"You don't have to get Zeb from his world," I said.
He was staring coldly at me. "So, you finally believe that it is your favorite character." And said and smirked.
I look sideways. "I- I want you to return him," I said.
"What did you say?" He said demanding to repeat it but obviously. I know he is demanding an answer, an explanation.
"Please return him" I repeat.
"No" his brief firm answer.
"Why?" I asked but he returned the question to me. "Then answer me why?"
I understand his reason it is because we need him here. He is the most qualified being to stay with us and can understand and keep supernatural things a secret.
"But he has his own world and the female lead needs him," I said.
"He is going to die in his world," he said, seeming like he was checking into Zeb's background.
"He would die with the female lead, wouldn't he? Aren't you happy that you can save him? It was not really a happy story, right? He was created into that world to be cheated on and stole his power from him, to forcibly fight and to live miserably. Force to depend and submit himself to somebody weaker than him and his own kind" He said.
"He loved the female lead so much," I said.
Rosanna is a brave, strong-hearted girl who is struggling together with him. She is his human.
He sighed.
"So, you're feeling guilty?" He said. His body movement implies that he doesn't want any arguments anymore and he is not willing to return the assistant that he brought here.
"Then let's say we borrow him and after you depart I'll promise to return it," he said.
"Are you sure? You mean it?" I said. I was moved because instead of fighting over such an idea in mind. He is willing to understand my opinion and communicate with me properly.
"If that's what you need, you idi*t" he jested.
"What!?" My reaction.
It would have sounded nice without the I word and if it didn't come from him.
We end up arguing after.
Based on Amon's personality. He is the mean type of guy who has a little sweet tongue. A lot of girls fell for this type.
In short, he has a fictional character personality. It is very important to know what aspect girls always fall for, so you will be able to resist falling for it.
It'll be dangerous if he goes outside and gets exposed to the outside world. He will automatically become an ideal crush for all teenage girls.
I knew that. Since I am in my late 20's. I've been there. It'll be rough for him to live with his beauty.
I pity him for being beautiful.
"What are you looking at?" He said meanly.
I sighed. "But I guess his personality is also his defense mechanism though.
I remember I have 2 dead unborn brothers. He can take that role in my life or maybe? It would have been nice to experience having a son however his attitude is unbearable.
Amon doesn't have any gentleness. Whoever created this punk forgot to put it in him.
Hilariously speaking, I can't have a partner anymore. Maybe because I'm dying or maybe because I'm still too busy for that.
"Then lower your standards for you to find one" that's what Amon said.
Here we go again we are in an awkward conversation thanks to him.
It just started when Zeb asked if I was already married because he was curious about why I was living alone at my age.
It was not rude for him to ask that however Amon's blunt answer always makes things worse.
"You are going to be his lover," He said.
"HEY!" I said. I was furious, embarrassed and surprised.
All the emotions reach my head.
"NO! Don't believe this punk. He is just pissing me off again because I'm getting old and still unmarried." I explained.
"Are you saying that I don't have any sex appeal?" I said to Amon while I was trying to cover his mouth and turning away my attention from Zeb.
"Then we can look for a lover for you," Zeb said.
It quite hit me a little however he picked the best option to calm the situation and that is to play a little dumb and make things toleratable because he might end up hurting my feelings.
I'm thankful for his kindness.
"Why? I thought he was your ideal man?" Amon said.
Litting up the diminishing embarrassment.
"Thank you but I really don't need one" I said with a sweet smile on my face.
I flexed my arm and showed them. "Because I am a strong independent woman," I said.
"It's much more like Stupid and pathetic woman," Amon said.
And now I have to deal with this brat.
"I never thought you are quite violent, Lady Nahya," Zeb said.
My phone started to ring. My sister is calling.
"Hey, Why?" I said.
Another headache comes.
She was calling because of my mom. They cannot handle her again.
"Why didn't you call for your kuya?" Kuya is an older brother.
"He is busy," they said. I think I am the only one whom they can call for this.
Their kuya is the sibling next to me. I have 3 other siblings. An alternate girl, boy, girl, boy. However, that count is for those who are alive and together. We're supposed to be 7.
There should be two brothers before and after my young sister which is the 3rd one, and also we have a half-sibling before me whom we don't know if it's a boy or girl.
I called my mom to discuss what my younger siblings told me.
"What do you want me to do?" She said.
There is an attitude that runs into our family line. I am more like like my dad but who knows maybe I have these.
I ended up scolding my mom. There is no helping it but still, she is my mom. If he leaves just like my dad. We can't deny that we're going to be orphans now. We should take care of the last one we have because we are unable to do it for my dad. You need to lose something for you to value the ones you have.
"MOM!" Jeez! Again the thought. This will be so different if Dad is here.
Christmas season is coming and we will celebrate it all together again it isn't the same without my dad but it has been like that for years now.
Few more months I'll be visiting home for the preparation and celebration.
I guess a little Christmas vacation is a good idea. I won't feel alone again.
However, I cannot leave these two here on their own. They are now under my shed of care.
I'll think of a way, I guess to let them celebrate together with us.
I am an Asian. I am used to having a big extended family so giving a thought to drag whomsover as a family is not a problem.
I think it's a blessing to have a whole family. I guess. However, there is no such thing as a perfect family. God is still fair because surely you cannot have it all.
