Aretta & Secrets

Early Day

Last night I couldn't catch my eyes. The silhouette of the Lord standing under the trees last night was very disturbing. I even had to hold myself back from peeking out whether he was still there or was gone. Aidan had asked me to tell him if something was bothering me, but under these circumstances how would I tell him? It seems strange if I suddenly directly discuss the God Sir who observed me because with me saying it means I must be ready to tell all the secrets that I intentionally hide.

And again, Aidan would definitely consider me a very confident woman just because he saw the Lord God was there. Because not necessarily the Lord is watching me. That's what Aidan would think. It would be embarrassing if that happened. Would he trust me more than his coworkers? If he is sane, Aidan would prefer Lord God to me, the strange human who often gets bad treatment from my own mother.

I was still lying on my bed and thinking about the many things I could do to get away from the radar of Lord God. If it ends up not being good, at least I'm the only one responsible. Not the people around me.

I looked towards the window. The sunlight had already seeped into the room through the blemishes of the curtains. The atmosphere today is indeed amazingly beautiful, it's just that I feel unable to wake up let alone have to act as if last night was just my imagination.

But after I recalled the matter of how hard work the two humans did in my house last night, my spirit instantly resurfaced. I quickly rolled over my cider and walked across the room to the door. I opened it and was immediately greeted by a burning smell coming from the kitchen area. I walked towards the pantry and found two ripe loaves of bread one of which was already black. I guess it was originally a piece of rock that was picked up, but if it was re-created, why would they bring the black stone into the house? I saw the bread on the other side, this time only partly burnt.

"Geez," I murmured softly. Just looking at it makes me shudder, especially if I have to eat it. It will definitely not be swallowed. I walked past the two failed objects and took some fresh bread from the cupboard. I also took the jam and applied it to the bread. This is breakfast for myself and I immediately eat without thinking while taking my mind off the sudden appearance of the Lord.

"Aretta!" exclaim Gio. He emerged from his bedroom, "happy brithday." He shouted again and ran towards me. The man hugged me tightly which made it difficult for me to breathe. I dropped my selaik knife on the table and made him sound.

"Why don't you eat the bread" he said, taking my bread which I deliberately made more for me to eat later. I protested but lost quickly with him because now my bread is half-living, "today's your brithday. I'll make you a delicious breakfast!"

"Babe," Ana's intrusion and we both turned to her, "you can't cook anymore. Do I have to remember what disaster you caused last night?" Ana pointed towards the two horrendous objects on top of the pantry. I nodded in understanding. It turned out to be my brother and it made him look down embarrassed.

"Sorrys. I forgot that I can't cook," but he chuckled back suspiciously, "don't worry because we can try to make it again."

Without ba bi bu, Gio again prepared the ingredients. This time he decided to make me some pancakes. I just looked at it because those two humans actually forbade me from helping.

Both Gio and Ana were very busy with their dough. And they do all the appropriate step of the video tutorial, but it is very difficult to understand how finally their homemade pancakes become like that.

"Why is gini?" I asked while pointing at the disaster they made while still sitting in my place.

Gio and Ana looked at each other, then they laughed out loud.

"It's like we're not experts" they complained. No wonder because the two humans had indeed prepared bread and jam for breakfast, while for dinner and lunch, they were used to ordering online.

The three of us told a lot of silly stories in the end and it made us almost cry because of the flowing stories. I now realize that celebrating my birthday is a gift to me.

In the end we decided to make fried rice. This time I cooked and the two men became my assistants. After having a delicious breakfast, I feel better. I also had a chance to check my wound and the wound had turned yellowish-brown which was getting easier to cover using foundation.

Since today is my birthday, I decided to wear the clothes I wanted. After putting on the uniform, I covered it with a hoodie that was even oversize but now more colorful. I chose pastel colors because all this time all I used was spinning on black and black.

I feel so much better and determined not to let the presence of the Lord interfere with my life.

I packed up all the books I had prepared on the table, then wrapped my bag on my shoulder while walking towards the kitchen. There I saw Gio and Ana who were still trying to make bread for the last kalinha. They didn't even notice my presence staring at the two on the pitnu of the membrane.

"NO!" ana was loud when Gio again tried to add flour to the dough, "it didn't need any more flour!" skink.

Gio chuckles. The man even threatened to put more flour into the dough. Ana protested, but she failed to hold Gio's hand which scooped a large amount of dough through her finger. As fast as lightning Gio rubbed the dough onto Ana's cheek. The woman did not shout or refuse, she just stood up and looked at Gio with an expression of disbelief as she felt the dough run down her cheeks.

