34: Nana's Trade is Open

So she moved to the heart of Polusia. The city Poloos.

She brought along all her 7 adopted children and started her business.

In 2 years, her business was up and running. The business was huge and is the size of three normal stores. There were people walking in and out of the store with items or money in their hand.

Her customers usually consist of people who came here to trade. She traded in all sorts of things. Items with money , item with item. But of course, the store also sold items being traded in or just brand new.

All kind of people came in to the store. The poor. The average. The rich. There's something for everyone.

But of course, that's not the only item they traded. Her most important customers that come through the door. The ones, that actually make her money are those that come to her with problems.

The man walked up to the counter " I'm here to.... Trade a problem?"

" Welcome to Nana's Trade. First timer sir ?"

" Anglus. Yes."

" Mr Anglus. Please follow me to meet my Master " the staff leads him to the back.

Mr Anglus sits in the room for a while and the storeowner comes.

" you're the ... Master ?" Anglus asked seeing the owner was quite young.

" Yes. I am . The name is Tedine." He spoke. He was the 2nd eldest us the 7 children. He was already 20 now and he took over the store from Nana.

Anglus : I was told it would be a lady.

Tedine: ah. My mother. She passed it over to me.

Anglus : shouldn't you be in school ?

Tedine : those are boring. Much more interesting here. I've been here since it opened. I make very reasonable deals.

Anglus: so, I have a problem...
.
.
.
Tedine ; no worries. We can settle that for you.

Anglus : I heard I've to give something in return.

Tedine : don't worry. We'll bill you after it's settled.

Anglus : so it'll be money.

Tedine : not necessarily

Anglus ; so it could be anything?

Tedine ; Either a property of a favor. Or maybe monetary. We won't want such things as your children. Haha.

Anglus ; .... Ok ok. How about my house ? Wouldn't worth that much right ?

Tedine : er. Nope. Not that big

Anglus : you won't ask me to kill someone either right ?

Tedine ; I will consider that in your payment.

Anglus ; then... I guess I'll be ok with this.

" Good." And tedine shakes with Anglus.

" I'm finally ready to start. Sighs. I'm going home first to see me two other children. How about you two ?" She talked to Amira and Grey. " You've found love. Are you sure you still wanna do this with me ?"

Esper: she's even pregnant.

Grey ; Esper !

Nana : why didn't you say anything?!

Grey ; I'll help whatever I can I don't think you can be done this quick

Nana ; Grey...

Esper : I'm still alone. I'm free. I'll of course help.

Amira : I've been telling my boyfriend I work for Nana's Trade. But I didn't tell him about other things. He think I work as a guard. Should be fine.

Grey : alright enough of all this sad sad things. I'm getting married!! You all must come !!

So she went back to the city of Dewery. Where her two other children are. She always did return here for important festivities. Like their birthdays and new years.

Ilise and Joy had naturally grown over the years. Joy was now a kid while ilise was already a young adult.

Ilise : mama ! You're back ! What's the special occasion?

Nana looked to ilise who was already much taller than her " just wanted to see you. Where's joy ?"

Ilise ; at school.

Nana : I see. I'm going to be here for a week. So let me know any requests you have . Ok ? I'm going to be really busy for ... Quite a bit of long time. Cannot return as often.

Ilise : oh... Sometimes I wish I can work beside you.

Nana laughed " why ?"

Ilise : then I can work with papa and you. Papa would never agree for me to participate. Mummy also said no.

Nana ; and I would say yes ?

Ilise ; hehe. You always let me do what I want.

Nana : after schooling. We can talk about it later.

Ilise ; yes!!

Nana ; how's joy ?

Ilise : he's doing fine. Mummy takes care of him too like her own kid. So you don't have to worry.

Nana : does joy think her as ... His own mother ?

Ilise : mama ...

Nana ; it's ok. I can take it. I'm not always here for him...

Ilise : I know what happened... How you got joy.... I was too young then. But I understood now. You still hate papa for it ?

Nana : .... Things are not as simple as it seems. There are things you still don't know about.

Ilise ; joy still thinks you as his own mother. He always talks about how you're rarely at home. He knows you try to make it for him. But sometimes... He wishes he's like the other 7 children. He asks me... Why you don't bring him.

Nana : what did you answer ?

" I said, I would miss him if you took him. So that's why he couldn't go. " Tears fell from her eyes.

She strokes her hair " poor ilise. I didn't take him because you take care of him well. Because... His father is here. Your father would never agree for me to take him along."

Ilise hugs her " when can you come back and stay with us again ? This time, forever."

Nana : ilise...
