Chapters 01. Replacement Lantern

"SISTER KENZOOO!!!"

A loud screech rang out from Vanessa's lips. The beautiful girl is now running towards a sports car that just stopped in front of the big house owned by the Halian family. All the guards there immediately turned their heads, although this was not a new sight in the house. At least, since the departure of Mr. Kenzie, the owner of the house, to the Swiss state a few months ago.

"Don't run, it'll fall!" remember Kenzo who got out of his sports car.

Without answering Kenzo's words, Vanes immediately banged his body and hugged the man tightly. "Sister Kenzo forgot yes, I'm an adult now. Looky!"

Vanes rewinds his body a step, then spins in front of the man he loves. His appearance does look quite mature, even though he still wears a high school uniform. All that he did to get the love of Kenzo. Vanes is willing to change his appearance and personality to be much more mature than teenagers his age.

Funny, isn't it?

That he did so that Kenzo did not feel ashamed to have a young girl lover like him. With their age gap of eleven years, Vanes felt he had to change his appearance, in order to be a little equal to the age of Kenzo. Amazingly, the girl was able to do so and managed to make Kenzo love her.

"Well, you're an adult!" Kenzo smiled proudly, then rubbed the top of Vanesa's head at a glance.

"But I think there's less." Vanes pursed his lips, staring at the unsatisfactory parts of his body in his view. "Should I raise her?"

Kenzo frowned confusedly. "What?"

"My face!" Vanes answered kontan, without shame, which immediately made Kenzo gawk, dumbfounded. "Yesterday I saw a new neighbor operating dad emph."

"Don't fuck around, you're still in school! Focus on your school and don't think about anything else!" reprimanding Kenzo after silencing Vanes' mouth with his hand.

"Oh come on, brother, the results are good, Brother will love it later!" persuade Vanes after removing Kenzo's hand. Then it was spoiled in those big hands, hoping that this time Kenzo would agree.

"Are you crazy?" Kenzo took off the hand that was still writhing on his arm. The operation? The longer Vanes's request gets the strangest. Kenzo himself did not understand the way the girl thought. "Why do operations? Now that it's this big, what else would it be? Coconut fruit?"

He was still inexhaustible, why did Vanes always ask for something far from what an eighteen-year-old girl should ask in general?

What was I expecting? Looking at the one I have never seen before, how can I like it! This little boy!

"It's not that big either!" Vanes pursed his lips again, annoyed. Don't know just Kenzo, how small he's got now. Vanes even had to use a foam blocker so that the two pets looked more contained.

Kenzo was only able to shake his head inexhaustibly. So obsessed is Vanes to become an adult, so all things will the girl do in order to be the perfect partner for him. If Kenzo doesn't ban it hard, maybe Vanes has already made a lot of changes to his body through surgery.

Luckily, Kenzo was able to resist the curiosity of Vanes. Until now, the girl had never had surgery to change her body shape. Only, the girl always did anything to make her body look perfect. He even always wears something that will make him look much more mature than his actual age.

What can I do? Kenzo realized it was his fault. Had he not rejected the stubborn girl's love for the reason of the age difference, maybe now Vanes would never have been obsessed with the word adult.

Before the departure of both parents Vanes first, Kenzo always considered Vanes was only a sister. Besides being eleven years old, since childhood, Kenzo already considers Vanes as a younger brother. It was all because he was already considered a child by both Vanes' parents even before Vanes was born into the world.

"That's it, there's no need to talk about that anymore. Get in the car now, you'll be late for school!" kenzo's word as he opens the car door.

"Ah well, Brother Kenzooo..," whined Vanes. Inevitably he must get in the car, before Kenzo gets angry.

Without even listening to his girl's whining, Kenzo closed the door and circled the car. Time is getting late, plus the condition of the streets are sometimes jammed, Kenzo does not want it to make Vanessa late to school.

"Shall I cut my hair?" Vanes asked while styling his hair, in front of the glass available in the car.

"No!"

"I think it's less interesting" Vanes said.

"Who said?"

"I."

"Your hair is short enough, and what else? You know I don't like—"

"Good God, I forgot! So how's dong? Kenzo likes long hair!" Vanes monologued with excitement, until unconsciously cut off Kenzo's speech. Of course he panicked, after realizing what kind of hair women Kenzo liked.

