EPISODE 7 A VERY WRONG MOVE

ELEVEN in the evening.

I was surprised when Mama Cha and I arrived at the same time. She was exactly out of the car, and I was in Trina's car. The two of them just waved because Trina didn't last long and left immediately.

When I approached her, I could smell the wine.

"Where have you been, Ma?" I asked in a low voice.

"Ah! At Maggie's! " She replied quickly while getting her stuff and not even giving me a glance.

"I can smell you! You're drunk! I told you not to drink and drive, Ma! You should just have let me go with you. You didn't say that you were going somewhere; I must have joined you instead! " I said.

She did not answer. She locked the car door and walked to our red gate first, followed by me.

"Where did you drink?" I asked as I ran ahead of her to open the gate.

"Maggie and I just met at the bar!" She replied.

She entered, and I followed. She just walked straight ahead without looking at me.

Entering inside, she went straight up. She didn't even look at me, nor did she ask if I had eaten. It looks like she doesn't care about me right now!

Lately, I've noticed something about Mama Cha. I think that guy, Jet, is already her boyfriend now. The one who she often talks to on the phone. Dang! That irritates me!

I sighed at the thought. I feel like we've been experiencing a barrier for one week! Nah! Maybe I'm just feeling it.

It's like---it's like something is changing! Am I just thinking or is there?

"Haah.."

I went upstairs.

Mama Cha's room will be the first to go through. The door of our room is just opposite, but mine is on the right, and hers is on the left.

Honestly, I stopped for a moment at her door. I even pressed my ear to hear what she was doing.

I heard the sound of water flowing from the shower; she was bathing for sure...

A moment later, I found myself floating again, bubble speech comin' out of my head! I grabbed the doorknob, turned it, and it was open.

When the door opened, I immediately smelled the candy soap that she often used; the sweetness of the smell was delicious. So tempting! I opened the door slightly and looked inside the room. I can hear she is still in the shower.

Eventually, the sound of the water suddenly stopped. I closed the door slowly and walked away from there. She might even see me and get angry for sure. She was drunk and didn't seem to be in the mood. I'm a bit drunk too, so naughty things are running through my mind! I went to my room. I'm going to take a shower so that I can release this heat!

CHARI'S POV

He came home late too.

It's good that Maggie invited me. If not, I'll be here alone again while he's there drinking and having fun with Trina. He's been doing that for almost a week. He's been drinking for a week, which he shouldn't be doing because it's bad for him.

I think Clint is really into Trina. But she's not a good influence on him. Yeah, there's the point! She's paying well, but it looks like Trina's group is not really into serious dancing but just flirting with them.

Here I am again. Why do I seem disgusted with him? I shouldn’t be thinking of such things. I should be happy because he is interested in Trina. After all, Clint is very sensitive when it comes to women. And besides, I was the one who forced him to teach Trina's group. He intended to pass it on to Nick because he didn't want to, but I still insisted. It's my fault anyway.

I finished taking a bath. When I looked at the clock, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. I'm not sleepy yet. I've lost my temper, so I'll go down first to get a beer. I'm sure Clint is asleep because he looks like he drank a lot. I can tell by his eyes and how bloated he appears.

I adjusted my dress first. the yellow bathrobe that I often wear when I'm done bathing. I only have undies on because I know that my boobies aren't that big. It's okay not to wear a bra, it's not obvious anyway.

Moreover, I knew no one would see me. Clint was asleep for sure.

How many times has he seen me like this? He often wears only boxer shorts at night. It's nothing to us.

I'll go down. I know I still have four beers in the fridge. I'm not sleepy yet, so I can drink a couple more.

I JUST finished packing what I'm going to bring tomorrow. Ben and I still have a night flight, so I can still buy everything I need.

I'm also a bit drunk today. I forgot a little that I'm leaving tomorrow, so did Mama Cha. She also didn't remember that I was leaving tomorrow. She didn't take care of the things I was going to bring. It's not like that. She's not been like that before. It's like I want to think she's changing.

