"You have favoritism between your daughter and niece. I know you want the best for your niece that your sister left for you to care but Alice is your daughter, your flesh and blood. Why are you so indifferent towards her?" Becky asked confused with irritation. Even I wants to know why she's like that to me. Angeline... she knows that mother favored her over me so everything she did something bad, mom will think that I was the one who did it.
"Alice still have me! While Angeline doesn't have her mother neither her father! Even if she's living in with my parents, Angeline still feel lonely. I just want her to feel that she's not alone," mom answered with a serious face. She looked like she unjustly wronged by Becky.
"Heh, so you say that Alice is not worthy of your attention because she have everything while Angeline doesn't have?" Becky asked with a raised eyebrow. There is a defeated sighed escape her lips. Mom nodded. She looked pleased. I have everything? I don't think that's even true when all the good things went to Angeline. And what I get is Angeline's rejected items that she doesn't like anymore. "I still wonder if Alice is your daughter. It sucks ti have you as a mother."
"Becky you—"
Becky stopped the car. I looked outside, we arrived to our house. I looked at Becky who gave a disapponting look at mom. "Alicia, Alice is a kind child. You always complain about her being a trouble maker but I never see her do any trouble once when she's with me when she was young. You're too biased towards your niece and you neglect your daughter who always think of you. I hope... You don't regret anything in the end. Sometimes, those we think we knew through and through is someone who backstabbed you in the end. Good night."
Mom groaned and get down the car. I looked at Becky who looked heartbroken. "I hope you're okay, Alice. I hope that I'm wrong with what I saw earlier."
She saw earlier? Ah, she might be talking about the birthmark in my arm. I smiled dejectedly. "No, you're right. Mom really doesn't care about me and doesn't even remember that I have a birthmark in my arm."
I've already given up on mom. I just wish to leave this place and just move on. Disappear in this place. So that all the painful memories will disappear. Even though I prayed for it hard, my prayers weren't heard.