Realizing that he had mistakenly said, Kenzo was only able to close his eyes while cursing himself. You idiot!

"Ouch! How can I forget, how. No, I have to find a way. What if I use a wig?" thought Vanes was fast.

"Ssssttt Vanes stop!" Kenzo put his index finger to his lips, telling Vanes to shut up. "You don't have to wear a wig or anything like that, you're beautiful as it is. Enjoy your youth and behave like a high school boy!"

"It can't be dong Kak. I want to be a grown-up, if I'm any, when will Kenzo's sister marry me!"

The car he was riding suddenly stopped, Vanes pushed forward because Kenzo braked suddenly. The man was surprised after hearing Vanes' words, the girl could have thought of getting married at a young age.

"Isn't that?" Even Kenzo had not thought of getting married. But steadily, Vanes just nodded confirming.

"Yes, I want my sister to marry me as soon as possible! If you can, today can be."

Vanes grinned wide. For a long time, he wanted to marry Kenzo. He is not satisfied with his current relationship. They do look like lovers, although Kenzo has not confirmed it in the first place.

"Vanessa Halian." Kenzo looked into the eyes of the girl before him.

"Yes," said Vanes enthusiastically. If you have called his full name, Kenzo will usually talk about something important. It's possible that Kenzo will say his decision to marry him soon.

"Your lipstick is a mess" said Kenzo.

At once Vanessa rounded her eyes, then quickly stared at the glass. In fact, what Kenzo said was not true. Lipstick used is not messy let alone excess color. Where possible? He always wears the right lipstick color when at school, although it will still be caught by BK teachers.

"Don't talk about anything weird, you haven't graduated from school!" continued Kenzo while touching the forehead Vanes.

"But Brother, I'll soon be ...."

"I'll marry you, but ...." Kenzo hung up his words.

"But?"

"When you're ready!" answer Kenzo. He drove back to his car, without seeing the expression on the girl beside him.

"And I'm ready, so .. let's get married!" A smile of happiness was etched on Vanes' lips.

"Yet, you're not ready!" kenzo.

We can't get married now, baby. Just wait, I will definitely marry you after graduating from school!

Kenzo smiled faintly, looking at Vanes who was nagging after getting rejected for the umpteenth time. It seems that the girl can't wait to get married soon. Kenzo still watched the girl's behavior. Her tiny lips were still moving, along with the words of annoyance she was making.

"Until when should I wait, Brother Kenzo? I love you so much, but ...."

Vanes' speech stopped. Up ahead, a girl in a school uniform was walking across. Vanes felt like he recognized the girl's face. While he was unaware, the car Kenzo was driving was still traveling at an above average speed.

"SISTER, IT'S VINIE!" Vanes turned his head, realizing his words were unable to resuscitate the man beside him. "SIR KENZO, AWAAASSSSS!"

This time Vanes' screams were able to resuscitate Kenzo from the reverie. But unfortunately, too late, the distance between the car and the girl in the school uniform was already very close. There was no chance for Kenzo to brake without injuring the girl. In a shocking situation like this, Kenzo was only able to turn his steering wheel in any direction.

"Aaaaaa....."

The car went uncontrollably. Almost hit several vehicles that crossed in opposite directions. There were several loud collisions when the car grazed the road divider, and meandered in an uncertain direction.

Until finally, the car stopped unfortunate crosswise on the road suddenly, after previously grazing the road divider. It was unexpected that it made Vanes slammed out and broke the windshield of the car. Kenzo was surprised, it turns out that since Vanes did not use his seatbelt.

"VANESSAAAAA...!"

Too late, the girl was already lying in the middle of the road in a bloodstained condition.

While on the other hand, the girl who was hit by Kenzo's car was in the same position. Only, the wounds on his body were not too severe. Until when a woman approached the girl, behind the crowd that began to fill the streets.

"Are you okay, Lantern?"

Grimacing in pain in some parts of the body, the girl asked in confusion. "You know my name?"

The woman smiled as she glanced at the long name embedded in the girl's white shirt. "Woman Princess Lantern, that's your name, isn't it?"
