The Ark of Life

Feel Foreign

Mother's words just made me a little surprised because in fact she asked Devan for help through me.

"Mother knows Mr. Devan's family is in trouble, but this concerns our place Xia. If we leave here with the compensation money, there might be a lot of trouble later!"

I still don't understand about the many problems that mother said, it seems like I need an explanation from father.

"This Xia, it is likely that money no longer holds the pinnacle of power, and will be replaced by something that can make one's survival more assured!"

"But yeah, money can buy that survival?" ask I want to know more clearly the meaning of the words of the father just now.

"Parents have speculated that the government deliberately compensated them because it knew something bad was going to happen, as a result of inflation!"

If I examine further there is a mismatch of father speculation and the government's reasons for compensating the land they will use. But I still don't understand.

"But Mom, I know for myself, Mr. Devan's family may be focused on solving the problem. Moreover, I heard about master Devan's own father. I honestly feel bad!" obviously I'm with mom and dad, not that I don't want to help mom in that way. It's just that it would be too risky to ask Devan for help without knowing the state of his family.

At last she understood, and left after thanking me for what I gave her.

Just like you ignored that and just left.

It was continued by the father who told me to rest because of the holiday opportunity that the Li family gave me.

"Yes yeah, I'll rest first."

It seems like father's advice has a point as well, I need to take a break from the daily routine while working at the Li family residence.

It didn't feel like the day had passed so quickly, hour after hour had passed. Now showing at 14:00, I didn't think I'd been asleep for six hours.

It felt so good that I fell asleep, no dreams at all. I feel refreshed and ready to move back.

At the dinner table I sat down while preparing lunch by putting rice and side dishes on the plate.

After going to bed somehow I was very hungry, so there was an urge to want to eat in large portions.

"It seems that at home there is no one, Marin may be shopping or just out" I muttered on the sidelines chewing food.

After eating I actually had the intention to explore this huge house, which I did not think was my palace.

There are some new rooms and places that I haven't explored or seen in person. Dad said there were a lot of new places in my house, but I had to wait for Dad to guide me.

That's why I thought both times just to explore my own home.

After drinking water after lunch up to five times, my stomach is very full to move.

"Once in a while I eat a lot, next time I have to set a diet to maintain weight."

No harm, no, I'm exploring my house as if it were new. Until I recognize the difference with the previous one. Luckily when I got home I saw the marker from the neighbor's house and tried asking.

Dad told me not to explore this house.

The first room I went through was a room in a long hallway, here there were many rooms that seemed to be left empty.

"Eh. This room seems like the place where Marin rests. Um.. I can guess it from the clothes lying in the dirty clothes!"

Another room that connects to the kitchen seems asthetic and neat. Until I take a picture of myself, which Devan says is called a selfie, I try and show him later.

"But how to record yes, duh.I'm still confused with a cell phone!"

After a few minutes I finally managed to photograph myself, three picks I saw the results were quite satisfactory.

Six more places memorable new places luxury and asthetics I met, in fact I understand the change of father and mother. As if they were not the ones before.

I also do not want this dream-like house to be riled up.

"wait. Did they use the savings I split at payday?"

"No way, mom and dad. I'll ask you later.."

Satisfied exploring I forgot the time if the clock has shown at 16:00, of course they and Marin are looking for me now.

Tap..

Tap..

"Huft... I'm lost!"

I didn't think I could get lost in my own house so wide, and still be a stranger to me. Because of enjoying the beauty in each room while taking pictures, I forgot the route I went.

"Jeez. There's-there's, I'm lost."

"Yes, I went around first. Who knows if I've walked the road I've been on."

Worse yet I forgot the place I had seen before.

There was no other way, I opened my phone and opened a photo gallery. Seeing Devan's handsome face seems to calm me down.

And sure enough, my worry was drastically reduced when I saw her picture while I was thinking of some way.

And I had to wash my face first to get fresh back on the water faucet in the sink.

As I washed my face with this refreshing water, I also heard the soothing song vibes slow.

Makes me enjoy this face washing time that I deliberately linger.

"Myanabelle..."

Even I hummed to the rhythm of the song.

"Hello Xia's.."

"Udah finished the music, but I was enjoying it!"

"Hello Xia? You called me, right?"

"Devan's voice??"

Hearing Devan's voice on the phone that I put not far from the sink, I was made to prance.

"Yes, yes sir, I mean Devan."

I grabbed the phone that I put in my ears felt wet.

"Why do you call me, do you want me to come home? I'm ready!"

"Huh, didn't you call me first? I won't let you go home yet.."

"You want to fuck me, yeah, I know you called bweee..."

"Hey. I'm serious, I'm really not interested in calling a haunted little kid like you..."

Hearing his words I was immediately embarrassed not to dare to speak again, because I understood very well with Devan's tone. He just said it seriously.

"Keep, who called Devan? Was I washing my face just now??"

Honestly, because I knew he didn't call me, I got goosebumps when I looked around.

"Don't this house have ghosts!?"
