My lovely PA (personal assistant)
episode 34
Grace's day-to-day activities are so much fun. Bathe Dylan, cook him a healthy meal and accompany him to school. Their family is still divided, and Dylan lives in Le Havre, his mother and sister still in Piana with Jack. Mr. Rodrigo finally gave the order to just gather at his house. For some reason into consideration family members also agree. Maybe it's time they were together as a whole family.
Grace was still busy preparing Dylan's clothes as well. They're leaving for Paris in the morning. This apartment must be empty without residents, but Grace has contacted the property agent to advertise the rental.
"Mommy, may I ask one question to you?" Dylan walked out of his room to Grace in the television room.
"Yes Dy, ", Grace answered without looking at Dylan's disheveled face.
"You promised you'd attend my graduation at the playgroup. But miss Anna asked the students to perform with the daddies. Who will accompany me mom? " Grace's activities came to a standstill when she heard Dylan's question. It didn't feel like today was going to happen, as Dylan began to question his real father's whereabouts. Grace turned to look at Dylan and was surprised to see her son crying without a sound. Grace immediately hugged her trying to give her some calm.
"Dy, I'm sorry mommy dear." Is this sick to see his heart miss the figure of the father? Although Dylan received a lot of affection from his family, it is clear that he still needs the presence of a father.
"No mom, why is mommy apologizing? Isn't an apology done to the wrong person, mommy hurt me?" Dylan let go of his embrace and then his tiny hand wiped the tears that had soaked his mother's cheeks.
"Yes, mommy is evil as you are Dy. Mommy hasn't been able to get you together with daddy. But Mommy promised you'd meet someday, Dy would you wait a little while? " Trying to give Dylan some understanding, Grace showered Dylan with kisses ranging from his forehead, his eyes, his nose and hugging him tightly.
"If daddy hurt mommy, I'd rather not meet him. Because I just want mommy, mommy everything for me." Dylan rubbed Grace's back, wasn't their role very reversed? It should be Grace who calms Dylan down, it's even Dylan who is able to calm Grace down. Liam and Grace are magical.
That night they slept together and looked at each other. Dylan would sleep separately from his mother. This particular evening he begged to hear a story about his father.
"What did mommy like about daddy?" Ah Dylan, he even inserted a word first into his question. He must understand now that his parents' relationship is not good.
"Hem,, she's very firm, but warm on mommy. Your daddy always stood up to protect mommy from bad guys. Sometimes daddy's mouth goes against his heart." Dylan brightened his sweet smile, he had chubby cheeks with his narrow eyes. Perhaps following Liam's genes, Dylan's skin color is also white unlike Grace's exotic.
"Do you love each other first ? " Grace was once again choked by Dylan's heartbreaking question. All of their stories did happen in the past, now Grace and Liam have their own lives.
"It's Dy's night, we better get some sleep so it's not too late." Grace pulled out a blanket to cover Dylan's tiny body. Without demanding much Dylan understood maybe his mother was not ready to tell a lot. Before closing her eyes, Grace and Dylan kissed each other in a good night.
In the middle of the night, Grace felt her throat dry from crying for a long time. He chose to go to the kitchen to fetch water secretly so that Dylan would not be disturbed. While sitting at the dinner table Grace's phone vibrated the sign of an incoming message.
"Mrs. Lim I'm insomnia." Said the dictator. Grace smiled, they were like having inner contact.
"Me too, "Reply Grace briefly.
"Can we meet? " After a long chat reply this time, the dictator master invited him to meet. Grace was afraid that her interlocutor was not up to expectations. It could be a middle-aged, or a responsible teenager of Alya's age. Just imagining it made Grace shudder in horror.
"Next time maybe, busy moving." Grace replied without wanting to offend him.
"Really's? Let me know Your new address." The request of the Lord Dictator has passed the limit of the agreement, they promise not to know the existence of each.
"You're too much sir, gonna sleep soon." Grace ended their conversation.
,,,,,,,
Grace and Dylan are on their way. Using their car is expected to reach the capital within two hours and a half through the A13 line. Understandably from the north to the heart of the city is quite far. Fortunately, Dylan and Grace had breakfast at a store near the apartment.
