I am Raphael Smith, I have a twin brother named Gabriel Smith, and my mommy is named Sarah Smith. I'm happy with my family, even though my brother is a little annoying, but I love her. Likewise with Mommy. Mommy is the person I love the most in this world!
However… I thought that I was different from my friends because I had a twin brother, but…
There is something else that makes me different from my friends.
Our Daddy wasn't with us. I don't have daddy!
The first time I found out I was a little different was when Riel and I had to go to school. My other friends are sometimes picked up by grown men they call Daddy, but I don't have one.
I am different.
I finally asked Mommy about it. Why don't we have Daddy?
Mommy's face is a little different when I ask that, I don't know what it is but Mommy doesn't smile like she usually does.
Mommy then invited me to sit on the couch, and called Riel who was playing.
"You have Daddy! It's just that your Daddy is somewhere else! He is working there and will see you later!"
Mommy's smile returned when Mommy said that, but I could see that Mommy's eyes looked like they were about to cry. I'm confused. Is Mommy happy, or sad?
"Is our Daddy cool?"
I turned to Riel who suddenly asked that. I'm also a little curious. Do we have a cool Daddy?
"Yeah, Your Daddy are so cool!"
"Cooler than Batman?!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI turned back to my brother who was again asking stupid questions. How could anyone be cooler than Batman? Batman is the coolest person in this world!
"Yeah, your Daddy is cooler than Batman!"
My mouth opened when I heard Mommy's words, before finally smiling broadly as Riel was showing right now.
Our daddy is cooler than Batman!
I can't wait to meet him soon!
Will after I go to bed I will meet Daddy?
However, no matter how many times I went to bed, Daddy never came to see us. Mommy just said that one day Daddy will come, I don't know when, but I'm sure I will meet Daddy!
My days went by as usual while waiting for Daddy's arrival. Every time Riel and I came to Mommy's place of work, I kept staring at the man I met there. Maybe I can see Daddy there!
But again I have to be disappointed that I didn't find a man cooler than Batman. Our daddy isn't here!
"That doctor's name is Sarah."
I was going to the bathroom smiling when I heard someone who seemed to be talking about Mommy. Yes, Mommy is a doctor, and she often saves people's lives. Mommy is so cool!
"She is a single mother with twins!"
Single mother? What's that? I know that mother is Mommy, and single is one. But Mommy has me and Riel, we are two?
I finally asked my teacher what that meant when we were waiting for our nanny to pick us up. Riel was playing, so he didn't know that I asked our teacher that.
The expression on our teacher's face was a little different when he heard my question. It was similar to the expression on Mommy's face when I asked about Daddy.
"That means… your Mommy raised you all alone. So Raphael must listen to Mommy, and don't be fussy or cry! Your Mommy is so great!"
Ah… so that means single mother. Mommy raised us alone. Alright, I'll listen to Mommy and not cry anymore!

One day, I was going to the hospital toilet and suddenly heard a new word.
"That guy seduced doctor Sarah! But doctor Sarah doesn't seem to want to remarry!"
I walked over to the talking sister nurse and asked what they meant by seduce .
"Raphael! You're here!"
The expression on the nurse sister's face returned to the expressions on Mommy's and my teacher's faces.
"That…"
"That means that guy will take your Mommy away from you and Gabriel! You must protect your Mommy if any man comes near your Mommy!"
I turned to the other nurse sister. I don't really like her because she always pinches my cheeks and pisses me off.
But… What does seduce mean? A man will take Mommy from me and Riel?
I then asked further how I knew that the man was seduce with Mommy.
"If that guy looks at your Mommy with a loving gaze and smiles like this. That means he's seducing with your Mommy!" said the nurse sister giving an example.
I nodded my head when I heard that, trying to remember well what the nurse sister said.
I have to protect Mommy!

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, when I saw the man's face because he was tall and wore unusual clothes, the man was looking at Mommy with the look the nurse sister had said.
That man seduced Mommy!
"What are you looking at, old man?!" I said fiercely!
"Do you want to seduce my Mommy? We have a very cool Daddy and not as old as you. You don't stand a chance, old man! So go!"
I will not allow that old man to take Mommy from me! I hope if he finds out that we have a really cool Daddy, that guy will just go away and not seduce Mommy anymore.
I then turned to Riel, trying to send a signal for him to help me protect Mommy, and my brother did! He is indeed the best!
However, even though we had told him to go, the old man didn't leave. Riel finally cried because he didn't want Mommy to be taken by the old man.
I, who had promised not to cry again, finally cried with him. I don't want to lose Mommy!
The man finally left after we both cried.
That night, Mommy then explained that seduce wasn't like that. Looks like the nurse sister is teasing me again!
However, I had no idea that I would meet that man again when we were going to Mommy's hometown.
Why did that man go with us again? I admit he has a nice car, and he looks a little cool too, but… do we have to leave here because of him?
What if Daddy suddenly comes and we're not home?
I wanted to ask Mommy about it, but Mommy's face looked a little sad, so I couldn't ask it.
But… if one day Daddy came and we weren't home. It was this man's fault! Because of him I can't meet my Daddy!
I hate him!
