WAKE YOUR DREAMS
(Side story)
*.·:·.✧.·:·.*
A huge green T-Rex robot stood in the centre of their living room. It was almost six meters in height.
Kiyoko took a deep breath to control her anger. She glared at Zehan and four years old Akito sitting on the sofa.
"What's this?"
"It's a dinosaur. Don't you know mommy? T-Rex…Tirnosoures…" Akito introduced his toy cheerfully to his mother.
"Tyrannosaurs…" Zehan corrected Akito's pronunciation.
"I can see that. " Kiyoko signed and said. She glanced straight at Zehan and yelled at him," Why did you buy such a huge toy? That big transformer thing you bought last week and now this."
"Mommy, that's bongo bee transformer…" Akito protested but quiet down after getting a glare from his mother.
"Let it be! Akito wanted it so I brought it." Zehan said. He also liked buying these types of robots. He always liked it since he was a kid and that love for robots were still within him even when he was grown up.
"You two are not allowed to go shopping anymore. And we are returning this dinosaur back…" Kiyoko said with a straight face.
"No! Mommy please…I will be a good boy. I will even eat the veggies…" He ran towards his mother and hugged her. He knew his mother would give in to his demands if he does like that. It worked every time.
"I love T-Rex…please mommy…."
"It's not going to work this time!" Kiyoko said.
Akito gasped with shock and broke into tears and ran back towards his father.
Zehan patted his son who cried his lungs out.
"Let him have it! He likes it…" He said.
"You are spoiling your son. Don't get him everything he wants so easily." Kiyoko said. As she said these words, Akito cried even more hoarsely on Zehan's lap.
"Kiyoko…"
"Stop crying…Akito" Kiyoko signed and said but she could only feel the crying sound getting a bit louder the moment she said.
"Okay! Okay! You can keep it…" Kiyoko said helplessly.
Akito eventually stopped crying.
"But this is really the last time. I am serious. You can't buy this sort of toys anymore. Did Akito's dad understand it too?"
"Yes mommy!" The daddy and son duo said it in pair.
"That's good. Let's have lunch now." Kiyoko said and turned her heels towards the kitchen.
Zehan rose up from the couch with Akito in his arms. They gave a high-five to each other on successfully getting approval from Kiyoko.
"You have to finish the vegetables just as you had promised earlier, Akito." Kiyoko said from the kitchen. "I will give you lots of tasty veggies today!"
Akito gulped, 'oh no' expression written clearly across his face. He looked at his father for help.
"You can do it, Akito! You have to keep your promise or else your mommy might change her mind and return back your toy back to the mall."
"Oh my…!" Kiyoko heard Zehan and said with a smile," That's good idea! Akito you heard your daddy right? You have to eat your veggies every day or else we have to say good bye to T-Rex."
Akito felt like he was cornered.
Zehan made his son sit down on the high-chair at the kitchen table.
Akito gasped when he saw the heap of mixed vegetable fries on his bowl.
"T-Rex…T-Rex…" Akito chanted a few times before he picked up his chopsticks and reluctantly put the dreadful vegetables into his mouth.
It was not that bad.
Akito put some more vegetables into his mouth.
"Very good…!" Kiyoko gave a kiss on Akito's cheek.
Zehan patted Akito's head. "That's my boy!"
