“Ari?!” Josh says bewildered.
Sofia soon grabs Arian’s hand, “Arian let’s go get your stuff.” She said harshly.
“Sofia, wait!”
She smacked his hand away before he could touch her. “You ruined our lives… isn’t it enough.”
She said tearfully, she can’t take it anymore. His constant cheating is one thing but a bastard child.
“Sofia, don’t take Arian away, we can work this out.”
“no! You bring your bastard in here!”
“Sofia! You’re being a hypocrite right and remember Arian is still in front of us, don’t expose him to more of this.” He said calmly.
She looks at Arian then at him, “What you don’t want him to know what kind of dirty bastard you are?! He already knows after all you didn’t do a good enough job to hide it!”
Arian didn’t care about their arguments, “Julio,” he looked at Josh, “what do you mean?”
Sofia panics, “Arian, but out of this you are a child!”
“Ari, calm down, mom and Dad will work things out.” Josh gently said, trying to calm the situation.
Arian doesn’t understand, so he turns to his father “Julio? What do you mean Josh?” He asks firmly.
Josh bites his lips, he can’t lie to his beautiful and innocent child. “We’ll talk after Mom and Dad work things out.”
Sofia yanks Ari back before Josh can hug him, “Ariannae! You’re a child! It’s because of you talking about these things to him, that’s why he feels obligated to interfere in adult conversations!” She yells.
“Ari is an impressionable child whose mind is brilliant! You don’t try to understand him.” Josh defends Ari walking up the stairs to try and stop him.
“He’s a kid! Genius or not he shouldn’t be into these things!” She yells, dragging him up the stairs.
“Stop this!”
“No! You hurt me too much! Too far! I hate you! I hate you!” She yells repeatedly.
Josh grabs her shoulder, “you’re hurting Him! Let Go” he says angrily.
The two kept Shuffling, Josh trying to keep Her still and her tugging the Arm of Arian. He couldn’t take it, them! He can’t stand them. They fight they hurt each other and when they do they hurt Julio more.
“Let Go!”
He drags his hand away with force forgetting he is on the stairs only to misstep falling from behind.
“ARI!!”
Josh quickly tried catching him only to miss by an inch causing the young child to roll down before.
¡THUD!
Francy ran over to the child on the floor, Arian barely opened his eyes, slowly blinking. He couldn’t move, he couldn’t hear anything either, his body… he wasn’t in pain like usual.
“Ari! Ari!” Sofia yells.
She picks him up in her arms holding his head That was bleeding. Josh tries to pick him up but she pushes him away. “Stay away! It’s your fault!”
“Let’s get him to the hospital now!”
He commands, but Arian can only wonder when will they stop arguing.
When will it end? When?!
He wants to go home, he wants to go home. He could feel a memory slip in at the back of his mind. The one he often remembers, the one that started it. Julio…
Noah is concerned why was Arian not texting back?! He always texts back. Sihan tilts His head, “Noah, not tablets. Around the dinner table, it’s eating time.” Sihan said.
Noah nods, putting it aside, Noah pouts seeing That Amani isn’t around, “Dad’s shift seems to have gotten more hectic hasn’t it?”
Sihan pauses, “well… His job requires a lot of attention.”
“I know, I’m just saying, it’s like We don’t see him these days.” Noah stretches.
Sihan smiles, “We don’t…”
There was a moment of silence between the two before ultimately Sihan opened his mouth one more time. “Noah, what did you say to Nathaniel?”
Noah sighs, “Nothing.”
“Noah, I need to know,” Sihan repeats gently.
“It’s not important.”
“Noah-”
“STOP ASKING DAMNIT!!” Noah yells banging the table.
This startled Sihan.
Embarrassed, Noah ran from the table going upstairs to his room. Sihan looks at the table he doesn’t understand what is going on.
He feels anxious, is he pushy? Maybe he is doing too much. What’s going on with his son? Is this normal?
Should he apologize?
Sihan takes up the bowl Salad heading upstairs, he goes to Noah’s room knocking. “Noah, um… eat something. You have football practice tomorrow and you might not be well if You don’t eat properly.”
“…”
“I… I, I’m sorry if I’m pushy… I just like knowing You know… if it feels like I’m forcing you… I’m sorry. I won’t press it anymore.”
Still, there were no more words, sighing, Sihan left the tray with salad and juice at the side of the wall next to the room.
“Um… I left the bowl beside your door. I’m gone now”
Sihan Left a while later Noah opened the door taking The tray, “Stupid, you’re the parent I’m the child.” Noah mutters under his breath.
He heads back inside, closing the door. It’s not that he wants to be harsh on Sihan but sometimes Sihan makes him feel so irritated.
Noah Wants the shou To be free he is free but he Is still trying to be entangled with the gong!
If only… if only he didn’t know about the novel if only he could stop Fretting over such a matter.
Sihan lay on his bed. He just checked Noah’s door. He took the food, his Eyes felt heavy, He felt anxious.
He doesn’t understand, he Doesn’t know how to feel right now.
Is he doing things Right?
Noah is an independent child he knows that but he wishes He could rely on him, why is he so useless?
Sihan looked at the photo on the computer screen. He was trying to edit a photo He had taken for a customer so he printed And sent it to him.
But he can’t right now…
