Chapter 3: A Loving Mother

Erin's POV

After class, I immediately put my stuff away and put it in my bag before I took it, and I immediately walked out because my friend Remi and I were not together because her boyfriend was with her. I immediately sighed. I'm used to it.

But I'm sad because, ever since she had a boyfriend, my friend has never had time with me again. With every dismissal, it seems like time has been lost to me. I miss our bonding after school, where we used to go to the street food and sit together and eat what we bought and talk about our day.

It's because I never thought that someone would like my friend, even though she's too grumpy, unlike me.

I immediately walked home, and in just 20 minutes, I arrived in front of our house and immediately entered, taking off my shoes and placing my bag on the sofa.

"Mom, I'm already home," I said before getting closer to my mom, who had been in the kitchen cooking food for our dinner.

"Oh, I'm so glad that you're home safely."

I just smiled at her and hugged her waist, clinging to her. I really love my mother; she's the best person in the world.

"Mom, you should not get too worried about me because I'm okay and no one will ever do something bad to me because if they ever do, I will kick their faces, okay? I guess you forget, mom, I'm a black belter in taekwondo." I said to her proudly and even raised my right foot, kicking the air. Well, it's true, I'm a black belter in taekwondo. Not only that, ever since I was a kid, I've been a championship winner, where since childhood I have been participating in contests and I have won a lot of trophies and medals.

"By the way, what are you cooking, mom? It looks delicious."

I immediately drooled because it smelled so good and obviously delicious that it would feed me a lot again.

"Porksteak is your favourite; I know that you're tired from school; that's why I cooked it for you."

I can't help but be touched by what Mom said. My mom is really very loving to me and my brother.

"You're really the best mom; I already miss my brother so much."

I told you here that he hasn't come home for five months because he is finishing his contract, but I can't help but be jealous of my brother because he can travel to other countries on a ship.

"I'm also my child, but just be patient; your brother will go home; you should get dressed and rest before we eat."

"Okay, mom," I said before going to my room to get dressed before going out and going to the living room and watch a movie.

After that, my mom called me for us to eat dinner, so I helped her up, and we started eating peacefully.
