We finally arrived at the cafe where Matthew and Thomas are and they're… talking with someone new? I thought Alfeo closed the cafe for us?"James! Little James!" Said Jude as he got off my bike as soon as I stopped then ran as fast as he could inside the cafe. "Why's he runnin'?!" Asked Simon, making us look at the three of them. And we saw Jaime and John riding their own bike while Simon is John's passenger. "And why are you so annoying?!" Yelled John to Simon.
Yeshua, Andrew and I parked our bikes on the bike rack in front of the cafe. "His brother is here," answered Yeshua to Simon's question with a smile. "He's that someone's brother that you don't even care about, Simon," said Andrew then walked towards the cafe's entrance. "What's his deal?" Asked Simon again as he got off John's bike. "You tell me," said John as he now parks his bike at the bike rack. "Try to be… sensitive, Simon," said Jaime as he placed his hand on Simon's shoulder after he parked his bike at the bike rack.
"Come on now, boys," said Yeshua and began to walk towards the entrance as well. All them boys followed Yeshua while Simon and I were left outside. "Am I not sensitive?!" Asked Simon. Definitely offended. I looked at him then shook my head, "No," I answered then followed Yeshua. "What?!" The only word Simon is able to utter.
As soon as I entered the cafe, all I heard was laughter and joy. "James! Little James! You have arrived at last!" Said Yeshua as He spread His arms and walked towards the table where Matthew and Thomas are sitting with the new guy. "Teacher!" Said the new guy—James, I think. "Can you stand yourself?" Thomas, who is beside James asked, looking concerned with him. "Yes, yes. Thank you, Thomas, but you don't need to worry about me," answered James to Thomas as he tried to stand up. He's-he seemed… "Are you okay? What's wrong?" Asked Andrew as he came near James.
"Andrew! What's wrong with YOU?" Thomas asked Andrew as he looked at him with irritation. James looked up at Andrew and chuckled a bit before answering, "I-uh… I-I got this medical condition that-uhm… that causes me to limp and hurt after being inactive or even active for a long time." Andrew slowly covers his mouth with his hand then nods as a response.
"Oh, Little James," said Yeshua as He hugged James while he's still sitting. James smiled and hugged Yeshua back. "Seems like you also need to be sensitive at times as well too, bud," said Jaime to Andrew as soon as he stood beside him. Andrew nodded quietly. "How's your journey?" Asked Yeshua as both Him and James let go from their hug.
John quickly got a chair and gave it to Yeshua, "ah, thank you, John," thanked Yeshua to John with a smile then He sat beside James. "It's a long journey from home, Teacher, but I'll still follow you wherever you will go," answered James with a soft smile to Yeshua.
"Welcome! Welcome! Please do sit! Sit!" Said Alfeo with a smile as soon as he got out of the 'staff only' room. And so, Jaime and Andrew quickly got four chairs—two of them each—from the nearest tables and gave it to John and me. "Where's Simon?" Asked Matthew, who was sitting beside Thomas, while looking at us. John, Andrew, Jaime, and I looked at each other then looked outside the cafe. Simon is not there anymore."Let him be for a while. He's reflecting as of the moment," said Yeshua with a smile to Matthew. Matthew looked at Yeshua then nodded as a response.
"Teacher, You finally have a female student," said James as he looked at me. I looked at him then smiled back awkwardly. Yeshua then also looked at me and smiled, "Yes, James. Her name is Maria."
