Chapter 3

"I do not believe you! "

"Grandpa always sees you even when Cloui and I are there, but we are always second on his list Catherine you are the only one who is important to him! " Nathalie added with a chisel in her throat.

"You're wrong Nathalie Grandpa isn't like that... if you want I'll talk to him," Catherine depends on Nathalie.

"For what? To widen the role of Grandpa and I'm the bad girl to his sight! " Nathalie replied in a loud voice.

"Nathalie what? Why are you like that? " Catherine asked upset him.

"Is that still being asked? you are always the good and kind in Grandpa's eyes. Everything you do and decisions in life approve of him as well as having a boyfriend that's how you are allowed without even having a background check on that man if he is good or has bad intentions towards you! " Nathalie said.

She took a deep breath.

"Whatever Grandpa's reason is.. that's him and you know Grandpa you can't just win someone's heart if he doesn't have a strong reason.. you heard what was said earlier, didn't you? " Catherine replied calmly to Nathalie if they were both hot-tempered and raised their voices it would not be okay to cause a fight.

"Hey! What I heard shouting here aren't you ashamed someone can hear your argument! " Cloui, interfere with them when she approached.

"What's your problem Nathalie and are you fighting with Catherine? " She confronts Nathalie.

"You don't care and don't even bother with it! " She said annoying Cloui.

"Hey, I care! We're the cousin you're fighting," She said.

"Shut up! we are not her cousin. Don't forget that, Cloui!" Nathalie said aloud to it.

"Even though! it's still not right for you to shout at him," Cloui, said to her.

"Whatever! you two together!" She said once behind them.

Cloui, sighed, facing Catherine. It was just quiet. Are you okay? " She asked, worried.

"Yes, I'm okay," She replied, Cloui. While she's staring at her.

Catherine took a deep breath. Just go back to her memory of how she found out she was adopted and that she was not the real child of Daddy and Mommy.

FLASHBACK:

"I'm sure Mommy will be happy with this gift I brought for her and I'll wish her a happy Mother's day," She said. 

The fun she got out of the car she didn't wait for the driver to open it. She opened it because she was excited to give her surprise to her kind mother.

Her parents did not know she was coming home early. Because she didn't say she wanted to surprise her. But she didn't expect it to surprise him.

She saw her mommy crying while talking to her Dad. She thought the couple was just arguing that she shouldn't hear. So she decided to give the gift to her mommy later. Maybe she'll be relieved after seeing the gift for it.

But when she goes outside. She heard her name and mommy's crying as if there was a big problem and she couldn't help. But be curious about their conversation. Especially about him the topic even. If it is wrong to listen to the conversation of adults. She was still tempted to listen. I wish she hadn't listened.

"That's not true! She's my daughter.. she's our daughter Harvey!"

Crying Carolina said to the spouse.

"Carolina.. even I didn't believe what Daddy told me at first. But Daddy said she's not our daughter! "

"No! Harvey! She is our daughter, I felt that. Maybe this is a false suspicion of Daddy. " She said unbelieve.

"Carolina, you can only say that because we already love the child we think is our child! " He tries to make the wife aware of what is happening.

"If she is not our child! Where is our real child? " She still sobs.

"I don't know Daddy is still figuring out where we are and how other kids got to us," He said.

"Why is this happening to us? Poor Catherine. She thinks of us as her parents," She said.

She mixed the feelings of that time. She did not know how she would accept that she was an adopted child and that her real parents were not the ones she recognized. Her world seems to have collapsed with what she knows everything. She's adopted!

She couldn’t help but cry and be hurt by what she knew. She regretted now that she would not have listened and that she would not have known that she was an adopted child. Before they knew she was at home and listening to their conversation. She left the house and she didn't know what to do next now that she knew she was adopted.

But Mommy noticed her and she immediately called Catherine. She ignored it. She went straight out of the house. She couldn't face Mommy. Not now! She did not stop walking? Until a taxi passed by and she immediately stopped it and then she got on. She stayed at her friend's house, Alysia's condominium and there she let go of her resentment.

"All of the people, why me? " She said knowingly.

Alysia just quietly listened to him. As she releases resentment. All her life she had no other thoughts of what she had now. The whole family and prosperous life. She can no longer ask God that she has a happy family and they love him. She was so happy that she was content with such a setup. But when she found out the truth. Her world collapsed in such pain that you will only know one day that they are not family members.

She was full of wine. She cried non -stop, her tears came out even more as if she was sympathizing with the heavy problem she was carrying in her chest, The painful truth that she wanted to think that it was just a bad whimper! She will wake up tomorrow everything is okay. That's the right

the thing to do, maybe it's all just a bad dream and she wakes up tomorrow with nothing left.

"Catherine, that's enough. You drink a lot of alcohol, maybe later you'll be able to get there," She said worrying her friend.

Nothing made the drinker seem tireless. She could feel the pain it was carrying right now. She understood this. Anyone in Catherine's position will also be hurt that what you think is your own family is just a fake. You don't own them.

"I want to die! What will happen to me now all my life they are the family I have known, but why now I'm ashamed to face them all and I have nothing to look like to face people? "  

"Why do I feel this way? Why the pain so much!"

"Uhm, maybe it's just now that you feel like Cath, but when you hear their sides you'll be able to accept everything, then you're at the right age and you can stand out from yourself. If necessary and in case you don't want them to be in the same house that's if you can afford it.."

She took a deep breath and wiped the tear from the side of her cheek. " What about Mom?" Nothing in question.

Alysia sighed. " Maybe you also need to talk in-depth so that she also knows your side whatever decisions you make after this happen," She said

"Wouldn’t she be hurt, if I told them? I find my real family and where I come from and who they are! What kind of family do I have? "

She said, hesitating about what she would do next. She remembers Mommy is the first to be hurt, it was not her fault, and even if she was hurt by what was happening.

"Do you think, you did not hurt him? Cath, how many days have you not come home and not talked to any of them? "

"Why are you tired of listening to the drama of my life! " She said Contributing.

"Of course not! I'm just telling the truth. Then, even if you cry there all year. It's okay with me. Just don't be strong, my youngest will wake up," She said smirking.

"You're serious! It's all year! I've been out of dehydration. But you're still happy to be happy in life. Uhm, how long have I been happy in life as you?" 

"I'm just making you laugh. Then you can also achieve it with the person who has a connection with you who has a spark! Even if you can't take a bath, staring at him all year, that's okay, that's fun..." She laughs.

"I wish he had come and I just wish he had.."

"So.. how is that okay there? Do you want to face them all the way, because I'm already disgusted with them! "  She's said, joking.

She nodded and took a deep breath.

She is gathering strength so that she will have the strength to face them all.

"Thank you there you are listening to me, what if you are not there. Maybe I will go crazy,"

"It's just a chick, you have a problem, Cath! but your world collapsed immediately. What if the problem you face is bigger than that you might commit suicide,"

"I don't know, maybe..." 

"You need to be strong Catherine whatever happens come into your life and how it's big the problem you can face it all," She gives her good advice.
