Many days have passed but the man won't stop watching us. Though he doesn't harm us, I always felt him watching and following me. I thought that he was silly because he hides on the most easy hiding spots, like he wasn't even trying to hide at all.

Well considering that he is really huge, he won't be able to find a hiding spot that he can hide his whole body.

My mother doesn't realize it because my mother is really dense. There was one time that a man from the market was hitting on her but she just thought that he was being nice by giving her some free vegetables, my mother is really gorgeous so I definitely understand.

Many days had passed and I have grown quite fond of the old man, and I feel comfortable with his presence little by little. He doesn't try and hide anymore unless my mother is there, when we are alone, he would actually talo to me. He had a sweet voice but it's full of regret. I can see his eyes because he's always looking down on me because I'm small, his eyes are empty, it doesn't have the spark that happy people usually have. Everytime he visits me, he always had something to give us, mother would frequently ask where I got the presents since she loved all of them.

I got suspicious because he knew what my mother loved. I gathered up my courage to ask him.

Sir, how do you know that my mother would love all the things you gave me?

"Oh, really? I never actually thought that your mother would love the gifts I gave you, my sister just really loves those things" he said hesitantly

He's lying.. I know the tone of someone's voice when they're lying..

I just smiled it off since I he might not come back again if he gets annoyed by all of my questions.

A month had already passed and I started calling him grandpa, well my mother is still wary of him but she lets me hang out with him.

Hey Grandpa! Do you know that my birthday is next month??

"Of course I do, Lollie" he said while smiling.

I can see his whole face now because he doesn't wear a coat anymore.

Wait.. How did you know?

"No reason, I just felt like I should say that I knew!" he said.

I wonder what my father looked like, is he handsome that my mother fell for him?

Hmm, hey Grandpa, since you know everything.. Do you know where my father is?

"Oh, I don't know Lollie.. " he said hesitantly.

He's lying again..
