Win's POV

     I took care of the food that we will be having for the pinic, I also told the staff to have some day-off. So, it's just me, Bright and Chatri today. Bryan and Dad have some business to attend to, but they both said that they'll be here by dinner.

    Bright was actually surprised that he already met my Dad and my older brother, he said that he was surprised and will make it up to it. While making the food, he talk to me about how he is worried that he'll embarrass himself in front of my brother and Dad at dinner. I tried to assure him, but he said he'll cook dinner.

   I didn't argue on him with that, and said okay. He's now busy settling and finding a place in the garden where we should place the picnic cloth, and I'm here in the kitchen busy putting the foods and drinks on the tray.

      Looking at the time, I saw that's it's almost 4pm and Chatri is still sleeping. I took the afron of and washed my hands. As I was leaving, a sleepy looking Chatri appeared on the kitchen door.

    "Hey, Night. How's your nap?" I asked.

   He just hummed and sleepily walks towards me. He wrapped his arms around my stomach and I placed my hand on the top of his head.

   "Still sleepy?" I asked and he nodded. "Well, you can't be sleepy. Your Dad's already fixing the place, can you help me bring the foods outside?"

   He yawned and pulled away before saying. "Hmm'kay....I want noodles"

   "We'll have noodles at dinner." Said giving him the tray of snacks, while I grabbed the tray for spaghettis and juices. "Come on"

    We went outside and saw Bright standing under the tree, looking down at the blanket. I think this man is proud of his work. I called him and he turned his head towards us. He took the other tray from my hand and placed it down carefully.

     Once we placed all the food, snacks and drinks down, we akk sat down and started to eat. With some chat of course.

    "So...where do you want to go tomorrow, Chatri?" I asked.

   "Hmm? But, I have school tomorrow" He answered wiping the sauce from his mouth.

   "No, you don't have one" Bright said, handing him a glass of juice. "The principal informed me that they'll have a general cleaning all over the school"

   Chatri smiled widely. "Really?!! That means...we can stay here longer?!!" He asked in an excited tone. I think the sugar rush is kicking in...

   "Of course" I replied and held the kid down on my side. "Now, state all the places you want to go tomorrow, I'll—"

   "We'll take care of it" Bright cuts my sentence. I looked at him with squinted eyes, he smirked back.

   "Yeah....what your Dad just said."

   Chatri hummed and looked around before giving an answer. "How about the mall?"

   "The mall? Do you want to buy new clothes? Or..."

   "No, no, no! I just.....I just want to spend time like...a real family" he said looking down on his lap, fiddling with his fingers. "I mean, what we did on my birthday, that was really the happiest day of my life and I want to experience that again."

    I already have a hunch of why he wanted it, since he lost his real Papa in a very young age, now he's looking for a comfort from someone he sees as one. And, I believe that's me.

    "Of course, we can do that" I replied caressing his cheek. He smiled at me and I smiled softly. "I'll arrange my schedule tomorrow so we can have a whole day to ourselves"
