Lonely period of time

"Offff.....nom nom nom nom"

The sound of sucking plenty of noodles made Martha's face shine as she took a scoop and cupped her cheek with her palm as if she was flowing in heaven. Her face was overjoyed seemed like she was on hunger strike for years.

"Little Grape, Eat slow. No one's going to grab it, you know??" Victor was leaning his elbows on the table as he starred at overjoyed Martha. His face never left the smile he had since the beginning as he looked at the cat which is eating like there was no tomorrow without caring about her surroundings.

"Let her, Vicky. It was long ago she ate it. Ofcourse she's overjoyed because it's her favourite of favourites." Scarlett smiled as she ruffled her sister's hair.

"Why aren't you eating?? Are you fulfilled looking at her stuffed cheeks. Look she's eating like a pig, doesn't even maintain table manners. Have some, Vicky." Scarlett moved his plate closer to him that he could take it but he wasn't starting to.

"Wha dho you mean, Scarleth?? *Nom nom nom...gulp*. It was really a long time. I missed my baby. It's really tasty. Tasty than grape ice." Martha pouted at Scarlett but didn't stop stuffing her mouth.

"You can't compare them both Martha. They differ in tastes. One is sweet, One is spice." The one who stayed void all the time gave his voice(Vincoln).

"Tasty than Grape ice?? Little Grape?? I thought you love that more. Then I must change your name, huh!?? That's pretty tough to frame a new name."

Victor rested his chin in his and hissed wandering his eyes in the air as if he was giving a deep thought to frame a new name. After a deep thought,

"That's crazy!! I can't think of anything. I'm habituated to Little Grape. That will be your name. That's it." He then left a firm breath because he can't think of any name.

"You don't need to stress out, dumbass. I'm fine with Little Grape. I'm habituated for you called me that. So it's all right. By the way do you want me to do something for you??" Martha halted stuffing her mouth with noodles as she got close to Victor

"Huh!? Why do you think so??"

"Well, It's your treat."

"Hmm.... Isn't it my compensation?? But it's fine. I'll think about it. How about you stop calling me dumbass and become a best buddy to me??" Victor moved his face closer to Martha as he smiled.

"Hmm.... Dumbass huh!? That's really tough for me to stop calling you that but.....Since you're my friend now I'll try to fulfill your wish. Boon granted, my son!!" Martha showed her palm towards him as if she was a fairy fulfilling her worshipper's wish.

"Son?? Ahaha No no no, I want us to be as we've been in our childhood. Friends. Close friends." Victor waved his hands forcing a laugh upon his face.

"Du....Uhm.. Vicky, How were we when we were young?? Don't you remember?? I said I didn't know you exist." Martha said as she expressed her dubiety.

"Uh... Right!! Then we can start it over. I'll make you recall everything. I don't think it would take more effort. So we're friends now??" He then waited for her voice to be given and he smiled in pleasant curve listening her words.

"Hmm..... We'll be. Now let's get along, buddy. Don't you dare call yourself my boyfriend." She said as she stuffed her mouth again left the other two astonished.

Scarlett and Vincoln looked at eachother as if they were talking to themselves inside.

Robin: ' They're friends now??

Scarlett: 'Supposed to be.'

And then they both glanced at Martha as they smiled and mumbled inside themselves.

'So fried noodles were enough to convince you, huh. You're too easy, little girl.'

"So, Who's Nyna, Little Grape??"

Martha: ...

Victor's words made Martha stop what she was doing as her glimmering face turned dark and she rose her face to look at him.

"Why do you ask so??" Her voice wasn't this deep just a while ago as it was then. Her eyes weren't shining anymore which were covered by her spects and her lips pressed against eachother representing her hatred feeling.

"I heard a lot about her. Is she still in our school??" He didn't even flinch to Martha's sudden change in behaviour and his tone didn't change too.

"Didn't you say you want to be friends with me?? Why are you mocking me now??" The atmosphere turned different to that just a while ago.

"So she mocks you up huh!! I got that. Okay let's forget about it." He then said as he scooped bunch of strands and extended his hand.

"Ahhh....." He said as he wanted to feed the angry cat above him. But to his wonder she shook and lowered her head.

Vincoln and Scarlett who were just being pleasant with Martha's attitude left astonished as they looked steady at her raging anger. Vincoln then turned to Scarlett, poked her feet under the table and when Scarlett gained her senses, she moved her head closer and dropped her ear to him, he begun to whisper in her ear.

'Hey, who's this Nyna?? Why's our little cat started raging out of blue when my mocking brother brought her topic?? What's the matter??' He was astonished looking at the joyous Martha changing her attitude out of nowhere.

'It was Nyna who was the reason Martha had bad terms in her school life. You know nothing about her being in school before you entered here. There's a lot you have to know. We'll talk about this later.' Scarlett words made Vincoln fall in even deep thought about Martha's school life before they bounce back into her life. He didn't think that the girl who always didn't give a damn about any matters back then actually experienced lonely period of time in her early age.

'Later?? When??' He didn't want to delay to know about her and he wanted to settle it up totally.

'Eat first.'

...

On the terrace,

Scarlett, and the guys were standing across eachother, there wasn't Martha since Scarlett assigned her errands in the home to be done. She explained Martha that she was going to meet her friend to discuss about her tutor and she handed up her assignments to her to be done.

"So, Who's this Nyna?? Why did Little Grape rage like that when she heard me mentioning her name??" Victor wasn't supposed to delay the question as he asked with his firm tone.

"Did you guys remember Penny??"

[Sorry guys I had an exam today. I had to prepare for that yesterday so I couldn't update a chapter.]
