The old mansion had been silent for a long time, its halls filled with echoes of memories and forgotten footsteps. For Bibi, this place was more than just a crumbling building — it was where his story began. When he learned that his mother was finally returning to the abandoned mansion, his heart raced with excitement, worry, and hope all at once.
As the sun dipped low, casting golden light across the broken windows, Bibi stood at the gate, waiting. Every small sound made him turn his head. The wind rustled through the tall grass, and distant birds called out, but still, he waited. His hands trembled slightly, holding onto the worn railing that once guided him through countless childhood moments. In that quiet, his memories came flooding back — laughter in the corridors, gentle lullabies, and warm hugs that once filled the cold rooms with life.
Then, at last, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the path. Bibi froze for a second, hardly believing his eyes. When his mother stepped closer, emotion overwhelmed him. Tears welled up, and before he knew it, he was running toward her. They met in the center of the courtyard, wrapped in a long, heartfelt embrace, as if trying to make up for all the lost time.
His mother gently touched the cracked walls, her eyes filled with both sadness and nostalgia. Together, they walked through the dusty halls, sharing stories, laughter, and tears. Every corner held a memory, and every memory brought them closer. Though the mansion stood worn and broken, the love between them felt stronger than ever.
That evening, as the sky turned pink and orange, they sat side by side on the old steps, watching the sunset. Bibi leaned his head on his mother’s shoulder, feeling peaceful and safe. The abandoned mansion, once filled with loneliness, now held warmth again.
In that moment, Bibi understood something deeply important: no matter how much time passes or how far life takes them, the bond between a mother and her child can never fade. It only grows stronger, waiting patiently for the day they reunite.
