THE FORGOTTEN MOTHER'S

TURN UP THE VEIL

"They're killers!"

"Amanda and Connors are so evil. Because they're both my sister Brenda's dead".

Laura's confession alone made Austin stunned. "What happened to Laura? Tell me everything" asked Austin.

"I'm going home now, Austin. I will never leave Qiana alone again. My son is not safe now. They know I'm in town. Connors will definitely find out about my life" Laura said in tears.

"Well, I'll take you home now" replied Austin. Yet many questions raged in his head that were unanswered.

Some time the car in Austin drove at a moderate speed in the dark of night. I can't stop sounding Laura. Upon arriving in front of the city park, Austin stopped his car. Right in front of the lake that looks there are still many visitors at night.

"I want to go home" said Laura.

"I wouldn't drive you home if you were still screwed up Laura said. What are you going to tell Qiana when she asks why are you crying like this. Do you want your son to see you now?"

Laura began to shed her tears at Austin's words.

"What exactly is Laura? What have they done to you and your sister?"

Slowly Laura raised her downcast face looking at Austin with a reddened and swollen netra. "They're your family, right?"

"There's my father's wife, Laura", Austin answered honestly.

"I told you yesterday what my relationship was with my father's wife, do you remember?"

"Because of that woman I parted with my papa. Connors is Amanda's son. The man had nothing to do with me and Kimberly" Austin said, leaning his head against the back of the car seat.

Laura listened to Austin's explanation. Da... Austin was right, yesterday he told me his very sad past. Laura just found out that truth now that the woman who's made Austin's life miserable is Amanda. "J-so you really have nothing to do with them?", asked Laura as she wiped her tears.

"Yes. As you know, I hate both. So trust me Laura, tell me all now" Austin said. Her fingers wiped the tears that still flooded Laura's pretty face. The woman looks fragile. Austin pulled Laura by the shoulder and hugged her.

Laura is back sobbing in Austin. Really at this time he needed a place to rest it. drops of clear circles wet Austin's shirt.

"Shed your sorrow on me. Share with me Laura" said Austin quietly as he rubbed her back.

A while later, Laura's feelings were a little calmer. He raised his face looking at Austin who was also looking at him with a shady look.

Slowly Laura leaned her back on the chair and looked straight ahead.

"A few years ago when I was in college, Connors liked me and expressed his love for me. But I refused, because I never liked it. But .. the man forced his will so much, he made my life disturbed. He wanted me, and I refused many times".

"It turns out that my rejection made him revenge, until he trapped my sister Brenda who was still in high school into his trap. Connors seduces Brenda with sweet words full of lies".

When they were in a relationship I was continuing my scholarship studies in California. So that I don't know the relationship. Brenda herself covered everything from me" said Laura softly.

"When I came back, I was shocked by Brenda's two-bodied condition. While my father at that time his condition dropped due to illness and thinking about Brenda's condition".

"When I pressed, then Brenda admitted all this time in a relationship with Connors. According to Brenda the man did not want to admit the child in Brenda's birth was his child".

"My sadness and my sister didn't get there. When I returned home, my father was already lifeless", Isak Laura remembered everything.

Austin immediately clasped Laura's hand tightly giving her strength.

"After my father's departure, in search of peace of life for Brenda and her unborn child, I decided to move from Toronto to Niagara-on-the-Lake. Avoiding reuniting with Connors and his family. Of course Brenda was very happy at the time. He said that at any time he would keep the baby he contains".

"My sadness continues. When Brenda was born, doctors said my sister suddenly developed high blood pressure due to excessive stress, causing pre-eclampsia to trigger complications"

"I was so panicked and sad. Before Brenda closed her eyes for ever she left her daughter to me, to take care of me and I take care of her. Brenda advised not to let Connors and his family know about his daughter" Laura said back sobbing recalling all the bitter memories of the past.

"Amanda and Connors did not draw their swords directly to kill my sister, but their actions intimidated Brenda since Brenda became pregnant. Even in her early pregnancy Brenda endured the pain alone, without me by her side" Laura said sobbing.

Austin digested all of Laura's stories. "Is Qiana the daughter of your sister Brenda, Laura?"

Still sobbing, Laura looked at Austin and slowly nodded her head. "Yes. Qiana Brenda's daughter I've been caring for since infancy. When she was born I acted like a mother to Qiana. Until she grew up, I taught her to call me mommy" Laura said in a trembling voice holding back the pain.

"Yang Qiana knew I was the woman who gave birth to her. Even I had to lie to that little innocent girl, when she asked where her father was. I told you his father was already in heaven".

Austin looked at Laura. "I'm so impressed with you Laura. Qiana is so lucky to have a mother like you. The little girl would not lack affection, even without a father figure".

Austin wiped Laura's tears with his fingers. "You can count on me Laura, if you and Qiana need me" Austin said sincerely.

Laura looked at Austin's bead. He could see the sincerity there. "Thank Austin. I know Qiana really likes you, and she never even did that to any of my male friends".

"Do you have a special man now?", asked Austin as he stared fixedly at Laura's face.

Laura returned also the gaze within the man. The two netra were exploring each other's feelings.

I don't know who started it, until the two kissed affectionately with hunting and roaring breath. Maybe get carried away by Laura returning Austin a warm kiss.

The heat flow ran through Laura's entire body. For a very long time he had not felt deep feelings and came into contact with men.

Austin and Laura kissed for a long time, until Laura woke up. The girl removed her lips first. Both are friendly.

"Laura..."

Austin's voice sounded hoarse and heavy. While her fingers rubbed gently on Laura's face.

Laura immediately leaned her head on the chair and looked forward. "I have to go home now".

"Yes. I'll take you home now".

All the way, no one spoke. Both of them were silent not flinching with their respective minds. Laura turned her attention out the window. While Austin looked straight ahead with his left hand fingers rubbing his nape.
