Mummy I got you a new husband

DAVIS’S POV

Typical Karl.

” Daddy you said mummy was already waiting at home?” I asked my dad as we were sitted in the car already headed home. He was engrossed in his phone but turned for a while and nodded in affirmation.

” Yes, She arrived at the house already.” He responded but I guess I was not satisfied with his response and asked why we didn’t pick her up ourselves.

” But, dad.” I called out for him and he dropped his phone to attend to me. I knew he felt I was disturbing him but I didn’t care, I just wanted my questions to be answered.

” What do you want Davis!!” He said and I asked him why we didn’t go to the airport when she landed as that is what was always done. I was sure daddy didn’t even send a driver to go pick her up.

” Why didn’t we go to the airport to pick mummy when she landed.” I asked him and he paused for a while and eventually responded. It felt like he needed to think about what he wanted to say.

” Well, mummy wanted us to meet her at home instead.” He said and even though his response didn’t settle well with me and I wanted to ask him why he cut me short even before I had the opportunity to ask anything further.

” Buts…” I wanted to ask another question but dad’s voice stopped me.

” No buts. just wait till we get home.” He responded and I guessed I just had to wait till we get home to find all the answers I wanted.

” It won’t take long!!!” I mumbled to myself as I turned to look at the road from the screen of the car. My thoughts wondered as I stared and I couldn’t really wait to get home.

” These are beautiful.” Dad who was looking out the door said and I turned to look too. I noticed how pretty the trees were and it bothered me that I never really noticed all of this even though I had stayed around this area for most of my life, aside the times we had to go to the Philippines for visits to dad’s parents I was always here In New York and around the area.

I started to think about the fact that I didn’t really know about mum’s family. Mum’s dad worked with Dad and that was the much I knew. He was nit really at the house and when he did come it was strictly business.

I could not but wonder what my reaction would be if I saw mum, it’s been months since she left and I have not spoken to her since.

” She didn’t even think to call me.” I mumbled again and figured that I should be somewhat annoyed with her, but I felt different as I just wanted to just see her and I hope mummy was fine. I could not keep my mind off pondering what I would ask her when I did see her.

” She had her reasons.” I said consoling myself when I felt she had abandoned me, I hope her reasons were valid enough but I really didn’t care I just wanted my mother.

Since I didn’t seem to have all the answers I figured to would be best to wait till I got home. I picked up my tab to watch some Cartoons and then suddenly I thought of Jade, the girl I met at the park and I chuckled. She had told me she was going to call me once she was home and I was anticipating her call throughout the trip.

” I hope she calls.” I muttered and now I was regretting why I did not get her number too. I reassured myself she was going to call.

” Is anything wrong?” Dad asked me when he noticed me smiling at nothing in particular. Even though the cartoon was still playing, my attention had been carried away. He tapped me and I jilted out of my reverie.

” I am fine dad, just excited I would be seeing mum today.” I replied and he exclaimed how excited he was too.

” I am excited too, I have missed her.” He said and smiled just then our car stopped, our car had collided with someone else’s who had parked along the road and trying to fix the car.

” What just happened?” Dad asked the driver and quivering he apologized and got down from the car to check what had happened.

” Am sorry sir, let me check.” He said and highlighted from the car to check what had happened and he noticed he had hit someone, he knew he was in a lot of trouble as he didn’t come back immediately to tell Dad what had happened. I noticed he walked to the owner of the car and it seemed he was apologising for hitting her car but the woman was not having it as she kept yelling and cursing.

Daddy noticed the commotion and called the driver who came back quivering in fear and asked him what the problem was and what the commotion was about. The driver explained that he had hit someone. He was quivering as he spoke as he knew Daddy would be furious at his carelessness.

Daddy frowned at him and sighed as he gave him some money to hand over to the lady.

“I will take this off your salary for being careless, give her this so we head out. We are running late already.” He said and the driver went over to give her the money but the lady seemed so adamant and refused the money. She had told him she was not ready to let it go until dad apologized. She threw the money back at the driver and he came back to tell Daddy what had happened.

” She refused accepting the money and would only let us go if you em….. em apologized yourself.” He stuttered as he spoke knowing fully well that the request would annoyed dad even more.

” See your mess right. Very well then.” Dad responded as he got down from the car motioning for me to sit tight and wait for him.

” I will be right back, let’s get this done with so we can head home to meet your mum.” He said as he removed the seat belt to get down from the car.

As soon as he got down and went over to where she was while I watched from the window. She came out her car and looked at daddy like she knew him. She called Dad by his name and I wondered who she was.

” Typical Karl, adamant as always. It funny I could meet you here after what you did to Claire.” I could barely hear them but I was sure she had just mentioned my mum’s name.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
