Sophia agreed so nanny zo took her upstairs. Huge guards surrounded the entire area. when they saw nanny zo they blocked her.
What do you want madam!
I want to see timothy! I brought a new teacher that came to help him, so he can participate in the competition.
They looked at sophia intensely, making her gulp hard. The boss told them not to allow anyone in or out as long as timothy refused to participate in the competition.
After some consideration, they only gave way for them to stand by the door because it was locked from the inside.
Nanny zo knocked! Timothy I brought someone over, pls open the door! There was no reply as usual for the past two days. Timothy hasn't opened the door since then, even when she brings him food.
Nanny zo talked and talked there was still no reply, so she helplessly had to turn to sophia. Pls give it a try!
Sophia brushed pass her slightly and knocked on the door. Master timothy! Can you pls open the door I've got so many things for you! She couldn't act too friendly with him because of guards around.
Master timothy! C'mon open the door! She continued knocking but he still didn't open the door. Madam I don't think he's gonna open the door can I go home now?
Nanny zo was shocked, how could give up so easily, she wanted to say something when she saw sophia wink at her. she understood what she was doing and quickly played along.
Yes I guess you're right! Let's go besides If he doesn't want you as his teacher you won't be able to come here again. She elaborated on the last part very well. They pretended to walk away slowly.
Click! The door was quickly opened and a cute little figure anxiously stuck his head out. his eyes were slightly red, his hair was a mess.
Sophia felt a strong tug in her heart when she saw him like this. What kind of a father would treat his child like this, little tim was just a kid yet he had to be tough and carry so much burden at such a tender age.
She controlled herself, she couldn't act carelessly. Can I come in? she smiled and asked politely. The little guy didn't say a word to her so she took that as a yes and stepped in. Nanny zo was behind. she quickly shut the door as soon as she got in.
Sophia didn't hold back again and quickly pulled little tim into a warm embrace, she held him tight as though she could feel his pain.
Timothy was laying in bed in a daze when he heard a knock on the door, he knew it was nanny zo she did that all the time. He knew she was worried about him but he refused to agree to his father's idea. He had been trained from childhood to control his feelings and emotions. So when ever he got laughed at, he always had a nonchalant look on his face but that didn't mean he wasn't hurting on the inside.
Nanny zo was like a mother figure to him, so he didn't like the way they treated her, but she always told him not to reply or act because of his emotions. This time he just couldn't go on like this. He was still thinking of what to do when he heard a familiar sweet voice, he couldn't believe she was the one. He thought he was dreaming so he didn't move thinking his movement would affect this wonderful dream.
When he heard her say she was leaving and nanny zo said she'll never come again, he panicked! After the argument with his father, all his gadgets were taken away, so he couldn't contact her again. But now she was right here, he quickly rushed and opened the door. Looking at the pretty face before him he knew he wasn't dreaming.
...
Sophia could feel her clothes getting wet, she just let him cry. It's the first time she's seeing him behave like a child.
Little tim sniffed, sophia smelled so nice, that was one of the reasons he liked her the first time they met, she had a special scent. He felt so comfy in her embrace, that he didn't want to pull away.
Nanny watched as they held each other tightly. she knew sophia was the right person to call. Whether she liked it or not sophia already had a huge impact on timothy. She quickly called a maid to prepare porridge for timothy, she was so worried that he hasn't eaten any real food in two days.
Sophia sat down on the bed and put little tim down, she wiped the tears away. You look even better than the last time I saw you, it's like you get handsome everyday. She brushed his hair with her hand and patted his back.
The maid knocked and nanny zo collected the food from her and shut the door again. She gave sophia the food and didn't say a word to timothy. She just sat by the side and decided to watch how sophia will handle this matter.
Little tim! I thought we were friends so how could you refuse to eat? you need energy and nutrient as a growing child. How could you starve yourself for so long huh?
He lowered his head and pointed at his bag pack. Sophia immediately understood what he meant.
Snacks are not too healthy for the body little tim! How can you eat only that(cough.. looks who's talking).
Sophia fed him and the little cutie obediently ate the porridge till the bowl was empty. He was obviously hungry, so nanny zo asked the maid to prepare something else.
Sophia stared at the boy before her and her heart ached. Little tim looked at her, and lowered his head again. I'm sorry! His voice was cracked.
Timothy! Look there's nothing wrong with you or your life. You're beautifully and wonderfully made by God and he's with you always even though you can't see or feel him. Think of it this way you can't see your internal organs right but you know that they're inside you and you carry them every where you go. That's how God is, he's with you always. I won't be you all the time neither will nanny zo but he's always there.
