19 tangle with brother

Xena

"What was that young lady? "What did your friend just tell you?"

"Dad, he's not my friend. How many times have I told you?"

"He will carry you through the clinic. At least be thankful; I haven't raised you to be rude, Xena."

"Dad, it just happened that he was the one who saw me as I was about to fall down the stairs. I collapsed due to fear."

When I stop, I almost tell him what truly happened. God! What in heaven did the man do here? Did he stalk me to the highest level?

I don't want to add burdens to my dad's already hard life. He would panic if he knew what truly happened. I know that whatever happens, he always believes in me. I know even how hard it is to believe when it comes to me. My dad would surely believe it.

"What happened, Xena? Are you hurt or something? "Did the man hurt you?"

My eyes widened. Yes, Zimon and I fight, yet it hasn't reached the point where he hurts me too much.

I shook my head.

"Dad, no, Zimon, and I just had a few misunderstandings due to his bratty attitude. You know I hate jerks."

I was rolling my eyes.

"He seems like a good man to me. Just a bit of a teaser, maybe."

"Have you eaten already?"

Dad sigh,

"Not yet; it's too early. "I want to eat with you, pumpkin."

I sigh.

"So how did you know that young man?"

"He's my classmate's dad. And he's too annoying. "

Her dad nodded

"I thought one of your friends, Noah or Liam, would be your first boyfriend. I guess they are not."

"dad! I don't think about that now. Besides, I have a crush already."

I close my mouth, but it's too late; I've already spilled it out.

My dad laughs...

"really? "Who's that lucky man?"

"Dad, just crush, ok?" Nothing serious."

"Can you introduce him to me?"

"Dad, I don't want to be obvious."

"I just want to see what kind of person my princess likes in a man."

My cheeks heated. I know I'm blushing now.

"Dad, I said nothing serious. I promise that if this feeling won't go away, I'll introduce him to you. But now it's too early for that. Let's just eat first. I'm going to get our meal."

I walk out of my dad's room faster. I headed to the canteen to order something to eat. When I hear a beautiful voice singing toward the children's ward.

Without a second thought, I walk toward the ward like a wise woman toward a diamond in the shop. Besides, I still have two hours before dad's dinner schedule. Why not waste it for a while?

I peeked through the small glass beside the main door. Peering on who could be the voice owner.

In the middle of lots of children, she can see the man singing with his lovely voice and a group of children amazingly cheering for him. strumming his guitar seriously while staring in the air.

Seth? Is he here for his brother? Is he together with his brother?

Gosh, he has a wonderful voice.

I held my chest, because I couldn't stop it from breathing so fast. Am I having a crush on him, or have I already fallen for him that fast?

God, he is indeed gorgeous. In broad daylight, his eyes seem to be smiling, though he is just simply glancing in the air.

His glance flew over me. My cheeks hit up when he smiled at me.

I was stunned, though I wanted to run out of nervousness. Yet he waved his hand at me, saying, "Come here.

I swallow hard. I wanted to run, yet I couldn't move. Why did he want me to come near him? We're not even close.

I shook my head, but the door opened, and a kid held my hand and encouraged me to walk in.

"Hi, are you here for your dad?" Seth asked and I nodded.

"Yes, I've been staying here all night to be with him. How about you? Are you here for your brother?"

I ask in a bit of mockery. Not because I mock him, but because I think Zimon does not deserve to have a brother like Seth.

"sort of, I followed him when he headed to the hospital, then after I confirmed that he followed our dad's order to let him get the result of his test to make sure he was okay." I headed here. Our family had an orphanage for cancer patients, and I often visited them."

I smiled while thinking that Iadmired a person with a big heart. Maybe my heart feels that. So it's easy to fall for him faster.

"Could you sing?" Seth ask,

"Not really," I replied.

"Let's sing together."

My eyes widened. I shook my head in panic.

"No, I couldn't sing well; they might run away." I said this regarding this little angel surrounding Seth.

"You don't have to be too good. We're not in concert, just sing with me." Seth said, then started to strum his guitar.

Though I am panicking, I don't have a choice but to sing with him along with some random song. After a few songs, I found myself enjoying it. Not because I am singing with him, but because...

The children seemed to love it since they were dancing and singing with us too.

I smile. Children can easily have happiness in a simple way.

After our mini concert, Seth walked with me to the canteen.

"Are you sure you don't want to buy food outside? It's my treat. Maybe consider it a talent payment."

We both laughed, but in the end I said,

"Maybe I could have that payment some other time since I'm in a hurry. My dad might be hungry by now."

Seth nodded but still came along with me and even sent me to my dad's room.

"Thank you for a wonderful time." Seth, thankyou for helping."

When Dad came out, I was about to open the door.

"Xena, where have you been? I thought that you had been kidnapped or something."

"Dad, you're overreacting."

"I'm sorry, sir, I dragged Xena to have a mini concert with the children."

My dad took a glimpse at Seth.

"And who is this other boy, Xena? "Just a few hours ago I met Zimon; now another man again?"

"Dad!" Xena almost shouted sheepishly.

"Sorry, Seth, dad was just worried."

"It's ok, Xena, but will Zimon come to you?"

I shook my head. "It's just an accident. "On maybe Zimon's way back home, he just passed by my dad reaching for his water."

Seth nodded.

"Are you my daughter's friend too?" my dad asks.

"Dad Seth is Zimon's brother."

"Nice to meet you, sir." Seth replied while I was staring at Seth.

"Xena, is he the guy that you've been having?"

My eyes widen and cover Dad's mouth.

"dad! Seth was about to stop talking nonsense. Bye Seth..."

Though I am anxious, I still manage to say good-bye to Seth. He seems curious, but he smiles and waves his hand.

I glared at Dad, then we slipped inside his room. His walking was slower, so I helped him.

"My princess's love life seems to tangle with brothers," he laughs, then sits on his bed edge.

"You have Noah and Liam. Now Zimon and Seth."

"dad! It's not what you think it is; let's eat."
