Silent Hearts

6 : The Formalities

Low*

“Papa” I greeted my father, who just came from Greece, from our homeland. When Calista’s Father died; Mr. Vicenso Rocca, Dad and Mom moved to Greece in our homeland at the same time train Ms. Reline Evangeliste with my cousin’s recommendation, Clandestine Angelov, on running our branch out there. 

“Priyatno videt' moyego mal'chika, kak Cali?” Doing our Father and son handshake then went on looking around in the airport of Cali. 

“She is always Great, Beautiful and covered?” thinking about Cali, My woman. “Anyways, she’s shopping her stuffs”

She is with Trinetta, She is the most closed ‘GIRL’ best friend of apple, while I am the No. 0 of the most closed.

“Does my son love Venice? {My father is fond of calling her second name than her first but that makes Cali cheerily pout because she dislikes it, even though it's lovely as her maybe she keeps on remembering her mom when dad does that} No one’s stopping you, make her fall for you too? I like her as my daughter she's very Kind and bubbly, and you know how to make our situation lighter?” He interrupted elbowing me on my stomach, chuckling and entered the car’s driver seat. 

My father is cunning like my Mitera.

“If you keep on calling her that dad, she won’t stop pouting” laughing half-heartedly, well what would it be her reaction if I tell her the situation is?

I kept this for 2 long years. I am already messing my hair and face palming inside.

“Haha, I know you too well, son” and he messed my hair for me. “You are running away again with the situation, you had to face this, maybe this Formalities is the time? Come on don’t be a coward, she can handle and understand us” Those words didn’t make the heaviness I carry lighter, it even makes me more overthink as I seated uncomfortably beside him, yet dad chuckled more. 

Welcome back Dad. -_-”

“Moya lyubov', How’s your flight?” Mom speeding to Dad as I get out of the front seat. Of course, she misses Dad for flying here so immediately like she is supposed to be with Father  but I don’t know what comes in Mom’s mind and Dad’s brain of letting her get here a 2 weeks earlier,  though mom fly back twice in Greece.

“I am just going to let the night pass” I told them, yawning as I only want to sleep peacefully because there is a nerve wrecking tomorrow.

I am quite jealous, I want to have a love like theirs.

“Remember: The solution is to lift up the heaviness of this situation” Dad inserted as I am now heading to my room upstairs.

“Yeah, yeah” I short response while my eyelids are really falling close, as I think for tomorrow...

It was theme of a baby blue and Purple as my Mother’s suggestion that I and Cali couldn’t say nothing more. Mom and Dad is busy chatting with Mr. Yamashita and Mr. Cory one of the investors, 9% and 11% of investments however that is still an asset.  

Meanwhile looking in the venue the tables are arranged on its diamond shapes with their diamond shape touched chairs as well, foods and wines are served smoothly yet Calista aren’t still arriving. 

And here I am, already panicking of my what-ifs, seating in the deep corner of the hall. 

What if Calista couldn’t handle this? What would be Cali’s reaction about this situation? Would she run or cry or panic as well? What if she breaks down? What if she is not yet ready? What if she can’t stand me anymore? What if—
