A happy start ends with a sad ending

Woke up many times tonight, maybe because I was so excited. Waiting for her to come since she said we're going to meet today.

"Oof this outfit looks bad too!" I grumbled.

"What should I wear now?" I added desperately.

I looked at the clock as one of the servants knocked on the door.

"Come in" I said while trying to find a good outfit.

"Good morning sir, Breakfast is ready" She said.

"Okay, you can leave now" I replied without looking at her.

She left and I waited a couple of minutes to head to the dining room.

"Morning mother!" I said while smiling.

"Where have you been? You're late." She asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice that I was late." I replied.

I forgot to mention that we have a specific time for every single meal, and it's a must to keep time. I think it's a silly thing but that's a rule I have to keep.

"It's ok! But act responsible next time" Mom said.

I nodded.

"When is she coming?" Mom asked.

"Maybe after some hours." I answered.

"Then it won't be a problem if I leave." She commented.

"Yea, where are you going?." I asked.

"Since when do you ask me about my work?" Mom replied ridiculously.

"I'll arrive before her, so chill." She added.

She stood up and left the dining room.

I sighed and kept eating.

I zoned out again and I literally can't get her out of my mind. How would I stop thinking of her when she made me rethink my decision? Anyways, I still have to get myself all dressed up.

I hurried to the room and put on the best outfit I have.

Hours have passed and both mom and Kate haven't arrived yet when all I did was check if I got any messages from Kate from time to time.

"UGH why do I keep checking when I know this is impossible, that's ridiculous!" I said and then I sighed.

Minutes later I had a call from mom, so I answered quickly when suddenly a stranger said "Hi sir!"

"Hey?" I said confusingly.

"Who are you? Why are you using my mom's phone? Where is she?" I added many questions in a row.

"Uhm I'm Doctor Smith, uh actually your mom had an accident and she called your name many times, so we had the right to call you" He said.

I was in shock that I stayed silent.

"Hello?" Doctor Smith said.

"W- w- which hospital is she in?" I asked.

He answered me and I rushed to see her.

When I arrived and asked them to take me to her. She was in a room that I couldn't get in, I could only see her through the window. She was breathing through the breathing machine, how would that strong unbreakable woman turn to be in this condition.

I couldn't stop my tears from falling down, even though I know that mom hates seeing me like this.

That night was so hard for me, I also hadn't seen Kate that day. To be honest I didn't worry about not meeting Kate that day, I mean she will probably understand the situation I was in.

A few days later mom woke up but her condition was still not stable. Mom asked to meet me as the doctor rejected but she insisted and convinced him.

"MOM!!!" I said desperately as I rushed to hug her.

"Noah!" she said in a low voice.

"Are you ok? You're getting better, right? Promise me you will get better!" I asked many questions in a row but she didn't answer these questions.

"Noah, I have something to tell you…" Mom said coldly while tearing up.

"You always asked me about your father but I always made up excuses to skip ans-" She said as I interpreted.

"No mom, we can talk about that later." I said.

"Noah, I have no time so-" Mother said.

"MOM PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT!" I said while sobbing.

"Can you stop interrupting for now?" She said trying to comfort me that she's still that woman we all know.

"I'm getting direct into it so uhm it's Carl." Mom said.

"Wait what? I replied with signs of surprise on my face.

"A- A- Are you saying now that your biggest enemy is my biological dad? That's insulting!" I added trying to convince myself that this is a lie.

" Noah, this ain't a lie!" Mom said.

"He's your dad whether you want it or not, you can't deny the truth." Mom added.

"I don't care." I replied.

"He doesn't know tha-" Mom said.

"Noah, we can't leave you here." Doctor interrupted..

"It's not good for Madame Amantha so-" Doctor added.

"I get it." I said, leaning to peck mother.

"Wait, we're not done yet!" Mom said.

"You have to rest mom." I said.

"Goodbye mother, get well soon soon" I said and pecked her.

I left the hospital just to go and rest, I haven't slept well since mom entered the hospital.

On the way back home I was wondering how the heck would Carl be my dad? Carl is the biggest enemy to mom, well I don't know much about him. All I knew was that both mom and Carl wished the worst for each other for some mysterious reasons.

How would I react to this? What should I do? I don't know the answer to these questions.

As I entered the house I asked the servant if Kate had come but she said "No sir, nobody came today too."

So I went straight to my room and I wasn't expecting I would find Kate in my room.

"Kate?" I said.

"Oh, welcome!" She said as she rushed to hug me.

Not going to lie, I really needed her to hug me so I hugged her back.

"You ok?" Kate asked.

"No, not really." I replied.

"I knew who my father is" I added.

"I know you will make the right decision about Mister Carl" She said.

"H- H-How did you know? I asked as I stepped back.

"I got to go, I will tell you later" She said while smiling.

"You will go nowhere before you explain" I said while locking the door of my room…
