True Identity(Part-2)

"I-Is it true, mom?" I asked in hesitation. 

"Yeah, it's true. *sob Your real father is Saad Silverstorm. *sob" Mom replied while crying. 

So, that's true. Hahaha, no wonder he tortured me. Simon Scarlet, I mean the person that tortured me all this time, might have found out that I am an illegitimate child of his own wife. That's why he hated me so much. That's why he never treated me as a child of his own, because I had never been one. He wasn't part of my family. 

Mom was married off to the Scarlet family. She became the head of this family because my father didn't have any relatives. So, which means this Scarlet house wasn't my own from the beginning. I was just an outsider. No wonder my father, Simon Scarlet, never called me by the word 'My son'. Well, he isn't my father. 

I just feel a little broken. The ideal family that I had been dreaming of just broke apart. I didn't have any family from the beginning. 

"So, that's the truth you have been hiding from me," I asked her. 

"Yeah, I am sorry dear. *sob I know that I have done something bad. I have cheated my husband. I know that I shouldn't. But I couldn't control myself back then. I am sorry dear. Please don't hate me. *sob" Mom started begging forgiveness. 

Well, it really doesn't matter if she cheated or not. It won't change the fact that she is my mom. I should console her. 

I hugged her and said, 

"Well, it doesn't matter to me. If you didn't cheat, I wouldn't even have been born. So, it doesn't really matter. I said from the beginning that I wouldn't hate you, didn't I?"

"Are you really forgiving me? I am a bad mother. It was my fault that your life became so miserable." Mom tried to confirm that if I had really forgave her. 

"If you don't want me to forgive you, then I won't. But if you want me to forgive you, then you don't have to worry about that. I wasn't mad from the beginning. You must have some reason to do something like that. I just don't want to pry too much into my mother's relationships." I replied with my honest opinion. 

"Seiren.." Mom replied with moist eyes. 

"Besides, it doesn't change the fact that you are my mother," I said with a smile. 

"Seiren..... Thank you, dear. Thank you very much. I love you. I love you. I love you....." Mom said. Her face was as if she was a teenager in love. She hugged me tightly. 

She is repeating the words 'I love you' like a broken machine. 

"Shiori-san, please calm down. You're breaking down." Rei-sama tried to calm her down. 

"I understand. Let's get married, Seiren." Mom said with sparkling eyes. 

*Punch

"What the hack are you saying you old lady," Rei-sama said while punching mom in the head. 

"What are you saying? I am just seven years older than you. I am not old enough. I can still marry." Mom furiously replied. She was rubbing her head. 

Really, what the hell is happening? 

"Listen, Shiori-san, I don't have all day. I am busy, you know. Let me do my job." Rei-sama lectured her. 

"Sorry. I just couldn't control myself. He is really a good boy." Mom apologized. 

No, I don't think I am that much of a good boy. I am just a normal boy. 

"Well, I won't deny that. It's a fact," Rei-sama replied confidently. 

No, just deny that. It's not a fact. 

Rei-sama looked at me and told me that, 

"So, the sum of it is that you belong to us. Your real family is Silverstorm, not Scarlet. We couldn't reveal that because if my father knew that you were a son of my uncle, he would kill you. I will explain it in detail. Before that, I think we should go now."

So, that's why she couldn't reveal my experience. I guess I understand somehow. But I guess she will explain it to me from the beginning. 

But what does she mean that we have to go? Does she mean she and mom are going outside? 

"Shiori-san, I am taking him with me as I told you before. I don't think he has much of a thing that we need to take with us." Rei-sama told mom. 

Well, I don't really have much of a things in my home. Even though it's normal for a person my age to have a smartphone. But I don't really have one. My dad, Simon Scarlet, was really against giving me something. I have got my first mobile after dad(Simon) died. Mom gave me her old broken computer when I got into high school. It was barely usable. But I can use it somehow. Well, I can use the internet. That's what I need. 

I don't really have good clothes. If I remember correctly, the last clothing that I got was my school uniform. 

Well, I am really grateful now. They gave me food even though I wasn't a member of the Scarlet house. I am really grateful that they really did a lot for me. I was able to get into a good school because of them. 

"Um, where are we going?" I asked. 

"To the place you truly belong," Rei-sama replied with a beautiful smile. 

Um? To the place I truly belong, huh? I don't think it exists in the first place. I mean, I don't have much of a conference about being a member of the Silverstorm family. I will just be a burden to them. In the end, they will think that I am an outsider. Even after all these years, I couldn't become a part of the Scarlet house. I don't even dream about being a Silverstorm now. 

Maybe Rei-sama truly wants to welcome me, but I don't think everyone would. In the end, I would remain an outsider there too. After all, there is no place for an illegitimate child, no matter which world you're in. 

"Rei-chan, what about Yumiko-san?" Mom asked. 

Yumiko-san? Who is it? 

"To be honest, I don't think she would take it normally. She hates you guys after all," Rei-sama replied. 

So, Yumiko-san is a member of the Silverstorm family. Well, as I thought, she doesn't like me. 

"Is it okay to send him to that place? I mean..."(mom)

"It's okay. I will make sure it is. Yumiko-san is not a bad person."(Rei)

Before mom could finish her line, Rei-sama replied. 

"If you say so," Mom believed her. 

Then mom looked at me and said, 

"Seiren, you see. That's the place you really belong. Please go with her. That will be your new home." Mom said with a feint smile. 

"Don't worry. I have already arranged a house for them near our house. They will be able to see you anytime they want." Rei-sama said with a smile. 

So, it's not like we won't be able to see each other. It's just my identity will change. That's all. 

"I understand." 

"Okay, let's go. I know you have a lot of questions. I will answer them in the car. I don't have much time." After looking at a watch, Rei-sama hurriedly said that. 

"Mom, is that okay?" I tried to ask mom if I should go with her. 

"Yeah, it's okay. Let's meet again, there. I have a little work. After that, we will go there to live. Even though we have a house in that place. But we will live in Silverstorm house. So, don't worry." mom reassured me. 

"Um, I don't really understand," I replied. 

"You don't have to. Now, let's go." Saying that, Rei-sama started pulling my hand. 

We went outside the house. There was a beautiful white car. We get in the car. 

There was a lady in the driving seat. 

"Okay, Shiori-san. Finish your preparation for moving in a hurry. Let's meet there. I will try to think about what to do with Yumiko-san." Rei-sama said to mom while sitting in the car. 

"Okay," Mom replied. 

"Mom, I really don't understand what's happening. But I am going, I guess." 

"Yeah, dear. I will be there soon." Mom replied. 

The car started going. The home that I have been living in all these years is vanishing little by little. I feel like I am being a little emotional. I feel like everything has been changed. 

I feel like I am an unwanted child. I am a burden to everyone.
