Chapter 4 Hometown

[Kath's POV]

I went home after that party. Daphne is examining me from head to toe.

"So, how's your dance with Mr. President?" she asked in an amusement manner.

My best friend really loves to intrigue my life.

"Come on, Kath! Speak up"

"What am I gonna tell you? Nothing happened"

"You always say nothing happened. You didn't tell me anything about the guys you are dating" she retorted.

"I'm hungry and exhausted, Dap. I want to eat something" and I tried to dodge her questions.

I went to the kitchen and made a salad. She was also hungry and ate the salad that I made.

I remembered that I'm going home tomorrow because I asked for leave at work. Mom said that she misses me a lot.

"The salad is so delicious" Daphne said happily.

My bestfriend acts like a child. Our personalities are different from each other but we are compatible.

"Daphne, I will not be here tomorrow. I'm going to my hometown"

"Okay. No problem. Take care" she said and went to her room.

I took a bath first before I went to bed. I tried to fall asleep by reading a novel. I read "My Boyfriend is a Crossdresser" and tried to fall asleep after I finish reading it.

However, I can't sleep. I remembered CK and how I stepped on his shiny shoes. I felt guilty because some of my stepped were intentional. And then, I met his uncle. Why is he doing that?

I woke up early with a big circles in my eyelids. I look like a panda because I wasn't able to sleep well.

I despise CK so much for being a playboy. Why the hell am I thinking about him? I messed my hair in irritation.

Don't tell me, I'm falling for him? No way in hell! Relax Kath, he'll just hurt me. CK is a casanova, he will just play with my feelings.

I shook my head in disagreement. Mr. President is a cold as ice. He doesn't care about me. He just want to take my innocent and leave me.

I started to fix myself because I'll visit my mom. I rode a bus because it would take 5 hours to be there.

I used that spare time to write my novel. Being an author was never been easy because you always think about how are you going to catch the attention of readers.

I sigh deeply as I remembered my deadline. This is really a tough job. I was able to finish 3 chapters in a row.

I'm really exhausted finishing this book. I got up because I already arrived at my destination.

I rode a taxi in order to get home. My mom is already waiting at me in front of the gate.

She looks si happy when my mom saw me. I gave her a hug. I miss my mom.

"How are you?" She asked.

"I'm doing great mom"

"How about your work? Is your boss making your life difficult?"

I shook my head.

I don't want my mom to get worried once, she found out that my boss is a molester.

He is a sexual harasser, Mr. President kissed me forcedly.

"How about you? How are you mom?" I asked.

Mom didn't say anything. I think she has a problem. Perhaps, it's hard for her to tell me what's bothering her.

I just silently entered our home. It's still the same as usual. It's good to be home and I smiled.

"I cook your favorite food. I made a fried chicken" she smiled and started to prepare my food.

"Mom, I can't do it. Don't worry" I said as I try to serve my self a food.

"I want to do it for you my Kath. I rarely do this. I would be sad if you won't let me serve you"

I was stunned for a moment. Maybe, my mom feels lonely because she's always alone.

My dad died when I was 5 years old. He died because of hemorrhage inside his brain. I'm an only child and after I graduated from my university. I went to another town because Black Moon company wants me to work there.

Mom rushed to the kitchen and threw up.

"What's happening mom? Are you sick?" I asked worriedly and gave her a glass of water.

"Kath, I'm sorry" and mom cried.

"Why are you crying and saying sorry?"

"I'm really sorry. I'm such a terrible mother" and she burst into tears.

"Mom you're not a terrible. You're the best mom in the world" I said and gave her a hug to reassure her.

"Tell me? What's the problem?"

"Kath, I had a boyfriend when you left me alone here" mom started while crying.

I can't believe this. My mom is always loyal to dad.

"I love him, Kath" she added.

I think people change and there is no such thing permanent in this world.

"I have another dilemma"

I think I know what's happening right now.

"I'm pregnant" mom said in a low voice.

It hits me hard. She's not young anymore, my mom is in her 40's. I am not really sure if I should be happy or should I be sad.

I'm happy because I always dream to have a sibling. However, I'm sad because they might be some complications and may danger my mom and my future sibling lives.

I felt mixed emotions, I don't know how to react in this situation.

I am guilty if I didn't leave my mom. She won't feel lonely. Dad, I failed to protect mom. I made a promise to you that I would take care of her in your position.

I'm sorry for being a useless daughter.
