Since Yanis and Gaitan had left, Brisa had been quite worried, and then a little regretful that she had been too inactive as a mother.
Evidently, she had argued with Yanis once that she thought Gaitan was so normal that there was something wrong with him, so why did she let Yanis date him?
As time passed, Brisa’s anxiety grew so much that she didn’t want to stay in the store and went out to look for her daughter.
Mateo looked at her uneasily and said something to her.
-What’s the matter? You have been agitated since your daughter went out, what’s wrong?
-Don’t you think there’s something wrong with that Gaitan?
-All right, why are you suspicious of people? What could be wrong with him? Didn’t he get along well with Yanis?
-It’s because there’s no problem, that’s why he’s suspicious, isn’t he? Think about it, when Cristina introduced people before, what time did she introduce a good one? This time I didn’t want to accept it. Anyway, we weren’t in a hurry to find a partner for our daughter, were we? But Yanis, this girl actually accepted a blind date.
-If she doesn’t want to get married, why did she accept a blind date?
Men’s minds could drive people crazy.
-Young people can’t understand such things, but why you can’t either. Yanis is your daughter, and this is how you treat her?
Mateo didn’t know what he had said wrong.
Brisa didn’t want to give him any more explanations and looked for her phone.
-I have to call her to find out what’s going on.
-My daughter is already an adult and has her own ideas, so don’t add to the mess by making her bother us.
-I’m not trying to cause trouble, I’m just worried about my daughter’s safety, I’m afraid that Gaitan will do something against Yanis, do you understand?
Hearing this, Mateo finally understood something.
-Wait, are you saying that Gaitan will hurt Yanis? What does that mean? Why would a good one do this?
-Didn’t you see Yanis’ expression when he came out? I think he just wanted to make up his mind to talk to Gaitan tonight and tell him the truth. Although Gaitan seems to be an outwardly polite person, there are too many masked people these days, and I’m thinking about Yanis’ safety.
As he spoke, the phone was dialed.
However, for a long time no one answered the phone.
-What’s going on? Why isn’t she answering the phone?
So Brisa called again, but there was still no answer.
-It can’t really be an accident, can it? -Mateo tensed.
Brisa’s face was pale as he kept calling her, but no one was answering.
-Quick, let’s call the police! -Mateo stood up and was about to leave, but Brisa pulled him back.
-Why are you calling the police? We don’t know what’s going on now, they can’t be far away, let’s close the store first and look for nearby restaurants.
-Okay.
Due to the special circumstances, the couple closed the store early and let the staff leave early, and were about to leave together when finally Brisa’s cell phone rang.
-Is that Yanis?
-Yes!” Brisa excitedly picked up the phone, “Yanis, what’s wrong? Is everything all right? Where are you? I’ve been calling you all day but you don’t answer.
Actually, Yanis had expected this moment when he saw the number of missed calls on his phone, and listened to Brisa finish her questions before speaking slowly.
-Mom, I’m fine…
Hearing that her daughter’s voice was normal, Brisa and Mateo were relieved at last.
-I’m glad you’re okay, you scared us to death. What’s the current situation? Where are you?
Yanis looked around for a moment and then bit his lower lip.
-I’m at a friend’s house.
-A friend’s house?
-Yes.
-Which friend’s?
-Dad, Mom, I’m not coming back tonight, I’ll be back tomorrow.
Mateo and Brisa looked at each other and both saw a dangerous look in the other’s eyes; their daughter looked normal, but said she was at a friend’s house and wouldn’t be back until tomorrow.
Brisa would love to tell her daughter, “wink if you get kidnapped.”
But now they were on the phone, and this exchange was totally inappropriate.
So Brisa thought about it and asked, “Daughter, didn’t you promise me that you would come back to the hometown with me tomorrow? Why don’t you come back so late? I’m worried, what if we miss the train tomorrow?
Yanis was a little confused.
-Mom, when did I say I wanted to come back to hometown with you? Y… where is the hometown?
-Silly girl, have you forgotten that we talked about this last night when we were sleeping together? It’s your grandmother’s house, she’s old and her legs aren’t well, and she had a fall two days ago, so we need to go back and take a look.
Yanis became more and more confused.
She and Brisa hadn’t slept together for a long time.
And most importantly, Grandma died a long time ago.
“Why did my mother suddenly say such strange things today?”
After a long pause for thought, Yanis suddenly came to her senses and finally realized what Brisa meant by this statement.
She felt a little helpless and could only explain in a low voice,
-Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine, and you should stop saying those weird things, I wasn’t kidnapped or threatened, Gaitan is not a good person, but he should be in the hospital by now.
-What? Did something really happen?
-Yes. -Yanis nodded and took a deep breath, his breath filled with the smell of Zain’s clothes.
The sharpness of the scent slowly calmed his frightened insides as he explained quietly,
-But I can’t explain clearly over the phone, so I’ll tell you tomorrow when I get back.
-What are you thinking, don’t you come home after something happens? How can we sleep peacefully tonight? Where are you now? No, you have to come back, tell us the address quickly, your father and I will come and pick you up.
-Mom and Dad, it’s really not necessary. I’m… I’m at Jack’s uncle’s…
