A Life for a Life (short story)

A Life for a Life - 3

December 07, 2012. Oh! It's Seth's birthday! They went to a five-star restaurant. His mom wants to celebrate it with the family only. Weird, he's already twenty years old, and their still doing this thing. After eating, they went shopping.

"Seth, go buy anything for yourself. Just make sure you'll be satisfied. Your dad and I will just by some clothes."

"Sure.", he answered.

After shopping, he waited inside the car. A few minutes after, his parents finally came.

"Sorry for waiting, Seth."

Seth noticed that they bought too much clothes and it's only for a man.

"You bought too much clothes and it seems like they are not for both of you. Hmmm."

"Don't mind them, son. Come on, let's go home. You drive."

After changing his clothes, he went out of his room 'cause he agreed that he and his parents will have a serious talk.

"Come over here, Son.", and then he sat in front if his parents.

"What's wrong? It looks like it's a very serious matter 'cause both of you are too nervous.", then he smiled.

"There's nothing wrong. We just want to tell you something we didn't tell you ever in your life."

"What is it? What is it?", he asked.

"Calm down. We knew you'll act like that but calm down. We want you to listen first, okay? I want to tell these things, straight."

Mr. Sandoval closed his eyes and took a deep breathe before talking.

"You.. You're... You are not.."

"I'm not what?!"
