Where's Mom?

"sister, where is mommy?", the very same question she kept in her mind ever since she was 5 years old.

She has plenty of siblings but all of them kept her in the dark. They hid everything from her to protect her but does she want that? They did not even consider asking her first.

There was one time where all her siblings had to go to the province, all she knew was that they we're going to visit their mom, little did she know they we're gonna attend a trial. She immediately went to write a letter for her mom. She was so excited to hand it over to her sister and even made sure that she was really gonna give it to her. In the end, the little girl saw the letter in the same pocket untouched when they came back.

4 years had passed when her mom suddenly showed up in their front door. She barely recognized her anymore. Seeing her face and feeling her presence once again, she didn't know how to react because where was she all this time?

Where was she when the little girl cried herself to sleep because she missed her so much? Where was she when the little girl turned bitter after seeing her classmates with their parents every after school and every parent's conference? Where was she when the little girl craved for her mother's love?

Those past 4 years, she somehow secretly searched for answers but no one knows. One day, she was just around 7 years old when she turned on their computer and searched for her mother's name in facebook. There she learned about the truth but it didn't gave her assurance and peace instead it gave her a huge wave of jealousy.

Her mother was in a place behind bars holding another girl in her arms. She knew what that place was but she didn't care. She only cared about why that little girl is with her mother.

"She's my mom, why is she with you and not with me?". A voice kept whispering that question in her mind as she tried to cover up her mouth from crying too much, cause the people with her might wake up.

The woman looked at her daughter with deep longing. She opened her arms and the little girl slowly walked towards her. She hugged her so tight not wanting to let go but the little girl did not feel the same. The little girl was filled with hesitations of going near her and felt awkward. Why? Because she did not feel the same kind of warmth she felt before. Because she misses her but she did not want to see her anymore.

Now I wonder why can't parents understand that they should not expect you to be affectionate towards them when they've been absent from your life. It doesn't matter if they gave birth to you or gave you life when you never asked for it in the 1st place. It's always been their choice to have you and if they choose to not be with you then they should never blame you for your lack of love for them.
