Aretta & Secrets

Rainfall

"Hallo Oma Dewi," I said cheerfully in a slightly loud voice to be heard by Oma.

the woman heard and she looked up from her book to smile at me, "Good day Aretta. I guess today you won't be too busy because of the bad weather outside," he pointed out because of the rain, "but you don't mind if you keep it in the store, Oma wants to go home first." His voice was very soft typical of the Oma when talking to his granddaughter. Is it possible that I will also be spoken to in such a gentle tone if I know her parents Mama and Papa?

"Aidan should have come by now. Yesterday's weekend he was excited to come fast." Oma Dewi is old but she seems to be a typical old man who still likes jail. When talking about Aidan, he smiled curiously at me, "probably because he wanted to meet someone here" he grinned as he pulled down his eyebrows.

He was very happy to tease me, but certainly what Aidan wanted to meet was not me. Probably one of the customers in the store.

After I thought about somehow the curiosity started to appear. The man was handsome, had an established job, he was also good definitely not possible if the man did not have a lover.

"If that's what Oma is first, Aretta" the voice of Oma Dewi managed to return me to the real world. It turned out that during my daydream the woman had already managed to collect all her belongings. One thing Oma never forgets, she always wears a scarf when cold weather strikes.

"See you later, Oma. Be careful on the way," I exclaimed as he made it to the exit. For the size of an old woman, Oma Dewi was included still in an agile size.

What Oma Dewi said turned out to be true. That day not many customers came because the more afternoon the weather was not good. But Oma Dewi was wrong about Aidan, until the afternoon the man did not come. So I'm the only one standing guard at the store. Fortunately I was able to handle all my own work and even more fortunate that I managed to find a spare key storage.

I'm not mad at him, I'm just upset at myself for some reason now I feel like I'm so dependent on him. Even I still wish he would show up and invite me to go back to his house. Very insolent thinking. It's not that when I get good treatment from someone else, I have to go back to hoping he'll do that again, right? Aidan also has a life of his own.

When I found out he really didn't come I let me sigh slowly. I finally came home accompanied by rain. The water that came downstairs was getting heavier and made my body drenched. During the trip to the house, no car stops to simply slow down the speed of the car or check whether there are people or not in the rain. That incident really opened my eyes if in this world I could only rely on myself.

I got home and found Mama and Gio on the spot. Tumben once, this time there will be more events that will happen to me.

I took off my shoes and left them outside so that tomorrow I could hang them out when I was leaving for school. Fortunately I was wearing a Hoodie so even though my clothes were wet it didn't make me feel like I was wearing a sponge that absorbed water. I decided to take a shower with hot water. It took me 10 minutes and I hope tomorrow I don't get the flu.

In this house, I'm the only person whose bathroom usage is time-restricted. Maximum 10 minutes and I have to take it. Plus I can't cook or use the kitchen if Mama and Gio haven't eaten. Not to mention all the groceries here are also theirs and I have to buy my own. The allotment I received was only 500 thousand every month and it was for his own food and transportation, so I never bought anything expensive because if it was discovered Mama would definitely ransack my room.

In this house also I can not make a sound above 10 o'clock, whether it is the sound of music, television, footsteps or the creaking of the door. The point is at 10 I've been required to rest.

I went back to my room with a cup of coffee and an orange. As soon as I got to the room I immediately sat down at the study table and started to repeat the material that will be used for the replay next Sunday. I don't know why I feel I can get good grades for a repeat this time.

I was so focused on my reading that I didn't realize Gio was going into the room. He grabbed my leg and made me jump. I almost spilled my coffee if I just let go of my hand grip on the cup.

"What do you want?" just pissed. He entered without a sound and it really shocked me.

I rubbed my chest slowly, trying to calm my racing heartbeat.

Suddenly his face became very serious. A face she's never shown me. Usually he just grinned and pouted indistinctly. For a while he was silent and there was no sound. The man looked at me before speaking.

"Lately I think a lot," he said carefully, "gue emang not as smart as you, but I also not sebego it also to know what happened the same lo." Gio still hasn't looked me in the eye, he turned his eyes towards my bed instead.

I let out a rough sigh and could not wait for what he wanted to talk about next.

"Lo's sick, right?" it and it made me freeze.

"No" I answered quickly. I don't want to add a lot of people who know what's going on with me. No Aidan not Gio. I prefer Gio who is stupid and uncaring compared to Gio who suddenly turned into like this.

"OK," he said as he stood up and stepped towards the exit. Gio did not come out straight away, he was still standing with his hand already on the doorknob. The man turned back to me, "gue knew I was a jerk. When you need a backrest I even close my eyes and assume what you are experiencing it because of the bokap lo error that has died Mama. But even so, I'm still your brother. Lately I've always been watching you and I know something's wrong. You hide something I don't know what it is." Gio let out a rough sigh while massaging his temple plan.

"Gue no longer asks for forgiveness. But I want to be a big brother to you even if it's too late. I've never seen you eat, you've always stuck yourself and never want to interact with me even though I'm annoying that bad."

"Lo said what the hell Gi. Just get out of there."
