Chapter 4
What is it Brother Christopher? "I asked my old brother when out of the blue ask me a favor. Knowing this brute, he doesn't ask help. That's how high his pride is. Buy me a milk" he declarative said. Brother, when did you drink milk?" I have a surprising question here. He loves coffee. Because he is so addicted to coffee, at noon he is still brewing coffee. Idiot! Not for me. It's for your nephew!" He hissed angrily. Very hot-headed. Why did I become this stupid brother. When I heard that it was for my nephew who was over a year old, I immediately smiled.
Alright. My purchase" I held out my palm in front of him while grinning.
Fuck you" Its crunchy cheap to me. I, on the other hand, am glad because it looks so irritated. It's our way of bonding, teasing each other.
It's you. You're so busy and you forgotten about your child's milk" I'm still to blame here. But I know he's really busy because of the Donovan Shipping line that Dad has passed here since Kuya got married.
Yeah I know. You know Astrid is still sick" He muttered sadly while his appearance was very troubled. Astrid is his wife.
She'll be fine too" I answered seriously and patted her back a little before going out of their house and looking for the nearest milk store for my nephew. It may be hungry, but its fat cheek is unfortunate.
From the milk section where I was standing my eye caught Hera. But maybe I was just mimicking so I kept reading the levels of milks so I would know which ones were good and nutritious for a one -year -old.
But I couldn't help but look up at where I had seen my student I was trying to remove from my system. The woman became the reason why my head hurts now because of the hang over. I want to make sure he can do that. Carrying a large carton of milk, I immediately approached him.
"Hera Lopez" I called. I could clearly see he seemed stunned. Before slowly facing me. Sir Clinton" She softly muttered almost a whisper. I couldn’t help but sneer when it seemed like another part of my body had come to life. Fuck this little innocent girl.
She's making me insane.
What are you doing here? "The young man asked the girl who was biting her lip for some unknown reason and was nervous in the young man's presence. She did not know why her heart rate was doubling. She felt that she was running out of gas breath.
Normal, grocery shopping" Hera flatly replied. I almost facepalm. She's here buying grocery because this is fucking a grocery store. From the headache, now I am also becoming stupid because of him. Because I was a little embarrassed there, I looked for a way or something to change our topic.
why is there only one bag in your push cart?" It immediately questioned me. I looked at my push cart with only a bag of lollipops. I'm just pissed because I don't know anything about such things. I don’t really know what I’m going to pick up. "Eh, I don't know which one I'll pick up from those" I pointed to the goods. My professor just stared at me intently. He looks very serious.
Let me help you" Sir Clinton casually offered. My face immediately lit up because of what he said. "Really Sir? I'm not bothering you?" The girl asked cheerfully Of Course not" Immediately the young man answered seriously, forgetting his nephew's milk. "Don't do that, it's not fresh anymore" Sir said immediately seriously when I picked up a bag of oranges. I just smile because he knows a lot about shopping for things like this.
He almost put the groceries in my push cart. Tondo I just picked up the candy I was passing by. That's why he immediately returns it to the one I took because he said it was too sweet and not good for health. The two continued shopping when the girl suddenly stopped so the young man also stopped walking. Hera doesn't know how she will feel after she feels that her baby bra has been hooked. It seemed to come loose because it didn't fit him anymore. Why?" The young man immediately asked. The girl looked at her chest and because her t-shirt was Fited, she could clearly see her slightly raised bra. He could no longer cover up what he was facing that he did not know was growing. The baby bra she was wearing was bought for her by her dad last year. The young man, on the other hand, followed where the girl who was looking at him was immediately shocked by what he saw.
Uhm, Can you- hook back m-y baby bra Sir?" Stuttering, he asked for the girl's favor. He does not know what to do . The young man seemed to regret what Hera said. How can this girl disappear from my system? The young man asked himself a troubled question.
"Sir please" Hera pleaded again as if asking for a little favor. Its eyes are so innocent it seems unaware of all that is going on around.
And because he might not be able to control himself and what he could do to the girl because of what he saw he immediately pulled her to the part where there were not many people. Then she turned it around and narrowed her eyes at the hook of her bra. He frowned sharply, not only did he unhook his bra but his hook was really damaged.
Who said that the size of her boobs is only childish ?.
He may be a minor but he knows that his body shape will pass by the age of twenty. It's not just tall and up to his chest but he has a very nice body. That any man would be mad, and would want to possess the maiden.
"Sir!" I don't know if it's a shout or what. I don't know what to call my feelings when it seems like sir is just a statue while his hands are still clinging to him.
"Is it okay?" He asked politely again so that he could get away from the young man. Because it was as if something warmed him the moment his hand touched her skin.
"You bought a new one because the hook of your bra is broken" He was a little surprised because of the coldness of his professor's voice. He didn't know if it was anger or what.
