'It's good that you are here.' Mrs. Ashbluff's voice pierced from behind, distracting both puzzled Amethyst and surprised Goldie. The both look at the woman who now have a condescending yet disgusting sneer at the corner of her lips.
'Mrs. Smith, warn your daughter! …. Your greedy poor thief! …. This crazy riff-raff to stay away from my son'
'And who the hell are you?' Goldie fired back, her eyes angry. Yes who the hell is she? How dare her call her daughter those dirty names right in front of her fearlessly. Though looking at her face and profile, she already know that it is the face of the woman that was printed on almost every bit of political magazine, the first lady but… what right does she have to open her rotten mouth to hurl such insult on her daughter, right where she was.
'Ask the stupid thing behind you, I owe you no explanations. The only thing I want you to stuff right in your damn skull is that: my son is not for you. You don't deserve him, he is too precious for you…
'What's going on here Ammy?' feeling at a loss, goldie turn back to look at Amethyst. What son is she talking about? How did she and the first lady of the country know each other? Amethyst on the other side, diverted er gaze and look down at her feet, biting her lips in regret.
'i… i… I'm sorry mom… I wasn't planning to keep it a secret from you, its just fort the mean time… i… Nathan… the person I introduced to you as my reading partner… truly, we are reading partners but… he is also…. He is the dangerous university boys you've warn me about… he is my boyfriend. He truly…. We don't mean to hide it from you. He had want to come to see you personally but… e planned to make it a surprise after school. We didn't know that things wuld turn out this way. But believe me, he is a good guy, he is not that dangerous and he look forward to meeting….
'Ammy why! why did you do that? Why would you fall for his lies? Why did you keep secrets from mommy? Why?' she cried, her voice filled with disappointment, anger and remorse.
'I'm sorry mom but… I love Nathan and he loves me too so please help me to beg her. Just let me stay woth Nathan, I would do anything in return. I won't keep things away from you again. I would work twice as hard, I would do just anything just please…..
'You are no match for my son. NEVER! I would not let you both get together.'
'Ma'am please, if I've offended you in any way before, please forgive me. I would turn a new leaf. I promise you won't regret letting me be wit Nathan. I would be a very good girl, just let me be with Nathan.'
'Prove yourself useful' she cut in while Amethyst paused, drying her tears.
'How? In which way? What should I do?' she asked, curious.
'Nathan had a kidney failure, donate one of your kidney to him. His eyes sight is badly injured, donate one of your eyes to him. And be a good girl, donate half of your liver to him, it would grow bigger and back to normal one day.' She stated while it dawned on Amethyst, her eyes scared. If Nathan alone had such problem, how is he right now? Would he be fibe? Is he in pain?
'If I give him all these, would he be fine? Would he be okay? Can we stay together?' Amethyst asked while
'Really?!' Mrs. Ashbluff exclaimed, eyes popped out but…
'NEVER!!!' Goldie screamed, distracting Mrs. Victoria Ashbluff.
'She would never donate anything to your son you this greedy chick! Cheap slut! She-devil! Inhuman demon! You are a thief! You want to steal my daughter's organ! Over my dead body. I will never her succumb to your wishes. You will not succeed.'the sharp mouthed mother yelled and grabbed Amethyst, pulling her to the back.
'mom i… ' Amethyst tried to say something but Goldie turn to look at her and shouted fiercely.
'Never! Don't fall for her lies. She is using Nathan as an excuse. She wanted to steal your organ for something else. I would not let you stay anywhere close to this monster. She is dangerous. Let us go home.' She said and pull Amethyst away, walking her toward the exit of the hospital while Amethyst keep turning her head to look at Mrs. Ashbluff till she could no longer see her.
Mrs. Ashbluff sneered as she watch them exit the hospital.
'Well your mother is quite wise.' She mumbled to herself, her finger tapping her folded arm. Her mission was nearly accomplished but that monstrous sharp mother that she has ruined it all. She turn back to walk away but she paused when she saw the man that helped nathen to the hospital.
'Are you that jobless to still be around when they already left? Get the hell out of her and run along to mind your love life.' She said, rolling her eyes while the man stood still, not budging.
'isnt it obvious that she truly love your son?'
'shut the hell up and don't meddle in my private affairs. Go mind yours!' she hissed out loud and walk away. Everything is just messed up today. She had nearly lay her hands on the kidney and liver but that bastard mother came and destroy everything.
*****
**Goldie's Apartment**
Sitting at the edge of the bed, she had her head bowed, looking pale and dejected. She had cry out her eyes that tears refuse to come out again, already dry from the source but her heart is still bleeding. All what Mrs. Ashbluff mentioned, did Nathan alone need it? How is he now? Is he fine? Is he still gonna make it? She felt scared and worried, damn confused. Should she donate it all to Nathan? That way the both would have one eye each, one kidney each and half liver each. But their love journey would continue. They would hold hands and cuddle like before. They would smile and walk hand in hand, the both would have an happy ending that way. It's great, is it not?'
'Amethyst.' Goldie called as she walk into the room while Amethyst quickly wipe away her tears.
'Are you thinking about him again?' she sighed as she asked while Amethyst look down at her feet, avoiding direct glare while tears rise from the source again, flooding down her cheek.
