After eating, Alice sat with Abril and talked about girls stuff
"Alice he's not interested in such things" Isabella said
"Who said I am not interested" Abril said
And they found a lot of things to talk about
It was late and they went to bed
Abril came outside to meet Isabella in the living room looking outside the window
"Not sleepy" Abril asked and she turned around and shook her head
"You?"
"I don't sleep at this time, it's too early. You guys sleep really early"
"10pm is early to you?"
"Yes" he said
"Thank you"
"For what"
"For trying to get along with my family"
"Beautiful I didn't try, your family and I just connected "
"I am sorry about my sister, how were you able to find common girly things to talk about?"
"Well I don't admit to being a womanizer or a flirt but I used to know more about these things so I could score points with the women and attract their attention" he said
"Finally you admit it" Isabella said and they chuckled
Isabella put her head on his shoulder
"Abril are we friends now?"
"To be honest even I don't know what we are"
"Then let's not give a name" she said and closed her eyes and stayed silent
"What's wrong?"
"Tomorrow is my dad's birthday if he was alive, because of you today my families were able to smile today"
"Hey I am sorry"
Abril placed his head on hers and they stayed together for a while and she fell asleep and he did too
Amanda and Alice came outside and saw them
"Mom sis trust him to fall asleep on him"
"Alice tomorrow is your dad's birthday and he gave us a gift in advance"
"What are you saying?"
"Abril brought smiles on our face, I saw Ezekiel opening up to him and he was talking to him like a big brother, you found something to talk about with him and I found peace with him"
The next day and they wished their dad a happy birthday and spent hours talking about their memories with them and Abril couldn't help but smile
At night
"Sir Abril can you take care of my sister" Alice said
"Why?"
"She's the one who is hurt most about our dad's death, we were young then but she holds onto a lot of memories with our dad and she saw how he died" Alice said and went to sleep
Just like she said he saw her with flowers going outside, he followed her
"Abril? Why are you following me?"
"It's late" he said
"This is my community you know?"
"Either way I wanted to make sure you were safe. So what are you doing here?"
"My dad was buried here, I miss him so much
After school I went to my dad's place he had just gotten off from work, he wanted to cross the road to the other side when a drunk driver hit him and didn't even take him to the hospital, I screamed for help and my dad just watched me till he closed his eyes and never opened them again" she said crying and Abril comforted her
After a while
"Thank you Abril" she said and they went home
They spent three days in that place before returning at night and Matilda had something to say
"Are you having an affair with your brother's girlfriend?" Matilda asked
"Excuse me!!!"
"Abril you left with her for three days"
"You can think and say whatever you want about me but don't say that about her"
"What do you want me to say when you were together for three days?"
"You have no right to question me, I respect you a lot but you have no rights" Abril was so angry
