1000 Season Chasing Stars
CHAPTER 35
Mama knew Laura had already managed to deduce it herself.
“Yes. You were born when mama parted with your papa.”
“Why did mom part with him?” Laura wants to know.
“Because she doesn't love mama.” Mama remembers sad.
“You certainly know what it's like to love someone who doesn't love you.” Laura nodded. He knows very well what it feels like.
“Mama married Charles a year after Anna's death, his wife,” mama began to explain. “Before, mom was Luki's nanny. After the death of his wife, Charles tried to give all his affection to Luki, his baby with Anna. This made Mama and Charles close. Charles saw how much mama loved Luki and argued at the young age of Luki at that time, about six years, Luki should have a mother again. Charles chose his mother. At first she refused, but over time she became interested in Charles, and eventually loved him. Mama knew Charles never stopped loving his wife. So we agreed to marry only so that Luki could get the affection of a mother that she would never feel again from her birth mother.”
“After that what happened?” Laura looked at my mother curiously.
“Luki does not want to accept mom to be her new mother.” She looked at Laura with sadness. “Luki says mom can't replace her mom. Mama knows that. But. mama really loves Luki. Luki didn't want to accept the slightest explanation from mama.
“One day Luki ran away from home. Charles and Mama were really panicking. After a night of searching for her, a woman found her lying unconscious on the side of the road. Mama tried to take care of Luki, but Luki looked at her coldly. She said she would be happy if she wasn't there. At that moment, Luki's gaze had already changed. The innocent look of a child in his eyes was gone. Luki really hates mama because mama has married her father. He also said he would continue to run away from home.
“Charles tried to persuade Luki, even scolding her, but Luki instead scolded her papa because her papa had betrayed her mother. The next day, Mama asked Luki what she had to do to stop doing this silly thing.
Luki gave mama two choices. Mom goes or she goes. But Luki's future is definitely ruined. Mama didn't want Charles to have to choose between mama and her son. So my mom decided to leave him. She signed the divorce papers and asked Charles not to look for her. After all, you know Charles never loved you. Being with someone who doesn't love you isn't something you can hold for the rest of your life. But, mama did not expect at that time mama was pregnant with you.”
“Mama never contacted Charles after I was born?” Laura looked at the sad mother.
Mama shook her head. “Sorry, dear. Mama's afraid that if Charles finds out you're his daughter, he'll take you from mama. Mama can't lose you. Mama knows mama is selfish, but mama can survive because of you.”
Laura hugged the mother who started crying. “It's okay ma. I don't care if Charles Rafael is my father. I will still choose to be beside my mom until anytime.”
Mom hugged her daughter while crying. Laura touched my mother's back slowly. Laura then thought, (“if I'm Charles Rafael's daughter, meaning Luki's my half-sister”). Laura nodded slowly. As a child, Laura once dreamed of having a brother, but Luki was far from her expectations.
Two hours later, someone knocked on Laura's door. Laura opened the door and saw Charles Rafael standing in front of her. Laura looked at the man before her with a different look.
“Laura,” says Charles slowly. “Can I meet your mother?”
“Mama has told me everything,” Laura said frankly. “It is better to go home. Mama's not ready to talk to Om right now. “Laura has just accompanied mama rest an hour before.”
“You really are the daughter of Helen.” Charles looked at Laura closely. “I should have thought. You really look like him.”
Laura came out and closed the door of her house slowly. She didn't want my mom to wake up. “I'm also your daughter.” Laura decided to be straightforward.
“I know.” Charles Rafael looked at Laura with his bright eyes. “I've had one of my legal teams search for information about you and your mama. You were born eight months after your mama left me.”
Laura knew rich people could get information about anyone quickly. “It's best to just go. Om can talk to mama if mama is ready.”
“I searched your mama everywhere.” Charles Raphael refused to leave. “Bekas his boss, his agency, his friends. But no one knows where your mama went. Your mama disappeared without a trace.”
Charles Rafael looked at Laura sadly. “I love Anna my wife. But Anna is gone. I didn't love your mom at first, but after Helen left me, I just realized that I love her and miss her.”
Laura was a little surprised by Charles' confession. His words really sound sincere. He's telling the truth. “But, mom says she signed divorce papers.”
“I never signed the letter,” said Charles honestly. “Your mother is still my wife. I really want to see him. I'm telling you the truth, Laura. Please believe me.”
“Tomorrow,” says Laura slowly. “Om can see him tomorrow morning. Mom is currently on break.”
Charles Rafael raised his hand to touch his daughter, but it didn't. “Can you call me papa?”
“I will call om with the name papa, if mama can already receive om back. Good night, om.”
Charles Rafael smiled. “I won't give up, Laura.”
The next morning, Charles Rafael knocks on Laura's door. Laura let in. Mom sat in the living room chair. “You two need to talk.” Laura took her jacket and went out of the house.
“Helen...,”ucap Charles slowly.
Mom took a slow breath. “Charles..”.
“I think Laura told you what I said last night?” Charles looked at Helen gently.
“Ya,”answer Helen. He thought about his memories with Charles many years ago, and concluded that until now he still loved Charles.
“I love you Helen,” says Charles slowly. “Trust me. I've been trying to find you all this time.”
“Sorry.” Helen trembled to see the man she still loved to this day.
“It's okay. I've found you now.” Charles smiled. “Will you and Laura stay with me?”
Helen shakes. “I can't do it if Luki doesn't agree.”
Charles was upset. “You don't need to think about Luki's opinion. He's an adult now. If he doesn't like my decision, it's his business.”
“I want Luki to accept me,” said Helen slowly.
“The boy was really stubborn,” Charles complained. “He hates you even more than twenty years. If we have to wait for his approval, we will not be able to unite.”
