Chapter 6
I hurt for my son. It hurts me because we always have this scene every time on his birthday. She used to talk to her Daddy after her first birthday but that ended, when her 2nd birthday followed, there was no sign of us. As if he doesn't care anymore.
"M-Mama...I don't need a lot of toys... I just want to be with my Daddy... He's enough for me, Mama... He's always absent from my birthday..." he told me and his shoulders shook.
I hugged him tighter and kissed his forehead. Weak sobs are coming out of her little mouth.
"M-Mama... I wanna see my Dad... I want him for my birthday... Doesn't he...love me anymore, Mama? Does Daddy not like me anymore? Is that...is he always absent from my birthday? Is that why he doesn't show us? Does he have...any other...love? Other than us, huh Mama?" he asked me full of resentment. It's like a knife stabbing my heart because of what I heard.
It hurts more to hear her cry and to see her like this. He is also hurt.
"That's not true, my son... Daddy loves you so much... He loves you so much..." I said. I'm telling Poinier this so he doesn't hate his Daddy. So that he doesn't get angry about it, and even if he just sulks. Just don't let him go away.
"B-But where is he, Mama? It's my 4th birthday, Mama... Where's my Dad?!" she cried to me and I stroked her back. He repeatedly kissed her cheek and forehead.
"D-Daddy has a present... Even if he can't come, right? You have a birthday present from Daddy..." I consoled him.
It's not true that he has a gift that he receives from his Daddy. It's not true that Poirier still sends toys for our son. It's not like before that it hasn't even reached two weeks yet what kind of toys Poinier receives from him.
But Poirier still has support for our son. Money in the bank is growing that I don't draw down much. He still gives to us every month.
Three days ago I saw that the money I withdrew was 50K. Poirier and I talked before that even if my bank account was only 10K full, it would be fine. Poinier can revive us at that price.
In the salary company, where our two companions were hired, that was no longer a problem for me.
I just paid the 30K so I can get something back. Because I admit that I was afraid that Poirier might even give up on his son's alimony, but he didn't.
But if that happens, I will be forced to find a job for my son. Even though I know I will have a hard time.
We agreed that he would only send 10K per month and he agreed with me. I know Poirier is very rich so I only gave him 10K but when I went to the bank yesterday and made a withdrawal I was surprised to see that it had reached a million. I think Poirier added because he knew it was his son's birthday. Or if he still remembers.
The gift I'm talking about is the one who buys it and I just tell my son that his Daddy gave it to him. He still has cards to make him believe.
I don't want to lie when it comes to that matter but I can't see my son in pain just because he is waiting for his Daddy who is not sure if he will come.
Because it's still the same as before, no Poirier is showing us. My son couldn't take it anymore and just kept crying.
I also tried to call Poirier but he never answered the other line. He doesn't even reply to my text messages. So in the end I gave up. I can't do anything but comfort my son.
Poinier was able to sleep crying after that and it seemed that he had no intention of celebrating his birthday but we still forced him. Somehow he forgot about his Daddy for a while.
One day, my child... You too will understand everything. That's why... Daddy doesn't sleep here with us... That's why he can tolerate you even though he loves you so much.
Because you have a share of his attention. Daddy is not for us...
Even though Poinier is obviously sad, he still tries to show us that there is nothing. That he is fine and he can still wait for his Daddy to return.
Arbeth and Lorda had a day off that day. So they thought of going home to the province and I told them to make their stay with their families one week. They are also sad because they will not see Poinier for a week.
So my son and I were left in the mansion. I left him in the living room while he played with his dollhouse. His teddy bear named Pon pon became his favorite.
We are now teaching him how to ride his bike because his Daddy couldn't do it anymore.
I kissed his cheek causing him to look at me, "What do you want for dinner later, my son?" I asked him smiling. I fixed the headband he was wearing.
He smiled at me and immediately answered, "It's just your tuna, Mama," he answered me and played again.
I got up and walked towards the kitchen but I heard a car honking outside our mansion and it might be at the gate.
