"What happened, Nancy?" Her mother was reprimanding her "You're a stubborn child." 

"I'm sorry, Mom." Nancy was pushed down to her bed. "I didn't mean to do it." 

"At your age, you should do your tasks in school." Her mother was crying a little. She couldn't bear how much heaviness she was feeling. It was a night full of sadness and correction. "You'll be grounded here on weekends." 

"But, Mom!" 

"No buts, baby." The mother was really worried about her. Her fear about having a grandchild. 

"I need to do my project this weekend." 

"Then, don't come ever." Her mother was controlling her anger. Even she wanted to burst, she wanted to teach her child not to be stubborn like her. 

The atmosphere wasn't good. The heat was striking our bodies. It was a hot season which they were having a picnic at the beach. 

"So, are you going to be there?" Her mother asked calmly. 

"Yes. I want to go there."

"Make sure you're doing good or else, I'll break your body." Her mother was really serious about this.

"So, am I going?"

"Yes, but be sure you're in the right track." Her mother left her there. Delilah was calling Nancy.

"I understand, Mom. I was not careful." She regretted what she did for few days now. It was her fault. She made the trust of her mother destroyed.

Nancy's cellphone rang for three seconds. "Hello, Delilah. Where are you now?" Her mother was looking at her. "You're there." She went to the balcony and saw Delilah waving her left hand. 

"Let's go, Nancy!" She dropped the call and Nancy was hurriedly ran down the stairs. 

"Bestie!" They both greeted like they weren't meet yesterday. 

"I know that you're suffering." Delilah hugged her tightly. 

"Stop it. I can't breathe." Nancy tapped her back two times and freed her. 

"Let's go and have a great day!" Delilah waved her hand to Nancy's mother and hopped in in the taxi. 

The two were celebrating the holiday at the beach. The weather was windy and the heat was not that hot. 

"Come to our villa." Nancy grabbed her wrist and smiled. "This is my first weekend being free."
