"Dad, can you play catch with me please‽"
"The goods will be delivered right away. What did you say son‽" Asked Mr. Donald to his son. Mr. Donald was a very busy man, very hard-working and caring. Though he had to sacrifice his time for his job. Today was one of those such days where he can't have time for his family simply because of his job.
"Can you play catch with me Daddy‽" Asked Fabian in a calm tone.
"Son, I'm sorry. Daddy has to go to work. See when I see you." And with that Mr. Donald left Fabian who seems to be calm. He was already used to not having quality time with his parent.
"Mommy, can you please play catch with me‽"
"Okay son, we will play just fifteen minutes okay‽"
Surprised, Fabian could not move from the spot. When was the last time his parent ever had the for him. He hurried went to get things ready.
After playing with his mom for a while, both of them were exhausted and laid on the grassy field.
"Wasn't that fun‽" Fabian asked excitedly.
"Sure it was son." Immediately after, she received a message on her phone. "Sorry son, it seems money has to travel today."
'What?' what was his mom saying? That she will travel and leave him again? The last time she travelled, she spent six months. Now she will be doing the same again? Why does he have to be deprived of happiness‽
"Okay son, see you soon." And with that, she left. Fabian who had nothing to do just slept there. Only God knows what he was thinking. Mommy travelling and his daddy going to work, he felt like he was cursed, everything was just too easy for him.
'I will run away, maybe then I can find happiness?' He grinned at his thoughts. So what if his parents are too busy for him, he will just make the best of life and live with it. He was not like some spoilt brat. Infact, he was a responsible and obedient child. As the only child of his parents, he was doted on and offered everything that will make his life comfortable. What more could one ask, but what his parents failed to give him was a sense of family. With all the cares and money, they still failed to give him happiness but he was going to find it on his own.
"Young master" the Head Butler greeted Fabian as he walked into the mansion.
"Arrange my stuff for me, I'm going on a holiday." Fabian order.
"Would you like to inform your parents about your plans sir?"
"You know what?" Fabian asked with a mischievous smile. "If they look for me, tell them I'm busy." Yeah, he was going to show his parents what they were missing, he was going to give them a taste of their own medicine.
"Just a minute sir, we will arrange everything for your trip. I'll send the best of the servants for you."
"No need for them. Just get my things ready and I'll be gone."
The head butler became worried "But si..."
"Just do as I say." But he was cut short by the annoyed young man, Fabian. Looking at the quiet man, Fabian felt bad, even though his parents where billionaires, he still respected everyone. He never shouted at the maids or butlers but today, something snapped out of him. Maybe because he missed his parents. He quickly apologized for his behavior.
"I'm sorry Mr. Damian, I didn't mean to be such a brat. I hope you will forgive me‽" He sincerely apologized with a bow.
With a smile, the head butler, Mr. Damian accepted his apology. Of course, he knew what his young master was passing through. He just felt pity for him.
"It is okay, you are forgiven. I'll prepare for your departure now." And with that, the servants were busy preparing for the departure of their busy young master.
