Someone To Have

19: Forgive ME Not?

"I'm sorry" he chants to his son unable to stop his tears. "I'm sorry, I will never do it again, Cale, please forgive me, please" he chanted to the boy crying as he kneel and cling to the boy's side.

Violan calmed down a little, after dragging her husband into the room.

Cale was not looking at his father, he was looking at Violan, like he is questioning her 'why?'

Violan stared at him fiercely as it says 'dont be a coward like your father!'

The both are being cornered, one is crying and the other one couldn't cry, just panicking inside 'what to do?! What to do?!'

Violan waited for the two to calm down.

"Cale, Cale! Waaaaahhh!" Deruth cried. "I'm sorry I dont deserve you, son, waaahhh"

Cale had enough, his ears might bleed from hearing much cries.

"I wonder what should I do, mom help me" he communicated to his mother.

"Baby pie, just make sure he will not interfer to what we will do" the younger Jour answered.

"Just make him calm down, he looks like he lost it, I dont have anything for him anymore after dying, only you matters my child, just do a right scene for good" the older Jour answered.

'Both are vicious' Cale mentally noted.

"Father" Cale called him with his last strand of respect to him.

Sniffing off his nose, Deruth looked at Cale.

"Cale, my son..."

"I have to move, you're heavy" Cale continued. He also meant that Cale is leaving and Deruth is a baggage.

"I'm sorry" 

"As you already knew, father, I changed my last name, it was for good, Basen will be better Count than me"

"But... Is it also a promise to Jour?" He asked

"Hm, I promised mother I will follow their legacy" Cale answered nodding

"Is that so.... I couldnt even win a bet with her" Deruth surrendered 

"Because you're stupid" older Jour chimed

Cale's lip crooked up a little, forcing himself not to laugh, because Violan is dead serious while Deruth is crying like a spanked child, anyways Deruth looks like a frog.

"Damn, he looks like a frog" the young Jour commented

Cale lets out a short quiet snort.

"Stop it! Mother Violan is watching" he pleaded to the two.

Cale forced himself not to laugh, but Deruth's crying face challenges him.

"Father! Stop it!" Cale shouted, he hid his face down because he might burst out laughing as the Jours continued to spew funny comments at Deruth's state

"Cale....." Deruth stopped crying, he called Cale in broken tone as he sniff in his snot back.

"Damn, looked like a friggin frog" the Jours spew

Cale is shaking, he is forcing himself to hold everything.

"Father, a father should be more mature than his child, why are you acting like this? Where's the Count's dignity?" Cale snapped out, nagged at Deruth to prevent himself to laugh.

"..."

"Crying wont solve anything, I learnt that many times father, many times, so speak up and say something, I'm not a mind reader nor a future teller, so speak that I could hear and understand you, because I couldnt understand your wails" Cale continued.
