Eliot Joe

Ma, I'm home where are you?

*Eliot with excitement calls mother*

Ma (Eliot's Mother)

Oh Eliot it's been 5 months since I didn't see you sweetheart.

*ma pulls Eliot to hug but stops her*

Eliot Joe

Wait Ma, first I've got something for you close your eyes.

*ma closes her eyes and Eliot hands her the beautiful roses bouquet 💐*

*with tears in her eyes ma hugs Eliot without saying anything*

*Eliot also starts to cry a bit but hiding it bravely asks ma*

Eliot Joe

What's the matter, Ma? You didn't like flowers? I handpicked them for you.

*with sobbing voice ma tries to speak*

Ma (Eliot's Mother)

It's so beautiful just like you and I always like what you bring but you know very well that your Ma only waits for you every time, sweetie.

*Eliot rolls eyes and say*

Eliot Joe

Ma, don't call me sweetie, please. I'm not a baby anymore you know.

*ma laughs teasingly and hugs Eliot tightly*

Ma (Eliot's Mother)

But you will always be a baby for me and just because you cut your hair doesn't mean you're a boy.

*Eliot laughs loudly*

Eliot Joe

Ma, everyone thinks I'm a boy even sometimes my commander calls me a soft boy, I kinda hate it what does hair have to do anything with gender?

*ma smiles and assure Eliot*

Ma (Eliot's Mother)

Because sweetie, long and big hair suits girls and represents them and short represents boys.

*Eliot mumurs*

Eliot Joe

Yeah yeah, the same answer always.

*ma stands and goes to kitchen*

Ma (Eliot's Mother)

Go and take a shower and I'll make some tasty yummy Ramen 🍜 for you.

*exciting Eliot say*

Eliot Joe

Oh Ma I missed a lot of Ramen made from your hands.

*Eliot takes and kisses ma's hands*

Ma (Eliot's Mother)

Umm sweetie when you have to go again? *nervously asks*

Eliot Joe

*looks at the ground* I don't know when the orders will come, I have to.

*ma chopped coriander and doesn't reply*

Eliot Joe

*hugs ma* Ma please don't cry atleast I'm here with you right and I will always be here when you'll miss me.

*ma cries loudly and hugs Eliot*

Ma (Eliot's Mother)

Sweetie, I miss you a lot every time ever since you have become Captain in the Navy I don't see you for months if your alive or...

*Eliots cuts off the sentence and hugs ma tightly and kisses her forehead*

Eliot Joe

Shh Ma it's okay I'm here in your heart and always I miss you too.

*ma wipes her tears and push Eliot to take shower*

*Eliot come in the room and stand in front of the mirror*

Eliot Joe

Ma (Eliot's Mother)
