THE FORGOTTEN MOTHER'S

ASK KELLY FOR AN EXPLANATION

By dusk, Kelly was still struggling with her work. He has to finish the job right now. Because tomorrow he has to finish the final chapter of his thesis.

"Follow me.."

Dominic pulls Kelly's hand.

Of course Kelly was shocked. "I have to finish this job" he said.

"Leaveit! There are many others who can do your duty" Dominic commanded decisively. "You're ignoring me too much, Kelly. Come with me now!".

Dominic pulls pretty hard on Kelly's hand. Even the man did not care how many pairs of eyes saw his treatment of Kelly that way.

While in a special parking lot on the same floor Dominic still pulled Kelly's hand.

"Give me the keys to my car", Dominic orders the man he used to be the driver of.

Quickly the man gave the car keys to his boss.

While in the car no one started talking, Kelly just stared out the car window.

"Why don't you heed me. How many times have I asked you into my room" Dominic said.

I heard Kelly breathing. "I'm busy, I have to finish my work today because tomorrow I have to finish the last chapter thesis" Kelly replied. He looks lethargic.

"What's your relationship with Diane?"

"You can ask him directly. You guys are familiar", Kelly replied looking uninspired.

Dominic rubbed his chin. He turned his head to look at Kelly. "I want to hear it from you.

Not anyone else".

"Your mother you consider someone else? And...the woman who is very familiar to you even hugs you feelingly that you consider others too?"

"Hey hey..didn't you see me resisting Diane hugging me earlier? Don't be such a kid, Kelly".

"Little boy?"

"Yes. Little kid. You're like a little kid when you're in trouble" Dominic said.

Kelly breathed her breath again.

"What is your relationship with Diane, why did she say you were the one who wanted to ruin her parents' marriage?"

"What's the matter exactly?"

Dominic pulled the car over. "Tell me the truth. I don't want anything stuck in your heart that I don't know" Dominic said firmly.

Kelly turned her attention out the window. "Diane is the daughter of the woman who is currently my father's wife..."

"For God's sake, I hate having to remember everything. I hate having to tell you everything" Kelly said in a trembling voice holding back her cries.

Dominic changed his seat. He turned his body to face Kelly. Dominic frowned. Just got Kelly's confession.

Dominic's fingers clasped Kelly's fingers tightly. "Tell me everything. You can't bear the pain alone, Kelly. Share it with me", he said gently giving his lover peace.

"They all made my life suffer from Domi. Papa left my mom and I because of Lory. At the time of the separation, papa had promised to remain responsible to me but accompanied the time of the promise stay the promise. Papa forgot to have a child, he was happy with his new family while mom was endlessly checking the mailbox waiting for the alimony fee that papa had promised me. Until my mother died in pain, papa did not see him even he did not come to see me even if only to calm me for a moment".

The clear circles finally fell down also touching that plain face.

Dominic's still clutching Kelly's fingers. He listened to all the stories of his lover while thinking.

"Two weeks away from my mom, I was desperate to meet my dad at his mansion and his new family in Vancouver. My hope with me is to meet his open papa heart. I didn't demand that he take care of me. I understood that I was seventeen years old".

"First papa received my arrival warmly. He even hugged me. For a moment it made my grieving heart feel calm. But. It turns out that when Lory found out my arrival made the woman angry. He and Diane chased me away and insulted me with hurtful rantings".

"Papa just kept quiet with their treatment of me. And I decided to leave their home in a broken heart. I cried when I was outside that house. Papa caught up with me. I think papa came to apologize for the treatment of Lory and her daughter. I thought it would calm my feelings. But I was actually wrong. Papa gave me a check and asked me not to see him again. He emphasized that the check he gave was for his last to me", Kelly said as she wiped her tears that kept flowing.

"I don't want to take that check. From that moment I knew that my mother was so depressed that she was depressed. Before I go, I tell papa.

“Papa don't worry, I'll never interrupt your perfect life with Lory and Diane. From today on you have no place in my heart. We don't have any relationship anymore. I hate you...hate you so much!!”.

"That day I also set my heart on continuing school by working part-time. I sold my mother's house, and decided to pursue my goals in this city. I am determined that my ideals be achieved with my own efforts. I was determined to be successful even though my famous lawyer Papa didn't think I was in his life"

"I hope that someday I will fight that man in the courtroom. That's one of my goals in law" Kelly said firmly.

Kelly looked at Dominic with a sad face.

"I didn't know that you and Diane knew very well. He was also very close to your mother. Now I have to how is Dominic...?"
