Mysterious Mother

It had rained so heavy last night, she keeps dozing, and the warm bed had kept her sleepy. Suddenly Susan heard the doorbells ring, who could it be? She ponders. By the time, she got to open the door it had been quite a while. She reaches for the door and open it but there was no one around. Her gate was closed, who ever it be, must have left and gone. She could not explain to herself so she though must have been some newspaper’s boy. She was about to close her door when she hears a cry. She nearly have a shock - she try to listen again, yes! She was correct. Someone did cry but whom? She walk towards the gate and to her utter surprise and fear she could not believe, a basket in which lays the most beautiful baby she ever came across. Moments after that, is the busiest time of her life from calling the police to informing her parents. No one could explain about the child appearing in her life, but amazingly among that was the letter that someone had wrote and put near the baby. It was clearly written, in clean handwriting that whoever had put the baby in her gate had done it intentionally not just randomly. The mother’s wish as the police had presumed is someone who had known her and knows for sure that Susan was capable and the right mother for the child. But still, the police are taking all precaution and the right action by searching for the mother. The child as of now been kept in the hospital but sooner or later it had to be taken for adoption if no one show up to claim it, and Susan was being contact by the authority informing her about the situation. She was their first priority as the letter had address to her alone. But Susan had questions and they have to be answered. From the letter to the mysterious mother, everything had happened so sudden. At one point, she wanted to let everything go away from her life but at the same time she gets so trilled as to find the real mother. Who could have been? She searches her mind as to get the result. Her co-workers friend, no! it could not be one of them. She has not seen anyone being pregnant. Her neighbor’s, not them, cannot even guess among the people in the locality in which she was living. She needed help and that too quick before the time limit given by the authority expires for her. She consulted her parents and they were clueless about it, in fact they had their own point of views about her considering the child’s adoption. They present to her that it is not easy to raise a child alone and being a single parents is real hard especially if the child was not your own. Susan wanted to listen to her parents but she cannot brush away the baby’s either. She decides to herself, even if she could not solve the mystery mother she will take the child as her own to care and love. In the district administrator’s office after completing all the necessary papers for adopting the baby, as she hold it in her hand she felt so new inside of her. The arriving of the baby brings so much joy and happiness in her quiet and lonely life. For once, life has a meaning to her after so many years, she felt wanted now. Weeks passed, and she has been busy being a mother. Cannot cope with all the work alone, she hires a maid for helping her caring for her child while she is working. One day, as they were clearing her old room for the maid to move in, she came across her old school diary. Flipping the papers, one page caught her attention; in there she had written about one junior girl she met while returning home from school. As she keeps turning the page one by one, she found she did not note down anything more about that girl. That night, she could not sleep; she was trying to remember the girl name. Yes!! Namlee was her name. She was a rich girl, planning to shift to a new school the next year. But she was having a rough time with her life. Could it be her the mother’s of the child. She never could understand.
