Flash Marriage Makes A Perfect Match

“Severo, wait for me!”

The voice behind him sounded familiar and Severo stopped and turned to see that the boy in front of him was a little shorter than him and seemed to be in his class, but he couldn’t remember his name.

“Are you sure you’re not going to the class event tomorrow?”

“No go.” Severo shook his head, and it was then that he remembered who the man was, the class president.

He had been transferred here for most of the year, was a loner and didn’t know his class well, but Ariela told him not to be too cold and to behave warmly.

He thought for a moment and explained to the class president: “I’m sorry about the family tomorrow.

“So, ah, all right then.” The squad leader shook his head repeatedly, smiling in a way that didn’t bother him at all.

Severo is notoriously cold, but he is not unapproachable, says very little, responds when a classmate speaks to him, asks him questions and he answers them, is polite and intelligent, everyone in the class likes him, but no one can get along with him.

“Goodbye.

Severo finished and turned towards the school entrance.

At fourteen, the boy is growing and is already five foot six. The wind blows his white shirt against his body, revealing his slim figure.

The people around him were in a hurry, but he was the only one who kept walking in the direction of home without any hurry.

…

When we got home, Ariela was cooking.

When she heard the door open, Ariela knew it was him and called out, “Severo is back, dinner will be ready soon, eat before you go do your homework”.

“Hmm,” Severo replied, and went into his room with his school bag on his back.

It’s been almost a year since he followed his mother to Cloud Cit and she’s not as busy as she used to be and has time to cook for him, which is pretty good.

When she changed and went out, Ariela had the food ready.

“Mum, I don’t need to wait for you, you can eat first.” Severo took a seat at the table, a smile shining in his dark eyes.

“We are also both eating, there is nothing to expect”.

As Ariela talks, she offers him food and Severo takes it in his bowl.

Finally, as if remembering something, Ariela said, “You remember what Mom told you before, don’t you?

Severo replied: “Remember that the class is organising an event tomorrow and it’s OK if you don’t attend.

“First I’m going to show you a picture of my sister”. Ariela got up mysteriously and went back to her room.

Severo put down the chopsticks and waited for Ariela to come out.

He knew that Ariela was in love and that the other had a nine-year-old daughter, so if they married he would have another little sister.

Ariela soon came out and handed the painting to Severo with an expectant look on her face: “Isn’t it beautiful?

Severo picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.

The photo shows a little girl in a pink princess dress, sitting obediently on a chair and holding a rag doll in her hand, her bright eyes tilted to look at the camera and smile, looking well-behaved and pretty.

She raised her hand and elbowed him in the face, the sister was quite pretty.

…

The next day, around noon, Ariela took him out.

Sitting in the car, listening to Ariela ramble on and on, he thought his mother was like a little boy sometimes, talkative and a bit boring.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dragged him to come and see his little sister in secret.

Ariela doesn’t know what to do. She is clearly a talker herself, but how can she have such an exaggerated child?

The two stood guard at the entrance to the primary school for a while, and when classes ended at noon, Ariela pulled him to stand behind a tree near the entrance and waited for the younger sister to leave.

It was he who first saw his little sister.

She was even prettier than in the picture, standing at the school gate with a kitten backpack on her back, behaving as if she was waiting for someone.

She pulled Ariela and pointed in the direction of her little sister: “Is that her?”

Ariela looked in the direction he pointed and her eyes lit up. “That’s her, her name is Allyce, your sister, but Yoshiyuki calls her Allyce, we can call her that too”.

Soon a black car arrived and a refined man got out, squatted down in front of Allyce, said something to her and took her by the hand to get into the car.

The man, whom I knew as Orlin, was my mother’s boyfriend.

Over the years, there have been many chasers of mum, but most of them were unsatisfactory. Her and Orlin, it’s hard to say who’s chasing who, it’s water under the bridge, isn’t it?

Anyway, he doesn’t get it.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

…

Allyce’s primary schools, not far from the high school he attended, was a block away and he sometimes went there when he was bored.

Unlike him, she seemed to be very popular at school and both boys and girls loved to play with her.

He was a little worried about what would happen if his sister thought he talked too little and didn’t want to play with him.

The question had always bothered him, and being an introvert and unable to ask people questions, he had to put up with it until Ariela and Orlin talked about taking the children of the two families out to dinner together.

“Severo, I have spoken to you Uncle Delahoz, tomorrow Saturday we will all have dinner together, it is a formal meeting, but I may not have time to cook for you tonight, I am going to accompany you Uncle Delahoz to a dinner, I have ordered takeaway, you will have to eat …. …”

Severo said helplessly: “I know, go on”.

He is fourteen years old and only his mother still treats him like a child who can’t do anything.

Countless times afterwards, looking back, how he wished he could have been whimsical for once and let his mother cook for him while he left her behind and didn’t let her go to that dinner.

He went to bed after eating and in the middle of the night he heard the sound of someone talking outside and was startled awake.

He casually picked up a desk lamp and opened the door to see a whole line of bodyguards standing outside.

At that moment, another man entered from outside and the bodyguards made their way in.

The man, with a frown, bowed respectfully and said: “Mr. Severo, I am Saul, Monsieur le Comte has sent me to fetch you.

Severo didn’t know him, but he was very aware of what was happening, and his voice had trembled a little as he left: “Where is my mother?”

“I beg your pardon.”

She heard the meaning of Saul’s words and instantly looked up at him with red eyes and disbelief: “I want to see my mother”.

“Mademoiselle has passed away, Mr. Severo please take my condolences as well”. When Saul finished, he turned his head and winked at the man next to him, and someone stepped forward, grabbed Severo and led him compulsively towards the door.

He did not have the strength to resist, and in desperation he said: “I want to see Uncle Delahoz!”

“Orlin?” Saul frowned, “He’s the killer, he’s been arrested, we’ll deal with the aftermath, Mr Severo just has to follow us to J.”

Severo’s first reaction was to reply: “Impossible!”

However, no one listened to him.
