1276 Words
After they finished dinner. Nicolas takes action to invite Alger again to join them. But his face seems like he doesn't want to join them. Nicolas opened his mouth.
"Do you have anything in mind to join us? Conditions? Information? Anything you'd like"
Sigh… This man is annoying. He deliberately wanted me to join them and then…
"Can you decide now, Al?" Nicolas said.
Sebastian cut Nicolas.
"Can we… Just let the kid decide?"
"Okay… I'll give him two days to decide. Call us if you choose to join or not"
"Also, you're going to go home, your family is finding you because you
Al looked at them with shock on his face. He speaks up.
"W-what? They did that?"
"Yes, we're concerned that we might get a warrant if you don't go home"
Fuego touches the right arm of Al. Al opened his mouth.
"Hmm?"
"Are you going to leave us?"
"...no, I'll be back here in two days and you'll see me again"
"Your promise?" He whispered.
"Yeah. I'll do that in the next two days" he whispered back.
The car was already prepared outside the palace, Alger, Sebastian and Captain Lewis went to the car. Fuego is waving at them while the car departs. Nicolas opened his mouth.
"It all depends on the kid. But do you want to see your sister?"
Fuego just looked at him blankly.
After a few hours of driving, they arrived at the Miñienza residence. The police mobile was in front of the house when they arrived. They all get down the car and walk inside the house.
The police were in the dining room questioning about the missing person but they're shocked when he arrived with two companies beside him. The police pointed guns at them to secure themselves. Alger intervened.
"Wait! These are the people who send me home. I'm sorry because I didn't get home yesterday"
The police brought down the guns and Al's mother ran towards him and hugged him tightly.
"I'm so happy to see you. Are you hurt somewhere?" She cried in happiness.
In a moment, the police take Sebastian and Lewis outside to interrogate them.
His mom's name is Keira Miñienza, has blonde hair, deep brown eyes, moderate skin, and a pure beauty face. Her sister's name is Samantha Rowan Miñienza She has black hair, and eyes, milk-like skin and has a beautiful face like her mother.
"Where did you go? What happened to you? Your clothes are not like yesterday, right?"
"It's… Just… Ahm…"
Suddenly, Sebastian went inside and explained everything.
"I humbly request to speak?"
"A-ah… Yes. But, who are you?"
Sebastian smiled.
"I'm Sebastian Avenido, I'm a former colleague of Hiraki, your husband"
Al's mother and sister were shocked.
"A-are you the one with whom he works?"
"No, Mom"
Al Interrupted but Sebastian stops him.
"Yes, I am. But Al said that he's dead now. My sincere condolences for your family"
Al looked at Sebastian with a face of concern. But Sebastian winks his eyes for him to know that he will take the explanation.
"Yes, thank you"
"By the way. Al is in our house and sleeps there because I got carried away with his story about his father and himself too.
Kiera nodded and just let him speak about Al when he's with him. From the shoe store, making food at them but hiding the other truth and making a bunch of white lies.
"And that's all. Al is a very good boy"
"Thank you very much for taking care of my son. Do you want to eat something? Samantha gets the pudding from the refrigerator and gives it to our guests. I'll talk to the police now to close the case"
"Gladly, Mrs. Keira"
Samantha went to the kitchen to get the pudding, Keira went outside to talk to the police and only Sebastian, Alger and Lewis were there. Al couldn't get through the situation and whisper to Sebastian.
"What was that? How do you lie to my mother? What if he finds out…"
"Kid. Just trust me. I'm professional at lies"
"Here's the pudding"
Alger went back to his seat and Samantha was surprised about his brother. But he ignored him and distributed the pudding. She blushed when she's about to reach the pudding at Lewis. She speaks in a manner of a soft voice.
"Well. What's your name?"
"You can call me Lewis"
"Ohh, Lewis. Do you have…"
Alger pauses his sister by moving in front of Lewis.
"Sis! Don't do that to a person you just met"
"I'm just asking, why so protective, just admit it you have a crush on him"
Alger flinched and blushed.
"What are you saying?" he yells.
Samantha laughs sadistically. Alger turned and saw Lewis looking at him with no expression.
Why's this man so handsome even though he's all blank?
Alger went to his seat and started eating the pudding. After a while, Keira was done outside and the police mobile drove away.
Keira sat and asked one question, Sebastian.
"Mr. Sebastian. I'm curious, what's your occupation?"
"My occupation? It's a sudden question, but it's okay. I'm a… Director at the Hemsworth Hotel. You can visit there and get a discount, just say my name"
"Is that so? I'm so happy. Thank you" she happily answered.
"Okay. We'll go now. The night become deep if we stay more here
"Yes, yes. Have a safe drive. Bye"
Lewis went to the back of the car and got all the things that Sebastian bought for Alger. He deliberately forgot the thing he got from Sebastian and was shocked about the items they bought.
Sebastian's car drives away, Al's family gets inside and Alger was left behind getting all his stuff.
When Alger finished taking inside the stuff he went to the bathroom and dipped his body in the bathtub.
How do I do this? If I joined them, what kind of conditions would I apply? But my family… I don't want to think anymore. I'll focus on myself, changing myself as my top priority.
The night slumber and a new dawn have awakened.
Keira was in the kitchen making breakfast for her children. Alger woke up and washed his face. He went downstairs and the food was already prepared. Keira looked at Alger and smiled. She opened her mouth.
"Good morning son. Eat your breakfast and take a bath after, okay"
"Yeah"
Why can't I say thank you to her? Sigh… just eat this to make her good.
Samantha went down and ate alongside Alger. Her hair was unfixed, she yawned and ate.
Why is this woman so careless? If someone sees you they abruptly turn off.
"What are you looking at?!"
"Nothing," he scoffs.
After some time, they're all prepared to depart. Samantha wears a red shirt and denim pants along with a white sling bag. Alger was in a school uniform which is black pants and a white polo shirt.
Samantha is in college and Alger was a 1st-year senior high school, student. They both attend the same school called 'Lorenzana University' They opened a senior high school for the next student to continue their studies once they graduate senior high school.
He uses the new leather shoes that Sebastian bought.
It fit perfectly with me. My high thanks to you Mr. Sebastian.
"Hey let's go now, Al!"
"Yeah, I'll be there"
He took the expensive shoes he has for the P.E and put them in the bag. He went down and both of them said goodbye to their mother.
