Chapter 51

• FLASH BACK:
• The snow was falling, it was a cold morning and little Gideon ran to the living room. He was the first to wake up that morning. Last night which was Christmas Eve, he had prayed to Santa to fix his family. Nanny Grace walked pass the living room and saw little Gideon admiring the well decorated Christmas tree. Poor Gideon she thought as there were no gifts below the giant Christmas tree. Mr. and Mrs. Romero could not get Christmas gifts for the boy? Little Gideon’s nanny Grace an elderly woman of about fifty asked herself. She went back to her room and came back hiding a package behind her. “Merry Christmas Romero junior.” She whispered from behind. He turned around, gave a cheerful smile and said “Merry Christmas Nanny.” He sat facing her. “I have a gift for you Romero.” She said handing him a small package. “I know its small but it will contain large beautiful things.” She had told him. “Don’t worry Romero. I am sure your parents have something special for you. Let them come down first.’ She assured the boy even though she wasn’t sure if his parents actually got something for him. “I don’t need any gift from them Nanny.” Little Gideon had told her. “I just wish mommy, daddy and I get to spend more time together and I hope they get to attend my school shows too. Santa will take care of that.” He confidently stated leaving his nanny marveling.
• And after Christmas, little Gideon was disappointed in Santa for failing to work the magic. His parents became more distant from him and he barely saw his father. When he had an Easter party at school, Gideon wasn’t sure whether his father would turn up but he was sure his mother would and she will admire him in his egg dress he thought. But none of them showed up except for Nanny Grace who came immediately after the play ended. When they got home, he confronted his mother trying to register his complaint but she screamed at his face yelling because she was pissed after the quarrel she had that day with his father and thus, he became a victim of transferred aggression that day. Gideon ran to his room and locked his door wetting his sheet with tears and after much plea from his nanny, he opened the door and she hugged him telling him everything will be fine but rather things became worse.
