We were standing in front of main door to enter but—
We pause in that area for thirty seconds.
In S - h - o -c - k… I was stunned by the place.
"Shoang, I am an adult can't you see." I replied—gently.
"Oh…hmm—you are an adult. Really." Shaong stared at me.
"How??" I was curious—"Why would I not be an adult."
"Because you are shorter and also your face is just like a high school student." Kai jumped into the conversation between Shaong and me.
"You are married." Soya again asked me and his eyelids drooped like a pup. (How can I refuse him?)
"Yes, Soya, I am married. And why did your face become pale." I press his cheek—gently.
"Cammon smile." I smiled at him.
Then others stare at me, "What is your age Minato san." Tian looked at me with passion.
"Tian bad manners, you should not ask the adults for their age, especially girls." I point at him—playfully.
"Please Minato san I am only asking you." He gave me puppy eyes.
"Okay—okay I am twenty one years old now, happy." I looked at them.
"You are twenty one years old." They ask me at the same time.
Their voices are echoing in my ears like a school bell.
They stared at me—suspeciously, "Your look doesn't match like an adult, so strange." Kai stared at me.
"Okay, now I want a snack right. I answer your every question in the house okay," I shift my body to carry Soya into a more comfortable way.
"Minato san why are you married?" Soya whispers in my ears.
I press my finger in his lips to shut for one minute.
"And you plan to only stare and don't want to go inside at all." I sulk—acting by the way.
(Minato knows if he doesn't shut them they ask him consistently without any break.)
In panic they agreed and smirked at me, "Okay, MInato san inside we gonna ask you too many questions you are going to die by giving our answers."
I nodded—smiled to see their smirks.
I open the door;
*CREAK…
I enter the door and Stand Soya to take my shoes off.
"Everyone take your shoes out." I command them.
They take off their shoes and Soya touches my hand and looks at me—trying to say can you grab my hand.
I grabbed his hand—gently—He smiled and his face lit up in seconds.
I take steps forward, "You can sit here." In the dining sector with a huge smile.
All quickly sat except Tian. He came to me and looked at me, "Can I help you, Minato san? Like I can tell what they prefer in snacks."
He asked me and squeezed my shirt sleeve—tightly.
"Okay Tian." I don't want to upset him because I don't want to refuse him and also I don't know what they like hm... snacks.
He nodded in excitement.
"So, Shaong likes cookies too much. When he comes into my house he always eats all of the others." He stared at me with a bright smile.
"Okay so Shaong likes cookies and which type he likes most I have every variety of cookies in my refrigerator."
He looked at me with more passionate eyes, "Hmm… The variety he likes most… Hm I think he likes Vegan sugar cookies."
"Okay, so next one hmm… Kai likes what he likes." I glanced at him.
"Oh~! Kai likes stuffed mushrooms and his favourite variety is… Hm… Keto—Hmm you have that variety of stuffed mushroom right Minato san."
I nodded and took it out from the drawer and put it on a plate and headed to take cookies from the refrigerator and take a big quantity of cookies and put them on the other plate.
"Okay, now Soya. what he likes, Tian." I rub his hair.
"Soya likes chocolate covered pretzels." He crossed his arm.
"Now it's my turn." A big smile on his face.
"I like dark chocolate truffles." He became impatient." MInato san you have right." His face became pale like If I don't have then what can he do.
But one thing he don't know I am also a eater as pig but He mention snacks I also like I always buy snacks every month with extra pack.
I nodded; Tian's face lit up and glanced at me—happily.
I again bent down and took the snacks out from the drawer. And put it on another plate.
"Can you help me to take it?" I looked at Tian who was in his own world.
He didn't answer, I hit him from behind—gently—playfully.
He looked at me with shock, "Why did you beat me, Minato san."
"Ohh You are in your own world first and ignore me." I hit him again.
"No—that's not fair you hit, but I was not daydreaming." He sulked.
"Okay—I am wrong. Can you help to take this to the table?" I whisper.
He nodded. He patiently waited to give him.
I arranged his plate with dark chocolate truffles and another plate for pretzels."
I give him stuffed mushrooms and a cookie plate in his both hands—trusting him to not make any mistake.
I take pretzels and truffles in my hand.
And steps toward the table where Shaong, Soya and Kai were gossiping about something private.
I snapped in between them.
"You know Minato san is shorter. I think in a few years I am going to be taller than him." Shaong mumbled in pride.
"I am not shorter." I shouted in between their discussion.
They jumped like a cat in shock and stared at me.
"When you come to Minato san." He whispered with hesitation and acted like nothing happened.
"Shaong, What are you trying to say? That I am shorter." I glared at him.
