When Did That Happen?

Season: Summer
In this post: Lencho Oduya, Amanda Carlson, Nyack Oduya

Lencho pulled his son, Nyack, in close and held him tight.  He knew it was silly to miss him.  He had seen the boy over winter break and talked to him weekly over the phone.  He just couldn’t help himself, probably because he was a single parent and it had been just him and his son for so long.  Just the two of them.  When Nyack was away at school he missed him and when he was home for breaks Lencho wanted to spend as much time as possible with him.

Lencho led Nyack into the kitchen were they could eat and catch up.

“How’s Meadow?”  He inquired, curious about Nyack’s girlfriend.  Nyack hadn’t mentioned her lately during their phone calls.

“We broke up.  We decided that it would be best if we go our separate ways for now.”

That bit of information had not been revealed during their weekly talks.  Lencho wondered when it had happened and why Nyack hadn’t told him sooner.  Before college Nyack use to tell him everything.  Now it seemed that he was editing his life.  Only telling him bits and pieces.  He thought back to when he was Nyack age,  he did the same thing, only told his parents certain things leaving out details.  It should not have hurt but it did.  Lencho knew that this was the natural progression of all parent and child relationship but he still didn’t like it.

“It really wasn’t working out.  She wants to do more social things and I like to study.  We were growing apart.”  No more details just a vague explanation

Later that night he expressed his dismay to Amanda, his live in girlfriend.

“When did that happen?  When did we grow so far apart?”

“I think you are taking it a little to personally.  He is a grown man now, there are things he doesn’t want his daddy to know.  Things that you should know.  Babe, he’s a grown man now.  He’s gotten a taste of independence.  Just think of all the things the two of you can do now that he is older.  Like this camping trip you have planned.”

“Speaking of which.  Are you sure you don’t want to come.”

“I’ll pass”

• I just wanted to do one more update on Lencho and Nyack Oduya before I regulated them to the realm of  semi-playable.  These two never give me any problems which is sort of sad.  I like them so much but they are just so boring.  I couldn’t even bring myself to do a proper university update.  Even though a lot of drama happened between Nyack and Meadow.
