ZOLTAN RESIDENCE
“Welcome Dad, how was your trip?” Chester greeted Zoltan as he entered the house
After a long flight, Zoltan was very tired and exhausted. His eyes were dull but immediately he saw Chester, a slow smile worked it’s way across his face and into his eyes
“It was fine but I missed my kids, how are you doing, where is your sister?” Zoltan looked at Chester inquiringly
“I’m fine Dad, we missed you too. You used two weeks instead of a week,” Chester spoke calmly
“Change of plans son, where is Ruby?” Zoltan asked again
“She went out,” Chester muttered
“To where?”
Chester glanced at his watch nervously, rubbing the back of his neck, as he was feeling uncomfortable under Zoltan’s steady gaze
“Hmm, her friend’s house, she will be staying there for a couple of weeks,” Chester muttered in a very low voice, observing Zoltan’s reaction
“Friend? When did she realise that she needed new friends, aren’t you enough for her, what is she doing there when my house is big enough to accommodate all of us?” Zoltan questioned
Chester tried to compose his thought and expression, hopefully his voice sounded more convinced to his father after sharing the news with him.
“Dad, there is something you need to know. Ruby has feelings for me and it’s not proper. I think it’s because you didn’t allow her to mingle with friends that’s why she’s emotionally attached to me since I’m the only one that gives her attention,”
Zoltan mumbled something to himself and fell silent as his attention drifted away briefly in thought. Then without another word, he turned and walked away.
Chester quickly followed him since he didn’t hear what he said before leaving
“Dad, is there any problem?” Chester asked as they entered into Zoltan’s room
“No problem you can leave,” Zoltan answered
“If you say so Dad,” Chester shrugged and looked towards the direction of the wardrobe, suddenly an idea popped into his head
“Dad, can I see the clothes in your wardrobe maybe I can see the one I like, there’s nothing bad in sharing clothes with my Dad right?” Chester tried not to sound too suspicious
“And when did that start? If you need to change your wardrobe let me know so that I can transfer enough money to your bank account,” Zoltan’s voice sounded so serious and his brows were drawn together in a frown
Zoltan met Chester’s look, his stomach tense as he steeled himself against the response to his next question
For a moment Chester gaze ran over his father’s face, and then it found his eyes, probing his mind without revealing a single thought of his.
“I just feel like sharing clothes with my father since we wear the same size,” Chester added
“I’m tired son, I had a long flight, please allow your old man to rest,” Zoltan said as he removed his shoes and suit jacket. He dusted off the bed and lay down, then he closed his eyes to relax
“I’m waiting May….” Zoltan swiftly opened his eyes and looked at Chester who is also staring at him
“You want to say something Dad, finish the statement”
“I said I’m waiting, maybe you can excuse me,” Zoltan stated
He sighed heavily, raking his hand through his hair as he glanced over at Chester
“Okay Dad,” Chester excuse himself and walked out of his room.
