“Stop crying, Baby,” my mom told me while she’s smoking.
I sniffed before I wiped away the tears. “Why are you like that. You don’t seem to care about me, Mommy. ”
We were in our own house so it was okay for us to talk about anything. I stood up and grabbed cookies before slumping down on the couch again. Gosh! I feel so sticky because of what happened earlier. But honestly, I was scared before because I thought Tranz was going to kill me. Gosh! Why is he so sadistic?
Mommy raised the glass of whiskey she was holding and offered it to me but I just frowned again.
“Duh? Seriously, Mom? I am pregnant, okay? ” She rolled her eyes and laugh sarcastically.
“Biatch,” she said then laughed.
“Oh come on, Mom. Whose side are you really on? Hello, I am your daughter, okay? ”
“Yeah, that’s right. You are my child so I know when you lie and when you’re telling the truth. ”
I almost ran out of blood because of what she told me. “Oh my gosh, Mom, do you know that I am not preggy? Oh my gosh! How did you know ?! ”
I stood up and snatched the glass of whiskey from her hand and drink the whiskey. I felt tension in my body for thinking that they know everything, especially Tranz! Oh my gosh! My effort was wasted!
“Stop overreacting, Sweetheart. The father and son probably don’t know your lies. ”
“But how did you know?”
“Have you forgotten that you’re my daughter so even when you were still in my womb I knew you were a liar. But you’re a bad liar back there, Lele. ”
I poured whiskey on the glass. “How did you know that? I am a good actress, Mom, that’s why I receive so many awards, eh. So it’s easy for me to lie, isn’t it? ”
“I don’t really know where you inherited your stupidity, Honey, eh. Your father is a smart evem though he’s just a construction worker. Take a look, and if it wasn’t for his plan, we wouldn’t be able to enter the lives of the Fernandez' ”
“Eh, maybe I inherited my stupidity from you, Mommy? You know, hereditary? ” I even laughed because of what I said. “But seriously, how did you know that?”
“If you weren’t stupid, eh. You said you were pregnant and then you said that Tranz barren is barren. ”
I patted my forehead when I realized that. “Yeah, But they don’t seem to notice that, ‘do they?”
“I don’t know. But I hope that the father and son didn’t notice that. So, is it true that Tranz is barren ... ”
I didn’t answer but I just smiled. Gosh, I love this day.
“What should I do next, Mom? How about you? What’s your plan? ”
“Nothing. I’ll just put an act in front of your uncle because I love you. That old geezer will immediately believe me. So, what are your plans? ” she looked at my stomach. “how can you convince Tranz that you are pregnant if your belly does not grow?? And where did you get those laboratories and ultrasound result? ”
“I have a doctor friend, okay?”
“You mean fuck buddy?”
“Oh my gosh, Mom? Stop that, okay? But it seems like that. That’s also where I get Tranz' test about that barren-thingy, eh. Gosh! Why I am so witty! ”
“Cunning is the right word to describe to you, dear.”
Mommy stood up but was stunned so I looked at her face. It even surpassed the drinker of a bottle of vinegar because of her pallor skin so I looked to the side she was looking at.
This can’t be happening!
“why are you here, L-Love?” Even I couldn’t quite understand what Mommy was saying because of her voice's vibration.
Tito Yvo did not answer but looking at him now I know the answer. He did hear everything!
“I w-will explain everything to you, L-Lov—” But Mommy didn’t finish what she was going to say because Tito turned around angrily and hurried away.
Mommy was obviously surprised so I held her hand. “Oh my gosh, Mom, w-what should w-we do? !! I can’t lose Tranz, Mom! ” I shouted but she still didn’t move. I'm afraid that Tito Yvo might tell Tranz, and Tranz would find out the truth so I get the bottle of whiskey and left the room.
“T-Tito Yvo!” I called out to him so he turned to me. He was already on the stairs but hadn’t gone far yet.
“I will not let this pass, Lele. My son needs to know the truth— ”
Because of what he said, my eyesight went dark and I didn’t mind throwing the bottle I was holding at him. He was hit in the head so Tito was out of balance and continued to roll down.
“W-what h-have you done, Lele?”
Only then did I wake up because of Mommy’s question. When I looked at my hand it was shaking. I felt my head suddenly grow and my hair stood up. The speed of my heartbeat as if it wanted to get out of my ribcage.
I was just stunned as I stared at my hand until Mommy approached me. My eyes widened as I looked at her but not a word came out of my mouth.
“P-pull y-yourself together, Lele! Lele! ”
I could hear Mommy’s voice but due to the extreme stupor I had nothing to say. A loud slap landed on my cheek so I woke up. I cried and hugged het.
“M-m-mommm ... I-I don’t want to be locked up ... I-I did that because I-I love Tranz. I know t-that you u-understand me, right, Mom? I don’t want to be locked up, Mom. It will ruin my c-career and I will lose T-Tranz. I don’t want that to happen because I will die. ”
Mommy rubbed my face. She is crying too. But I can see in her face the how much she loves me. That she’s telling me that I am going to be okay.
“Y-you can’t go to j-jail, Baby, okay? I promise you that. ”
“B-but how about T-Tito Yvo? I-I think I killed him ... ”
“S-stay h-here, okay?”
I grabbed her arm and almost clung to her. “D-don’t leave m-me here, Mom. I-I’m scared ... ”
“I’ll check Yvo d-downstair, okay?”
“What if he is still alive? I’m going to lose Tranz, Mom! I do not want that! I don’t want to lose Tranz! I will kill myself If I lose him! ” I even glared at her.
“I will not allow that. Just fucking stay here! ” she shouted before finally coming down.
My eyes were looking around because my mind is telling me that someone saw what I did. I ran to the window and looked outside. I felt that at any moment the police would come to arrest me so I ran downstairs.
I caught Mommy looking at Tito Yvo’s cell phone.
“I-is he dead?” I asked even the truth screamed in front of me. Her eyes widened as she nodded. “W-what the f-fuck is he doing h-here at t-this hour, Mom? !! It’s past e-eleven! ” I bit my nail. “B-maybe, maybe he knows my s-secret, Mom. M-maybe T-Tito already knows that I’m not p-pregnant! ”
Mom stood up. “Does it matter? Yvo is dead, Honey. You can calm down now ... ”I don’t know why Mommy is calm now unlike a while ago. But I could still see a little horror on her face.
“How can I calm down, M-mom ?! I accidentally k-killed him! I don’t want to go to jail! ”
“You won’t be imprisoned, Honey, because Yvo didn’t come here so you didn’t kill him.”
“W-what do y-you mean, Mom?”
Instead of answering me s showed me Tito Yvo’s cell phone. I read the text.
“I need to talk to you about some things, Tito. I am coming to your house ... ”I read the text from Mina.
“Your Uncle Yvo died at his house ...” Mommy promised.
