"X"=Loid Orcus (protagonist)

"(X)"=Loid Orcus (strong inner thought)

+X+=Mother Maria(elderly nun)

_________________________________________

"Good morning Mother Maria"

+Good morning Child Loid+

As we exchange greetings we stare at each other

Mother Maria has the same expression as before when I'm a child

She has the same white and dark garment of the nun as when I'm still a child when she first appears to me, dark chocolate skin, curly but shiny dark long hair, and bright unusual blue eyes like my mother.

although she has aged a little, I believe that age brings more good and makes her more respected.

Well only if there are others than me and the children and people who close with.

+fu, fu,fu+

A small laugh has heard come from the nun's mouth and says the next word

+ O boy, that's enough for formalities, how is my baby going for today+

"Mother Maria even back to the day I came here and being taken care of you I am always amazed how you can change and swing your voice based on your mood."

+ O my little sweetheart, my darling it's nothing, and stop the way you call me like that, as I said before when there are no others to worry about just call 'Grandma' and perhaps you can also call me again 'Memaw' too."

"Calling benefactor Memaw in my age is a little bit a..."

+My sweety pie, no matter how old you are, you are still my lovely sweet adorable baby prince+

"Benefactor!"

+ no, no, no, no that is? (tone of looking forward)+

"....Grandma could stop calling me like that, it is embarrassing"

+ Where to be embarrassed about?, we are the only ones in the room, and besides when you are still a child, I call you with more sweet names like-+

"Even so!, It is still embarrassing, Grandma could you stop calling me like that even when we are only two, Please!"

+ Hmm...let me think...sorry honey but it is a no, because for your Memaw, it is one of the things that bring me happiness+

".....What the others"

+Taking care of you, loving you, bonding with you, and loving all of your family and...+

"And?"

+And many others, and one more thing"

"That thing is?"

+ Teasing you, My dear❤️💕+

As expected

"ha(surrender sigh🙌)

I want to pout like my little sister Mary but I know very well that only fate laid upon me on that path will be teased to embarrassment by Grandma.

So with all of my thinking abilities and experience, I can muster to gather, I came up with an excellent and brilliant plan.

The name of the plan will be 'change the topic and divert her attention to it so I could get away with the teasing she prepare' plan

What an excellent and brilliant plan it is!

Isn't it?

Yosh, here we go!

"I just remembered, Uncle Tony says he will come to fetch the children a drive to the school today."

+ That your 126th 'change the topic and divert my attention to it so you could get away with the teasing I prepare' plan and your right your uncle would supposedly come today but he call this morning and say there is an emergency meeting he has to attend to in your father company and he felt sorry but he could not be able to come today to fetch the children a drive+

Errgghh!!, I have been found out, Again!

"is that so then, when Uncle Tony calls again tell him it's all right just return the favor next time."

+I send him your words+

"Then who going to drive the children to the school? It is me then? I don't mind"

Grandma shakes her head to show disagreement and says

+No, I ask your Two Big Sisters, Helia and Rena, to drive the Bus owned by the orphanage and drive the children to the school.+

"I thought both buses is under maintenance this month"

+ I call a couple of mechanics yesterday to fasten the maintenance and they say they could finish it this morning+

"Then they should be able to finish about this time then?"

"Yes and here, go to the garage and give this envelope to the mechanics who finish their job to pay the fee"

Grandma gives the envelope and when I'm about to leave.

+ Wait+

I turn back and ask.

"What the matter?Grandma"

+ You forget my kiss+

"(Grandma,haaaaaaaaa.....)"

I walk near her and put my head closer to her head and kiss her on the cheeks like what she asks for, as I am about to raise my head.

+Wait you forget my hug+

As she spread her arms

"(Grandma,haaaaaaaaa.....)"

I spread my arms and hug her

+ Tightly, My dear+

"What a needy Grandma"

"That what am I"

As I hug her tightly and she also did so to me.

+I love you, my dear+

She whispers into my ears.

"Love you too, Grandma"

As I whisper back to Grandma.

As I release her and turn back she called me once again.

+My dear+

"What is it, Grandma"

+ You forget the keys+

"Right the keys"

As I pick it up in her hands, to my surprise, there are three keys that supposedly only two for two buses

"Grandma"

+ What is it my dear+

"Why is there an extra key mix-up in here"

"About that, it is already a month since you have been graduated from your college and received your diploma, and earn your degree for that there a gift waiting for you in the garage."

What?.....!!! Don't tell me

"Don't tell me is it!!!?"

+ That is for you to find out+

I run hurriedly and hug her tightly and give her fast consecutive kisses on both cheeks with an additional in the forehead.

"mwah! mwah! mwah!!! (sound of kisses) I love you Memaw!!!"

As I finish my offering of extreme love and gratitude, I'm about to excitedly run off to the door as I heard another call.

+ My dear+

"What is it, Memaw!!!"

As I turn back with a wide grin sticking on my face

+ I just want to call you my dear+

"Then if that it, Goodbye Memaw"

As. I turn back and heard Memaw mutter

+ Goodbye and Be careful, My Dear Loid+

As she mutters my name with Great Love and Sorrow as if we will not be able to meet again for some time.

After that, the closing of the door is the last thing I hear at that time.
