Eliza's POV
Calm down Eliza. You agreed your mom to stay with her until your home is remodelled again. Just 3 days more. Everything is fine but i feel strange is this how mother's love look like. Isn't this a lot. This huge room, a room which is stuffed with new and rare clothes, shoes, bags and all. I even got my student license today."Do you like it?" She aksed. I smiled awkwardly at her and nodded. We are at that huge mansion. Two caretakers of this mansion put down my luggages. I looked at her.
"Come i will show you something else. Then we can walk around." She looks so happy.She held my hand and walked to another room. I followed her.
Eliza, think how much she cried for you. Stay with her. That's what she need. Stop gaslighting (explanation of gaslighting:making someone question their own feelings) yourself. I wish it's not lovebombing.
What am i thinking?
She opened a room and looked at me. "Come in" she said with a smile. I smiled back at her and nodded.
"Look, these are your birthday gifts." She said and pointed at the things. "I bought this at your first birthday " i said then picked up some teddy bears. I laughed. I don't really like them. But they are out of love so it's the thought that matters. "Look this was the second " she said and picked up a box full of toys.She is so excited showing me them.
Third one was a bit toy car. Fourth was Polaroid camera. Fifth, a lot of letters for me. She asked me to read them. I agreed. She said she started writing them when she get to know that i am alive. She was saving gifts for a dead kid. How good mother is she. I wish she have got a good time. If it was,we both wouldn't have ended up like this.
Sixth, her journals. I have to read them too. It was especially designed for me.
Seventh was a wedding dress for me? She did it with her own hand. At that age. I wonder why did she do that? I always insisted on having a marriage until claire became my boyfriend.
Eighth were art supplies. She said she love art so she thought to buy me one. somehow she is right, i inherited. I really laughed at her strange thoughts.
Ninth was a piano. Tenth were birthday cards. She even wrote some notes in it.
Then the eleventh, it was a book by her favorite author. She said it will guide me to find positivity in everything.
12 th was some jwelleries gold, diamond and platinum customized with my name. She said that was the end of my childhood and next year i won't be a child but a teenager. It was a end of my childhood and a starting of much more traumas. And i became more strong after that year. She is right with the gifts.
Thirteenth one, first year as a teenager she saved journal kit for me. She said i probably need someone to hear me out but what if i won't get anyone like that so i can write down them. In this case we both think the same thing.
14th one brand new iphone, i pad, play station and so many gadgets.
15th gift was a resin keepsake. The photo of the scan report when i was on her womb, her pregnancy tester with two lines, my date and time of birth and my name. It was bordered with white roses. She said Liana became obsessed with her and said she likes white roses too.
She led me to somewhere and said my 16th birthday gift is somewhere else. She opened a huge door that led to a garage.My eyes widened there were a lot of car mods.
"This is all yours."she said. She is giving me heart attacks in every minutes. "Uh..." I stuttered. I want to say something but i don't want to say anything. That's my state nowShe gently smiled and caressened my hair. "There is something special waiting for you" she said then walked towards a car. "This is your birthday gift" she said and smile at me.. I looked at the car. No... Can i faint now. Why is she spending too much money for me?
Porsche 911...GT3 RS am i dreaming? I blinked a few times in disbelief. She turned me towards her. "No matter how much you refuse. All of this belongs to you. You're the heiress."she said. I just forced a smile."Thank you " i said. "No need of that, Eliza. Just give me one thing " she said. I looked at her and said "whatever".
She just smiled "Call me mom. I just want to hear that. Do you know how much a mother wait just to hear her kid call her mom? I waited for 16 years." She said.That made my heart shatter. "Thankyou mom"i said. Her face instantly lit up. She wiped my tears and kissed my forehead. My heart felt a warmth. Is this mom's love? Thank god...
"Ma'am, lunch is ready " a maid said. We both headed towards the dining. She always holds my hand and i let her. At the dining table, Claire was already thete.
"You refused to walk around this home when i asked you but you go with her" he asked. "That's how mom's love work" mom said.
"Why are not saying anything?" Claire asked me.
"Huh?" I asked in shock. I actually i was thinking something.They let me feel the love i longed for but when i get it i am refusing it. I am dwelling on too much negative feeling. That doesn't feel right.
I smiled at them and sat beside mom's seat. She smiled at me. The maids started serving again.I looked at mom in surprise. I have act jolly right now. Even if i am not i need to act. "Mom, you're giving me heart attacks " i said sarcastically. Claire and her laughed at that.
This is why people think i am strong. I can shift my emotions so fast but no i am so good in acting. I am like a broken glass if you touch me i will hurt you.
Having a fake smile destroyed my innerself.
