Liam rubbed his neck and closed his eyes for a while. "What this ? Who is she ?"
"Sit down, Liam" Luciano ordered firmly, then he turned to Elena who was still motionless from her position of "Come in, Elena"
Just a glance Elena threw a gaze at Liam with an uncomfortable feeling then she replied to Luciano's words with a heavy sigh.
It was not easy to be in this situation especially for Elena. After decades, he had never met Liam in person. His son who has now grown into an established adult man is in front of him now. In the past he could only see it from Magazines and news from the news on TV.
The woman's feelings raged violently, between continuing to continue this meeting or choosing to retreat. Given how the situation she was facing right now forced Elena to dare to meet Liam, even though it was difficult to reveal the truth she had kept for so many years. And now, he just wants to straighten things out. Restore all conditions to be good even though there must be inner opposition that is so strong.
With a very heavy step, Elena entered the room. Tension began to drain the middle-aged woman's face.
Liam frowned while continuing to look at Elena in surprise. In his mind he never once suspected that the woman he was facing right now was the woman he had been looking for. A woman who has a significant influence on her past.
Elena walked over and now she was standing just a few feet away from Liam. The woman still chose to lower her gaze, until Liam finally greeted her "Who are you ? Is there anything you want to talk about..."
Luciano interrupted "Let's talk casually"
Elena stepped up and sat down on the sofa. The woman tried to remain calm even since she arrived not a single word came out of her lips, she put her bag beside her right.
But, it was different from the attitude Liam showed. He was still standing and began to look agitated. The man repeatedly stared at the watch in his hand.
"You better tell your lady to wait, because tonight there's a lot of things we need to talk about" Luciano said, noting that his nephew's attitude was changing and trying to control the situation.
"What is this ? If it's not important, we should discuss tomorrow, I don't have..."
"It'S ABOUT YOUR PAST, LIAM" Luciano's loud voice echoed
Liam returned his uncle's gaze in surprise.
Hearing that, Elena let out a long sigh and looked down at the floor. Wondering where he should start.
Liam's restless face changed instantaneously "Last Time ?"
"Well...You should have understood what I said in the first place." Luciano replied
When Liam slightly opened his lips, a faint voice sounded.
"How are you...William ?" cut Elena slowly
Liam immediately turned quickly towards the woman. His eyebrows fused together "Why do you call me that ?"
Only the closest family often called the name to him, and Liam had very long never heard people call him that.
"William Xaverio Seymour, the name Roberto and I gave you. Even I'm always calling your little name Little Willy if I feel like I miss you so much. My Little Willy." Elena smiled bitterly
Reaching Elena's words earlier, Liam froze. He was silent for quite a while, his eyes did not switch a bit from Elena's. He continued to stare at the middle-aged woman's face that was still lowered.
"W-what do you mean ? Who are you really ?!!" a muscle in his sturdy jaw moved and a black lump in the man's eyes pressed Elena to speak more clearly
The woman's hands trembled, she kept clenching her hands so tightly begging for courage in the face of this situation. But, that doesn't help as tensions continue to mount between the two.
"Tell me who you really are ?!!" liam said again trying to control his emotions and regulate his breathing that began to tight.
"Roseanne" Elena finally lifted her face and now she looked at Liam for quite a while with her two teary eyes.
"W-what ?" liam's countenance was greatly shocked with both clenched hands restraining emotions.
Liam had chosen to be silent, his thoughts floating trying to find other justifications that were lost. But it was all as if it was a dead end with an unexpected fact that he would hear that night.
With a stammered voice Elena tried to make Liam believe "I changed my identity because to avoid Anita....I-i..."
"One thing I really want to know, why did you hand me over to a woman like Anita ?" liam asked coldly, the man could not help the pain in his heart when he found out the true facts.
Elena stood up "Listen, son. Don't ever think I abandoned you. Please, don't think that far."
"It was just that question that always came to me when I started to know the truth. Why ? Why did my own mother leave me even without any news as if she just disappeared ? But I deserve to know that fact ?" Liam smiles amid his teary eyes as he recalls his childhood being raised by a woman who absolutely did not love him sincerely
"It's not like that what really happened. You misunderstood. I never want to leave you, mistakes I've made in the past make me really regret it. There's been too much that I've been through but it's just for your good. For you and Anthony"
Liam cringing "Anthony ? Who is he ?" the eyes of the man were so fixed
"Liam let your mother explain it one by one" Luciano argued quickly
"He is your brother, Anthony Osvaldo Seymour. He is your Big Brother. I love you both so much."
"My Brother ?!!" Liam is a little surprised even though he already knows that he has an older brother but hearing his real name makes the man suddenly feel a bond that is difficult to explain
"Well, your age is only two years apart. And you guys are so similar to each other."
"where is he ? And why didn't he come ?!" tanyanya firmly
Elena took a breath, started to step up and approached Liam. He stood very close to his son. "Before you answer, can you hug me ?"
At first Liam still felt awkward, of course it felt foreign to him. Because all this time he had not prepared anything to be surprised by something that made him very shocked. A middle-aged woman who was now in front of him, the woman he had been looking for. It's right in front of him.
A Mother who expects her Son back into her life.
Having been silent for quite a while, Liam finally nodded slowly.
Then, Elena stepped closer and hugged her Son warmly.
The atmosphere became very quiet. Liam closed his eyes, enjoying the soft hands of his mother.
"My Little Willy...My Son" call Elena
Liam was silent, not saying.
"Mom knows you're angry, upset and hurt by everything you've done to you, son. I regret it so much, it never crossed my mind to forget you. The days that I live never escape from longing for you. Mom loves you very much. Mom was really sorry." without Elena noticing, her tears were flowing slowly through her nose.
Liam could sense that his mother was suffering all along. A continuous feeling of guilt haunted her, the middle-aged woman's body trembled with a raucous voice. Liam could hear the mother's cries in her arms.
And it made Liam pull his mother's body gently and hold her tighter, he rubbed her mother's still crying shoulder. Tranquilize. Gave him a sense of comfort.
Liam felt the same way, he never hated his mother. Instead he begged one day to be reunited so that he could still have a chance to make him happy. Happy for His Mother and Brother.
The meeting of Mother and Child made the atmosphere even more difficult. The tension that made the great wall between the two seemed to disappear.
