Chapter 68 - I Don't Think He's My Real Dad

[Garriso takes a deep breath immediately] "Hmm, she is the problem now, my man. My little sister will surely miss us, but she will be fine. And she even told me the last time that she now has a best friend who always comes and plays with her at home. So, Ava got this, bro."

"That's cool. Miss Vivi even told me about Ava's new girlfriend the last time she called my phone. Um, you know, that little girl sounds happy, but she misses us too. When I had the chance to speak with Ava on the phone, that little girl told me a lot, Garriso. "

"And you didn't tell me about it or to give the phone to me, maybe to talk to them..."

"Oh, are you for real? But I think you also have your own phone in your pocket, so, why don't you call them now if you really miss the family. " [Lefah giggles]

"Oh, like seriously, you are just crazy, and I won't mind bro."

"Hey, that was my lucky day when I had the sweetest mother. We have to call my phone. So, I had no option."

"Hmm, crazy you're bro."

"Hey, I am not crazy. You may not understand how I really love Miss Vivian, bro. "

"Oh, I see. Miss Vivian is a good mother, but I didn't grow up under her care. I mean my own mother's responsibilities. "I really love Miss Vivi, but hey, the love I had for Miss Anna is much stronger than my own mother's and I don't know why. Like I don't even feel Miss Vivi is my real mother."

"Hey, excuse those words, bro. Because you really sound crazy and funny. Hey, Miss Vivi is your own mother, and you should love her more Garriso. "

"Yeah, I love her, but I am for real about Miss Anna, bro. Like I imagine if not Miss Anna all this while."

[Lefah sighs] "Hmm." Um, you know, this reminds me of when we were 5 years old. I mean when you are crying like a baby that you won't go back home but want to stay with Miss Anna. Uh, you know, that day I realized the best brother I ever had in my life. "

"Hey, fuck you bro. Why would you say I was crying because I wasn't crying..."

"Oh, I see. So, should I show you a picture on my phone now? Because Miss Anna had a picture by then, and she sent it to my phone some days ago."

[Both giggle]

"Like fuck you!" That was crazy, bro. Yeah, I do remember, and the funniest part was that you were also crying, and I remember that one too, Lefah." [Garriso giggles]

"Oh! No bro. Shut up! You know, we are talking about how crazy you were crying, not me, Garriso. "

"Okay fine. I did and you cry too. That's why Miss Anna and Miss Vivian agreed for me to stay with you and Miss Anna. "

"Yeah, and that was years ago and here we are now, bro. A very sad and funny story about us."

"Yeah, bro, very, very crazy and funny too."

[Both giggle]

[Garriso's phone ringing]

"No, no, no bro. "Hope it's not what I am thinking. " [Lefah smiles at Garriso]

Immediately, Garriso took his phone out of his pocket. It was Miss Anna who was calling them. Lefah asks Garriso not to answer the call because they're going back home already.

"Hey, that's exactly what you are thinking bro. The old woman is the one calling. Let's run fast home bro."

"Hey, take your time bro. Because we are already going back home, Garriso...."

"Yeah, I know that, but let's run fast before she becomes worried, and we have been spending our time outside hours now."

"Like demn! But I thought she had changed, my man. "

"That's what you thought bro..."

[Both giggled and started running home]

[The next day, which was Sunday morning] [The church ball ringed and let the people know that it was time for church service.]

It's a church day. All families come together in one place, pray to God and listen to the word of God from the pastor or the Man of God. Miss Anna's family, Miss Vivian's family, Grandma Maya's family, together with other families who also lived in the old street, were also at the church, listening to the word of God from the pastor.

[The pastor was preaching to the church members]

[Poster's voice] "I am forever blessed and grateful to the creator of heaven and earth for the love bestowed on me, my family and the people here at this moment. You know, I am living a good life, and I am happy because the creator is upon our lives in the house and our workplace. "

"Every Sunday morning starts with specific prophetic good news from the creator. And I am going to share what the creator said I should share with you people this morning. Praise the Lord!"

[Church members responded immediately to the pastor for the pastor to continue the preaching]

[The pastor's voice continues] "The creator of heaven and earth said I should talk about love and weakness this morning to my loving family here. When we say love, it comes with different meanings, because how I love my family is different from the way you also love your family and other families in this world. Praise the Lord!"

[Church members responded immediately to the pastor for the pastor to continue the preaching]

[The Pastor's voice continues] "And about our weaknesses. The thing is, how I feel, and you also feel when we are sad is also different from others. Something which made me feel worried yesterday will never be the same thing which made you also worried or sad. These are absolutely different matters or situations. I mean, we all have a different way of being weak always. That is the message I had for you this morning. Love and weakness. My topic for today is "Why are you too weak to overcome your problems?"
