“Yeah, it was really fun.” Bosco signed putting on a happy façade whilst inside his heart was slowly crumbling.
“Oh I had so much fun today.” A big smile appeared on Leila’s flushed face. “It was just the best.” She giggled.
Bosco gave her a weak smile as he fumbled with the keys.
=======================
The room was once again filled with silence. Kenix shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Her head perked up once she heard the door knob squeak as it turned.
“Oh look Bosco and Leila must be home.” Kenix directed her eyes towards the door.
Charmaine’s eyes followed Kenix, her hands shook terribly, accidentally spilling some tea on her beige knee length Chanel skirt. She took in a deep breath attempting to calm down her jumpy nerves.
The door clicked open. “Mom I’m home.” Leila shouted skipping happily into the house. She stopped immediately as she saw another woman in the living room.
Bosco walked in behind Leila with his head down, he tried to make a bee line to his room but was stopped by Kenix.
“Bosco, I would like you to meet someone.” Kenix said nervously, she was rubbing her hands continuously.
Bosco walked into the living room slowly, stopping in front of Kenix. His eyes roamed to the woman beside her. Their eyes met and he felt a lump in his throat.
“Bosco this is your mom.” Kenix said softly. Leila let out a gasp.
“Leila, Uncle Frankie needs our help at his house.” Kenix said quickly ushering Leila out of the small apartment, leaving Charmaine and Bosco alone.
“Bosco.” Charmaine whispered softly as her hands traced his facial features. Tears brimmed the edges of Bosco’s eyes as he looked at his own mother. A tear slowly rolled down his cheek to his dismay.
Charmaine brushed away the tear with her thumb. “I’m sorry.” She said shakily as tears slid down her cheeks. Bosco pulled her into an embrace shaking his head.
Having the courage, she finally whispered, “Are you mad at me Bosco?” She pulled away from the embrace staring deeply into his big innocent eyes, hoping for an honest answer. He shook his head. More tears rushed out of her eyes as, she rest her head on his chest.
They broke their embrace. “I- I’m not mad at you, Mom” Bosco managed to choke out, his voice was hoarse and low. “I never was.” Charmaine’s back stiffened as she heard his voice, knowing well that she was the cause of his voice lost.
Ravaging through her purse, Charmaine searched frantically for a pen and a piece of paper. After finding a pen and a piece of paper, she quickly scribbled some numbers on it and handed the note to Bosco.
“Here is my address and my phone number. My cell number is there also. Call me or come find me if you ever need any help.” Charmaine looked at his naïve, boyish face, pulling him into her arms once again. “I have to go soon, my flight back to Canada is tonight.” He nodded, and she quickly placed a kiss on his cheek.
“Goodbye Bosco.” With that she left him standing alone in the living room looking at the piece of paper.
===================
“Honey who did you visit?” Steven Ma pulled Charmaine into a tight embrace as she settled into the black BMW.
“Just a friend and her son.” She replied back softly.
“Mr. Ma, Nancy siew jie just called and asked if you would like to have dinner with her.” The chauffer asked politely.
“That girl, never wanting to give her parents some alone time.” Steven smiled.
Charmaine turned her head to take a last glance at the tiny apartment. Her heart filled with sorrow as she saw Bosco’s head poking out of a window. A lone tear slid down her milky white cheek.
