"Yo, come down, bro. And you shouldn't be clamorous-- and you don't have to get angry about this little shit, bro."
"Just look at you. Stop clamoring like I'm a mad person, right? Hey, I love you, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you, bro. So, why are you doing this to me? Just tell me the problem, and we will find a solution together. That's all, bro."
"Hey, that's fine, Garriso. Like the thing is-- I'm still overthinking madly about my dad, bro. See, I have been trying to get this bullshit out of my head, but I can't nigger." [Lefah sighs]
"Yo, my man. Like are you for real?"
[Lefah shouted at Garriso and tears started running down his cheeks. Typically, as an expression of distress, pain, or sorrow]
"Yeah, Garriso. Like, I still don't get why my dad did all that shit to Miss Anna. Hey, just tell me, are you happy to see-- how my old lady is struggling to make things right for us? Hey, tell me?"
"Yes bro, I am really OK and very happy to see it like this-- because there's nothing wrong when daddy is not home, and mommy is trying to make things right for her kids to feel happy. You got it,"
"Oooh, really? And is that how you see the picture? Like there's nothing wrong when daddy is not home, and mommy is trying to make her son feel happy. Like, can you hear yourself, bro?" [Lefah was still crying like a baby since he was worried about his dad]
Garriso sighs and said, "Hey! ---will you come down, my man...."
"Hey, Garriso, I'll come down for you to say that bullshit you just said again, bro. Like just put yourself in my shoes and feel a little bit of me and see, Garriso."
Garriso was also shouting at Lefah and said, "Yeah, and for real, that's what I have been trying and doing all these years-- just to make you feel happy, my man. Can't you see it? And why am I always saying I'm the big brother? What a big brother always does, is to let his little brother feel happy and that's all, bro. Or am not making you happy, just tell me, and I will get all shit and get out of your house since we are no more boys, you feel me?"
"Hey, stop it, my man. Like for real, you really got this shit, you always make me happy and always got my fucking back. You're always with me and I really appreciate you, bro. But for how long are you going to take the responsibility for my fucking dad, to making me happy always, Garriso? Tell me. This is life, and life keeps changing all day and every night. So, what if life makes me lose you one day? And do you think I'll be happy again?"
"Hey, my man. Hey, see ---let me tell you this real shit to put in head. Let life bring whatever it takes to come, bro. Like all the challenges, all the difficulties, and I promise, I'll always be with you, Lefah. I have nowhere to go without you, and don't forget that bro."
Lefah was tears of joy about what Garriso said and responds to him by saying, "Hey, I understand that you can promise me about this, bro. But I need my father, my happy mother, like my old family back."
"Yeah, and I do understand you, bro. Hey, listening to me. Your mother, my family, and I, are the only family you had all these years and nobody else. So, what family again do you really want, Lefah?" [Garriso smiles back at Lefah]
[Lefah sighs.] "Hey, you won't understand this whole thing, Garriso."
"Yeah, and I won't understand you because you are misunderstanding me here, Lefah. Hey, just listen to me. Miss Anna and my family really love you so much, and we're going to do everything it takes to make you happy. And hey, without your response-- you know, it can't work, bro. So, why don't you respond to it positively so that we do it together, bro."
"Hey, I am trying to get over all that bullshit, but it's not working how I want it, bro."
[Garriso sighs] "Hey, my man. Don't worry about what's past and gone. Let's forget about it and focus on us playing. Hey, you can make your ma'am a happy person again, if only you will listen to me, bro. Hey, stop crying and clean your ugly face before I called those kids to come and look at the old man-- crying like a baby."
Lefah smiles at Garriso's jokes and said, "Hey, Garriso. Thank you so much, and I fucking love you, bro."
"Hey, I love you more than you love me, Lefah. Let's get inside before Miss Anna starts calling our phone, because we're really late home, bro."
"Okay, Garriso."
[Both hugs]
"Hey, wait a minute, don't forget I always get your back, Lefah." [Garriso smiles at Lefah]
"Thanks, bro." [Lefah smiles back at Garriso]
[Door opens and closes]
[When Garriso and Lefah opened the living room door and got inside, Miss Anna walked immediately and had her seat down on the living room sofa not knowing she heard Lefah and Garriso's argument outside]
"Hey, mom. What's wrong, hope you're good?" [Lefah continues immediately they got the living room because he didn't see Miss Anna happy]
[Miss Anna sighs and continues immediately and clean her tears, pretending she is OK] "Yeah, my love. I'm good and nothing is wrong, trust me darling. " [Miss Anna smiles at Lefah and didn't want Lefah to see her worried]
"Hey, I don't think so, mom. Because your facial expression shows you're not good ma'am."
"Yo, bro, ooo. You heard her right-- so why don't you allow her to be, my man." [Garriso continues immediately]
"Yeah, Garriso is right, my love. I got this, so don't worry about mommy. I think you were supposed to kiss me when you came in, but you didn't. And you were busy asking questions. What are you waiting for, kid?"
"Okay, ma'am. Am sorry. " [Lefah kisses his mother on her cheek --just to greet her]
"Mm-hmm, Hey --- you --- Garriso, come and kiss your old lady." [Miss Anna smiles at Garriso and ask him to come and kiss her unlike Lefah did]
"Oh, nooo, Miss Anna. I am cool please --- by the way, good evening, our sweet mother." [Garriso smiles back at Miss Anna, and he didn't want to kiss her because he was shy]
"Hey, will you shut up and run here to kiss your Mama? [Miss Anna continues immediately and still wanted Garriso to come and kiss her]
[Lefah snickers and he didn't and step back]
Lefah smiles at Miss Anna and said, "Hey, mom. Why don't you let him be? You know, Garriso is shy and also not good enough on kissing. So let that kid be, please."
Garriso continues immediately and said, "Hey, thanks for saving my ass nigger...."
"Oh, really? Okay, and you guys are late today. What happened, kids?" [Miss Anna continues immediately and changed the topic since Garriso didn't want to kiss her]
"Sorry, Miss Anna -- we were-- doing something outside after school today, please. You know, that was just boys, boys, chat. So, no need to tell you about it, old lady, -- and try to understand this, please." [Garriso continues immediately and smiles at Miss Anna]
"Yeah, ma'am. That was boys chat, and we can't tell you, please." [Lefah smiles at Miss Anna]
"Oh, really? So, tell me -- since when did you guys start hiding something from your mother? Hey, hope you're not following those area girls around?"
[Both laughter]
"No, no, no, mom..." [Lefah continues immediately]
"Hmm, okay, and good for you kids. Hey, so --how was school today, boys?"
