Chapter 52: A message

Brian was busy recording a new song that he had just written a few weeks ago for his late mom, in his home studio.

Sitting in front of the microphone, with a headset on, he had a serious expression on, as he began to sing.

You came into my life and then you disappear

You left me with nothing, but despair

You know it's only you that can make my worries disappear

You're the only one I wanna feel my dear

Cause no one else can make me feel the way you do.

With you mom, I would have been complete.

You're my world, you're my life.

So please come back.

It's only you I want

Mommy it's only you.

Only you.

...

This hole in my heart, only your love can fill it up.

Please come back to me, cuz I can't do without you in my life.

I really wanna spend my whole life knowing that you're around, so why did you leave?

Mommy why?

Please come back to me.

I don't wanna spend my life alone, anymore.

I want you here with me, so please come back.

It's only you I want.

It's only you

Only you.

...

There's something I wanna tell you.

Mommy, I love you.

Yes, I do.

Mommy I need you.

Yes, I do.

I really love you, and ever since you're not around, I miss you.

I'm so incomplete…

******

Before he could finish with the last line, his voice got choked up with tears. He pulled off the headset and shut his eyes tightly.

He wanted to put out the song, but knew it would bring pity again, since he couldn't control his emotions during the recording.

He didn't like how his mom was murdered because she gave birth to him.

Perhaps if he wasn't born, the poor woman must be alive and well now.

Getting up on his feet, he ruffled his hair and cleaned the drop of tears at the corner of his eyes.

He needed more strength before hardened his heart and let the music out. He wanted to shout to the world about how he misses his mom and would do anything to have her back, even though he knew that it wasn't possible.

Even though the memories aren't fresh anymore, he could still feel her warmth when she holds him like he was the most important person in this world.

His mobile device shimmed, throwing him off his thoughts.

He wanted to stop feeling pathetic but couldn't help himself. When he thought about the amount of money he has in his account and the details of his mom's struggle in her diary, he felt something broke Inside him.

If only she was here.

He could have filled up those holes for her. He could have loved her and take care of her.

He sniffed his nose and reached for his phone.

It was an inbox message from an unknown number. He had no idea how the person got his number, because only a few people had it.

*A man needed that special someone in their life, who they could share things with and slowly build something along the way.

Emma William is a woman that's willing to give you a chance to have a cup of coffee with her when you crave one.

She wouldn't mind clinking a wine cup with you when you're in the mood to drink and can grant you her ear when you feel like talking to someone.

Brian, you've got a friend in me. It's up to you to grab onto this opportunity, as it wouldn't be available for long.*

Brian frowned his face.

What gave this girl the audacity to be doing all this to him?

He felt annoyed and blocked her number immediately.

The message was deleted as well.

He kind of felt irritated and got the feeling of being harassed.

He dropped the phone and played the music that he just recorded.

He's planning to make a live recording of the song, but couldn't help but break down before hitting the last note.

It was why most of his music was a hit. People could relate with every word in the lyrics and his voice was the type that touches the soul.

Brian picked up a bottle of water and took the content, before taking a deep breath.

He wanted to let it out and he should.

As if founding courage out of nowhere, he opened the live stream and began singing the song again.

The Internet goes into chaos immediately. Within 30 minutes, there were over 2 millions views and it kept skyrocketing.

Getting to the last note again, he choked up in tears and bit down on his lower lips in embarrassment.

After saying a few words to his fans, he ended the stream and breath a sigh of relief, while his tears didn't cease dropping.

"I wish you could come back, mom. Your son hasn't grow uo. He's still a baby that needs you."

...

Olivia was also viewing the stream. The sincerity in his eyes broke something inside her.

She loved her parents but doesn't really value people's existence much.

Tears stream down her face, because it was something that she really doesn't place extreme value on, that was making a grown up man look so messed up.

Olivia had no idea what came over her, but she also joined in with his fans that were spamming the comment box with crying emoji.

They were consoling him and claiming that if it's possible to wake his step mother up from the grave, they wish to torture her and cut her into a million pieces.
