he smiled correcting me :
_good afternoon , miss Mina . I guess you never stop zoning out right ?
I laughed at his answer and then held the dish between my hands and said :
_ And you never forget what's your favorite client's order .
_ for sure ! my homemade pasta is always a cure to your exhaustion and I know you can't resist it especially while staring at your aquarium friends .
he laughed jokingly then I said :
_of course ! I can't imagine myself eating lunch at another restaurant around here especially that they all cook seafood only ...you're the only one to understand me uncle gee .
he then leaned closer and whispered while smirking :
_ of course ! I know that you hate eating your friends and so do I .
I always laugh when I come to uncle Gee , he just knows exactly how to make my day .
he is so kind and he treats me as his grand daughter and sometimes even as a daughter , and for me he is the father that I never enjoyed having , he understands me and make me feel comfortable that I even told him about everything I didn't say to grandmother , I don't even know what I would have done without him by my side .
i then grabbed the fork and tasted the pasta with satisfaction cleared on my face and Uncle gee noticed that so he said while leaving :
_I'll leave you then to enjoy your lunch .
I just nodded while putting a big amount of pasta inside my mouth . while laughing he was about to leave and then suddenly stopped to ask :
_By the way!! do you still hear those voices ?
I know exactly what he meant by voices because he knows everything about the weird nightmares and visions I have especially the whispers so i swallowed the past so fast and said correcting him :
_It's not clear voices Uncle Gee , they are almost whispers or lullabies as I like to call them .
_yeah I know , so are you still having them ?
I shook my head and said :
_it's been 2 months I guess since I last heard them .
he then just sighed and said :
you know ...it's okay . that's what happens to all the old souls here .
I lift a brow in confusion and as soon as he noticed my expression he said in a hurry :
_ never mind ! you'll figure it out yourself when it's time .
then I shook my head in disbelief and said in the disappointment :
_ why iam even here , in this world ?
he then said all of a sudden :
_your parents .....don't hate them ....
and before he could continue I knew what he was gonna say so I cut him off saying :
_ I don't .....I don't even care about them .
he just nodded and left to continue his job while I finished my dish of pasta .
after going back to the campus again I went directly to the library to meet my class group to work on our representation for next week .
the moment I entered the library I kept searching with my eyes for them and then I noticed a guy sitting alone in a table of about eight people and reading a book . I don't usually stare at guys whoever they are but something about him just told me he wasn't normal , his dark aura and deep sharp eyes kept me hanging in there for a while until a girl in our class group called my name while waving with her hand for me to notice and join them in the table .
