Chapter 4: The Past
"Are you okay ??".
I felt glued when I heard the words and received a helping hand from the man in front of me, my chest pounding and my eyes were not willing to turn away from him either. Somehow in my eyes this man was very similar to Rachel, the memory of Rachel's body scent immediately flashed and recalled back in my head, the stern eyes of this man were also very similar to those of Rachel.
"Hey !!".
The man called me back because I was pensive and didn't answer any questions from him.
"Dam !!". Mumbles.
"Are you okay ??". The man asked me the same question.
At that time I actually wanted to answer that I was okay, but somehow this mouth could not open and make the slightest sound.
"Hahhhh !!". Hela the man. "Please call the doctor in the rest room".
"Good sir".
"Grep !!". After giving orders to one of his bodyguards, the man suddenly lifted my body and walked towards the rest room that was usually used for my company guests.
"Ehh!!?, what are you doing quickly put me down !!!". I immediately shouted and thrashed around in the man's sling, but due to his burly posture my movements felt like nothing to the man at all.
The man looked at me fixedly and then he said.
"You didn't answer my question, I also saw tears streaming from your eyes, so I came to the conclusion that when you fell, it must have been very painful because that's why I'm holding you up to take you to the rest room".
When I heard the man's explanation I immediately realized that there was a misunderstanding between the two of us, along with that I felt something like dejafu running through my memory.
...6 Year before......
The rainy season of the first year that I felt after the city house A.
"Hey hey, where are we going to eat ??".
"How about chilli fried chicken ??".
"May you !!".
That rainy season I had no friends at school, I was half dead adjusting to the school environment to make friends, but somehow I still can not blend with them even though it has been two weeks since I went to school at this school.
"Tringgggg !!!!".
The sound of a bell ringing signifies that the lesson is over and today I can't find any friends.
"Hufff !!". Hela ku while stepping out of class, when I was outside the classroom I also realized that currently heavy rain was falling outside.
"Ahhhhhh !!. It was raining today, I didn't even bring an umbrella".
I grumbled in my heart while looking out the window soaked in rain. At that moment I heard the sound of a beautiful melody mixed with the sound of rain.
"Hmmm what is melody ??". I asked in my heart. Because of great curiosity I followed the melody and I arrived at a music room.
"Very beautiful".
I was immediately amazed when I heard the melody clearly. "Rack !". I opened the door from the room.
As I opened the music room door, a black-haired man turned to look at me, I was immediately stunned with an overwhelming nervous feeling, I didn't expect that there would only be that guy in the music room.
"Who are you ??". The man asked me with a cold tone and a sharp eye.
"I-I just accidentally heard the melody you were playing, so I. I followed it".
When answering the question from the man I was nervous half to death so as to make my sentence brick.
"Hmmm".
The man only responded to my sentence like that. Unlike what I expected, the man only muttered after hearing my explanation and then returned to his previous job.
At that time I felt so stupid because I knew that the man did not want me to exist, but somehow my legs did not want to step out of this music room.
"Ooohh!!, Yaampun what's with my legs ??".
"hey !!".
Didn't realize the man was calling me.
"Yes-yes what's wrong ??".
I answered nervously.
"Do you want to play this??". the man thrusts a violin at me.
"Emmn I can't play it".
"Why can't it ??".
"Aghhhh !!".
I felt a little annoyed when I heard the vague man's words. The truth is that he asked me why I couldn't play the violin, wasn't the answer obvious because I had never learned how to play it.
"I never learned how to play that thing". I answered a little bit.
"But you're the best kid in school, right ??".
"You know where it's from". I was again shocked by what this man in front of me was saying.
"Every year this school announces who its best students are, have you forgotten ??".
"Ohh yes I forgot".
"Then why can't you play the violin ??".
"Because I was never given a music study permit, I was only required to be great in academics".
At that time somehow I found it very easy to tell about my life to the man I did not know, though all this time the story of how the life I live is the biggest secret and only known by 3 people.
"I'm sorry, I'm so confiding in you".
"No problem, why don't you go home ??".
"Hmmm??, that".
"Aren't you carrying an umbrella ??".
I don't know where that guy's guess came from.
"Ah !, yes.. ha..haha".
I laughed awkwardly as I held back the shame.
"Huffff!!, let's go home together !".
"Ehhhh no need!!, I can wait for the house driver to pick me up anyway".
"No problem, I'm going home too".
The man held out an umbrella to my hand.
Having no choice but to accept the umbrella given by the man.
"Te.. thanks".
"Yes".
Me and the man walked out of the music room and into the school exit. As long as the two of us walked towards the exit gate the atmosphere became silent and awkward, this man beside me was like a stone that had no mouth, the man was so calm and quiet that I was unceasingly nervous. But in that silence...
"Bruk !!!".
I was nervous when I slipped a puddle of water until I fell.
The man who heard my voice fall immediately looked back and approached me quickly.
"Hey!!!, you're not papa ??".
The man asked me with a worried face. But due to his shy ranking I did not answer the question from the man at all.
"Hey !!". Shouts once again.
"Ck!!, whatever !!".
Because I did not answer the slightest question from the man, he became panicked and suddenly lifted my body just like that.
"Ahhhh!!, what are you doing quickly put me down".
"Can't!!, you didn't respond to me in the slightest, so I thought it was possible that you had a head injury".
"I'm not hurt !!". I screamed while thrashing in his arms. But the man just kept silent and kept holding me to the UKS room of the school.
"Geez!!, this man misinterpreted the events when I was silent earlier".
