Shenina tidied up the ruins in a slight annoyance. Why would the ceiling collapse when Evgen's here?

While Evgen just touched the dull ceilings with his hands.

"Shen, when it rains you have to be careful. This seems to be very fragile" said Evgen while checking the old ceiling.

"Only the ceiling, will not make me die, if I die, you also will not grieve,"

Evgen looked at Shenina, laughing as hard as he could.

"Huh, yeah obviously. If you die, I will eat a lot of cake from your tahlilan," said Evgen arrogant.

"Damn you," said Shenina Ketus.

Evgen sighed and sat on Shenina's shabby mat, some parts of Shenina's house wet from rainwater.

Evgen sipped his tea glass, he looked back at Shenina who was still busy, mopping the wet floor of his house.

Sometimes Shenina grumbled with annoyance, why did it have to get worse when the arrogant man was in her house.

"Sister, I'm hungry," softly agitated Seta.

Shenina sighed and glanced at Evgen.

"There are only instant noodles, rice and other side dishes are all gone" Shenina whispered.

Although Shenina spoke softly, Evgen still had quite good hearing.

In order to keep Shenina feeling, Evgen just casually drank his tea. It was as if he had not heard the words that Shenina had spoken.

"It's okay, brother. The instant noodles were also already pretty good," Seta smiled widely, giving her spirit to Shenina.

"Alright, Big Brother will cook for you," Shenina looked back at Evgen.

"Hey Young Master, aren't you hungry? but there is no expensive food, only instant noodles, even if you want to eat," said Shenina Ketus.

"Instant noodles also have a lot of flavor, I of course like," said Evgen softly.

Shenina smiled and went into the kitchen. Cooking the remaining instant noodles in his closet.

Evgen looked at Seta who was studying in the rain and puddles in her house. Although with limited circumstances, but the spirit of Seta still blazing.

Evgen smiled gently, for some reason, looking at Seta this time. It made me think of Niki at home.

"Heh, your name is Seta right?" Ask Evgen softly.

"Yes, sister" replied Seta without looking at Evgen.

"What grade is in the class?"

"First rank, Brother."

"Lied!" Guess Evgen ketus.

"Oath, Brother."

"Hem, what a pity it's raining. If it doesn't rain, I'll take you to eat a burger,"

"Eh, seriously, brother?" Tanya Seta was enthusiastic.

"Yes, why? you're not sure I can buy a burger?" Ask Evgen haughty.

"Not Brother, if that's the case, I'll put the rain handler to stop raining,"

Seta ran into the kitchen, looking for red chili and onion. Put it in a bamboo prick and put it on the ground in front of his house, in the rain.

While Evgen could only scrunch his forehead. He did not understand what Seta was doing.

"Where's Seta?" Shenina asked with a bowl of instant noodles in her hand.

"Well, I don't know what he is anymore" Evgen said softly.

Shenina walked up to Evgen, looking at Seta who was being the handler of the sudden rain.

"Seta, let's eat," called Shenina softly.

Seta went back into his little house. His lips curved wide, impatiently waiting for the rain today to subside.

Shenina rubbed Seta's head gently, drying her wet hair with a towel.

"What are you doing? why rain?" Shenina asked softly.

"Leave it if it rains Seta, it means God is brushing His mercy on us" said Shenina softly.

"But I want to eat a burger, brother,"

"Eh," Shenina stopped her hand movements and looked at Seta's face.

"The brother said he'd take us to a burger if it didn't rain today. Therefore, I want to stop the rain."

Shenina sighed and grabbed the plate she had arranged earlier. Giving a plate of instant noodles to Seta's hands.

"Don't stop something from happening, Seta. You should be able to appreciate what comes, because something that comes has its own meaning,"

Shenina gave a plate of instant noodles to Evgen who was currently silent looking at her.

The more he knew Shenina, the more he understood Shenina's character. Shenina was not a bad girl, even Shenina could survive in the midst of such a difficult life.

Evgen began to feed the instant noodles given by Shenina earlier. Even though it tastes just salty, but why can he enjoy it.

Even Evgen ate it very greedily. Either because he was hungry, or because the noodles were made by Shenina.

Evgen continued to look at Shenina who was busy cleaning up the ceiling debris that was scattered in her home.

As Shenina was about to leave, a ceiling worm fell right next to Shenina.

"Ahhhh," Shenina slightly shouted in surprise.

"Be careful Shen, even if it can't make you die, it can make you puyeng, too,"

"Yes," Shenina replied relented.

Shenina sighed again, cleaning back the pieces that were scattered on the floor.

Evgen finished his meal and got up slowly. Looking at Shenina's movements from a fairly close distance.

Evgen turned to some worn-out figurines on the old walls of Shenina's house. Looking at the photo of Shenina's deceased parents.

"Shen," call Evgen soft.

"Hem,"

"If I may know, what did your parents die of?"

As soon as Shenina's hand movements came to a halt, Evgen's question made her chest feel claustrophobic instantly.

Shenina turned her gaze towards Evgen, she sighed and went back to cleaning the floor.

"Motor accident, when it was raining also like this. Seta was sick, so my parents hurriedly wanted to take Seat to the hospital, the fate of Seta survived but my parents who died," said Shenina sad.

"So after that, you stay alone?"

"We lived with Uwak, but since Uwak's wife didn't like it when we lived in her house, I decided to stay alone."

"Hem," Evgen nodded his head.

His eyes again looked at Seta who was sitting alone eating instant noodles earlier.

For some reason, this time Evgen felt affection when he saw Shenina's sister. She was a child, but she was trying to understand and care about Shenina's circumstances.

Though Niki is currently very spoiled and also crybaby. Niki always told Megi to make something for her.

Evgen smiled and shook his head, he turned his gaze to the ceiling of Shenina's house.

Evgen's eyes saw that the ceiling above Seta would collapse. Evgen ran and crouched down, hugging Seta's body.

"Seta,"

Bugh

The ceiling collapse hit Evgen's head. Shenina immediately ran over to the two of them.

Evgen opened his arms, looking at Seta who was still shocked by what had happened.

"Is it okay?" Ask Evgen softly.

Seta simply shook his head, slowly blood flow across Evgen's forehead and dripping on Seta's skin.

"Sir Shen, this big brother has a bloody head" Seta said as she watched the thick drops of blood litter her skin.
