chapter 6(edited)

Alan, who had spent most of the night taking care of his son Ethan, had finally woken up, he was lazy, he didn't want to get out of bed.

*Bostezo

"Well another day's work."

*Scalophria

"It sure is cold today."

With alán complaints, he got up from his son Ethan's bed, to change and go to help in the village, how difficult it was to be the village chief.

Because of the hard work of being the village chief, Alan stopped spending time with his son, but even so, Alan had no regrets, it was only a small sacrifice to keep his son safe.

"Alan good morning"

Once outside his house, he was greeted by the voice of his trusted friend Paul, his childhood friend and right-hand man, who had been by his side since he was a child.

Alan "How did it go Paul?"

Alan "How does your wife treat you?"

Paul "HA-HA.HA "*Rhetorical laughter*.

Paul "As usual, all ogra, makes me clean the house and take care of our kids."

Paul "Take care of them since I suffered and gave birth to them, now it's your turn."

Paul "Always the same phrase, to make me work overtime."

*tears*.

Alan "Come on Paul, how can you say that to your loving wife, I consider you lucky."

Paul "What! "

Paul, why are you siding with this demon?

Paul, I thought we were friends?

After the chattering and attempts to hide his laughter, Alan could no longer contain his laughter and turned away.

He didn't want to see his friend beaten up, by the angry wife who was listening to his tantrums.

Alan "well I'm leaving Paul"

I hope you make it out alive and goodbye Vanessa.

"What did you say?"

Now with sweat pouring down his back, Paul, like in a scary movie, turned to look behind him as he prayed to whatever gods would save him.

He was an atheist, but at times like these, Paul would prefer anything, even divine intervention.

* terrified smile

Paul "wife, I thought you were going off to talk to your girlfriends delighting them with your beautiful voice and your very interesting topics of conversation."

*Scary look

"With that I am an ogra, who does nothing but order you about, while I do nothing like a lazy bum."

"Well from now on, you will wash your clothes, sew your clothes, clean the house and take care of the babies, who you don't even take care of, since I have to take care of them and".

"It's clear!"

"Yes ma'am!"

Ha, and of course, you'll sleep on the couch.

As if a piece of candy had been taken away from him, Paul was sad and in tears.

It wasn't the lack of sex, which made him sad, since they stopped doing it since they had children.

In their part also, because of the high temperatures in the mountains, whenever they wanted to do it, it was like a bucket of cold water, which extinguished all passion to do it.

Although they were taking it up once a week or sometimes once a month.

But back to the subject, what saddened Paul, was sleeping on the couch, which his wife had asked him to repair, but so far, after several months he does not do.

The wood is almost broken, the fabric is shredded, but worst of all, the nails are badly placed, which make you feel uncomfortable.

Paul already slept once on that couch, it was excruciatingly painful and he suffered from back pain for several days because of sleeping on that couch, without the body heat of his wife, whom he hugs when he sleeps with her.

"Well I deserve it."

*sigh*

*laughs*

Paul "You weren't leaving! "

Paul complained, as he watched his friend Alan, who had not gone away watching the whole thing, as if it were a show.

"Alan come we need you!"

After the people called for help, Alan, who had been laughing at his friend's misfortune, was now running away.

Not before changing his face to one of sadness.

Alan "Really.....I'm lonely"

NO!

* blow*.

It's true I still have our son maria....

Alan "Fuck this is heavy!"

I'm coming, grumpy old man," complained Alan, as he went to help carry the harvested food from the greenhouses to the warehouse.

Alan "How are you doing with the old back pain?"

"You wish you were like me at my age, this old man still has life in his bones and will still live another generation, after all, I have to see if your son is qualified enough to be a leader unlike this cry baby he has for a father."

*sigh*

"How quickly time goes by alan, I still remember when you were a cry baby, although to this day you still are."

*laughs*

"But it was since your wife died that you changed, from a whiny, adventurous child, now you are a leader and father, but I want you to remember something alan."

"I hope you are more of a father than a leader."

"After all, you only have a certain amount of time to enter your son's life, as a father and I hope that by being busy you won't lose it and regret it, after all your son needs you more than ever now."

"I wasn't there for my son and it was too late when I realized it."

"I hope you don't go through the same thing."

Alan "Yeah I get it man, thanks for the advice."

"Well let's get to work, that these old bones won't do it all alone!"

After a chat between Alan and Austin, the old man who Alan considered like a father, they spent more than 3 hours working.

It was really hard, but thanks to a guy who helped them, they were able to finish.

Alan "We're finally done old man, I really think that pretty soon people will be calling me old man."

"You're complaining when he's barely 30 years old."

"I really don't know how you had a child at such a young age, young people today are really in a hurry."

Alan "Well, what can I tell you, I'm charming and intelligent."

"in your dreams, thank goodness your son got most of his traits from his mother."

*laughs*

Alan "Yes it's true, she really does look a lot like her mother, but that's also what worries me, she was very reckless, I hope my Ethan isn't the same"

Alan "I would really hate for him to get hurt, I really won't be able to live, if something were to happen to him."

Alan "Well thanks for the talk old man, but I'm off to help myself more, I really hope you do well."

*sigh*

"I hope you don't forget my words Alan, you are like a son to me and I would hate to see you suffer."

*Bostezo

Ethan "I really did sleep well..."

Ethan who had just woken up was going to the kitchen, he really had had a great dream.

He had not had any more nightmares, like the previous one that whatever it was still caused his back to feel shivers.

Ethan "Well, it looks like my dad's not here, so let's get breakfast ready."

There was nothing as usual in the kitchen, so Ethan had to go to the grocery store to get some eggs and potatoes, to have potatoes and eggs for breakfast.

The ride was quiet, if cold, but Ethan really got there fast.

Once inside the store, Ethan had ordered what he needed for his breakfast, so he headed home.

But once inside his house he found his two friends Richard and Sara, who were apparently waiting for him.

*sigh*

"This day will be a very long one.."
