At 04:00, go to school.
"And I'm first, yeah,"
I said as I waved to him.
Aidan nodded, letting me go. I immediately boarded the bus that had just come, Aidan waved his hand at me as soon as the bus slowly started speeding. I smiled at him who was starting to lag behind, through the window of the bus.
I immediately pulled out a small notebook that I had prepared last night, then read and understood it carefully. A glance I looked out at the street, to estimate how long I would be there.
Something was troubling my mind, I could not focus on the notes I was reading. I closed my eyes to calm my mind, but it became even more vivid as Aidan kissed me so many times on the roof.
Why is it always on the roof anyway, Aidan you really. ahh also fuss over what milk! I even felt your sweet lips.
The bus stopped, making me open my eyes and find the stop I was going to get off, I immediately pressed the bell to stop and apologized to the bus driver.
"I'm sorry I got off late,"
I said as I bowed to the bus driver who was ready to stop, then immediately went down the bus and breathed a sigh of relief.
Focus Tha, forget about Aidan for a moment. It's my first day of work, don't make mistakes. Okay spirit!
I immediately walked towards the bookstore where I worked part-time, although a little nervous I tried to convince myself that I could do well, after all the boss of the woman.
-*Trieg!
The sound of bells rang when I opened the glass door, finding Ms. Cika who had greeted me with a friendly smile.
"Faster than I thought,"
He said as he got up from the cashier's chair, then walked up to me.
"Yes, I'm trying my best.."
Reply with a smile and bow my head to her.
"Just relax, don't work too hard which is important you are honest."
He slapped my shoulder slowly, passed through me and stopped when he almost opened the door.
"Ah, don't forget to tidy up according to the color on the end shelf there huh, got it?"
Petition me.
"Hey understand, I'll do it well!"
My answer is full of enthusiasm.
"Hmm yeah, I entrusted my shop to you while I was on a blind date, haha yes!"
He said as he passed through the door.
"Good! good luck with the date!~"
I said, bowing after seeing him walk out of the shop.
um, first I have to change my clothes first and then as I have read, tidy up the shelves and arrange the books in uniform colors. The spirit!
I immediately put my bag in the locker next to the cash register, took a paper bag containing a change of clothes. Then, I rushed to the toilet to change clothes.
...
I had no trouble organizing the book according to the title and color, I think this job is quieter and the people who come are also friendly. The calm atmosphere was accompanied by jazz music from the sound system that I played, making people who were sorting books calm down.
After feeling quite tidy, I immediately left the hallway of the shelf full of books and walked towards the cashier table. Because the place is located in the middle of the city, this bookstore is crowded with visitors. I can also clearly see people passing through our store.
"I'll buy this book~"
Said a man taking my eyes off.
"Ah yes, wait a minute,"
I answered as I grabbed the books and typed the price code at the cash register.
"The total is 168,000 grand."
I said to him, followed by the hand of the man who gave me a credit card. I immediately accepted it, and processed the payment.
"Thank you, please come back.."
I said, bowing half to him after the man walked out of the store.
...
The day is getting darker, indicating that my shift today will be completed soon. Staring at the clock on the wall, which was showing at 21:00, I turned to the man who looked like he was still sorting out books.
It was nine o'clock more, had he still not decided which book to buy?
I decided to go to him, to help him find the book he was looking for.
"Excuse me, can I help you?"
My words are friendly.
The man didn't touch my words, he was still staring at books lined up neatly on the bookshelf.
"Ekhem, I'm sorry our store will be closing so-" soon"
"Whispering."
Whatisthis? he just said I was noisy?! obviously I just want to help him.
The man suddenly looked at me, squinted his eyes, looked at me sharply.
Just look around rich at me, it's scary..
I bowed my head after receiving a sharp look from him. The man walked through me, towards the door with both hands in his pants pocket.
After seeing her leave just like that, I suddenly became an emotion myself.
Patience Tha, control your emotions, lately I've been easily carried away by emotions~
I immediately rushed to pick up my stuff and closed the shop, then contacted Madam Cika, to tell her that I had closed the store and locked it properly.
...
Tell Aidan not if I'm done with work?
Still walking towards the bus stop, I watched my phone intensely, hesitating whether to contact Aidan as he asked this afternoon or not.
But on the other hand, I'm still embarrassed and feel very awkward about Aidan, even if it's just sending a message. Because it happened this afternoon, I thought of something strange in my mind.
Suddenly my steps stopped, when I realized there was a figure I knew just came out of the minimarket.
"Helen!"
I shouted a little, then rushed up to him.
"Let's see who this is,"
Helen replied with a smile and patted me on the shoulder slowly.
My eyes looked straight at the man who suddenly approached Helen, standing right beside her while returning my gaze.
I immediately turned my eyes to Helen,
waiting for his explanation when he received a signal from me.
"Bad.. It's Gery, you don't remember and you don't know him at all." Helen was obviously with me.
"The gery? looks like I've heard this name, but where?"
