“This little time. Ever since mom died and dad got married again.Our life changed drastically. My new mother loves to tease my father. He always took my father everywhere without taking us his son.
“The new mom was also chatty. Every day I keep nagging. It was spicy and always wanted us to be with his son. His son is handsome but my brother is talented.
“Intinya, every day Lucas was the same new mother was fighting, even to the countless number of times they hit each other. Sometimes, Lucas also had to deal with his son. I could only hide in the closet praying. That's it,” Chloe was silent for a while. The fries he chewed disappeared in his stomach. He picked up a new potato and ate it again.
“Biasalah.. His name is also family, there must be a problem. But, the present father instead sided with the new mama. Every small mistake, we always hit the stone. We are always accused. Father even..” Chloe folded up the upper arm of her shirt, then showed Black Aura a fairly wide scratch scar on her upper right arm.
Black Aura was wide in silence finding that wide and wide wound. He was convinced that the wound was a scar from hitting an iron object with a pointed tip.
“Sick times..” comment Black Aura grimaces slowly.
Chloe chuckles, “Indeed. Because of the pain, I had trouble stopping my crying and as a result, I was locked in my same room. Then they went for a walk until finally, Lucas came and broke down the door of my room.
“Of course he was surprised to see me hurt so badly. But, I told him, don't go berserk. So, tomorrow. I want to go to school so hindered because of, his son to do it. He traded my good daily value for his bad daily value. He even crossed out my name and wrote his name on my paper.
“As a result, I was confused to find where my paper went—direct diomelin all-out by the new father and mother. Sick knows. Besides going home from school, I was not welcome. Being let go like a passing demon, the treatment of his mother and son is also not fair with me.
“They are shameful to me. I regret that I was born. Even I tried to kill myself but found out the same new mother. Again, I was yelled at and this time, he used violence. You know what, a baseball bat?”
Black Aura nodded briefly.
“She hit my back, then let me be in pain in the kitchen. I thought, what kind of grudge does he have with me? Lucas decides to move to America while the new mom and dad don't know. Until now!”
Chloe patted her thighs a sign that the story was over.
“Hm... From your story, you are actually more often hurt in verbal form than ignored,” comments Black Aura later.
Suddenly, Chloe was choked by her own cola and thoughtlessly stormed the Black Aura with an unacceptable look.
“Kok that? I've also been ignored by my father since there was a new mother and her child. Why do you rate me more as a victim of domestic violence?” his protest.
“Because of your wounds. The scars on your heart and arm are different. But, trauma. I understand but it turns out you and mom are different.” The Black Aura. “Aish, hot.”
“Hmm... Is Midnight the same as me? Ignored friends, teachers, and family?”
“Ngak. Mom has a best friend. It was his best friend who often caught your attention!” satirical Black Aura after that continued to chew his panduan sponge.
Realizing she was insinuated, Chloe immediately put on an unhappy look. “Nevent need to use indigestion also dong. I know you're still angry. Then, how did Midnight get to meet this Carnater world? Was there an incident in Carnater that made him accidentally enter that world?”
“Ngak. He met this world not because of an incident but rather, Meg. You could say, mother is a child that is not considered.”.
“Then? What was the reason why he killed himself?” ask Chloe curious.
“If you want to know, just ask mom. She knows more about her life than I do.”
Chloe pouting. Again, already made curious it is not tasty. Especially if the person he thinks will tell a story suddenly chooses to end the story and give up people who know more about the story.
“Huft... If you don't want to tell a story, don't make me curious! Curious it is not forever en..”
“Mother is intending to kill herself because she gave up with her life as a ghost,” cut Black Aura suddenly just as she finished swallowing a pandanus sponge.
The girl before him widened in disbelief as soon as he heard the story that Black Aura continued.
“Which I remember, I intend to jump off the bridge and it just so happens that winter is hitting Tokyo City. The river water below must have frozen, right?” while telling the story, Black Aura glanced at Chloe for a moment while smiling. The aura resumed its story while wiping the sauce that stained Chloe's cheek with a tissue.
“I can feel how mom is suffering. Because at that time, the mother was not at all considered her family and was treated like a ghost. I don't know why my family treats my mother that way. Clearly, her family's treatment with her mother and sister was very different. Her sister is getting a lot of affection whereas mom..”.
“I understand. But why did it get to that? I thought Midnight was a strong man. You said he had friends too, right? If he has, why not just run to his best friend's house?” comment Chloe.
“Because I'm so desperate for her life. He thought that his life was completely worthless from the very beginning. I think that the ideal family is only three. Therefore, he was sure that his family would not look for him,” explained Black Aura ended the story. His violet bead this time looked at his pair of shoes.
“So yeah? I think you're just summing up Midnight's story. It was also incomplete story,” comments Chloe smiled ignorantly.
Black Aura chuckled, “Kan, I told you. If you want to know more of the story, ask the person directly. Now, we go for a walk!” take her to her feet, not forgetting to help Chloe to get up with her as well.
“Where are we going?”
“To your world. Here too quiet, I too, somehow miss the crowds in your world," said Black Aura ended with a smile that was then reciprocated with a smile Chloe herself.
The two teenagers chuckled together, before finally toasting and returning to the story.
Tonight, it was really calming for the two of them who craved such precious time.
"If on earth later, I will take you to a special place that Aoi rarely goes with Jacqueline," said Chloe slightly raising her head arrogantly.
Black Aura chuckled softly in response, "Alright. Don't forget it!"
