She could not say she was not happy to see her mother again. Despite their misunderstanding, she had missed her mother terribly. They had always been a team, she and her mother against the world.
However, she would admit she felt guilty for being angry with her without trying to comprehend her reasons for lying. She never gave her mother a chance to see it from her point of view.
"Eida, she has the right to know." She could hear a familiar voice speaking in the garden even before she saw her face.
"You know I can't tell her, not yet." Another voice answered. "I need more time." Of course, she also knew that tone.
"Are you going to wait until she learned the truth from someone else? Would it be better if she heard it from you?" The conversation continued as she neared the garden, where three people were having a friendly chat.
Thanks
