A Mistake… A Baby!

Alessandra let out a chuckle. After that, she thought about the pals she had after school every day. They get a free lift from his father all the way back to their house.

When the bus conductor had collected the fare, he turned to his father and asked, “Where are you headed?”

“Santa Clara Village.”

The young girl with braids who was standing next to them exclaimed in shock and asked, “Hello, sir. Do you both live in Santa Clara Village?”

To Alessandra’s calculations, she is approximately the same age as the young girl.

Her father gave the fare to the conductor and then looked at the girl and said. “Oh, hi darling. Yes. My daughter and I are staying in Santa Clara Village. We haven’t been here in a week. Is there any problem?” Her father then stared at the girl.

“Oh, I see, sir. Because it’s only my first time seeing you both. I also live in Santa Clara Village. It’s only a little village, sir, so everyone knows one another,” she said.

Her father acknowledged what she was saying by nodding and asking, “Is that so? I see…”

“May I ask, sir, what block do you live in?”

“We are renting a flat in an apartment building, and our address is Block 7,”

The young girl said, “Oh my goodness! Sir, really?! We’re neighbors. I am living in Block 7 too. Are you both living in a four-story apartment with a metal gate?” Her eyes shone with excitement. “We’re neighbors. I lived in Block 7 too.”

Her father indicated with a nod that he agreed.

The tiny girl exclaims with a beaming smile, “Oh my god! Anyway, mister, my name is Cathryn!”

And Alessandra was aware that Cathryn had already won her father’s vote; she knew her father already liked Cathryn. She looks like a positive girl. “Just call me Uncle Benjamin. And here’s my daughter Sandy,” Alessandra’s father introduced them.

The young girl gave her a friendly grin and said, “Hi, Sandy!”

It was strange that they had only been talking for a short period, but she seemed to be at ease with her now. She expressed her wish that they may become friends.

“Hi, Cathryn. Sure. I also want to make friends since my father told me that we will live in the city for good,” She greeted back.

Cathryn giggled. “Oh my gosh, then good!”

She noticed a man standing next to her. Alessandra can determine that the man is in his early to mid-twenties. “Is he your family member, Cathryn?”

The young girl nodded. “Yes. He is my nanny’s son, and his name is Justin. Consequently, I now think of him as my brother as well.”

Justin responded with a smile when Alessandra bobbed at him.

According to her observations, the people who live in their village are friendly neighbors, so it appears as though she won’t have any trouble adjusting to her new environment.

The conductor’s announcement that they had arrived in Santa Clara Village was the only thing that managed to pull them away from their conversation.

After alighting from the bus, they carried on their conversation as they made their way through the village.

They arrived in Block 7 just a few minutes later.

“This is our home,” Cathryn said, pointing to the large house that was located just in front of the apartment where they lived.

Cathryn is correct; they are merely neighbors! Justin has already gone inside. She let out a gasp.

His father gave the young girl a look and said, “Cathryn, if you’re not busy, you can join us for snacks. I bought some burger and fries here,”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Wow, you know what, Uncle Benjamin? I can never say no to food!”

What Cathryn said made them all laugh out loud.

Her father gave her a grin. “It seems you have a very strong appetite, Cathryn. Sandy, keep Cathryn entertained while I prepare the snacks.”

Cathryn had a look around as her father went to the kitchen.

“Your place is wonderful. It looks so comfortable. Do you have a room?”

It’s funny to think that they had just met, but she was already showing off her room to him.

“Oh my goodness, it’s amazing how well we can get along. The color pink is one of my favorites as well. ” Cathryn screamed.

“But, Sandy. May I know in which school you are currently enrolled?”

“I am currently in the sixth grade at Santa Clara University, Cathryn,” She answered.

Cathryn surprised her greatly by screaming at the top of her lungs and even hitting her in the arms.

She rolled her eyes and asked Cathryn in a humorous tone, “Can you kindly lower your voice? You’re in my room, haler?”

Cathryn’s bottom lips were being nibbled on as she spoke. “Oops. Sorry! I can’t help it! Seriously, you’re also enrolled at SCU? I’m also studying there. Maybe we’ll be classmates, Sandy! I’m also in 6th grade,” Cathryn said with a smile plastered across her face.

Alessandra is already like Cathryn now. And secretly harbors the dream that they will be classmates soon.

A couple of weeks passed.

Benjamin instructed his daughter to wait for their package outdoors and the delivery man. Her father placed an order for something on the internet. Alessandra got outside, and she saw a group of young people hanging out in front of Cathryn’s house.

“Sandy, has the delivery boy arrived already?” Her father’s voice could be heard yelling from inside the house.

“He hasn’t arrived yet, dad!” Alessandra exclaimed. She yelled back at him. She doesn’t want anyone to see her she’s stalking or eavesdropping on him. That would be the end of her!

She was able to spot a man emerging from Cathryn’s home even from a considerable distance. He has thick, wavy, and dark hair. Her eyes seemed to be riveted on the man, and even though she couldn’t look at him closely, she knew that he was a handsome man. It is obvious. He has a domineering aura.
