“Hey, All, do you think our parents really had an affair?”
I repeated my question to Alliando who was still frozen without a word. In his eyes, I could see there were many flashes of feeling. I could see there was hatred, shock, sadness and other feelings that I might not be able to name. Even after a few minutes had passed, he was still silent, making an uncomfortable feeling fill my chest even more.
"Hey.."
"Ha ha ha!"Just as I was about to speak, he suddenly burst out laughing. A laugh that somehow makes my heart ache.
"Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!"He continued to laugh, even to the point of squatting while holding his stomach."All.."
"Stop calling my name like you know me well!"
Alliando's laughter suddenly stopped. He lifted his head, looking at me with a cold stare that gave me goosebumps.“Stop calling my name, dammit!!”he snorted while tilting hisFestival day…Huh..I rest my chin on my palm, staring at the football field. Currently, there is a football match between my class and Alliando's class. Cheers filled the field when Alliando managed to score against my class goal.“Our prince is the best!!”A funny smile formed on my face when I read the banner brought by the Alliando fan club with a face with his trademark smile printed quite large on the banner.Ah, come to think of it, it's been a few days since I tried to tell Alliando that our parents weren't having an affair. And that day was the last day we spoke to each other. Since that day, he seemed to stay away from me. He closed the apartment door tightly and he even changed the key, making me unable to enter his apartment to work as usual. Hmm, now I doubt whether I can still be said to be his household assistant."Well, he's really annoying!"I mumbled in annoyance when our eyes a
“Wow! You're really cool, Sha!”I gasped in surprise when Siena suddenly put her arm around my shoulder as she finished her basketball game. Of course she won, as would be expected of my school's basketball queen."Cool? What do you mean?"“Ugh, are you trying to brag or really don't know? Of course I mean the accessories that Alliando uses! I didn't know you were so good at making accessories! Hey, how about you make some official accessories for the girls basketball team too?”She narrowed her eyes before finally poking my shoulder while raising and lowering his eyebrows."Oh, that..."Huh? I instantly widened my eyes in shock when I realized what Siena's words meant. Wait! I did know that I was the one who made the accessories. But the fact who made the accessories is only known to me and Alliando. so how did Siena find out?"How do you know if I made it?"“Of course from A
"You really believe that our parents had an affair?"“Your father is a traitor All! And that woman is his evil partner you must hate!”"You can't trust anyone but mom! Remember that All! Remember that!"Beep..beep..beep..Alliando opened his heavy eyes. He looked at the clock on the wall, it was now 7 in the morning. Ah, it's time for him to go to school, and to be honest, now he hates it. After listening to the constant sound of the alarm, he finally decided to get up from his sleep. Walked out of the room and stared at his empty kitchen.Usually, at this hour, Shasha would be walking around in his apartment, preparing the things he needed. Don't forget her home cooking which according to Alliando fits his tongue very well."Stop thinking about her, All"He shook his head while smacking his cheek, trying to re-establish his faltering resolve.As he had expected, his heart would n
Really childish..I sighed, stroking my shoulder as a chill started to run through my body. Come to think of it I've been in the storeroom for quite a while. And until now, no one has been able to save me. Maybe it was because of the bonfire party that had already started, so all the students were gathering in the field right now. So no matter how many times I screamed, it was in vain. Even Andreas who was aware of the fact that I went to the storeroom didn't show up to save me either. Makes me wonder if this storeroom likes me or what, until I'm always locked in it?"I'm really bored.."I mumbled as I leaned my head on my knees, gazing into the dark storeroom. There is only a small lamp with minimal lighting in this storeroom. In my previous life, this incident had never happened. Because I really didn't attend the closing of the festival and the bonfire. I was too ashamed and envious of Senine's success.Actually, ever since I wo
That evening went on quietly as usual. Until finally a woman came and knocked on my door. She introduced herself as an old friend of my mother. At first my mother welcomed her with open arms. Smile broadly like someone who greets an old friend.I didn't really want to interfere with their conversation, so I gave them some alone time. Only, moments later, I heard my mother screaming, followed by the sound of her heart-rending sobs."What are you saying? So all this time you knew it all! So why are you just silent Ratna? Why?!"Mother screamed with a face filled with tears. It was the first time I saw my mother cry this sadly. Before, I'd always seen mom holding back her tears, swallowing her sadness deeply for whatever happened. Including when she have to accept the threats and cynicism of grandfather's attitude.It was the first time I saw my mother standing, shaking violently, while a woman who introduced herself as Ratna Edwa
Elena.."Thank you aunty!"I smiled as I lifted the empty basket which contained various fresh flowers before. Flowers that I took from a flower shop own by Aunt Anastasia who I consider like my own mother. Since she and her husband had no children, they decided to treat me as their child.Yup, I'm a girl who grew up in an orphanage. Both my parents died in an accident that took their lives. I was the only survivor, and according to the story of the head of the orphanage, my parents had no family. Whether it's because I was abandoned when I was too young, I don't feel sad at all. It's just that sometimes I feel jealous every time I see another child with their parents. I often imagine what if I was in their shoes. Will I have the same smile? Am I going to whine for something like they do? However, my wishful thinking disappeared after I grew up. After all, now I have a nice life. Being surrounded by good people is a gre
Elena..I still remember how his hands started to forcefully touch my body. How he smirked with an evil smile while saying"Just obey my will, then you will get out of your poverty!"It was the first time I realized that Jackson was more than just a jerk!He's a devil!The devil who looked at me with a condescending gaze. As if I was an object that could be treated arbitrarily. He even promised to pay me every time I let him 'touch' me. Saying that I am an orphan will not lack love if I accept his feelings.“Relax, Elena! You will definitely enjoy it soon!”On that cold night, I thought my world would collapse soon. I was too weak to fight because at that time I did feel something strange with my body. That night my body continued to feel weak and powerless. That's why I decided to go home earlier than the others.When I saw Jackson's eyes harassing me with his gaze, I thought the world was ignor
Elena..I don't know when it all went wrong. My relationship with Richard was suddenly misunderstood by his wife. She accused us of having an affair behind her back. Of course I tried to explain that it was all a misunderstanding. Even Richard and I decided to keep our distance.Moreover, Richard said that he loved his wife very much and did not want to lose her. I understood Richard's feelings well because I had also loved someone as deeply as him. However, his wife's misunderstanding just got bigger. She even came to me several times begging to leave her husband, as if I still kept in touch with Richard behind her back. She even promised to turn a blind eye to Richard's past closeness.Then, I, who didn't really understand what was going on, suddenly received an invitation from Freya, Richard's wife, to visit their house. She says, she wants to apologize for all the misunderstandings that happened between us. She sa
