Back Again

Chapter 9

Face-slap

After I shouted the words kidnapper from the top of my lungs, the adults came out and one even ran towards the panicking weird old man.

My face was dotted in sweat as I breathe roughly against the tree, my vision slightly blurry from running.

I don't want to be a hero anymore, I'm not going to act like it, never!

"Little girl, are you alright?" A middle-aged woman came to my side and offered me some water which I gladly took.

"Thank you Aunt" I said before chugging the whole bottle of water and almost spilling the contents inside it.

In the corner of my eyes, I saw the frightened fellow, his brows furrowed and his eyes teary from terror.  Well, that's one way to really learn the meaning of stranger danger.

"Little boy, where is your mother? Do you know where she went?" The kind aunt came to the little boy and gently asked.

The boy was silent at first before bursting into cries. Ugh! Now I really hate children! There's no remedy for it anymore!

Then a young woman came in and rushed off to the little guy shouting Rong Rong all the way.

"Rong Rong! Are you alright?! What happened? Did someone bully you?!" She even glared at the kind aunt and dared to look at me in audacity as if I wasn't the one who saved her young master.

Heh! While you were out and not doing your job well, I saved this young master of yours! How dare this maid-looking girl accuse me of something I have not done?! Does she know who I am?!

"Eh, eh, miss, this little girl just helped your young master avoid a disaster. She's his savior!" The kind aunt said but the maid remained ungrateful and even took the little fellow away from us.

Heh! Ungrateful woman! I won't act like a hero again! This world is just too unfair!

"Is the maid angry at me Aunt?" I asked out loud making the woman blushed beet red.

"I'm not a maid! This is my nephew! This rude girl, how could you say that?" She glared at me, her eyes clearly say that she's looking down on me.

The kind aunt also frowned at the woman but she was held by her daughter crying so she can only pat me in the back.

Seeing that I was abandoned by my only ally, she stepped forward and was about to say something when a group of people rushed in.

This is my chance!

"Uwaa! The maid is bullying me! Uwaa!" I cried out loud so that the people around can hear me and as expected, they step up for me, this pitiful little girl.

"Miss, you shouldn't scare a child much younger than you"

Yep, much younger and much more beautiful than this woman in front of me.

"Yes, yes, he's right, look at this pitiful child. She must have cried from fright"

Yeah right.

"One must be grateful for their savior, you didn't know your young master almost got kidnapped if it wasn't for this little girl"

See, crying will get you into something, and as a younger member of society, I need help and guidance from our very helpful adults.

I saw her face get so red she'll diffuse in a second. She glared at me but couldn't do anything so I stick my tongue out when the adults weren't looking and sure enough, she exploded.

"I'm not a maid! This young girl was too much! See! She's sticking her tongue at me!" The adults looked back and I reverted to the angel I was before.

"Wuuu, Auntie is bullying me, wuuu!" I shed a few more tears and sure enough, the crowd looked at the woman in contempt.

"Let's get you going little girl, you should go to your home now, it's not safe here" the policeman who was in the playground at that time said, he returned after giving the suspect to his colleague.

"Yes, such ungratefulness for this little angel!"

"Tsk, tsk, is this what the young people's behavior is nowadays?" An old man takes making the woman ran out in embarrassment, among with her is the little fellow who is still silently getting dragged on by her.

Soon, the uncle policeman wanted to find my mother so I can only lie and say that she's in here and that I was running off earlier. I pointed at a random woman and waved at her which she returned in confusion, he didn't try anymore, and soon, I was out of the playground.

Phew! That was such a day! I have experienced my first face slap in this child form of mine and it's refreshing!
