Is it love

It was Sunday, and I woke up really late.

It was already past 8:00 and that day my mom also didn't wake me up.

I woke up washed my face, brushed my teeth and went straight to the dining room.

I asked mom for breakfast, I didn't notice that my mom was not there in the kitchen.

There I saw a lunchbox with some sandwiches and a note.

I took the lunch box and went straight to my mom's room, she was sleeping like a log. I think last night she drunk a lot and that's why she was sleeping this late.

Mom was really happy after inviting Mrs Ema, there was just me to support my mom since my dad got a foreign job but still, I could not help her in every aspect.

She can not share everything with me, she needs someone to talk with and I guess after Mrs Ema's shifting in our house she got that someone to share things with.

I then went back to the dining table started eating boxed breakfast and open the note to see what was written on that.

It said-

" Hey Kevin, today I have to go visit my Grandma so I would have left already while you are reading this note.

Our Mom's were very tired so I left without waking them, also I thought you will feel hungry after waking up so I cooked breakfast for you.

Also, they are not as great as your cooking but still eat those sandwiches

A growing boy needs to eat a well-balanced breakfast :p and also take care of lunch, I'll be back by evening."

I was smiling after reading that.

I don't know why I read all that in her tone but I could sense that she was taunting me.

But I was really happy because she made breakfast for me.

Then the rest of the day went pretty smoothly, my mom got up at 9:00 and she was all hazy. I said to her that you eat your breakfast and relax, I'll cook lunch today.

She replied " Don't you have your assignments to complete, just go study.

I can cook lunch."

She said all that in a low tone but then I replied " Don't worry I already completed my assignment, it was quite easy so I'll just cook lunch today.

You should drink some lemonade and relax."

I said that purposefully because she had a. Hungover.

I then cooked lunch and went to my room,

I did half of my assignment and then took a break to eat lunch with mom and Mrs Ema and then went back to do the latter half.

I was all tired after lunch and assignment so I slept, when I woke up it was 5:00.

I then went to the kitchen, brewed some coffee and sat on the couch. I was watching some action movie. A few moments later mom and Mrs Ema arrived, we were watching a movie together but then Mrs Ema said, it's getting dark and Ana still didn't arrive.

I then remembered, Ana went to her Grandma's house for a visit but she was not back yet.

I said, " Should I go bring Ana."

They were both surprised, but then to reduce the awkwardness I said,

"I was already going to shop near your previous house so I thought I will ask Ana to come home."

Now I have to buy something to show in return.

Mrs Ema then said

" Ohh, so that's what it was.

Ok Kevin, please call Ana home.

It will be dangerous if she came alone late at night. "

My mom was quiet, she didn't say a thing.

I then wore my jacket and left the home.

I cycled all the way to the shop bought something that I could show on returning.

Then when I reached Ana house, I saw Ana standing outside the house and talking with a man.

I didn't know who he was but his face was kind of scary, he was talking rudely with Ana

so I went straight there and asked

" Who are you? "

Then I turned towards her and asked

" Is this man bothering you? "

She was quiet, then suddenly he said

" I am his dad, who are you to interfere in our matter. "

I startled, but then I was quiet. I didn't know what to say at that time. But then the way he was talking with Ana was quite disturbing.

" Why your mom divorced me, just tell me. I just left that job because I wanted to do something else.

Also, they were not paying me enough.

At least you should have convinced your mom to not leave the house.

I was upset that's why I was drinking too much at that time.

(pause)

Just come back home, where are you living right now just tell me. "

He said all that very rudely. Ana was quiet, she didn't say a word but then he grabbed her hand a was saying,

" Come back home"

After seeing all this, I lost my temper and said" Hey Mr. whosoever you are, just leave her alone.

Mrs Ema has already filed a divorce. So now you don't mean anything to them.

Just leave them alone."

I said all that in a high voice while releasing her hand.

That man was seriously pissed but after I said all that, the nearby public gathered and he was not able to do a thing.

He left quietly by saying, I'll be back.

I was scared by his looks but then I said don't worry Ana, he is not going to do a thing.

When he left, Ana bursts in tears, she was crying but then I said

" It's all okay. There's nothing to worry about, I am here.

(pause)

I mean, we are here for you. "

She didn't say a thing but then she wiped her tears. I bought my cycle so in a funny accent I said,

" Today since you made breakfast for me I will give you a special bicycle ride. "

I said that to relax her mood,

She then smiled a little and said

" Okay"

She then sat behind me and we left. I was thinking about all that happened but then suddenly she pinched my t-shirt with one hand.

I didn't know why she pinched my t-shirt but I was happy, I felt like she was trusting me at that time.
