Chapter 50 The Pervert Guy~I (1/2)

~The Mansion~ 9:00 PM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nana Aida and Adam were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching a random television show.

Nana Aida smiled at Adam, it's the first time Adam watched a TV show with her, when Jessy was still around, the two were inseparable.

”Have you packed everything?” she asked.

”Yes,” answered Adam.

”What time you will leave?”

”Tonight midnight, Nana.”

”Where are you staying in the city?”

Adam fell silent. He has no idea where to stay. The city is vast, maybe there is something or someplace where he could fit in or stay for a while before he can fully sort out his future moves.

”I have no idea where am staying, Nana.”

”You have no money?”

”I have little savings, some money you have given me.”

The older woman frowned.

”Adam, your savings is not enough to stay in the city comfortably,” she said.

Nana Aida rose to her feet and went into her room. When she's back in the living room, she carries a pouch with her. She drops the pouch on Adam's hands.

”Take that with you. You will need it more than I do.”

”Nana, what's this?” Adam took a peek inside the pouch, small golden stones shimmered inside the darkness of the pouch, it's precious gold.

”Your mother gave it to me as a present, you can have it. Keep it and spend it any way you like,” she said.

Adam shook his head and returned the pouch of gold to Nana Aida.

”I can't take it, Nana. It's yours,” said Adam.

”But you don't have much money with you, how will you survive in the city? If you live in the city and you have no money you won't survive,” Nana said.

”Nana, you forgot that I still have my power with me. I will survive somehow,” he is adamant.

The older woman sighed. ”Are you going to use your power to steal money to buy foods?”

Adam shook his head. ”Nana, am not gonna do that. Am not a thief.”

Nana Aida sighed again. ”Why are you so stubborn?”

Adam grinned at the older woman he considers as his second mother.

”Am not, just that it's not right that I will accept that present from you. It's yours, to begin with. Please keep it and enjoy it, Nana. You deserve it.”

”How about this, if at some point in time in the future you need money, come back here and you can have this golden pouch anytime, okay?”

”Yes. I will do that, Nana,” said Adam just to pacify the older woman.

Nana Aida finally stopped pestering Adam about bringing the pouch of gold with him.

They watched some more boring shows together.

By 10:00 o'clock, Nana Aida was already feeling drowsy. She yawned.

”Adam, am gonna sleep. You can continue watching the TV and locked the door before you go to sleep, okay?”

Adam nodded.

Nana Aida looked at Adam one last time with sorrow in her eyes.

”By the time you leave the mansion am already in deep sleep. Am not gonna be able to say goodbye to you. You have to take care of yourself in the city, okay? If you experience difficulties in there, you can always go back here,” Nana Aida said misty-eyed.

Adam nodded. He already felt an immeasurable sadness piercing through his heart. It's gonna be hard leaving this mansion he calls home for many years. But tonight is the time to leave, to start a new life, in a new environment and meet new people and live the life he envisioned for himself.

Nana Aida was about to rise when the door of the mansion suddenly opened...bringing a burst of cold wind into the living room.

”Nana Aida, am back!” the cheery voice of Jessy broke into their reverie. She came running into the living room with a full radiant smile plastered on her face. Her beautiful smile touches Adam's heart~so intense it took his breath away.

...

Nana Aida froze...

Adam froze...

Adam's heart skips a beat. No...his heart do a somersault!

F*uck! Adam swore to himself. He's not expecting this! Just hearing her voice again, seeing her angelic smile and beautiful face. His heart melted right away. He fights the urge not to turn into a puddle on the floor.

Jessy looked at him...

Adam looked at Jessy...

They exchange a brief glance at each other, then he drops his gaze quickly.

Jessy eyebrows rose upon seeing a complete stranger accompanying Nana Aida in the living room watching TV in the middle of the night. Weird! she told herself.

”Jessy, my child! Am glad you're back! Am so happy to see you!” After the shocked, Nana Aida was able to regain back her composure. She immediately pushed the pouch into the pocket of her skirt.

Jessy hugged the older woman tightly.
