After taking a shower and choosing the clothes I wanted, I was escorted to the dining room by the two people who helped me earlier. Riri and Aria lead the way. The spacious room with a long table in the middle, on the table there are various foods that look appetizing. I've never seen that much food before. Unfortunately the man looked angry at what I was wearing, as he was about to approach Riri and Aria, I held his arm. Preventing something that I think is going to happen and that seems like a bad thing.
A faint smile rose at the corner of the man's lips, as if his angry face earlier was just an illusion that never happened. "Why, hmm?" tanyanya gently.
"Sa–sa–I'm hungry, sir ...," my great-grandson hesitated, I said just any excuse without a second thought, but I didn't lie if I was hungry.
"Alright, we eat first," the break made me breathe a sigh of relief.
The man glanced sharply at Riri and Aria. "We'll talk about this later, see how and what you'll get!" continues cold.
"Sir, if they are both guilty, please forgive them. They're both very good on my pad, sir." the master looked at me for a moment then smiled briefly.
"Alright, I will forgive those who have given you such a dress, if you will correct your call to me. How, hmm?"
I looked at the clothes I was wearing, there was nothing wrong with me. "But, sir, I chose to wear this myself" my great-grandson defended, I don't want anyone to blame for my actions.
"Whatever it is, it is the responsibility of both of them. So, will you change the call for me?"
I nodded in agreement. "I should call you how, sir?" ask me to agree to the terms he gave so that he would forgive Riri and Aria.
"Call me, Dan, Daniel, or Niel. If you choose which one, you can also call your baby if you want!" he said maybe for the last call he was just joking.
"Niel only," I chose to call him Niel only.
"It's a pretty good start for now" he said happily, once his mood changed.
"You two go, serve my girl better in the future. Remember, you guys avoided punishment for my girl's kindness?!"
"Good, sir. We'll remember!" Riri and Aria rushed away after answering their master's greeting politely.
"Can we eat while talking, hmm?" daniel asked, his voice sounding louder because there were only the two of us in this spacious room.
"I'm listening!" I answered quickly, maybe this is an influence and has become a habit since when I was under the pressure of my parents.
"Don't be too formal, baby. Speak as quietly as you want." I nodded in agreement.
"Good!" my reply.
"So, how old are you now?" it seems like the question and answer session starts now.
"17."
"The same age as Diani? You two twins?"
"Niel knows Diani's sister?" I was a little curious to be honest.
"Known? Ha-ha-ha, that word doesn't really suit me, baby! I not only know Diani, but I'm a worshiper of your twin! And the reason why you can be here now, it's only because of your similar faces." ah, now I'm starting to understand. Daniel adored my brother so much that he brought me a sister-like one as a substitute after my brother's departure.
I let out a long sigh, confused as to what to answer. "Actually .., I don't know why I'm locked up either. What I remember that day was that my father came with a furious face and pulled me into the room I was in, after which I never got a step out of there!" I'm I'm honest.
"Don't you want to know?" daniel asked in response.
I shook weakly. "Make what? Nothing's changed even though I know, right?"
Now it was Daniel's turn to nod. "The right decision! That's my girl?!" he said as proud.
"And, hmm, why do you sometimes call me 'My girl'?"
"Why? You don't like it, hmm?" his reply quickly answered my question.
I shook my head slowly. "I just want to know. What's the reason I'm a replacement? That's why I got a call that was supposed to be pinned to Kak Diani."
"My sweet and funny girl, if you say that, you don't look funny in my eyes. Remember, you are not a substitute! You are the only one! Wh why? Because Diani has left and only you have to survive!"
Damn, how is that different from a replacement. He's good, but the kindness he's given shouldn't be for me. It all belongs to my dead brother, I feel guilty getting it on his behalf.
"We'll get married after you turn eighteen. I'll prepare everything and all you need to do is eat, sleep, and play to your heart's content!"
"Yes? Married married?" I never imagined I'd be standing at the altar one day, nor did I ever dream of marrying someone. However, I also do not want a marriage that is not based on feelings like this.
"Why? Is a year too long, hmm?"
Crazy, this guy in front of me must be crazy. "If I'm honest, I don't know Niel very well. So ..., you must understand what I mean, right?"
"Pftt, what do you mean you don't have feelings for me, hmm?" I nodded and did not pierce at all the mocking laughter that was held back from him.
"There's still time to make that happen, my dear. And I'm sure it will work" he continued with confidence.
I bow my head. "But I don't want to be considered a substitute ..," my great-grandson muttered very, very quietly.
"I told you you weren't a replacement, baby. You're the only one forever?!" damn, his hearing is so sharp. Why did he have to hear the murmur I was thinking about trying.
"If my brother were still around, there's no way I'd be here, in front of Niel, right?" I don't know where I've gathered the courage to ask such a question.
Daniel's face hardened, his jaw tightened with the gaze of his eyes piercing towards me. He clapped his hands twice, then the door of the room we were in opened. "Your lady's aim is to rest, she seems to be so full that she asks a meaningless question?!" Daniel stepped quickly and passed with a cold look.
"meaningless? But it's important to me?" keres keres head.
"What are you waiting for? Take her?!" daniel cried out in anger.
"Good, master!" Riri and Aria immediately led me out of the room. After you left, the sound of things falling down was heard from inside there, perhaps Daniel went berserk and threw things at him to vent his anger.
"Damn! Why is it so hard to talk to him. No sister, no brother. Everyone is stubborn?!" amuk Daniel swore harshly.
