Must Read: INTERMISSION (The Love) - Season 2 - Episode 3

☆☆
I glanced at them as i was about to tell them about myself, what i never wants to tell anyone. Curiosity was very visible on their faces. I took a deep breath as i tried to calm myself, i didn’t know where to start but i have to start from somewhere

ME: i don’t know where to begin and how to begin but i must begin**i took a deep breath** i am the first son of Derick

EVELYN: what! **surprised**

COLLINS: i don’t believe this **he chipped in**

FRANK: that is a lie? **he seriously said with surprise**

MIKE: i don’t believe it

CHARLES: **laughed** this is one of your jokes; you never ceased to surprise me with your jokes. I can’t just stop laughing.

I never expected anything less than this. My dad was very popular or rather a celebrity because most of the people will do anything to meet him. And he never rejected anyone irrespective of their stature, personality or health

ME: believe it or not, that is the truth. You guys never noticed, you never asked about my parents and you never noticed my surname
They all went blank; the surprise on their faces was splendid. I didn’t know why they never asked about my father despite the fact that my surname was my father’s name. Even Evelyn that always asked about my parent never asked about their names and couldn’t even be suspicious about my surname

EVELYN: wait. I am coming

She hurriedly walked into the room and emerged with a newspaper and handed it to me. I glanced through it and what i saw nearly killed my spirit. My father was in the country the previous week and couldn’t check on me. He hooked into some presses where they asked him several questions but one caught my attention. He talked about his family not excluding me. He equally told the press that i am not living with him because i was grown up. What the heck was the meaning of all this nonsense?

EVELYN: you are that his son that he said was grown up?

ME: ** nodded** yeah

EVELYN: meet me in the room whenever you are done

She angrily dragged her luggage back into the room while i stared at my friends who were too confused to say anything

COLLINS: you hide your identity from us for just no reason. You never dim it fit to even tell us about your parents

ME: that was because you never asked. None of you ever cared about my parents, do you think that i just jumped down from heaven or evolved from ape that i don’t have parent?

CHARLES: we never asked because you never talked about them. You covered your tracks very well; you hide everything about yourself from us

MIKE: you wanted to protect yourself from danger; you wanted to protect yourself from us. So we are now the danger that you are running away from, you indirectly termed us danger Ben

I don’t know what to tell them that i didn’t meant to hide it from them; i didn’t know how to tell them that i didn’t meant to keep it away from because of danger or indirectly refer them as danger. They are really mad at me but i don’t blame them because i will feel more bad if my friend hide his true identity from me but i didn’t mean to do it. I just don’t want to use my father’s wealth to intimidate them, to influence their life; i wanted to live the life of ordinary people, to start from the root. Though my father never liked me, i didn’t hate him because i was not leaving with my family but because he never allowed me to see them, he never allowed me to have a Mother-Son discussion with my mother or Father-Son discussion with him. I never have discussion with my siblings and the worst was that i don’t even know them and they don’t know me too. It will be very hard for me to even recognise my mother and i know that she couldn’t recognise me again because of the year’s interval and my fast change in physique. I left her as a kid and now i am 17 that you will even think that i was more than 19 because of my features, strong body and my height though i still have a tender young colour and look

ME: not that, i never seek to protect myself from any danger, i never termed anybody as danger neither am i in danger. All i do was what i think was the right thing; i do anything that my instinct support. You guys cannot understand **i said as i shake my head**

FRANK: then make us understand. You don’t think that we deserved a good explanation from you?
