Bobby few years back was seven and the love for me and his mum was even. Life was cute and comfortable, just as Bobby was fine and reliable. Fun came to town one day and frustration came to stay. With friends I began drinking and with them I started smoking. Bobby still was reliable but definitely not comfortable with the trauma I caused his mum as I always came back to beat his mum. Deprived of my love and care, he got all out to have his share of the kind of live I was living and even told us he was leaving. Bobby that day kissed his mum and left, but earlier hugged her and both wept. This memory haunts me with much pain and every day I hope to see Bobby again. « return. |
