⋆˚࿔♫⋆˚࿔ -- Was a part of Rumi still upset? Still angry? Still hurt? Of course. The woman who raised her, who was a mother to her when she had none, out and out rejecting a part of Rumi's identity the girl didn't have control over.
It hurt more than Rumi wanted to let on.
But also, there was a part of Rumi that understood.
Celine hadn't done so out of malice, Rumi understood and accepted that. There was no doubt in the girl's mind that everything had been done in an attempt to protect her. Was it a misguided attempt? It seemed obvious now.
Didn't mean that it didn't still hurt.
But seeing Celine, the woman who had raised her, who had loved her and taught her everything she knew, in tears? Rumi couldn't help but tear up herself. And hearing the words? The apology? The acceptance she was feeling?
It's all the girl wanted.
Eyes met Celine's, Rumi could see the pain swirling in the older woman's eyes. The girl's heart ached. The confrontation before had been so hard on Rumi, that much was true but she hadn't realized just how much it had taken out of Celine until this very moment.
Before Rumi even realized what she was doing, the girl reached out, wrapping her arms around the older woman. She wanted to say something, anything, but a small hiccup was all that came out as her eyes continued to well up with tears.
