THE LONG AWAITED VISITOR

“Yo.” I said to him as he packed up to head home.
“Oh whatsup mam.” He replied me.
“what are you doing today?” I asked him.
And then he gave me a look of confusion.
“uhh, No but why?” He said to me, squinting his eyes.
“No reason just follow me.” I said walking forward.
“Wait..w.” He said as he quickened his packing.
We walked out of school and on the way to the destination he just kept on asking and asking.
“Where are we going, where are you taking me?”

“Bro just shut up and follow me" I replied him
Then we got there and then he said.
“oh is this where you live?” he asked and I nodded.
I entered inside and I could hear mama in the kitchen, she heard the door and she came outside to see me but then she saw him.
“Oh!?” she said looking at me then looking at him.
“mama, meet Evander, my friend from school” I said to her as I walked to sit down.

“Buenas tardes.” He anxiously replied my mom.
“Uuu, welcome how are you, come, come take a seat.” Mama said as she really smiled. Looking at me.
Mommy prepared food for the both of us and she talked to Evander about a lot of things, I later headed to the room and then he asked me.
“Why did you being me here?” he asked.
“what? Is there a problem.” Squinting my eyes at him and wearing a serious face.
“No, its not like that, I mean, its sudden, no wait, I mean I just, uhhh, Its just we’ve known each other from just three days or so, so uh, I just think, you know what I am sorry….” He said after panicking.

“Pffff, its okay man, I brought you here because we are friends and we are alike, and my mom can be your mom, she is really kind and sweet.” I said laughing.
“Thanks man, I don’t know what to say, I wish I could do the same but my mom you know.” He said to me.
“I don’t need that from you bro, look, this is your house too that’s it, my house may not be your house but that’s alright I don’t care.” I said to him as he smiled genuinely to me.
Ever since that day we got closer, we did everything together and we became like brothers, he always came to my place to chill and my mom knew his story, Mama liked him and she was thrilled to have him over because he wasn’t like the others she has seen me with, he was kind, considerate and most of all he wasn’t under the influence like most boys around.
After a week, it was time to welcome, Don Luciano, My father, this was my 15th birthday and even though Mama was skeptical, she listened to me, I told her my dad was going to show up on my birthday, and just like I said he was there.

I was prepared for that day, I was on a suit that Mama got for me some time ago, After the birthday wishes, the songs and praises, I switched into a suit and waited for him outside, I was out with Mama and after 45 minutes of waiting I was right.

Car in colors of black following each other flooded my street, the one in the front a heavy pick up, The one in the middle of all of them was and Mercedes s class, men in the SUV's came down in a file they lined up and then 2 out of up to 12 open the door then he stepped down from the car, He was in black, wearing a hat and had a black Walking stick with gold finish.
I stood up, looking at him standing from my elevated stairs and him standing on the ground, he removed his hat and the first thing he said was.

“My boy.” With a smile.
he was a chubby man with a potbelly, his face was slightly rough and his eyes indeed spells danger, I looked at mama and she was anxious as his eyes moved to her, she did not feel safe she felt in danger, we stood there and then it was time for me to say something.
“Welcome to our humble abode, father” I said with a smirk challenging look.
He smiled.
“Thank you my son.” He said.
“Please come in.” I offered as I went up the stairs.

“No.” He replied, then I turned back.
“I came here for you, I came here to take you, I did not come here as someone visiting, I came here as your father coming to take away from this dump.” He said.
“Hmm, I see, well I will not be following you to any luxurious place, I have decided to stay.” I said to him with my hands in my pocket.
“Did your mother talk you into this?” He said striking a cold look at her.

“You came here for me so why are you giving my mother that look?” I confronted him.
“Because your mother can use our words to deceive anyone, just like she has done before to me.” He said to me.

“she? deceive you? Papa you got it all wrong? The last time I remember, my mother did not come into another person’s life with a fake name, a fake personality, and my mother did not disappear out of the blue, so who here is the deceiver?” I said to him with a serious face and a cold look.