Suddenly, the tone of his speech seemed to change. Lately, even though his voice was serious, he knew that he seemed to have gotten a little closer to it. But it's always like that, every time they get a little closer, it will suddenly change its behavior as if it doesn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Wear this" Its simple and cold command to me. I looked at the jacket he was wearing earlier. So it's just a simple white t-shirt.
Its body is so wide that it looks like it can crush you. That is also one of the reasons why he feels nervous every time he approaches it.
I immediately accepted what he offered me. After I put it on I looked at him. It just stared at me as it stood still.
This again, these again are the kinds of stares that make me weak. I don't know but I feel like I did something wrong to him. I was slightly taken aback, scared by the way he looked.
I should leave" he muttered while still looking like that. Its eyes have no emotion. Then it walked away.
I stared at the receding bulk and noticed that it was carrying cardboard. If I'm not mistaken it's milk cartons. For whom is that so. Ah maybe it was for him. Alas, in the darkness of its gaze, even though it may have bloomed a lot of milk, it will not be able to shine its appearance.
I walked over to the counter because I had nothing more to buy. Then I hailed a taxi to go home. Crossing the road home suddenly my head hurt. I wanted to scream because it was so painful but because I was just inside the taxi I was choked by biting my lip. My vision is starting to blur. What I didn’t expect was that as I approached the pain so many vague scenarios successively entered my mind. It’s so blurry that I can’t see them well.
"Didn't I tell you not to come out!" The lady shouted at the child.
"You are so stubborn that you can now taste severe punishment" He added while his eyes glazed over. It hurriedly picked up the belt M-mommy ko the four-year-old boy as the lady hit him hard with the belt.
"I'm not your child!" It screamed as it successively unleashed its powerful blows of the belt on the four-year-old girl. Please mommy stop" The child could hardly express his pleas properly because every time he uttered a word, the belt hit him hard.
"Stoooop!"
The driver immediately turned his back because of the loud shouting of its passenger.
"Ma'am, are you all right?" The girl asked a worried question. Because he could clearly see the fear in its eyes.
Hera's heart kept pounding until she reached their house. He was unable to answer the driver earlier for fear he felt that until now was still not gone. Her heart ached and she seemed to be hurt by the sudden entry of that worry into her memory. He didn't know where they came from. Is he that boy ?. The many questions in her mind as she was forced to get to her room because of the soldering she was feeling.
"Baby are you ok?" Her father asked worriedly as they ate dinner. The girl lowered her spoon slightly before shaking her father. The truth of the matter is that he has no appetite. He just insists because his dad doesn’t like it when he’s not eating. He wanted to tell what had happened to him before so he was overcome by fear. If that is really what happened in his past, he would prefer not to know it completely. But he also knew that he would not be able to keep quiet until he knew everything that had happened to him before he went into a coma. He felt something was missing from him.
I'm fine yet" He replied instead. He didn't usually lie to his father but he didn't want it to bother him anymore. But her father was still not silent.
You know you can tell me everything". Later. I have many questions for you" He replied to his father before looking up at his father. At the same time as he looked up, he was overwhelmed by his father's great fear do you remember" Her father didn't finish from speaking. It swallowed as if afraid of any possible answer to it. Its hands also trembled slightly. He shook his head at his father even though he couldn't understand why he reacted like that. He held his father's hand.
"Dad, I don't remember anything yet. And whatever happened when I was young, I don't want to remember." Her expression was soft, she said to her father. The father shook his head "I know the time will come when you will remember everything because that is part of your personality. It has only disappeared a little, but your doctor says you will remember everything too. If it was just me I don't want you to remember that son. I don't want to. I want you to be happy and have no fear of the past. How could I wish you wouldn't remember your childhood memory "His father cried.
While still shaking. Was it that hard he went through when he was young? Why did his father seem offended at the thought that he remembered everything? . He had a lot of questions but he couldn't ask his father.
Her tears were enough for her to say that even if she asked her father, he would not answer. Besides, he didn't want to hurt his father. If by refraining from remembering everything his father would be reassured that he would not ask his father what had happened and what kind of child he was when he was young Dad, take a break" He smiled at his father. He shook his head while smiling. "I'm going to wash the dishes"
I'm still here" He said happily to his father.
No baby. In this house you are the princess, means no households chores for you" The father replied then he started to squirm. The son, on the other hand, blushed at what the father had said Papa! I don't know what to do because you don't want to help me. Do you know that my other classmates laugh at me because I don't know anything at all." The father blinked. Did you just yield to your old man?" This question to the child was unbelievable.
"No!" Hera's answer was angry. Her father babysits her so much that she doesn't know much. "Now you are angry with your old man" He immediately felt guilty You're daddy, you're babysitting me too much"
Because you are my baby princess" replied the father. "And you are the King" he laughed at his father.
All right, I'll let you wash the dishes now" Father agreed. He immediately jumped for joy and hugged his father tightly night my King "He said to the father. The father just messed up his son's hair before kissing him on the forehead.
night my baby Princess" While washing, the girl thought. In this house my father said I'm the Princess and he is the king, but king should have his Queen.
