When Asshole Meets God

It's Okay, Cam

A beautiful, calm, and soft-spoken young lady with porcelain skin and long black hair was saying this to Cam.

"It's okay, Cam."

He was so distracted by what she said that he forgot he was listening to what Charles and Andrea were talking about inside the office.

"She looks familiar," he said himself as he was checking her recognizable face and voice.

"Excuse me, miss. Do I know you?" He asked out loud.

The young lady just stared at him without saying something back. Cam was beginning to get intimidated when she began smiling in an ominous way.

"Do you hear me?" He asked again. But this time he received a bizarre response after a short silence.

She opened her mouth and said, "I'm the one you hate, am I?"

"The one I hate?" Confused, unnatural feelings he felt so he tried to make sense of what she was trying to say. He asked, "What do you mean by that?"

But before she could answer, someone called for his name. "Cam!" This made him look to his back, seeing the cased opening towards the function hall. He saw a person standing on this doorway and it was the one who called him. It was his older sister, the 9-year-old Gina.

Gina was clueless looking at him so she asked, "Who are you talking to?"

At first, Cam was startled as this was the first time Gina called him with his name. However, as he was about to fully answer her question, "I was also confused when I saw this lady—" he suddenly stopped when he looked back to where the young lady was standing and realized she was no longer there anymore. She vanished.

"What are you talking about, idiot? There was no one there," Gina told him that he was all alone the whole time. "You looked like a stupid kid talking to himself," she revealed that she was watching him the entire time as she witnessed him having a conversation with no one in this long narrow space surrounded by walls. As where Gina was standing, she could see the entire small space and definitely clarified that Cam was alone all along.

"No," Cam replied as if he was trying to argue that he was not alone and he was talking to somebody. "I assure you, there was a lady here. And she looks scary," he justified.

"Okay," Gina obviously did not believe him with her eyebrows colliding with each other.

As these two were talking, the door to Cam's right opened. They saw Charles walk out of his office. But as he closed the door, Cam had a glimpse of his mother, Andrea, crying inside the office while sitting on a chair.

"What's wrong with Mommy? Is she crying?" Cam asked Charles. He was definitely confused and curious, at the same, concerned for his mother.

Charles knelt down and held Cam's shoulders. He was trying to hold his tears. "Mommy is fine," he said with a sad smile.

He stood up and walked towards Gina. "Don't disturb Mommy, okay?" He added as he tapped her head softly and eventually walked away. This made both Gina and Cam confused.

"What's going on with Daddy? Did you really see Mommy cry?" Gina was asking Cam as he was the only person who saw Andrea crying.

"I saw her crying inside Daddy's office. And I felt like Daddy was also crying," Cam answered, not sure about the situation.

Gina could not hold herself so she walked towards Cam and faced in front of Charles' office.

"What are you doing? Daddy said we don't disturb Mommy," Cam tried to stop her and tried to make her listen to Charles.
