps insisting that our family will be okay soon when it's never gonna happen. I'm really tired of their shits.
