This choice: Decide to give Anna a chance and try calling her mom. • Go Back...Chapter #3Decide to give Anna a chance and try calling he... by: AridWD   You stare at Anna for a while, taking her rather beautiful appearance and busty endowments. It's enough for you to blush a little and turn away.
Taking a deep breath, you then glance at your father, someone who does his best to support you. Honestly, he can be called the best dad in the world. Right now, everything he has done is for your sake and that includes the purchase of this android.
'What...am I doing? Shouldn't I give her a chance for my dad's sake?' you think.
It's the truth that...you miss your mother. You want someone who would be able to support you along with your father. Someone that would hug you when you were feeling down and give you advice when you need it.
The question is...could an android really fulfill that role?
Right now, you couldn't know but you do know that it wouldn't be right to reject a present from your father, no matter how crazy it is. Rejecting Anna would be like slapping your father in the face, something of which you don't want to do.
So, giving this android a chance is really all you could try.
"Alright, dad. I'll give...Anna...no, mom a chance."
Glancing at Anna, you see a small smile on the woman's lips.
"Thank you, Derick," she says, nodding, "...I will prove to you that I can be the best mother you ever need."
You look away, embarrassed. "Uh...yeah."
Derick lets out a relieved breath and smile, then slaps your back and gives you a one-arm hug. You can hear his voice crack as he tries to control his emotions. It's clear this wasn't an easy purchase for him either.
"S-son, thank you. I...I know this is strange and it may not even be perfect. I...I just don't want you to think this is a slap to Alicia's face. I'm hoping that this gives you and I a chance to move forward, that's all."
"Dad..."
You hug him back, trying to hold the tears. After a few seconds, you step back and let out a heavy breath. Then, you face Anna who keeps her distance, not wanting to ruin the father-son moment.
"Anna, I mean-mom...damn it, this is going to be strange for me..."
Anna draws a little closer, hesitates for a bit, but then places a comforting hand on your shoulder with a warm smile on her face.
"Andrew, please do not force yourself. Admittedly, I'm in the process of learning, so...I'm afraid it will take a while for me to become a proper mother figure for you."
"A-ah, I guess that makes sense. I mean, we're basically strangers right now."
Anna cocks her head, curling her lips. It seems she can express some form of uncertainty in a realistic way. "That may be so, but...let me ask, do you want me to do anything for you?"
You are surprised by the offer. At the moment, do you want anything?   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
