As usual every Sunday my mom is always expecting us to come even if most of the time we are not present. As I woke up having an headache, I directly took my phone and dialed Lewis number. It's been a couple of weeks since we visited our parents. As soon as Lewis answered my call I told him to get ready and I'll fetch him so we can go both to our parents house. Replied me back just give him an hour. I hang the cellphone and prepare myself.
Exactly an hour before 12 which means lunch time we arrived in our parents mansion. While on the road we stop by to buy flowers for my mom and a bottle of scotch for my dad with his favorite sweets. While we are taking all the things we buy my mom shouting from the door " Oh my God honey, look we have two handsome guests" she said shouting to my dad. I saw my dad smiling while coming to our garage. I bet my mom heard us so she hurriedly went out. She was surprised as well my dad the smile on their faces were so much happiness to me they eased the pain I felt for Courtney.
When we reach the sala my dad hug Clarke first and my mom as usual kissing my face like a baby. I miss this hug I feel relief I feel I'm not alone. I stayed for a while then I feel my dad's hand and I look at him then he hug me tight. I knew he already know the result of the merger. But I don't know if he already knew about Courtney. Besides I never bring her in this house yet nor my parents doesn't knew about the things me and Lewis doing outside this place.
My mom prepared as she was telling us table is ready. There's a seafoods served with butter, chicken curry and beef steak, ofcourse rice is present with broccolis and asparagus for my mom and dad. I never gave intentions before but today I'm hungry and whatever happens before we'll go home I need to tell my mom and dad about this girl that makes me feel sad and betrayed for the first time. I feel weak like I lose something that I cannot have.
" Lewis?" Lewis!!" Clarke called me twice. I never thought I was day dreaming while eating and all were looking at me. I smiled and my dad shook his head like saying " I know it's a girl". No doubt he is right.
After we took lunch we are all sitting in the sala as usual family we drink tea while exchanging conversations. I look around nothing has change I look at my old baby photo while Lewis playing with me. The childhood that I couldn't trade for anything, all the happy memories that I had with my brother with my dad playing baseball to me and my mom teaching me how to wear my shoes properly. I wish someday my kids will experience what I had. I never thought I was smiling and look with my family they were all smiling wide open.
" Lewis I told mom regarding Courtney, I don't have right to tell mom and dad about what u have both and what happened to the merger. Better you tell them by yourself and can I asked you? What's happening to you. You are always day dreaming smiling while in the car you're so silent like someone died. Geez! Lewis are you getting crazy?" My brother
Clarke told me infront of my parents. I look to my mom and she look a bit worried but still there's a big smile on her face while my dad is looking to me intently. I feel tense like I'm having an exam without doing a review.
I looked to Clarke and he was smiling like a devil. His eyes telling me you dead. I looked at him and my two eye brows met and rolled my eyeballs. I start to confess.
I told them that because of Clarke I met Courtney accidentally. I gotta like the lady and the reason why. While telling the story I was looking to my mom she's smiling, I know she wants to meets this girl she's getting interested first time she saw me acting like stupid kid because of the lady were most of the time I was the one hurting them. While my dad is feeling amused of. God I don't know what I feel in this day. But when I reached to the part where I told my parents that Courtney is actually the daughter of Mr. Thomas I saw the shock on my mom and dads face with amusement. Like they were watching a movie on me. While Lewis went out for smoke I had no one to rescue me.
I told them everything even what I feel, my mom gave me advice to let Courtney explain why. That I cannot judge easily. My dad was happy like he was liking the idea of me and Courtney not because of the merger of our companies but he told me because of Courtney's father. I saw and feel that too, the old mans kindness and intelligence caught me. The traits Courtney possess.
Clarke came back bringing Adolfo with him his german shepherd dog. He leaves because he has no time to take care on his penthouse due to his life style. I'm planning to buy a pit bull I don't know why all of a sudden I plan to have one.
I touch Adolf's head and he wiggle his tail. He still remember me. Then Lewis sit beside me while Adolf on his lap. I feel like a kid jealous. First he met Courtney then he has a dog with him. What am I doing why I never have all this things?
" When you're getting older you are getting emotional especially when you love to have someone but it's to dangerous to tame it" my mom said while I was on a spacing out maybe she thinks or feel me. A mother instinct as they said. I looked at her and smiled to her I stand up and hug her tight. Ohh I miss this. Then my dad look at me while I was hugging my mom telling me to sit next to him. While he was smoking cigar he said " Your mom and I want to meet Courtney, but first fix yourself and prepared for all the changes in your department then after you settled things time to go back in Guam and have the guts to talk to that interesting lady". I hug my dad tight and we said our goodbyes to them. What a good day indeed.
