"Mom? Dad? Where are you going?" little Erika was wiping her sleepy eyes. she came out from their room when she heard some noises outside. She can hear feet rushing up and down the stairway. She and Emily just turned six years old that time.
"It's none of your business! So just go back and sleep, tweak!" The man yelled at the child. Emily was a little scared.
"Stop it!" her mother shouted at the man then she knelt. She held her shoulders, "Erika, I and your father needs to go somewhere, we'll be back tomorrow, okay." she lied.
"Ehm." Erika was so innocent not to notice anything.
"Erika, promise me you'll take good care of your sister Emily while we're gone, okay? we'll be back before you notice it." she smiled then kissed her daughter's forehead.
"Yes Mom." Erika yawned. The night is still young so she felt sleepy.
"Cherry!" they heard the father called from the kitchen, "Time to go!"'
