My Lovely Cousin's

Chapter 2: The Staircase Incident

Look straight at the mirror. Zara watched the reflection of her light there. While mirroring the girl imagined Ran's face. That person still filled Zara's head until the smile on her lips expanded. For the first time in his life there is a chance to see a human who looks like an angel like Ran. The perfection of that man is undeniable.

After breaking her hair, Zara moved from the mirror to her desk. The girl grabbed a pen and a black journal book. Soon a few drops of ink seamed beautifully on the white striped paper. Apparently Zara is writing a diary.

*The sign that you're starting to like someone is when your mind is just filled with them. Wherever you go, only a smile continues to accompany your steps.

But I still doubt. Do I like it? Today was the first time we met. Can I conclude that I have fallen in love at first sight?

Oh yeah, his name is Ran. He is my cousin. Son of my father's brother. Really, he's handsome. Her narrow eyes are so riveting. He was the second man I liked. But strangely I feel he's the first*.

Smiling, Zara continued to scratch her pen ink onto the striped paper. I don't think time has shown at 12:30 p.m. After being satisfied to tell the figure of Ran in his journal book, he began to rise.

"It's lunch time. It seems like mom is already cooking in the kitchen." muttered the girl as she began to step out of her room.

Right in the corridor, it turns out that Ran has also just come out of his room. Zara was nervous as they walked down the stairs. The girl glanced at a glance and looked at both eyes Ran was playing mobile phone with one hand and the other hand put in the pocket of her pants.

'Really handsome. The style is so cool.' Zara chirps in the heart.

Unknowingly it turns out that Ran's footsteps preceded him, the man has reached the last rung of stairs and immediately drove towards the kitchen without intending to look around.

While Zara still needs to go down a few more steps. But it seems that the girl is still in fantasy mode, casually she stepped two steps at once until her body was plunged to the floor.

"Aakkhh." screeched.

Ran frowned in the middle of his footsteps towards the kitchen, like there was a falling sound but the man instead chose to continue his steps.

While Zara held her sprained ankle due to a fall. "Jeez it hurts so much" he said, looking around. It was fortunate that Ran did not see the scene, which made Zara breathe a little relieved.

With a sense of shame, he tried to stand up to continue his steps toward the kitchen before anyone could see. While slightly limping Zara kept walking trying to disguise the look of her face of embarrassment and pain.

Until he reached the kitchen and sat at the dining table with Ran and his mother. The two of them seemed to talk until they did not notice Zara's arrival. The girl tried not to look stiff or strange.

But again the pain from the sprained was still felt until the girl felt unable to chew. He kept biting his lower lip to hold the taste.

'Did I just tell mom if I fell?' he said in his heart while continuing to grimace.

Before long the eyes of the two people were fixed on Zara. He didn't realize it and still grimaced in pain.

"Zara what's wrong with you?" sahut the mother.

Just realizing, Zara hurriedly shook her head. "No ma'am."

Tamara looked to frown. "Why did you grimace from then on? Are you sick?"

Ran's eyes stared at the girl's face intensely. He recalled that as he climbed up the stairs, the man heard a sound of a reset being heard. But I don't know what's going on.

"You fell down?" suhut Ran suddenly.

Zara looked up and rounded her eyes. "Why do you know?"

"Oh that, I heard a strange sound from the stairs. So you really fell?" ran replied and asked back.

Zara looked down then nodded twice. Seeing that made Tamara seem to smile.

"So which one's the blister?" ask Tamara.

Lunch was delayed for a while due to Zara. The girl showed her bruised ankle to the mother. Tamara grabs the girl's leg and begins to examine it.

"You sprained pretty badly, how did you get like this? Did you run down the stairs?" sulcan Tamara.

Zara shakes. He chose to be silent out of embarrassment if he had to answer.

"Ran, please, get some cream in the cupboard." Tamara asked, pointing to the cupboard near the fridge.

'How embarrassing. Just because I imagined his face, I fell down the stairs. Geez I feel like my brain is out of my mind.'

After taking the cream and giving it to the aunt, Ran sat back down to feed her food. Zara is seen enduring the pain of Tamara's hand touching her leg. Ran looked at that face. Cute too, he thought. But not caring so much, the man just kept quiet.

"Akkh, ma'am why is it getting sicker?" groused Zara.

"His name is also treated, it does hurt Zara" Tamara said.

"Mom, I can't take it anymore." Zara tried to hold her mother's hand which then made her grimace even more in pain.

"Patience first. If it's not treated right away you won't be going to school tomorrow."

Zara finally gave in to her mother. His eyes closed strongly feeling the pressure from that soft hand. Seeing Zara's face flushed red, Ran smiled faintly. The man was a little amused.

"I'm done, I'm bi." said Ran.

Tamara prevents. "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" tanya Ran was confused.

"Help him up the stairs, if you need to carry him!" pinta Tamara pointed at her daughter.

Zara rounded her eyes for not accepting. "Mother." said quickly.

"Just accept it. Come on Ran." Tamara said in a mouthful.

Zara snorted softly while shaking her head. There was a nervousness crashing at him. But unexpectedly Ran just lifted his tiny body.

"Ah, my goodness." said Zara.

Ran looked indifferent. The man focused on carrying Zara's body up one by one stairs. Zara began to close her eyes in embarrassment.

After a while, they finally reached Zara's room. Slowly Ran dropped the girl on the bed. The man then straightened his body and looked at Zara. Zara looked clumsy when she found Ran staring at her.

"Do you need anything?" ask Ran.

Zara who had been looking down immediately raised her head to look at the man. "It doesn't seem to."

And that very second his heart was pounding fast again. Because Ran wears a charming smile. Not wide but not flat.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ask Ran again.

"Hm." replied Zara timidly.

"So you're so cool grimacing that you forget to eat. I'll get it for you. Wait here!" ran then passed.

Zara looked down inside. This absurdity made him feel extremely embarrassed. Thankfully no one knows. A few minutes later Ran returned with a tray of food on it. The man handed the tray to Zara.

"Eat. Next time do not imagine when you are on the stairs." said Ran and then moved.

Zara. 'Geez, he even knew I was imagining. I'm really embarrassed.'
