My jaw clenched in anger at what my Mother did. I can’t bear that she will let others rape my Han just to leave me. She’s evil and it has really reached its peak. I told her that I don’t like anyone but Hershey. But my Mother is still really insistent.
I quickly marched to her room. I really can’t help but be angry about it. I love my mom but I don’t like her behavior like this.
“Mom!” I shouted when the door opened. I can’t stop raising my voice.
She quickly stepped closer to me and slapped me hard on the cheek.
I was almost deafened by the force. I touched my slapped jaw and cheek. My eyebrows were raised when I faced my mother.
“How dare you! raise your voice like that?! I didn’t make you grow this rude, Yuan!” she snarled.
I felt a great pain in my heart. Mama never slapped me by her hand and raised her voice. Even now. But what she did was more painful. She will make someone else rape the girl I love the most and I take great care of.
“I know, mom! But I didn’t grow up with a mother who was willing to stain her own hands and ruin the dignity of the woman I love the most for her own sake! Mom! How many times do I have to tell you how much I love Hershey?! Which one of it? Do you understand that?! Why don’t you just accept our love? Are we not rich enough to supply all your luxuries and greed?” I can’t stop saying harsh words because she is really exaggerating and what she did is too much.
It’s like that she’s not my mom? Mom is kind to me and gentle. She’s far more different from the cruel woman in front of me.
“How dare you say that to me?! Maybe you forget where you came from?! Don’t raise your voice at me, Yuan! I didn’t raise you to be that shameless!” she madly screamed at me. I retreated and turn my back on hers.
“If you’ll never accept our love? It’s better to just forget that you have a child..” I said decisively.
She was about to yell at me again when I turned away from her. “Yuan! Don’t turn your back me! You!” she said angrily.
Teardrops fell from my left eye. It hurts to fight your parents. But I don’t want to regret it for the rest of my life when I let go of Hershey. I’ve been hurt once and I don’t want to feel that pain anymore. Because now, I will be hurt more than before. I gave everything to her and I’m ready to gamble everything I have, just for us to stay together. I know my parents will never forgive me.
But I won’t be able to forgive myself once she’s gone and left me behind. Because I didn’t fight for our love. So I’m ready to fight for her and to the love we shared till the end. Even if I sacrifice my own life.
The next day my father rushed to my Office. He hardly uses his baston to hurt me rudely all over my body and gave me a strong blow to the face and stomach. I accepted it all. Maybe he already knows how my Mom and I fight and talk with each other.
“Terrified! How dare you say that to your mom! You have no conscience! You are a worthless son! We gave you everything. Then this is all you’re going to give back?” he shouted furiously at me. I smiled sparingly.
“Pa, mom is overdoing it.. Do you know what she did? she made Hershey suffer and be rape by someone else! What if you were in my situation? Wouldn’t you be angry?” I said to him. He stopped.
“I know, I owe everything I have to you. But, Pa. That’s your obligation as a parent. I didn’t ask for it, I didn’t want it. And another thing, the debt of gratitude is never charged. You gave it to a person voluntarily” I said to him. He didn’t say a word to what I said.
“I didn’t ask to be your child, or you to be my parents. I was born to be with you involuntarily. If you really love me and willingly to gave everything to me. You will not criticize me. You will accept my decision. That’s how the parents show their love to their children. You will support me. Honestly, I am satisfied with what I have. I am very grateful to you as a parent. But don’t let money blind you and forget that I’m not something you can control and you can earn from me. Because I love you as a parent and your child. Don’t let that thing ruin us and make us fall apart. We’re too rich. Learn to be content, don’t be greedy. Maybe the day will come when the Lord will take it all away from you. Because you are oppressing someone with a lower standard of living.” my long litany. I smiled sparingly. Smile with disappointment and sadness. I hope they realize it. Because I don’t want them to be like others, who forget because of the greed for money.
“True love cannot be bought, Papa. You have once been submissive to your parents. In exchange for your true love. Don’t let me experience it, even me, your son, follow in your footsteps. I want to be free.” I added.
He didn’t say a word and quickly turned away. I hope you can accept us. Because I don’t want the day to come when we are apart just because you and mom object.
I said while looking at his back.
I sat on the swivel chair while touching the parts of my body that were hit by the cane.. It’s a pain for me. It’s like I’m not their child when he beat me. It irritates me!
“Cousin!” Julia called after entering my Office. I immediately looked up at her.
“Why are you here?” I wondered.
“Your mama did something to Hershey’s father, she forbade all Dialysis Centers and Hospitals to accept him for his Therapy!” Julia said exaggeratedly. I felt like my blood rose to my head upon hearing her.
“What?”
I can’t believe Mama could do that. I need to talk to my father about it. Does my mother won’t stop?
