CHAPTER FOUR:
Ryker and Mitchell are seated down now, watching the kids together. Mitchell's sitting at one end and him, he's sitting at the other end. After she spilled ice cream on him, he got upset and wanted to leave the park but Mitchell didn't let him. She bought him ice cream instead and replaced hers too.
"Who would have thought that Ryker Moore actually comes to the park?"Mitchell asked, glancing at him. Ryker remained calm, not uttering a word and not bothering to look at her. He doesn't even have any expression on his face so it was difficult for her to try and know what he was thinking.
"You must like ice cream then"she said again but got nothing from him. "Why sit with me if you won't talk?"
"Do you ever keep shut?"Ryker finally looked at her. She looked familiar to him, he just couldn't remember where he's seen her. Apart from his ex wife and Clara, there were not much females in his life. Well, expect from female relatives he hardly knew and former female business partners.
"Do I? I guess I don't. That's how I survive. I don't come riches and wealth like you so, I have to make use of my mouth"Mitchell said and he looked away.
They began licking their ice cream in silence, with Mitchell stealing glances at him here and there. What a fine creature. She thought. Clara must be lucky getting married to someone this good looking.
"Why must she have all the luck?"she asked and Ryker faced her. "What? Did I say that out loud?"she looked at him and when he nodded, she quickly covered her mouth.
"Well, I was referring to almighty Clara Kings. She's got this massive wealth and beauty and all those fans and praises. And now, she gets to marry you? I personally think that's unfair and oh! I wouldn't get jailed for sitting and talking here with you right?"Mitchell rushed her words and Ryker chuckled. But just as the sound came, it vanished.
"Oh! There!"Mitchell pointed at him. "Did you just smile? Did I just make Ryker Moore smile? I must be dreaming. People said you don't smile but I made you smile"Mitchell said while smiling widely.
"Cute"Ryker muttered, but not loud enough for her to hear. Then, he stood up and began walking away.
Mitchell watched his retreating figure and smiled but that was when she remembered. She had this awesome chat with Ryker Moore and she didn't talk about her designs? How could she forget to bring it up? She's never going to get this chance again and she didn't mention it?
"Oh Mitch! You're the most foolish person existing"she cussed herself.
She was still cussing when one of the ladies from the orphanage walked up to her. "Granny May says it's time to come home and Yuri's at the orphanage too"the lady said.
"What!"she stood up. "Gather the kids into the bus then" the lady nodded and walked away, calling out to the kids.
"Oh my poor sister! She must have discovered I stole from her"she cried.
******
Immediately the bus arrived and Mitchell stepped down from it, Yuri rushed to her and pulled her by her right ear. Mitchell yelped.
"Take the kids inside"Granny May said
Will aunt Mitchell be okay?
I hate it when her sister comes around
Me too
She's always picking fights with aunty Mitch
Bad sister!
The kids were saying as they were taken inside.
"Take it easy on her will ya?"Granny May said
"Easy? She stole. She stole from me. She can't keep stealing"Yuri yelled, gripping the ear more.
"Ouch! That hurts, it hurts. Granny do something"Mitchell cried
"Let her go, Yuri. I'm sure she's sorry"Granny May said
"Yes, yes I am. I truly am. I just wanted to make these kids who growing up like me happy"Mitchell said and Yuri finally let go of her ear.
Mitchell immediately held her ear, rubbing on it. That place was already red.
"You can't keep using the orphanage as a reason for your wrong doings"Yuri snapped.
At this point, Granny May left them and walked inside, already knowing where this conversation would be headed.
"Really? You think you're a saint? Or better than me? You're worst than me Yuri, worst than me"Mitchell snapped back. By now, tears were already gathering in her eyes.
"Don't that Mitch. Don't. I had to do what I needed to do in order for me to survive. I had to. I was just 10 back then, what did you expect that I could have done?"Yuri yelled
"And me? I was 5 then too. A child, 5 yrs younger than you were. And let's say you were just a child, what of now? You keep visiting dad's grave and paying respects but you never visit mom. She's the one that suffered and is still suffering but you never visit her."
"Because I'm ashamed okay? I'm ashamed to look at her. I'm ashamed. I feel.. feel..."Yuri talked and suddenly held her chest. She began gasping for breath.
"Yuri?"Mitchell rushed to her. "Hey! Don't you dare! Yuri?"she yelled as Yuri fell to the ground, clutching her chest more.
"Yuri? Help!"Mitchell cried.
