SECOND FATHER

The Eps 24

The day changed now I sit enjoying the breeze under the guava tree in the yard of the house sitting so comfortably after a fairly draining school routine.

A bright morning started me to enjoy a moment alone time no schoolwork no friends no family will enter my mind this time.

I soaked my throat with a cold drink in a bottle I took from the refrigerator inside the house.

Mom is in the store with her youngest child and her husband who is none other than my second father, deliberately I refused their invitation to come along with the reason I was tired and wanted to rest but in reality I just needed time alone to pause the brain that always thought hard enough.

" Gwel?"

Call someone on their motorcycle.

" Aunty?"

I said as the woman with a sweet smile adorned her beautiful face.

" Aunty Yuk?"

Take aunt Mira after the bike stops perfectly.

" Angel hasn't had a bath Tan! Where are we going anyway? "

Ask me still in my most comfortable position.

" Tate wait five minutes for you to take a shower, no need to ask you just sit still behind Auntie!"

" Five minutes is enough for what Tan?"

" Here let's quickly do it you will regret if you refuse to invite aunty this time!"

Aunt Mira gave a little threat to make me tempted out of curiosity.

" Please wait Tan, I'll take a quick shower."

" Where's your mother?"

" They're all in the store! "

" You're not coming?"

I stopped and turned my head for a moment by showing off a lazy expression on Aunt Mira. He shook his head then with a hand gesture as if to drive me away quickly.

Ten minutes passed now I was ready in casual clothes like a woman sitting in the living room . Long jeans chime with over size sweaters that drown my body ! Looks great indeed but this is a model of the latest clothes for teenagers my age.

" Where are we going Tan?"

" We have to say goodbye to your parents ! Aunty doesn't want them to think someone kidnapped her son."

Said Aunt Mira when the motorbike she was driving went in the direction of the location of the store owned by Dad.

It did not take long now a store is quite crowded with some people who are busy pulling down goods from the car to a warehouse on the side of the building. Some of them I see some buyers are eagerly queuing up to ask for a note at the cashier that is none other than Dad.

Where's mommy? he was standing in the doorway of the warehouse with the employees who were busy carrying boxes filled with food some more carrying sacks of rice with sweat soaking his forehead.

" Hey miss? long time no see!"

Say hello to the employee who stood up and found me staring while waiting for Aunt Mira to come to mother.

" Yes, brother! "

I answered awkwardly and smiled with my teeth clearly visible.

" Sister ? I'm taking Angel away for a minute."

Pamit woman with hair tied neat .

" where are you going?"

" Not far ! It's a holiday anyway so it's not wrong for me to take her on a short vacation."

" Alright ! You guys be careful."

I sent a message to Aunt Mira. I didn't hear but the gestures of their mouths that might be such a conversation being spoken.

I didn't come any closer nor did I meet the scared mother of a little boy playing with an empty cardboard whining to come with me. Sometimes I get confused! She used to go out with my mom's dad but when I wanted to go alone it was always just kind of tailing, and it made me feel annoyed."

Aunt Mira came back with a smile on her face as she showed off two banknotes and gave them to me .

" Aunty asked me why ask for money from mom?".

I protested a little with my mother's sister's behavior.

" Don't be so bad ! Aunt asked him to just hold on to you, save the money well use it as necessary if it is needed . For our business out let Auntie treat you!".

Aunt Mira's lips open and close with a funny invisible if she is married because often my boyfriend asks for his personal number when I capture our photo in my social media story.
