My Lovely Cousin's

Chapter 8: What are you doing here?

"It was about to prank but it got pissed on itself." Zara roused her body from the bed.

The girl looked at the alarm clock that was on the nightstand had shown at 01:00 in the morning. He realized that his eyes were exhausted.

"Hoa.. Oh, my God, it's like this hour. I'm so pissed at that shitty creature. I think if it is like this suffering to work on it, then from now on I will give up. It's free, after all, humans just need to be silenced. Well from tomorrow I won't talk to him." Zara said at length.

Then fifteen seconds later his mind changed "But I rarely spoke to him, right? Huh, you little Zara, you idiot."

He put his body back on the bed and turned off the lights and went to sleep. Then he remembered something that tomorrow was a Sunday, a day of relaxing due to school holidays. A smile immediately rose on his face.

"Happy, I don't need to meet Raka hahaha."

Ran was still unable to sleep after an hour of lying on the bed. The man was constantly imagined by Zara's face which he looked at with a sense of coolness. Sometimes he smiled but when he realized he returned to his smile.

"Gosh, what's wrong with you, Ran. Why don't you stop thinking about that girl." she murmured inwardly. Then suddenly his eyes opened.

'Ah, don't-don't I.. No. gabe.. No. gabe.. This can't happen. How could I.. No. gabe.. No Ran.. Don't think of anything.'

Ran began to remove Zara's face from her mind and tried to close her eyes. Fifteen minutes later he fell asleep.

On a cold morning, Tamara was preparing breakfast in the kitchen after cooking for an hour and a half. Ran down the stairs to the kitchen. Seen by the busy Aunt he took the initiative to help her. Soon he stepped up and took the bowl of soup held by Tamara.

"Auntie, let me." she asked.

"Ah, no need." reject Tamara, while keeping the soup bowl away.

"It's okay Auntie." Ran grabbed the bowl of soup that had been kept away from him.

Because she could no longer refuse, Tamara finally handed the bowl of soup while smiling at Ran. "Yes, thank you."

After finishing arranging the dishes and food on the dining table, Tamara was about to go wake Zara up in her room. But Ran prevents her aunt and asks that she wake up Zara.

"Alright Ran. Aunty will wait here." said Tamara and then sat back in her chair.

Ran moved leisurely towards Zara's room. When he got to the room, he started knocking on the door. But there was no answer, and then he knocked again three times. Finally, he decided to open the door of the girl's lucky room unlocked.

Slowly the bed began to appear. Ran continued to push the door slowly and then there appeared a blanket that might be underneath the figure of Zara.

The man tried to swipe to the edge of the girl's bed and pulled the blanket that covered her entire body. Slowly Zara's hair was visible, then down onto her very white face. The man was surprised to see the beauty of Zara's face but he tried not to be tempted.

Then he pulled back Zara's blanket to his shoulder, Ran began to hesitate. He saw the clothes that Zara was wearing that were probably open clothes. Ran gulped. Actually he wanted to stop opening the girl's blanket but somehow his hand kept pulling down the blanket.

Slowly Zara felt like something was pulling down her blanket. Spontaneously the girl opened her eyes and was surprised to see Ran in her room.

"Sister!" said gasping.

Ran was also spontaneously surprised to hear the girl and then he pulled her hand. Frightened Zara sat down and pulled the blanket to cover her body that only wore open underwear.

"What are you doing here?" zara asked with tears beginning to flow and a trembling voice. His feelings are not stable.

Ran gasped at the girl's tears, his gaze pecked at the tears. What has he done?

"I.. I.." said Ran stammered. At once his tongue could say nothing.

Zara again asked "What do you want to do here?"

Ran still could not explain that he just wanted to wake the girl up for breakfast. The man was slaughtered.

"What do you want to do here? Wasn't it enough yesterday that you scolded me? Now you want to do something to me? You're so mean!" zara's voice shook violently.

Hearing that made Ran even more surprised. He looked at the girl in front of him in confusion.

In the corridor he leaned against the wall. 'What was that, why did I suddenly do that? I should have woken him up properly, my gosh I was so stupid, it seemed like he was very angry with me.' Ran muttered then walked down the stairs.

Zara was still silent staring at the door after the man's departure. Not knowing what she felt now, her heart started to rumble but also felt guilty for acting disrespectful towards Ran.

"I shouldn't have shouted in front of him." murmured the girl.

Ran had gone down the stairs until his footsteps climbed into the kitchen.

"Ran you're back, where's Zara?" ask Tamara's mother who has started breakfast.

"Anu.. He had just woken up and was probably now getting ready to get off" Ran replied as he pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Oh so. You little girl." tapped Tamara, understood.

On the sidelines of her feed, Tamara began to tell stories. "You know, Zara was never like this before her father died. He used to be a very diligent and devoted child. But the grief of his father's departure makes him like a man who is impudent. Not even Auntie herself can make it back the way she used to."

Ran nodded as if understanding, he had only digested half of his Aunt's words. Shortly afterwards Zara went down to the kitchen with a careless face. His mother looked and asked.

"Why you, baby?"

"It's okay Mom. I just slept too much." replied Zara trying to cover up what had happened.

'Because of this child, even his mother could lie. It's my fault Ran said in his heart.

"Today I'm going to Aunt Yumna's house. You two stay home. And Ran, you take care of your sister while I'm gone." Tamara said later.

Zara was surprised to make him choke. "Ohhoks.. Ohhok.."

Spontaneous Ran immediately gave him a glass of water. Without thinking long Zara took the water without looking at Ran's face because she could no longer. Finally, he drank half of the glass.

"Why are you there? Can't I come with you? I want to meet Tahira and Saga." asked Zara to her mother in succession.

"Mother will only help your Aunt work there, after all there is no Saga and Tahira. They may be busy in school. You don't have to come."

"But Mom, don't you feel sorry for me, I'm alone and no one takes care of me?" said Zara memelas.

Ran flinched, "Nobody is watching he said? what am I then?"

"No dear. That's not how you should ask. It's like you don't value Ran as your brother. You have to remember, she's here to look after you and take care of you." Tamara glimpsed at Ran's slightly changed face, perhaps offended.

Hearing his mother's words, Zara could only nod in resignation. Because actually he does not want to stay alone with Ran. Especially after this morning and a while ago. The girl was a little awkward.

"Ran, take good care of Zara." mother Zara asked as she passed.

"Good Aunt." replied Ran softly.

Sometime later, Tamara stepped out with her belongings. Seeing that Zara squinted her eyes.

"Will mom go long? Why bring so much stuff?" chirps Zara.

"Yes, I'll stay there longer. Take it easy, Ran will take care of you."

After saying that Tamara also disappeared from her daughter's sight. Zara stared at the passing of her mother.
