163 I WANT THAT, THAT, AND THAT! (1/2)
The two boys were stunned by what Ethan had announced. Don-Don was staring at Eva for an answer, but he did not get any.
Don-Don decided to ask Ethan instead. ”Are we moving in with you? Why? Is it because of what happened to us just now?”
Ethan smush Don-Don hair first before replying to his question. ”Yes! It's due to what had happened to both of you; It's not safe to go back to your home for now. Since my house is the safest place, I'm inviting you all to stay with me until such time.”
”We are really! Hahaha! It's great; I'm going to be living in a beautiful house.” Bentong jumps on Ethan's lap and hugs him very tight.
”Bentong! Get off him!” Eva ordered, looking embarrassed for the way Bentong reacted.
”It's fine; there's no harm done. I don't mind at all.” Ethan holds on to Bentong who's still hugging him tightly.
”It's alright! You don't need to get off. If you want to sit on my lap, It's fine with me too. Alright” He assured Bentong with care.
When Don-Don finally got his senses back from what he had heard. He also got up and went over to Ethan and stand in front of him with an extended hand. ”Sir, thank you! Rest assured that we would not be a burden to you. We will do our share, and pay for however long we stay.”
”All right! It's a deal; you will pay me for staying at my home.” Ethan chuckles after agreeing to Don-Don's term.
Eva was watching her two siblings getting close to Ethan. She's afraid when the time comes for them to leave that they wouldn't want to do so.
'Let's live day by day, whatever happens, happens. 'sigh!'' She was in deep thought not realizing that Ethan had been watching her all this time as well.
”So! what do you all want to eat, I know you both didn't eat the lousy food this hospital provides to their patients do you?” Ethan lifted Bentong from his lap and seated him to the sofa before getting up.
”How about I get us some chicken joy and spaghetti? And for dessert, some ice cream, and cake?” Ethan wanted to see how delighted the boy would be from his offer.
Ethan didn't make a mistake, Bentong was thrilled that he started tumbling around the room. Don-Don and Eva were watching from the sideline how elated Bentong from hearing that they will have chicken joy and spaghetti.
Being orphaned and destitute for as long as they could remember, they were only able to eat at that place once in their lifetime. Since then, they would always stop at the front of that fast food chain whenever they passed by and looks at the people eating that delicious food that they cannot afford.
Ethan got up and prepares to leave, Eva got up as well waiting for him to ask her to accompany him. She was disappointed when Ethan didn't say a word and went without even looking at her direction.
