BECAUSE Orcel's leg was still a bit sore, she didn't go out for a few days and didn't go to the children's house to teach them how to swim. That is why Rhian is the one who teaches the siblings first, and that is why she is always at Anthony's house for her this is good advance. "Orcel, how is that leg of yours?" Myra asked. "It's already okay, Myra; there's just a little pain now." "It's bad, it's just a little bit more. You had a toasted leg already." "Myra, it's already roasted, huh." "More jealousy, more roasting," Myra laughed. "Hmp! Go just laughing, but I can't do anything, you know my heart hit hard." "That's why I never like boys." "You're sure, Myra. I just wish that your heart would be touched by accident. Let's see if you can say that you dislike men. Myra, men are a part of every woman's life, remember that." "Just us? Them aren't we part of their lives too, Orcel?" "Both, of course." "Let's go outside, so you can eat. Can you walk, Orcel?" "Yes, I can, Myra." I'll go see the siblings later." "Wait, doesn't that still hurt your foot?" "I can walk now, my nerve in my foot will relax for a few days, and I'm bored, so I'll lie down." "It's up to you, but tell me, Mr. Grumpy, which one you want to see!" "Both," Orcel replied with a smile to her friend. "Anthony, aren't you going to work today?" "I guess you woke up late, huh?" "I'm going, Dad. I'm just finishing my coffee." The don frowned because his cup was empty. "Anthony, what are you thinking? Your coffee ran out a while ago; maybe you want another one, as if you were waiting for someone to come?" Anthony looked at the cup."Damn!" he said silently. "Anthony, I said are you waiting for someone?" The Don asked again. "Dad, who will I wait for?" "Who is it? You are the only one who knows," the Don smiled. "Dad, you are imagining something—that she is the one I am waiting for." Anthony is referring to Orcel. "Son, I didn't think that maybe you do," he smiled again. "Uncle, I've been missing Aunt Orcel; how is she doing? I hope she'll be well so she can come here." "Why are you still looking for her, Nicole?" Isn't your Aunt Rhian teaching you?" "I don't like her uncle!" It's a direct response. "Why don't you like her, Nicole?" "Because Uncle, he's too artistic, and she doesn't know how to teach us to swim, and she doesn't have patience with us, it's like she's forcing it, unlike Aunt Orcel, she's so good." "I don't like her either, Uncle," Nick replied. The Don shook his head, even though he didn't like Rhian's behavior. Suddenly the doorbell rang, so Anthony stood up as if he was excited to see who came. "Yes, maybe that's Aunt Orcel," said the two children. "Oh, don't be too excited, grandchildren; even if you are Anthony, it might not be her." "Dad..." Anthony just said that because he knows what his father meant. "Oh, you're still going to lie; I can see your reaction, son. Thank you, and that sleeping heart of yours has woken up; little by little, the fire that surrounds your feelings is being removed. I'm so happy, Anthony. "It's been a long time since I've been waiting for it to happen." Anthony was speechless at what his father said. He didn't even want to admit that he was. And for several days, he did not see the woman. He felt his heart sad, as if he wanted to go to the fair to say hello to her and ask how her leg was. It was okay. But he restrained himself from doing it. If he did this, he would admit that he wanted her. "Rosie, who's coming?" asked the Don. "Sir, it's Rhian," said their maid. Because they heard who came, the children's looks suddenly became sluggish. because what they expected was not what came. Even Anthony was disappointed. "Alright, Dad, I'm going to work now." "Alright, hijo. then going home early, so we can have dinner tonight." Anthony nodded to his father. "Hello, guys!" Rhian was greeted enthusiastically. "Hello, Aunt," greeted the two children with no emotion. "Oh, why are you sad? I'm here to teach you to swim again." "Sorry, Aunt, but we're not in the mood to swim right now. Grandpa, we'll be in our room first to play games," "All right, Nicole, Nick, go now." The siblings quickly left and ran up the stairs. "Alright, Dad, I have to go. I have a meeting with my people now. I'll leave you first, Rhian." "Okay, I'll go with you after all the kids don't want to go swimming now, Anthony." Anthony frowned."Why don't you have a car?" "No, I had it fixed at the car shop because the engine is something wrong." "Okay, I'll just drop you where you're going. Dad, we're leaving." "Okay, son." They were about to exit the gate when Anthony saw Orcel standing outside the gate. When Anthony saw the woman, he seemed to want to immediately get out of his car to greet her with a hug. Yeah, this is what he feels. "Oh, Anthony, I thought you had a meeting, so you were in a hurry; let's go. Let your maid open the gate for her. Wait, what is that woman going to do here?" "She's teaching Nicole and Nick how to swim." "I did; I taught them." "They don't want you," Anthony wanted to answer. "Let's go, Anthony." "Okay," Anthony only gave Orcel a glance. Orcel felt like her heart was being sprinkled with pepper. Because she saw that Anthony was with the girl, he watched her show. She's the reason her foot was burned because of the jealousy she felt. And now she felt even more jealous of the woman because Mr. Grumpy was with her again. Because of the jealousy she felt, Orcel didn't continue ringing the doorbell. She hoped that she wouldn't come today so that she wouldn't feel jealous even more. Right before Anthony had gone very far, he saw the woman walking away from their house in the side mirror.