That noise did not escape Poinier's hearing so he was surprised to even stand up.
"Daddy! Maybe he forgot my birthday yesterday that's why he's here? Maybe we should have a late celebration, Mama?" he asked me smiling.
I shook my head because I felt a nervousness in my chest. It couldn't be Poirier. Even though he didn't directly tell me that day that he chose his family, I know that's what happened.
So it is very impossible that he came because I have a strange feeling today.
Before Poinier could approach the front door, I quickly stopped him. I promised him and he looked at me confused.
"That's my Daddy, Mama. I want to see him! I'm excited, Mama!" he said still excited. I shook my head and made him sit on the sofa. I knelt down so that our faces were level.
I kissed his head and looked at him with talking eyes.
"Can you stay here first, my child? Mama will just see who has come but...don't come out until I call you. Stay here first, baby..." I said and didn't even my nervousness decreased.
"Poibier, can I count on you, my son?" I asked him again because he was still confused.
"Isn't that my Daddy, Mama?" he asked and I shook my head.
"If that's Daddy, he'll call us first before coming here. Promise me, Poinier, that you won't leave here and just wait for me when I come back," I said and he slowly nodded.
"Y-Yes, Mom..."
I knew he was an obedient child so I had the courage to leave him there and not obey me.
I took a deep breath. I even glanced at my son who was looking at me at this time. Then I turned the doorknob open.
The drum in my chest grew stronger when I saw the red car that was obviously going to be loved.
My legs were shaking but I still managed to walk and approach our gate.
The door of the red car opened and a woman got out. I first saw her high heels that were the same color as her car.
I stood up straight when I recognized who the woman was. My heart wasn't beating as fast and I was already feeling bad.
Something seems to happen...that I can't figure out. I glanced at the mansion where my son was waiting for me.
My hunch was correct that it wasn't Poirier who came. Instead his wife...
Yes, Poirier's wife came. How did he know about us? The mansion?
Does he really know anything? Did Poirier tell him?
There are many questions that are difficult to answer now. I tasted and came closer to the gate. It's only up to my waist and I have no intention of opening this girl.
"You must be Reolla Moon. The mistress of my husband..." she said quietly. His voice was also very cold and the first time he stroked my body, there was an insult on his beautiful face.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in our mansion?" I asked him without emotion either. I didn't realize that until now I was still nervous.
I did not expect that Poirier's wife and I would meet and meet. I didn't even think that it was possible for me and the woman who became my enemy in the heart of my child's father to cross paths.
So even I was surprised but I'm confused as to how he knew me and why he knew the mansion we're staying in now and why he rushed here?
"You've got to kidding me, dear. Okay, so you can get to know the girl in front of you now," he said while still grinning.
He walked closer to the gate and I don't know if he had been drinking, because the way he walked he seemed drunk. Both his cheeks were also red. His eyes blinked slowly, as if he was still sleepy.
He held on to the gate and his eyes were glaring at me. His eyes almost popped.
"For your information, dear. I'm Ameefa San Gorte Del Fierro, the legal wife of Poirier Del Fierro and I'm his son's mother..." he introduced himself and if he could pronounce those words he seemed to be a very tall person and his every word has an emphasis.
As if she is proud because she is Poirier's legal wife and she is the one who deserves it.
"I don't know why you introduced me, Mrs. Del Fierro. I also don't know why you were brought to our mansion. Is it just to introduce me that you are Poirier's wife?" I asked softly and he suddenly got angry for reasons I don't know.
"I'll just remind you, Reolla Moon. That no one can steal Poirier! My husband is only mine! And he can't just end up like you...no one educated... You only rely on money of my wife and making our million happy!" he shouted angrily.
One of the things I was thankful for was that Poirier chose this area in the subdivision so there are only a few people living here. Because if our neighbor was nearby, I'm sure there were people watching us at that time.
They will look at me with judgment in their eyes. They will think that I am just destroying the family. This is really the life of the hookers. It always destroys a couple's relationship.
