Sweet Dreams: Be a Cinderella Romance

episode 8's

the invited guests have disbanded . Our side did not inform about the drop grandfather . grandfather had a mild heart attack and had to rest in peace . I was in the kitchen sitting in the dining chair . I tendered my arm on the table and put my head on it. I really don't know what to do. Aunt Ann went into the kitchen I memorized the sound of her slow but firm steps .

" miss freya .. return to your room . not good for your health "

" aunty ann .. accompany me .. I feel afraid to be in the room alone "

didn't say much aunt Ann took me up the stairs, back to my room . I met max in the opposite direction . max down the stairs, looked at me with her typical gaze . I lowered my head .

I was sitting on the edge of the bed. Aunt Ann picked up a glass of warm water.I drank it slowly.My gaze was fixed on the max-given star hanger.I really liked the star , long ago when I was a child and often cried looking for mom . aunt ann told me a story about my mother who would be a bright star to accompany my days . that's why when I'm sad I look up at the sky for the stars

but . now the star is in my hadaapn sparkling, very close to me . I took it and held it tightly in my hand . aunt ann accompanied me until I fell asleep .

the next days, Arthur looked like someone else to me . He is no longer a brother who likes to tease his sister . no longer arthur with long hair and random chatter.not a cute arthur anywhere - where to wear his favorite butut t-shirt . Arthur became quiet and spent a lot of time in the reading room . gave orders to people I didn't know at all . dressed neatly and almost in every activity accompanied by Albert who always tailed.Even once or twice Dr. Robert came and talked seriously with him.

I was getting more and more alienated . there were a lot of things I wanted to ask but there was no time left to answer my question . sometimes. Arthur came home until midnight and fell asleep in the room tivi . or sometimes I hear the sound of the car at midnight but in the morning when I get off for breakfast, Arthur is gone .

fortunately Arthur's best friends still stay here. they really can eliminate the gloomy feeling at home .

but something is different today. Arthur went down for breakfast together . his face was also relaxed . maybe all was back again I smiled happily

" sis ..g to the factory? "

" i forbid it" said Nathan ." It's Saturday and we're going to inspect the garden "

" inspection to the garden? " many

" yes .. Do you want to come, freya ? "

" yes I want to . I want to come "

" you're at home aja freya .. it's a forest exactly not a garden. . and very far from here . later passed out again due to malnutrition." said Arthur

" i'm coming along brother .. I need maksa come along, can't nathan? "

" yes. of course "said nathan. "let me take care of him . but this time you have to wear pants will not be able to inspect if you wear a skirt "

" ok I immediately changed clothes "I said quickly, I was really excited this time

before long we were in the rubber forest .we headed to the gathering place of the harvest .there was a small house .usual just for a stopover because sometimes we also have to stay overnight considering the distant terrain and again the car can not penetrate the dense trees . we also had to walk 20 minutes to get to the halfway house .

we walked slowly in the guard of 2 big men and carried sharp weapons.1 man guided our way and another man took care of us. The big man was silent . their views are sharp and cruel compared to them max nothing

" sister .. who are they? " many

" they're rangers. grandpa never get us to go into the rubber forest . because it's far from home .they're rent brothers just to keep watch " arthur said in a soft voice .

" wake up from what? "

" wild animals, maybe "

we arrived . This halfway house is small and rather dirty . really different from our house .

" yap .. we arrive . freya, sit down and rest first "

I looked around .. My feet stepped with my eyes and my curiosity

on the back porch, I saw arthur, julius and Nathan talking in a large room that I assumed was a material warehouse . arthur was talking to a middle-aged man whose hair was partially bleached .the man bowed while talking to his older brother .his hand was holding a weathered wood .his clothes and body looked dirty ,her face was hard between the wrinkles - the wrinkles that were visible on her face . and it scared me .

I approached towards them .but my steps came to a halt upon hearing Arthur's firm voice .

" how can we shed the theft, try to explain "

I could hear Arthur's angry voice but could not hear the old man's voice .he said it out loud .

I shifted to turn around.I did not want to interfere a little with their affairs.I glanced once again at the old man but, instantly my hands covered my gaping mouth.The old man was covered in blood.. his face was up to his clothes . I went straight to them.

" ap .. what happened to this father ??"

" freya.ayo goes into the house and wait in the "julius said

" i don't understand what happened . but treat the father first" I said insistent

" freya in!! " arthur yelled at me. I think this is the first time since Arthur's life has yelled at me

" let's freya, let's go in. "nathan pushed my back with both hands . twisted my body forcefully .

" what's going on, nathan? " let's try to find out

nathan thrust a glass of water at me. I gulped it down quickly I finished half a glass .

" let Arthur take care of it. You should have just stayed at home "

I was silent .

arthur and Julius enter the house .

" we have to get home quickly . It's more dangerous than it looks" said Arthur

" okay we sort this out and we're back .2pm now .we have to hurry so as not to hunt for the night" said nathan

" where's max? " ask arthur again

" he conditioned the guards we hired to tighten the guard you were talking about" Julius said

" fuck ! it turns out to be this complicated . "arthur

I didn't want to ask any further . Arthur finished his work and we rushed back to the car . one of the guard men stayed at the halfway house to guard against the thief again while the other escorted us home .
