Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 657 - Meredith's
...***...
The tring!
The ringing sound of the phone makes its focus switch. The man turned towards the table where his mobile phone lay with a loud voice that made him tremble violently.
The man walked up to the table and grabbed his cell phone. Before actually receiving the phone call that just came in, he checked first who was trying to contact him in the morning like this.
There was written the name of the woman he loved so much. A woman who is also the mother of her children.
The man pressed the button. Immediately receive the incoming call.
"Hello!"
"Morning darling! Are you awake?" A soft voice from across there at his hearing.
"Yes, I just woke up and now I'm enjoying my coffee."
"really? Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, maybe in a minute."
"Don't skip breakfast! Especially today you have to travel, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"By the way you didn't forget today's promise, did you? We need to get to the airport to pick up Meredith."
"I didn't forget. Just chill. I'll be leaving by the morning train soon too."
"Then should me and the kids wait for you at the station?"
"No need, we meet at the airport only. I don't want to waste more time."
"All right, I'll see you later."
Their phone connections were then broken. After talking on the phone with his wife, he rushed to change his clothes. Today he had to leave for London on morning paper. He already has an appointment to pick up Meredith, the son of his adoptive brother who is coming to England for work.

He quickened his pace as soon as he saw the figure he was looking for. There, he had seen three people he knew. Wife and her two children.
"Father!" The two children ran up to him who had just arrived.
"Hi baby!" The man leaned over, hugged his two sons who came straight at him and immediately clung. The two of them tightly hugged Cato's body, releasing a stifled sense of longing.
"Papa's coming too?"
"Of course, papa promised to come too, right?"
"I miss papa..." The smallest boy hugged her.
"Papa misses you too, dear.."
His attention turned to the woman who became his wife. Like couples who have been in a long distance relationship all this time, they also let go of each other.
After all, they decided to go to the place where they would wait for Meredith's arrival with her family.
They waited for a while before Meredith finally arrived with her family. As soon as the woman arrived, they immediately left the airport.

"I'm really sorry for having to trouble om and auntie" muttered Meredith who was now sitting in the back seat together with her husband and daughter.
"Right, we really feel bad about having to trouble you guys." The man who became her husband chimed in.
"Don't worry, we're family. We should have helped each other, after all you guys in London too" Cato said. He glanced at Meredith briefly before finally returning to focus on driving the car that his wife had used to leave for the airport.
Throughout the journey they talked about many things. Regarding the plan of Meredith stay in London how long and so on.
Although Meredith and Cato are nephews and uncles, both are only a few years old. Unlike my nephews and uncles in general.
