Truth

Apparently mom was right, I fled to my room and that gave her a sense of peace. 

And no matter how much I try to hide the fact, it pains me not to be able to tell the truth to my father.

That the son he thought he adopted Is non other but his biological son.

The next morning, before any one woke up, I had already entered the kitchen and prepared a lovely dish for my father (master Leonardo)

It was past eight and everyone all went down to the living room, Mrs. Jane takes a fast sight at my dish.

"What is that?". She implored, aiming to infuriate me.

" it's called food ma'am" I retorted patiently waiting for my father.

A few idling moment, master Leonardo walks down to the dining room table.

And the first thing he saw was the food placed on the table.

"Wow, this looks nice?". ( he complements and sat to get served)

Immediately, I left Mrs. Jane and run to him, " good morning dad, I prepared this specially for you?".( I mumbled and that gets Mrs. Jane infuriated by it, she turns to the exit and left us looking at her)

"Don't mind her?". Master Leonard told on sewing back my attention to him, in turn a weak smile appeared and I went on filling the dish I prepared for my dad on the plate placed at the table.

He goes on having a taste, " damn, you're a good cook?".( he praised me once again, and watched him eat clearing the plate)

"Do you need more dad?". ( I asked and he went further disapproving my words) " no son, I'm okay, thanks for the lovely meal my son".( he placed his hands on my shoulders giving me a solacing smile)

The same time Keith walks in, he saw us chatting at the dining room table but excluded to greet not even his own dad)

Master Leonardo slope into a sad look seeing the behavior portrayed by him. "Dad, don't be sad?". ( my voice codes his eyes back to me and he said) " I'm not sad, I would've been if you were not here but thankfully, you're, indeed God has a way of blessing me with a son like you, that even after my death you will carry on my legacy".

(Smiles)

And dad was right, I would most certainly carry on the woods legacy, even though he was or wasn't my real dad, I wouldn't hesitate to do anything just to make him happy.

Afterwards, he left to his room, I took the plate to the kitchen and placed it inside the sink, holding a soap and sponge in my hand.

"Master Chris, ill do that please".

Maria Jose got the soap and sponge away from me in a flash.

She stood at front and washed the plates.

"Thank you Maria Jose". I said and swiveled my head evacuating from the kitchen.

" master Chris, please hold on".

Her voice froze me to stop, she got talking glimpsing the itching look on my face.

"Master Chris, I need your help, it seems the assignment given to us at college is quite difficult to understand".

( she let's on to me)

I tried recalling the assignment given, and she goes on explaining further.

" ohh!! You mean the assignment they asked us to write a ten page on the our daily lives".

(I implored and her head nods affirming my words)

"Yes please, I don't think I can be able to write more than two pages, ". Maria Jose accidentally scraped soap on her forehead, without knowing, I smiled seeing that.
