After that terrible encounter with Robbie, I was so lost that I didn"t even know what to do, where to go. I was studying with the Omega welfare centre"s help. It was established as several male and female Omegas were abandoned like me. I got abandoned when I was 12, right after the sub gender examination. The result showed, I was Omega and dad and mum simply left me in the Welfare Centre. It took me a whole year to believe I was abandoned. The Centre helped me out with education, shelter, food and most importantly, heat suppressant medicines. Thanks to them, I made it till the high school. I just had a month before the exam when all this disaster befall. I gave my high school exam with a four months pregnancy. I pa.s.sed with flying colours. The centre helped me with my pregnancy too and I gave birth to Twen. A lot of Omegas gets raped and abused as those so called Great Alphas have no control over their urges. So, my pregnancy was no surprise. They were in fact surprised that I wanted to keep the baby as most don"t even want to see the face of the baby. Even though, the society was making an effort to make the lives of Omegas better by putting reservation for them in job and giving subsidies for the heat suppressant medicines, the society still looks down on us. They think of us as some digusting wh.o.r.es. Like we want to seduce and get ourself raped. This Alphas are never punished for this abuse and often the Omegas are only blamed for not being vigilant enough. What a narrow and awful mentality.
After the birth of Twen, I left the city with my degree. I started working several part times in a restaurant as a dishwasher, cleaner or Commis. That"s when I met Chef Samuel who was then a young Demi de parti Chef. He is a beta and took sympathy on me. I stayed at his place for two years till he got himself a girlfriend and I left. He helped me get a better job and also taught me all he knew about cooking. He also helped me get a diploma degree on cooking and baking. I owe him a lot. He never looked down on me for having a kid and being bonded but without my alpha. He is a very understanding person and I see him as my big brother and guardian.
I don"t know why I suddenly remember all this horrid 8 years of mine. Is it a premonition? I am thinking too much. As long as Twen is there with me, everything will be great.
I looked at Twen who was deep in sleep. I gave him a good night kiss in the forehead and went to the balcony for a smoke. I left my hair open to have the air blow it.
I really like this place. It was so peaceful and the people were so generous. It was also one of the few places that don"t differentiate between Alpha, Beta and Omega. But now I have to leave. I hope I can explain this to Twen.
I saw the smoke disappear in the darkness. It was tough, but I made it. I have made a good life for myself. I don"t know why all this old memories suddenly came back to me but I don"t want to remember it. The old city, the high school, the encounter with Robbie, the welfare centre, so many bittersweet memories but it all are in past. Now, I am in the present with Twen and a happy life. I have friends and a big brother. I don"t want anything else. Just few more years and I ll open my own restaurant. Then my life would come to a full circle. I smoked out and see it forming several shapes.
"Haaaaah, I should start packing"
I came in finishing my smoke and looked at the photo frame which had mine and Twen"s picture. I hope to provide Twen everything I can. I hope he doesn"t ever feels the need of dad. Because that"s one thing, I won"t be able to give him.
