3 years passed by as
they lived together, rizzer age is now 10 years old. Damian and Angela can now
walk and even talking a few sentences, and they were so super clingy at Riz.
Fuz and Lyla chuckle and smile because Riz looked very happy and really took
care of them so much, and they look like a real siblings.
Angela and Damian are
now 3 years old. When Fuz and Lyla went to work, the caretaker that they
employed often had headaches. This is because Angela is very active, she thinks
that everything around her are very interesting, so the caretaker cannot take
off her eyes away from Angela. Meanwhile Damian are rather obedient, he is much
easier to be taken care off. But since he always follow Angela around, he
mostly become her partner in crime.
The caretaker has lost
count of how many the employer vase, plate, glass and fragile decoration that
the two of them has broken. Early on when the caretaker first worked, she
always felt very scared to face the employer when it was time for her to retire
for the day.
But now, she felt that
when the two children does not damage more than five items, it would simply
amount to nothing. The reason why she felt like that is because her employer
had never blame her or penalize her for that, instead her employer simply asked
her to wrote down a lift of things that they damaged.
One more thing is
that, she would only be tired during the morning. Because when their big
brother, Riz, returned home, the two children would instantly behave and clung
to Riz. So for the whole evening, all she need to do is just prepare some snack
for them.

Riz at school, at
first Fuz was worried if Riz would be unable to get some friend because Fuz
does not know where and how Riz has been before Riz returned. Fuz worried prove
to be unnecessary because Riz can perfectly talk and communicate with the
children around his age.
“Hey Riz, I heard that
you didn’t go to kindergarten before this.” One of the boy asked while he is
staring at Riz, while the other kids around them listen with curiosity.
“Mhm,” Riz nods, “I
got lost somewhere… so I wasn’t able to return to my home for a really really
long time…”
“Eh… aren’t that
scaryyyy? You be alone…?” They asked more. “Wu wu, If that happen to me, I’d
cry so so much looking for my papa and mama.” Said one of the girl.
Riz laughed a bit when
he heard the girl, and he shook his head a bit, “I’m still fine now because I
met a real weird uncle. He take care of me for a while and when I can recognize
my hometown again, I quickly return home. The uncle didn’t stop me going home.”
“Eh really?” They
asked and Riz nods with smile. Of course he actually had no recollection of
what happened to him during the years that he has gone missing, but he will not
say that because he know they would be scared or might not want to be friends
with him.
And so, his day at
this school are fine, with everyone wanted to be friends with him because he is
very easy to talk to, and he is also very good at his study. He would never
reject anyone when they asked for his help.
There is a kid, he was
seated next to Riz. He never talked to Riz, but he is always watching him
because for him Riz is his rival. Before this this kid always got the first
place in all his test, so when Riz got the first place during their midterm
exam, that kid felt unsatisfied and started watching Riz, so that he can learn
something from Riz to beat Riz’s score.
Though everyone in
class can see that that kid are trying to compete with Riz, and some of them
even go ask the kid, “Hey Joseph, why are you staring at Riz so sooo much?”
“I’m not staring!”
Joseph said and cross his arm.
“But everyone saw
that. You can’t deny that” They said and boo at Joseph, thinking that he is a
coward when he does not want to admit to what he did.
“It’s not like Riz
gunna beat you… if you wanna be friend with him, just go talk to him.” Said
another one.
Joseph gritted his
teeth, “It’s not like I want to be friend with him! Humph!” After he said that,
he ran away from them.

One day in autumn, Riz
has just returned home, when he got a call from his parents that today they are
going to come home a bit early. Riz smiled and when he enter the house, he told
to the housekeeper that he wanted to have a mini picnic outside in front of
their house.
The housekeeper nods,
“Okay Riz, I’ll just go bring out your apple pie then.”
“Thank you,” Riz
thanked and then he go to take some mat and some other things to go prepare
outside. Angela help Riz to bring some plastic plate and their napkin, while
Damian bring their cup, fork and spoon. So they arrange all the stuffs
together, and finally Riz go and bring out their umbrella to protect the two
from the sun.
The housekeeper come
out soon with a freshly made apple pie, some sandwich, and also come candies.
“Here is it” she said with a smile, “oh right, I’ll also bring out your coat,
since its autumn after all. It won’t be good for you three to be sick.”
“Oh! But Angela wanna
go pick Angela’s favourite coat!” Angela said with sparkle, and upon seeing
that sparkly eyes, the housekeeper sweats a bit as she know that Angela will
for sure make a mess of her room is she come along.
“Um, Damian too…”
Damian said while playing with his hands.
“Well then, big
brother will go along too then.” Riz said and pats both Angela and Damian,
since he know they might trouble the housekeeper. The housekeeper utter a sigh,
she felt quite glad that Riz is coming along.
And so they went into
the house together. Firstly they go to Angela room to pick her coat, she look
around her closet and choose a fluffy pink coat that have sakura flower petals.
Then they go to Damian room where Damian picked a black coat with starry
pattern on it. Riz just pick any coat that he sees and then they went back
outside to eat.
And so they play
around as they sometimes come back and eat something. The housekeeper sat next
to Riz as she watched them play. She was startled when Angela suddenly come and
showed a small green snake to Riz. “A-Angela..! Snake is dangerous…!”
“Yea, Angela, put it
back at where you pick it, okay?” Riz ruffled Angela hair and chuckle a bit.
“Aw… But look! It’s so
cute…” Angela said with a pout, sulking a bit since she thought that Riz might
compliment her. “See! Look at its eyes!” She said while bringing the snake
closer to Riz and the housekeeper.
“Well… calm down, you
are going to choke the snake if you hold it tighter.” Riz said and points to
her hand, “See how the snake is struggling.” Angela look at the snake more, and
with another pout, she then go back to the small berries bushes and release the
little snake.
The housekeeper wipe
her sweats and then go see what Damian is doing. As she walk closer, she can
see that Damian are taking the picture of the stuffs that he think look
interesting. At the moment, he is taking a picture of a beetle that was just
going to fly away.
And so as they were
eating, not far from their front yard that they are having a picnic, they can
see the car of their parents. Seems like they really are returning early today.
Angela and Damian happily stood up and waved their small hands to them.
“Mommy! Daddy!” Angela
called happily. Lyla who is sitting at the passenger seat smiled and waved back
to them, when suddenly Fuz kick the break, and a loud crashing sound can be
heard.
“Ah? Wha…” Riz mumble
and froze there, he clearly saw what happened, while the housekeeper screamed
in shock. Angela and Damian stopped waving, they look at each other, and then
ran toward the car.
The neighbour came out
of their house when they heard the crash sound, some was really quick to call
911, and some even call the ambulance. The housekeeper hold onto both Angela
and Damian hand when she noticed that they ran to the car.
The other neighbor
went to the car and helped by taking out Fuz and Lyla out from the car. They
also helped the other car, where there is a pair of husband and wife, and a
young little girl. All that was involved in the car crash, the four adult was
heavily injured since they all sat at the front seat. It is unknown if they can
be saved or not. The little girl situation are a bit better off, as she got
some injury on some of her body.
