You are an undeserving mother

Episode five.

Hannah was relieved that Joey is okay but this man, who is he? Why does she feel like he is somehow connected to her, like they have spent time with each other, she tried to recall but her head ended up hurting without any blink of memories with the strange man, she shrugged the thought off her head and rushed to Joey.

"Oh my God joey, I told you not to leave the car, thank you so much for saving my son." Hannah exclaimed breathing heavily with so much excitement, the man face remain cold, he didn't smile at all.

"Okay, can I have my son back?" Hannah questioned.

    "You are not having him back, either now or forever coz I'm gonna make sure of that." The man muttered with so much seriousness on his face.

"Okay, this is getting too much, he is my son, not yours so why can't I have him?"

Hannah asked sounding annoyed.

"Because you clearly do not deserve to be a mother, you couldn't even took care of this little man you left him all alone and he went around wandering on the road what if something had happened to him! I will make sure child services take him away from you!" He answered.

"What the heck! How dare you say that to me, do you have any idea of all the struggles and sufferings I went through before having my son? All I had to give up for him and you are just ranting nonsense, I was just been nice because I saw you with my son but that doesn't give you right in anyway to insult me, now give me back my baby!" Hannah yelled.

The man smirked, she felt her heart raging, him calling her an undeserving mother hurt her a lot, it brought back all the things she went through when she was pregnant, to raising Joey alone, to dealing with everyone pointing at him as someone who doesn't have a father.

    "You don't speak to me that way young lady, you don't know who I am or what I can do." He said slowly.

"I don't care who the heck you are, but one thing is certain, you are gonna give me back my son, right now or I will be force to collect him." Hannah replied with so much confidence, his eyes turned dark, he tried to act adamant but Hannah started dragging Joey from him.

"Let go of my son!" Hannah spat, just then his girlfriend returned.

"Babe, what's going on here and why are you holding that thing?" She questioned.

"Good that you are here, now tell this your arrogant husband or boyfriend or whatever to give me my son or else I will be forced to do something we all wouldn't want." Hannah answered.

"Babe, why are you holding that thing? He is so disgusting, give her son to her!"

His girlfriend wailed.

"You don't address him like that." The man warned.

"Whatever just give her, her son, she looked crazy and I'm scared she will hurt us, besides is not your problem if she doesn't care about her child." The girlfriend said.

He glared at Hannah with so much anger.

He then stared at Joey then gave him a little smile.

"I'm sure we will meet again champ, I will make sure to take you away from your undeserving mother." He muttered between closed teeth and finally let go of Joey, Joey ran to Hannah and hugged her, she refused to look at him, she carried him up and headed to the car, she was about to enter, then paused and turned back and look at the man, he also stared at her darkly, she opened the car, entered and the both car zoomed off.

She felt her eyes getting teary, his words hurt her, how could she even think she has a connection with someone so arrogant. She felt nothing but hatred for him, for judging her before getting to know her.

She felt Joey held her hand.

"I'm sorry Mom, I'm really Sorry." Joey said with a puppy eyes.

"I told you to stay in the car, I thought I had made myself clear enough, I can't believe you will ever disrespect me Joey, just take a look at how that man insulted me because of you!" Hannah half yelled, he bent his head down and started crying.

"Fine, you don't have to cry okay, I was just angry because you had disrespected me but it's okay, why did you left the car?"

Hannah inquired.

"His car was so beautiful, I loved it, I only wanted to have a clear view of it, I'm sorry, I wish my dad will come back and own a big car like this one day." Joey responded.

Hannah smiled at him.

"I'm sure that when your dad finally comes back, you will have all the luxuries in the world." Hannah beamed.

"I know Mom, do you think he likes me? Was he excited when I was born?" Joey asked, she remembered giving birth alone at a local hospital with no one by her side, not even a friend or a close family member, but she isn't going to tell that to Joey, he is a very sensible kid, it will make him sad 

"He even cried when I gave birth to you, he was so excited, that was why he left so that he will come back very rich and he will buy you all the cars in the world."

Hannah retorted even though she was unsure if that will ever happen.

After driving for some minutes, Hannah's car finally stopped in a frontage of a good looking moderate house, she stared around the street and she feel this was her place, where all her sad stories begun.

The driver pulled her boxes of clothes down while the other car stopped and Sarah Joined them.

"Ta-da!" Sarah screamed.

Hannah stared at her blinking her eyes.

"What's going on?" Hannah asked.