Ana wiped the dough using her hands. The woman pouted.

I knew I should just go straight in and stop them fighting using the dough, but I didn't do that and would rather wait and see how much retaliation Ana would give Gio. I decided to lean my body against the door.

I turned my head again and found Gio who was rubbing his forehead which now even left the brown dough there. The two of them were still standing side by side with Ana's still grim expression and she refrained from laughing at Gio's look. The two people looked like contest participants who refrained from laughing first.

"Guys?" myrag. Now Ana and Gio stare back at me, "go it doesn't matter if you want a romantic, but please lakain it's just as I'm gone" I said. I then turned around and walked towards the door but lost quickly because Gio had also left the cake batter on my cheek.

I looked at her annoyed as well. The same look Ana gave the man but mine was worse. I'm going to wipe, but get stuck because an idea pops into my head. I pretended to be nauseous as if the batter had a tainting smell.

"This is what the hell?" I cried, starting the charade, "what's going in here?" Gio looked in shock as he wiped and kissed the dough, "try to kiss" I said as I thrust the dough toward him. Gio according. He moved his face to kiss the dough. When his face was close enough, I used the opportunity to stick the dough to his face. Starting from the forehead to the chin.

Gio's face was full of dough, but I couldn't bear to laugh. I used that opportunity to run outside laughing.

"That's my reply!" seruku again.

" When the door slammed shut behind me, I could hear the sound of Ana laughing out loud with her breathless breathing. And when I managed to reach the first floor, I could hear the sound of the laughter of the two people rumbling.

A smile adorned my lips as I left the house, moreover I did not find any more Lord God who was standing outside the house last night. I started walking slowly towards Daia cafe which is now located closer.

The road seemed to be slow, the air this morning felt warmer as last night with the scent of flowers that flowed along the main road.

Occasional gusts of wind carried fallen flower petals and filled the street, looking like the autumn that usually occurs in the outer countries. I must admit that my 17th birthday this time is the best birthday I have ever had in my life. I felt like I was born into someone else and I was given a happy birthday. I also got a present for my birthday this time.

I entered the Daia cafe with a wide smile on my face while walking closer towards Rafa.

"Hi!"my broom, "ready to go to school?" He looked up from the cashier's computer screen and looked at me with eyes filled with twinkle.

"Areyyah!" He exclaimed, "why don't you tell me that today is your birthday? I can't believe that I should know from your sister. Btw, happy brithday!"

I chuckle at hearing it and say thank you. The girl talked a lot that made me have to be stuck there for the next 10 minutes. The batru's chatter came to a halt when someone touched his shoulder.

"Sana. Ntar lo late." That guy told me that made Rafa a crime.

"Let's go" he said, taking his backpack from the back room reserved for staff. Not to forget also he took the key of his motorbike because it has become a routine he will go to school using a motorbike.

Along the way, Rafa interrogated me endlessly which made me have to rack my brain to give a non-disappointing answer. Many things he asked were fortunately still in safe condition. Rafa also asked about what my two brothers did to celebrate my birthday. I told him what happened this morning and he laughed. Rafa's laughter was very similar to the laughter Ana had.

We drove around in a jest and when we reached the school parking lot, a shadow appeared. I try to ignore it. It's my birthday and I can't be distracted by anything disturbing. My determination to myself.

However, when I found out that the figure was God Sir all my resolve collapsed instantly. Fortunately Rafa was not aware of my change in attitude and he also told me about him not being able to take biology classes with me.

I was immediately nervous. If Rafa wasn't there, who would he be with? Just imagining it scares me. I tried to calm myself and strengthen my resolve if the Lord God would not dare to mess with me during class, because it was very risky to be left alone. I became reluctant to take biology classes.

"Gue first," he exclaimed as he walked ahead of me towards his class. Damn it, I want to run away but my distance to the biology class is only 5 meters and again Mr. God has seen me in the parking lot.

When the man came in, I ran. That day I did not go to bio-learn and chose to go to another class. I thought Rafa would tell me when he was coming in, but unfortunately until the last second before school he didn't tell me. I couldn't skip anymore and decided to go to class, even though I was reluctant. I thought prayer would kick me out if I was late, but my guess was wrong.

"Why is it so late?" I heard someone whispering in my ear and I turned my head. I glared at him without saying a word. How could he behave like that in front of the other disciples?

I lanhsung covered in and sat down at my place.
