Max narrates:



I am so happy now, we finally have our dream family, these two children were always loved even though they didn't know it. However, Mek still worries me, his attitude is disinterested, but I don't blame him, the first people who should have loved him decided to abandon him.

I bought everyone a lunch and went home so I could eat with them, but there was no one, so Nat must have gone to get him from school. That's why I served everyone, and when they arrived they just went to wash their hands and sat with me.

- How was work dad Max?

- It was excellent, and you Yim? What lesson did you learn today?

- Papa Nat taught me to write the letter A and tie my shoelaces; but I still don't get it right. - He says the latter with a pout.

- I told you not to worry honey, you just need time. - Answers Nat affectionately. - How did you do at Mek school? Did you make new friends?

- It was good, I got good grades and no, my sister is enough.

Mek's answers are always very dry and even though my child doesn't say anything to me, I know that he is affected by it. That's why I looked for a solution, I don't want to see Nat sad anymore so we'd better go away for a few days, waiting for this time to serve to unite them.

- I have a good idea! Prepare your luggage, we will go out on the weekend!

They all ran away, even though Mek wants to hide it, I know he's happy with us, he just needs time to get to know us. Finally I decide that we go to the hotel on the beach, that beautiful place where my Nat and I show that we love each other with all our hearts.

- Child?! It's you?

- Max! - Nat runs and hugs him, so I get in the way and separate them.

- Do you forget that you are married sweetheart? - I asked ironically.

- He wants to steal my dad Nat? - Yim's voice is beautiful.

- Of course not, daddy will always be there for you. - Nat answered carrying her.

- They have children! I also want to have.

- And because you do not have?

- Why are you waiting for me to say yes! - Answers a voice we don't know.

- Max, child, I present to you my husband Tul.

- Hey, take them to the children's area and come talk to us for a while. - Tulle proposed.

- Do you have an area for children? - Nat asked surprised.

- Yes, it was inaugurated a few months ago, but with many games for them to have fun.

With Max's affirmation, my son had the confidence to let our children go play and have some time with friends. We were having a good time, it had been about an hour and it didn't seem like the kids needed us or that's what we thought.

- Boss! Boss! BOSS! - One of the hotel employees came running.

- What happens? why are you screaming - Tul scolded him.

- Sir, a mother is furious with two children, I don't know why and I don't know what to do either.

Nat was the first to run away and I don't blame him, the truth is that I also have a feeling that it is about our children. I arrive at the place and see that my child is fighting with a woman, who is next to a child with a torn shirt; Mek and Yim are behind him.

- What's going on here? - I intervened in the problem.

- What happens is that their children are troublesome and wild!

- Savage you who tried to hit my son! - Nat replied.

I leaned towards Mek to see what had happened; then he begins to tell me that this boy bothered Yim for not being able to write his name, so he got angry and they both hit each other; But whatever my son did, it's clear to me that he did it to take care of his sister.



Nat narrates:


When the clerk said that there were two children in trouble, I knew it was mine, so I ran first leaving them all at the table. I got to the playground and what I see is that woman with the intention of slapping my son and I won't allow that, so she got in the way, pushing her arm.

- DON'T TOUCH MY KIDS! - I yelled furiously.

I quickly put myself in front of them so that she knows that my children are not alone, if she has a problem she should have solved it as an adult; that is, find the parents of the children and talk about it with us, instead of attacking my children.

Soon Max shows up and starts talking to Mek about the real problem, and I hear that that spoiled kid made fun of my Yim. Then, he explains that for defending her from her, they both hit each other, until this woman came and said that Mek had torn the boy's shirt; but my son swears he didn't do it.

- And will you believe him? Look at my son's shirt!

- And? If I were my son, she would have ripped his pants to show him that she's not a girl.

- Are you offending my son?! He is not like you!

- It's worse ma'am. - Max comes out in defense of our children. - Only a girl would fight with another girl; Is that the example you want to set for your child? What is a bully? No wonder society is in decline, because of people like you!

- At least it won't be the same as you weird.

- Look ma'am, let this be the last time you disrespect my family or I will mop the floor with your poisonous tongue... And don't talk to my children that way again, just so they know, they are not alone , they have me and whenever they need me, I will be there to defend them.

- I don't care what they say, just pay me for the shirt.

- And why should I pay for something that my son did not do? - I claimed

- So who broke it?

I was already angrier than ever, so I started removing my clothes, from my jacket until only my shirt remained. It was when I grabbed Mek and asked him to grab me by the shirt, he didn't understand what was happening, but still and without protesting, he grabbed me with his left hand.

- Do you see that ma'am? My kids are left handed! And if it had been my son, he would have ripped that cheap shirt on the right side. But take. - I threw money on the floor. - Buy him an original, because that copy is disgusting!

She started screaming like the crazy person she already is, but I didn't care, I just checked my children and found some scratches on Mek's body; however, it was evident that they were made with a small hand, so I just took it to the infirmary along with Yim.

They applied some ointments to Mek so those scratches wouldn't get infected and then they gave both of them lollipops. Then we went for a walk on the beach so they would be calmer; when we got back to the hotel it was already night and Yim fell asleep in Max's arms.

- Umm... Gra... Thank you for defending us. - Mek says when Max entered their room to put Yim to bed.

- Forgive me for being so late! - I put one knee on the floor and he hugged me surprisingly in the middle of the hallway.

- Forgive me for the way I've acted all this time! I love you dad Nat! - My tears rolled down my cheeks as I hugged him tight.

- That no longer matters, I propose that we start again; and I will do it with a promise... - He separates from the hug and asks me:

- We can start again? Really? And what promise do you want to make?

- Of course we can start again, you are my son... And my promise to you is that I... I will always be with you.

I wipe her tears, because she hasn't stopped crying, then we hug each other again and now I know that I will never allow anyone to hurt them without them confronting me first...
