irene woke up having her bed breakfast prepared by akisha and greggy, she felt happy and for the first time no one pulled banter between them. akisha was just smiling the whole time which new for irene but she doesn't want to blew out the moment so she let akisha and never asked.
after they got their bed breakfast they decided go shopping, at first akisha doesn't want to come and convincing irene to visit to her company instead and make a tour with akisha but irene promised to akisha that once they had their time to shopping they will go to the office which akisha made agreed to the deal.
akisha was wearing a expensive designer clothes as always and irene wear a pormal clothes because after the shopping they will go irene company.
Greggy can't join them because he has some errands that's need his presence which irene didn't complain because he knows how CEO life works.
so akisha and irene was walking right now, they didn't talk they just walking ofcourse irene wasn't used talking to 8yrs old kid. what would she say?
"wanna have drink?" irene having a hard time to bond with akisha, yesterday they're just like enemy and now they are together roaming around? it's weird.
"what do you mean drink? vodka? or something hard drink?" irene shooked her head.
"stupid. what makes you think i'll let you drink alcohol?"
"did you just call me stupid? and why? don't you think i'm drinking"
irene stopped and look at akisha, what this 8yrs old think she can drink whatever hard drinks she wants?
"do you want to me to tell this to your mom"
"i'm drinking irene. don't be so oa"
"what the fuck!? really? wait...i'm not amazed just so you know but why yenny let you drink alcohol?"
akisha rolled her eyes
"why would you drink alcohol? do you want to sanitized your intestine?"
irene trying her best not laughed so she turned her gazes away and bit her lower lips.
"you're unbelievable akisha."
"that i am" akisha winked.
"anyway what do you want to do? do you want something?" akisha looked at irene, irene was sincere to be honest. she don't joke when she said she was worried about why akisha celebrated her birthday on a library.
"what do you like?" Irene added because akisha didn't uttered a word.
"i don't know anywhere here" irene back her gazes on akisha, she felt confuse.
"what do you mean you don't know?"
akisha sighed.
"okay... i lied. my daddy didn't bring me anywhere i want when i felt hungry" oh yeah she remembered that night, the first day of akisha with them asking them to go out just to eat a dinner outside.
well irene was now confused, lying to her doesn't matter it just a dinner outside but she's more confused. why akisha telling this to her? is akisha trusting her??? but she's awared that i'm the friend of her mother anytime i can tell this to yenny but why akisha looks comfortable saying this to me? is she really trusting me now?
"hey. it's okay" irene kneeled infront of akisha to meet her gazes.
"nope. it's not okay. i lied"
"hey kid. i know we're not close yet but i want you know that i won't mad at you and it's okay even if you lied at me just don't do this to other hmmm? and please don't do it again" akisha cupped the cheeks of irene.
"the reason i lied to you because i want to feel how's the feeling having a complete family eating outside" irene frowned.
"you are complete honey. you have your mother and your have your dad--"
"but i never tried to eat outside with them"
irene felt a bit sad for akisha,
"but why?"
"listen, i intentionally troubling you irene because i'm jealous you always have my mom that even she's home with me she always blabbering something about you. she don't have time for me, she always there in your company. she always with you patching all the trouble your doing for her" akisha bitterly laughed.
"and my dad, he is freaking workcoholic i never had a chance to bond with him.... especially when i turn into 5 they let me alone with my nanny. they barely even know me. they don't know what i like, they don't know everything about me is it because i don't have blood from them"
Irene frowned and pulled akisha for a hug. "hey don't say that. they're are your parents. they had blood running through your veins"
"nope they're not"
"what?" Irene confusedly looked at akisha.
"they aren't my real parents"
irene was completely shocked but she doesn't want to go further, yenny is the one who need to said this to her, not akisha.
irene again wrapped her arms on akisha.
"why did you tell me this?" akisha parted the hug and hold the hand of irene.
irene again was confused.
"because i trust you even though i'm jealous because you always have my mom" irene smiled.
she put her fingers in akisha cheeks and rubbed it.
"you have me kid just don't be brat"
"i'm not a brat. i just said, i did that intentionally" irene brushed akisha hair.
"i wouldn't break your trust, i'll protect this secret with my life" irene winked.
"is there something Korean food here?"
"you also liked it?"
"yap. that's my favourite"
"your imitating me"
"i don't irene, you are old and i'm not"
"do want me to be mad at you"
"be mad at me anytime i don't care, just take me in Korean restaurant"
irene sighed, irene find this Adorable.
"before we go there, can you tell me why you choose to celebrate in the library?"
"just like what i've said. i never tried going out with family so i treated you as a family that day"
"only that day?"
"yap"
"i'm hurt" Irene put her hand on her chest acting like she's really hurt
"you're too old to do that"
"why you limiting me and mocking me just by my age?"
"i don't. i'm reminding you! those aren't same" irene sighed, ofcourse she will never win against this stubborn kid.
"whatever stubborn" then she rolled her eyes and continue walking leaving akisha there standing
"you old irene wait me"
"i will sell you after we eat"
"dare to try me"
"i will kid, probably"