It's late, but I still can't sleep. I already ran out of Mama Cha's beer in the fridge. I don't even have anything left in my hand. After going out first, it looked like Mama Cha was asleep. I would have liked to knock on her earlier to talk to her, but she's not in the mood. I'm sure she won't talk to me either.

I left the room.

Get down and go straight to the kitchen.

But when I get there...

"Oh! You're still awake? " To my surprise, I saw Mama Cha.

She's carrying a bottle of beer. We both still looked at the beer bottles we were carrying.

"Are you still drinking?" I asked again.

"You didn't leave any? Aren't you tired of alcohol? " She said calmly to me.

She would have passed me by when I stopped her. I grabbed her immediately by the left arm.

"Wait a minute! Let go of that bottle! " I told her as I grabbed the bottle of beer she was carrying.

She didn't move, so I got the bottle right away, but I still didn't let go of her left arm. After that, I said seriously, "Let's talk, Ma."

"Why? Do we have a problem? " She replied sarcastically. She even raised her left eyebrow at me.

I still haven’t let go of her left arm.

"Ma, I'm leaving tomorrow. We can't be like this. " I said in a pleading voice.

"Leaving? Where are you going? Then---what's this? We're okay, ah! We're both drunk! "

"Huh? You forgot? "

Her forehead furrowed. She seemed to be worried about something.

"Aah.. Shucks! Your flight is tomorrow. I thought it was next week! " Suddenly, she said, "Oh! You must be asleep!" she said at the same time, holding back my arm.

"Wait a minute!" I grabbed her again.

"Are you mad at me? You haven't talked to me since this afternoon after we talked in your office, and you keep on avoiding me. " I said.

She did not answer. She just looked at me with an eyebrow raised. I felt as if I understood what she meant. I let go of her arm. She stared at me first before turning around and going straight up. I just watched her slowly step until she reached the top.

And when she was upstairs, close to her room, I ran upstairs and chased her. And before she could open the door,

"Clint!"

I grabbed her from behind and then carried her to my room.

"Clint, you fool! What are you doing? " She yelled while hitting my arms. I entered the room and immediately threw her on the bed. I even saw her bathrobe slip when she fell. Then I went back to the door and locked it.

I took off the t-shirt I was wearing, and only my gray boxer shorts were left. I grabbed her two legs and pulled her closer to the end of the bed. She's thin, so I can handle her easily. After I pulled her, I looked at her carefully at first. She didn't move either and just kept looking at me too. She's so pretty. I was stunned when I saw her lying on my bed. I couldn't believe my eyes that she was with me in my room at that very moment.

But I don’t know if I will continue with what I plan. We're both drunk, which added even more to my horny feelings.

Then later, she kicked my thighs. She kicked me slightly away in front of her.

She got up from the bed, adjusted the yellow bathrobe she was wearing, and was about to leave. But... No!

I won’t let this night pass by without her knowing how I feel about her!

I thought she was going to come out, but she just stood at the door first and held on to the knob.

"If you know that what you want to do to me is right, do it! But I will not allow you to do this while drunk. Where are the feelings there? There are no feelings there… " She said to me,

I was surprised by what she said.

"We know Clint this is wrong, really wrong." She said again.

"Is it wrong to love you more than you think?" I said with a trembling voice.

She was silent for a while. Then…

"Maybe..." She said softly, followed by a shrug.

I approached her, held her face and gave her a serious stare.

"I love you Ma, I love you so much. I-I love you... Ma.. " I said, stammering, while still looking at her.

She didn't answer. She doesn’t look at me either.

I don't know, but I feel like something is blocking my throat so that I can't speak out and my eyes feel dizzy. I feel that tonight will be over and I will be able to answer what I have long hidden and wanted to ask her.

"Do you love me, Ma? Can you love me without considering me a child or a brother? Can you please try to love me like that? Just try—please, Ma? " I asked with teary eyes.

She didn't answer. She turned her back on me, turned the doorknob, and walked out the door.

"Ugh!"

I sighed as she left. I suddenly fell to the floor and covered my face with both hands.

And then,

"You're so dumb, Clint! You fool! You fool! Uhump!"

Along with those words of mine was the shedding

of tears.
