“Uncle Damian!” little Rai called the man cheerfully again. Huh.. My little boy seems to know this man - Damian, that was his name. I tried to recall if I knew anyone by that name, but no, no one came to mind.
Little Rai quickly placed the food container he was holding on a table nearest to him and ran to Damian excitedly with open arms.
Damian squatted down and opened his arms to welcome little Rai. But then suddenly little Rai’s demeanor changed as he stopped to stand in front of Damian abruptly. He was angry now..
“You promised not to make Mommy sad!” little Rai said with anger and karate-chopped one of Damian’s shoulders. I was aghast by his action. Why did he hit his Uncle? What if Damian got angry and scolded him?
“Rai, you can’t..” I began saying and was about to get off the bed to take little Rai away and protect him, and also told him that he couldn't just hit anyone as he liked when I saw Damian pull little Rai into his arms.