I said while trying to remember the figure of a man in front of me named this gery.
Not finished I thought, suddenly Gery approached me, advancing his face to look at me up close.
"I think I'm trying to remember you."
Helen immediately pulled Gery's body back, keeping him away from me.
"Hey yha... What did you do just now? she's this Agatha Violen tau!" Helen said as she raised her head to look at Gery.
"AGATHA VIOLIN?!"
Gery's chirps suddenly made me surprised to look at him, as did Helen who hit him hard on the back.
..
After arguing long enough in front of the minimarket, we decided to continue the chat in a cafe located not so far from the minimarket.
Tonight seems not so crowded at this cafe, so we can talk freely without having to worry about anyone hearing our chat, like in front of the minimarket.
Slowly I knew Gery, the male figure assigned by the clan leader Jaidran to oversee the existence of Aidan in this world. Gery, as I remember before I've heard his name. Gery was at that moment with me and Aidan when I first entered the world there. What I initially thought was a pet, it wasn't.
Gery purposely cooperates with Helen to exchange information in this world, they are still very confused when they first arrive in this world. Gery especially, with the courage he approached Helen who was both knocked on the ground like himself.
They were aware of each other's identity when they saw the necklace they were wearing. Symbolizes the origin of the clan and the source of their power.
I don't know clearly Helen's relationship with Mrs Ratih, the owner of the parlour. Our conversation was interrupted when people looked at us suspiciously, because of Gery's mistake of using his power to throw the table without the help of his hand. So we were evicted by the owner of the minimarket because it had damaged the table, of course after paying compensation.
"You're really losing power?"
Gery asked suddenly, still very curious.
I replied with a slight nod, then propped up my chin resting on the table, sighing with a face that was not excited at all.
"So, Aidan can still use his power while you can't, so?"
Helen looked at me, after gulping down the drink in her hand.
I nodded back, responding to his question.
-*Kato!
My phone rang for a moment, indicating a message was coming in. I immediately sat up straight, then grabbed my phone and opened the message that just came in.
Aidan: (You still work? until what time?)
I immediately covered my phone as Helen and Gery began to peek.
"Hey! this is privacy tau.."
I said, then I was going to reply to a message from Aidan.
(Have, and now again chat with friends. Sorry did not tell you directly.) *send.
After sending a message to Aidan, my eyes looked at Helen and Gery who were looking at me lazily while gulping down their drinks.
"You guys rambling?"
I asked after noticing their behavior that suddenly became indifferent and then shifted their eyes, refusing to look at me.
*Cato!
The notification on my phone appeared, I immediately read the contents of the message,
Aidan: (Where is it?)
I smiled at the phone, finding Aidan who constantly wanted to know about me.
..
After focusing on my phone for a few minutes, I realized that there were 2 people looking at me coldly.
"My friend you, it must be King."
Knock Helen on me, squinting her eyes.
"Whose king? Aahh. the brat from Violen,"
Gery's sudden speech made Helen glare at him.
"C-ccecunguk said?!"
Helen immediately grabbed the collar of the shirt Gery was wearing, looking at him sharply who was both still sitting.
"Amuahk..!"
Gery groaned while trying to release the grip of Helen's hand on the collar of her shirt, which made her suffocate.
I immediately stopped them, as some of the people in the cafe were staring at us while whispering.
"Hey. stop,"
I said slightly up from the chair, separating Helen's hand from Gery's.
Helen releases her grip, turning to fold her hands under her chest with a super-short look to Gery.
"The king almost shot me because he thought I was a female dog."
Gery slumped with a sour face.
"Female dog??"
Askaqua.
Gery looked at me,
"Yes, I met her in the woods and she thought I was a female dog from behind, she said I was pretty and fluffy."
Obviously Gery.
"Then??"
I'm still curious.
"I turned my body, and then he was surprised and kicked me and hunted me to the point of throwing arrows. B*mad bastard."
"HAHAHAHAHA"
Helen suddenly laughed when she heard Gery's explanation. He held his stomach because he laughed.
I smiled in surprise looking at Helen. Gery throws a roll of tissue at Helen, laughing at her.
"Hey stupid wolf, doggy? how did you find it when you turned the badab to the king?"
Helen asked, laughing.
"Whisper you, shut up?!"
Gery replied a little upset.
"Ululuu, you look a little like uhmm, lady."
Helen slumped while moving her hand towards her chest, then continued with her laugh again.
"Keep, it's on your phone you're in touch with the King?"
Gery asked after not poking Helen's words, turning his eyes lazy then focused on me.
"I'm sending a message to my friend, because I'm going home late."
I answered after finding the right reason.
Helen looked at me seriously, her eyes narrowed towards me.
"You don't have any friends. Which friend to your attention came home late or not." Helen's firmness, it's got me cornered.
Bener too, since when do I have temenT_T
I smiled shyly after Helen found me lying. But if I were to tell you the truth, Aidan, Helen and Gery would be shocked. I have to wait for the right time to talk about my relationship with Aidan right now.
