章 121: Unveiling part of his story

•Arius [ 9 years old]

I always thought I was an ordinary boy, like any other. I thought I had a normal family, with me, my mother who stayed at home, my father who worked in another city and came home on his vacation and my soon to be born little sister.

My mom wanted to name her Canaria, derived from canary. She wanted Canaria to be free spirited and fly high in her life.

There was just one thing I found odd in our lives. I often spotted two men in black around the apartment. They felt so suspicious but they never did anything bad, they just stood there like guards.

I never really got why. When I told my mom about it she just brushed it off and said that if they weren't doing anything bad it shouldn't bother me.

It never crossed my mind that she might have known who they were all along.

After all, what could a child have known?

I was very happy with my life. It felt like nothing was missing in it.
