Rojen's POV
We are now heading home. After of so much fun that happened yesterday night and the celebration, I can now finally come back to where I am before.
I am so thankful that atleast Astro let me work for a short period of time. I got to experience this things again. One of the great memories.
After hours of travelling, we finally reached Mr. Fij's Warehouse. I saw that some of workers are already there and greeted us when we got there.
When we got out of the van, Mr. Fij was already waiting there and meet us.
"Goodmorning boys. How's your vacation? Is it great?" Mr. Fij asked.
"Yes, Mr. Fij. It was great and memorable." Reech replied.
"Good. Then I guess you are feel tired now, am I right?" he asked again.
None of us answered him, only means that it's yes.
"I guess you are." He chuckled. " Then I give this day to you all to take a rest and just come back tomorrow. You're may feel fatigue if I let you work today?" Mr. Fij continued.
"Are you sure about that, Mr. Fij?" Izen asked.
"Yes. Take a rest okay? Your co-workers agreed already and I told them that next time, they'll get a vacation too so don't worry about them." he assured.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Fij. Don't worry, we'll work hard tomorrow." Art replied.
Mr. Fij just smiled and nodded.
"Okay then see you tomorrow guys. I still have work to do." Astro interrupted.
"No. You too, Astro. Take a rest. You look tired right now. Get enough sleep." Mr. Fij said to Astro.
"Okay, Mr. Fij. Thank you so much." Astro said and bowed. I can feel the happiness in his tone like this was the thing that he waited for.
"How about you Rojen? Are you sure that you don't want to work here anymore?" Mr. Fij suddenly asked me.
"I'm fine Mr. Fij and also I just got to work here because I needed money. Now that I already had enough then I guess I'll just finish it here." I replied and smiled.
"Well, if you say so. I won't insist." He said and smiled back.
"Thank you Mr. Fij." I replied and slightly bowed.
"Ok then I have to go back now. I have to finish my work." he said and waved his hands on us.
"Mr. Fij was a really great boss, right? I mean he's not a boss. He's a great leader." Art Said.
"Yeah, I agree with that." Astro replied.
"Then I guess we had to separate ways now? I had to take a rest." Reech said.
"Yeah, me too." Izen replied.
"Okay then let's go now. Bye guys!" The both of them waved their hands and walked away.
"Hmm. This couple." Art said.
Shock registered on my face when I heard what he said.
"You knew?" I asked, still shocked.
"Hell yeah, dude. They're too obvious." Art replied.
"Well, I didn't notice until I..." I stopped.
"I know. I couldn't believe at first." Art said.
"But you didn't tend to ask? Is it okay with you?" I asker curiously.
All of them just nodded except for these two girls who still looked confused.
"You didn't hate them?"
"Why would we hate them? They're our friends. We're just being open minded." Argo replied.
"If you already knew then why didn't you asked them?" Selene interrupted.
"We don't have to pressure them by asking. I know the time will come and they'll tell us about it. I just think that they're not ready yet." Temp replied.
Well atleast I can tell that he's a great friend after all.
"Yeah. Izen was too scared when I found it out. So I think they're not ready yet." I replied.
"By the way, I have to go now. I felt so tired already. Let's take a rest guys. Bye!" Argo said. He walked away and waved his hands to us.
Astro bid his goodbyes to us too and followed by Temp.
"Rojen. I wanna go shopping. Can you go with me." Selene asked to me.
"What? You didn't feel tired at all?" Art asked to his cousin.
"Of course not. As long as Rojen's with me." she replied.
"I think you should take a rest now, Selene. I also feel tired too and I wanna take a rest." I replied.
"But-"
"Selene, give Rojen his personal time. Not all the time he'll be with you on wherever you go. Now get your things up and we have to go." Art said frankly.
Good thing Art is here. I admit that I don't wanted to go with her today. Not today. And I wish that never.
Selene had no choice but to get her things up and just followed Art as he started to walk away.
"Good for her." Fiona said sarcastically.
"You're so mean." I replied and laughed.
She laughed too and we just talked about what happened yesterday about the celebration and today while walking.
But the both of us knew that we cannot talk about the splashing water thing so we better not open the topic about it.
As we are near on Fiona's apartment, she stopped from walking and it got me confused why she stopped. I looked to where she looking at and I saw a woman not so far from the entrance door standing and looked like she was waiting for someone.
I looked at Fiona and I saw on her eyes the longing, sadness and hatred and I just don't know how to explain how her expression changes so fast.
I had no idea who that woman is until I just heard a footsteps that is coming towards our direction.
I looked at the woman who's I think in the middle 30's and she just looked at Fiona with a strange expression on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Fiona suddenly asked the woman.
"Fiona. How are you? Are you fine-"
"Just get to the point already. What do you want?" Fiona asked calmly. But I can sense on her tone that she was just stopping herself to do something that is not appropriate.
"Can I borrow money? My daughter is in the hospital and she is sick. I don't know where to get money." The woman said, pleading.
"Then you can't get something from me because both of us had no money." Fiona said and just walked away already. I just followed her and she didn't get inside of the apartment. Instead she just kept on walking.
"Fiona. Hey, Fiona. Wait!" I shouted and ran towards her to stop her from walking.
I faced her to me and I saw how the tears fell from her eyes. She was crying silently and I know how painful it is.
"Cry it out loud or the pain will stay inside you." I whispered.
She started to cry in front of me and I don't know what to do.
I hugged her and I felt the tightness when she hugged me back.
"Shh. Just cry it out. I know you need it." I said.
After about a couple of minutes, Fiona stopped crying and get her hands off of me. She wiped her tears and just saty still.
"May I ask Fion who is that woman?" I asked.
It took seconds before she answered me.
"She's my mother." She replied.
