Avira
“What’s going on?” I ask Wen as soon as she picks up the video call.
“Where?” she asks, chewing something.
“In California. Ella had two concerts back to back. Do you know about it?” I grin.
She rolls her eyes. “Yeah… I just had two concerts with a gap of twenty days, and everyone is asking me now. Can’t an artist live her life?”
“Why not? But how come this artist decided to start living her life now?” I wiggle my brows.
She had her concert two weeks after New Year, which was normal because the concert before that was fourmonths ago, but then she said yes for another concert, which was yesterday.
Before she could reply, Zoan’s room door opens and he enters.
“I think it’s time for me to leave,” she waves her hand. “Say hi to Zo and bye-bye.”
She cuts the call. I roll onto my back as he reaches me. He bends over me and kisses me, then pulls back. “You didn’t eat dinner.”
I shake my head. “I’ll eat with you.”
I get off the bed. He stands straight. “Let’s go.”
We leave his room, which has now become our room. I have made my room my study room, and this room is our bedroom.
“Mama called me today,” I tell him, sitting on my chair.
“And?”
“She was talking strange.” I put lobster mac and cheese on his plate and mine.
“Like?”
“Like I need to help her in setting you up with some girl.”
“And what did you say?”
“I said I won’t do any such thing. I don’t even like hearing that.” I scoff.
He smirks, then starts eating. I also start eating.
By the time we finish, the home assistant announces that Daddy’s chopper has just landed.
I frown. “Why is Daddy here?”
“I don’t know.”
We walk out of the dining room. The main door opens, and Mama and Daddy come inside. They are not looking happy. Daddy looks angry, and Mama looks tense.
He doesn’t even glance at me and walks straight to Zoan.
“What’s going on between you and Avira?”
My mouth hangs open, the floor is there, but I’m not really feeling it. Mama comes by my side.
“I love her,” Zoan says, and I feel a wave of dizziness.
Daddy hits him on the face. He takes the blow silently. Mama reaches Daddy’s side and holds his arm.
