“Colton!! Are you going to speak, or should I call Sophia?” Eden asked even though she knew everything, but she wanted to see whether Colton would be honest with her or lie to her.
“I’m sorry, Aunt Eden. I was just trying to look for my dad.”, He finally looked at her and apologized. “Why is he not with us? Why doesn’t he visit us? Doesn’t he love us?”
“It’s not like that, sweetheart. Every father loves his child.”
“Then, unlike other fathers, why is he not with us? He doesn’t even call us. Why is that? It means only one thing that he doesn’t care or love us.”
“Colton, baby! You shouldn’t say these things about your dad.”, Eden said to clear his misconception about his dad.
“Why?”
Eden looked at Colton, who was quite persistent in knowing about his father, and he wouldn’t listen to anything else until he got his answer.
“Fine. I will tell you but dare you open your mouth in front of Sophia, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Your father doesn’t know about your and Calvin’s existence. Just like you don’t know anything about your dad. In the same way, your dad knows nothing about you two.”
“What? How?”
“Because Sophia never told him.”
“Just like she didn’t tell us about dad.”
“Hmm. Kind of.”
“So, Mom is the villain in the story?” Colton asked, not understanding the reason why his mother did something like that.
“No, sweetheart. She is not a villain. It’s just around five years back, your mom and dad had a fight, and after that, they stopped talking to each other. Just like sometimes you stop talking to your friend after fighting with him or her.”, Eden explained instead of using the word ‘DIVORCE.,’ And if that topic would have risen then, she would also tell the back story behind it, which neither did Eden nor Arya knew.
They both only knew about the incident after Sophia tried to kill herself. Sophia rarely mentioned her past because that was a touchy subject for her because she had lost her daughter because of whatever thing happened in the past.
“But I start talking with my every friend after a few hours of fight.”, Colton replied.
“That’s what kids do, but the fight between Adults is a bit different.”, Eden explained.
‘Mom tells me to end the fight with my friends or Calvin on the same day by either apologizing or forgiving them. Then why didn’t she end her fight with dad? Why did neither of them apologize nor forgive each other?
“Aunt Eden?”
“Hmm”
“Did I do right?” he asked in a low tone because now he doubted the action which had been pulled a moment before. What if things would turn sourer than previously? What if whatever he did would give his parents one more point to fight again?
“Do you regret using your dad’s car?” Eden asked, on which Colton shook his head. “Then you already know whether you did right or not. Moreover, don’t overthink too much because what did you do today. I have a feeling that you’re soon going to meet your father.”
“You think so?”
“Hmm!! By observing how you think, I can already imagine how smart your dad can be! If he wouldn’t change his number, then I’m must that he would have received the notification of this transaction by now. And though it, he can reach near you.”
“I can’t wait to meet him.”
“Don’t be so excited, Kid. That can be only possible ONLY if he wouldn’t have changed his number of Emails.”, Eden said and made him sit near Calvin. Arya had already ordered Pizza for everyone, and both Calvin and Arya were waiting for both of them.
“What’s in that bag?” Calvin asked, pointing his finger toward the bag that Eden kept near him.
“There are toys for you.”, Colton replied. “And here, this is a chocolate bar for you.”
“Thank you.”, Calvin chirped, and he tried to look at what toys his brother had brought for him.
“Calvin, sit straight and finish your Pizza. You will be getting these toys at home.”
“Okay, Aunt, Eden.” he nodded his head like an obedient child and then whispered in Colton’s ear, “Did you get caught?”
“I will tell you about it at home.”, Colton whispered in his ear.
They both nodded their heads and waited to reach home.
*****
When everyone reached home, Sophia was already waiting for all of them. Calvin’s smile immediately dropped, spotting her. He remembered how pissed his mother was before she left the apartment. He hid behind his brother so that she would slap him or spank him.
Sophia reached near Colton, who was also trying his best to hide his brother, but whom he was kidding. They are both of the same sizes.
Sophia grabbed Calvin’s arm and pulled him out of the hidden spot, and then picked him in her arms.
“What should I do with you? Hmm. Drop you from my arms?”, She asked.
Calvin gulped his saliva nervously and spoke, “You can’t do that, Mom.”
“Why not? I’m mad at you. I can hurt you to teach you a lesson.”
“I know you won’t.”, he said, shaking his head.
“Why not?”
“Because you love me.”, he replied.
“So, does that mean you can talk to me like that?”
“No. I’m sorry, Mom.”, he apologized, kissing her cheek.
