On a hot Monday afternoon, I got a call from my mum. She wanted me to come to California immediately because she found out that she had a kidney problem.
I knew I had to go home immediately. I had not been in California since I left, but over the years, I made sure that my parents and my younger one visited me in Los Angeles twice a year for one week. It was always during the holidays, and I would rent a short apartment and pay for their transport tickets.
Those were good times, but now I had to go to California. I didn't expect a sick woman to come and see me anyway.
I knew I would be gone for two months or more, and I was devastated to be away from Benjamin for that long. I had been seeing him for 5 months on the low. Apart from Angel nobody else knew about it, not even Sada.
