Who's that? I asked myself as I made towards my car after doing casual grocery shopping.

"Hello..." I asked the cute, little boy who, it seemed like, was trying to hide behind my car.

"Ssshhhh..." he said.

I chuckled. Who was he? What was he upto? Whoever he was, he looked very cute. He must be around age of four to five.

"Why are you hiding?" I smiled at him.

"My dad's girlfriend..." he replied,still not looking at me, but trying to hide himself from somebody, "She's so bad."

Oh God... I chuckled.

"Oh no... She's coming here." he panicked.

"Look... What's your name?" I asked him.

"Riley..." he replied. "Go away." he muttered, looking at the lady, who it looked like was looking for someone. So, she was his dad's girlfriend, I thought.

"Look Riley..." I knelled down to him, "You shouldn't hide from her. See, she's looking for you. She seems worried. You should go to her, I think."

"No... She's so bad. Oh wait... Daddy is here, too? What a surprise." he said excitedly and began running.

I chuckled as I shook my head. The boy was cute. I hoped his dad would find some better girlfriend. I turned around to look at his father.

It felt like my heart skipped a beat.

No.

It couldn't be.
