her name is Alice and she lives with her mother and her cat mira. Alice is a very sweet, smart and shy girl. she started going to school after moving to their new house along with her mother. She did not want to go to school because she was afraid of being bullied, but her mother suceeded in convincing her. She finally agree to go to school.
on her first day in school, she met a girl called talia
talia: hey girl! did you see the fight earlier?
Alice: ... uh...uhh
Alice could not say a think so she left running. She was very afraid to talk to people. Even during question and answers, when the teacher will point her, she will not say anything and her mother received a complain for that.
mother: Alice! Alice listen to me. your school gave me a complain about you
Alice: ...
mother: do you understand what i am saying?
Alice: ...
mother: please say something. what is wrong.
Alice: i did not do anything wrong * crying*
mother: Alice you have to grow now okay. you can't be acting like a child and crying over small stuffs all the time.
Alice: i said i did not do anything mum
mother: i know you did not do anything and that is the problem
Alice: ...
mother: yes! you must do something ok. Answer questions, talk to others, make friends. Don't always be appart. Be with others, have fun with friends
Alice: tell me what happened with Dad
mother: pff...we are talking about you and your character
Alice: but i want to know about my father
****
Alice parents divorced when she still very young. She thinks her mother is the cause of their separation because one day, someone called on the fixed phone, but her mum was not around so she picked the call:
her: hello who is it? mum is not around do you have any message that i could tell her?
unknown: hello dear how are you?
her: i am alright but who are you?
unknown: i am your father princess
her: fatherr!! * crying* father where are you? why are you not staying with mum and i anymore, i miss you so much. i want to see you again. it's been long father. when will you be back?
unknown: calm down princess. i did not abandon you okay? stop crying now
her: but when will you come to us?
unknown: i won't, but i will call from time to time ok
her: why not
unknown: your mum do not want me to see you
her: but why? did you do something bad?
unknown: no princess i did not. she is just not good with me
her: * crying* why is mummy doing that ? she does not like you right? okay wait father when i will grow i will come see you
unknown: okay my princess
she hanged the call
Her: * to herself* so mummy wants to seperate dad and me. why is she doing that can't she see that a child need her two parents
since that day Alice has been acting very disrespectful towards her mother and she always asked what happened to her father, but her mother did not want to reveal the truth, and Alice never mentioned about that call to her mother.
***
mother: i told you not to mention about your father didn't i?
Alice: yeah you did why? because you don't want me to have a complete family like any other girls right?
After those words alice ran and went to her room and locked herself in.
mother: * to herself* who taught this manner to this girl? i can't tell her about it yet, she is still young it will hurt her alot. I will tell her everything at the right time. For now i will have to guide her well.
the next day, Alice did not want to go to school
mother: Alice please you have to go to school, do you understand me
Alice: * ignores*
mother: i am talking to you
Alice: * ignores again*
mother: okay fine. if you don't want to go to school then don't. I will leave for work. i did your favorite meal. after bathing take breakfast okay
Alice...
mother: i am going. take care
after her mother left, Alice directly got dressed and also went out. She was walking in the streets and looking at places as if she was searching for something or someone althought she was just having a walk. Her mother came back and saw Alice next to the television. She noticed that Alice did not eat anything
mother: why didn't you eat?
Alice: i was not hungry
mother: ...
the more the days passed, the more Alice started hating her mother. she even decide not to go to school anymore
mother: how could you say that Alice?
Alice: you heard me
mother: what about your fees? you want them to go to waste
Alice: whatever
mother: Alice! you don't even care about all the efforts i make for you. i suffer everyday to have money to feed you and to send you to school...
Alice: i never asked for school. you forced me but not anymore. Infact for the past years you have been forcing me to do everything, but from now on i will do what i want
mother: * crying* why, why? other girl would never treat their mother in such a way
Alice: and other mothers would never seperate their daughter from their father
after those words she left and locked herself in her room like always.
As time passes, alice becomes more and more disrespectful, but this time not only toward her mother but even strangers.
she leave the house in the morning and come in the evening drunk. she steals her mothers money to buy hetself and her fake friends new clothes
mother: alice who took the money i left in my cupboard here last week?
alice: no idea
mother: but we are only two in this house if i did not take it this mean you...
alice: yes! so what wasn't that obvious
mother: Alice you can't go on doing things like this. If you really need money then find a job. the money i bring is not only for fun we have to eat, we need light, water and those are not for free. And i bring little so if you could find a job i am sure we will make it
Alice: if you want to make it call your husband and ask for help don't be a beggar to your daughter
and she left.
Alice continued with her bad characters. she also started stealing money from banks. her mother got angry.
mother: Alice you are going to stop all your mess do you hear me? what is all this? can't you make your life useful? look at how you create troubles everywhere and i have to pay for your damages. you must know that you are not a child anymore...
Alice: you finally realized
mother: oh yeah. i have been tolerating your nonsense for way too long but not anymore. now you will listen to me. you want to know about your father right. your father was just a good for nothing like you and i could not continue with that so we divorced
Alice: * laughing* yeah nice one why don't you divorce me too
mother: * slaps her* watch your tongue
Alice: how dare you
mother: i am your mother
Alice : mother fuck? * slap back*
after receiving the slap, her mother collapsed. she was brought to the hospital she spent a week there and Alice did not visit her even once. one evening someone rang at the door, Alice opened the door and saw a man
Alice : what do you want?
the man: are you alice?
alice: is it not obvious enough?
the man: alright! i am here to inform you that your mother passed away...
alice: what!!!!!! no... what did you just say?
the man : your mother passed away
Alice felt on her knees and shouted all of her voice. she melted in tears. after a while she stopped crying
the man: your mother had a big project for you after your studies, which you refused to cooperate, she was working morning and evening to find a post for you since you refused to go to school but you were not encouraging
Alice: * cries* but it was all her fault if she hadn't lie to me about my father nothing bad would have happened
the man: about your father, he was a friend of mine but his arrogance distroyed our friendship. he was just like you lazy , stealing money and partying with friends, and i was the one who recommended the divorce to your mother because she was suffering with that man so much
Alice: * cries loudly* mum i am so sorry i wish i believed you, i wish i had listen to you
mother: but before dying she said she wants you to take her position in the company if you can
alice: yes of course i wil
after five years, Alice became very beautiful and rich, she opened her own store with the title" mothers are blessings from heaven" she became a motivational women and she talk about respecting mothers.
the lesson in my story is that we should respect and cherish our mothers no matter what they do to us. they carry us for nine months with great pain. they are our everything. so please let's cherish, love and respect our mothers cause they will not be with us for ever
