Chapter 9 SECRET UNSEEN
He stopped at the beautiful and big house. Mansion? Wow, I never knew someone who has this very huge house. Although Ardent and Alem also have, this is different, decent with a touch of classic. I was amazed at how it looks from the outside. Is this really his house? That is true. He has a higher status compared to me.
“Your house?” I asked him with an unbelievable look.
He did not answer me, he just went straight in the house. I followed home. I knew that I looked like a dog tailing him. I even grabbed the hem of his shirt, like a kid afraid to lose from the place. I was smiling the whole time, looking around with disbelief. This house is so big. I really love to see it.
The centerpieces are overflowing, oversized and when you talk, the speaker will almost echo here. I really want to try to shout and listen to my voice if it echoes in case. I did not do that because Laurent might be turned off. I do not want that to happen.
My mouth was opened because of amusement. The rooms are huge, beautiful and yelling in wealth. He is really hard to reach but why does it seem like there is no one but the waiter? I could not see anyone, parents, sister, brother or any family member? The house is huge. I know that it is sad to live here. You can not even see where they are or if you can it is hard to find them. Maybe they have a telephone in every room so that they can talk to one another. So sad, you need to use technology just to talk with your family.
I am so upset to think that. The distance between the two of us is far. He is very rich and I am just a simple and ordinary woman. I think he is my dream that will never come true.
“Dude!” The tall, white, muscular and handsome man approached. Laurent just raised an eyebrow at him. I thought he was not like this with the people he knew. I was wrong.
“What are you doing here?” Laurent said rudely. “You have something to do, aren’t you?”
The man was about to speak but he saw me.
“I thought you do not want to have a girlfriend?” He asked Laurent.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“She is not my girlfriend.” He talked rudely, he did not even look at me. Laurent… you are hard to guess. I really do not know what you want or you do not want.
I smiled at the man and waved.
“Hi! I’m Anmela.” I held out my hand to her but I was surprised that Laurent accepted it. He was the one who shook his hand with him. I was thrilled by his action, it seems like he does not want another man to hold my hand.
“Resttan Baider, he’s my cousin,” Resttan said while smiling. I could say, he is one of the goddesses. He looks like Laurent, a handsome hot boy of the town.
“Nice to meet you.” I smiled shyly. I have always been shy.
“Me too.” He grinned at me. There was something in his grin. He is not insulting me, right? I stared at Resttan, he was still grinning at me or maybe that was his way of smiling. This one is badboy than Laurent.
Laurent led me to the sofa.
“I will change my clothes,” he said without emotion and passed me. He left me with Resttan alone.
“How did you meet him?” Resttan immediately asked me. He sat down next to me.
“At school.”
“He talked to you?” He laughed, which surprised me. “It is hard for him to talk with someone, especially when you are a girl. You are lucky. He avoids women because she does not want a girlfriend. ”
“Why?” This is me and my curiosity. When it comes to Laurent, he is very mysterious. How could someone live in this world full of secrets inside?
“I am sorry, I can not tell you the reasons. It is our family’s secret.” He was smiling.
I wonder what that is? My curiosity was even more piqued as to what he really was?
“Well, do you like him? I swear he is not that easy.”
“Why not? He is pretty cool. He is going to love me.” The tone of my voice was full of confidence, overconfident rather.
Resttan suddenly laughed out loud. “It is nice to know, but Miss… loving him is a warning, a threat. I hope you can love him no matter what.” He looked away. “Anyway, I just want to say that you are beautiful.”
My cheeks warmed at what he said. Am I beautiful? Really? It seems like he was just joking.
“I am not beautiful.” Made me scratch my head.
“I have eyes, I can see you so what I see is what I tell, but honestly… you are out of your mind for loving that frowned Baider.”
“Nope. I have blown my mind.”
He stopped laughing and looked at me. “Really? Poor you.” He shook his head as if feeling sorry for me.
“Why am I not allowed to love him? Because I am poor? I do not have a huge house like this? Or my parents are just trying hard to work, but the status never lifts? Is that the reason, Resttan?” My tears were about to drip on the corner of my eyes.
He was stunned. He shook his head afterwards. “No, it is not that. It is more complicated than what you think. It’s just you really can not understand things about us. You would never be.”
I stared at him for a moment. Why do their personalities seem so mysterious? How hard is that to share with someone like me?
“It is okay even if I do not understand as long as I love him, that is enough.” I said with a smile. My tears were gone. Maybe there was something I am not really allowed to know.
He looked deeper at me. “I don’t know if you can say the same lines if you know him well.”
