At the same time......

[[[CP|W:723|H:493|A:L]]]"Why are you still so reckless? ”

"The ......"

"Why didn't you go home for so long when you went back to the center?"

"I ........."

"Do you know how much Selim and I miss you? I didn't even come to the phone for so long...... Even if you're busy with work, there's always such time, right? ”

"That...... Work ......"

"Every time and every time, I run quietly to the most dangerous places, never saying a word, even if I pass by the door to say goodbye or say hello...... Can't even do something like this? ”

"Yes...... Mother-sama."

No matter how awesome a person is, there are always things that can't be dealt with, and no matter how powerful a person is, there will always be someone who restrains her.

The same applies to Estes.

No, in the reception room of the Eastern Command, the most unscrupulous woman in the world was sitting in front of Estes, chattering endlessly......

"That...... Mother's ......"

Although I really want to explain that I haven't contacted my family recently, it's all because I have too much work, and there are a lot of confidential matters that I don't call.

But looking at the worried and loving mother in front of her, looking at her aging face and faintly visible white hair, the words that had reached her mouth were swallowed again.

"I'm sorry Mother, but let you cāo for me."

If there is anyone in this world who can make Estes take the initiative to apologize, it is probably only his mother.

In fact, after Leol's affair was exposed, long before his mother came, Estes was fully mentally prepared to meet the thunderous accusations from his mother and even cut off the relationship.

Growing up, Estes knew that her mother was a traditional woman who was a virtuous patron of the family, and she couldn't accept that she and her father were doing a lot of things and many ideas behind their backs. So I always can't say it, and I can hide as much as I can when I see my mother.

There is no other reason, it is just because he is afraid of his mother's mouth and bitterness.

'Mother is a good person, and she cares about herself......

How could Estes, who had been away from home once, not understand this?

Such a sincere apology shows that Estes really felt that her mistake was too big this time, and she was quietly waiting for the final storm to hit...... But......

"But it's so good......"

The storm didn't have a ...... at all

"You're back......"

The mother's trembling hands slowly reached over and took her disobedient child in her arms

"It's good you're okay......"

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and the president's wife hugged her child who had made her unconscious and cried.

"I have been like this since I was a child, colluding with your father to hide everything from me, leaving home for so long without writing letters, and your father writing to me on your behalf all day long...... It's the same with going undercover in Ishbal, obviously saying that he was just going to the combat unit, but he ran to the city alone...... Things in the south are the same, but when I go home, I don't say a word, and this time it's ...... again."

The mother's voice was very calm and reassuring, as if her daughter, who had been missing in the riot area for a whole week because there was no news, had finally returned safely, and like a nagging old woman who talked about the past endlessly, as if nothing more nagging was missing.

"My father wrote a letter on my behalf...... So you know it all? ”

All along, Estes thought that he and his father were hiding it well.

"I'm your mother, I'm my father's wife, how can I not know your thoughts?"

Thinking of the replies written by those husbands on behalf of their daughters, the president's wife wanted to laugh again

"Your father was born to understand women's minds, although he is very capable in work and career, but he doesn't understand women's hearts, and the letters he wrote are as out of tune as the love letters he wrote at the beginning~"

“……”

At this point, Estes suddenly wondered what his father had written in the letter...... Although this is not the topic of today......

"Aisha."

"Yes."

"You and your father are very similar in many ways, from personality to temper and personal experience, there are a lot of beliefs, you and your mother think very differently, this mother has known this from a very early age, so your mother never talks to you about those things, she just wants you to be healthy and happy. So that the mother is content. ”

"Mom's ......"

Looking at her mother's serene and gentle face.

Estes understood.

It was only at this time that Estes suddenly realized that her mother never seemed to talk to her and never asked about her work, because she had discovered early on that her daughter's philosophy was different.

That's why I chose to let go between the two options of grasping and letting go, that is, ......'

Listening to her mother's encouraging words, Estes's pupils grew brighter and brighter

She chose trust...... Trust me ......'

Although the concepts are different, although the personalities are very different, although the two people are stubborn and unwilling to give up their beliefs and persistence no matter what the surface is.

Although both of them are so stubborn, the mother still chooses to believe in herself, believing that she is now being censored by the military.

When the newspapers collectively scolded him as an 'executioner', his mother, who had a completely different philosophy from herself, still trusted her.

"Let's go home more often, have a meal together, talk to my mom about interesting things, play with Selim, and if you're tired, go home and take a break, no matter what time it is, there's your room at home, and there's your place at the table." Mommy is waiting for you to come home. ”

"Let me go home often, on a condition."

Suddenly it dawned...... For some reason, after listening to her mother's words, Estes felt that she had suddenly become enlightened.

The biggest stone in my heart suddenly let go. The people you care about the most trust you, and the things you worry about the most are suddenly gone.

"Pull out all the selim-grown watermelons in the garden, even the vines and melons, and never see anything related to watermelons and cantaloupes on the table every weekend, even their relatives melons......
