Guilt
Lisa doesn't want to let yesterday's scary incident happen again. Actually, she didn't want to send William to school. There was still half of her that was afraid of yesterday's events happening again. Who knows what will happen today?
But seeing her son looking so excited to get ready for school made Lisa couldn't help but take him there.
Feeling that fear emanating from his mother made William hug Lisa's neck. He rested his chin on her shoulder and tried to reassure his mother that he would be fine.
"Yes, Mama. Don't worry about me, okay? I promise I will not be naughty and listen to all the words of my teachers today. Later, I will wait for Mama here, with my teachers and friends."
They hugged for a long time that they didn't realize the school gate was about to close. One of the teachers standing in front then walked up to them. A warm but thin smile graced her beautiful face.
