That Doctor Is Mine

He was too young to be interested in his books.

“Hey!” I tried to call his attention. He looked up. He just stared at me innocently. I approached him and sat down to watch.

I was mesmerized by his eyes because we have the same eye color.

“How old are you?” I ask because I’m curious about the child’s ability to read that kind of book.

“I’m already five.” Child’s answer.

I was a little surprised because he was younger than I thought.

“Why are you reading that kind of book instead of some children’s book?” I ask. This boy looks English so I spoke straight English.

“I don’t know. I just love reading this kind of books.” He said and turned the page of the book he was holding.

“It was build by Sakakibara Kikai Company.” I said and referred to the largest humanoid vehicle. He turned to me like an innocent child who did not yet know what I was saying. I looked at him and continued what I was saying. “That was verified by Kitagunma, Gunma, Japan last December 2018. It’s name is Mononofu, meaning ‘samurai warrior’ in Japanese.” I smiled as I told him what I remembered from what I had read.

“You also like reading this?” He asked like he was amazed by what I knew. I nodded like a child.

“When I was, I think 9, I started reading World Records.” My storytelling.

What I said is true. I was young when I read such things. But I still think differently about this child. I’m feeling he’s brilliant. Prodigy ata.

Children at his age are supposed to read children books like mickey mouse, mga ganon. But he is different, he likes reading some adult books.

“So have you already read this?” He ask me.

“Uhuh!” I said.

“Really?” He asks again. I nod as if I was talking to a friend.

“Can you suggest some of nice books you have read?” He asked as if his eyes were twinkling.

“Sure. But …” I looked around him. “Is someone watching over you?” I asked when I noticed he was the only one here.

He looked around then at me.

“I think, I was lost.” He just said like it isn’t a big deal.

Nakuuu kang bata ka! It’s even gone!

“Who’s with you?” I ask and held him on his shoulder.

“I’m with my nanny. Anyways, don’t worry, I know my nanny knows where to find me.” He said as if he just didn’t care.

I looked at him in surprise.

“She knows that I will only be in the bookstore or in the playstation. So she’ll find me.” He said and pulled me away. I drifted with this twenty -year -old boy.

“Ok. I’ll help you find books to read and we’ll find your nanny after.” I said. He nodded so I just went with him.

I will just pray that he will not accuse me of kidnapping.

“How about this?” I asked him once to show me a thin book. It is all about technology.

“Ayy no. Maybe, this is too heavy for you …”

“No, no, no. I like that. I like everything about technology.” He stopped me when I returned the book I got so I frowned again.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Really? For a five-year old boy?

“Oh?”

“Yeah. I want to build a technological company someday.” He said so I was even more amazed.

At his age, he already knows what he wants to be in the future.

“Really? I already have a company, but we’re not about technology?” I said.

“I know. It’s kind’a obvious on your suits and style.” He said so I laughed at him.

Observant.

“You’re a prodigy.” I praise him. I saw him go home.

“If I’m prodigy, I shouldn’t be reading those books just to learn.” He said so I just laughed.

“You’re something.” I only said because I knew he would have another answer to what I had to say.

After we buy books which I paid for.

I spent for him because I was so happy with him. If everyone in his generation are like him, the world will be like a living technology.

We went out to buy her something to eat and find her nanny. After I bought our food, we sat on the chair near the NBS so that his nanny could see him immediately.

“Thanks for the food.” He just said and dig in to his food. I just watched him while enjoying what he was eating. It was here that he became like a child because he was a bit ugly.

Hahahaha!

“Levi!” We turned to the woman approaching us.

“Yaya.” The boy called Levi said which is this boy with me.

“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for an hour.” Said the woman.

“Sorry yaya. I was with this guy in the bookstore. Look yaya, he bought me books to read.” The child said and showed the plastic of the books we had bought.

“Oh? I’m sorry for the inconvenience Sir. How much is the book?” The babysitter was mad at me.
