Chapter 4 : Daddy’s mistery gift
Before goes back to his car,the big blue skunky watched by a window to see if his lil foon was being happy.When he saw lil Saila playing happily with some other kids.He couldn’t stay till the naptime,but just time enough to be sure that his precious lil Foon was in a safe place.
He walked a few steps till reach his car,opening the door,sitting at the driver seat,closed the door,and went to the roads.Gustavo looked at his wristwatch,07:30 am.He still had time to do something before goes to his job interview.
He drove the car till find a post office.Gustavo parked the car in a safe place,and went inside the door.It was almost empty,so he quickly saw a worker.
“Good morning sir,how can i help you?” Asked a red fox,with “Peter” at his name tag.
“Good morning...I bought some things on the internet,and i wanna know if some of them arrived...My name is Gustavo Salomão.”Said the blue skunk
Quickly,the fox typed the name,and looked at the info the computer showed.
“Hmmm.it arrived a box for you...i’ll pick it.Give me 2 minutes and i’ll be back,sir.” Awnsered the fox,politely,and walking to a door.a few minutes later,he came back with a medium box.
After confirm some data,like the documents and name,Gus finally picked the package,looking to it.It was a white box,with a small note over.He walked back to his car reading the note,that said :
"Dear Gus,
You may not remember me nowadays,but i’ll never forget you.The good moments we have.You and Saila were the perfect two.
I was cleaning the wardrobe,when i found those items.You may not remember them now,but you and Saila had a lot of good times with them.I would give those for a friend here,but though you would like to see them and remember the perfect moments.
Don’t open it in a public place,but be sure to stay near some people.They can help you when you need or feel confused about all.
Just enjoy this gift,and that this wonderfull gift makes you feel happy.
I’ll say goodbye,hmm,not a goodbye.Maybe a See you Later”
Without a name of the one who wrote the note,he got the box at the back seat of the car,and then went back to house.He still has time for his interview,that starts at 09:30am.
He though first in eat something,as he didn’t knew how much time the interview could take.But before anything...He picked the box,walked inside house,and there,opened it.For his surprise,there was nothing making sense.
Inside the box,there was a small pink dress,for toddlers,or even babies, 4 small pink diapers,matching with the dress,and the only thing that wasn’t for kids,it was a collar.Still pink,with a small golden plate,but with nothing wrote there.
The blue skunk looked at it,trying to understand what was that for,or if it was a joke.He couldn’t remember anything about them,and again,read the note,trying to find a reason for it all. After read 5 times,he looked at one sentence...
“Don’t open it in a public place,but be sure to stay near some people”
His house isn’t a public place,but now he’s alone...He give a look again at the things that were at the box,and picked the collar.The odd is that it looked like made for him,but then why the dress?and the diapers?
He looked at the clock,08:10am.Still enough time to give a look at all again,and try discover this strange package.Gustavo picked again the collar,and slowly setted at his neck.
Gustavo didn’t felt anything different.Then after a few minutes with the collar on,he decided to take it off,but somehow,it didn’t came off.He tryied to pull it off and open it,but it kept at his neck.
The big blue skunk meeped,and sighing,looked over his tools to cut it off.He started to search something,but his pliers and scissors weren’t there. He though in get one of his knifes to cut it.He even tryied,but again,nothing worked.
He sighed,and then picked the box,setting the dress and diapers inside.He got a shirt and a coat,in an attempt to hide the pink collar,and walked outside his house,to check for some help.Help?He got the note again,and read the last part again :
“They can help you when you need or feel confused about all.”
At the moment he closed the door,he felt a bit dizzy,but still wanting to get the pink collar off,before his job interview.He give small walks,but felt something different after each step.He couldn’t notice what was,but he jsut knew something wasn’t right.
