Getting Back Together

Abused

It was a dang hot afternoon when we reached house. Franc went back and I went to the porch to look for the front door key but I remember, I left it inside the house. A medium-sized box wrapped in a brown paper welcomed me. I didn't minded it instead I want to go in the house so I went back door and opened it with the keys I hid up the door frame.

When I entered, it was still the same shit that I left days ago. It was clean and nothing is missing. I turned the lights up and opened the front door to get the box and closed it right away.

I went to my room and slept.

I woke up, it was 6 in the evening. I took a clean bath and dried myself for 15 minutes all. Later, I dressed up and went to living room to watch the news and movies. I ordered a nugget box for myself and pizza for my night.

It was just countable minutes and the orders came. I ate it immediately and continued my business.

It was 9 when I'm done. Leftovers, as usual, go to the ref and I went to my room. While taking a little rest for my tummy, I thought of opening the box that was left at the front door...

A sticky note was about to be detach when I try to read 'em.

"To Spence

     I'm so sorry. Thanks for these

-Sky"

I opened the box and as I've expected, it was the things I gave her since the start. The little stuffed toys, fake roses, my love letters to her, and some photos. These were just shits so I hid it under my bed.

I spent my remaining time looking at the lights beyond my window.

Three months had passed..

I was going out the day to buy groceries. Harper had her wife move in our house, she's 9 months pregnant. Harper is still working at the company while I resigned to correct my life. I just graduated from the cooking school.  I started my side line cooking again and Emma's mine and don't worry, she's fully recovered from her accident and still looks beautiful.

I need to pick her up first. She told me she'll help out to buy groceries for the family. I went going with my Glendale that was fixed by Harper. He also modified other functions. That was kinda perk for having a jack-of-all-trades bro.

I stopped by Emma's apartment and picked her up and we went to the nearest Target to look for the things in the list. It wasn't that much, just the basic ones and some baby diapers for the little Harper. It was confirmed that the baby is a boy.

"So when's little Harper coming out?" She asked me while taking small boxes of cheese.

"Next week I guess. Harper is so excited for his little one"

"I can sense that you're excited too. You'll be a great Uncle huh?"

"Yes. Like Uncle Nera. I will bake little Harper some bad cookies tho"

"You're baaad!" 

We went to the counter and paid.
I drove by the nearest pizza house and bought 2 boxes of overloaded ones.
We drove back home..

Upon reaching the garage, there were boxes outside. It says there, IND-FLO. I don't know what means but I'm sure there are visitors.

We went in the house with everything that we bought from Target. What a surprise! It was mom and dad who came straight from India to witness the birth of their first grandson.
