"Come in!"
Alliando spoke again in an urgent tone. His face wrinkled impatiently, probably annoyed that I was still standing where I was like an idiot.
"Hey!"
Alliando snapped his fingers in front of me, making me who was deep in thought slightly jolted in surprise.
"Come on, quickly!"
"But.. But.."
Before I finished saying my sentence, Alliando immediately grabbed my hand and led me into that very large fabric shop.
"Welcome young man, can I help you?"
A middle-aged woman with a very fashionable appearance approached me and Alliando. She smiled kindly as she looked at us enthusiastically.
Alliando then let go of his hand in mine. He then approached the woman who introduced herself as Rowena. They walked a little away from me and started talking. He even took something out of his bag.
As soon as Alliando
"Good morning, Sir"I greeted Alliando who was standing in front of the door with his face still very sleepy. He yawned widely before turned around. Then, he walked in and left me standing at the door. All right, let's assume he's invited me in.I entered the apartment, immediately took the apron and prepared a simple breakfast. Meanwhile Alliando chose to go back into his room. Of course I don't really care what he's doing in the room. I just focus on doing my job so that everything is finished soon.Especially now that I feel a little sleepy because last night I stayed up late to finish an example of a headband and wristband using the materials Alliando provided. Luckily, Mom still keeps the sewing equipment, which Mom says is a legacy from Grandma."Stop rubbing your red eyes, you really look like a zombie now!"Alliando's grunts made my hand which was rubbing my eyes to get rid of sl
I rubbed my eyes many times, still couldn't believe what I was seeing."Did I see wrong?"I mumbleBut, no matter how many times I rub my eyes, it still doesn't change anything in front of me. The headband really looks perfect on Alliando's head. Ah, I think Alliando is suitable to volunteer as a model. Even the sparkle of his sweat dripping and soaking the headband made it even more attractive. “Wow, this is the first time I've seen Alliando wearing a headband. And the headband looks really cool! Do you know the brand that produces the headband?” "Um, no. But I'm sure, the headband must be very expensive!” I tried hard to keep my lips from smiling when I heard the conversation of two female students standing right next to me. It felt like there were butterflies dancing around me when I heard them praising my headband. Not only them, I also heard some male stud
"Are you sure you can go home alone?"Andreas handed me my bag which he brought from class. Since my head was still a little sore earlier, the school nurse advised me not to go back to class and wait until school was over in the infirmary.I nodded my head and took my bag from Andreas' hand then put it on."Are you sure?"Andreas asked again, his face still very worried. And again, I only nodded my head.Actually Andreas offered to take me home. But I turned down the offer. The reason? Of course because I have to go to Alliando's apartment before I go home."Okay, then, let me accompany you to the school gate"Andreas said and this time, I decided to accept his offer. All the way to the gate, Andreas and I just kept quiet and didn't speak.After arriving in front of the gate then I bowed my body towards Andreas while saying"Thank you for helping me today. And sorry because you have to t
Huh?I made her life like living hell? Was she delirious when she said that?Though the memories of my previous life are still vivid in my brain. And not a single memory fragment in my head shows that I made Lily's life a living hell."Don't you have other activities besides daydreaming on the side of the road like this?"A familiar voice came from behind me, making me immediately turn my head with bad feeling. Yup, my guess was right, Alliando was already standing behind me with his annoying face as he always showed. He was still wearing the basketball uniform he used to wear, making me subconsciously stare at his head and hands. Suddenly a feeling of disappointment rose in my heart. He doesn't use my accessories anymore.Plakkk!!I slapped my cheek hard. How can I be disappointed because of something so trivial like that?. After all, what's so special about Alliando using my accessories?. Please, w
"So you prefer that woman over me?""Oh Lord! I became suspicious, perhaps that woman’s daughter is your flesh and blood!”“If you prefer her, I'd rather just die! Come on, All!! Follow me!""You won't betray mom, will you, All? You're different honey, you're different from your father.."“No All!! Don't leave mommy!! No!!!"Beep..Beep..Beep..Beep..Alliando opened his eyes wide with ragged breaths. Sweat soaked all over his body, even though the air conditioner in his room was still on normally."Huh, that dream again..."He muttered as he sat up, brushed his hair for a moment before burying his face between his knees. Even after all these years had passed, the events of that night were still vivid in his head. Haunted every night, as if to become a chain that restrains his freedom. If only that night Alliando didn't act
“Thank you for your hard work, guys. Now we just have to wait for the festival activities to finish and we'll get a pretty pleasant reward from the principal!!"Siena spoke in front of the festival committee meeting room with a face full of confidence. Applause and cheers rang out after Siena finished her speech. After being reborn, I can understand what is the reason behind Siena's popularity. Friendly and fun, two things I used to crave. I always wished I was born with a fun and sociable character. Ah, but my mother once told me that when I was in elementary school, I was a cheerful and fun child. Mama said, I became quiet and introverted after my father died.All the committee members started walking up to Siena and talking to her. Meanwhile, I just stood where I was, staring at the table next to me which was empty without Alliando's presence. It seemed he was working on something important until he missed the last meeting of the fe
Urrgh..Alliando slowly opened his eyes, then immediately furrowed his brows as his head throbbed. Ah, as usual, he fell asleep again while looking at the photo album that became a 'sad relic' from his parents. He stared at the photo again for a few seconds before muttering"I am thirsty.."He muttered as he stood up, only the next second he immediately stopped his movements when he felt something fall from his shoulder. He just realized that his body had been wrapped by a thick blanket. Not only that, there was also a cup of hot chocolate on the table and a note written in a handwritten that Alliando knew very well.'Someone in the past had gone to great lengths trying to find an invention called 'bed'. So stop sleeping on the table and use the bed'Unknowingly a small smile tugged on Alliando's lips once he finished reading the note. He then took a cup of chocolate that was still puffing smoke, indicating that the drink ha
"Thank you"I did not respond to the woman's words who were now standing after finishing collect her things. My mind suddenly went blank, like there was a big rock blocking my mind from moving like usual. I was silent for a long time before finally someone shook my shoulder and made me gasp in shock.“Sha!! Shasha!!”"Huh?"I looked at Andreas who was shaking my shoulder with a worried look. My mind is now moving again, with hundreds of questions that immediately hit my head. Oh, that woman! I immediately stood up and started looking around the cafe area with a panicky eyes. Trying to find that woman.I found her!That woman had already stood up from her desk and started walking with a man towards the exit of the café.No! I can't let that woman go! I must not waste this opportunity and find the answer to a mystery that until now was filled with black shadow.I quickly ran towards th
