chapter 4

Franina's POV

I woke up early, more like I didn't sleep. After a little conversation between Dhiz and I on the beach, I didn't say anything to him anymore.

I left the room and left the father and son who were about to start snoring!

it's already five in the morning so I decided to cook breakfast. I don't know how long we will be here, but I am hoping that it will be soon. I don't want to be in the same place with Dhiz, it's a danger zone to me.

I have cooked rice in the rice cooker. funny but the house is complete with everything. Foods or even appliances.

"I guess he planned this to happen, huh?"

I also prepared the things I will use to cook the dish. I took the chicken out of the refrigerator and I immediately searched for crispy fry. I know this is Uno's favorite, speaking of Uno. how is my child's education? That's still exciting.

It's already six in the morning when I finished cooking. I also cooked pancakes and brewed coffee and milk.

I didn't wait long when I heard footsteps approaching the kitchen.

Dhiz opened up to me carrying Uno on his left arm while his other arm was rubbing his eye. Same with Uno. His right hand is clinging on his father's neck, while his other hand is rubbing his eyes.

It's a breath taking scene, if I could just picture it. if I could just turn everything back, but I knew that it is impossible now. My relationship with Dhiz will never be the same or fixed. Well might as well fix their relationship then. Father and son.

I don't want myself to be involved with Dhiz, as well as he won't take my son away from me. I sighed and gave up. There are still many questions in my mind. Questions I would like to have answers to. Oh well, whatever, even if those are answered, what was once broken will not be rebuilt.

"Mom?"

I approached them and quietly reached out to Uno. Uno immediately moved into my arms so I immediately turned my back on Dhiz and went to the stool.

I saw on my peripheral visions how Dhiz sighed and lowered his head before sitting on the chair across from us.

"Good morning, my little star. How's your sleep?" I asked Uno softly. I felt Dhiz stares at me. Take care of that, you're jealous!

"Mom, I don't go to school, dad said we're just here." He asked with his tiny voice.

My eyes went up to meet Dhiz's green eyes, sending him daggers. What is he saying to Uno? Runway! even my son's life, he will interfere too!

I brushed Uno's hair before pinching his cheeks.

"Tell Dad we're going home so you can go to school."

Uno blinked before smiling at me. He turned to his own father.

"Dad, let's go home so I can go to school." He said.

"Tell your mother that she can't manipulate me using you." He replied before sipping a coffee on his cup, making me roll my eyes. I hope I put moriatik or maybe Zonrox!

I'll get out of here, you'll see!

"Mom said dad, she can't manipulate me using you, okay?" my son mimicked him.

"Tell my father, we have to leave here because my mother still has a lot of work to do."

My son pouted his lips before looking back again to his dad. But before Uno could speak, Dhiz immediately fired.

"Tell mom too, she can't take me like that."

He said in a very dead serious voice that annoyed me even more. We have to get out of here! I glared at him, and he glared back at me.

"Mom, Dad, you are facing each other, but why am I the one saying it? You can hear each other, mom, dad, because we're only a table apart."

It was Uno's innocent attitude that he broke the silence and gave Dhiz and me a bad look. We were both gaping and surprised at Uno who was looking at both of us from side to side.

i had to bite my lips to surprise my laugh. Dhiz also looked away but the smile on his lips did not escape my sight.

A minute or two, Dhiz spoke to break the silence again.

"A teacher will come to teach you here, son. so don't worry you won't be able to study. "He said that I disliked him.

"Dhiz, I want a simple life for my son. I want him to experience going to school and socializing with other children, it's not like you lock him in your house." I argued with him.

"And what ?you'll runaway again? I can't take chances anymore. I'm sorry. "He said.

I closed my eyes tightly to calm myself. I ignored him. I handed Uno's milk and made him drink it. We started breakfast with me abhoring him.

'CLEAN yourself up, okay? Mom will just clean up. "

Uno just nodded before heading to the room. Now that I realize it, do we have any clothes here?

I cleaned the dishes first. Dhiz left first, I don't even know where he went. I just heard the clinking of keys and the sound of the door closing.

I know he locked us up here in this house. He kidnapped us, might as well lock us in huh?

I feel heavier with each passing hour. I know I am very stressed by the sudden return of Dhiz to my life with my mother.

I want to talk to him, but I don't want Uno here either. I don't want my son to be involved in his parents anger and misfits.

"Mom, where is dad?"

I dried my hands with a cloth before going near Uno. It crashed sitting on the floor while staring at the door of the house.

"First, why do you call your uncle Dhiz your father?" It's like I asked a question.

Tears brimmed on his eyes which alarmed me.

"Mom, he's not my uncle! My dad, dad!" Crying to say it. I quickly went to hug my son before caressing his back to calm him down.

"He's my dad, dad" he kept on mumbling while I kept on shushing him to calm down.

We were in that position when the door opened and Dhiz saw us.

The things I was afraid of are happening little by little. Will I be able to deal with whatever the obstacle may be? Can I bear to listen to the things that slapped me, four years ago?
