BLAMELESS SORROWS

47.Introduce.

Heri's Point of View.

We reach home and just then we heard a scream, more specifically mom screaming Tilbe's name, so loudly that both Galen and me flinch back by the sound.

Galen: Is everything alright inside?

Heri: I don't know, maybe Tilbe is sick again.

As I said that I start to freak out, what is she sick with again? Is it serious? It must be if mom is that scared by the sound of it.

So we that, forgetting all about our nervousness we went sprinting in completely expecting the worse.

And when we enter we saw Vann standing by the living room and sighing ti himself looking towards the kitchen.

Heri: Vann? Where is Tilbe? Is something wrong with her, is she sick? What happen this time, is it serious?

He look at me blankly saying nothing back while I also stare at him, my feet jumping around by itself unable to be still.

Heri: What is the matter with you? Answer something, is it really so bad?

Is that it? Is he not reacting cause if any kind of shock?

Heri: Where is she? Oh my God, say something already. Iam dying over here!

He sigh when I said that, and push me towards the kitchen. While I follow along confusedly, dragging Galen in the process as well. By the way he also is waiting anxiously waiting for any info.

Anyway we went to the kitchen and saw mom hugging the life out of Tilbe who also hug her back with the same enthusiasm and excitement.

All three of us look at them silently, Vann with a questionable expression, he seem pleased with the situation but is also like expecting something weird to happen?

While Galen and me look at them quite confused.

Tilbe: What happen Aunt Mia, why are we hugging.

I looked at her speechless while at the side I saw Galen with the same expression, his jaw dropped.

Are you telling me that she is hugging her back with such energy and excitement without knowing what is happening and what the hug is for?

Mom: Well I finally is going to have you as my very own daughter now.

Tilbe seems a little confused, while I have a bad feeling bout where this is going.

Tilbe: But you said Iam always your daughter, how come I only become one today. Whatever may be the reason of that.

And she look at mom pouting a bit while mom looked at her lovingly and squeeze her soft cheeks in adoration.

Mom: Of course, you are already and will always be my daughter. But now I mean, you are also my daughter-in- law.

I knew it! It is about this all along, and when I realise what is happening I look towards Galen, who is looking at there interaction frozen at where he stood. I sigh in anxiety at that.

Tilbe: Vann told you we are going out?

Mom nod excitedly, while Tilbe face also light up with a big grin.

But before any of us can react, we heard a glass shattering from the side, making all of us to turn that way.

And there was dad there, his hand still in the gesture of holding the cup which just broke.

Dad: Are you telling me, my little one is finally coming to our home?

Tilbe laugh a but looking at his amazed expresion.

Tilbe: I think that is what it mean, uncle Jace.

After that was said both if them smile the biggest smile and both rush forwards to hug each other. But before they can, Vann pull both of them sideway. Both of them looked at him with confusion.

Vann: The glass, now please go on.

Both of them look back at the scene at the same time and then form an oh face t the same time as well.

But in an instant forget about in and they were back being jolly and both were hugging happily.

They do make a cute and comitic duo.

Tilbe: Can you believe it uncle Jace, now I can call you dad like Heri and Vann do.

Dad laugh when he heard that, in joy of course.

Dad: I know right, like it will have kill Vann to ask you out sooner. You guys were ech other soulmate and he knew right form the strat anyway. He just want to punish me, I tell you.

Tilbe nod agreeing with him innocently while Vann look at them in disbelief and just roll his eye at their drama, but if course the soft smile in his face cannot be missed.

Mom: Come on, thats not fair. Quick call me mom as well. No call me mom first before you do with your uncle Jace.

She went up to them and pull her towards her, her competitive spirit all fired up.

I though dad will laugh it off and let mom have her way, but boy was I wrong.

Dad look like a bulb went off in his head and quickly get in front of Tilbe.

Dad: No Tilbe don't listen to your aunt, and come on call me dad first.

Mom look at him with a glare and get in front if him, shielding him from Tilbe. Or siding Tilbe away from dad.

Mom: Come on Tilbe, you can do it. Call me mom.

I chuckled looking at them, it's like a parents fighting for the first words if their little baby. And Tilbe looking at them confusedly and innocently distressed as to which she should choose, complete the whole picture perfectly.

