This was Misha's first ti shopping for monthly basic necessities and he was unfamiliar with this activity, but that didn't an he didn't enjoy it. As long as it involved Kia and Mika, of course he would be able to enjoy it.
"Don't buy that much pudding," Kia protested, she glared at Misha who was about to put three boxes of Mika's favorite pudding in the cart.
"So what?" Misha brought his own trolley and was about to put three boxes of pudding in it and a few boxes of chocolate and so boxes of snacks that he thought Mika liked.
anwhile, their cute daughter was sitting in the trolley quietly watching Misha and Kia who had different opinions every step of the way.
"Where do you want to put the food boxes?" asked Kia in frustration, it seed like the differences in their economic life was so far apart and the concept of shopping in Misha's head really needed to be fixed.
If Kia only bought a few items to taste, then Misha would buy them in the number of boxes of these items.
"Of course in the refrigerator," said Misha in a matter of fact tone, he looked confused. Where else would he put these puddings?
Kia closed his eyes and Mika tilted her head, usually when it was like this, her mother was holding back her annoyance.
"How big do you think the fridge in my house is?" Kia grumbled. She was still trying to be patient, even though it felt like she was talking to an impudent five-year-old. "You've seen it yourself, haven't you? The refrigerator in my house can only fit a few things, not to ntion Keira's stuff. Where am I going to put all that stuff? You think I have a freezer room?"
Misha was silent for a mont, as if he had just rembered how small the refrigerator in Kia's apartnt was and what was more, she had to use it together with her roommate.
Actually the refrigerator was not too small and was of a standard size, but when compared to the Tordoff family's… of course it was very different.
"We can buy a new refrigerator," Misha said lightly. "Besides, the refrigerator in your apartnt looks old and unfit for use."
Looks old and unusable? From what angle could Misha say that when the refrigerator was still functioning so well?
"Where are you going to put a fridge bigger than that? The kitchen in my apartnt is too small to fit a bigger fridge," Kia grumbled.
"Then you can move to a bigger apartnt," Misha suggested. "We can find a bigger apartnt near where you work."
The place where Kia worked is downtown, which ant the apartnts around it were elite apartnts and so units, Kia was sure, were under the Tordoff family na.
"No," said Kia imdiately, without even thinking about it.
"Or can you move to my place? I will prepare a driver to chauffeur you around when you work," Misha suggested. He was following Kia from behind, pushing his trolley full of food boxes.
"No," said Kia firmly. How co soone who worked in a bar and restaurant had a driver to chauffeur them around?
"What if…" Misha didn't have ti to finish his sentence but, Kia had stopped her steps and Misha almost hit her with his trolley because he was walking right behind her.
"How about you put all the boxes where they belong?" said Kia. "I won't accept the food, you can buy it and take it back to your house."
Mika poked her head out of the trolley and looked at Misha who was speechless.
But, as if he was still trying to persuade Kia to change his mind, he then ran his trolley to the side of Kia's trolley and looked at Mika.
"You want this?" Misha asked, showing Mika the boxes in his trolley, but the little girl shook her head. She knew the assignnt. If Mommy said 'no', it ant she couldn't think about it either.
"You can't eat too much sweet, you'll have a hole in your teeth," said Mika innocently, as if she was advising Misha while patting the man's hand innocently.
"Now put the boxes back where they belong," Kia said in a firr voice.
Unable to deny nor give reasonable advice, defeatedly, Misha finally relented. "Okay." He then pushed the trolley back in the opposite direction to return all the boxes he had taken.
He was silent for a mont, he felt like a child being told to return the toy he wanted. He had seen a scene like this before.
anwhile, Kia pushed the trolley toward the milk section, because Mika's milk seed to be running out.
"Mika, what kind of milk do you want now?" Because Kia couldn't buy several flavors at once, so every ti she bought milk, she would ask Mika what flavored milk she wanted.
"Strawberry," replied Mika excitedly. She was very fond of strawberries recently.
"Okay," Kia said with a smile, she rubbed Mika's head and let her guard down a bit, barely noticing that another trolley was about to turn toward her from the rows of milk shelves. "Oh, sorry..." Kia said automatically.
"No, it's fine…" answered soone on the other side, but their expressions imdiately changed when they saw each other.
Kia looked pale when she saw the teenage girl in front of her and so did the teenager. She blinked her eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Sister Kia?" called the girl, she couldn't hide her surprise at all and went straight to Kia, while she couldn't dodge. "This is sis Kia, right?"
"You got the wrong person," Kia said quickly. She then took Mika from the trolley and held her by the hand, leaving the things she had chosen earlier, because the only thing she wanted to do now was get out of this place as soon as possible.
"There's no way I'm wrong," Alia said loudly, she then grabbed Kia's hand tightly, as if she wouldn't let go at all. "Kia why don't you co ho? You should know how worried father and mother and brother Daniel were when you left."
Kia didn't expect that today she would et Alia in this place. Who did she co with? Was she here alone? Kia frantically looked behind Alia, but she didn't see anyone. However, that didn't an it was only Alia she had to deal with. It could be that one of her family mbers might suddenly co looking for her.
"You can't be like that, we're family, why did you just leave?" asked Alia while crying, which only irritated Kia.
She couldn't help feeling this way and even more so because she knew that she shouldn't feel this way, she beca even more irritated.
It was not Alia's fault that she was sick and the whole family was worried about her and it was unfair if Kia blad her sister.
But, the more she felt unfair with the treatnt she received from his family because of Alia, the more she disliked this little sister and what was she saying now? They were worried? So, she was the bad guy for not contacting the family?
"You don't know what you're saying, Alia, now let go and pretend you never t here," Kia said. Just eting Alia was already overwhelming for her. She wouldn't be able to handle it if she had to et the rest of her family. "Now let go."
Kia tried to free herself from Alia's strong grip, but she couldn't do that, because it seed she was determined not to let her go until her fingernails stuck to Kia's skin, without Alia knowing she had hurt her.
However, what they both didn't realize was that the three-year-old child beside Kia had now left.
Mika had seen where Misha went to return the boxes of food and intended to go to him and ask for help because a stranger was tugging at her mother's hand and she didn't like it.
"Mommy!" Mika found Misha, who was putting the last box in its place. He was surprised when his daughter ca running to her.
"How did you get here?" said Misha confusedly. He then lifted Mika's body. His daughter frowned and she pointed in the direction she had co. "Where's Mommy?"
"There is a strange person pulling mommy's hand," Mika grumbled, she then grabbed Misha's hair so that he imdiately moved in the direction she was pointing, because Misha didn't walk and just stood there. "Mommy, co see mommy!"
Misha was surprised when his hair was pulled, it didn't hurt, but it showed how worried Mika was and the first person she turned to for help was himself.
And without waiting any longer, Misha imdiately rushed over to Kia. He thought at first that Kia was fighting with soone, but when he got closer, it turned out to be Alia and this made his brows furrow.
Why did they et Alia here?
"What is this?" Misha asked in a deep voice. He held Mika with one hand and pulled Kia to his side with the other, placing her behind his body.
On the other hand, because Alia was surprised to see Misha's figure, she imdiately removed her hand from Kia and widened her eyes.
"Mr. Tordoff, what are you doing here?" asked Alia in confusion.
But, it didn't stop there, from behind Kia, her father ca because he couldn't find his youngest daughter where he had left her.
