Caecilia

"Vivian, welcome to my home." My aunt greeted mother warmly, as if they're a really close sisters that had been separated for a long time.

"Caecilia, thanks for inviting us to your home, i've never thought of having a sister so pretty like you!" My mother replied while sincerely complementing her.

Both of them continued chatting about anything and everything since they've literally never met with each other, they chatted about work, childrens and more.

I enjoyed seeing my mom talking happily with her sister while my father is awkwardly hearing everything they're saying since he didn't have anything else to do.

My sister just sometimes join in their conversation when they're talking about fashion, trying to get to our aunt's good side and get some freebies, well that's just my own thought on what she's doing, if she's not talking with them then she's reading the magazines she found under the table.

While me? I might look bored from the outside perspective but i'm wrecking my brain right now, trying to figure out why does my aunt seems so familiar, there's a face of a certain someone that pops onto my mind but i doubt its her so i stopped thinking about her.

The maid from earlier had gone into the kitchen and came back with a tray of snacks, be it cake, cream puffs, or Éclairs, there's just so much to chose from! It is still morning right now so i'm kinda against eating sweets but they just looks so delicious!

My mom sees the tray of sweets and thanks my Aunt for her hospitality, on which she just responds "Eat up, i especially order this to be made for your family." with a beaming smile plastered on her face.

I gave in to my temptation when i heard this is especially made for us, using that as an excuse, I took a cheesecake from the tray and grabbed a spoon, taking my first bite of the cake, it was safe to say that i achieved inner peace from it.

I can't even describe the taste of the cake, i know that i seem to be exaggerating but i had always loved cheesecakes, be it strawberry, blueberry, as long as it's a cheesecake, i'll eat it.

I'm not the only one enjoying the sweets, my sister who also have a sweet tooth like me, enjoys the cream puffs , my mother also enjoyed the Éclair while my father asks for a coffee, and he seems to be enjoying it.

Overall arriving to my aunt's house is one of the best decision that our family have ever made, meeting my mother's long lost sister, enjoying beautiful sceneries and things, then eating the best cakes ever for free, can this day get any better!

Mother and my Aunt kept talking happily, right now i have discarded the thought of my aunt's familiarity to the back of my head since it's not that important anyways.

After 3 hours or so, its is now 12 O'Clock, My aunt invites us to have lunch with her which we accepted gleefully.

She guides us to her dining room, a big one at that. In there we saw a table, cloth with white cloth and candles on the middle. The table is just perfect enough to fit all 5 of us, which then i remembered that my aunt has a daughter.

"By the way Aunt, where's your daughter, i heard from my mom that she's my age?" I asked, just wanna know

"Please just call me Caecil, i don't really like being called Aunt, and my daughter is hanging out with her friends right now so sadly she can't join us for lunch, she will be back at around 5 O'Clock though" My aunt answered, well it's Caecil now i guess, i don't really mind calling her that, but my mom probably will be mad if i call her that, nah it's okay i guess.

We probably will stay here until the sun has gone down, i don't really mind though since i want to get away from my cycle of playing games and watching animes once in a while.

Our lunch is Top-Notch, which i expected, we ate an A5 wagyu beef, either mushroom, BBQ or anything is available for us to pick, i always like mushroom sauce so i picked in and you know it, DELICIOUS!!!!!

While eating we were accompanied by a smooth jazz song, wonderful lunch, easily surpassed anything that I've ever experienced.

After lunch, My aunt told us how she gets to find my mother as her long lost sister. I knew that my mother's father, my grandpa abandoned my grandma while my mother is 1 years old with a house, a letter and a stack of money, in the letter he wrote

'I'm sorry for leaving, and at the time where you and our daughter needed my support the most, i have more things that i need to do, something that you can't possibly help with and i can't bring you with me, please don't search for me as you will never succeed, I've warned you that night that i might do this but you still accepted me anyways and i'm grateful for that, i really am. Please take care of our daughter with the things I've left behind as i'm sure she will grow up to be as beautiful as you later in the future.

Sincerely, Your Love...'
