They wrote letters on my back while I read them bedtime stories.
THEY WILL NEVER FEEL ABANDONED. That has become my motto.
My mother ?
Silencio total.
SEVEN YEARS OF NOTHING.
Until yesterday, when I heard they KNOCK ON THE DOOR.
I opened it and felt my stomach sink.
My mother was there, like a stranger with my mother’s face.
She wore a designer coat, perfect hair, and jewelry.
She looked so tasty.
AND HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS NOTHING.
But when he saw the twins behind me, he lit up and spread out BAGS FULL OF LUXURY GIFTS.
Things I could never afford.
Things they’ve only dreamed of.
The girls eyes opened in pairs.
“Girls, it’s me… YOUR MOTHER …! Look what I got them my babies! ”
For a moment, I stood paralyzed, hoping I would like to fix things with the twins.
But it quickly became clear what her TRUE INTENTIONS were and why she had suddenly reappeared.
