Marriage and Annulment

I shook my head as I followed Arthur out of the building.

“He’s not allowed to be your boyfriend because he has no patience and doesn’t know how to get along. I hope if he really courts you, he should show off to people close to you.”

My eyes rolled.

“What do you expect from someone like him? But it was also better so that he would not have to hope.” I said.

We were already in the car on our way home. I was next to Mitch as she fell asleep leaning on me. It was dark all around us when we decided to go home. We first drove Mitch to her apartment.

“I’ll just call you, Zander. Don’t turn off your phone, “said Mitch, then got out of the car.

She even waved at me before entering the apartment. I was finally taken to our house. I went inside the house. I noticed the silence, as if no one was inside. Where did my mother and sister go?

So I went inside the bedroom and slept. It was nine o’clock in the evening when I woke up. I went out of the room and found my sister and mama sitting in our living room. They are wearing new clothes.

“Where have you been?” I asked them.

“Brother, you’re already there. When did you arrive? “Melissa asked me.

” I arrive at six o’clock. And you’re not home. ” I said,

“Mom and I went out.”

“Seriously? Where? ”

“Mommy got her first salary, so she tours me around the town. I have new clothes like you. ”

“Where do you have a job, mom?” I would ask.

“I was hired by your Uncle Agusto. He insisted, so I couldn’t refuse.”

“Seriously? But what about Melissa? Who’s going to take care of her? ”

“Don’t worry because Agusto agreed to let me take her to the office,” said my mother.

“Maybe she was just disturbed there.”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“No brother, I’ll just keep quiet there because mom bought me a tablet.”

And I saw Melissa get her new gadgets. I was suddenly ashamed of myself because I didn’t even think of buying gadgets for my sister. She hasn’t studied yet.

“What is your job in Uncle Agusto’s company?” I asked again.

“His secretary, from his old one, resigned.”

My mother smiled. She completed a secretarial course. She just couldn’t find a job because she took care of us. She chose to be a housewife rather than working in the company before.

I was always looking at my mom, so she asked me later.

“Do I have dirt on my face, Zander?” she asked.

“Nothing, mom, but it looks like something has changed in you,” I said.

“So what?” she asked me as she raised an eyebrow.

“It’s like you’re back to adulthood. I think it’s like we’re just the same age. ”

“Don’t make fun of me like that, Zander,” she said to me.

“You didn’t say before that you wanted cosmetics. I wish I had bought you before.”

“It’s embarrassing for me to say to you what I want to buy. So I just kept quiet, “said my mother.

I was frowning.

“These are the clothes I bought for you,” said my mother, as she handed me three paperbags.

“Thank you. You shouldn’t have bought me a dress first, so you can use your money.”

“Of course, I also want to buy you something that came from my first paycheck. ”

Thank you very much mom.” I said. My mother nodded and got up to enter their room.

I also entered the room.

I was already inside the restaurant with Arthur.

“What do you want to order, Zaneska?” Arthur asked me.

“What you ordered is also mine,” was my answer.

Arthur nodded and walked over to the counter.

The restaurant we went to was simple but the whole place was clean.

My phone is silent. Even one of Luciana’s and the girls didn’t bother to call me today, so it’s refreshing. What can they do now? So I tried to call them. But no one answered. Have they slept yet?

So Arthur returned to our table with our food.

“Here’s our order. Did you like it?” he asked me as the food was placed on the table.

“Yes, that’s okay. I’m already hungry. So I’ll eat anything.” I said.

“Really? I’ve changed you now.”

“Why is there anything?”

“No, just eat.”

So I ate so I could go home. I want the girls to see what they are doing now. After Arthur and I ate, I delivered him to my house.

“Thank you, Arthur, for the free meal,” I said.

“You’ll be the one to buy it next.” he said to me once the window closed. I already went inside the house. And I already heard a noise. That frowned at me.

“Where are you going?” I asked them. Carrying a different backpack.

“We’re going to sleep, Miss. Are you coming?”

“Hiking? Did you forget that it’s already evening?
