Chapter 36 - 36. Dave Is A Very Genius And Smart Boy
"Don't refuse Anna, I've been watching you for a while. Sit down and eat or I'll force you and feed you?"
"I can eat by myself," replied Anna, sitting back down and continuing to eat.
Until they finished, there was only silence. Nicho didn't dare to ask her anything anymore, afraid that he might offend her.
"Tomorrow I leave early in the morning, no need to make breakfast for me," said Nicho when he saw Anna starting to climb the stairs to her room on the second floor.
"Okay," replied Anna just glanced at him and then continued the steps that had been stopped.
.
.
Standing behind the half-opened window, letting the night breeze caress her long hair, trying to forget everything that happened that afternoon, but failed. Her mind and eyes refused to cooperate, keeping her awake.
Dave was asleep a few hours ago.
Heavy sighs could be heard escaping from between her lips. Even though she lives with Nicho, a man who always helps her selflessly, that doesn't mean Anna feels comfortable in that house. They had nothing relationship, and it felt like as time went on, what she was doing now wasn't right, especially if she just kept receiving money from the guy without trying to make any money herself.
Turned to her son with a sad look, "I'm sorry, son," she muttered.
Dave has grown up, maybe she should find her job so she can rent a house and live apart from Nicho? She had received too much help from him, and she did not want to continue in this house in this state. Living like a parasite like to have no shame, even though it's only felt by herself, but the feeling bothered her a lot and it felt very uncomfortable.
As the night wore on, having decided what to do next, Anna forced herself to sleep.
….
The morning before, when Anna woke up, by that time Nicho had already left, there was only her and Dave in the house.
"Dave, what are you doing honey?" asked Anna approaching her son who was sitting on the sofa with a picture paper in his hand.
Dave just handed the paper without making a sound, showing the picture there to Anna.
"Dave drew it?" asked Anna while looking at the three figures in the picture.
Dave just nodded in agreement. "This is Dave, Mom, and Uncle Nicho," he said pointing at the picture in a childlike style.
Hearing that, Anna smiled gently while stroking Dave's hair.
"If one day, we don't live in this house anymore, Dave, is that okay?"
"As long as I can continue to be with you, Mom," Dave replied shortly, nodding in agreement.
"Of course, son. Wherever you go, I will always be with you," Anna said then kissed her son's forehead and hugged him. Dave is a child who doesn't talk much, prefers to be quiet, and obeys his mother's wishes. Never once did the boy refute Anna's words.
At the age of approximately four years, Dave is a smart and genius child. He often does something and finishes it without asking for any help. Motor skills and the way he speaks are also beyond the age they should be. Maybe because of his father's genes? She didn't know, because from childhood until now Anna was not that smart.
Not only that, Dave never asked for anything that would trouble Anna, not once. Since he was three years old, Anna has taught Dave many things, assisted by Nicho, Dave has mastered many calculations, is fluent in reading even in several foreign languages, as well as the way he pronounces it, yes even though it still sounds not fluent but in his age is still counted as a toddler, this is already something extraordinary.
Dave preferred to stay in his room, reading some books that only a ten-year-old should understand. Anna was sometimes surprised by her son. Sometimes she felt strange and even doubted whether Dave was her son or not? Because her child's growth is very different from the age it should be.
Even though he was only four years old, Dave had a slightly different aura. Not only was there a lot of silence, but Anna's son was also very expressionless, so sometimes it's difficult for Nicho, isn't it, but even his mother also sometimes has a hard time guessing the contents of the child's thoughts and desires.
Weird isn't it? But that's the reality.
Until noon, after Anna finished all the housework, she only accompanied Dave in the living room, not accompanying him to play or watch cartoon scenes on television, but just sitting on the sofa, staring at the boy reading a book contained calculations in English.
Yes, Nicho often buys books for Dave.
Sometimes Anna feels grateful and not infrequently she is horrified to see her child's development.. If Dave is that smart at this age, what will happen when her son grows up.
