Toxic Relationships
The Truth (2)

...Happy Reading ...

Jack now looked at the father with sadness, now everything has been revealed. Almost the last few years, his regrets have been revealed. Jack smiled cynically, he somehow had to respond to it. Now that he knows why his obsession with Clara is so great, it's all downhill from his father.

“If indeed you will regret, why did you spend so much – nyiannya?”

Jack smiled sinisterly at the father who was still lying in a coma, slowly he looked the other way, slowly his eyes began to heat up. And drop by tear now comes out. Her chest feels so tight. All because of that tape, that damn tape Judy gave him three days ago.

Tape containing the outpouring of the heart of the Father for his mother, a recording that lasted almost an hour. And the most surprising of all is the body of the mother who was preserved looks so clearly recorded there.

The tomb he had always visited with chrysanthemum flowers was empty. Father had taken it secretly and preserved it in a large refrigerator right next to his bedroom. And stupidly his father's subordinates who did it all. This is all really crazy.

“Everything I just found out a few months ago, I've returned Mom's body to the tomb it was supposed to be. And that's making Dad depressed. As long as you're in jail, Dad's been in a mental hospital for psychotherapy, but now his mental state is much better. Therefore please Jack, don't make Dad back depressed.”

Word – said Judy three days ago kept ringing in her head. Jack's eyes now turned back to look at his father. Jack clenched his hand tightly, trying so hard to hold his stuffing so as not to be heard.

“Sorry, forgive me.”

Jack said in his tears, why did he just know all this? His father must have been very depressed, especially with his stubborn nature. Jack smiled softly at his cries. If Clara's death was too late, would she have done the same?

Jack now had to flinch when the door creaking sound opened. He quickly wiped away his tears. Right in front of the door is now Mrs Hilton carrying a basket of fruit, not knowing the truth. The woman before him now no longer holds the status of his stepmother. The divorce he had heard from Judy, and how the woman before him struggled to care for the father but eventually he chose to give up.

“You okay Jack?”

Looking at Jack's grim face, the former stepmother looked so worried. Almost three days ago Jack had not slept even just a little bit of food. His face was so pale, while Judy had to handle two companies at once. Jack seemed to have lost his life spirit.

“You're supposed to break Jack, I'll wait for your father a while."

“Sorry.”

“No, no one needs to apologize here.”

“Sorry for my father's treatment of you and thank you so much for still taking the time to come here, Mother.”

The middle-aged woman was now looking the other way, her eyes started to glaze over. He could not help his happiness because of Jack's words. Jack called her Mother for the first time. The hard struggle over the years seemed to have paid off already. But quickly the woman wiped her tears and began to smile.

“You better rest, I'll replace you here.” Said the woman and patted Jack gently on the shoulder, Jack just nodded and headed for the exit.

“If the name Mother makes you uncomfortable, you can call me Mrs Turner. Donna Turner, that's my real name.”

Mrs Turner said with a faint smile. Jack paused for a moment before nodding and starting to open the door knobs. Jack took a deep breath and resuscitated his body at the door behind him. He closed his eyes for a while, drowsiness and fatigue were now so pronounced.

“Jack?”

Jack now looked up when someone called his name, right in front of him now stood Clara who was looking at him worriedly.

Jack was silent for a moment, his chest suddenly felt so tight. It was as if the memories with his real mother were right in front of his eyes. Clara's shadow had now changed with the figure she had longed for, standing with a smile. Smile because he has fixed the relationship with everyone.

“I.. Mommy?"

Clara now began to run towards Jack, the shadow that was originally her mother was now back to be the figure of Clara who hugged her tightly. To make matters worse, Jack started crying. The tears that he had been holding back seemed to just explode, he returned Clara's embrace so tightly, as if he did not want to lose the girl for good.

While Clara was silent, she really did not know what had happened. A few minutes ago Judy called her to come to the hospital, and she thought something was wrong with Jack. But seeing that he looked fine made him so relieved. But Jack's heartbreaking cry left him so confused. Clara stroked Jack's back gently.

“Stay with me forever Chal.”
