( WHAT IS GOING ON ? )
*** Carl’s pov ***
I watch as tears rolls down zarls cheeks and he ran out ,I don’t want to make my parent sad by running after him but I really wished I could meet up and apologize for stressing him ,it was so late in the night but he still came. ” I thought hugging my parent as the hug feels like an everlasting hug.
they finally disengaged from it. .
son.” so you are so afraid and you thought that your dad and I left that’s so crazy please don’t you ever think about such a thing again because it’s not going to be possible your dad and I was going to be here for you here enough to protect you to guide you and stay with you forever if it’s possible.”mom said as we three move to sitting room and sat down on a long couch.

but mum I saw you out there this morning through my window and you are looking sad and unkempt even right now your face is pale , talk to me mum is there something going on with you ? are you okay are you sick ? that something happened I’m now a grown-up you guys have to talk to me what is going on don’t use any topic to cover it or that talk to me and I will listen I promise no matter what it is I will listen.”I said still couldn’t get my mind off zarl.
I watch as they both stared at each other before dad started talking
listen son is not what you think you know me and your mum are so dramatic that’s why everybody calls us dramatic couples ,it’s nothing you don’t have to think so much about that okay we just went out and we are really so sorry ,we should have informed you.”dad said smiling which I know it’s a fake smile.
you know what son , I will take your mother upstairs , today was so stressful , in fact we are exhausted just know that we’re tired we have to go and rest we will see you tomorrow okay.”dad said and stood up helping mum up mum flash me a weak smile before they left.
immediately I confirmed that they are both upstairs to their room I rushed out to go look for zarl to know whether he is still inside the compound or he already left fortunately as I was about going outside the gate even though the security man said no I saw him in the swimming pool his head was bowed and his legs deep inside the water, I rushed towards him and sat beside him I guess he felt that someone is around him because he lifted his head up immediately I sat down and that make us to face each other his cheeks are so red don’t ask me how I see it even though it’s already late at night , that’s because there is light all over my house the security is so tight my father made sure of that with strong huge men.
what are you doing here aren’t you supposed to be with your parents I will just crash the night outside because I can’t drive back I’m already scared enough to come here I can’t take the risk to go back home alone tomorrow morning I will leave before they wake up I promise.”zarl said looking away.
your cheeks are so red you look like someone that just got my mal_ treated by their stepmom or maybe got bullied I’m really so so sorry about what happened just now I saw the glares you got from my dad I honestly do not know what is going on but I have this feeling inside me that they are lying to me that there is something more than I thought that is going on but no secret is hidden on earth one day I will get to know it and when I know about it ,I will make sure I find the Solution to it.
so please stop crying I understand the fact that you confronted them because of me I also heard what you told them ,I mean everything and of course you will confront them to know why they will make their only son cry or because he wants to talk to his friends but they didn’t give me the opportunity I’m already a grown up . I understand that you felt like the bad person when you saw the three of us hugging you felt like you are the worst person ever and it’s trying to separate the happy home but don’t you ever think like that you are the best friend I have, the brother I never had and I promise you today once again that I will stick with you forever once again.”I said with a smile hugging him and I bet I saw him smile.
he raise his head and stare at me for a while before nodding.
all right stop acting like the motivational speaker here I’m very sorry I shouldn’t have to talk to your parents like that I should have waited and try to find the reasons why they don’t want me to be close to me. I was angry and mad at them because I know myself I will never be a bad influence to you I’m a good person and everybody know that I’m not lying I don’t involve in any part of dangerous business I’m real I’m a hard-working person and I love you as a little brother I can never hurt you so when you told me about that I didn’t even wait to think about it and I didn’t talk to anybody before acting and that was the worst mistake I have ever made ,one of the worsted mistake I apologize and if I really do get the opportunity to say those words to your parents I’ll be really glad but right now I bet they don’t want to see me and I can’t force myself to see them because I disrespect them to your decision they’re your parents they have every right to tell you stay here don’t go here and warn people not to come closer to you because she’s your mother,she gave birth to you , they’re your real parents but I was just being selfish and unreasonable I’m very so sorry about that I heard what you said I’m glad to hear that you can go inside I will stay here for a while is Already morning anyway.”zarl said smiling back at me.
no I’m not leaving you here alone you’re going to catch cold,or have a cold . let’s go inside my room so you can rest early morning you can even have breakfast with us you might get the opportunity to talk with my parents then after that you can go home and rest before going to work okay are I’m so sorry for stressing you this night are we going to see this morning thank you for coming I really do appreciate that and don’t forget to talk to your parents tell them that my parents are home now but they went for a meeting according to what they said even though I don’t believe that.”I mutter and zarl nodded and stood up ,I also stood up and followed him .
we entered into my room and he laid on my bed tiredly of course I know that he will be tired.
do you want to shower or we should just go to sleep.” I asked him.
I’m really tired before coming I was sleeping remember before your call came in I won’t say I’m sleeping because I could not sleep well anyway is still the same thing and I’m tired tomorrow I will take the shower let’s just sleep. “he mutter laying very well on the bed facing the other side and that means he was backing me.
good night I murmur before turning off the light
but unfortunately he didn’t respond maybe he is already asleep I thought before closing my eyes.
***the next day ***
I slept soundly my night was really good, right now me and zarl are awake we’re already dressed up for the day even though I’m not going anywhere I just have to take my bath and dress up at least I’ll go and have breakfast with my parents and to know what there reaction will be if they sees him and to know whether they will forgive him.
I still can’t believe that you took some of my clothes home that is unbelievable but I don’t have a problem with that anyway ,you can take as much as you want.”,zarl said with a smile ,he looks so handsome this morning.
of course I will take anything I want if it’s yours it’s mine even your cars and houses it’s also mine ,so I have every right to take whatever I want and right now is of use to you because you’re wearing one of it .” I snapped as we walks downstairs.
when we reach there my parents are already there and the breakfast has been served good morning son how was your night I was about to send the servant to go and call you before you come down.”mom said
“good morning mum, good morning dad fortunately I’m here so you don’t have to send anyone to call me I said ,but it seems they’re not giving the attention to me again they are both staring at something behind was that ?
I thought forgetting the fact that zarl was behind me , immediately I turn and saw who they are staring at I sigh .
mum ,dad why are you people staring at him as if he committed a crime or is he a murderer .” I snapped at them pulling zarl to sit.
and what I noticed is that immediately I mentioned whether he is a murderer the expression on my mother face changed to that of a sad look what is wrong with her she’s acting weird.
good morning sir good morning ma. ” I watch as zarl greets them nervously they both kept quiet.
mum dad he just greeted you guys did you both hear that ? ” I asked while they nodded with smile and respond to his greeting.
let’s eat then shall we ? ” dad asked and we all nodded and started eating .
