Chapter 4 Daisy

"Son, have you also been infected by Ate Carla's nonsense? Don't believe your sister too much, and maybe later on you'll be infected by her madness!" I told Elisha that Carla just laughed.

"Oh my, Sister. It's still hard to get because... I want it too!" said Carla,

I created it with my eyes. My son is in front of him, whatever he says.

"So-sorry, Sister. I said, I'm going back to my place. There are so many customers." Scratching his head, he returned to what he was doing. Elisha and I were left.

"Ma, as long as you ask me. I'm willing, as long as Uncle Angelo doesn't hurt you. All right, Ma. I'm going to take a shower first because I have to go to school at one." Elisha stood up, so I was left alone. Thinking because of what my son said.

Maybe Elisha is right. Angelo is a good person, he only asked me for a favor once. If I can do it, why don't I let him?

Evening. Holding my cell phone, I typed my response to his favor request. But I can't send it because I'm nervous. When suddenly someone spoke behind me I was surprised.

"Sister, are you still awake?" asked Carla,

I turned around and held my chest.

"My God, Carla. Why are you surprised? I'm probably still awake, is someone awake and sitting up while typing on the cellphone?" I was disgusted with Carla, because of what she did to surprise me.

"I'm sorry, Sister. It's more surprising if I suddenly grab your shoulder, right? Then I'll say... Sister, are you still awake?" He said laughing so I just shook my head while looking at my cellphone. My eyes widened when I saw that I had sent my text to Angelo, so I suddenly felt nervous.

"My God! Dead!" I exclaimed,

"Why, Sister? Who is dead?" Carla asked me,

"Your message... I sent it. He might read it!" my voice trembled,

"Huh? Why, Sister? Where have you seen a message that when you send it, cannot be read? It's okay if you don't have a load."

"No. What are you! I was even thinking a while ago if I should send it," I replied to Carla, but she laughed even more.

"To whom, Sister? Sir Angelo's?"

"No!" I refused suddenly, but he shook his head while sitting in front of me.

"You, Sister. You are obviously lying. Your nose is getting bigger! Why would you stop it if you can't? Then, Sister. You have been without love for a long time. Maybe it's time for you to be happy. Just like that, I'm leaving, not forever Elisha is there too. Who would you expect? Dad? And that will be ahead of you, Sister. Or maybe Kuya Anton, do you still love him?""No! I don't have any feelings for Anton anymore," I said,

"That's right, Sister. So why are you hesitating, if there is still hope that you will be happy?"

Carla and I stopped talking when my cellphone rang and I saw Angelo's name on the screen. It was calling so I suddenly panicked.

"He's calling, Carla! What will I do?" I asked Carla confused,

"What else don't you answer, Sister. What are you," he said excitedly to me,

"Huh? And what will I say? It's your fault!" I still blame him,

"Answer it, Sister. Maybe Sir is bored," he said, even more excited than me.

My hand trembled as I pressed my cellphone, to answer the call. Before gently placing it in my ear.

"Hello, Angelo."

"Hi. It's good and you've made up your mind."

I caught a glimpse of Carla, who was smiling. So I stood up and moved away from him. Carla will only tease me, I know that well.

"Ah... what, Elisha agreed. I told you that if my son agrees, it's okay with me."

"I should thank Elisha, next time we meet again."

"You don't need to say thank you, that's okay with my son."

I felt Angelo smiling, while we were talking. So I started to smile, but Carla suddenly appeared next to me so I regained my smile immediately.

"What are you, Carla? You suddenly appear there!" I said here,

"Sister, because you're so far away I can't listen," she scolded me, so I ignored her.

"Go in there," I ordered, I still thought he would leave tonight. That's not the case, he said that he and his wife didn't go through with them.

"Angelo, I'm sorry, Carla is teasing me again," I apologized to Angelo.

"It's okay. I'm really happy with him, have you eaten?" he asked, making me lean against the wall with excitement.

"Yes. Why? Is that you?" I also asked him.

What the hell, we're like teenagers.

"Yes. Just finished reading your text made me want to eat, because I was eating earlier."

I was laughing, so I covered my mouth so he couldn't hear me holding back my excitement.

"Daisy..."

"Hmmm?"

"Did you miss me when I was gone?"

I was not immediately speechless at his question. How am I ashamed to say and confess.

"Huh? Ah... well, why did you ask that?" I asked him, but I bit my finger because I was so nervous.

"Nothing, I just want to know if you missed me too."

Did you miss me 'too'? I wanted to scream but I couldn't. Until I felt someone bite my thigh.

"Ouch! W-what is that?" I groped my thigh and got the big ant to bite me.

"How are you, Daisy? Did something happen?" he asked, suddenly worried.

"A... what, you ant. I was bitten, there are just a lot of ants here on the wall I was leaning against.""Ah, I wonder how you are, you're already in love because you're my sweetie." He laughed on the other line, so I snorted.

"Sweet bangang, what a child you are. You, Angelo. You're like a kid."

"Why? I'm still really young, I'm just now falling in love."

I was silent at what Angelo said. Falling in love? To me?

"I mean, I fell in love there with the one I liked. You are quiet there again, Daisy."

I was suddenly disappointed by what Angelo said.

"Ah... okay, Angelo. I'm going to sleep. Just text me when, so I can prepare. Good night."

"Just wait, Da-" I didn't wait for him to finish what he had to say. I immediately put down my cellphone. How am I thrilled, he will insert that girl he likes. Thank you!

I don't know why I'm nervous now. I've been staring at myself in the mirror for a while now. I'm restless, because today Angelo and I talked. Now he will take me to their house, and introduce me to his mommy.

"Mom, you look beautiful today. You look 17 years old," said Elisha, who peeked at me to see if I had finished grooming.

"You really are, Son. You're still flattering me," I said to him,

"It's true, Ma. If this had happened earlier, no time would have been wasted."

"Son, nothing was wasted. Then it's not really ours with Angelo. Remember, it's just pretend." I don't know why every time I mention that word it hurts me. It's like... I don't want to think that Angelo and I are pretending. Because for me, I really have fallen in love with him. But it's too late, because he wants someone else. It's not possible anymore, because it's too late.

"Hey, Mom. Just enjoy yourself. Don't think about your negativity, because what matters is you now. You are so beautiful, Ma." My son hugged me so I hugged him back.

"Thank you, son. You are the one who always cheers me up. That's why I'm grateful and I became your son."

"Mom, I should be the one to thank. Because you became my mother. Who thought of nothing but my welfare, so now... I will think of you. May you also be happy, Ma." I almost cried again for my son. My mother and I are really dramatic.

I let go of my son's hug, and that's when I saw Dad. Smiling staring at both of us. It seemed to be fun for me too, so I approached him.

"Dad, when you're hungry, just tell Elisha. So don't watch too much TV, that's bad. Sometimes you can get some fresh air outside, Elisha will be there. Just say it," I promised Dad,

"Son, be careful where you're going," he said in a trembling voice, Dad was able to speak, but his voice was gentle.

"Yes, Dad. Thank you."
