The Ark of Life

Surprising News

When the romantic situation will continue at a certain point, unwanted things suddenly startle me and Devan.

Marin who was working as a maid suddenly appeared in the living room. Though I remember if before mother told Marin to come out with them.

Positive thinking, maybe mom or dad told Marin to get something.

It's just that I was upset because this actually happened at the wrong time, and instead disrupted the moment that I had wanted so far.

Just now after knowing the two of us were about to do romantic activities, Marin left just like that awkward situation.

"I'm sorry Xia, it seems like I was getting carried away. Let's just say it never happened, I promise I won't repeat it!" devan said with guilty eyes, he seemed seriously convinced by his words.

"Eh.. What did you say? Too soon?"

I honestly can't take it. Because it happened just now he was like giving all the wrongs to me. In the end I got the sap at once.

Although I was upset with Marin but I couldn't be angry with her.

Drrtts...

The sound of the phone from the pocket made Devan rush to reach out. He then picked up the call and took a few steps away from me to chat over the call.

I also prepared a plan to neutralize Devan's awkwardness, as a result of him doing int*m smell to me earlier.

I now understand, if Devan said it was deliberately said to protect his wife.

I went to the kitchen to cook something for her, leaving behind a piece of paper "wait for me a few minutes, I want to make you the most delicious soup!"

A few minutes after preparing the ingredients I started to get busy with the menu activities I was going to cook.

Like preparing a pot to boil water and cut ingredients.

When I was about to open a large cupboard that I had not seen before, I was shocked. Because this cabinet contains many ready-to-eat food products and bottled drinks.

"Eh...?? Why do mothers and fathers prepare so many food and drink products? As if they should prepare this for..."

"Xia!"

When I turned around I found Marin who was already in the kitchen with a guilty face and cheeks faintly reddened, probably because of the incident earlier. He must be thinking on.

"Pulse... Marin I'm sorry, you might..."

"No, I should be the one apologizing for interrupting your romantic time!"

"No... we don't want to do the erotic*s, but rather the staring contest!" obviously I'm the one who somehow lied to Marin by turning the facts around.

She's older than me, so Marin should understand that my words aren't easy for her to believe.

"So that's it, haa. I'm relieved, before I thought I kept thinking because I assumed you were doing that, even I thought if you had a special relationship with that upper class man..."

"Hihihi is impossible, Marin. I am sixteen years old, while my sister is far away from me. And we are also hindered by status, which is possible, having a secret relationship hihi.." I explained with a caption that allows strengthening my lie argument.

"Yes, I believe in you Xia. How do you cook what? I'm helping you!"

Now I'm relieved that Marin believed my words. Seeing that smile, I knew that Marin trusted me very much.

"I'm sorry I lied to you, Marin's leg..."

"I want to make some special chicken soup. Um. Brother's help seems to be speeding up the process."

After some time, finally my homemade soup with the help and guidance of Marin was ready to be served. I'll just serve Devan who seems to be waiting a long time just for this.

But when I brought this soup on the tray and headed to the living room, I didn't find Devan's whereabouts.

Yet ten minutes passed he did not show the trunk of his nose, making me rather anxious to him.

And after I looked around for him apparently not in my house, rather, he had not previously gone to the bathroom.

Where did Devan go?

Marin even helped me find Devan outside the house, but the results were nil.

Until I went back to the living room and re-created what really happened to Devan, he seemed to have mysteriously disappeared.

My instincts tell me if the trail will definitely be left in this living room. And sure enough, Devan's trail leads to the piece of paper I used as a message to him.

There's a handwriting I recognize written by Devan.

"Sorry Xia, I can't linger in your residence, there's less bad news about my father. That's why I have to go back. I hope you enjoy your free time in your hometown, send greetings to your father and mother. Again I'm sorry!"

The message on this piece of paper shocked me. Devan left suddenly after knowing the news, which means the problem is too heavy.

I think I should catch up with him, even though it's not a matter of hours that I set foot in the lower class community, my hometown.

Drtts...

The ringing sound rang out in my pants pocket seemed to be coming from Devan's given phone.

I immediately picked it up.

"Xia, you don't catch up with me, I know you will definitely act following your heart. But I don't think you should do it right now! Because this is related to my family. I just want you to pray your best."

"Actually what happened to..."

Tut. tut's...

Devan apparently preferred to hide it from me, regarding his family matters.

I was just a stranger to him.

Though all this time I felt that I was very close to him, and I could already be considered a family. A place to share stories or grievous.

"Xija..."

"He came home from Marin, he said there was a sudden problem with his family!" I muttered who had lost my spirit.

Marin then hugged me while stroking my back, I didn't expect my tears to start dripping.

"It's okay, maybe Devan has another reason why he didn't tell you that in detail!"

I was stunned to hear Marin's words. My tears were long gone and she helped me wipe them.

"Hiks.."

"Udah. cup, cup don't cry anymore. She said she wanted to be a tough girl!!"

"Emm."

Mom and Dad came soon they were so surprised to see me in a state after crying.

In my heart, I actually thank Marin for calming down, only I didn't think she knew Devan's name.

And when I said his name I saw him as if he was so close to Devan. No stranger to his name.

Is this just my feeling...?"
