Chapter 37 William Smile
Meanwhile, William just took Charice to her house before finally going home to them. Charice still wanted to talk to William, but when she got out of the car, he was about to leave. William wouldn’t have been the driver to and from school, but it looks like she has made her way to William’s mother again to accompany her, so he forced her to just drive Charice to the school because he was also going to a school program.
William got home and got his car at the gate of their house, but he noticed that the light was still on inside the house, so he was sure someone was still awake. When he got out of the car, he walked to the door in front of their house, but when he opened it, he saw Lydia drinking coffee while sitting on the sofa in the living room.
He approached Lydia. “Lydia, why are you still awake?” he asked.
It was so immediately distracting that she didn’t notice that he entered the house in such a deep state of mind. “You’re already there. I didn’t even feel you come.”
“You seem to be thinking deeply, Lydia. Do you have a problem?” He finally sat down in the chair opposite Lydia.
“I just miss my son and daughter even though they have families now.”
“Aren’t you seeing each other?”
“Every time I go home to our province, they visit, but when I’m a mother, I miss my children, especially when they are young, and they always call the word “mama” whenever someone asks what they want.” She was still smiling as she told the story. “You William, maybe you have a crush on your school. That’s what it’s called when there’s a woman you admire today.” He smiled. “Nothing,” he replied. She looked at her as if in disbelief. “Gosh, you’re sure!” But William replied with only a smile.
“I’m sure there are some girls in your school who admire you, who can’t fall for your handsomeness.”
“Oh no! Nothing.”
Lydia gives him a weak laugh. “Even if you don’t say anything, I’m sure there is, but if you have a woman you admire, there’s nothing wrong with that, but should be just up there. That’s all you have to do, because you’re young. I’m not your parent but I do not want you to hurt others just because you fell in love early but can’t stand it until the end. ”
“Don’t worry, I’ll remember what you said.”
Lydia got up with the empty cup. “That’s good. Go to sleep, and I’ll go back to sleep. I’ll wake up early to prepare breakfast.”
“All right, you go first.”
“Okay. Don’t stay here in the living room any longer.” She walked to the kitchen and then went to her dedicated room.
William leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. Later, he picked up his cellphone and, after a while, he was smiling as the screen of the cellphone faced him. He put it back in his pants pocket and walked towards his room.
The next day, there was no class because the students were definitely asleep, and sure no one was coming either, because almost half of the students from 1st to 4th year were already at school last night. That’s why Daniella is still asleep and still hasn’t gotten out of bed.
Her mother knocked. “Daniella, get up! It’s lunch time! You haven’t eaten yet!” shouted outside the room.
Daniella, on the other hand, could hardly open her eyes because she was so drowsy and she remembered that she hadn’t removed her make-up since last night, so the result was as if her eyelid had glue. She got up and looked in the mirror. She looked at herself carefully and smiled lazily. “I wouldn’t have thought I won last night with how I look today.” She just shook her head and went straight out of the room to the bathroom to wash.
After washing her face, she immediately went to the dining room, but before that she could pass through the living room of the house, and she saw her mother looking at the crown and cloth with the words, “The Most Beautiful Woman Winner,” so she stopped for a moment.
“Mom, maybe that will melt away with your intense stare,” she said in a newly awake voice.
Her mother’s forehead furrowed. “Why is this not ice cream to melt?” And wait, what do you think of my eye having a laser? ” It looked at her curiously.
“You said that, Mom, not me.”
“You!” When it was time to approach her, she ran to the kitchen.
She sat down and saw the fried fish dish on the table. She took a plate and put rice and a dish on it, and then started eating, but while she was eating, her mother sat in the chair next to her.
“You turned out to be the winning child at the pageant. “Congratulations.” It smiled at herself because she knew it made her proud.
She drank some water before answering. “Yes Mom, I didn’t wake you up last night. You’re already sound asleep.”
Her mother fixed her seat and asked what she didn’t expect her to ask. “What is your question and answer to the question so you are the winner?”
Her eating of rice did not continue with this question. It was difficult to answer because if she thinks again and remembers all the extra long answers she gave last night, her head will hurt. “My answer was good Mom last night, so maybe I’m the one who won the crown. ” She just excused herself.
“You should know what you answered last night because it was your best moment, so you won.”
She just closes her eyes. The length of what she said and the other words she just inserted in her first answer are so long that how can she still remember what she answered. “As long as Mom’s answer is good, and I was named The Most Beautiful Woman Winner, then don’t ask again what I answered. It’s long, Mom, it’s like an essay. ”
“Why is your answer so long? It can be short, but that’s really the answer to the question.”
She finished eating and while putting away the plate, she answered her mother first. “It depends on, Mom. The answer is not long and short. Sometimes it’s what a candidate wants to say or indicate based on the difficulty of the question. ”
“Is that so?” But she looked at her as if angry.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
She wondered. “Why?” she asked.
“You went through the door, didn’t you?”
“Yes. Where else can I enter the house if not at the door?” Her answer was confused.
It folded her arm. “Really? But why, when I woke up this morning, wasn’t the living room door locked? ”
She stopped putting the dishes in the sink and she remembered that she hadn’t locked it because she was so tired last night and just went straight to her room. She turned to her mother, who was now waiting for her explanation. She smiled. “What’s the matter Mom? I didn’t notice last night if I locked the door because I was so tired.”
Maria just scratched her head. “Oh my gosh, Daniella, remembered, don’t do it again, just lock the door before we go to sleep. What if someone tries to enter our house? We’re still the same woman.”
She hugged her mom. “I’m sorry Mom, I can’t repeat that last night because I’m so tired because we just walked home.”
Her mother hugged her back. “But next time if I don’t remember to lock the doors, you should also look if it’s locked for the safety of the two of us. Did you understand Daniella? ”
“Yes, Mom.” It loosened in her embrace.
“All right, I’m leaving.” There’s food there if you’re hungry, okay.” She took her bag to the living room and left their house.
