Chapter 20

"Your recovering fast Mr Ramirez. I'm surprised. You're body seems healthy than before."

I heard the family doctor said when I entered our house. "Your rest helps you a lot."

"Really, that's a good news doc." I said to interrupt them.

"Chain, you're home." my mom greeted.

"Yes, mom. How is it doc? Is my dad capable to work again?"

"I suggest, lets take little by little. You know how old is he now, his body is in limit. He can't do the same as before." the doctor said.

I nod. "Well, I think dad happy to hear that he's getting healthy and strong again. Right dad?" I said sarcastic.

"Chain..." Mom scold me.

After a while the doctor say goodbye after giving my dad his list of medicines.

"Chain, you don't need to be sarcastic." my mom continue to scold.

"I didn't say wrong." I said.

"Let him say what he want." my dad said to my mom. "I know he's not happy being here in this house."

"Is it you, who's not happy to see me here dad?"

"Chain stop it now." my mom said. "Don't talk to your dad like that."

"If I'm not happy, do you think you can stay here now. And beside, I can asked Leam to look for the company anytime I want."

"Oh yah, right! Leam, your favorite son Leam. The greatest Leam. The successful and best son, while I'm just your failure. I'm go tired in hearing this. Why don't you just adopt Leam and be his parents!"

"Chain! What are you talking about? You are our son, stop comparing yourself to him." my mom said trying stop me.

"This is the truth mom. All this years I'm competing with Leam in everything. I feel I'm not existing here, even I'm doing my best to please dad."

Mom rushed toward me to embrace me tight. "Chain please don't say that... son, I love you...you know that..." my mom said crying. "I love you, you are my one and only son..." she burst in crying and felt guilty.

"Mom..."

"I'm sorry if all this time you feel that way son...im sorry we're not a good parents to you."

"No, mom stop blaming yourself. You give me everything I need. Maybe I'm not really that good. I'm sorry for making you cry. I'm ungrateful son." I said in guilty while bursting in tears also.

Mom and I stay in embrace for a long time. As if we trying to cope all the lost time we seperated. Dad just remain in silent and didn't say a single word after my mom begin to cry.

" Federico, please don't let my son leave this house again... I'm begging you... Please..." I heard my mom whispered in tears.

After the drama no one eat dinner. We decided to take rest in our different rooms.

In the morning, I planned to skip breakfast again because I don't know how to face my parents in dining table. But when I came down the stairs mom noticed me already.

"Chain, come. Eat your breakfast."

"I just have my coffee in the office mom."

"No. No. I made you sandwich and hot chocolate. Please have it first." my mom said begging.

"O-Okey mom..." I said with no choice. I seat beside my dad left side without looking at him.

I quickly had my breakfast and went to the company. I need to avoid my dad the best I can so that less argument with him.

But the thing I didn't expected is Leam sitting in my office chair when I entered my office.

"You're late." he said smiling.

"Why you're here?" I replied.

"Hey, why I feel cold in you?" he said and walk toward me. "Something wrong?" he asked.

"N-no. Im just surprised." I denied.

"uh, let me see." he held my face to make me look at him. "What happen, why your eyes swollen? Did you cried?" he asked seriously.

"O-of course not. It's just the soap irritated my eyes."

"Liar." he said. "Tell me, what it is? Did you argue with dad again?"

"A little..." I honestly said.

"About me?" he asked.

"No, not really. Is the same old issues." I said.

"Sure?" He's worried.

"Yup." I answered forcing a little smile.

"Are you also mad at me?" suddenly he asked.

"Why would I?" I asked confused.

"Because I'm also part of that old issues you referring to." He's voice has sadness.

"Leam..."

"Tell me sweetheart, are you not love me anymore?"

"What are you talking?" why he's  behaving insecure all of a sudden.

"Tell me, you still love me right..?"

"Leam, are you just mocking me?"

"Are you not love me now?"

"Why sudden, of course I love you. I always love you."

I heard his heavy sigh. "Im relief sweetheart. I love you too, so much."

"You're acting weird." I said.

"I'm just worried that you just give up on me."

"Leam...how can I do that to you. You're... ump!" Suddenly he kiss me to make me stop. He let go of me when we both breathless. "You are too much!" I said between my breath.

"I just missed you, sweetheart. Would you go home with me now?"

"Wait, the day just started. I have so much to do."

"Okey, would you go home to me later tonight?" he asked again smiling.

I smiled back. "Its depend, if we finalize the deal quickly. I can considered your offer." I said teasing.

"Oh shit, let's just sign the damn documents then go home."

I laughed. "Obviously, I guessed you're in trouble now." I said seducing him.

"Sweetheart, I just get horny by looking at you."

"Pervert!"
