Team

I walked to my parents grave and all the memory came crashing like waves. It was as if I haven't mourn them for last six months. All the times we have passed together, good times and bad times, in laughter and sorrow. Like the first time dad taught me how to ride a cycle. Like the time I came home with a fever and mom made my favorite meal. When mom used pull me by ear for not listening to her.

I have lost everything. What have I done god? Why are you punishing me? I couldn't stay still anymore. I just fell on my knees in pain. Pain like somebody ripped my heart out and now it's all hollow. I could feel a arm coming around me and pulling me in a hug. Pulling me out of my hollow phase. "Team? Team?? Are you listening? Calm down please" a sweet voice filled my ear. "Try to breath please"

Once I was calm he sat me down on a bench. "Sorry these days I have no control over my emotion" I said looking ahead of me. "You know Team when I was in my third year I was thinking about exploring the world, swimming, hangouts and party. Never in my life once I had to run or hide for my life with 30 million of debt hanging on neck. So I understand how bad your situation is, no need to say sorry" win said putting a hand on my shoulder. He really understands me.

Win

"How do you know about the debt? Hia are you spying on me" Team asked glaring at me. "Aaahhhh" I didn't know what to say. I scratched my neck. "Hiaaaa that's so wrong" he said looking at me angrily. "Look I didn't mean to invade your privacy. I was just worried about you" I said putting my hands up. "But it's still wrong" he said puffing his cheeks. So cute. "Well I tried to ask you but that didn't work. So I had to. Now tell me about it" I asked him again. He told me all about the debt. "So now how would you pay it back cause trust me no job will give you enough money to payback in three months" I said. "I know that hia. I think the house will go for auction" he said as his tears threatened to pour out. "I can't save the last thing my parents loved and built for us. I am pathetic son".

"I wish I could help but I don't have that much money Team" I said sadly. "No hia I would have never taken your money. It's my duty to pay back not yours" We sat there for another half an hour talking about Team's parents, listening to his funny family stories. "Hia let's go back. I have to pack" he said rising from his seat. As we were passing by Team's parents grave we paid our respect then I heard Team saying "Mom dad I'll do everything to keep our home ours. I'll fight till the end. I won't give up. I'll keep you wishes, your hope for our home protected. I promise". I said nothing, this boy knows it's impossible but still he promised. Maybe he is just emotional.

We returned to Team's place and he packed everything he needed. We put everything in the car trunk as it wasn't much just basics. We drove to my grandparents place and the butlers and maids took Team's belongings to his room. My mom was sitting in the living room reading magazine. "Oh you two are back. Win what happened to your hand? It's bruised. Oh god sit down I'll bring medicine" mom said worried. "Mom it's ok. It's just a little accident from yesterday's game. You know I get really competitive sometimes. So relax" I said making my mom sit back on the sofa. "You better be careful next time mister" mom said in a warning tone. "Okay okay I'll be careful" "Oh Team I'm going to the mall. Let's go with me sweetheart and buy anything you like" mom said looking at Team. "No no aunty I don't need anything. I'm alright but I can accompany you if you want" Team said. "You're so kind and cute Team. Learn something from him Win. See a true gentleman" mom said teasing me. "Well that gentleman got invited so bye guys. I'm going to take a long nap"
"Yeah yeah why not? You've only two things to do in this world eating and sleeping. God make yourself productive lazyass" mom said pulling my ear. "Mommm let go I'm not a kid anymore" mom let go of my ear. "To me you always will be" she said that and told Team to get ready.

Team and I was walking towards our rooms. Team was about to entered the room, I held his arm and said "Team I know you're not going to take mom's money to buy anything but please take my card and buy at least something for you" handed him my card. "No hia I can't" he tried to protest as always. "I said please Team at least honor my request" I left leaving the card in his hand.

Team

Me and aunty were in the car but suddenly the driver missed the turn we need to take for mall. "Aunty we missed the turn" I told her but aunty looked unfazed. "Don't worry team we are going where we are supposed to be" and kept looking out of the window. I seat back to watch the car going towards jungle nervously.

What the hell is happening and where the hell are we going? God help me.

That's all for today. Hope you liked it.
