45 - Mom

Zyd ate first at Country’s Coffee Shop and bought coffee before he returned to the Hospital. He was in the elevator with his ex – girlfriend Kate. It immediately clung to his arm but he quickly removed it. Only then did he notice her wearing this ring. He quickly took her hand and looked at her sternly. He frowned and looked at the woman badly.

"Where the fuck does you get this?"

It winced in pain from his grasp. “You’re hurting me!”

His gaze deepened on it and tightened his grip on Kate's hand even more. “Where ?!”

"From Lianne!" She pulled her hand away and quickly hid behind it, "She gave me this, saying I deserve this ring since you bought it for me."

Damn! He refrained from getting angry. He calmed himself and looked at the woman without emotion, "Give me that."

"No!" It backed away and gave him a distance. “It’s mine! You bought this for me so I’m the real owner of it.”

"None of any ring deserves you, Kate."

The door opened and he walked ahead as kate was left inside the elevator unscathed. He looked at the cellphone and Hudson sent him something 10 minutes ago. It's an app and location of a person with a picture along with a place.

‘You’re stupid sometimes so there’s a picture attached for you to see. Don’t be blinded by fake people surrounded you. Good luck, dude.”

He looked at the place where it was sent, it was about two hours away and when he went there, the two of them might deviate but fuck! Bahala na. They need to talk two. It doesn’t mean he’s going to be the woman, he believes in Kate. She once trusted her ex, so to believe everything it says is not in his vocabulary.

Wait ‘em, Elhouette. We will talk.

Zyd was stunned to see Elhouette full of confidence facing the camera. She was smiling and super cute wearing an off-shoulder white dress and had a product being promoted as the camera rotated. It was as if he had seen the goddess of those moments so he could hardly take his eyes off her innocent face. The make -up matched her beautiful face and she couldn't help but admire her wife— fuck!

He was just standing in the distance while wearing a cap so that no one would notice him too much. He looked at the wearing clock, he was waiting for them to finish. No Gustavvson saw him.

“Wait, is that Captain McCluskey ?!”

He stood up properly when some of the staff at the resort looked at him. Some of them are thrilled and thrilled. Damn! He adjusted the cap he was wearing and almost covered his face but they started approaching him and got into a commotion.

“Captain! Can we have a picture, please?”

“Me too!”

"A hug from me!"

Fuck. Even though he didn't want public attention, he could do nothing. This is his chosen career. He just smiled at them even though that was not his purpose. The women quarreled and approached him at the same time. They each hug and scramble to take a picture with him. She looked at Elhouette, she noticed it was looking at her and it was also done with the photo shoot.

He immediately broke away from his fans and quickly approached the woman. "Wife."

Her eyebrows rose and she looked even more beautiful up closely. It would have cursed him when he remembered they were in public and everyone was looking at them. He was forced to smile sweetly but he could clearly see that his eyes were bright. He nodded and looked at it seriously as he waited for Elhouette to do something.

"B-baby!" She was forced to hug him and kiss him on the cheek. “What are you doing here? And you really followed me here, huh? You are cruel, Zyd!” he was still smiling but she was about to bury him in the pit with the blade of the look given to him.

"Come with me."

The mixture of her face changed as she looked at him and briefly looked around. Everyone was looking at them and someone was even taking pictures. There is other obvious thrill there was another whispering and not liking Elhouette for him.

"If I don't?"

"I will force on carrying you and kiss."

"Are you crazy?! I have a shoot and I can't leave.”

He grinned. “Now, you choose. You will come with me or I will kiss you.”

"Bwesit ka!"

She smiled. It means, yes. He immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her away from that area. Its fellow co-models and the manager just stared. Her good wife did nothing when he pulled her away and put her in his car.

“What do you want to happen, Zyd? You do not understand? I want a divorce! I don’t want to have anything to do with you—”

"Will you please cut the fuck off, Elhouette!" he interrupted what it said. “You wanted a divorce? Okay, let’s get to that thing. But now, my Mom badly wants to see you so please, shut the fuck off. I promised her.”

