20: I DON’T HAVE ONE

I DON’T HAVE ONE

"Hello, mom?"0

"Hi, baby, where are you?"

"I'm in a fastfood mom, is uncle around?"

"He's not yet around, he'll be here an hour later."

"Can Clark and I go to his office? Because I already told him about the view we could see from his office. Please mom?"

"Okay. I already told him about it, I also want to meet your best friend. Hand the phone to nanny Peachy, please." The boy immediately handed over the phone to his nanny and continued eating.

"Lead the boys her at my office after you all eat, nanny Peachy."

"Yes, young madam." She hangs up the phone. "Boys, I'll send you to young madam's office after you finish your meals. But don't eat too quickly." they nodded.

After they ate, they went straight to the young madam's office.

"Mommy!" Tristan runs to his mom, and she cradles him.

"Did you have fun?"

"Lots of it, mom!" then his mom shifted her gaze from him to the other boy.

"So is this your best friend Clark?"

"Ahuh..." he went down from his mother's embrace and then pulled Clark near his mom.

"Clark, meet my mom, mom this is Clark." The young madam bent and gazed intently at the child.

"Gosh! You look exactly..." the child was bewildered.

"Pleasure to meet you, young man, I'm auntie Rona."

"Hi auntie, thank you for allowing us to be here." He said politely.

"Oh, you're such an adorable boy. Did your mom know that you'll be here?"

"Yes, she knew." The child answered shyly.

"How about your dad?"

"I don't have one." The boy looked lonely. When Rona looked closely at the boy, she was in deep thought upon seeing him.

'Why does he look exactly like him, when he was a kid?' she mused.

The young madam is determined to ask his brother if he has impregnated a woman before without his knowledge.

"Mom, can we play now?"

"Okay, you can play now."

"Yay!! Come on, Clark let's play, I've had so many toys here." The two boys then proceed to enter another room in his mom's office.

"Nannies, you can go back strolling to the mall if you like, I'll keep watch over the kids for now. I'll just call you when I need you."

"Yes, young madam.." and the two exited the office.

Several minutes later, the young madam was engrossed in her work that she did not notice that the two boys sneak out from the room to hide and seek.

Clark is the one to hide while Tristan will seek for him. Clark saw different rooms but never dared to hide there. So he decided to go to the end of the rooms to find a small space, but when he could not find any place to hide, he kept on looking for a spot. Then the child noticed that there are plenty of corridors.

These corridors are not familiar to him and when he looked back, confused about where he passed through, thinking that Tristan would come looking for him, so he continued looking for a place to hide.

He ended up in a quiet spot where no person could find him.

Next, the young lad noticed that he is already lost, so he tried to walk back. The place is well carpeted and clean, yet so quiet that he could hear his heart beat. He looked all over the place. He seems like he is a dead end, and only a big door is visible. Because of his excitement, he did not familiarize himself with every corner he passed.

He was about to go out from where he stood when he heard a man scolding a woman. He hid in a corner, afraid that the man might catch him.

"You useless whore! What did I tell you beforehand?" the man said. The child peaked, and he saw the man gritting his teeth as he spoke and could hear the anger in his voice.

"I'm sorry I could not help it! I miss you so much!" the man slapped the woman and choked her.

"I won't allow you to ruin my career, this is my last shot and if it happens that you coming here mess up my reputation, I swear, I'm gonna find you and kill you!"

Out of fear, Clark trembled then cried.

"Mommy..." he sniffed. "I'm afraid..."
