Dua

There was nothing Rallin could do but buy fast food as a thank you to the handsome man who willingly helped him clean up the house he was going to live in. The two of them are now sitting on their feet in the living room— on the carpet while unwinding. It's a new house, so Rallin doesn't have complete furniture yet, including a sofa. Every now and then, the man stretched his hands, probably feeling tremendous aching from what they had just done for the past three hours.

"I can't give you anything to thank you for anything other than this." Rallin looked at the man who was now drinking coldly with a guilty look. He grimaced when he recalled his sweet mouth had issued a curse for the kind-hearted man. "And .. I'm sorry for swearing at you earlier."

The man laughed. A crisp sounding laugh in Rallin's ears. "What's wrong. This is more than enough," he said. "And as for the curse, I have no objection at all." His black soot gushed towards Rallin, looking flirtatious but also adorable. "Actually, I also often do the same thing when shocked. I'm even worse than you. Know it? I almost strangled my brother for daring to surprise me."

Whether a joke or not, but Rallin was made to open up when he heard the man before him. It wasn't funny at all, but somehow he felt very amused. Could she have turned into a crazy woman after spending nearly three hours cleaning the entire house?

"By the way, we're not acquainted yet. I'm Rallin, whatever you want to call me. If you were, what's your name?"  Rallin held out a hand after she wiped it with a tissue to remove the oil from the fries.

The man returned Rallin's hand. A thin smile re-emerged until presenting dimples on both cheeks. "I'm Naveen. Nice to meet you, Rallin."

Sakura nodded, returning Naveen's smile. "It's nice to meet you too, Naveen."

Naveen looked at the watch on his wrist then hurriedly stood up from his position when recalling one thing. His body looks towering in the view of Rallin who is still sitting comfortably on the floor.

"I have to go now" Naveen said. His face displayed a guilty look as he looked at Rallin. "We'll meet again ... tomorrow?"

Rallin stood up, his eyebrows raised high when he heard Naveen's words. "Yes, I think we'll meet every day after this. Our house is next door." There was a mocking tone in his voice, but Naveen did not mind it at all. Although only met about three hours ago, but according to him Rallin is a woman who is fun and can be used as a friend.

"Alright, I guess I really should go home and get ready now. You see..." Naveen shows his phone ringing aloud as a sign of a call coming in Rallin's direction. "He'll sulk if I'm late to see him."

Rallin nodded in understanding, choosing to walk hand in hand with Naveen until the front porch. "All right, see you, Naveen."

"See you, Rallin." Sasuke waved his hand while the other hand prepared to answer the call from the phone that kept ringing aloud. His long legs stepped hurriedly towards the two-story house that was exactly next to Rallin's house.

In his place, Rallin returned a wave of Naveen's hand. A smile still adorned his lips even as the man's tall body had already disappeared into the towering fence of the house. Rallin felt a little curious about the figure who contacted Naveen.

But soon, Rallin realizes that it is none of his business. Throughout his life, he never bothered to take care of the lives of others. He shrugged his shoulders along with his legs, which were now back walking into the house.

"God... I think I've gone crazy out of curiosity about other people's lives."
