The unlocked door opened abruptly making the cold situation between Aramis and Anna break.
"Anna.." call Uncle Ronald who came up from the entrance.
"Are you Uncle Ronald?" ask Anna.
Uncle Ronald nodded, and Anna immediately ran to hug him. Anna was crying in the arms of Ronald's uncle. Aramis who witnessed it seemed confused because he did not understand what was happening.
Uncle Ronald and Anna were both talking while Aramis was waiting on the porch because Uncle Ronald asked for it.
"I'm so happy to see my uncle again" said Anna, who sat on the floor next to Uncle Ronald's right. "Before my mother died she told me everything about what happened. He wants to apologize to you, that's what he said."
"no need. I've forgotten everything." replied Uncle Ronald. "Please tell me what happened, and why did your mother die?" look at uncle Ronald.
"Three years ago mom and dad divorced because that jerk cheated on me" Anna said, upset by the memory. "But I'm grateful they got divorced. When he was with that jerk, he always beat up mom and kept on linking things to uncle. Even somehow he was always angry when he saw me."
Uncle Ronald doesn't respond and still listens to Anna's story.
"I thought I wasn't her son, but she always said she was my father" Anna continued. "And I'd rather you were my father, uncle." added Anna in a trembling voice.
Uncle Ronald embraced the girl to calm her down.
"Six months ago the son of a bitch came to our house while I was at school. He beat my mother unconscious until she suffered a spinal fracture and concussion." Anna wiped her tears. "Until a month ago my mother died."
"Radult man! Tell me where the man is? I'll finish him off!!"
Anna held off Ronald's uncle who was about to stand up in annoyance.
"Uncle does not need to dirty uncle's hand." exclaimed Anna holding the right arm of uncle Ronald with both hands. "He's in jail now, and I hope he'll rot there."
Uncle Ronald turned to Anna and leaned the girl's head against her shoulder.
"You don't have to worry, I'll take care of you from now on" said Uncle Ronald. "Let me know your father from now on."
Anna did not answer and just cried sadly.
On the outside, Aramis could listen to their conversation, but she just kept quiet and tried to act ordinary.
Aramis moved and opened the door, causing Anna to wipe away her tears as she did not want Aramis to see her.
"It's almost night, we should continue cleaning" Aramis said.
Uncle Ronald and Anna stood up.
"Well I'll go take a shower and rest first" said Uncle Ronald. "Anna, from now on lengthen your hair yeah." asked uncle Ronald to wipe Anna's head.
Anna just nodded, answering him.
"Ars, accompany him and help him." Uncle Ronald patted Aramis on the shoulder and after that walked out.
"I'll mop the 2nd floor."
"Did you hear it?" anna asked him to stop Aramis.
Aramis nodded not seeing Anna.
Anna suddenly came back crying and this time it was so loud that the girl could not hold it anymore.
Aramis approached him and pulled him in his arms, rubbing the back of the girl.
...***...
Eleven o'clock in the evening Prothos was about to go out in search of fresh air as Aramis was now colonizing her bed, after Aramis had lent her bed to Anna.
At this time Anna still has no bed because Aramis asked her to sleep in her room. He slept in Prothus' room.
When Prothus was about to open the door to get out, he suddenly heard his father talking to Ronald's uncle. His steps stopped to listen to what they were talking about.
"I should have looked for him first, so that this wouldn't happen." said Uncle in a raucous voice. "I still can't take it. Laura's a poor woman. If only I had married her she would have been happy."
"Everything has happened, nothing can be changed. Laura's actions used to be so wrong with you, it's not your fault! You have nothing to do with everything that happened to Laura." comfort father to his grieving sister.
"I should have been responsible for Laura's pregnancy..."
"Don't say it like that!! You didn't do anything to him, he's not your son. Laura cheated on you and slept with Hendrik, you know that too!!" sahut father. "When you find out that Laura cheated on you and went that far you hated her first, didn't you?"
"It seems like it's all my fault, I'm too focused on studying so rarely see him first, even though his house is in front of our house. I should have been with him more often and not been busy studying."
"You're not young anymore, don't say things that have happened. Think like your age now. It's all your past, you don't have to regret it."
"But the girl became a kara because of her own father's actions" said Ronald's uncle. "It should have been when they moved out ten years ago that I was looking for them."
"Stop it!! That's all their household business, you're an outsider who really shouldn't interfere." exclaimed father.
"However, I still have to take responsibility for everything that happens" said Ronald's uncle.
Prothos opened the door in a fit of annoyance to make Father and Uncle Ronald see him coming out.
"This uncle is not a child. Don't regret the past!!" exciting Prothos. "It's worth not getting married until now" muttered Prothos walking out.
"Where are you going?" ask the father but not ignored Prothos.
Prothus continued walking in annoyance after hearing his uncle's words.
"He survives not getting married just because of the woman who cheated on him. What the fuck?!" grouse Prothos did not understand. "Uncle and teacher are the same."
Suddenly Uncle Ronald appears riding in a walking car next to Prothos.
"Oto, ride!!" exclaimed uncle Ronald.
In a fit of annoyance Prothos got into the car.
"So you didn't get married because of Anna's mother?" prothos asked in annoyance. "What the fuck are you? You stupid man!!"
Uncle Ronald stopped his car on the side of the road.
"You heard everything?"
"Yes, I heard your stupid story!!" exciting Prothos. "You're really pathetic uncle. Very sad!! It's only fitting that a fool like you is cheated on."
"Yes I'm a fool." I'm Ronald's uncle. "Women are complicated creatures. They can love someone but hurt them all at once."
"No! You're wrong! Someone who loves you won't hurt you." Prothos said. "What a woman named Laura did to you was selfish love not real love. True love will not restrain you and give you freedom without having to bind because with sincere love the relationship is already bound. You understand no?"
Uncle Ronald was silent.
"Today I must advise two fools." lamented Prothos still upset. "As with my case, I don't like the selfishness of my exes who want to control and restrain me, it's a sign that they don't love me but just want to have me." Prothos continued. "If you think what happened in the past is your fault, you're wrong uncle. It's all your ex's fault for betraying just because you didn't give her more time."
Uncle Ronald hits Prothos on the head, and Prothos grimaces in pain.
"Why do I have to listen to a snot boy like you?" said uncle Ronald.
"Because not all adults think adults love problems!" answer Prothos. "Uncle, forget Laura, you must find the woman who truly loves you without tying or restraining you. And most importantly not cheating."
"Let's go, I'm tired" said Uncle Ronald leaning on his body. "Then what about you? You got another girlfriend?"
"I'm not interested in boyfriends anymore" replied Prothos. "I'm going to find the woman who made me crazy about her, like my uncle said yesterday. Yes despite having to reject so many statements of love to me, and make so many women cry." Prothos smile.
"Don't you cool ass!!" ronald's uncle pushed Prothos' head from behind.
