Ray was upset and rushed to his room. He picked up his smartphone and sent Eshal a message. Typing and deleting she finally pressed the send button. 'it looks like mom brought a strange man home, how is this?'
Eshal is lying on his bed playing his smartphone. He saw a message notification from Ray and opened it. shortly after knowing what Ray sent he immediately sat down to see the message. 'You said back then that your mother had divorced right, could it be that you would have a stepfather?'
Ray saw Eshal's reply and immediately replied to him, 'mother said while he was my brother, but who knows if in the future he would suddenly become my father'
Eshal thought for a moment in confusion before writing down his question, Brother? how old is he?'
Ray leaned against the head of the bed while waiting for Eshal's message, but when he received it he was annoyed again considering the strange man, 'he was at least nine or ten years older than me.'
Eshal was more hopeful about that story. 'wow, you're going to have a young father, it's going to have an age gap of about 20 years with your mother. Your mother is so great?'
Ray almost throws his smartphone because a message from Eshal. holds back, he clenches his smartphone and replies to Eshal, 'no I don't want it, why should I have a new father? I don't need it at all.'
Hearing Ray, Eshal recalled his father's words that he heard first, 'but Ray your mother must need him, a companion. let alone when you grow up and you are busy, 'but Ray your mother must need him, a companion, who will accompany your mother when she is old, will she not be alone.'
Looking at the message from Eshal, Ray was stunned for a moment and thought. The words were indeed true, 'why did you suddenly speak so well.you will usually scold severely.'
Eshal smiled at Ray's message, replying, 'hehe, when my uncle remarried, I once protested to my father. I was even confused as to why my cousin allowed it, so father lectured me very long because of that. so Ray can you accept if there's a new father?'
'i don't know.' Ray's own thoughts are very chaotic at the moment, the confusion and annoyance mixed with the others make him not know what his decision is.
'alright, but if he's bad to you or your mother later, just whisk him away or you can turn him down and antagonize him if your mother doesn't listen to you.' Eshal was very strict with this writing.
'yeah.' Ray smiled because he knew it was Eshal's character.
With that Eshal clenched his little fist and snorted. He will help Ray if the strange man Ray says is bothering him.
Eshal then looked at the windowpanes and found his father coming home at this time. He immediately woke up, rushed out and found his father. He could hear that the kitchen was busy at the moment, it seemed like the mother was cooking in the kitchen.
Looking down from the stairs Eshal waited for his father. As his Father was below him he smiled gently at Eshal, "What a pity."
"Eshal Misses Dad." Eshal immediately ran towards his father and would help his father take the suit that was draped into his hands by his father.
"so Eshal just misses dad, what about mom?" His mother's voice rang out from the kitchen and made Eshal turn towards the kitchen.
"No Eshal misses mom, too." With the suit he was holding, he put the suit on the chair before going to the kitchen to get a drink for his father.
Seeing what his son did, the father shook his head. He came, tidied it up and sat quietly waiting for his son.
The father drank his tea before asking Eshal, "so what Eshal will tell him about the new friend you have. Eshal seems to like it, right, you always mention it on the phone when you're in the dorm."
"How did you know?" Eshal pouted as his father knew what he was going to tell him.
the father only smiled faintly at her.he knew that his daughter would only welcome him home and wait for him just like that when she wanted something or wanted to tell him a story. otherwise he'll just come down when it's almost dinner.
not because he is not good or something but indeed because his son is always lazy to go down and play with his phone. It is true they spoil this child, this child, but she herself did not want her child to be distorted and become bad as well.had good thing her son became a cheerful and energetic little princess until now.
so with that Eshal told her about Nico to her father except about the new father. He did not want to be the one who could not keep a secret. With their conversation, time passed quickly. The smell of food in the kitchen strengthens to indicate that dinner time is coming. So Eshal finished the story and went to help his mother set the table as usual and they ate together in harmony.
The Cardita family.
Aunt ifa who had finished cooking dinner immediately went to the study room to call her mistress first before calling the young master and master Nico.
knocking on the door lightly, Aunt ifa called her mistress over. "Mrs, it's dinner time, everything's served."
immediately a voice also echoed from inside the room in front of Ifa's aunt, "yes auntie. You can call the two of them to come down as well."
so with that aunt Ifa called her young master and master Nico.
Melisa came out of the study room and headed to the dining room.sitting, Melisa saw the food neatly arranged in front of her. From vegetable dishes to meat dishes are on the table in small portions, of course because only three people will eat this.
Aunt Ifa would go home in a small house behind the main house and eat with her husband, so she didn't eat here.
With the sound of footsteps, she turned her head, looking towards the stairs where Ray and Nico were descending. Ray with a pouting expression and Nico kept his head down.
Nico has lived in an orphanage since childhood, rough treatment has also been received.so he went to the Helingga family he also received rough treatment from his mother, who was a child, the indifference of her father and the ridicule of her classmates.she also faces the grand and small schemes of those who like Fiolyn.even though she is close to people, she is, later that man also turned away from him and defended Fiolyn. Nico who lives in such an environment has become more sensitive and cowardly than others.
That's why he's always positioned himself as low as possible and keeps apologizing for what he didn't do here. he did not want the good person to suffer from him and did not want the person to turn against him. His feelings of disappointment and sadness repeatedly made him experience Cherophobia.
Ray immediately sat down on the chair, though he was annoyed that he was holding him back at the moment. Melisa also calmed down immediately and started to have dinner. Only the sound of the collision of spoons and plates filled.no one spoke made the air also silent at this moment.this was in stark contrast to the harmonious and warm Eshal Family.
Cherophobia: Fear of happiness. Believing that whenever something good happens to them, bad things follow.
