Chapter 3: Meeting 2

It's been a while since I stayed in here, the place didn't change it still the same which I really want. "I felt nostalgic."

"Indeed, I intentionally rebuild the house the way it is before it's ruins." Dad. "So shall I lead you to your old room?" Asked dad. "I guess, I would like to have a stroll around first" I answered. "Well then, I guess I need to deal first your luggage then. Jave no worries for now son, beside you're already at leave so might as well enjoy your short vacation." He said then went upstairs carrying my luggages. "Enjoy your stroll son!" He added. Now where should I start?

.......🎶🎼🎵🎶🎶......

Hmm? I was about to stroll first at the library but got swayed by the melody I heard. It was a familiar tune but I can't remember what it is and where did I heard it. I decided to follow the tune and it leads me to the backyard garden and their I saw a young boy playing it's old and wooden flute. "It's beautiful" I said making the boy stop in shock. "I'm sorry sir but you musn't be here for this is a private property and the master of the house would be here in a minute, you must go now or you'll get us both into trouble." The boy said acting strangelly. I can see how scared he is. Am i that scary?

"Easy boy, you don't need to worry for I'm not a stranger to this house."

"What do you mean sir?" The boy replied with a puzzled face.

"Ahh.. so you two finally met," we got interrupted by dad's presence.

"Dad" "Mr. Salvador". The boy and I utter in unison.

"Dad?... you mean you're...." the boy said us if he solved such hard mathematical problem. "Indeed I am" I replied. "Master! Forgive my rudeness, I didn't know" the boy bowed. "I prefer you to talk casually to me young men." "But I'm your servant and not a friend sir" replied the boy. "Then i shall make you my friend little one, would you accept it?" I asked. "Can I really be your friend master?" Ask the boy. "Why not?" I answered him back. "Wow....this is the best day of my life...WOOHOO!!!!" Said the boy while jumping in joy that makes him play cheerful song with his flute. "I'm glad that you didn't become the man that I feared off when you lost them both," dad. "You just think too much". I said then pat his shoulder and continued strolling the place with a little companion.

"Brother, do you really need to leave early? Why don't you stay a little longer?" Asked the boy and he is the one who insisted to call me brother since we're already friends. "As much as I want too but I can't for I have a wife and work waiting for me back there". I answered. "Well then, I guess I can't stop you". The boy mumbled but enough for me to hear it. "Now boy, this is not our last time to see each other. On my next visit I'll be with my wife, I'm sure she'll gonna like you and so are you to her". I said to assured him but it's no effect. "Why don't we put these way, I need someone I could trust to protect and guard the house and who could it be that person?" I asked. "Uhh..HAH..IT'S I FOR I AM YOUR FRIEND AND YOUR BROTHER. Okay you can leave and rest assured brother that the house is safe under my protection". The boy answered with a joy and satisfaction in his face like a boy being a boy where you gave him a lollipop. "Till we meet again little brother". I said with a smile. "Hmm... till our next encounter brother ^_^" boy.
