The Affair With My Step Brother

Chapter 05's

Half an hour later, before dinner time. I got out of the room and walked towards the family room. Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch waiting for me.

Both of them look so friendly even though they are no longer young. Maybe because they are also newlyweds who are still her anget-anget. Hehe.

As soon as mom and dad realized my arrival, they stopped making out. Maybe they're embarrassed to be seen by me.

No wonder if for almost 2 months this mother has a lot of changes, especially in terms of appearance. Apparently when they were just the two of them, their behavior was like that. They are not like a couple of lovers who are bloated. Seeing them both really makes me happy and laugh in my heart.

After I took my seat on the single sofa opposite their table, my father started talking. At first it was just a small talk, but then my mother started to discuss important things that she wanted to talk to me about.

"Kei, since you're now living with your mas, I'm planning to sell you our house" said the successful mother, making my happy feelings just now slowly fade.

"Well, why sell, Mom? It's the late father's house" I protested.

To be honest, I don't agree with Mom's plan. In addition to the house is a house left by my late father, the house also has a lot of memories. Plus I still want to move there once mom and dad get back to town AB. I will never be able to stay one roof with Darren and his wife. It would be the same as killing me slowly.

"Listen to Mom's explanation first, son. You'll be graduating soon, and after that you'll be looking for a job, right?" said mother.

I just kept quiet hearing his explanation. I completely disagree with the plan, but I don't know how to say it. The main reason I didn't want to sell the house was because I still wanted to stay there. I also feel very comfortable living there, much more comfortable than living in this house even though my stepbrother's house is much bigger.

"Listen to Mom's explanation first, son. I think this way, since childhood right when your late father was alive, you aspired to open a cake shop just like dad. And you also inherited your father's talent. You are very good at making cakes. Blah .. blah ...." Mother explained at length while I was just silent listening to the conversation.

"We're planning to open a cake shop for you, Kei. We do not have the capital to open a business for you. It's just, that house is the house left by your late father. I thought by selling the house, you'd keep remembering your father, son. Mention how your father fought. The house was deliberately your father woke up for you," said the mother who continued to explain.

What is this mother talking about? Even if you don't sell the house to open a business for me, I will still remember my late father at any time. So don't ever use that absurd excuse to persuade me.

Long story short, after hearing the explanation from the mother whose length was incredible, I was finally forced to agree to sell our house.

From childhood I never aspired to be a career woman, doctor, police, PNS, or so forth. I just wanted to open my own cake shop, just like my dad did when he was alive. Maybe by having my own cake shop, I could have a reason not to go back to Darren's house. Yeah, good plan.

...****************...

I feel sad to be relieved to let go of them. Sad that I'm going to be parting again with mom, and relieved that I can go back home before the house sells out.

I just got home in the evening after driving mom and dad to the airport this afternoon. I smiled with relief as soon as I set foot back in this house, the house where I grew up.

I walked through room after room in our house. No tears in my eyes remember all the memories I had with my mother and my late father. From the time I was a kid until I grew up. This house has many precious memories. Memories I will never forget.

I entered room after room then ended up in my parents' second room. I took some pictures of the three of us. I will keep this photo wherever I will live.

I went into my room and sat on the side of the bed. I looked at my father's picture and wiped it with my finger.

"Well, Kei graduated college, Dad. Kei is now a scholar. If only now were you still alive, you would definitely be very proud of Kei. And one more thing, Kei will definitely learn more cake recipes on dad." I smiled after saying it.

Morning was approaching, and it turned out that last night I fell asleep hugging our little family picture frame.

I got up from my sleep and placed the picture frame on the table slowly. From now on, this thing will be one of the most precious things in my life.

I didn't know what to do this morning. I decided to contact Laras. I want to invite my best friend to go to the mall, but now we are still equally free and not preoccupied by any work after graduating from college.

But ... Where's my phone? I was looking for that flat object under the pillow, under the covers, on the table, under the bed, who knows my phone fell down there. Then the last one I looked for was in the drawer, but the beloved thing of mankind was nowhere.

Gosh darn.

I patted my own teardrop. Now that I remember, I must have left my phone in the next room, my mother and father's former room.

After I went to the next room to pick up my phone and check it, it turned out that the power was running out. I also saw 5 missed calls from my mother, 3 from Laras, and ... and .. ahem, 12 missed calls from my stepbrother.