Dad: Mia no, both Heri and Vann said mom first, so it's only fair that I got Tilbe's.

And he once again came to Tilbe's sight.

While Mom once again glare at dad.

Mom: What does that have anything to do with what is happening right now.

Then her mood completely take a U turn and she smile oh so sweetly while turning back to Tilbe and once again got to talking.

Mom: Come on Tilbe, day mom.

And she mouth the word mom as if expecting Tilbe to follow along while dad do the same thing behind her.

I sigh in disbelief, did they really forget tht she is not really a baby?

Or the innocent face looking at one of them then next at the other continuosly really confused them.

Galen: Am I the only one who think our timing is all out of luck and that people might die of nervousness?

I looked up at him, I really do realise that as well.

Heri: Dont worry about it, they are just hyper like that and nothing else.

He look at me in disbeleive and sigh.

Galen: I mean how do I compete with that? I know there is no competition or anything of that sort, but must we do it at the same day with their little beloved baby Tilbe. Iam nervous as it is, now Iam just going hayware.

I chuckled as he said that while he glare at me with pure venom, making me raise my hand in surrender.

Heri: You too know that it's about doing it at the same time with Vann right? Not Tilbe.

He tch when I said that, and I kind of know why. I mean my parents are the one who is the biggest fan of Vann and Tilbe's ship, and are the origin of the ship as well. They were literally waiting for this since they were about four, literally.

And beside they accept her so warmly that, it really will be hard to be happy with my parents reaction if it does not reach taht height anymore. And ti reach Tilbe height, is really quite impossible at this point. And Galen was quite nervous from the very beginning so it understandable that he become much more nervous, he is literally shaking by now.

And to add, my parents don't even realise we are here yet.

Galen: I mean look at them, it like a child of their has return home. It is too sweet and precious that, I don't even want to steal thier moment with our time?

He sigh and facepalm himself as he said taht.

Heri: I know right, it's kind of a shame to disturb such a loving moment.

We look at them with a smile as now Vann have rescued Tilbe from the confusion which seems to be overwhelming her.

Vann keep her behind him while trying to calm my parents down.

Tilbe: Sis-in-law, or sister. See I have called Sis Ri first, so no more first.

All of us freeze including me, why must she do this. But at the pit end,Iam also happy Iam called first. Petty, I know.

Mom/Dad: How is that fair, I want to be called second then.

Tilbe look at them in complete helplessness while Vann sigh in compete annoyance and somewhat disbelieve.

But since Tilbe called me first, I decide to jump in as well.

Heri: Thank you Tilbe, it's an honour. And mom, dad settle down a bit cause you see I have a news too.

That got their attention, as when I said that both of them turn my way and look at me in silence expecting me to speak up.

Heri: Well here it goes, here is my boyfriend Galen.

Galen looked at me in surprised, not expecting me to say so in such a short time.

Galen: Umm Hello! Uncle, auntie; it's nice to meet you. Iam Galen, Galen Coy.

My mom and dad look at him stupified, like completely shock and speechless. They definitely didn't expect this.

Heri: Mom! Dad!

That snap them out of their frozen state while dad cough to get rid of the awkward silence.

Dad: Well nice to meet you son.

And dad raise his hand for a shake which Galen took respectfully.

I look at their reaction in kind of a disappointed manner, what happen to the excitement now. And Iam just asking for a smile, nothing beyond that.

Mom: Well this is a very pleasant surprise.

And mom looked my way with her eyes widening a but while Galen give a small smile awkwardly.

While Vann and Tilbe observe with interest, Vann a but amused, Tilbe just interested.

Mom: Oh son, dont take us wrong. We were just surprised that Heri could get herself a boyfriend too. Nothing else.Please come this way, let's have a nice tea and chat all about it.

With that Mom lead Galen towards the living room with hee signature sweet smile while I roll my eyes at her very honest comment.

But nonetheless I follow as well while dd come besides me and follow along.

Dad: Well isn't my babygirl growing up so quickly, you even got yourself a lover.

And he smile at me warmly and then and there I knew, that was the smile I was waiting for all along.
