152 152. His Siblings
Samuel was surprised when two toddler boys invaded his room. The four-year-old twins ran fast and vied to hug their eldest brother.
“Samuel! I brought souvenirs from the Maldives!” said Leo, the green-eyed boy, while hugging a leg. “My souvenirs are great.”
“You will definitely like it!” Noah, the gray-eyed boy, was not to be outdone. He held up a small paper bag while hugging the other leg. “Mine is better than Leo! Small but nicer. You should join us, Sam! Maldives is warm and great. It was like summer.”
However, there was no response from the person they hugged. The twins made mistakes. What the two of them hugged was not Samuel’s leg, but Clara’s, making her cheeks flushed red.
“Leo, does Samuel have a soft ass?” asked Noah who felt strange. He squeezed the buttocks of the person he was hugging while frowning.
“Who knows? Usually, we can’t hold Samuel’s buttocks,” Leo replied. “Are we growing taller that fast? Is that because we went to a hotter place? Are we expanding?”
Noah and Leo squeezed Clara’s buttocks with their little hands while giving them questioning looks. “It feels nice, eh?” said Noah and Leo together.
Of course, this made Clara’s face redder with anger. When she was inflamed and about to throw a tantrum at the toddlers, Samuel, who had been sitting, immediately got up from the chair to approach the twins.
“Boys, it looks like you hugged the wrong person,” said Samuel, laughing.
.....
The toddlers turned around to find their older brother bending down to greet them. The twins looked at each other and looked up, facing Clara who was about to spit dragon fire from her mouth and nose.
Instantly, the children immediately let go of Clara’s legs and ran towards Samuel. “Oh, scary! We made mistakes!”
Noah and Leo hid behind their older brother’s back, covering their faces there. Occasionally, they peeked to make sure of Clara’s face. Then they hid again.
“Hey, you guys are being rude! Apologize to her. She is … my friend,” protested Samuel as he pulled the small arms of his twin brothers. Noah and Leo walked shyly to the front, then had to venture up to Clara.
“I’ll give the first one who apologizes to her … Uhm… maybe ice cream as a gift,” Samuel persuaded again. Wonderful! The two of them then walked quickly toward Clara.
“Forgive me, miss! I didn’t expect that my brother’s friend was in the room,” Leo said, starting to apologize.
“Miss, I’m sorry too! I thought Leo hugged the right person,” Noah blamed his brother. “Oh, I wasn’t the first,” he whispered disappointedly as he pursed his lips.
The cute behavior of the twin boys amused Clara. Her anger evaporated. She then bent down to greet the two adorable boys. With a sincere smile, of course.
“No problem! However, next time you guys need to be careful, okay? What you did earlier could make a woman angry,” Clara said while stroking the heads of the twin toddlers together.
The twins nodded while looking at Clara with their round and clear eyes. “Forgive us, please! We know that you are kind.”
Clara pursed her lips, pretending to object. She then said, “As long as you two give me a peck on the cheek, I’ll forgive both of you.”
The two then looked at each other, doubtfully. They never kissed a girl because their mother forbade them. Only family should be treated like that.
“Whoever kisses my cheek first gets ice cream,” Clara coaxed as she felt rejected.
Of course, Noah, who didn’t get ice cream from Samuel earlier, immediately kissed Clara’s right cheek. He then cheered excitedly, “Hooray! I got ice cream too!”
Clara laughed at the cuteness of Samuel’s twin brothers. She then pulled them both into her arms.
“Ah, you two are so cute,” Clara said as she hugged them fondly. “I’m Clara. And you?”
“I’m Leo!” replied the green-eyed boy. Clara admired Leo, imagining little Samuel as a small kid, in her arms, hugging her dearly.
“I’m Noah!” replied the gray-eyed boy, who looked like his mother. He smiled sweetly at Clara, either because it was friendly or because he was going to get ice cream from her.
Samuel’s heart, which had been cloudy because of the unpleasant conversation with Clara, suddenly turned warm. He stared fixedly at the woman who had a gloomy face, joking freely with the twins like there was no burden. Clara’s sadness seemed to disappear, making a smile etched on Samuel’s face.
“Noah, Leo!” Suddenly, Sofia entered Samuel’s room in a panic. “Good grief! you guys! I told you not to go to Samuel’s room!”
Sofia immediately approached the twins and patted their bottoms. Both of them screamed in unison. “Forgive them, Clara! Are they bothering you?” Sofia asked guiltily.
“No, they’re funny,” Clara replied with a laugh.
Feeling flattered, the twins, who had been shy, now approached Clara and hugged her tightly.
“Miss Clara is nice,” said Noah while embracing Clara’s neck.
“Sofia is scary!” Leo said, imitating Noah’s movements, embracing Clara, and moving away from Sofia.
“You guys! How dare makes fun of me. Don’t expect you to get chocolate candy from me again,” Sofia threatened angrily.
The atmosphere became very noisy. Especially after four of Samuel’s other siblings came into the room. Everyone wanted to ‘play’ and get involved in the chaos in the eldest son’s room.
“Sofia, why are Mom and Dad already home? You said they’d be home Wednesday?” asked Samuel in a whisper in Sofia’s ear. His eyes were still looking at his younger siblings who were circling Clara like kindergartners and their teacher. Or maybe, Snow White and the dwarves.
“Mom said dad had to come home because there was something … very important,” Sofia whispered. “I don’t understand the details. What’s clear is that dad has to go to the office this afternoon.”
It was then, the person in question suddenly got behind them and interrupted in between Samuel and Sofia, “Your dad has an urgent meeting this afternoon. So, we have to go home soon. Do you mind being caught bringing a guest over?”
