Sir Lewis turned his gaze on me, so I swallowed because he might scold me because I fought his brother.

'"Sir Lewis, your brother?'" I assured

'"Obviously, yes'" was its simple answer

"Hoyy! You're a young brother, my Boss?"

"Obviously, yes. Why?" He asked calmly, imitating what his older brother said so I laughed. HAHAHA> _ <

I ignored it and swept that I might be fired later, it was difficult

"Why are you cleaning here?" The boy asked again

'"It's because I'm a janitres, I work here'" I replied

"Child, why did I only see you here?" I asked, the child's forehead furrowed

"Don't call me Bata, I'm not bata anymore. I'm big girl na '" its language annoyed, so I laughed again. Even Sir Lewis laughed weakly

"What am I going to call you, Child?"

'"Just call me Soffia'" smiled its language

"Ah, your name is the one I was watching, Soffia the First," I smiled.

'"Duhhh, it's Sofia the First and my name has a double eff. Like Soffia'" annoyed its explanation

I just shook my head and continued mopping. When I finished cleaning, I turned to the siblings. Sir Lewis was still doing what he was doing before, his sister Soffia was being bullied even though she was using her cellphone.

"Sir Lewis, I'll be the first, I'm done cleaning" I smiled, he turned his eyes to me and nodded.

I would have turned the doo knob in case I remembered something I wanted to ask

'"Sir Lewis'" I called, I called and he looked at me with a 'questioning look'

"How are you cooking adobo for your family, okay?" I asked, he will only answer this in case his brother speaks first.

"Are you the one who cooks the adobo, Kuya?" Sir Lewis asked with a wide smile and nodded in response.

"That's why it's delicious, Kuya, but how did you know how to cook adobo? Didn't you know how to cook?" He asked innocently.

"She teach me," Sir Lewis replied, looking at me.

It's like I'm constantly melting. Charrr!

'"Really she teach you?'" He asked enthusiastically, his older brother just nodded at him again.

'"Can you teach me too?'" He asked while pouting, he's cute!

"Of course," I smiled

'"Really?'" He shouted, almost knocking my eardrums off because of his shout

'"Just walk me to your older brother'" I whispered softly

'"What?'" Sir Lewis and Soffia asked at the same time, I was so scratchy in my head because of what I was saying.

'"No, I said yes"' I replied, surprised because Soffia hugged me

"Thank you Ate" he said while still hugging her.

But I don't know how to cook, I can only pickle.

the three of us are now at Sir Lewis and Soffia's mall

Because this child was kind, he said he wanted to go to the mall.

So now we're with his older brother who you thought would bear all the problems in the world, how come we're just frowning here at the mall

"Brother Calvin, Ate Airelle, we're at the Arcade," he said happily as he pointed to the arcade not far from where we were, he almost threw away the Ice cream he was eating because he was going to jump, so I immediately disobeyed because it might get dirty. Stop jumping

'"No, we're not going there we're going home'" it finally said

'"Cge na Kuya, I just want to play with Ate Airelle and you'" he pouts as he says, I feel sorry for him. Because of his older brother's kakj-yan

"Sir Lewis allow your child, If you just don't want me to go with Him '" I whispered here, while Soffia was watching the arcade I saw her sad

Sir Lewis sighed, before turning to his brother who was now facing him, and begging.

'' 'Okay, you can play. But please Soffia be careful, Okay? '' 'The child nodded quickly and ran to the Arcade here in the mall

So I just laughed softly because he looked like he wasn't 13 years old

'"Why?'" I was surprised at Sir Lewis's question as I turned around and it was staring at me

'"Yes?'" I asked

'"Why are you laughing?'" He asked

"Ah, HAHA Soffia because she's so cute '" I smiled

'"Why I'm not cute?'" She whispered softly, but I heard

"What's that Sir Lewis?" I asked even though I had heard it

'"Why am I not cute?'" It repeated, because I didn't burst out laughing

'"HAHAHAHA'"

'"What?'" Wrinkled at its question, so I stopped laughing. Maybe later it will suddenly hit me, It's hard

'"You're not Cute Sir Lewis'" I said while holding back a laugh

"What?" He asked again, as if disgusted

"You're not cute Sir Lewis, because you're so cute and so handsome. Especially Sir when you're smiling '" he said with a wide smile, he was an idiot and was statued on the stand so I laughed softly.

'"All right Sir Lewis I'll just follow Soffia'" I said laughing then ran towards Soffia

I heard it still calling me but I ignored it and just kept walking in Soffia's direction.

"Ate Airelle, we're here, Oh '" he said while pulling me, I drifted while laughing because it was obvious to him that he was very happy

The boy had so much fun that he tried to play with everyone in the Arcade

"Kuya your so Kj naman" "Soffia said artfully to Sir Lewis, he frowned, he didn't seem to understand what his brother said

'"What is Kj?'" Kunot noong tanong nito, Sabi na eh!

Soffia and I looked at each other and laughed at the same time

"Also, Kj Sir Lewis, don't you know what that means? Are you still human?"

We went home late at night, Sir Lewis and Soffia also took me. Soffia could hardly believe that I lived here in a small and cramped house, but eventually she managed to impress me.

When they left the car, I knocked on the door and then entered, but they did not have mom and dad.

How come they are not here? Where did they go?
