“Mama?”
Nu hurriedly runs to his Mother who is clearly crying.
As Gulf looks up to see a worried Nu running towards him, he quickly wipes away his tears.
“Nu Baby. Sorry if I wasn’t home. I slept in with your Uncle Bible—“
“Mama, what’s wrong?”
Nu cuts Gulf off looking at his Mother with worried eyes.
“Did something happen Mama ?”
Gulf feels bad for making his Baby worried. He releases a sigh and musters a small smile.
“Everything will be okay,Baby. Don’t worry.Mama can handle himself.”
Nu’s worried looks doesn’t fade. Gulf decides to quickly change the subject.
“Why are you up so early, Baby?”
Gulf asks.
Nu purses his lips knowing well his Mother is avoiding any more questions from him.
“I’m meeting with P'Mild to finalize things for the party tomorrow.”
“Ah, yes. The graduation party,”
Gulf nods.
“Is there anything else you need mm?”
Nu wordlessly shakes his head. Gulf notices his son’s expression knowing he’s holding something back.
“Is something the matter?”
Nu bites his bottom lip and takes something out of his back pocket.
