CHAPTER 8: PLAYTIME
Sarah's Pov:
Its been some days since I started working here in the mansion taking care of Neil. Neil is such a good kid and behaves very well and sort of starting to open up to him and we talk more then before.
He is easy to talk to then his father who always put a cold demeanor. I shrugged.
"Mama. I am bored of sitting in my nursery room playing with these toys. Lets play outside in the garden. We have so many beautiful flowers growing there let me show you around too." Neil 's voice suddenly brings me back to the reality from my train of thoughts. I nodded and smiled at him.
Than he grabbed me and hand in hand we walk outside of the mansion to the beautiful garden. It is certainly a pleasant day. The breeze touches my face and it felt so good in the green scenery.
Just then Neil let go of my hand and goes to near the long stretching rows of pink roses and plucked out one and hands me the flower.
"Mama,... this is for you". He said with a wide smile on his face.
Though the fact that even after Zarek told him not to call me his mama but he stills do. Not that I mind it. Its just so cute when he says with a big smile. I don't want him to be sad so I does not restrict him to stop addressing me by this name.
"That's really nice of you Neil." I returned the smile and smelled the stunning flower in my hand. It felt really refreshing.
Then for a while he showed me the long stretched garden full of different kind of flowers. And then he came up with a game to play with me.
"I will put a cloth on your eyes and you have to find me."
"Okay but do not let me fall." We both laughed at this and started playing the game while he wrapped the cloth around my eyes and I started finding him helplessly. The butler is here too making sure his young master is okay and if he needs something.
"Over here, mama". He pointed out to me and I followed his voice trying to catch him.
Some minutes have passed and I still can not find him. I am starting to have fun playing this game and I am sure he is having fun in watching me helplessly find him.
Then I felt a presence near me and I catch that person a little firmly knowing that I catch Neil.
"GOT YOU!". I smiled sheepishly to my victory.
But I realized the arm I am holding is way too big to be true that it belongs to Neil. I lowered the cloth around my eyes and I was stunned and stupefied by the person I am seeing in front of me.
It is Zarek's arm that I am clinging onto!. I left the arm abruptly and stepped backwards. Behind me I can hear Neil laughing loudly.
"I ... I am sorry. I did not know it was you"
"It's okay". He said while straightening his black coat that he is wearing.
"Seems like you were playing some game." He added while Neil approaches him and hugged him tightly.
"Yeah. We were just started." I said to him while maintaining a smile on my face.
"Mama, You lost". Neil said. Seems like he is too happy to win this game.
"Yes you win Neil. You played really well." I added joy to his victory which made him more happy.
Its not bad to loss to a kid. Does it? Of course not. Earning such an honest smile from such a cute kid does not hurt to loss anytime.
"Lets go inside. Its getting chilly outside." Zarek said and holding Neil in his arms we all get inside the mansion.
"Mama I am hungry." Neil said with pleading eyes.
"Okay. Do Neil wants nuggets?"
"Yes!" He said cheerfully.
Then I focused my gaze towards Zarek. "Would you also like something to eat?"
"Hm. Bring me just my coffee". He said to me and then sitting on the sofa in the living room He asked the butler to bring him some files.
Its not like my thing to prey on someone else matters or work. But he can at least give himself a rest after he just get home from the work. I know he owns a big company and there is a lot of work to do. But he should at least get some time off from work when he is finally home.
I prepared the nuggets and the coffee and bring it to the living room. Neil is watching cartoons on TV and Zarek is on the couch behind the table which is loaded with big piles of files now.
"I brought you your coffee and Neil here is your nuggets" I hold the coffee in one hand and the plates of nuggets in the other. Neil sat on the couch and I handed him the plate and he begins to eat still watching TV.
"Put it down" He said a bit annoyingly. I mean where am I suppose to put the coffee? His files are all over the table.
A bit angry by his words I said "There is no place for me to put it down. Your files are all over the table."
startled by my words or I guess the tone he looked up at me moving his gaze from the file then clearing some place on the table for me to place down the coffee mug and I did so.
Then some time passed. I am watching cartoons with Neil and I looked up to see Zarek still has not touched his coffee and is continuously working from then on.
"Are you not going to drink that coffee?" I added.
His eyes still on files and moving his pen circling the statements on it and he said,"Hm. Just in a minute."
"Health makes Wealth." Then he looked up to see me and i continued. "If you would not rest and you are not healthy how are you suppose to work then? From the moment you have arrived home you keep working. You should rest a bit too." I don't know from where I am getting the courage to speak to him so frankly but I just can not see him like this. It makes me myself uncomfortable.
He is now staring at me and amazed by my words he putted the files away and started drinking his coffee.
"Its nice" He said to me while taking another sip.
I feel relaxed somehow, That he took my advice and putted those files aside for now and enjoy his coffee.
"It may be cold now. Let me heat it up again."
"No its alright. I do not mind" And we sat there silently the rest of the time and watched Tom and Jerry with Neil.
