Chapter 234: Another Surprise Visitor

"Hello, babe... What is happening? Why are you calling so early?"

So I asked as I picked the.

"We are outside your gate, please come and open the gate."

So she responded.

"What? By this time? Hope everything is alright."

I asked again.

"Please come and open the gate, and tell aunty that we are coming to see her."

Cynthia responded, with this, I dropped the call and dragged myself up, stretched myself after scrubbing my eyes, I quickly rushed to mom's door and knocked to inform her of the call and the car outside.

"Damian, what is that?"

Mom asked as I knocked at her door, she wasn't actually sleeping because I didn't have to complete the first round of knocking before she even answered me. 

"Mom, it's aunty Paula and Cynthia, they are the ones whose car had been beeping since."

Responded to her, and she quickly jumped up from her bed, I knew she was up because I felt her kick. She probably was also hearing the horn all the while but was just not sure if it was on our gate.

You see, on a normal day, we would have been up by now, but mom and I had to do a little rearrangement before we slept, a little rearrangement which rather took more time than expected. It was the chóres that got us weak this morning, mom and I had to keep things the way we preferred it to be, though everything was perfect, but they were not where we wished they will be, so we has to make sure that we do ut by ourselves.

"What are you waiting for? Go and open it, let me go and wash my mouth and face before they come."

Mom said and I went on to the gate to get it open so that they may enter. It was quite a beautiful house, I mean our house, the renovation was quite nice, the color of the paint mixed with the flower and the green lawn which we had earlier was so beautiful. I hurriedly walked to the gate and started unlocking the padlocks one after the other, mom got three padlocks and a thick chain which she used to lock the gate, my mom is a drama queen she really made me laugh a whole lot the other day. 

"Your alien of a father had just put a target on our back o, now everyone believes that we are rich, they will want to come and take from us the money which we have not. In his mind he had done us a favor, Little did he know that he had sent us to a state of fear."

Mom said it was really funny, that was why she had to go and get all the padlocks and this gigantic chain which she said that we must use to tie around the lock of the gate before using the padlocks In it.

So after I have succeeded in unlocking all the padlocks, I opened the gate on both sides and they from in, I recognized that car, it was fake dad's, I wondered what fake dad will be doing here by this time, and why was he with Cynthia and family. I actually had mixed thoughts when I opened the door, I knew that he was mad at mom, he wouldn't even let her talk to him before we left, he treated her like she was one disgusting person, and I really do not like that, I like him, yes I have come to like him, and I feel bad for using him, but that does not mean that he will go and treat my mom like she was less a human all because she had me with dad. I actually wondered what he was doing here this early.

So after they had entered I pushed back the gate and locked it back quickly to join them inside, I saw how fake dad was acting all sober and apologetic, he even tried to talk to me which I found strange, it was supposed to be disgusting to him, I am a merman, a fish-man, yeah, a fish-man, that is what they often call me when I sneak into their head.

"Damian, you won't greet me?"

So he said. I actually know that, yeah, I understand it, he was not asking for my greeting, he was only seeking a conversation with me.

"Good morning sir."

I actually was trying to escape the conversation that was why I didn't greet him earlier, I felt embarrassed by him, only the thought of what mom and I did to him made me feel ashamed, that was why I tried to evade anything that might lead to a talk between us, but he really wanted to talk, he literally wanted what I was trying to run from.

"Come here."

So he said stretching his hand like he wanted to shake me, and sluggishly stretched out my hand for a handshake, I stretched the right hand and with my left, I supported the hand, this was how mom thought me to take the older ones. But as I stretched my hand he grabbed it and dragged me closer to himself, he held me tightly, shoulder to shoulder he held me, and then he asked me of mom.

"Tell me, how is your mom? Hope she is good."

So he asked.

"She is good sir."

So I responded, now I was all acting confused, yes I was confused, I really do not know why he will be acting all nice, It was only yesterday that we left his home with him extremely mad at us. Well, whatever it was, I pray it should not make my mom feel bad. So we all walked inside, I walked side by side with fake dad who seem to never want to leave me.
