Chapter 53 - Western City

"Wow, such a sweet mother you had. That's fine, pretty girl. So, I think I can spend the night in your pretty bedroom tonight, right?"

[Mia giggles] "Yes, of course, Anna. That would be great and, you know, I won't even allow you to go and spend the night in my elder sister's bedroom or another room, Anna. "

"Oh, wow. But that will be some other time. If possible, Mia. Yeah, and I just want to talk about it with your mother all because I won't let you come back home when you visit me."

"Wow, that will be nice, but why are you going back home today, Anna?" [Mia sighs]

"Um, you know, I have to go back today and prepare something for your big brothers. Hope you know those boys, Mia?"

"Yeah, I have heard of Lefah and Garriso, but I have never set my eyes on seeing them before. And you know, I can't wait to meet them one day."

"Wow, that's great, my pretty kid. So, who told you about them, Mommy, or Amelia?"

"Um, both of them. I mean ma'am and Amelia told me about them. Like funny, shy, cutie, some swagger, and good boys too. Amelia made me wish to see them last night. Amelia told me a lot about them...."

"Oh, I see, that's okay. So, when will you come and see them home, Mia?"

"I don't really know Anna. Um, you know, ma'am won't allow me to step outside all alone unless I go with Amelia. So, I will talk to Amelia about this. If possible, next week."

"Okay, that's nice. And I can't wait to see my little girl home." [Miss Anna giggles]

[Mia giggles too] "Yeah and you know, I will be happy too, Miss Anna."

"Okay fine. But hey, don't call me Miss Anna again. Okay? Just call me Anna and I will also call you Mia."

"Hey, I'm sorry, Anna."

"That's fine, my love. So, let's talk about our lives so that we will get to know more about each other and that will be fun too. What do you think?"

"Um, yeah. And I would love to know more about you, Anna. "

[Both giggles]

"Oh, great. But hey, before that, I hope you're done clearing up here, right?"

"Yeah, I terminated some minutes ago before you came in, so let's talk, Anna."

"Okay fine. So, tell me. How is your life living? In school, home and the world."

"Wow, the last time I checked, it was Levi who asked me this kind of question. But you know, I gave him the wrong answer by explaining something different to him. So, why don't you be specific to me, Anna."

"Wow, such a brilliant little girl. Yeah, I think I should be specific and stop beating myself around the bush."

"Yeah, so what's your point, Anna?"

"Okay, fine. Just close your eyes and let me ask my question, little pretty."

"Hell, no Anna. Why should I close my eyes before?" [Mia smiles]

"Yeah, just do that immediately, Mia. And stop asking questions." [Miss Anna giggles]

[Mia snickers and closed her eyes] "Okay, you can ask your question now, Anna."

"Okay, my question is, who is your boyfriend and who, Levi?"

"Hell no! Anna" [Mia smile]

[Both Laughs]

[In the next section, Mrs. Madison was awake from her unconsciousness, and she was outside with Lefah and Garriso. They were having a walk in Lefah and Garriso's areas. "Western City, Old Street"]

[Both giggles]

"Hey, you really scared us when you were unconscious by the moment you saw our bedroom, Mrs. Madison."

"Oh, no, I was just kidding you boys just to see your reactions and, you know, I was just actually acting for you guys to know how crazy your bedroom looks like. Like a place where humans can never keep body and soul together. It made me understand that boys will forever be boys...."

"Hey, are you for real?"

"Yeah, for real boys. You boys have to clean up your bedroom every morning you wake up."

"Okay fine. We understand Mrs. Madison. You know, Miss Anna has also been complaining about cleaning our bedroom every morning. We are going to start tomorrow morning to do that always."

"Okay and that will be great. Hey, you're not talking, Garriso. What's wrong with you, darling?"

"Hey, nothing is wrong, Mrs. Madison. I got this, trust me." [Garriso giggles]

"Okay Mr. Garriso...." [Mrs. Madison smiles back at Garriso]

"Yeah, sure Mrs. Madison."

"So, where are you taking me to, my boys?" [Mrs. Madison smiles at them]

"Uh, nowhere, just showing you around our street. You know, our Old Street is not that big city, but we have nice places. Just that the street is dangerous at night..."

"Yeah, I know and everywhere is dangerous, but your place is more dangerous, like a lion kingdom..."

"You sound funny. Mrs. Madison. Why don't you shut up for us to show you around..."

"Oh, okay, then show me more young boys. But I don't know, it is like this place is no longer safe like the 90s. Just like a gangster city."

[Garriso snickers] "Yeah, Mrs. Madison. We live in a place full of gangsters. You are only safe in the morning but not at night. The night is really dangerous to walk around alone. The hot city we live in now."

"Oh, really?" [Mrs. Madison was wondering why it happened like that]

"Yes Mrs. Madison. The place of our native land is no longer like the 90s. People at death's door, breaking and entering, and you know, a lot of things happening. I was wondering whether the police or the government of the states don't care about us again, because I think the gangsters are taking over this Old Street. We are living in hell."

[Mrs. Madison sighs] "This reminds me of the 90s when my black American father was alive and strong. We were living here with my dad, but you know, it wasn't like today and yet still, my mom never liked it here. She always complained about our safety in the Western City. Um, you know, I never supported her idea, but I was too small to voice out...."
