The Root of Suffering Is Attachment
GOOD NIGHT
Wannia fidgeted with the loose thread on her blanket, a knot of worry tightening in her stomach since Grandpa’s unsettling visit to school.
The memory of his stern face, his unwavering gaze, still lingered.
Wannia
(ahhhh*pulling her hair out*, I still don't know how to apologize to grandpa)
Wannia
(I need to talk to Kai)
She searched for his contact and pressed the call button.
(. Ringtone:
we are the night - TIRAMISU CAKE)
Kai
Nothing much, just tired.*strained*
Wannia
sorry I didn't answer your calls yesterday
Wannia
Kai, be honest with me.
Wannia
I can hear you crying.
Kai
Crying? Ha ha ha… Who? Me?
Kai
You might hear me wrong
Wannia
*sighed* Kai, tell me what happened?
Kai
He came by here earlier.
Wannia
He? Grandpa? *curious*
Kai
Yeah, he talked to Mom and Dad.
Kai
*tells Wannia what happened*
Wannia
Kai? Are you alright?
Kai's shoulders shake subtly, a tear escaping from the corner of his eye.
Kai
He said he understands Mom and Dad loved me, but… the Crimson Claw is my destiny, my family.
Wannia
I know how close you are to them.
Kai
They gave me everything.
Kai
And now… it's like I'm leaving them behind… to nothing.
Wannia
What are you going to do now?
Kai
I already talked grandpa
Kai
I agree to return to the manor
Wannia
What?!!!!!!*shocked*
Kai
For the safety of mom, dad and Gio
Wannia
Safety? Why, did grandpa threaten you?
Kai
Wannia, I think there's a reason why grandpa wants us to return asap
Kai
These past few days someone is following me.
Kai
At first, I thought it was grandpa's people, but when I asked him earlier today. he said he never sent people.
FLASHBACK conversation with grandpa
Grandpa
If that's all, then I'm going.
Kai
Wait, grandpa did you send someone to follow us?
Kai
Grandpa, I think someone has been following us lately.
Grandpa
Thanks for letting me know, I'll handle it, don't worry.
Wannia
wait, someone is following you?
Kai
that's why I want to convince you to come back with me.
Kai
Think Wannia, it is not only for your safety but for them too, for aunt Amelia and uncle Thomas.
Wannia
Actually, I'm willing to return but
Wannia
I think grandpa will not like it.
Wannia
Remember when you asked me why I was in the middle of an highway.
Wannia
I got angry with him and questioned his style of protecting his family, that's why I end up in the highway
Kai
He throws you out of the car?
Wannia
No, I got out in my own will
Wannia
How am I going to face him?
Wannia
Kaiiiiiiiiiiii help meeeeeee *wining*
Kai
*Laughing* sorry I can't help you with that
Wannia
Kaiiiiiiiiiiii*pout*
Kai
it's better to say sorry with sincerity than ask someone to do it
Kai
There's no "good night Kai "
Wannia
you're too old for it
Kai
hey we're on the same ag...
