Addiction to Mother Step

Long time no see

Nio smiled as he hurried back to close the door.

"Your sister has arrived? Ah what a coincidence, I bought a lot of food and drinks." Nio said while showing the two bags of groceries he held.

Hearing such a familiar voice, suddenly made Rena so scrunched her forehead.

"The voice, why is it so similar to..." Rena's chirps inwardly, but instantly came to a halt as the figure began to step inside towards the sofa.

Nio continued to step towards the sofa, the place where Zayden and Rena were sitting.

"So bro, this is Nana, my sister." Zayden said as Nio got closer to him.

And how shocked Nio was when he turned to look at the woman who turned out to be Rena, who was sitting on the sofa at that time. Similar to Nio, Rena also seems so surprised that at once both eyes seem to be so perfectly rounded.

"Ni, Nio??!!!" Said Rena in a very soft voice that reflexively rose from her seat.

Nio who was so flabbergasted, unconsciously dropped the two bags of groceries he brought. It certainly invites confusion and a big question mark for Zayden who does not know anything between the two of them.

"Ka, do you know each other?" Zayden asked who looked so confused.

But Nio still seemed silent with a gaze that seemed unbroken looking at Rena, as well as Rena who was also still fixated on looking at Nio with a difficult look at art.

"Hey, what's going on between the two of you? Why are you quieting each other?" Zayden asked again who started waving his hands before the two of them.

It also made both of them flinch.

"Do you really know each other??" Ask Zayden again.

"Not yet!" Answer Nio spontaneously.

That made Rena re-narrate her forehead.

"Not yet familiar but why do you two seem surprised when you meet?"

Nio also chose not to answer Zayden's question that time, which he did at that time actually stepped back in front of Rena while extending his hand.

"Hi." Say Nio with a tone of speech and a flat face.

Rena, who had been looking at him with a different gaze, finally welcomed Nio's hand and they shook hands for the first time after a long time not touching each other.

"Hi." Answer Rena slowly.

"Antona." Nio.

"Ak, I'm Rena." Said Rena who looked a little clumsy when their two hands were back in contact.

"Nice to meet you, Rena." Said Nio who was still putting on a flat face.

"Yes, nice to meet you too."

At that time there was absolutely no smile that emanated from Nio's face as usual, unlike the old days that he always smiled when looking at Rena.

"Zayden, so Nana and Rena are the same person?" Asked Nio who this time looked back at Zayden.

"Hehehe yes, she was called Nana at home, that's because when she was a child she couldn't name Rena, which came out of her mouth was always Nana, that's why we called her Nana." Zayden briefly smiled.

Nio was again silent, as if it was still so difficult to believe that when Rena was in front of his eyes. While Rena, at that time she could only look down and look so clumsy when Nio, the man she once loved and had long disappeared from her life, was now back in front of her eyes.

"What feeling is this? Didn't I forget about it? But why does it feel the same when our hands touch?" Mumbled Rena in the heart.

"Hmm Na, you must be tired right, I have prepared a room for you, a room that should be occupied by Nio, but knowing you will come, he chose to sleep on the sofa." Reveal Zayden with a smile.

"Owh, I could've slept in a hotel if it was like that." Rena Sayings.

"Haaiss, why would you rather sleep in a hotel than stay here with your sister? You guys need to stay here, I need a friend here." Zayden said that he did not allow Rena to stay at the hotel.

"But I would feel bad if because of me, someone would sleep on the couch."

"I've offered Nio to sleep in the room with me, but she prefers to sleep on the sofa." Zayden.

"Haiss, do I have to sleep on the couch to keep you here?" Asked Zayden again who again glanced at Rena and Nio in turn.

"Are you really okay sleeping on the couch?" Ask Rena to Nio.

"Hmm okay!" Rena replied at last while sighing and glancing towards Zayden.

Rena finally re-route her suitcase to bring her into the room, while Nio who has returned to sit on the sofa, just kept silent while looking at Rena's departure.

"How am I supposed to deal with all this? the universe seems to really want to always play with my feelings!!" Nio murmured in the heart.

"How's my brother? She's pretty, right?" Zayden asked who looked proud as he said it.

As for Nio, at that time he only nodded briefly while smiling thinly.

"Oh yeah, didn't you say you were hungry?? Then what did you buy?" Ask Zayden who immediately took two bags of groceries that were on the floor.

Zayden took the two bags and brought them to the table,

"Wahh, your groceries are almost similar to my monthly shopping. Why buy so much?"

"It's okay, anyway the three of us are here, I bought for all of us."

"You are truly a very royal person, will be very lucky someone who becomes your partner later hehehe."

Hearing that, immediately made Nio again grunt quietly while smiling.

"But unfortunately your sister refused to be that lucky woman." Chirp Nio in a very slow voice.

"Huh? What did you say?" Zayden asked who could not clearly hear Nio's words.

"Nothing, forget it." Reply Nio calmly.

"Hmm okay, since you've been spending money on all this, so let me brew this instant noodle for us. Ok?"

"Thank you Zayden."

"Ok, wait!" Zayden rushed up and returned to the kitchen with several cups of instant noodles.

On the other hand, Rena who was sitting on the edge of the bed, seemed pensive with her feelings that were again made erratic. The unexpected thing that had just happened, really made it seem like a dazed person.

How not, having to go back to meet someone he had so hard to forget, making his struggle all this time as if in vain, because it turns out it still feels the same when he meets Nio again.

"How could the universe be this cruel to me? Why should we be found again? He didn't even admit to knowing me." Rena murmured softly in the heart.

After a few minutes, he returned with three cups of instant noodles and placed them on the table.

"Hmm it's been a long time since I've eaten such an instant food, it would be so delicious to eat it in such cold air." Cousin Zayden who seemed so excited.

Again Nio can only smile, for some reason since he met Rena again, Nio suddenly turned into more silence.

"Then I want to call Nana, I'm sure she must be hungry too."

Nio just nodded briefly.

*Tocktails*

"Yeah..." Call Zayden.

"Yes, why Zay?" Rena from within.

"Are you not hungry? Come out, I've made instant noodles for us."

Not long after that, Rena opened the door.

"You must have reported it? Come on, eat it, I've brewed you instant noodles."

With a slight hesitation and a slight glance towards Nio, Rena finally agreed and came back out of her room. Inevitably, he sat on the same sofa as Nio, despite the distance that separated him at that time.

"I'm sorry, today we're eating this first, because I really didn't know you guys were coming today, I promise you tomorrow we'll cook you a special meal." Zayden.

Rena just smiled thinly, while Nio, choosing to stay silent again and looked a little awkward.

...Seriate......
