Chapter : 03

It was ringing exactly 06h30min, lying on my bed, I could hear a discussion from the living room. The noise and the effects of the discussion was so loud that I couldn't sleep, I went to get my headphones to put them on but unfortunately the noise was still loud.

What's going on? I asked myself.

I couldn't stand the noise for long, the way the two voices were fighting to explain themselves, it sounded like it was in an action series or a president's kid was kidnapped or whatever. I took off my helmet and walked out of my room. Once at the staircase that allows access to the living room, I stopped in the middle to listen to what they were saying. In order not to be noticed, I lowered myself and started looking at them through the small space that existed between the iron of the stairs. I calmed down and began to hear what they were talking about.

When are you going to stop blaming me John? asked my aunt with her eyes filled with fear, to see her you would think she was an innocent woman or a woman who cared about others but she was the reincarnation of the devil himself.

Therese, we have already been married for 15 years, I mean 15 years. What did you bring me besides stresses? What have you brought back besides stresses? I would like you to tell me. During these 15 years, you didn't even give me a twig of broom, not even a doll.

Really? Is that how you talk to me today John, that I didn't give you anything but stress? Thank you very much. Tell me, did you give me a chance to get pregnant? Do you satisfy me? Tell me John.

Sex? That's the excuse you want to use, we've been doing it here for a week. You told me you'd get pregnant, and this and that. Tell me where the pregnancy is?

___ You're starting to freak me out John. I have nothing to tell you and besides don't forget my nephew is here.

Your nephew is asleep and I'm not the one to blame for this fight, now you're going to give me a break. I have more serious things to do than to argue with you. I'm going to see your nephew, you're lucky he's here.

Otherwise you'll do what to me John? Kick me out of the house or what?

Away from here. I forgot, your girlfriends there, they don't advise you? Well, when you guys get together it's just to talk about stuff that has no basis in fact.

What about you? When you get together with your friends, what do they tell you? To insult me?

I'm sick of it.

I saw my aunt's husband sitting on the couch, at first I thought he was wrong to insult my aunt in this way. But now I totally understood, he was right, he was right to insult this woman who was playing innocent. Why didn't she get pregnant? You'll get to know him in front, I'm not able to talk to you yet.

Let me tell you about this man, this man that I respect a lot, a man worthy of the name, a man with no manners, when you see him, you'll think he's a really mean man, a man who freaks out when it was totally the opposite. He was a little fat, not too fat that way but he was a little fat nonetheless. I don't have a good handle on his age, but he was handsome, if that's beauty? I will say that he was the embodiment of beauty, I don't know why my aunt wants to cost that cost to make his life difficult in any case I owe part of what I have become to this man today. I am not yet able to describe him to you, but let me tell you that he has no flaws, only that he gets angry too quickly. That's the only thing I can say since it's not cool. He always put other people's feelings before anything else. His name is John, a very good name, he works in a food processing company, he is the CEO and he runs his company very well. I wonder if that's why he told my aunt not to work. I have no idea.

From a distance, I looked at my uncle who was tired of seeing my aunt's face and got up and walked towards me. To avoid being noticed, I got up slowly and went to my room on all fours, it was really comical.Arriving in my room, I took my place on the bed.

Brayane, are you still sleeping? asked Mister John.

No daddy, I'm already up.

He gently opened my room and walked in. His face was smiling a little, I wonder how he can stand that smile, how does he keep it? I have no idea, the main thing is that he is a very resourceful man. He came closer and looked at me for a while before sitting down beside me.

Are you there? he asked.

Yes, Dad, I'm here.

How are you? Aren't you bored? You're not tired by any chance?

No, Dad, I'm fine, thanks for the concern.

You know, you can tell me anything.

I'm fine.

I hope you're feeling comfortable. I didn't see you yesterday.

___ Yeah, I was already asleep by the time you got home.

Yes, I was. Go take a shower, we're going on a boy's night out, I'll make you happy.

You have to go to work, right?

Yes, I do, but I'd like to make you happy.

I get it. I'm going to take a shower.

___ I'll wait for you here.
