Straight Devil's

Straight Devil's
Both with Mom


I threw the tissue in the trash can in my room, after eating earlier I just kept salivating, I don't know I've never been like this.


"Mom's not home yet?" ask my mother who is still sitting on the sofa in the living room.


"No, mom's staying over, your dad's in America, mom's lonely at home."


I sat next to my mother holding a tissue box, and I just kept drooling like a rabies dog.


"Mom, you can sleep here for a while." point me at mom's thigh, I don't know if I'd like to be there with a soft touch on my head.


"Come on." welcome mom, the touch of my fingers in my head made me feel comfortable, I fell asleep there, for a while, just a few seconds, and then I asked mom.


"Have you ever lied to your mom? is that a lie hard to forgive?"


"Either." Then mom looked at me.


"What?"


"Bella's." Lirih.


"Bella?" I raise my eyebrows.


"Yes, I never knew if Bella was going through something similar with Adam, your father kept everything a secret from me, until when Bella grew up with you, and she started to feel pain, she said, dad just told me a lot about Bella, your 7-year-old covered everything."


"What's dad's excuse?"


"The reason is because I'd better pay attention to you, our daughter, and Bella should be taken care of by her and the best doctors, that's the reason why you can only meet at certain times, she said, and when Bella comes back, you're always doing something that's causing me to ask your grandfather to take care of you."


"Blevin, believe me mom loves you so much, you know, the first time a guy expresses his feelings directly to me, I'm so happy, finally my little daughter gets the guy who really wants her."


"Audrey?" I asked, I would love to hear how Audrey can marry me.


"Yes., he said to your father, that you're not his type, but he also said if he wouldn't fall in love by type anymore, he'd already be trapped on you, he'd be stuck on you, Audrey's been liking you ever since she was your driver, but she didn't dare to express her feelings because you know, she was a simple guy back then, and you? you're a princess, baby."


"Mom called me baby?"


"Yes... Audrey asked me to call you dear, she asked me to come here, find out how you are doing."


How could Audrey have harbored her feelings for so long, as long as I was to find out who the girl she called in the book was me?


I smile, my heart is a little comforted now.


When I walked into Audrey's dormitory I found a book, she drew a female character, called My B. I was trying to find the woman, until I speculated that it was just her imagination, and I concluded that My B was actually a man she portrayed in another character, I really liked fiction, so yeah, I thought so.


"Now you should rest, I'll go in the room, I'm tired too." Say mother.


"Good night ma'am" I said, I passed by and went back into the room.


For a moment fiddling with my phone, I was drawn to a photo, a photo of our holiday in the Maldives.


To be honest I feel lonely that there is no Audrey here, I want to hug her right now.


Audrey didn't miss me? I miss you.
