Father's Figure
The two women who had just been left by Michael looked very awkward, neither looking at each other nor talking.
Sarah looked down, looked at her fingers and began to rub her index and thumb fingers together.
She didn't know what to do!
"What have you been doing all this time?"
Teresa's question made Sarah lift her head, then look at the woman who, when she looked carefully, had grown very old. There were clearly visible wrinkles on her face.
"I became a doctor, the one you think is impossible," replied Sarah in a slightly sarcastic tone.
The old woman fell silent, before finally smiling in relief.
"I see… I'm relieved that you've achieved your dream," Teresa answered sincerely. Like a mother who just heard that her daughter graduated and became a doctor. There was a hint of pride on her wrinkled face.
Sarah snorted, then turned her face away. Why did Teresa look so proud?
