Gift

  Eve's POV

   I think this is official. Aiden will going to be our ride back home everyday. Even though he haven't say anything I know he is trying to earn good points from Amy. Oh well, if he only knows. I just chuckled from the side.

   My phone rings and took the call. It was a man. He told me that they can't keep my bike anymore and I need to get it now. I forgot all about it. Maya bought me a big bike for my seventeenth birthday. It was supposed to be ship to our house but that thing happened. I became silent after the phone call.

   "Eve, are you alright?". Amy asked and turned around to see me. She was sitting beside Aiden while he is driving.

   "Yeah, I'm cool!". I said with a smile but I know it didn't reach my eyes even though she can't see it I know she can feel it. Then I deeply sighed.

   "That's deep little girl". Colt said as he turned to my direction. I was sitting next beside him at the back.

   I didn't speak till we reach home.

   Dinner.

   "Something wrong sweetheart?".  Aunt Annalee asked in a worry.

   I just gave her a smile and shake my head.

   "You know, you can tell us anything we won't judge you". Uncle John said with a serious face.

   "Eve". Amy looked so worried about me. She held my hands and I almost cried.

   Aunt Annalee was stunned and hug me. "Sweetheart, tell us what is it.... Is there someone bothering you at school are you being bullied?".

   I just shook my head to all her questions. Like someone could actually bully me.

   "Tell us what is it?". Uncle John was serious.

    "My Mum". Everyone became silent. Hearing Maya's name is like blocking all the happiness around our family. "She bought me a gift for my seventeenth birthday before she....". I couldn't finish my sentence. I choked up.

   "It's okay sweetheart. We understand..... Ahm, this gift do you need to retrieve it or something?". Annalee asked.

  "Yeah". I simply said to her.

   "Then send it here, I'll asked the people in courier to put it in their priority list". Uncle John said while looking at me. My eyes grew wide in disbelief and a smile flashed from my lips.

   "Really?". I saw him nod. "Thank you, thank you so much... It's just a bike but it really is very special to me". I almost cried.

   "We know sweetheart". Annalee gave me a reassuring smile.

   'God I know I've been a bad person but still you gave me a good family. If you still want to punish me, please punish only me'. This is the first time I pray.

   I made a call to the company who will ship my bike and they told me that it will be deliver tomorrow. Nice.

🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧🦧

   I woke up feeling refresh as if nothing will make my day gloom.

I didn't run today instead I helped Aunt Annalee in the kitchen.

   "Well, someone woke up on the right side of the bed today?". She gave me a naughty grin.

  "And someone is still in their bed". I was talking about Amy.

   "Oh well, that little cousin of yours is not a morning person". She said then chuckled.

   I cooked the omelette and made our lunch pack. I made a vento very quickly and Aunt Annalee was impressed.

  "Where did you learned that?". She asked in amazement.

  "YouTube.... Mum don't usually cook so I need to learn so we won't starve to death". I jokingly said to her. Maya loves to eat but hated cooking. She can even burn a boiling egg when she cook.

   Aunt Annalee laughed then her eyes became misty. "That's our Maya". Her tone, she miss her a lot. Me too.

   Amy jumped out from the kitchen door and looked at the vento I made.

   "Wow!.... This looks good!". Her eyes are glistening like a child who just saw a beautiful drawing.

   "Don't touch that.... This ones for you". I handed her another lunch box and she squeal after opening it.

   "Mr. Teddy!". She looked at me with wide eyes. Pure happiness was on her face. "Thank you so much.....I will show this to Aiden!".

   "Oh no you don't... Give it back!".

   She quickly close the lid and put it on her backpack. "No it's mine!". And stick her tongue out like a five year old girl.

   We just laughed at her.

   Uncle John also received his lunch box and scratched his head after seeing whats inside of it. I made a panda for him. Aunt Annalee just laughed at him.

  "Eve". I heard Amy call my name as I put two lunch box to my bag.

   "Are you giving that to someone?". She asked.

   "Oh yeah, Emma... She treat us remember at least we could repay her with a lunch treat". I simply said to her.

   "Ahh, you're so sweet!". And Amy cling to my arm.

   "Oh please!". I pouted at her and she laughed.
