"Who's Ella's boyfriend?" Jhon put on a serious face while asking his daughter that.
Moreover, because in his home there is a foreign man who is currently visiting without Jhon's knowledge.
"Uncle.." Rain stood up slightly nervously when he saw the presence of Jhon who looked a little scary. The man came without a sound.
And it felt like they were being caught doing something bad. The man's gaze made Rain feel that way.
"I'm sorry if I visit at a time like this." Rain made a sound again, but this time it was accompanied by a slight smile.
"We're just discussing papa. Rain was telling me about one of our friends on campus." Seir immediately takes over the conversation because he knows how his papa behaves if Rain misspokes.
"Just Rain..?" Seir smiled awkwardly as he asked Rain to support his story. But the man seems to have his own plan.
"Ah. it seems so.." Rain chimed in on Seir's words. Despite the truth, Rain is eager to say that he is asking Seir to be his lover.
Should he do that now?
John frowned doubtfully at the words of his daughter as well as Rain. "Looks?" John started to smell something unusual. His daughter looks nervous. Seir doesn't usually show the expression he is now.
Her daughter who was as calm as night and always confident with her every word was now looking uneasy.
"No need to think about papa. It's nothing." Seir re-routed the conversation. It's ridiculous to have to tell Rain's request to him, especially about the bet. Seir alone already felt ridiculous let alone his papa.
"Papa came alone?" Seir took Jhon's briefcase and placed it on the table.
"Yes. Looks like it, do you need to bring someone else dear?" Goda Jhon's. And Seir knew which way the conversation was going.
That's why Jhon only gets a look full of objections from his daughter. Seir doesn't want anyone else to come into their family, at least for now. They still have to fix things from the beginning, and new people won't help.
"Papa knows baby. Papa was just kidding." Jhon hugged his daughter briefly and kissed Seir on the forehead. John didn't want his daughter to think. He just wanted to flirt, that's all.
Seeing how Jhon was treating Seir Rain could only be silent and there was a hint of envy in his heart. Slowly Rain began to realize something. Seir and Jhon's relationship isn't what Rain thinks it is.
Stupid if he still thinks Seir is the housekeeper of this big house after seeing everything.
Despite the fact that Seir did everything alone, and even until now there was no one else in the house besides the three of them. Despite that, Rain is convinced that Seir is the owner's daughter.
Ah, embarrassing. How could he make such a mistake..? stupid you Rain! You always mess up. See what you've been doing all this time? the housekeeper? hah, that's right! silly to.
My God, will Seir forgive me? I have lowered his pride. How'this?
Long enough Rain dissolved with his mind starting to mess up. Besides feeling embarrassed, Rain also felt guilty. To the extent that he did not realize Seir had moved and was standing next to him.
"Papa must be tired, come in, I'll prepare dinner. Besides Rain also wants to go home." said Seir touching the soft hand Rain made Rain slightly jerked. Now Rain's mind is starting to go back to where it should be.
"Me?" once again Seir cast a commanding gaze at Rain, hinting clearly that Rain should obey whatever Seir said.
Rain was amazed by the reality he received. Seir was the only girl who dared to do something like this to her.
"Rain..?" Seir slightly sharpened his voice as Rain did not respond to his words. Seir's gaze this time was truly like an indisputable command.
"Ah. Yes Uncle. It seems like it's too late in the afternoon. I have to go home now." Rain smiled, and caught a hint of relief on Seir's face. Has something like this calmed Seir down? Rain thought back to Seir.
"Eat night here Rain. Verrel will be here soon." Jhon is back. And once again caught the strange reaction of his daughter.
"Verrel?" reset Rain.
"Yes. Aren't you guys friends? Verrel was also Ella's childhood friend.." Jhon smiled then took back his briefcase. While Seir was just the opposite, he could only close his mouth tightly while taking a deep breath.
"Papa's gonna go up and change, you're gonna relax." Jhon blinked his eyes with a small smile.
"You guys are friends?" rework Rain after Jhon disappears behind the stairs. Seir didn't think that his papa would say such a thing to Rain.
Though usually papa Seir is a person who does not talk much especially to strangers like Rain, but why now his papa does something like this.
"Well, that's it." Seir didn't want to over-think everything. Whatever Rain thinks is up to him, Seir doesn't want to worry about it.
"Seir, I'm sorry." Rain held Seir's hand as the girl wanted to go towards the pantry. Seir was unmoved, but his face already showed what he thought of Rain.
"About me calling you a housekeeper back then. Ah, it's possible until just before I witnessed the interaction between you and Uncle." Rain explained.
He must straighten things out before the misunderstanding between them drags on.
Rain also does not want, if Seir considers himself shameless, and likes to think arbitrarily. Ah, did Seir really think so now?
"Ah, about that. Forget it." Seir doesn't want to confuse misunderstandings that he didn't start. Seir doesn't even feel obligated to tell anyone he meets, including Rain.
Others can think of anything about themselves, and that doesn't matter. Seir just wants to have a quiet life.
Rain smiled with relief when Seir did not mind his bad attitude in general. It turned out that Seir was just a stubborn arrogant girl. Vindictiveness is not the nature of the girl. Mercifully.
"Now, tell me." Rain is now interested in Seir's childhood and his best friend Verrel.
Rain remembers that Verrel also often told about his childhood friends when they were in the private room. Even Bruro also remembered the story very much.
Recalling how excited Verrel was every time he told his childhood story, Rain memorized the storyline.
Even today, Verrel still tells about it; about his childhood best friend who was very quiet and could not get along with others, but always be sweet when with Verrel.
Rain also recalled that Verrel often said that his best friend was his first love..
First love? Is Seir the one? the little girl Verrel always tells me about. The first love Verrel still hopes for?
****!
Being aware of all that made Rain move uneasily. His feelings turned uncomfortable. There was something in him that started to make Rain piqued. Is all of that story true? Seir and Verrel?
Did Seir also consider Verrel as his first love? but what's wrong? it's just a story in the past. Hid.
"You don't need to know that story. We were friends, and Verrel was the only friend I had." Seir turned to leave Rain.
"Is Verrel your first love?" Rain could not help but ask. He should know how the girl thought of Verrel all along. What if all of this is true.. ?
What if the two ever had feelings for each other? and it might still be there until now..
"Why are you asking such a silly question?" Rain riveted. His narrowed eyes began to digest the meaning behind Seir's words.
Ridiculous? not a secret but ridiculous? at a time like this, wouldn't it be more appropriate if Seir didn't want to tell him because it was a secret between himself and Verrel alone?
But Seir doesn't seem to think so. Ah. shit. Is this the result of a broken heart? Rain very quickly understood the meaning behind Seir's words. Verrel is nothing more than his childhood friend. Rain smiled happily as he looked at Seir's serious face.
"Didn't you?" Rain wanted to make sure once again that he did not misunderstand as before..
"I have no obligation to answer that strange question, do I? we are friends and will forever remain that way." - Seir.
To him, Verrel was a precious friend. Seir never even thought about love while with Verrel, because for Seir, Verrel was a special person who was bestowed by God like his father and mother.
"Do you know Seir?" Rain approached Seir and shifted a pinch of hair that was beautifully scattered on Seir's cheeks..
"That's one of the best news I've heard today. Thanks."
