I must've been crying loud because I saw my mom coming in. "Amado what's wrong? Don't cry I'm here now." She said rushing to me. "I found this..." showing the picture to her. "I forgot about him mãe, I really did. But finding the picture of us reminded me instantly of what he did." I told her by sobbing in her arms."I know it's been really hard for you my darling, but you need to move on. You need to show him that you're better without him." My mom told me wiping the tears away from my face. "Mãe it's been 3 years since he broke my heart, it's been 3 years since I last talked to my best friend, it's been 3 years since I genuinely felt happy." I bursted out crying on my mother's lap, she was stroking my hair, I'm definitely sure she was crying with me. Philippe did make me happy, but even the thought of Phil didn't really cheer me up. I was a wreck."You've got to be strong darling, love is such a cruel thing sometimes. You have to forget about him though amado, it broke my heart hearing you crying yourself to sleep for so many nights, you know you did the right decision moving here with us instead of breaking your heart in Brazil right?" Mom said to me gently, rocking me in her arms like I was a baby. "Yes I suppose it was the right decision, but I couldn't help it mãe- every night I thought of him and it just brought me memories of him and the good times we had together as a couple." I said with my arms wrapped around my mother, crying once again. "You experienced a heart break at such a young age hunny, the only thing this could mean is that God knew that you would overcome it, and be a stronger person. You are not going to overcome it if you're here, sobbing about that low life bastard while he probably has forgotten about you." My mom got up and stood near the door, I just looked at her with my jaw dropped. Damn, did my mom just say that? Never thought that words like that came from her. After all she was telling me the truth, her words finally got somewhere in my brain and worked. She was right. "Are you going to help me bake some cakes now?" My mom suggested, hoping I'd say yes. I nodded and she left my room smiling. ✨Mother's know how to solve everything✨
