Please Remember Me - Chapter 14 Chapter 13

After all that shopping, we walk together to my home. I invited her to have dinner with us. At first, she seems a little shy. But after hearing that we will have beef steak for tonight, she just agreed right away.

*****

“Here we are.”

“It looks like a normal house.”

“What kind of house do you think I love in?”

The house sounds peaceful as always as we make our step into the house. Based on the car parked outside, and the shoes in the house, looks like Gwen and mom just got home. The smell of Beef grilled make our stomach hungrier. “What a great smell.” Said Ana loudly.

Then mom heard her and look at us from kitchen. She greet Ana and told her to sit down. “Wait a little more. I want to make sure the beefs are well cooked.” Said mom. She actually never cook this kind of thing for Gwen and me. But today’s different. Maybe she knows that Ana is coming. That’s the intent of a mother. Really creepy, but assuring at the same time.

“Sure, I don’t mind at all. Take all the time you need.” Ana said that, but looking at her eyes and body, I know that is not the case.

Then Gwen get out from her room. She go straight to the kitchen after smelled the grilled beefs. When she see Ana, she point her finger to Ana and said,

“You burglar cat, don’t get near my brother. Oh, congratulations for your release by the way.”

“Oh thank you. What a kind girl you are.”

“Hey Ana…” Said Gwen. “You don’t remember anything about me?” She was trying to make sure Ana had an amnesia. But instead, it make the mood awkward. Ana nod slowly to answer her question just now.

“Alright!” Shouted mom, trying to change the mood. “Let’s not be so emotional about the past. Here, the beefs are ready!” Said her cheerfully while smiling.

Everyone just trying to forget what happen and enjoy the food. But Ana just state at the food without even touching it.

That clearly irritated mom. “Just eat your damn food!” Furiously she shouted.

Ana just started eating it like a pig after being scolded like that.

*****

“I’m stuffed.” Said Gwen after eating 3 whole plate of Beef.

“Ana… Why don’t you stay the night tonight? it’s dangerous for a girl to go out this late.” Said mom after saw the sun has set.

“Okay, my parents are away anyway. But can I ask you something?” ask Ana.

“What is it?”

“Can I stay in Adam’s room?”

Everyone gawk at her. Especially Gwen, with her big round eyes. “Are you serious? Are… Are you gonna do… That?”

Ana, with a naughty face said, “That? What do you mean by… That?”

When’s face become red and run into her room. Ana just look at her while laughing. They’re both like a child who always fought over the trivial things.

“Okay… shall we go, darling?”

I just sigh at the time and bring her to my room. My mother just froze at the time. “My son will become an adult.” She thought to herself.

*****

“It’s a normal room.”

“Again, what do you imagine my room looks like?”

“Okay…” She put all of the bag from the mall in the room. “Let’s begin your transformation.”

“What? right now?”

“Yes course. We’re gonna change everything, from hair to feet.”

Then, at the time, I remembered my mother said to me when I was 4. “Don’t ever let a woman touch your hair.”

I’m sorry mother. I could not follow your advice.
