"krekkk" the door opened, I lifted my face which was downcast to see the figure of a man with puffy eyes approaching me
"Brother Alan, why bro?"
I can see clearly, brother Alan is holding back his tears because his eyes are really puffy and his nose is also red
"You were called by Alex to come downstairs."
"Brother Alan are you crying?"
Of course, he was just silent out of shame but I don't know why he was crying. I shuddered after being asked to face Alex directly, it felt like facing an angel of death but what can I do but step down the stairs because Alan is standing right behind me
"bro, I'm scared." Honestly, finally because I can't contain my fear of the polar man who is now transforming into an angel of death
"it's okay." The answer is short but it still can't calm me down a bit
"virisya." The call made me shiver with fear, my body felt stiff to move, I felt like using a disappearing move so as not to face him who was sitting reading the newspaper in the main room, step by step even though slowly but still getting to the goal
"Oh, that's really fast."
I stood in front of him who was holding the newspaper, I looked at the slightly open door making my brain work to run away from the house I ran my right hand I already held the door to open wider
"Where are you goin?"
My resolve collapsed in an instant, disappeared just like that struck by his heavy voice but sounded like a little angry made my body stiffen and turned to look at him and chuckled
"Hehehe hehehe. Want to close the door uncle."
Honestly, I got goosebumps watching him crossing his arms across his chest with his stern eyes looking at me wanting to run away
"Here, sit down." The order
I walked up to him with goosebumps and very weak legs
"Is this the last day I live on earth, uncle?"
"hah?"
He raised his eyebrows confused making me shut my mouth immediately I feel guilty for what I said
"sit,"
I took a seat away from him, making him look at me displeased
"Why are you sitting there, sitting here."
I shook my head firmly to make it clear that I was afraid of him who now clearly looks like a demon that wants to eat its prey
"I don't want uncle, I'm afraid!" Obviously I vehemently refuse
"I'm not going to bother you here first."
I got a little closer to him it felt like my heart was slower than usual giving me pain in my chest and sweat that kept flowing
"So say-" I immediately cut him off
"I'm sorry uncle, I don't promise that anymore. won't be late for school again, really." I show both fingers while "piss."
"Could you not cut me off, virisya?" this time he spoke in a higher tone than before
"Yes uncle, hehe sorry."
Silence, no one spoke until he finally spoke again
"Who gave this card?" He played the card that was in his hand now putting on a disappointed face
"b-b-brother Alex oops i mean brother Alan. Sorry uncle, I'm nervous"
"who?"
"bro Alan, uncle."
"You do know what this card is for?"
"To buy ice cream and play at the mall, maybe?" I saw Alan's brother, who was now patting his forehead, his face was clearly visible whose expression looked chaotic "hehe" I chuckled again
"Why did Alan give you this, you know?"
"for fun?" I saw Alan's brother again patted his forehead he looked very worried and his eyes were holding back tears it felt like this was his last day seeing the world
"Oops, virisya don't make me increasingly a main meal brother Alex," Alan muttered quietly but I can still hear it
"Shut up Alan." bro Alex's cold orders made us both shut up tight with goosebumps limp
"So you use this for fun?" he continued showing the card with a disappointed face
"bro Alan said I can use this card to buy whatever I want."
"Is that right Alan?"
bro Alan just kept quiet, he didn't know anymore where his anxiety was which he had to hide because now his anxiety was very clear
"What you're doing is right, bro Alan doesn't want me to be scared here. bro Alex knows that I'm scared, after all, Alex doesn't care about me at all." I said defending brother Alan who had been looking very worried
Silence enveloped us all again, we were silent for each other until finally Alex spoke up
"You hungry?"
What he said left us all dumbfounded, his face looks a little sorry for something
"Alan, I'm waiting for you in my room." The shortcut
before bro alan walked away, i held alan's hand i looked at him with a pitiful look
"bro Alan, take it easy bro. I will definitely pray for you if your life is extended by God."
Alan chuckled he rubbed my head and walked up the stairs to obey Alex's orders. It's been over an hour they don't show any signs of life making me climb the stairs to get the cellphone in my room, while walking into the room with my high curiosity I approached the door of Alex's office to hear what they were doing in there , their voices don't sound very clear from inside
"It's my fault because I didn't take good care of him. Alan, sorry to bother you."
“It's all because we're not used to strangers in this mansion, plus I'm not used to taking care of teenagers yet.”
"Alan, I just don't want him to lose his father figure and become a teenage girl who has no rules and becomes a naughty teenage girl."
"You love him, don't you?"
Brack!!! Alex loudly put his hands on the table showing my shocked face half to death
"I understand, Alex."
What Alan said made me not understand at all what he meant by the sentence "understand" I was quite silent and concluded that Alex was not at all happy with my presence in this mansion, I walked into the room to put the cellphone on the nightstand tidying everything up clothes in a bag and sitting pensively on the floor of the room
"knock knock knock" a knock sounded clearly from outside my bedroom door
"Yes bro." I saw the face of kak alan which showed a sweet smile
"Let's eat together," he asked, making me quite speechless
"No, I'm not hungry yet."
"impossible."
I clearly look like a sad and anxious child feeling guilty for what I gave to those two boys
"Sya, why?"
"It's okay bro, I just want to tell you honestly, Alex."
"okay."
I walked down the stairs with heavy steps and a sad face looking at my feet who stepped forward looking for someone who made me sad, I found him eating on the dining table
"bro Alex," I called in a sad voice holding back tears
"Hmm?"
I saw him stop what he was eating on the dining table
"I want to tell you something, bro."
"why?"
"I've decided, I want to live alone."
It was clear that Alex didn't pay attention to what I said, he continued to eat voraciously while I saw Alan, who was crying sadly.
"Why are you sya, are you uncomfortable living here?"
"It's not like that, bro, I just don't want to stay here and be a burden to you two."
I turned to see Alex, who didn't really care about what I said, he added rice and side dishes to eat like someone who was enjoying their food.
"It's useless if I tell you, it's not considered the same as Uncle Alex. annoying!!"
I walked up the stairs to get my luggage bag and carried it down the stairs
"'bro, I'm going." say goodbye, which of course is forbidden by alan
