The excitement on her face flies away, her heart starts pounding faster.
She was standing near the window, enjoying a cool breeze hitting her face. Even though she had dense hairs, some of them were talking to the wind and dancing with it. She starts to rub her arms because of that cold breeze. She was so drowned in her thoughts, she did not even notice was watching her from the door for so long.

He takes small steps towards her. Her thought train breaks because of the sound his shoes made. She was waiting for him to tell him something that would take her to the heaven and back. She turns to look at him in excitement.

The excitement on her face flies away. Her heart starts beating faster and the excitement she was feeling has now transformed into surprise.
She asks him, “Who are you? How did you come in? What do you want?”

He does not even care to answer any of her questions. He’s just moving towards her slowly with a smile on his face. She tries to step back but the wall stopped her from doing so.

Fear takes over her, her breathing becomes heavy and he can hear her heart pounding. A drop of tear leaves her left eye and start flowing on her cheeks to reach the lips.

Drops of sweat start to form on her forehead. She does not know what to do.Her brain stopped sending signals. With each step he is taking towards her is making her hear pund louder. She wants to scream for help but fails to find her voice.

He is inching closer to her with each step he is taking, the sound of his shoe inching closer to her is making her nervous and a train of thoughts passes her mind.

He reaches out closer, hugs her and says “Hi Mom, I am your son” with trembling lips and tears in his eyes.

She is confused, pushes him away and tells him “Stay Away, I don’t have any son.”
She realizes her mistake and remembers her college where, afraid of being a single mother, she let go of her child.

She is not sure if it’s him or not. No one ever knew she had a son, whom she abandoned. He tells her how he figured out who his mother is. He cried his heart out and asked her again and again "Why did you do this to me Mom?". She had no answer, The fear she was feeling then has not turned to guilt. She can’t even look into his eyes. He starts blaming her for everything bad that has happened in his life.
