Different point of view

Me and Miss Hinata have been talking for the past two hours. We finished eating two hours ago but we’ve just been chatting and not all about business Eva personal things things that I don’t ever tell anyone.

“ wait so you’re telling me you have three brothers and four sisters is that common for Italian families” I giggle before I answer her question.

“ I mean for the majority of Sicilian families, we do have quite a big family and 90% of the time it’s not even by choice it just happens I am the second youngest My older brother is 35. Yes that makes my parents quite old.”

“ 35 is your oldest your parents must be in their 60s then?”

“ well not quite my parents are actually believe it or not early 50s. My mum wanted to have kids young and so did my dad so they decided to have him when they were 17 thankfully I did not keep that tradition. I don’t think I’m gonna be having kids any time soon.”

“ wait so you’re 24 correct?” “ yes, I am”.

“How did you get your parents business so young? I mean that is a lot of responsibility for 24-year-old even I, a 22-year-old could never take on such responsibilities.”

“ well, I took over the business when I was younger than you, my siblings didn’t want to run the family business so I graduated university early and I decided to take over the business. I have always wanted to be like my dad, so when he offered a business to me I took the opportunity.”

After said all of that, I could see her mind ticking. I don’t know what she’s about to say or when she’s about to say it, but she looks interested. I’m not sure if that’s a good way or a bad way but she hasn’t said anything yet

“ wow, I’m impressed younger than me, how much longer because I’m 22”

“ well I’ve been the CEO of this company for three years now, so when I was 21 I took over the business”

“ you do you know how crazy that sounds right you took over the business when you were a new adult that is a lot of responsibility for 21 years old you keep impressing me”

I don’t reply, I’m trying to figure out her emotions I don’t know exactly what to think what to do. I’m definitely intrigued by her. No one has said I’m impressive not even my parents which is quite unfortunate. It’s sad that she’s wasting been impressed on me but I’m happy.

“ hey is it okay if we leave now? I know we’re having a good conversation, but I need to buy some groceries for my parents”

“ yeah of course, let me go and pay the check you wait in my car I’ll be there in five minutes”

As you walked off to the car, I go to the cash register to pay the bill as I’m waiting for the employee to take it. My emotions get ahead of me. I thought of thinking about her romantically. I don’t know either way her face is just embedded into my brain , it’s annoying and I don’t know what to think of it. I don’t know if I want to know

everything is honestly a blur, my childhood apart from a few bits and pieces. I don’t really remember any of it and I’m not sure why things don’t usually stay in my head for longer than five minutes unless it’s important so I have no idea why she’s just be playing in my head. I should probably go see a doctor.

As I finish paying for the bill, I make my way to the car and as I open the door I looked down and she’s asleep fast asleep. I’m really hoping I won’t have to carry her as that would be quite annoying.

I get inside the car and I turn it on getting ready to drive off. I look in the back and there is a list of groceries she probably wrote them. She needs to get her parents some food so while she is asleep I’m going to get them for her not for any specific reason I just feel like it’s the least I can do after putting her through a lot as much as I don’t want to do it because of her father. I know who her mother is and she’s a nice woman.

After half an hour of driving you finally get onto the main road. I look behind me to check if she is still sleeping she is I don’t say anything for a second but she is beautiful. I see it now and it’s kind of annoying not have been beautiful just ha ha, she somehow turned my life around in a good way I don’t know it’s scary.

Finally, making it to a grocery store, I leave the windows lightly down, so she doesn’t suffocate in the car. I’ll make my way into the grocery store to pick up. The items are on the list. It’s nothing major to be honest it’s just basic things like; bread, sugar, butter, milk, celery, carrots, some noodles and soy sauce.

After 25 minutes of shopping finally, I make my way to the car and put all the food in the trunk and I get inside the car again. She still asleep. Thank God, I didn’t want her thinking I run away or something unless they’re in the car, although I highly doubt she would think something like that. She is intelligent she’s not stupid.

Finally, we arrive at my house I go to wake her up and she’s not waking up. I take myself out of the car and I left that like she some Disney princess at first. I was quite annoyed that I had to carry her, but now I’m doing it I quite like it.

I tried to knock on the door whilst trying to hold her up, so she doesn’t fall a knock on the door again. There’s still no answer until someone who I didn’t want to see open the door..

“You” her Father says in a lowtoned voice. “ yes me is there a problem because I bought your child fell asleep. We went out for dinner”

“ she doesn’t even live here anymore. I kicked you out. Did she not tell you that?”

“ she did. She told me that she was banished from the family because she didn’t wanna join the family business. She still very much loves her mother if you’re not allowed to stay here at all.”

“ you’re quite intelligent, wouldn’t you think that banished means they are no longer welcome”

I’ll bring her back to the car before I go back to the door to talk to Father. “ whether or not you banished her, she still your daughter is she not it is a bit inappropriate to banish a 22-year-old daughter for going after her dream.”

“ of course, you would say something like that you took over your family business aged 21, you don’t know anything about hard work”

“ like you said, I took over the family business when I was 21 I graduated university, aged 18 that is a lot of hard work if I may say so myself your daughter bought you groceries take them and I will take your daughter. Also thank you for allowing her to work at my business so far she’s made me over £1 million. Appreciate it”

I am livid, how could put on Father treat her like she’s a normal stranger with no ounce of love of respect or even an apology. It’s sickening this isn’t family I guess now I have to take her to my family home. My house isn’t even ready yet I haven’t been sleeping now so I can’t take her there.

I get into my car again, pick up my phone and call my dad .

On call:

“ dad, I need to talk to you I have Mei Hinata with me, the daughter of the guy who is rivals to our family business she’s my secretary and she’s been banished from her family. Her dad banished her her mum loves her”

“ and what is this got to do with us son?”

“ well she need somewhere to stay in my apartment is not ready for even me so she staying at the family home for today”

“ why can’t you take her back to her place”

“ yeah, but that she can’t go to a place right now. Apparently her friend is over there with a guy”

“ Awh shit okay the only problem is we don’t have a spare bedroom your aunt is already staying over”

“ that is okay, she could stay in my room I don’t have a problem with it”

“ well okay, then your mum has some clothes she could borrow so just get here and everything else will be sorted”

“ thank you dad and also when I get home I need to speak to you about something”

“ okay son speak to you later”

I am cool with my dad and I am driving to my family home work is closed for the next three days for renovation so we won’t have to bother getting up early for work. To be honest, I see her in a different light. I feel bad for her. Her father doesn’t appreciate her. It’s like she’s the black sheep of the family evidentially no one cares about her and because of that, I see her from a Different Point of View.
