The Ark of Life

One Similarity

"What are you doing, why hide like this?" ask Devan to me.

I didn't expect that he could so quickly already be behind me. As a result, it made me scream like a person in danger.

"...I was looking for you! Keep here I see someone in the dark, I'm curious, so..."

"Hmm, I get it. Then, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"Ah. yeah. For that, I just found out from mom, if you're done with your job!"

"Task!?"

My words just now were too fast, because Devan brought his face closer to me so close to the probing gaze.

So that I answered his words immediately in the head.

"I mean, you've really helped me by preventing that eviction. So I'm here to say thank you." I said as I bowed in gratitude.

"Oh, that's not a difficult thing. I didn't like the government's decision from the start!"

"I'm happy because someone has the same thoughts as me."

I think the government is too quick to decide on a decision that affects the lives of its people.

"You are, do not be as if you are approaching your teenage years so think like that. And it looks like you should come tonight to my room, there's something I want to talk about!"

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't I hear your words wrong just now.Your ka told me to come to your room tonight? Not that that means we..."

"stay. You take it easy because I told your parents about this, and they agreed!"

"Huh..you really can't be invited romantic huh."

As a teacher sometimes Devan is serious, even if it's just the two of us now.

Recalling his words just now there's a chance Devan might need my presence tonight. Yeah, I hope so.

It's just that what bothers me is the words he said earlier that sounded like he wanted to talk to me about something.

It made me wonder what his purpose was.

...

Because of seeing Devan constantly returning messages on his phone I felt that my existence here was not necessary, even like bothering him.

This awkward feeling made me want to leave quickly.

"wait. Since when were you in this room?" devan asked suddenly while holding myself back when I was about to leave, when I had turned around and stepped away leaving him.

Devan wanted me to be honest.

"I just got here!"

But my mouth is not in harmony with the heart that intends to be honest with the circumstances.

It was like a warning to hide the real facts.

"Yes, then you rest first before dinner is prepared!"

"Yes!!"

A sweet smile I showed to cover the nervousness I was feeling, as a result of the lie.

Only then did I leave Devan, who was in need of some time alone to finish his work.

Back through the hallway was quiet, because this inn was specifically for VIP guests, and I only found out a moment ago. As Devan's search continues.

But who would have thought, I saw someone who was heading here from the end of the front hallway there.

When it was close and we both had time to cross paths, he did not greet me at all.

Just passing by with an expressionless face with both hands I saw carrying some books.

Intrigued by the boy I saw just now I stopped my steps. Then turn around to see which way he's going.

And when I turned around, I couldn't find the boy anymore. He seemed lost in silence. It made me feel bad for a moment. Mixed feelings filled me at this moment.

Return to continue the steps that feel heavy to climb the floor of this wood.

"Ehem!"

"Yahoo!!"

"Ma.af, I was daydreaming."

The woman only smiled faintly as I explained the matter just now to her. He showed me a piece of paper with writing.

"I'm sorry my beautiful lady, I can't speak. So I can't talk about anything interesting while taking the lovely lady to the suite. Or say hello just now!"

"It's okay." I said no less smiling at him.

A word from a piece of paper he showed me again.

"It's nice to me. It's just that I just felt bad, so again I'm sorry."

From this woman's expression I guessed that she had a gentle and affectionate personality.

But who would have thought he helped me by accident just now.

When my steps felt heavy he came to see me so precisely.

Eliminating the shadow of the male figure that had made me horrified.

In this suite room I also rest while waiting for dinner time to be prepared.

Unfortunately, I can't stand just waiting around. Especially when the wait was just a few minutes, I felt like I wanted to get out of the room and explore all parts of this inn.

My instincts even say loss if I keep silent while waiting.

Out of the room, I rushed to the place I wanted to go. Through the plan given by the woman, I was able to find out the places within the inn without getting lost.

A library with green shades that can provide peace for visitors who come here.

I also felt something positive in me, which excited me to look for a history book.

Looking and searching, but the history books I'm looking for are really hard to find.

Of course I know why such a book is so hard to find, because the history I want to know is the history that is directly related to the earth.

A civilization long ago that was able to pierce the clouds in the poetry I once read.

There is honestly meaning behind the poem.

"You...!?"

I coincidentally met him again.

The expressionless boy I had previously seen.

He was in the private room I was forced to enter, because someone said that the library guard liked something related to history.

It is also said in his private room has a large collection of history books. There may be a history book I'm looking for.

And sure enough, this private room was spacious enough for a library guard to rest themselves in.

But this time I felt pierced when I saw the sharp gaze of the child.

"What are you doing here? This room you shouldn't be in."

"... I actually want to borrow the book of the keeper of the perpus hehe.."

"Tsk, an outsider like you understands what these books are about?!"

"The reaction to me is so..."

"Listen, I won't allow you to touch these books, so go!" said the boy with a warning tone.

Yep. How else, after all, the nature of this child is perfectionist. But...

"I want to learn about the earth!" I muttered as I walked towards the door.

"Wait!"

"Did you say 'earth' didn't I hear wrong?" asked the boy with a slightly flabbergasted expression.

Actually I found out this boy had an interest in the earth, I found out about it from the books he brought.

All of those books I believe contain knowledge of the earth.

With this I have a way to keep him from driving me away.
