S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#132
The day is getting dusk, Andre and Lucy are cleaning up some equipment that will be brought home later. He also helped his girlfriend and grandmother Grace collect some vegetables that were harvested for sale early in the morning. For two days he was in Lucy's hometown, it was not good for him to linger there given their status which is only limited to ordinary lovers. Andre thinks of Lucy's good name in the village if he is too long afraid it will be a gossip between neighbors and make grandmother Grace uncomfortable.
Lucy and Andre sat on the edge of the cottage while staring at Grace's unfinished grandmother picking tomatoes.
"I'll tell grandma if we have to go home, it's dusk." Lucy said as she stood up from her seat.
"Wait a minute, let's leave it alone." said Andre as he pulled Lucy's hand.
Lucy sat down due to the pull of Andre earlier, she looked at the face of Andre who today has worked hard to help his grandmother in the garden. He didn't see Andre complaining in the slightest when grandma told him this and that.
"What do you want me to cook tonight?" lucy asked with a sweet smile.
"Whatever you cook I'll eat" Andre said, rubbing Lucy's head.
"All right then" said Lucy excitedly.
Shortly after, Grace's grandmother walked closer to them, indicating that she would soon have them pick up the crops and bring them home. But Grace's grandmother had not had time to tell her, Andre swiftly brought several baskets of vegetables and took a basket containing tomatoes in the hands of Grace's grandmother.
"Let me take the grandma." said Andre.
"Indeed you should take it, there's no way I'm gonna let you walk around with nothing." Grace's grandmother laughed.
Lucy just smiled at Grace and Andre's grandmother who was now much more familiar than when she first met.
"Let's go home soon, it's getting dusk. We'll be late for dinner if we don't get home soon" Grace said.
Before long they arrive at Grace's grandmother's house and they are slightly surprised by the arrival of a familiar man from their sight. Yes, that middle-aged man is Boris the father of Lucy. I don't know since when she arrived at Grandma Grace's house but the three of them were quite surprised by the man's arrival.
"Mama, I'm home" said Boris walking up to Grace's grandmother and hugging the old woman.
The old woman did not respond to the hugs or words that came out of Boris' mouth, an angry face on Grace's grandmother now appeared and dislike enveloped the entire niche of Grace's grandmother's heart at that moment.
"How's mom doing now? I've been waiting here long enough, where'd mama go?" ask Boris.
Grace's grandmother did not answer her son's words, she was really fed up with the charade that her only child played.
Seeing that all his words were not responded to by Grace's grandmother, Boris turned his gaze toward Lucy and Andre who were behind Grace's grandmother.
"Oh Lucy, Mr. Andre. Why are you here?" ask Boris pretending he doesn't know.
"I think you know we're here, so you're also following us out of curiosity about our true purpose, right?" ask Andre directly.
"-meaning? I-I don't understand what you're saying." Boris asked.
"I don't like to explain things in detail. You're so much better off with all your theatrics." said Andre leaving Boris.
Grandma Grace also left Boris who was too talkative, he was very aware of the nature and character of his son.
