Biting her lower lip, aunt Liza vigorously shook her head. "I-I don't know."
"Uncle Jackie, what are you doing here? I mean didn't you leave the banquet early yesterday?" Silvia asked. She was kinda sober when Uncle Jackie left after bidding everyone goodbye.
"Uhh-I-" Jackie was in loss of words. He didn't find a reasonable reason to reason out what he was doing here near the elevator with Liza who had his blazer wrapped around her.
"Yeah and I thought aunt Liza left along with brother Matthew and the kids."
"I-" Liza felt short or words too. And they were small kids whom they could deceive with using some words. They were grown up a.d.u.l.ts and they would definitely figure out everything.
Janet raised her eyebrows and pouted her lips when both of them did not say anything but kept on glancing at each other. "Uh, are you both together?"
*DING*
Just then the elevator door opened. Quickly stepping into the elevator, Liza and Jackie gestured the kids to hop in.
….
Inside the elevator.
"Aunt, why are you wearing Uncle Jackie's blazer?" Janet asked.
"She was feeling cold." When Jackie answered for Liza, Janet smiled and nodded her head. "Oh,I see."
Silvia frowned when she saw something on Jackie's neck. "Uncle Jack, there is something in your neck." Without waiting for his reply, Silvia extended her hand to see through properly and when she saw scratch marks, she frowned deeper and asked, "Oh my God who scratched you?"
When Janet, Rocky and Kevin grinned while looking at aunt Liza, Silvia quickly let go of uncle Jackie's collar and awkwardly cleared her throat. "Oh."
Aunt Liza's and uncle Jackie's face turned red in embarrassment while the four of them were having a hard time controlling their squeals and screams, especially Janet and Silvia.
As soon as the elevator door opened in the lobby, Liza and Jackie stepped out as quickly as they could.
…..
Outside.
Taking out his car keys from his pocket, Rocky turned towards Liza and asked, "Aunt Liza, you are going with us-ouch."
When Janet pinched his waist, Rocky winced in pain. Glaring at her stupid boyfriend, Janet gestured him to stay shut.
"Ahh we are going somewhere else so can Uncle please drop aunt home?" Janet asked.
Jackie nodded his head and smiled, "Sure, there is a problem in that."
"Ah Jan, what are you talking about? Surely there wouldn't be any problem. Right uncle Jack?" Silvia asked.
Uncle Jackie slowly nodded his head and gave them a weak smile.
"Aunt you are going home or-"
Cutting Janet off, Aunt Liza said, "I-I'll go home."
"Oh okay then, I'll see you there."
After Liza and Jackie left, Silvia and Janet squealed in excitement.
"Oh my God did they?"
Janet vigorously nodded her head and squealed harder. "Oh my God, I cannot believe this actually happened."
"Alright girls, let's go home otherwise you'll be late for your meeting." Rocky reminded the two over excited girls.
...
Hospital.
When Janet, Silvia and Ron arrived at the hospital, everyone quickly approached them.
"Silvia, congratulations. I didn't know your husband was Kevin Austin." One of her colleagues excited congratulations to her followed by another.
"And Jan, Jacob Wilson? Ahhhh you gotta nice one this time."
Janet smiled and reluctantly stuck out her thumb.
"Alright, let's go for the meeting." Guiding the two girls out of the crowd, Ron was about to say something when Silvia started walking towards some other direction.
Stopping right in front of a fellow nurse who was holding a cute little boy's hand, Silvia asked, "Is he your son?"
"No, I am not yet married. Actually we don't know who he is. He has been sitting outside the hospital since morning. The guards complained and now I am taking him to the kids care sections." The woman explained.
"Oh, why don't you ask him where his parents are?" Silvia asked.
"Well, that was the first thing the guards did and also the first thing I did but he doesn't say anything. So the chief has informed the police, they will be here any minute now."
Squatting down, Silvia caressed the little boy's cheeks and smiled. "Hey little one, you are so cute."
Looking at Silvia with his big round blue eyes, when the boy placed his hand on her cheek, Silvia was taken aback.
The little boy's eyes were like deep blue oceans which wanted to tell her something but she couldn't figure it out and that was making Silvia feel uncomfortable and uneasy from within.
Leaning forward, the little boy whispered, "Go away."
Silvia frowned and was about to ask something when Ron rapped her shoudler. "Hello, we gotta go."
Silvia nodded her head and reluctantly got up. "You are taking him to the kids care section?"
When the woman nodded her head, Silvia added, "Let me know what happens okay?"
"Yeah sure, I'll get going now."
After the woman left along with the little boy, Silvia felt uneasy and disturbed. Why did he ask her to go away? Is there something that the little one knows? Is something going to happen? Or was she just overthinking?"
"Sil? What happened?" Janet asked.
Pushing everything to the back of her head, Silvia shook her head and left along with Ron and Janet for the meeting.
…..
Meeting room.
"This is so boring." Janet whispered.
"I don't understand, this is what they call an emergency meeting? To talk about some crappy organisation to want to do a survey on us? This is utter bullshit." Ron gritted his teeth in annoyance.
While the two of them were continuously grumbling and complaining, Silvia couldn't take that little boy and what he said out of her head.
"Sil, what happened?" Janet asked.
"Yeah, what are you thinking about?" Ron asked.
When Silvia sighed and shook her head, Janet was about to say something when the fire alarm started ringing causing a panic and chaos inside the meeting room.
"There is a fire on the third floor everyone quick, leave the building." Someone shouted.
