All because of Angel

Chapter 8

Oi! o twin of the womb

Adrina snorted while reading the message Adrian sent an hour ago. He just finished his shower. One hand was busy drying his hair with a towel while the other hand typed a reply for Adrian.

Whyyy?!

After typing such a short message, he walked towards his walk in closet to replace the towel kimono that wrapped his body with clothes.

Adrian snorted at the punctuation mark at the end of the word 'why' that Adrina sent.

"He's why?" His murmuring was confused.

Adrian quickly conveyed his intention of sending a message to the girl.

My faculty friends are here over and over again tonight.

Adrian also added a photo that was an invitation for his friend's birthday.

You know him too, right? Invited too?

While waiting for a reply from Adrina, Adrian decided to open the door of his room which was knocked from the outside.

"Dan, I have a class assignment. And I need your help,"

"Ck! I don't have time. Take a break,"

"Ih! If it's for me, there has to be time! Hold on, I'll grab my laptop first to show you the job,"

Auristella ran to her room to take on the task she was referring to. Adrian rattled his hair. His intention was to sleep. Because he just got back from college.

"This, please look at my duty, look at it, and then do it,"

"Oh how much did you pay me? Hmm?" Adrian asked as he pulled his sister's random earlobe.

"Later to make americano your friend watch the ball. I promise,"

Given his sister is very difficult if asked for help even for small things, then this time he will not waste the offer given Auristella.

"Other than that, what else?"

Auristella growled in annoyance. His brother did not know himself. He gave one, but asked for more.

But he really needs the help of his brother. Inevitably he must fulfill any request Adrian.

"Whatever you ask, I will fulfill. Now quickly help me to do the job,"

Adrian smiled with satisfaction. He slowly rattled the hair that belonged to his sister. When else could he make his sister submit? Very rarely. Because Auristella would fly the war flag to her more often.

******

I was invited too

Adrian: Want to go with me?

Adrina seemed unmoved to think about Adrian's offer. Actually going with Adrian is a common thing. But somehow after his conversation with Andrean yesterday made it awkward to meet Adrian. Does Adrian really think their friendship is more than that?

Adrina scratched her temple in worry.

If you don't want to come with me it's okay. Maybe I'll take Angel?

Adrian thinks there's no harm in him too. They've been friends a long time. She was sure her brother wouldn't mind.

Okay, pick me up at 7.

Seeing Adrina's reply, Lovi and Devan's second son smiled. Somehow he was happy because his invitation was accepted by his friend and enemy since childhood.

******

Andrean's out of college. Career and education for today is over. It's time for him to rest. Oh actually he can not rest first when he gets home later. Because his Daddy invited him to play golf. He said they had not done that sport for a long time. Andrean of course agreed.

After college, he entered the car and was about to hurry home. On the way, he receives a call from Lovi.

"Andrean, Mommy is with Angel at the restaurant where she works. Mommy is going home now. You pick it up, yeah,"

"There's a driver, Mom,"

Not that he refused but Devan said he was waiting for him at home.

"I want to play golf with Daddy,"

"Later Mommy tell Daddy that you might be a little late. Now come yes, thankyou, darling,"

Without saying anything more, Lovi ended his call. Lovi never got tired of meeting Angel. Whenever there is a chance, He will not waste it.

"What time are you home?"

"Later tonight, Aunty,"

"Oh so can't go home with Aunty?"

Angel smiled as she shook her head. The schedule is still working until later, almost midnight.

"Yes, if you want to work again, please. Aunty's here waiting for Andrean to pick up,"

Fifteen later, Andrean comes to pick up his Mommy. Lovi smiled happily to welcome the arrival of her son.

"Can we go home now, Mom?"

"Sure,"

"Angel, we go home first yes," He called Angel until the girl turned her head. He was cleaning one of the tables. Angel nodded with a smile and returned Lovi's hand.

Angel smiled at Andrean before he turned to his car. As usual, Andrean was most difficult to smile.

******

Andrean and Devan are both focused on their targets. The small ball in front of them had to go in for this time.

It has been quite a long time absent playing golf, it turns out to affect the results of their current play.

"Arghh! fail again. Jesus, focus!"

Devan was upset again. Thirty minutes played just a few times he succeeded, counting on the fingers.

"I give up" Andrean murmured as he rubbed the sweat on his temple.

He was exhausted and decided to finish the game. Devan who saw that smiled a little.

Again, Devan tried. It failed! he also followed in Andrean's footsteps. Today they are less good at playing.

"We have to play a lot more, Andrean," said Devan approached his son who sat down and patted his eldest son's shoulder.

"Yes, Dad,"

Andrean gulped down some drinking water to quench his thirst. Devan did something similar.

"Later, take Angel out to golf. He will quickly give up just like Mommy and Auris, or not" said the three-born man, chuckling.

"Maybe the same, Dad,"

Andrean smiled faintly. Auristella and Lovi are the hardest to get into this sport. Must be completely focused with very little chance of success.

"Sister, go home now? Your shopping has been a lot. Later money for daily meals is not**--"

"Can you shut up?! Why can't you see I'm happy? Huh?!"

Angel breathed a sad sigh. He would not be noisy if Gesty used enough money.

The money Gesty used was her money. He just received income from the restaurant two days ago. He's getting it's not very easy. Exhausted, his mind drained, his rest time even a little, not to mention he had to go to college as well. But Gesty easily snatched the money and then spent it at will.

Currently they enter a clothing distro after the previous Gesty hunt skin care and make up.

Angel very rarely enters the mall for shopping. Because He knew finding money was not easy so to use it for things that were not so necessary, He had to think repeatedly.

"Sister, the shirt here is expensive" Angel's great-grandson looked at the brand's longest in front of the distro.

"Who said cheap?!" Gesty replied that she didn't care. He started looking for the clothes he wanted.

"You're going to college. So no need to have fun. While I'm not in college. So we're even,"

"If you want to go to college, make your own money, sister," said Angel who was too upset. Although his voice was very small, but Gesty could hear him. His half-brother was pushing him, lucky he didn't get to the floor.

All the visitors were busy choosing until no one was aware of Gesty's treatment.

"I can also go to college because of other people, not because of dad. So you don't envy me like that,"

Again, Angel upset him. Rarely did his sister. Is it because they're in a public place so Angel is brave? Angel provoked him to get emotional and then did something to Angel and finally humiliated himself.

"I'll do something to you at home later. Just look!" Gesty said with his sharp tone that clearly makes Angel threatened.

"Sister, I beg you, we go home now huh. The moon's turn is still long. If the money runs out now, how will we eat? The rest of my tuition money was already Dad and Brother spent yesterday,"

Actually yesterday even Gesty was shopping, spending the rest of Angel's tuition which should still be very enough for their needs for one month. But the more he got here, the money was never enough again. Therefore, Angel worked so that he could earn extra money. In fact, it is often lacking as well. Obviously less, because it is used for things that are not actually needed.

The bad habits of his father and stepbrother who like to spend money are getting worse to make Angel really feel depressed.

"Ean, because Ian can't accompany me shopping for snacks to watch the drama. So I want you to accompany me,"

"Buy snacks can ask for help from others, Auris," said Andrean reminded Auristella that they have a maid who is happy to help if they really need help.

"No, I want all the treatment" Auristella replied as she touched her face at the bottom.

"You see, there's one pimple here. Erghhh I hate to see it,"

"It may soon be gone,"

Andrean still tried to push even subtly. But Auristella is still a stubborn girl.

Andrean finally nodded his head in resignation as his sister whined. He could not resist the wishes of this only sister especially if he had whined.
