Benjamin

Matthew left with Jayden to buy dinner. I was left alone with Benjamin. I wasn't really close to him but he was the father I knew when I grew up. It was still awkward for me and I know it was the same for him.

We were both quiet at first, glancing at each other from time to time. I sighed deeply and started to open up a conversation.

"Dad, are you still mad with mom?" I asked.

He stared at me surprised then smiled a little.

"I'm not really mad at her. It was more like I was mad with myself. I thought she was happy with me because I showered her with all the things that money can buy. But in the end, she didn't really need all of them. She was looking for something else and I failed to see that." He answered in a sad tone.
