“You will?” the girl sounded surprised.
“Of course,” Neon said to her proudly, “You two are in this trouble because you were avenging me and I’m very grateful for that. So to make it up to you, I’ll take your work,” He grinned at work.
“Aww, you’re so sweet,” Ailee fawned over him, looking him straight in the eyes. For a moment there, both of them didn’t say anything, just kept staring at one another with smiles on their faces.
“Creepy,” Was the only word that Allen could think of. He couldn’t explain it, but it felt like there was another bond Neon and Ailee had formed – and he wasn’t part of it – which was absolutely ridiculous.
He has lived with his sister and so far it was just the two of them, alone, working as a team and he loved it. But now, here was Neon and it irked him that another bond had been found between the both of them and no matter what he did, he couldn’t join in. It made him uncomfortable because he had this itching feeling that Neon would steal his sister from him in the future.
“Give me that,” Allen quickly snatched the mop from him, breaking the moment between them, “Who are you to help her out?”
Ailee shook her head sympathetically, then faced Neon once again to his irritation, saying, “If only Allen was half?as nice as you, the world would be a better place,”
“Whatever,” He rolled his eyes, yet having comfort with the fact that her sister was no longer staring at Neon in that weird way.
They quickly resumed their duty while Ailee had the fortune of resting. Unfortunately, they didn’t have to work for long – hallelujah- before Isabella burst into the toilet shouting.
“Code Red!”
“Code Red!”
“Code Red? What is Code Red?” Neon asked, having not fully comprehended the meanings behind the color thingy in this household.
“Code Red means danger,” Ailee answered while her brother went ahead to question Isabella.
“What is it?”
“Mother is back earlier than expected and we have to leave, like now!”
“Oh shit!” The kids muttered and broke into a run.
They hurried over to their rooms to pack but Isabella went after them hollering, “Sakuzi said there’s no time to pack, he’s tracked her down and she’s twenty minutes away from arrival and on our side, we have roughly fifteen minutes to make it on time,”
“Fine,”
They let go of everything.
“Just go to the rooftop, the chopper is already there,” she informed them.
And just like the flash, they all made a course for the rooftop where the chopper was already ready to take off. They had no problem with space since it was a luxury helicopter that can seat up to ten people.
“Finally, we ended up in the chopper,” Ailee hinted to the fact that they finally found the helicopter after desiring to possess it for long.
Once seated, everyone had their heart in their throat. They wished it could go faster knowing there was a slight possibility their mother arrived before them.
Immediately they landed, none of them wasted further time to run into the house. Sakuzi ordered the pilot to take another route so his daughter wouldn’t sight the chopper and figure something was up.
Not less than five minutes later, a Rolls Royce drove into the spacious lawn and the long-awaited couple stepped out.
“Hey! Hey! They’re here!” Isabella informed them and everyone jerked down from the seat, standing at a file.
As soon as the door opened, the kids chorused, “Welcome home mother and father,”
But their mother Reina narrowed their eyes at them and they realized they had made a huge mistake.
They were not acting normal.
The third point of view:
“Hello father, I know this is sudden but we’re returning home,” Was all Reina said and her old man almost screamed her head off with a,
“What?!”
“I’m sorry I didn’t inform you on time but it sort of happened,” Reina lied through her teeth. The truth was that she had delayed telling him on purpose because she was pretty mad at him.
He knew about Angela’s ailment yet didn’t care to tell her? Although Reina was sure she wouldn’t have believed him if he had told her, in the end, she would calm down – just as she has now. So “her being furious” was not an excuse for hiding the truth from her.
“No problem then, I guess you couldn’t help it. Though I wonder why you ended the honeymoon abruptly – you were the one begging to be with him,”
“I thought the same thing too but being away from the kids so long, we discovered we couldn’t stay without them,” she continued with her lie.
And yes, she indeed missed her kids but being away from those troublemakers had been refreshing – seven years with them weren’t exactly the best experience – if you know what she means.
“Of course, a mother shouldn’t be too far away from their kids,” Sakuzi acquiesced, praising himself internally for his marvelous acting. She wouldn’t suspect a thing.
“So where are you now? On the plane?” At the least, he still had time.
Reina smirked as she answered, “What plane? I’m in the country already. To be exact, I should be meeting you guys at home in twenty minutes or so,” she checked her wristwatch. She guessed his men he had sent in secret to watch her didn’t inform him of their returning.
“What? You’re almost home?!” He screamed once more.
“Why are you so shocked?” Reina was beginning to sense something was wrong. Why was Sakuzi so jumpy? Unless he was hiding something.
“Nothing, I was just overwhelmed with Joy. Don’t worry, I should inform the kids of the good news,” her father hung up on her before she was done with the call.
Well, he must be filled with joy – as he said. Reina leaned in towards Niles who had been quiet by her side all this while.
“How are you feeling?” Niles asked, threading his hand through her hair.
“Better,” she replied, snuggling closer to him. He knew it wasn’t easy for her to abandon her honeymoon and all just to meet her mo -, I mean, Angela.
