Chapter 17

she didn't know what to say or to tell him she just hugged him tight so he could feel a person beside him . and why didn't you tell anyone what was happening to you that time ? she asked him , but afraid of looking him in the eyes .

I got no one to tell my story that time Dana , I was by my own that time . and I was threatened by my aunt if I dare say a thing. he explained .

am here for you C! whenever you need me. and I promise to get your pain away as you did for me at any cost . Dana promised him .

you don't have to do anything for me dear , I know everyone loves me in the shadow of Leinad no one can love me the way I am . when you get to know me day by day , you will learn am not the person to be by your side . so please don't give those promises. he said to her face causing her to think of the real Lei he never knew the one behind the one she knows.

she leaned in and hugged him, with her head on his chest , and her arms wrapped around his tummy . time will teach me how to bear it. Dear . she said in a calm voice. hear ear hearing his heart beating.

after a while she stood up and looked at him .

are you fine C? she asked .

yeah! am good. D , don't worry !

okay! be good am going home , I will keep on talking to you. she said. she weared her shoes and went back home .

she went all way home sobbing, keeping herself strong not to let any drop of tear from her eye . but her heart was feeling so heavy for her to keep it from herself. she went home found the dinner done , she picked her food and went to her room . she knew there wasn't a morning ride and nothing was the same with Lei because the way she left him earlier he looked heart broken .

she ate quickly and went to bed. before she could sleep she thought of writing him a message. " Lei Dear! am still in, to carry your burden ", . she sent it and went to sleep.

Lei , read the message but didn't know what to do , didn't know what to respond to her. he holded his pillow tight and said to it thank you Dana !

he slept with his head full of thoughts.

In the morning Dana woke up, early it was in the weekend anyways , she went to the bathroom took a shower and went to the kitchen. she wanted to make something for herself. she started pilling potatoes and cutting onions.

who is he? the voice from behind asked her a question. she turned to see who it was , it was her mother.

who? Mother ! she asked her also .

The guy behind the smile on your face , behind the tears and the quick weeping, the guy in the morning sport and the one who taught you how to cook and to be cool , the one who brought laughter in your life? her mother asked looking in her eyes.

she got surprised of how her mother know all of those things and have seen the way she changed . she lost words in her head to answer the question. why mother? that's all she managed to say but it was also a question not an answer.

that's a question daughter ! she informed. okay I am a mature person and am older than you , I see the changes you can't see but you only feel and I know all those things their is a guy behind it . so tell me what is his name ? her mother asked her .

he is Lei , waited few seconds and continued. Leinad Kansa . that's the guy behind everything you see and I feel. she answered her mother's question now satisfying.

tell me more ? her mother suggested. smiling at her .

she was feeling uncomfortable talking those things with anyone but she was feeling something in her like liking the questions that her mother was asking .

he is kind , a good person and he found a good thing in me that I didn't know he also makes me happy.

she answered but her mother's eyes were never living her . she was enjoying the thought of her sad daughter saying those things to her . or more she was happy about it

they chatted and chatted, laughed and cried it was a good conversation between a mother and a daughter.

they reached the topic of Lei and her aunt she stated crying and telling her mother she doesn't know what to do to help him . he feels helpless for she can't help him with anything now that he is broken.

what did he do to help you feel happy, Dana ? he mom asked.

he has been here for me and holded me tight when I was feeling down and listened to me , and I was always back to life whenever he did those things to me . she explained.

that's what he only needs from you my daughter, he did all those things to you because he knew that's what he wanted for himself to heal him , he used them on you . so daughter do the same and follow what your heart is telling you that's why he trusted you with his heart and secret. don't waste any of them . go get what is yours sweetheart, he is yours but you need to show him you can help . go go Dana . her mom advised.

she was happy with the idea of talking to her mom openly and creating a relationship from something like she knew in her heart that she was not backing up she was going to make more steps . they were very happy together and looked beautiful like every mother and daughter. they cooked together until breakfast time , everyone was surprised to see moala their mom with Dana serving breakfast together. and no one wasn't happy for them expect for Jada her face was kind of sad but managed to hide it quickly so no one can see it. even though they were happy no one even managed to say a thing about it.
