Chapter 61 - I'm Sorry Ma'am

Lefah hugs Miss Anna and said, "Hey, I'm really sorry about this, and I promise it won't happen again ma'am...." [Lefah sighs]

"Hey, don't worry son. This is not your fault, darling. Hey, just look at my face. Mommy is Ok, trust me." [Miss Anna sighs and kisses Lefah's forehead]

"Okay, ma'am...."

[Garriso also continues immediately and apologies to Miss Anna about what just happened.]

"We are sorry, Miss Anna. But hey, things like this, you have to call our phone fast or call the police before you get hit by those bad gangsters." [Garriso sighs]

"Okay boys, I understand, but I wanted to handle them by myself, and I also wanted not to bother you boys. Um, you know, ma'am is such a strong woman enough, and I can handle this kind of situation..." [Miss Anna smiles at them]

[Both giggles and hugs]

"Yeah, I know the strongest woman we ever had, always strong enough to stand against trouble and never accept defeat. But you should be careful, Miss Anna."

"Hey, that's fine, boys. So, where have you been all this while, my young boys? Now explain yourselves to me..."

"Um, you know. Mrs. Madison came home to see you home, but you weren't around by then but Miss Sophia's house."

"Oh, I see. And what happened next? I need more explanation..."

"Hmm, we were having a walk with her outside ma'am." [Lefah giggles]

"That's fine because I saw her car picking outside, but you people were nowhere to be found. Uh, so tell me, where have been with your principal?"

"Um, just outside having a walk with her. But hey, ma'am. Did you know Mrs. Madison was born in this city?"

"Yeah, my love. She told me about it the last time she came here, but you know, that was many years they left, so I couldn't even read it to her family well..."

"Oh, okay, and it's not your fault, because even Grandma Maya couldn't remember her and the family." [Garriso continues immediately]

"Wow, so how did Grandma Maya know about Mrs. Madison, Garriso?" [Miss Anna giggles]

[Garriso giggles back and responds to Miss Anna] "We are just coming from her place. Uh, you know, Mrs. Madison wanted to meet her immediately. We mentioned Grandma Maya, so we take her to see her before she left home..."

"Oh, okay and that's great. So, why did she leave? Because I don't see it being too early for her to leave home normally, she visits..."

"Yeah, you're right, ma'am. But she said a friend is waiting home for an important meeting. That's why she left home..."

"Yeah, for sure, Miss Anna. That's exactly what she told us before leaving home. Immediately, we walked outside from Grandma Maya's house..."

"Um, okay. That's fine and, you know, because of those gangsters, I wasn't able to finish what I was preparing in the kitchen, so let me go and continue my cooking. After that, we will talk..."

[Both giggles] "Okay, Miss Anna."

"Hey, don't you need any help, like cutting vegetables or cleaning? We can help Miss Anna." [Garriso continues]

"Hey, hope you boys are not up to something different this time. Because the last time I checked, none of you had said anything like this before. So, what do you boys really want from me, crazy kids?" [Miss Anna smiles at them]

"Hey, we are just trying to help our mother in the kitchen to prepare the food this time. Yeah, we want to learn how to cook, ma'am."

"Hell no! ---so, are you trying to tell your ma'am that you boys don't know how to cook all this while?" [Miss Anna smiles, and she was trying to make fun of Lefah and Garriso about what Lefah said]

"Hey, not that, Miss Anna. We really know how to cook but just want to help you out this time. But you know, that's fine, we got this...."

"Oh, no way! Garriso. We boys should follow me to the kitchen now. I have to teach you and your brother how to cook before you disgrace me outside." [Miss Anna was trying to tease them just to reply to their own words]

"I think you should leave us alone now, Miss Anna. Just go and check in there. I think there's something wrong in the kitchen, ma'am."

"Oh, really, why are you trying to run away from this chat, young man? Hey, you know something, I'm going to set you free today, but we'll cook together tomorrow evening. Am I clear enough for your hearing?"

[Both] "Okay, Miss Cooker…"

"Very good..." [Miss Anna giggles at them]

"Hey, that's fine and stop laughing at us, Miss. And it's not what you think, ma'am."

"Hey, bro. It's what she thinks. Of course, we don't know how to cook because she never allowed us to cook or teach us, and this is the right time for us to learn how to cook, bro. Yeah, and I think Miss Anna is right, my man." [Garriso giggles and said the truth to Miss Anna]

[Both giggles]

"Hey, thank you for telling me and I will do that for you, my lovely boys. See you after cooking. Just give me 4---5 minutes. Food will be ready."

[Both] "Okay, Miss Anna…"

[After the chat, Lefah got to know. Miss Anna was really happy and smiling. So, Lefah apologized to Miss Anna about what happened some minutes ago between them and Homie Gee and his gangsters.]

"But hey, we are really sorry about what happened, ma'am, and it won't happen again." [Lefah sighs]

"Hey, that's fine, my dear boys. This is not your fault, darling, so stop blaming yourselves for this. Okay?"

[Both] "Hmm, okay Miss..."

"Hey, you boys should trust me. I'm good, but all that I want you to do is to stay careful with those gangsters on the street..."

[Both] "Okay, Miss Anna..."

"Okay, and okay Miss Cooker. We will be waiting for our food please." [Lefah giggles]