Just because you don't have a mum doesn't mean you're incomplete you're grewing up beautifully, I couldn't even believe that you're five. I mean when my bro was five, he was still running around naked especially on rainy days. Little tim giggled. Jesus is your mom, dad, sister, aunt, uncle.... He's anything you want him to be.
Don't let anyone make you feel bad okay, besides you're super duper handsome, there's no one like you in this entire world(literally tim) you're so unique, that's how I want you to see yourself okay. I'll share some songs, and quotes that you can listen to whenever you feel sad okay!
Timothy looked at sophia intensely, he has never heard anything like this in his life. He pounced on sophia and hugged her tight. Thank you so much! I love you!.
Sophia was stunned, she hugged him back. awwn..... I love you too cutie. You know because of you my high standard became higher. looking at your face I don't think I can settle for less again.
Boohoo! Sob! Sob! Sob! Sob!.
They both turned and saw nanny zo crying deeply, she couldn't hide it no matter how hard she tried.
I'm sorry nanny zo! he left sophia and ran towards nanny zo don't cry, he cleaned her eyes and patted her back with his tiny hands just like sophia did to him.
Pfft....she laughed you're so cute she rubbed his chin. Thank you timothy for caring about me!.
I'll participate in the competition nanny zo but uhm... He turned to sophia pls can you come with me? He held his breath as he stared at her with anticipating eyes.
Me? Is that okay? I mean it is allowed? she asked nanny zo.
Yes you can go sophia! That's why I took a leave I'll be back tomorrow so you can take my place, don't worry I'll take care of everything.
Sophia thought about it, then she caught sight of the little cutie looking at her with cute puppy eyes. How could she possibly say no to that.
Alright I'll go with you. Timothy was so happy that he's face was flushed. Wait! There's a huge problem.
Timothy frowned and turned to her. What's the problem?
Sophia was wearing a white top with an old jean but it wasn't appropriate for the event. She pointed at her outfit I didn't prepare anything to wear. should I go back and look for something to wear?
There's no need for that I've got you covered. little tim winked at nanny zo, she smiled and walked to the closet to get something out.
Sophia found their behavior suspicious but she wanted to see what little tim prepared for her.
nanny zo brought out a "vintage 70's tantara pink and green floral print long sleeve skate dress".
I saw you look at it when we went to the mall the last time so I asked nanny zo to get it for you. Do you like it?.
Sophia stared at him before embracing him. what kind of a guy are you; you're swaying me off my feet. She gave him a peek. Thank you so much!.
Little tim was raising Sophia's standard high unknowingly. Not only is he handsome but he's sweet and thoughtful too.
*******
Meanwhile....
The weird old lady was restless as she waited for the results to be out. With music playing in the background she sipped her tea with elegance.
Madam the result is out! It's a complete match!. A guy with long hair and glasses ran into the office.
Crack! The cup fell from her hands. Give me the files! As she went through the files she couldn't sit still. after all these years I've finally find her.
Go and prepare the car immediately!
********
After so much talk; sophia finally agreed to apply a little makeup. Nanny zo called a stylist to take care of her. She just gave her a natural look. but she was still stunning especially with the red lipstick making her look enchanting.
Timothy dismissed the guards since he agreed to go there was no need for them to be around him anymore. Well while he was at home. Nanny zo gave sophia a room to change and the stylist took care of her there.
Timothy wore the 3 piece suit he bought in the mall, sophia helped him style his hair before she went to get dressed.
Nanny zo and little tim waited for sophia to come out. she called the school to inform them that timothy would be participating in the competition.
Sophia finally came out! She wasn't a "heel person" but she still decided to wear it for now.
Little tim gasped as he saw her; she looked so gorgeous her hair was tied in a messy bun, her eyes were like a black hole that could pull anything in. She looked so elegant he couldn't take his eyes off from her. Then she smiled! he felt that smile only, could make a mountain melt.
He walked towards her; aunty sophia don't smile at all today. You can only smile for me and no one else. He couldn't let anyone see this smile.
She smiled even more! Sure mr handsome you look so good, I've run out of compliments. The summary is you're just too good looking.
You too aunty sophia! Your beauty is out of this world. He held her hands.
Cough! sophia pls take care of him. The competition is not as difficult as you think they're just looking for bright and intelligent but most importantly children that are creative and fun. Timothy will certainly pass all. well.... except creativity and fun, he's just too stiff in those areas.
Don't listen to all those weird ladies, timothy will brief you about everything and everyone there. Don't answer any personal questions, no matter who's asking okay?.
Okay! She took note of everything nanny zo told her so she won't make any mistakes. Timothy who didn't want to go initially, became impatient as he gently pulled sophia towards the door.
Oh right! Timothy your uncle called we are going to pick him up tomorrow!
Okay he waved as he walked away with a beauty by his side.
