Love is Second

23. Norra Cake Shop.

Highlight the worry Norra and Rosemary can't hide anymore. Because, it has been three days their store is quiet, despite having been completely renovated. Even today only one or two outside buyers come to buy their cake. It was not a regular customer, but just a person who happened to pass the road.

While the rest are bought by the neighbors, who may pity to see the store is very quiet.

Norra did not understand the reason the compact customers no longer came there. Bad thoughts begin to haunt Norra's mind.

"Mom, is this not the impact of Carlos? It could be that Carlos' men are secretly doing something to us!" chirps Norra suddenly. His eyes looked a little upset.

Rose immediately shook her head. "No way, son. What are they doing it for? Not by getting caught Carlos, his men will leave. Evidently, they no longer disturb this district."

Norra pressed her lips. "It can't be that easy, Mom. They're mobsters, there's no way they're gonna give up and back off that easy!" yells.

Rose breathed a sigh. The woman did not want to think badly, but it was possible that Norra's words had a point. "Then, what should we do?" ask her to the beloved princess.

Norra flinched for a moment. "I have to figure out why compact customers don't come to our store!" answer the girl.

"Let me help you, brother!" a teenage boy who just walked into their store. From the school uniform he wore, he must have just returned home from school.

"Alex!" exclaimed Norra, when he found the son of one of his neighbors coming.

"I was also curious, why this kind of Oma shop was deserted. Customers just disappear suddenly. So, let me help you figure it out" said the 18-year-old.

"You sure you can, Alex?" asked Norra with glaring eyes.

"Give it to me!" the answer is confidence.

Norra exclaimed happily. She and Rose thanked him, because the kind teenager was willing to help.

The students and schoolgirls immediately dispersed themselves upon hearing their school bell ringing. Norra, who teaches her class at the last hour, waits for them one by one to leave the classroom.

His eyes were then fixed on Willy, the son of the lover, Allen, who looked gloomy. The girl decided to approach Willy and take him out of class together.

"You look moody, Will. What was? Wanna tell a story?" ask Norra softly.

"I just miss Papa, Miss. I've been picked up by Uncle Bob for three days. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I want Papa to pick me up" Willy replied with a lethargic bowed face.

Norra stopped stepping and rested in front of Willy. The girl confirmed the collar of the child's uniform which looked irregular, then stroked her head gently. "Patience, Papa's coming home tomorrow, right?"

Willy nodded. "Miss doesn't miss Papa?" ask the boy plainly.

Red cloves adorn the face of Norra. Of course he missed his girlfriend. Although they were always diligent in making contact through video calls, it was still a longing that Norra felt was not treated.

"Of course." Norra smiled. "Patience huh? Tomorrow, after your dad gets home, you can be free with him, right?"

Willy nodded. "I want to take Papa to eat ice cream with Miss, can I?" tanyakanya.

"okay!" answered Norra excitedly. "Then you can't be sad anymore. Now, I'll keep you company waiting for Uncle Bob, but before that, we go to the office first to get my bag, huh?"

Willy nodded enthusiastically. The two walked down the school hallway hand in hand.

Norra is now used to hearing the pressure of several teachers every time she sees herself with Willy. Although no longer as sinister as it used to be, but still there are one and two teachers who still see it with one eye.

Norra doesn't care. After all, what he lived had absolutely no effect on their lives, so, for what he bothered to worry about people's scorn.
