Chapter 4: C4 – Father

BANG BANG BANG

The whole family was spending their time in the living room until we heard a banging coming from our door.

“Hmm? Who might it be?”[Mother]

Mom stood up with a surprised look and approached the door carefully with a knitting needle in right hand. She opened the door and there stood an unknown man.

“Derik! You came back?”[Mother]

Mom shouted surprised. She dropped the needle unintentionally to the ground.

“Haha, Ellena I got a mission in this area and here I am. You must be happy, of course you are. Hahah”[Derik]

Derik entered our house. He looked like a typical slick blonde piece of shit. His face was very punchable.

‘How? How did this trash get mother?’. I felt disgusted seeing him with my mother.

“Father” wore a dirty leather armor. On his right side was a holstered rusty sword. ‘Yeah right.. a hero. A hero who lets his family live in this shabby, while he does god knows what outside.’

“Faaather!”[Flora]

Flora ran crying to Derik. Derik looked at her pondering.

“Fona you got big!”[Derik]

“Derik, her name is Flora”[Mother]

Flora looked heartbroken, her expression told me she was about to cry. I ran to Flora to hug her.

“Flora everything is alright, I’m here”[Me]

Mother glanced at us sadly.

“Oh and who is this?”[Derik]

Derik noticed me only now. His voice was indifferent.

“This is your son, Davron. Davron, greet your father.”[Mother]

“No, he is not my father.”[Me]

I said it with a cold undertone. Mom was surprised witnessing my coldness.

“Da..Davron!”[Mother]

“No.”[Me]

Derik seemed nonchalant. He grab something out of his left pocket.

“Haha who cares. Here, catch Darling”[Derik]

Derik threw a bag to my mother. She caught it immediately. The insides sounded metallic, which reminded of coins.

“Am I not a good husband? Working hard for you. You know.. I missed your body”[Derik]

‘I hate him. Hate Hate Hate’. My fists trembled with anger. “Why can’t he be a good father? Why does he treat us like air?”

“Oh.. okay, Darling”[Mother]

‘Huh? Wait a minute..!’

Mom turned around to look at me apologetically.

“Davron, you need to sleep with your sister tonight. Mommy has grown-up talk with daddy.”[Mother]

“Mama, I don’t want to!”[Me]

“Haha, David you need to be a big boy now.”[Derik]

‘Die’

It was already night.

Flora and I laid on her bed in complement silence. Both of us were not sleeping.

“.. Litter Brother”[Flora]

“Hmm?”[Me]

“Does father hate me?.. He even forgot my name..”[Flora]

‘No, don’t think it was your fault. How can I tell her that he’s just an asshole?’. It was new for me, I never had consoled a sibling before.

“Flora”[Me]

I faced Flora and then I hugged my big sister.

“No, he must be tired after his fight with dragons! I bet he is more tired than you after helping with mother’s housework”[Me]

She moved in my arms cutely.

“Do.. do you really think so?”[Flora]

“Of course, how can he ever forget the name of the best big sister in the world!? Impossible!”[Me]

Flora fell asleep in my arms.

On the next day, Derik was already gone.

A few weeks after the whole Derik story, my mother started to behave weird. She was getting more fatigued and showed a pondering expression.

“Davron, Flora I need tell so something great!”[Mother]

One day, she wanted to speak to us about something.

“Yes, Mommy”[Flora]

I had already an inkling of what she was going to talk about.

“Davron, is everything alright? You look pale”[Mother]

“Everything is alright, mother”[Me]

“Oh, okay..”[Mother]

Mom noticed my cold demeanor and had a sad expression for a moment, which disappeared immediately.

“So.. I want to surprise you! Both of you will soon have a little sibling!”[Mother]

“Woooow, a little sibling”[Flora]

Flora’s eyes were sparkling, while I was being silent.

“..Davron, are you not happy?”[Flora]

“I’m also happy.”[Me]

I tried to smile.‘I’m such an asshole. I should be happy for mother, and instead I’m sulking. She is not a fault for Derik being such a scumbag.’
