Chapter 2 Episode Two

EPISODE TWO

Mia's POV

"Did you know that your mom left you and uncle to be with a black man?" Said Camilla during one of the family gathering.

Camilla and I were about the same age just that her parents had her three months before I was born. They all laughed at me. I knew I would never be accepted by dad's family because they never liked my mom.

"No, uncle James divorced her mom because she wasn't good enough for him. And so he chose money over her." Cindy, my eldest cousin countered Camilla's words with a mock smile.

Dad chose money over mom?!

"Oh! That's true! No wonder uncle James seems rich now, even than my dad." Camilla eyed me.

Cindy reached out to knock my head and Camilla did the same too. The other children laughed at me as I hit the ground. Tears welled up in my eyes as I listened to them talk bad about my mom.

I felt like hitting them back, I wanted to scream at them for treating me like trash but I couldn't do anything to defend myself or my mom. I couldn't stand against all of them and if I dare hit Camilla who I could handle then that would spell deep trouble with Grandma. She would beat me up and side with Camilla and the other children. So I just stayed quiet and listened to them say all sort of things to me.

"She's a piece of trash." Camilla said and they laughed.

"No she's a complete trash and she should be called Ug-lee!" Cindy scoffed and they all laughed again.

"She looks like a pumpkin!" Another cousin mocked me. I ran off when I couldn't take it anymore.

On our way back home, Juliet noticed that I wasn't happy because I didn't play with my step brother - Jeremiah. Juliet had him two years after she married dad. And Jeremiah was barely six years old around that time.

Juliet pestered me to let out what was bothering me - and I did. Trust me anything Cindy says about any family member always turns out to be true. And I wanted to know the truth. I wanted my dad to admit it and Yes! Cindy was right!

"I did it for you , Mia." He admitted as he pulled up into the private driveway in our home.

I wasted no time in getting out of the car. I bounded up the stairs and ran into my bedroom. I was extremely heartbroken. He chose money over his love and marriage!

He came into my bedroom and tried to play the good guy. "We need to talk Mia."

"I want to be alone." I pulled the blanket over my head.

"Don't you want to know the reason why I made such decision?" he asked.

"I'm not interested," I grunted.

"Mia, I couldn't afford to lose a contract worth millions of dollars. So your uncle Tony offered to help me but on one condition." he explained.

I fixed things up in my head. "Divorcing mom?" I said in a sad tone.

"Yes," he answered.

Tears streamed down my cheeks when I sensed no feeling of regret in his tone. And I could hardly believe he divorced mom because of a contract.

"I made that decision because of you. Mia all I want is to give you a good life," he said.

Don't tell me such nonsense! I wanted to scream but I bit back my words. "Go away," I muttered.

"I want the best for you, Mia." he said finally before moving out of the room. And I sobbed.

I distanced myself for dad, Juliet and Jeremiah when I found the truth.

Years went by, For my high school, I graduated from a Catholic boarding school and I went to a teaching college because I wanted to be a teacher.

I was fine with the profession probably because I love children and having them around me makes me happy and I don't feel lonely too.

I love my job and the kids in my class even though I just started a year ago. The third graders accepted me immediately since their old teacher Sandra went into retirement.

About my family, I haven't been in close contact with my dad since my second year in teaching college. He never liked the idea of me becoming a teacher. Actually, he wanted me to be a medical doctor or a business person like him.

I must admit that dad was totally disappointed with my choice of profession. He didn't even make it to my graduation. He gave me the excuse that he was too busy at work.

For missing my graduation, I made a decision to never reach out to him again. It was such an important day in my life but he didn't show up because of work! Gosh! My mom wouldn't have missed such a day for the world!

And it was really sad that she wasn't here anymore. Yeah I know she left a long time ago but I can't seem to forget her completely. I tried finding her on the internet but all effort proved abortive. I found nothing!

And somewhere deep inside my heart, I still wished my mom would find me someday. Funny or wierd? It's one of my weirdest dream. Would she recognize me if we bumped into each other?

I have just one picture of my mom. I had picked it secretly the day dad wanted to burn mom's pictures in the furnace. I hid it in my safe for while and later framed it when I was in high school. Each time I stare at her image, I often feel like she was right beside me.

Over the years, I've dreamt of her reading me bedtime stories and singing me her favorite lullaby till sleep eludes me. But I realized that it was all a dream that may never come true.

And I cry each time I'm all alone in bed wishing that my life didn't turn out this way. I was alone - No family or a friend to share my thoughts with. All of these wouldn't have happened if dad hadn't chose money over mom.

And if I could turn back the hands of time, then I would one way talk some sense Into my dad's coconut head and stop him from making such decision.

Loneliness was just a bit of my problems. What problems?. Well I still have bigger things to deal with as a lady who was trying hard to love her body and accept who she was on the inside.

And I always wonder if I would ever be free from these problems.
