Looking up, I saw pure shock on his face. I took a step back as uncle Roberto scrutinised my face. Why was he looking at me in such a manner. Papa ran over to and stepped in front of me as if to protect me but I saw no threat as such.

"Papa. . .what's wrong? " I asked him as my hands gripped the back of his shirt. Something was not right.

"Please keep calm Roberto, just bare with me OK?. . . Look, I. . ."

"Is this why you left? Everything For. . .! oh my God! Where is she?? I want answers! My own brother a. . . TRAITOR!" Uncle shouted at him. I shuddered at the force he spoke with.

"Papa?" I whispered, my confusion was revealed as I asked my one worded question. Papa wrapped his arms around me. I looked at his face and saw the same pain etched face I had been seeing for years. The heart broken man was back because of his brothers words.

"I am no traitor!!" Papa shouted back as he clung on to me tightly. My mouth fell open as i had never heard him speak in such a tone before. I saw a movement, turning i saw with wide eyes as my uncle's posture changed and he was bowing his head. I felt even more confused but brushed it off. Papa could beat his butt, looking at his body compared to my fathers, my father would win hands down.

"I did what I had to. I did no wrong and neither did she! I do not regret leaving, for it was the only way. Why don't you understand. . I. Damn you Rob, stand straight!" He had started of with a whispered but was shouting at the end, and at such a force I had to step back a little.

Uncle Roberto straightened up instantly.

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't order you and never will again"

"You used to order him before and he would listen?" I asked curiously. These old people were odd, I would so not be ordered around, never had been and never will be. I thought to myself.
