Chapter two

She screamed for help but I could not reach out my hands to help her.

"Oh gosh!"

There was a bang on my door.

I woke up quickly before my mum would bawl me out for waking up at half past six.

While taking my shower with my eyes closed, the memories appeared before my eyes and this time I saw the images clearly and heard the voices loudly as well, just as I opened my eyes, I had forgotten every scene I just remembered. It brought to my realisation that it was the sixth time I had such a nightmare.

Before I could figure out something, my mum yelled out my name "Liza!!"

"Oh no! no one would save me from her scolding this time" I said to myself.

My mum was short tempered but she always made sure I'm safe and despite my stubbornness, she was always there to defend and protect me.

I felt as if she was always trying to make up for all the lost times we grew apart . I grew up ten years alone in the woods without a father nor a mother. Three months ago, my mum was released from jail so I needed some time to accept and love her for who she was. Within these three months, she had done everything possible to keep me happy and I couldn't imagine starting or ending my day without her.

I drew my chair behind as I sat behind the dining table just inhaling the sweet aroma from the foods on the table.

My mum had an extraordinary cooking skill which could drive you nuts upon tasting her various recipes.

No wonder she earned an employment in one of the largest restaurants in Zarish. The owner of the Wings Restaurant was very complicated. She would only employ educated and skilled personnel for her restaurant since it was one of the best and biggest in Zarish.

Upon tasting my mum's salad bread and laddos, she couldn't resist but ask for more.

That was one of my mum's special recipes.

She employed my mum and within these three months, she had become the head caterer in the restaurant . So far, she had only introduced six of her special recipes.

Customers at the restaurant and her boss liked these recipes very much and as a result demand was always on high.

My mum was an educated woman but after completing college , circumstances led her to being a strumpet at a casino from which I was born.

Today was my graduation after putting in so much effort in college , I finally could have my peace. One thing my mum did while I was a child was to invest in my education till I'm done with college .

This was how I could overcome my financial problems from age nine till now.

Growing up into a lady, I learnt how to build myself to become an independent woman . From the woods to my school was two kilometres and thank God that I never missed my school bus on any occasion.

I was always punctual and I didn't like to procrastinate either.

At a distance, my mum was looking at me and when our gazes met, she could only hold me by my shoulder with tears flowing down her cheeks.

She said" I'm proud to have a daughter like you!".

These were words that I didn't normally hear people tell me.

Eventually, tears flew down my cheeks as I embraced her in a tight hug.

After getting over the emotions, I grabbed my hamburger in my hands as I drank my coffee for breakfast.

Hamburgers were my favorite so I used to eat it delightfully with my black coffee .
