Several things happened after the interview.First of all sales of my books increased. People were surprised that a kid was writer of these books.

Second the government had to take some actions. After hearing about the child abuse in the orphanage,they had to something. It was not because they were sympathetic but because it happened to a person who mattered. To satisfy public, there were number of interviews held by several politicians claiming that necessary actions have been taken so something like this won't happen again.

And then there were people who claimed to be my long lost parents. They disgusted me. Few of them went on tv with their stories. Some of them even came to our home. We had to move to a hotel. A couple even came to my school. The man was drunk and the woman looked like a drug addict. The men tried to force me into coming with him. I kicked him in the balls. The security came. It was a good thing there were some reporters so they saw the whole thing. If the man filed a complain there won't be much of a problem.

My lawyers had to work hard. There were many claim law suits. But they won and even got us compensation or jail time for people who filed lawsuits. After few people went to jail, everyone came to their senses.

Important part, i started calling Maureen 'mom'. When i first called her that she cried a lot. I don't even know how long it took her to stop crying.

It happened at the school. There was something like a competition. Everyone would be given a topic on the spot and they had to speak about it. I did not want to do it but was made compulsory by the school. Everyone's parents were there. I had to sign many autographs. Maureen came too, she even bought a video recorder.

When my turn came i went on the stage, took the slip. My topic "Mother". Now as you know being a adult as i was it should have been easy. But this topic always made me stumble. I don't know what "Mother" was. Never had any experience. When people saw me just standing there, they started murmuring. Mrs. Lily announced my name again.

'Well my topic is Mother. I don't know what to say. I don't what a mother is. Is she the one who gives you birth? And then never care. Or is she the one who saves you when you are in trouble. Is she the one who feeds you with her own hands even when it's embarassing? Is she the one who makes you feel like a even when you are not? Is she the one who makes you embarass by kissing you in front of other kids? There are many little things such as these which makes me remember a person. Her name is Maureen Harper. My Mother.

Everyone stood and gave a warm applause. Some had there eyes wet.Maureen came on the stage and hugged me.

This all happened before we had to shift in a hotel. Right now we were getting ready for the first show of "The Sixth Sense".

Mom come on. How long? 

Just a sec Michael.

She looked beautiful. Not like a model or actress. Yet beautiful. We arrived at the venue. We saw David and Al. I greeted them. Then we entered theatre. Inside were many bigshots of Hollywood. Arnold, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks. Harvey introduced me to all of them. Then we all took our seats,the movie started...

As the lights came back on after the end you could still hear the applause. Many people even came personally to congratulate the team.

Harvey looked if he smiled anymore he would hurt his face.

In the end everyone went thereways and to wait  for the result of box office.
