Remebering Grandma

"Are you sure?"

I was asked by Richard and Evan for the millionth time. I drew a glare at them and they immediately shut up.

My gaze turn towards Elliot whom I pull through the library a minute ago. He was squirming in his seat, like a worm that's been sprinkled with salt. I can't exactly blame him, here he was, talking to his bully (who became gay all of a sudden) with his boyfriend, and of course with me.

A problematic child who can bash your skull until you bleed in death.

"Dad already decided. He also arranged all the things I needed to do for the trip, at least I won't do a lot of work since he'd done it already"

"How about Grandma? Did she seems okay with you being there? Won't you break her calm and peaceful place?"

Thinking about it, I think I never saw grandma as the old elderly lady that's been accompanied with a hundreds of cat and thank God she doesn't have dementia. I wouldn't know what to do then. I remember her calm but steady gaze, like a soldier, alert and standing straight (even in her late age). My grandfather (whom with Grandma lives with) mentioned her being in the army for years. He also tell us stories about the World War 2 and how they managed to barely escape unscathed and alive.

"Remember how grandma use to gaze at you whenever you're being naughty. Grr!! I still feel shiver everytime I remember her particularly her gaze"

"Yeah, and how she uses her cold domineering tone when she lectur s you. Ha! I bet father was scared shitless at her"

The two of us laugh at that. Grandma was a true soldier. The disciplines in the army was deep etched into her mind and body and she can't help but to do that to us as well. Maybe being with her means I could adapt and maybe learn about fighting techniques, and how to be agile and be smart in every situation I'll be encountering.

"Wh-why am I h-here?"

A small deep voice was heard, I take my gaze off my cousin and look towards the owner of that voice. Elliot shrunk more, if he could possibly turn into a ball he would do that in a beat just to escape my eyes. I totally forgot about him, lost with the waves of memories I haven't spare him a glance.

"You're here because you'll be learning how to fight for yourself. You can't always be weak and depend on others. Always remember this: Always depend on yourself because those people you think are weak, are the most scheming, manipulative people. Don't trust anyone"

Yeah, I might be harsh on him but it's the truth. Even your own family could swallow you down and spit out your bones without anyone's knowledge. I won't be there to stand by his side but I'm hella sure I'll be getting him strong with the help of my trusted aides AKA. my cousin and his boyfriend.

"But-but why should I trust y-you?"

"Good question. You know why, because I'm the only one who know your nightmares and fears, also the one who cared enough to let you live in this motherf*cking world"