"Why sir? " Grace started to get anxious because they stopped on a motorist's deserted street. Looking back and forth, afraid that a criminal might be approaching them. "I'll check miss, maybe the tire breaks or the radiator's water runs out." The driver got out immediately, Grace should not panic in the face of this kind of situation. Dylan had just fallen asleep on his lap, how pitying he would be left on the streets.
"Sorry lady, it's my fault. Car's out of gas." If the problem of tire rupture can be replaced using a spare tire, the lack of radiator water they have enough beverage stock. Well this is running out of gas, obviously a big deal. Where can they buy fuel to continue their journey?
"Mommy, I want to pee." Dylan woke up feeling his mother's anxiety. Grace nodded then went out to pick up the potty in the trunk. He always used Dylan not to pee carelessly.
"Come on, mommy will be with you." Grace opens the car door and lets Dylan defecate a little further away from the car.
Luck may be on Grace and Dylan's side. A car from far away began to slow down. A glimmer of hope he could, it was possible that the person would help them. The driver drove the car from a distance far enough to help.
"Dy, let's go in first." Just in case, Grace is still worried that someone in the car might want to rob her.
"Sorry sir interrupted your trip." Grace's private driver bowed as the driver opened the glass. While a man sat in the back seat faithfully staring at his cell phone.
"What's wrong with your car? " Ask an athletic driver with slightly gray hair.
"We're out of gas, maybe you're kind enough to sell us fuel stocks. Poor young master and our lady will have to wait a long time." Grace's driver begged them to help. "Just give us Josh, I'll catch a glimpse of a little boy. I don't know when they should wait here. " Since his boss had given Josh permission to finally get out of the car, he walked into the trunk to pick up the conductor containing the car's fuel stock.
"Thank you sir, how much do I have to pay for it? " Grace's driver tried to be polite.
"Not bother, our master is being kind." Josh said briefly densely and clearly, he did not want to receive any reward or payment.
Feeling their business is done, Josh goes back to running the machine. As the car slowly passes by Grace, Liam is shocked to see the boy he met yesterday laughing with a woman. Unfortunately she can't see her mother's face, Grace happens to be sitting her back on the street.
"Dylan, "Lirih Liam looked back. "Master knows them? " Josh asked hearing his master mention one name. "Stop Josh's car." Because not far away Josh can only brake slowly. Liam got out of the car and approached Grace. Grace looked forward and found Liam starting to approach her. Right after the driver opened the tub Grace was looking for a way to avoid Liam.
"Mommy what's wrong? " Dylan saw his mother confusedly looking for something in the bag. "Dy, listen to good mommy well. Mommy started the flu and had to wear a mask, mommy's eyes also hurt in the sun so mommy wears glasses. So please don't ask anything ok?" Grace was too quick to deal with the emergency situation, Dylan nodded obediently just out of concern for the mother's condition. Right after Grace finished wearing the duckbill mask and Liam's sunglasses knocked on the window glass.
"Look, he's uncle nice and handsome." Dylan had a good memory, he still recognized Liam's face. Grace had to open the car window.
"Thank you, sir, for helping us. Have a nice day." Grace said in a slightly muffled voice by the mask.
"Yes, my day was really fun. I can meet a kid as smart as Dylan." Liam waved a greeting to Dylan who was smiling sumringah.
"Uncle Thank you very much, when I've been living in Paris later uncle I will invite to our house." Dylan said excitedly, Liam smiled wryly at Dylan's adorable behavior. "Well we meet Dylan." The driver had finished filling up the gas, Liam returned to his car. He must leave before he is late for the meeting.
Grace let out a rough sigh after making sure Liam had left in front of her. AC car had died making Grace overheated while wearing a mask.
"Mommy is so fast? " Dylan's chirp, Grace has already removed her mask and glasses. "The air's on Dy, mommy's healthy again." Dylan shook his head cluelessly, a little strange of the mother's behavior but he refocused on his tablet.
"We're leaving, miss." The driver started the engine and then gas hit the road.
Maybe fate led Liam to meet with Dylan today. Grace is increasingly afraid they will always meet what else the city of Paris is quite narrow. He can't stay hidden from Liam forever. Soon Liam will know the truth.
