There was Mama sitting in the center of the reception section on a chair. It was one of the chairs we sit on behind the counter.
My heart bled the moment I set my eyes on her and saw her in that position. My legs wobbled and an invisible force I seemed to create suddenly glued my legs to the ground.
"Mama." I could only mutter, devastated.
Annoying Jerk's voice asked from behind me where he stood. "Is that your mum? What's going on?"
Without waiting for a reply from me, he began to approach her. Not that I could muster the strength to give one anyway.
Something was off and I wanted to tell him to wait for me or something. I had no idea what I wanted to say to him but my impulse said no.
And that was what I wanted to say to Annoying Jerk — no.
