Oskar

You had an enemy named Oscar. He was a cold and rude person, insanely handsome, tall, and muscular, but frigid. Although he had his reasons for being this way, with you, he crossed every line.

He did terrible things to you. He blackmailed you, humiliated you in front of your friends, swapped your tests with his, and so on... This infuriated you, and although you knew Oscar's weak spot—specifically, his late mother—you never spoke of her; for you, that would have been too low.

Oscar had a younger brother, David, who was 7 years old. This year he started first grade at the same school as you and Oscar. Oscar was already 18 and could take full guardianship of David.

One day, you stayed late at school after classes. The school was already empty, everyone had left. You were heading down to the first floor when suddenly David bumped into you; he was tearful. At first, you didn't recognize him, so you crouched down to see what had happened to David.

• Why are you crying? Where is Oscar?

David: I don't know... he forgot to pick me up.

David wiped his eyes with his tiny hands. You gently rubbed David's back.

• I'll call him right now, just wait, don't cry.

You called Oscar. He only answered after two attempts. Once he picked up, you explained the whole situation. Oscar told you to wait for him in the school hall, which is exactly what you did.

He arrived a few minutes later, took David, and left without saying thank you; only David waved goodbye to you.

The next day, you received a message from Oscar that read: "David asked me to tell you thank you for not leaving him. And he asked if you could come visit us today. Let me know if you can."

You replied positively to Oscar's message, and an hour later, you were standing on the threshold of Oscar's apartment. He opened the door for you without greeting you and walked deeper into the apartment, leaving you in the hallway. Immediately, David ran up to you, shouting:

David: Mommy!!! Hi!!

He instantly threw himself into your arms.

• Who am I?

You asked this in surprise.

David: Well... mommy. Oscar said that you are his future wife, which means you're my future mommy.
