One More Time ( Becky x Freen )

Chapter 6

"You??!"

That was all she said before she started throwing everything around her at the girl in front of her who was now on the floor, trembling, while covering herself with her hands.

"Get out of here!" Freen shouted.

"Hey hey, nong! What's going on?" Mario appeared from the room with confusion on his face about the mess. "Freen?"

The store was completely messy at the moment, with boxes and bottles scattered on the floor, few customers who witnessed the incident left the store without any purchases and Mario sent them an apologetic look.

Freen's face was pale, she was breathing heavily from screaming as if she was going to have panic attack at any moment. Finn rushed to her side to calm her down.

"P'Mario, get her out of here!! Please ka!" Frowning, she pointed to the frightened girl and the main entrance. "I want you out of here, now!" Freen demanded, pulling Finn tightly to her body, as if she didn't want him to get away from her.

A thick, condemning silence filled the room as Mario slowly walked towards the frightened girl. He looked back at Freen trying to understand and only found rage. The frightened girl on the floor still didn't move or express anything, her hands still covered her head as if a bomb was going to fall on her at any second. She was still shaking.

"It's okay na. Come on nong, let's go home, na?" Mario said and put his hand on Becbec's shoulder, gesturing for her to get up.

The girl stayed on the floor, she forcefully pushed Mario's hand off her body. "Mai aw! I want to play with Finn. It's not the time to go home, please na ka..."

Freen looked back at the girl, her eyebrows slowly furrowed and a look of confusion beginning to slip into her eyes.

"Nong, come on na. Finn doesn't want to play, he wants to go home, so you have to go home too, na? Come on nong, Phi will take you home–"

"Really ka? You don't want to play with me anymore?" She asked, her eyes starting to burst into tears. Not realizing what was going on there, she walked towards Finn and his Mae.

Freen, who was still angry, began to repeat the same action when she first saw the girl in the store.

"Mai! Don't you dare come near me or my son! Don't you dare call my son's name again! Get out!!" She screamed, backing away, with her son still clinging to her body.

The girl stopped with her eyes widened and her heart beating faster than ever, she ran out of the store, like a frightened mouse chased by a cat.

In a minute, she was nowhere to be seen when Mario went out to find her. He walked into the store and took Freen's hand to sit down on the chair. "Nong kub, what was that?"

Silence. Freen just kept her eyes on the floor instead of answering.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

She shook her head, looking at Mario with an apologetic look now that the storm was calming down. She really didn't want to talk about it, at least not now. "I'm sorry about the mess," she said as she looked around the store. "I'll help you clean up na."

"Mai... mai pen rai kub. I'll ask P'Ted to help me." Mario sighed, disappointment in his voice when Freen refused to talk.

"Mai, let me...."

"Mai, Freen. Just go home."

"But, I still have to go to the salon and..."

"Do it tomorrow, ask Nam or Faye to close it later."
