Chapter 6: CHAPTER SIX
I choked on my spit while sleeping.
I thought I was dying.
Then I realized I wasn't in my room. I woke up on a king-sized bed. Warm fuzzy and soft.
On my body, were blue silk sleeping garments.
So comfortable.
The wish worked but I had to confirm. Yeah, time.
I woke up around 7:30 am yesterday so it should be around 7:33 am today. Sukani already informed me about the 3 minutes rule.
Unfortunately, a clock was out of sight in that beautiful gigantic room.
I groaned after all my efforts to find a clock proved futile.
"What time is it?" I yelled out of anger.
"It's 7:34 am, young sir." An unfamiliar female robot-like voice said. Out of nowhere.
Jesus!
My heart literally skipped a beat.
I immediately asked who it was.
"I'm An your personal artificial intelligence bot."
I could feel myself melting down out of joy.
Yeah, why be filthy rich and not have a personal AI bot?
"An! What do you do?"
"I control everything in this house, young sir."
This could be the best thing I've ever done.
The room was quite large. Bigger than our tiny house if I may say.
It was decorated with my three best colors also what I call the colors for the rich. White, peach, and beige. There was a giant desk, a little library, and a 3D zombie dash video game.
I always wanted one.
I was busy admiring the glorious room when another unfamiliar voice called out.
"Good morning young sir!"
A fine-looking English man appeared before me. He was definitely a butler, well at least he looked like one.
MIND-BLOWING
Was he my own private butler? But how would I address him.
From my experience of watching movies, all butler's names were always steward, Charles, or Williams.
I had to pick one soon.
Running out of time.
"Sir?" He added. I decided to try my luck.
"Yes, Williams?..." I closed my eyes.
"Breakfast is ready. Should I bring it here or are you coming downstairs?"
Thank God. I was lucky. He was a Williams.
Hmm... downstairs how fancy. "I'll come downstairs."
"Follow me, sir."
I followed quietly.
We had a beautiful double golden staircase.
I was mesmerized.
The most beautiful I've ever seen. The right one led to the dining area and the left one led to... well, I don't even know. But who fucking cares.
The dining table is made out of beautiful gold ceramic. It had 12 chairs. Got me wondering why we needed such when we were just three. Yeah, who the heck cares?
Let me not get started on the dishes served. Pudding, bread, a whole pig fucking GRILLED!, chicken, steak, ice cream. Wait...ice cream for breakfast?!, Chocolates, fruits, vegetable salads of all kinds, fries, burgers, you name it.
"Hmm..." I hummed. " Is today Thanksgiving?"
He laughed. "Quite funny young sir."
Well don't blame me, I had to ask. I've never seen so much food even in movies.
He pulled a chair for me to sit on. Take a sit, sir."
"Mhmm...favor, don't call me sir, please? Just call me Chester or chess or whatever. The sir is giving me bad vibes."
"Sure."
I was about to start munching but I stopped myself.
"Say, quick question. Where's my mother?" I asked.
Why the heck did I just say, Mother? Gross. Why would I call my mom mother?? I had begun speaking like those snorty English kids but I couldn't stop myself.
He told me she was in her office.
"Uhm... sorry, another quick question. Where is her office?" I asked awkwardly.
"Uh...are you okay sir."
"Chester!"
"Ch... Chester are you okay?"
If I was in his place, honestly I would think I was nuts.
"Upstairs, first room on your left."
"Thanks..."
I was hungry but I couldn't eat much. I felt so lonely all alone at the dining table.
"Should I call your doctor Chester?"
"No I'm fine it's okay." I'm going to my mother's.
Okay, I need to stop saying, Mother.
"I'll get your bath ready!"
I rushed up the stairs in a hurry to see my mom.
She held some documents.
She wore a lilac maxi dress. It looked beautiful on her. Did justice to her body. My mom looks good in everything.
But her face. Jeez! So much makeup. I didn't like it.
She looked like a Barbie doll.
"Hello, Mother."
Why on earth do I sound like this? It was as if I had no control over my own mouth.
I was expecting a kiss or hug but I didn't get any.
"Yes, Chester." She went in and I followed. "What do you want? I'm busy as you can see."
Why is she talking to me like that? Is she upset with me...
I placed my sweaty palms on her desk. "You weren't at the breakfast table are you upset with me?"
She gave a nervous quick laugh.
"Oh, Chester Chester darling. When did we start having breakfast together? Come on go take a bath. I'm going to the court and you stink."
"Court?"
"Yeah. About the divorce? Did you hit your head again baby? Look I know you don't want this, but don't play dumb."
"DIVORCE? Whose divorce?? What?!" This is the most scared I've ever been. I'm always hovering between 5 and 6 but I was at level 10.
What the fuck is this woman talking about??
"I'm sorry dear." She replied impatiently. My mom had completely changed. This is not the woman that gave birth to me. No! No way!!
"I know you don't wanna hear it. But your father and I gave it a lot of thought. We are just not meant for each other. We love you and all...but this marriage can't work!...
My heart broke.
Into a million and one pieces it did.
I felt as if I was been stabbed with a knife right in the middle of my heart.
I was floating in a state of trance.
Away from the real world.
Telling myself it was all another nightmare.
But no...
It was all too real.
My parents were getting divorced.
I just wanted her to give me a chance to ask.
How? Why?? And when???
Sadly I couldn't.
My sweet mother had changed. A completely different version of her former self.
Engrossed in the business world and infatuated with materialistic things.
What have I done??
