Chapter 125

**Igses Point of View**

"Devil, can't you just unsee it?"

"How can one unsee it when it is sticking out obviously?"

"Innore it."

"It's ignore. Noemi, it's not like I'm criticizing your taste but can you even see clearly what is in front of you?"

"You don't -"

"Alright, both of you. Stop quarreling. " Uncle Liam looked at us sternly and we immediately stopped chatting.

It's more like bickering.

I looked at Uncle Liam's hand that was holding my hand and his other hand holding Noemi's while leading us through his university blocks.

"If it was not for the hand leading Noemi, I doubt she would have the capability to walk without hurting herself. And it's all because of the think sitting on her head.

For some strange reason, she is wearing a hair band on the crown of her head with a huge decorative flower sitting in the middle of the hair band. The flower is so big that it's petals easily covered the upper half of her head.

I cannot even see the shadow of her eyes with the petals falling until they covered half the curve of her nose. If her face was any smaller, I have no doubt she wouldn't need a protective mask for her nose and mouth.

My doubt; however is, why does she want to torture herself?

It's not like she is guilty of something that she had to punish herself to get rid of it.

"Uncle Liam, do you have a girlfriend?" I asked after noticing two students hugging each other.

Uncle Liam is so gentle and handsome, so he must be very popular. "Not yet." Uncle answered with a small smile.

"I just want to tell you that you should not consider a girl with weird fashion sense like Noemi. Noemi can even act blind just to put a fake flower on her head. It's bad, uncle." What if Uncle Liam falls in love with a girl who is as crazy as Noemi?

Uncle Liam is so gentle and good, why should he suffer something like that?

"You Devil, wait until we are big, I will force you to marry me." I stumbled over my steps for the first time in my long years of life.

My head snapped towards my best friend and the glint of sadistic torturous promises was sparking in her eyes.

She means it!

She wants to marry me and make me watch her make a fashion terrorism spectacle out of herself.

This is worse than the thought of just marrying.

I coughed and cleared my throat, "No thank you. I can't be so lucky to be your walking stick in future." I mumbled enough for Uncle Liam and Noemi to hear it clearly.

While Uncle Liam roared into laughter, Noemi glared at me and showed me her fist, indicating that she is ready to hit me.

I only smiled at her and turned my head away not wanting to make her marriage resolution any firmer.

What if I really become her walking stick in future? No thank you! That girl knows a lot about me, when she grows up and perchance develops a bit of brain, I'm afraid she might even blackmail me with my secrets.

So this time, while walking through the long roads of the university, I was quite and observed everything around with great interest.

While walking, I could hear a few people commenting about how cute I and Noemi are and how they want to hug us.

With a small polite smile, I ignored them but on contrary, Noemi is basking in all the attention with open hands.

Literally!

Shaking my head at her usual overaction, I hesitated for a moment before I looked at Uncle Liam.

"Do you want to ask me something, champ?" He smiled down at me.

"Grandpa's boss is my father, right?" I asked. Although I know the answer, I still asked just to get a confirmation.

Uncle Liam suddenly stopped walking and looked down at me with a frown. I looked back at him with my clear determined eyes, he continued to stroll without giving me any answer.

However, a word to the wise is sufficient.

"Uncle Liam, I don't know what happened but I can tell that mamma suffered because of him. Then as mamma's daddy, why is grandpa still working for him?" I might not know what happened between mamma and that man but I do now know that the Winters' are mamma's real family.

Grandpa and grandma are mamma's real parents.

Uncle Liam is mamma's real brother.

But for some reason, they don't remember mamma. This is what I analyzed from what I heard bits and pieces from all the secrets discussions that happened the past few days.

"You know my dad is your mamma's dad?" He looked surprised by it.

I only shrugged and answered truthfully. "Of course. It's a little hard not to guess with everything going on and the obvious familiar features between all of you."

Although mamma made sure Aunt Viva take care of me, keeping me at distance when whatever situation that happened the past few days, I do have a basic idea of the things.

I am not a child now, although I don't have a guide to teach more about my unusual powers, I am flexible and creative in using what I have.

"You don't have to worry about adults issues. Your mamma's life is in you. So you should take good care of yourself and leave adults matters to us." This time, Uncle Liam stopped and got down on his one knee to give me a stern answer.

He is not the gentle uncle anymore at this point; he looked at me with a firm strict look and told me not to interfere anymore.

I heaved loudly and nodded, "Okay." Uncle finally smiled again and ruffed my hair before leading us inside a huge building.

Seems like something big really happened, mamma and everyone else doesn't want me in the middle of it.

Fine then. I will stay out of it until everything is in mamma's control. If something unpleasantly unexpected were to happen to mamma, I will have to take the matters into my own hands.

Mamma is my bottom line; that man or anyone else better pray they don't touch it.

We were soon brought to a reception table. Uncle Liam registered mine and Noemi's names in the visitors log and got us each a visitors tag. After hanging it around our neck, Uncle Liam took us to a big open area divided into many sports areas.

There is a basketball court, there is a soccer field, a tennis court, a track for runners, an area for archery and many more other outdoor sports.

Around the field are several steps of sitting stands enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

Looking at the small groups of audience and the athletes of different games getting ready to play, I got excited.

"Uncle Liam, everyone is playing now?" Noemi asked with obvious excitement.

"Hmm. The quarterly test is pre-poned so along with archery, other sports will take their tests too. It will take a while for the whole thing to complete, are you alright with that."

"Yes yes. This is going to be fun." I and Noemi are indeed best friend. Even our words and timing is so exactly the same.

"Alright. It's good that your grandma packed enough food and drinks for you both. Come let me take you to my friends."

Uncle Liam has seven friends for now, two of them are from the same archery team, one is a swimmer who is the second best in the whole university, two are from basketball team, one is from tennis team and the last is from ice hockey team.

I and Noemi are so happy to meet them. Although getting picked by them in arms is a little inconvenient for me, I still liked all of them.

We even met his coaches. They are strong and didn't smile at all. But they were gentle to me and Noemi.

When the coaches blew their whistle indicating for all the athletes to get to their stands, Uncle Liam took me and Noemi to the front rows of the audience stands. Uncle Liam stopped when they saw two girls and a boy, he smiled and settled me and Noemi beside them.

"Guys, I'll leave my nephew and his friend to you." The three guardians chuckled and nodded as they took our bags to hold.

"Champ, butterfly, this is my classmate, Jade, this is her friend Sienna and Sienna's boyfriend Draco. If you want something, tell Jade, okay?"

"Sure, Uncle Liam. Don't worry." I nodded and smiled at his friends with a wave. They waved back at me and pinched my cheeks.

"Draco Malboy?" Noemi gasped as she pointed a finger at Uncle Draco. She looked excited, surprised and most importantly, scared.

Aunt Jade and Aunt Sienna burst out into laughs while Uncle Draco chuckled and flicked Noemi's forehead gently.

"It's Malfoy, Noemi and he is not The Draco Malfoy!" I corrected her but seems like Uncle Draco did not get offended by her.

"You can call me Uncle Malboy then. You are so cute." Uncle Draco pinched Noemi's cheeks.

Uncle Liam went back to the seats allocated to the likes of him while I and Noemi truly enjoyed his friends company.

Aunt Jade and Aunt Sienna even arranged Noemi's head band neatly in a good fashion manner so that it even look beautiful and not fall on the face too.

I was so grateful to see the other half of her face for the first time today.

At least, she will not fall flat every time she took a step now.

Aunt Jade and Aunt Sienna are really good in styling hair even with such gaudy accessories.
