22 A DAY WITH LITTLE NYO (1/2)

As soon as Alex left, Zunnie washed the dishes and continued watching television. She was relieved seeing he hadn't caused her trouble. Her lie about having to be up early really did work.

”Way to go Zunnie Boo.” She patted herself on the back and walked up the stairs to her bedroom. It was one in the morning when she finally laid in bed to sleep.

The next morning when Zunnie woke up, she seemed to be in a good mood. She had slept really well during the night and felt rejuvenated.

Today she had taken the day off work to visit Sanua's mom. She was also spending time with Nyo who she barely saw when her office was busy. So, when her aunt asked her to attend Nyo's school for a meeting instead of her, Zunnie happily agreed. She looked forward to it. She considered Nyo's future a very important task to undertake and wanted to support him in everything he did.

Given that the meeting was at one in the afternoon, Zunnie made breakfast and took it up to the home office. She needed to devise a treatment plan for one of her patients whose painful divorce seemed to be giving her a difficult time. She grabbed a file with the client's information and searched the small library in the office for ways which would be most effective.

After two hours Zunnie came up with a treatment plan that appeared to be effective. Even though the patient would have to see her for three months, this plan was guaranteed to work. She finalized it then moved to the next patient and finished by eleven thirty.

At noon Zunnie drove to Nyo's school. As soon as she arrived she spotted him by the gate waiting on her.

”Zunnie sis, you're late.” Even though Nyo was excited to see Zunnie he tried to play it off like he was mad.

”No hug or kisses? Do you want to starve today?” She scolded him and squeezed him tightly.

”Urgh, people are watching Zunnie sis...stop.” Nyo whined trying to push out of Zunnie's hug.

”You're so cute, I don't want to stop.” Zunnie patted Nyo's head and let go. Her little Nyo was not so little anymore. He was even refusing her publicly.

”Are we going to eat after this?”

”Why, are you hungry? All you want do is eat with me.”

”Zunnie sis, I just want to go to this place I saw on TV. The food looked really delicious.”

”Well, if your teacher says you've been good, we can go.”
