Son of Genius: My father's Conglomerate!
Chapter 8: The foreigner
"Nice." Daren muttered softly, after they finished their dinner and Shelia was washing the dishes in the kitchen.
"Help Papi apologize!" He added, "later Papi bought Ice Cream." Persuak Daren's.
Not yet had Nici talk Shelia had come to interject, "Daren, we are friends. Although we are not husband and wife, we are still family. Nic, is your son too, I hope you understand what I mean!" Said Shelia in a soft tone.
Daren breathed a rough breath and said, "Okay, I understand. But, don't stop me from seeing Nic, and I can still visit you guys, right?"
"Of course, come whenever you can." Shelia smiled, while patting Daren's shoulder slowly.
Shelia and Nici return to their home.
***
The next day, Nici was wearing a school uniform at the home of Aunt Marry, where Shelia used to leave Nici when she was about to go to school.
Geck...Tok...!!
Shelia knocked on Aunt Marry's door several times, her house only blocked a few houses from her.
Ceklin...!!
The door opened, revealing Aunt Mary with a friendly smile, "oh Lady Shelia, let's go in!" Get polite.
"Ah no need Auntie, I have to go to work scared late. I'm picking up Nici as usual!" Shelia.
"Okay Madam, just trust Nic with me. I'll take care of him, like I'm guarding Cherry." Aunt Mary smiled softly. It was fortunate for Shelia to have met her kind Aunt Marry.
"Thank you Auntie. Nici you can't be naughty. Listen to Aunt Mary okay, don't fight with Cherry you boys give up more, Mami go first." Shelia pecks Nici's head.
Nici went into Aunt Mary's house and sat down at the soup, as Aunt Mary used to serve the same biscuits every day and a glass of milk for her.
A little girl walked out with a smile on her lips, she was Cherry Tomlinson, she was Aunt Marry's foster child, her parents were abroad, she was a little girl, they were worried that if Cherry lived in a house that was too big she would feel lonely, so they had Aunt Marry take care of her in her house only.
"Nici wait!" He chased after Nici who deliberately walked first, Nici lazy to serve this girl's babble that was always ugly and noisy. Cherry ran after Nici who had entered the gate first, her hair in the two pigtails swung following her movements.
"You're the way, don't be sparse, I'm tired of chasing you." He said with an irregular breath, Nici just remained silent not to touch the words of Cherry and kept walking while putting his hands into his pants pocket.
"Sacred." Her speech was spoiled, with a stingy face. He is upset that Nici ignores him, in the eyes of all Nici's quiet children he is not easy to get along with he is more aloof, only Cherry always follows him wherever he goes.
"Don't call me that." He said in a annoyed tone.
"Why? Aunt Shelia, call you Nici, why can't I?" Hix... The Hua... Cherry cries loudly, she feels Nici has never liked and does not want to be friends with her.
"Hey don't cry!" Nici wavered, she did not expect Cherry would cry so hard because of her words just now.
"Cherry why are you crying, baby?" Teacher Elma's mother came over suddenly, "Nic, you made Cherry cry?" Ask the gentle teacher.
"Then why is Cherry crying?"
"In-he-lang Ce-Cherry can't call him Nici, ha-just-just I-his-mother can, he doesn't want to meet Cherry, hiks...." Said faltering.
"Oh just because of that, I guess what. Don't cry, you'll talk to Nic again." Mother leads the children into class.
Lessons began, as in most children the age of Nici, they studied in the Kindergarten, they played while learning, drawing, singing and coloring.
Nici stared lazily, at the picture book in front of her, this was really too easy for her, she was tired of being in the classroom, she felt sleepy instead. Seen Cherry is coloring her picture book, it seems she is still angry about it, usually the little girl is unceasingly talking, making Nici dizzy at all times.
The break time has arrived!!
All children bring food supplies from their respective homes, preventing children from snacking carelessly. Nici opens his own provisions, there is rice and other complementary foods such as vegetables, meat and so on. Nici glanced at Cherry who had not turned her head in the slightest towards him, it felt strange if the cute girl did not talk at all.
"Ehem... You can call me Nici!" Nici deliberately raised her voice a little. As a result, not only did Cherry hear it, but all the children in the room, so all laughed at Nici and made fun of her.
"Nici?! What kind of name is that?" All the children laughed at Nici, except Cherry she looked angry, her body was trembling a little.
"Nici's a cute name to know!" Refute with rage.
"Murkey? If I don't want to be called cute, that sounds more like a call for girls!" One of the boys, Nici's classmate said while shuddering.
"Haha, she really is like a girl! And you know, he doesn't have Papi at all!" Huh uh?! All were happy, whispering.
"So if he doesn't have Papi, whose son is he?"
I DON'T HAVE PAPI! BASTARD SON! HER FACE IS LIKE A WOMAN! NOT THAT THE BULLS LOOK PRETTY!
All those words they gave to Nici, but the boy just kept quiet. Cherry is the one who tries to fight back, yelling to defend Nici and fighting with the other children. Until he got a reprimand from Miss Elma teacher for quarreling with another child, and the teacher told Aunt Marry, be Shelia also know about the humiliation and ridicule that Nici got at school.
Already since coming home from work, Shelia kept quiet in the room making Nici feel restless.
"Mommy! I'd like to buy some snacks, would you?" Nici said, trying to talk to her mother.
"Buy son, but go home soon." Answer raucously.
'Mommy must be crying again.'
Nici sighed heavily, with a shaky step she walked towards a mini market not far from the apartment where she lived. After feeling enough with what he bought, Nici quickly returned.
Uhuk...Uhuk...!!
There was a coughing sound from inside a narrow alley that he passed, Nici stopped and looked at the alley. He saw, a mature man was drenched in blood inside there, his body looking weak. Nici was silent when she saw the man's face.
"He...?!"
