"Yo", come down bro. And you shouldn't be clamorous-- and you don't have to get angry about this little thing bro."
"Just look at you. "Stop clamoring like I'm a mad person, right? Hey, I love you, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you bro. So why are you doing this to me? Just tell me the problem, and we will find a solution together. That's all bro."
"Hey, that's fine Garriso. Like the thing is-- I'm still overthinking madly about my dad-- bro."
"Yo", my man. Like are you for real?"
[Lefah shouted and tears started rolling down his cheeks. Typically, as an expression of distress, pain, or sorrow]
"Yeah, Garriso. Like, I still don't get why my dad did that to my ma'am. Hey, just tell me; are you happy to see-- how my old lady is struggling to make things right for us? Hey, tell me?"
"Yes bro, I am really okay and very happy to see it like this-- because there's nothing wrong when daddy is not home, and mommy is trying to make things right for her son to feel happy."
"Oh, really? And is that how you see the picture? Like there's nothing wrong when daddy is not home, and mommy is trying to make her son feel happy. Like, can you hear yourself bro?"
"Hey, come down."
"Yeah Garriso, I'll come down for you to say what you just said again bro. Like just put yourself in my shoes and feel a little bit of me and see Garriso."
"Yeah, and for real, that's what I have been trying and doing all these years-- just to make you feel happy. Can't you see it? And why am I always saying I'm the big brother? What a big brother always does, is to let his little brother feel happy and that's all bro. Or am not making you happy, just tell me?"
"Yes, you always make me happy. You're always with me and I really appreciate you bro. But for how long are you going to take the responsibility for my fu*king dad, making me happy Garriso? Tell me. This is life, and life keeps changing all dey and every night. So, what if life makes me lose you one day? And do you think I'll be happy again?"
"Hey, my man. Let life bring whatever it takes to come, bro. Like all the challenges, all the difficulties, and I promise, I'll always be with you Lefah. I have nowhere to go without you, and don't forget that bro."
"Hey, I understand that you can promise me about this bro. But I need my father, my happy mother, like my old family back. "
"Yeah, and I do understand you bro. Hey listening to me. Your mother, my family, and I, are the only family you had all these years and nobody else. So, what family again do you really want, Lefah?"
[Lefah sighs.]
"Hey, you won't understand this whole thing, Garriso."
"Yeah, and I won't understand you because you are misunderstanding me here, Lefah. Hey, just listen to me. Miss. Anna and I really love you so much, and we're going to do everything it takes to make you happy. And hey, without your response-- you know, it can't work bro. So why don't you respond to it positively so that we do it together bro."
"Hey, I am trying to get over all that, but it's not working how I want it bro."
[Garriso sighs]
"Hey, my man. Don't worry about what's past and gone. Let's forget about it and focus on us playing. Hey, you can make your ma'am a happy person again, if only you will listen to me bro. Hey stop crying and clean your ugly face before I called those kids to come and look at the old man-- crying like a baby."
[Lefah smiles at Garriso's jokes]
"Hey, Garriso. Thank you so much, and I fu*king love you bro."
"Hey, I love you more than you love me, Lefah. Let's get inside before Miss. Anna starts calling our phone, because we're really late home bro."
"Okay, Garriso."
"Hey, wait a minute, don't forget I always get your back, Lefah." [Garriso]
"Thanks bro." [Lefah]
[Door opens and closes]
[When Garriso and Lefah opened the sitting room door and got in, Miss Anna walked immediately and had her seat down]
"Hey, mum. What's wrong, hope you're good?"
[Miss. Anna sighs]
"Yeah, my love. I'm good and nothing is wrong, trust me darling. " [Miss. Anna]
"Hey, I don't think so mom. Because your facial expression shows you're not okay ma'am."
"Yo," bro oo. You heard her right-- so why don't you allow her to be my man." [Garriso]
"Yeah, Garriso is right, my love. I got this, so don't worry about mommy. I think you were supposed to kiss me when you came in, but you didn't. And you were busy asking questions. What are you waiting for kid?"
"Okay, ma'am. Am sorry. "
[Lefah kisses his mother on her cheek --just to greet her.]
"Mm-hmm, Hey --- you --- Garriso, come and kiss your old lady."
"Oh, no Miss. Anna. I am cool please --- by the way, good evening, our sweet mother." [Garriso]
"Hey, will you "shut up" and run here to kiss Mama?
[Lefah snickers]
"Hey, mom. Why don't you let him be? You know Garriso is not good enough for kissing. So let that kid be, please."
"Okay, and you guys are late today. What happened, kids?"
"Sorry, Miss. Anna -- we were-- doing something outside after school today please. You know, that was just a boy - boy chat. So, no need to tell you about it, old lady, -- and try to understand this please." [Garriso]
"Yeah, ma'am. That was a boys chat, and we can't tell you please." [Lefah]
"Oh, really? So, tell me -- since when did you guys start hiding something from your mother? Hey, hope you're not following those area girls around?"
[Both Laughter]
"No, no, no, mom..." [Lefah]
"Hmm okay, and good for you kids. Hey, so --how was school today boys?"