"You're the one who promised, not me."

He was stunned. He did not immediately answer the word she threw away. He looked down the road and sighed. "What happened to us?"

Lianne laughed at his question and was full of sarcasm, “What happened? Really? You're asking that, Zyd? Why won’t you fucking ask yourself then?”.

"Asked myself?" he laughed and began to start the car engine. Even he, he did not know the reason. He just made a mistake in the part where he shouted it at the Hospital because when she brought flowers.

But then, he apologized when she fell asleep and kissed her. He was guilty and he knew it was wrong to shout it out. In that part, he knew he had hurt her. He lost time with Elhouette, he lost time for them, he was getting drunk with Kodi and other members of the hockey team. When he got drunk, he didn't know what happened next.

"This is the last time we're together, Zyd. Don't disturb me anymore. I’m happy where I am now, ‘don’t bother anymore.”

His grip on the steering wheel tightened. He did not answer, his attention remained focused on the road.

They arrived at the Hospital. It was late at night but he would later invite her to eat after they visited his mother. They went straight to the room and when her Mommy saw Elhouette, she suddenly burst into tears and hugged the woman.

He was just next to her while leaning behind it struggling to get up.

"Y-you're finally here ..."

Lianne felt sorry for Mrs. McCluskey. It was as if her heart was pounding in its current state of being so thin and weak. She was a kind mother -in -law even though she did not get along with her daughter. Whenever they met it before, she was very caring. She also considered her a child so to see her barely able to get up, made her very sad.

She held out her hand and restrained herself ‘don’t cry in front of her. She suddenly felt guilty conscience to think, Mrs. McCluskey was always looking for her.

"Ma'am ..."

"C-call me ... Mommy ..."

She nodded slowly and smiled. Zyd said goodbye and he came out while they were alone with Mrs. McCluskey inside the private room. She immediately apologized to the kind Lady and she just smiled. It reached for her ring.

“T-the 4rth generation of family heirloom engagement ring ... I ... I like you so much, dear ... Take it ...”

She tearfully accepted it and could not stop crying at its hand. Why does she feel, saying goodbye? I hope not. Even though she’s not her real mother, she’s hurt.

"Promise me ... You will love him ..."

How can she say that they are not together and that she is not really Zyd's life time wife? How do you say everything? Even though she wanted to open her mouth, she couldn’t say any word.

"I'm tired, Lianne ..."

“No ... Don’t say that, please?” she cried pleadingly. Her grip on her hand tightened.

She smiled and wiped away her tears without noticing them falling, "Zyd loves you ..." she said softly.

She was startled and could not speak. Zyd loves her? Impossible. He hasn’t yet moved on from its long relationship with Kate, that’s the truth. She smiled bitterly. If she tells Mrs. McCluskey what she saw, will she still say her son loves her? How can she match her son’s several years of relationship with Kate with the few months of her relationship with Zyd? If only based on memories, no, she loses. What is she get in a few months in a few years? Nothing.

“A-all you need ... Is ... Widen your patience. She loves me so much and seeing me like this broke his heart ... Zyd is like a shell ...” she stopped for a moment and stroked her hair and cheeks, “And as his Mom, it hurts me as well ... So dear, take good care of him, okay? Love him like how I love my son.”

She bit her lip very hard and nodded softly. Tears welled up in her eyes. Whatever she stopped, it came out and she kept crying in its hand. Why are there too much pain? She could not understand what was that cry for. She just let herself cry and cry as it stroked her hair. It hurts her to think of it as saying goodbye.

TWO weeks after they talked emotionally with Mrs. McCluskey, the strength is slowly returning and somehow, its color is returning. She visits every day and makes her smile. Unless Kate is there and is demonized so she is forced to leave so that they don't fight in front of the Lady.