“wow, this is what you have been teaching my boy? This? You who I trusted to keep my secrets?” He said looking at my mom in disappointment and shacking his head.
“This is what I get for trusting a woman ehh?” He said to me as he laughed and looking around to his men.

“You laugh like what you did was something good, you laugh like my mother was never supposed to tell me who my father was, when I begged her, I cried and waited over and over, year after year outside this place hoping you would show up vaguely for my birthday, then you say my mother is at fault?” I said looking at him as my eye brows drew closer.

“….” He was quiet..

“I am sorry, I’m sorry for blaming your mother, I’m sorry for putting her into this, this is between me and you but you don't know me enough to say you don't want to live with me, I may have changed or were you not thought a second chance?” He said raising his eyebrows at me, his appologies carried little to no remorse.

“If my mother never taught me second chances then I doubt you would ever teach me that.” I said back to him, This was serious business and I was ready to defend my mother to the end.
“OK then, how about to make you deal, you come live with me, for 12 days and if after that you decide not to stay with me then I will understand.” He said, Lifting his heart to cover his face I’m secretly covering his smirk.

“You talk like you have right over me staying here, I will not agree to your terms, I will not by any means agree what’s the new reason behind those terms but I can’t make my own.” I said to him as he turned his head to the side and nodded.

“My term is, I will only leave my house to a destination that is not your home, a destination that is not your place, a destination that you've not lived in before, my second term is, I must return back to my home before 8:30 PM and no matter what my mother mustn't look for me, if these rules be broken and you take me to a place where you will stash me, or a place where you would keep me far away from everyone and everything, a place where I wouldn’t see my mother again. I promise you, I will find you even though it takes me 20 years, I will find you even though it takes me 30 years, and I will kill every man you hired till I get to you, I will kill their families till I get to you, and if by that time you are not around I Sebastian your own blood will destroy everything you have brought up, everything you have put together, I promise you this one, and to everyone who will be here to hear me say this except from my mother, I will kill you and your families and your relatives and I will become a special assassin just for anyone who knows you, or is close to you, I don’t need to say anything, well you know who your boss is and you know that he does not go back on promises, talk less of me his own blood, I will fulfill everything I have said with great prowess." I said, as my words struck fear into every heart there, my words made even my own father look at me like an enemy and his own guys opened their eyes in seriousness.

“I told you all!!” He said shouting.
“This is my son, that's no man question me, that’s no man look at me as weak, For if a boy of 15 can challenge the hearts of you all well above 30 then understand that I don’t make mistakes and my legacy will prevail.” He said, wearing a prideful smile on his face, a face like he was impressed.

“I, Don Luciano Ramiro, Agrees to your terms and if any man that stands here fails to deliver, I will kill them myself except you wish for them to be spared.” He said, with a smile and stretching his hands out for a shake, to seal the deal.
I went down and shook his hand but after that he dragged me in and give me a hug, I give me hope too and then step back.

“You have grown up to be fine man” He said to me with a smile, as he looked up and bowed his head to my mother.
“I’ll be picking you tomorrow.” He said turning his back and entering his car.
I waited right where i stood as all the cars went forward and then I turned back to Mama.
She had the shock on face, and I could tell that she was worried but then she said.

“You really didn’t make a good bargain.” Finally letting out a smile.
“I tried didn’t i" I said to her as I hugged her.
“yes you did, she said to me.”
“You defended me to the end, I’m proud of you, but I want you to watch out for your father, he is a tricky man and he is really corny, think twice about his questions before you answer and most especially smartly on size questions, he’s intrigued by you, he doesn't find You pitiful so keep that up the last thing in which you said about those men, not to make them not mess with you but still watch out for them because if I have known your father, then I can tell you, words move him but actions establish the words that have already moved him.” She said, as I nodded in agreement and understanding
