Last time, Mai and Yoshio questioned dad about his treatment to Remi.
A memory came to me just now. I wondered the same question. I called Rémi, and we snuck out of the house one night. Rémi drove me to his place.
We were on the floor watching TV. I was sitting in his lap and I wanted to ask him so many questions. What do want to ask me, Lily? Rémi asked. Why do you assume I want to ask a question? I asked. You know you can't lie to me. Rémi replied. He smiled. We looked at each other and we kissed each other. I will ask you my question. I replied. What is it? Rémi asked.
Why do you follow my ass of father? I asked. Well, that ass of father saved me from a horrendous life I lived. I am the union of master who took his anger out on his slave. She escaped with me. He found out she escaped and to make her obey him was selling me off to an old pervert. Your father, mother and a few others found me drenched in the blood of that man's men and his. Is that the kid that was sold off? Esme asked. Stay away from him. He might attack us. Minato replied.
The slave master started to speaking.
Maldito chico ingrato, ¿así es como nos tratas? Master replied.
I took the dagger under out of his pocket. I stabbed him in the heart. He wouldn't harm us. After all, it looks like he can speak different languages but not English. Esme replied. Why do you believe that? Marie asked. He is just a kid in unfortunate circumstances. Esme replied. Watch what I mean.
Isme: ¿Qué idioma hablas?
Remi: Hablo francés, irlandés y español. No hablo inglés pero lo entiendo.
Isme: ¿Me puedes decir tu nombre?
Remi: Mi nombre es Jax Rémi Maire Uribe
Isme: ¿Por qué estás aquí? ¿Qué sucedió?
He's talking to us? Isme thought.
Isme: ¿Puedes decirme tu edad?
Remi: Tengo diez años y mi papá me vendió a ese hombre.
Isme: Ven con nosotras, podemos alimentarte y darte un buen baño.
Did he just get a glimmer in his eyes? Marie asked.
I got on my knees and started praying because I was free of servitude to that man.
So his name is Jax Rémi Máire Uribe. He is ten years old. The languages he speaks are French, Irish and Spanish. He can't speak English but he can somewhat grasp what you are saying to him. Oh, he also said his father sold him off that dead guy he just killed. Isme replied. That is what he just told you? Minato asked. Yeah, and he's coming with us, but we have to change his clothes and give him a bath. Isme replied. What did you promise this kid, Isme? Minato asked. Hear me out. This kid is intelligent. I can tell when he gets older he can help you out. Isme replied. Yeah, I would like to see that. Minato replied. After he helped me out. I wanted to show my appreciation for helping me. Rémi replied.
That is why. I am repaying his and your mother's kindness towards me. Rémi replied.
I never knew Rémi. I replied.
Don't feel bad for me, Lily. Rémi replied.
You know if your dad finds out about this and you sneaking over here, I am fired. Rémi replied. I know that. I replied. Why do you come over then? Remi asked. If you only knew. My dad may come off strict but he holds Mai at a different standard than me because our mother's are different. I just need a form of catharsis, Rémi. I replied. Now I see. Rémi replied. He puts his arms around me. Loneliness is contagious. Rémi thought. He looked me in the eyes and I blushed.
We kissing again.
Dad, just stop taking advantage of Remi's kindness. I replied. My mom came up to the house. Isme, why are you here? Minato asked. I had a business meeting here in Sans Francisco. I came to see my daughter. Now your being questioned about your unfair treatment towards Rémi after all he's does for you. Isme replied. Rémi, you turned into such a handsome young man. I know why he treats you like that. He fears you might entice either Mai or Lily with your looks. It's more than leaning towards Lily. Isme replied. I looked at my phone. He put his car in park. He can tell from how close you two were before she went back to live with me. That incident gave him an excuse to mistreat him and blame you for what happened to Lily. Isme replied. What do you mean? Minato asked. Yes, and Yoshio has been informing me how you treat him. Isme replied. Dad tries to ignore my mom. Don't you remember the vow we made to him nine years ago? Isme asked. We vowed we would help him out and reunite with his mother again. Isme replied. I came here originally to tell him I got in contact with his mother. She actually lives in San Jose and wants to meet you, Rémi. Isme replied. Tears ran down from Rémi eyes.
My mother is alive and escaped my dad. Rémi thought.
He rubbed his eyes.
Here is her address.
At that moment, I felt he needed this.
Stay Tuned.
This is the end of Book 1 of Lily and Mai.
I'm taking a short hiatus for new content.
