Her hands were on his fluffy hair. He stayed still. It felt good, probably the best moment of his life so far. She closed her eyes and started mumbling some lyrics from a song, a song that she had written many years ago. Back when she was younger. That was the only memory of her. The only one that Hugo remembered. His mother was resting in peace now. Hugo didn’t get a chance to meet his own mother. He erased her from his memory when he was only 9.
He was 11 now. It had been 9 years. He walked to school, came back, made his own meal, waited for hours, alone. His grandparents used to take care of him, but they kicked him out when he was 9. He returned to his home. Hoping to find his father. His father also desapeared two years after his wife’s death. Now he had no one by his side. Except his ancient teddy which was covered in dust. He knew his father wasn’t quite a nice guy but he sure wanted to meet him in some way. As expected, he couldn’t find his father. But that place made him feel all warm inside. So he wasn’t leaving. The cozy bed his mother had, the beautiful ring his father owned… Everything were still in their places. But there was something he was qurious about. The tiny box that was under his father’s bed. Hugo carefully got it out of there. Unwrapped the stylish ribbon around it and cleaned the dust on the cover. “Incompleted novel of missing people” was written with bold letters on it. “Missing?” he tought. He flipped some pages ’till he saw somethng that made him stop. Morse code. He knew morse code. So he translated, …. . .-.. .–. It was obviously help me. It continued .. — / .. -. / – …. . / .– — — -.. … .-.-.- It meant “Im in the woods. Hugo didn’t have a single minute to lose. He ran out of there as quickly as he could. He ran directly in the woods. He was wondering around. He finally had some hope, to find his mother, or should we say, father. He finally made his way to a cave-looking rock. He walked near. The thing he saw next was his father. He wasn’t expecting that. Neither did hid father.
Some time later, his father gave him the schocking news, his mother was alive but she wasn’t the Goddes who Hugo tought she was. She was the bad one at their relationship, that’s why he ran away. His wife found him anyway and treathened him. To never ever come back and see Hugo. That was why he left that note. But when years passed, Hugo’s father lost hope. But that loss, was a new win for both. And that’s how this story ends.
