THE NANNY AFFAIR

Riya walks out and handed me two plane tickets, donning a huge smile on.

“What’s this! And why are you giving me plane tickets, I never told you I would be traveling?”. I said but got interrupted by Elena’s voice, she says, “oh come on, don’t act do stiff and besides Riya is just following my instructions, I believe it’s high te we all went for a family vacation!!”.

I veered and noticed the rather enthusiasm in her demeanor, what’s going on in her head? I asked myself.

“Erm!! Am sorry miss Elena but you guys can go for your family vacation, while I’ll stay back with my nanny and Sophia, bye!!”.

I attained my eyes and walked past without altering a single word, but got withheld when Sara blocked my path.

“Nanny!! What’s going on?” I whispered my words, as they all looked trying to listen.

Sara says, “Andres!! I feel it vacation is want we need to finally put Elena at her place, think about it!!”

Sara tried to make me understand the importance of accepting Elena’s invitation for a family funfair, or as they all called it vacation.

I waited for a second before retorting back my words to her, even though I feel not so convinced about Elena’s sudden desire to spend some quality time with her family, something must be cooking behind, I just have to find out, what is?.

Sara reinstated my eyes and pushed me to speak, “I accept the invitation, but when do we leave?”. I asked, “today, as in right now” Riya let out before someone else could, attaining my attention to her.

(A few hours later)

We all got dressed and rolled out suitcases downstairs to the living room, Sophia also decided to come with and I don’t think Riya was okay by that when she frowns at it.

“Okay then!! Let’s go”. Elena walks down and went further ambling closer to the front door, as we followed suit.

After a long time in the busy traffic at Elmore, finally we got to the airport, brought out our bags, and strolled in.

The air hostess showed my seat number to me and my chair was in the middle of Riya and Sophia.

“Hello, Andres!!” Sophia blabs out without thinking, veering Riya’s head to her, “what did you just call him? Who’s Andres?”. Suspiciously Riya asked waiting for a comeback.

Immediately Sophia retained her eyes and quietly rephrased her words, “huh!! Did I say, Andres! Who’s Andres, you did hear me well, Missy!!”.

Riya shoots me the same look, got up from her seat, and walked away without making a comeback.

“Phew” luckily she didn’t inquire more than that, is this just I, or I should be careful of Sophia as well? Almost exposed my real identity.

“Sorry Salem!! I almost made a huge mistake” she says in a sad and distant tone.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Sorry!!! Did you just say, you’re sorry, don’t be, actually it’s God’s way of telling me that my real identity will soon be exposed to Riya, but don’t know”.  I answered back, sitting next to her.

“Wait!! Are you telling me that, Riya doesn’t know anything about who you are?”.  My initial statement was copied back to me.

“Hmm!! Nothing” I said.

“How!! I don’t understand, didn’t you expose yourself at the press conference for the whole world to know, then how come Riya, don’t know a thing, it’s impossible!!” She gives a headcount before proceeding with her statement, “Salem, it’s either Riya she doesn’t know or she’s trying to act smart by lying to you”.

I ran balances on her statement, is Lia telling the truth, does Riya know who I am but decided to play the clueless game with me?.. why?
