Disciple Bizarre!
Ch. 51 - Mid Girl 2

(Oka Maggiana POV)

Not knowing where this desire came from, I suddenly wanted to stop by Lev's residence. I knew he was very picky, even anti when classmates wanted to come to his apartment. Not a single classmate had ever come to Lev's place except Roman.

Maybe that's why I'm curious. Taking advantage of my current situation, Lev would probably be more sympathetic, and would allow me to come there.

Not felt, we also arrived, Lev's apartment was not too far from school. In view of the building it is clear this elite apartment, better than the apartment where Yurina lives. Is Lev a rich man like Sera?

We took the elevator until we arrived on the 5th floor, walked on the veranda and stopped in front of room number 505.

"You're the third person in 1-f class I invited into my room. While inside later, don't take any photos, yeah."

"Third person? Besides Roman who else?"

"Erza's."

"E-uh... Erza that seems close to everyone, huh."

"Yes, he helps me quite often."

"I am too."

Lev opened the door to his room, and we went in.

Fill room...

Yeah, as expected, anyway. In accordance with the elite label of this apartment.

The room is spacious and has many rooms. The living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom are all separate. Compared to the rooms, this place is more like a private house. Yes, the apartment is indeed large, naturally Lev room space is also large.

I don't know what to do here. I've never been to a man's house before. Especially now just alone. It feels more nervous.

I sat on the couch playing with my phone, while Lev picked up a cold drink in the fridge and put it on the table with his empty glass.

"Please, just relax here."

Lev sat down next to me.

"Anu... Which person are you, Lev?" ask pleasantries.

"I was born in Russia, and lived there until the age of five. Then moved to Kyoto until graduating from elementary school. Starting from Junior High, I moved to Tokyo, and lived here alone."

Ah, right, Lev has Russian ancestry. He sometimes does speak Russian with Yurina.

"You are very independent, Lev, from Junior High has lived alone. Do your parents stop by often?"

Lev was silent for a moment.

"My parents are long dead."

"Eh?"

"When I was in elementary school, in 4th grade, my whole family went on holiday to Hiroshima in a private car. My mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, and younger sister, Leona, all came along. I stayed home because I was sick, my aunt took care of me there. Later that night, I got word, he said they had a traffic accident, and all of them died on the spot. I've been alone ever since. I have no one else."

My mouth opened when I heard Lev's story. I had no idea Lev was an orphan.

"After they died, my aunt took care of me at home. He's the only family I have. Even so, it felt very awkward living in his house. She has a husband, and two children to raise. I feel uncomfortable living there. I feel like a burden. So I decided, I want to get out of that place as soon as possible, and stay alone here."

I kept quiet and kept listening.

"I told this to a friend of mine at Junior High. You know what the response was? He said: "Well, thank God you're alive. You're handsome Lev, you're easy to get a girlfriend, people like you, your parents have a lot of money, don't complain. Let's just say their deaths are the price you pay for all the perfection you have. You've got everything Lev, your life's good, you've got a lot of luck. Compared to you, my life is much harder. I'll make you complain again." From then on, I started thinking, maybe the words were true, I'm a lucky person, but why, why, why, why do I always want to cry when I remember my family? Am I really a lucky kid, huh?"

Hearing Lev say that, and his tone began to change, I wanted to cry.

I'm no different from the friend Lev was telling you about. I myself often thought Lev was a very lucky boy, without me knowing that he must have his own problems.

"I had a boyfriend once, but he was cheating on me with a close friend of mine, the guy I was telling you about. Then I got a new boyfriend, but he forgot about me because of the curse I had. Is it true that I. ahaha, sorry, why am I telling you this, yes. I'm sorry, Giana, just forget what I said, ahahaha."

I was silent, I felt angry at myself. Just because it's uglier than Sera and Keiko, I'm down as low as this. Compared to me who still has a full family and good friends, Lev may be more lonely than me. Moreover, he cannot touch people, and I know, secretly there must be many who hate him. Why do I... Why do I feel like the one who suffers the most?

"Lev.. Can I hold you?"

"Huh? No, Giana, it's okay. I'm sorry to tell you about my family. Now you must feel sorry for me, right? It's okay, Giana, really. I just remember them because you asked."

I stood up from my seat, then hugged her tightly. It's so embarrassing. I never hugged a man before. But, I really want to hug her now, unbearable again.

"If you don't like it, you can push me, Lev."

Without saying anything, Lev hugged me back.

I can feel her body warm, my heart beating fast. I suddenly liked him more.

"You know, if turning ugly could bring my family back, I'd be ugly right now. I miss my mom, my dad, Leona, I don't have anyone now. What am I fighting for? Who am I to be proud of? Isn't being proud of both parents the dream of all children? I don't know what I'm living for now, but I do, I have to stay alive. I don't want them to be sad up there."

Lev did not cry at all, instead I wet his clothes. I don't know how strong the boys are in holding back the crying, but Lev is really strong in holding it back.

After a while, we stopped hugging.

"Why are you crying, hahaha."

"I'm sorry, but your story is very sad. I didn't know you were so lonely."

"Ah, not really, really. Sometimes it's sad every family remember, but soon it's okay, really."

"Stay still...." I wiped my tears.

Not long after, Lev went to the bathroom. I was suddenly embarrassed to remember what had happened. Hugged Lev suddenly. Gosh...why did I suddenly become so brave?

Lev sat down next to me.

"Actually, I still have family in Russia. My mother's grandmother is alive. He offered to stay there. But I don't want to, I'd rather live in Japan. He just helped pay for this apartment, I'm lucky, haha."

"Don't go, Lev. Anyway don't go! You should stay in Japan, not Russia!"

Suddenly I became possessive of him, for some reason, but I didn't care.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I have a curse. Where can I go to Russia, hahaha."

Ah, no, shit, I'm kind of in love with Lev right now. My feelings of admiration for her have changed and developed into affection. It's because he saved me just now, because I knew the real Lev, because I knew he wasn't as perfect as I thought he was.

Ah, how is this. I can't look at Lev as usual now. I became more curious about him. My feelings are passionate.

No, no, this feeling can't exist, I can't like Lev. There's no way someone like me would fit in with him. He must have a stronger partner than him. People like Akemi might be more suitable.

"Rather than just being quiet, watching a movie yuk, I have some tapes that I haven't seen yet. You want?" bargained for.

"Yes, I want to!"

That afternoon, I spent some time in Lev's apartment. Watching a fun action movie.

I was then driven home by him, riding the motorcycle I had just seen for the first time. It feels very comfortable to be ripped off by him.

"Giana, about my family, please don't tell anyone, yeah. I'm just telling you, really. Roman and Erza don't even know" Lev said after opening his helmet.

"Okay... But why did you tell me?"

"I don't know, I suddenly want to tell a story. I haven't complained in a long time. Thanks for listening." Lev smiled.

"L-yes...."

"Yes, then I'll go home first."

"She, Lev!"

"Yes?"

"A-i.. Can I stop by your place again sometime?"

"Yes, sure, just say it."

"Yes-yatta, thank you!"

"Yes, I'm going first. See you later, Giana."

I know very well, I had fallen for Lev when he teased me this afternoon. When he saved me from feeling inferior.

And after I found out everything about it, this feeling deepened. There is a feeling of wanting to make Lev happy, loving him sincerely, caring for him sincerely, and hugging him when he feels lonely.

I've never been this in love before. I got straight into the room and drowned my head on the pillow and held back the screams.

I was that close to Lev just now. I know the secret. We hugged for quite a while.

I shouldn't have fallen for Lev, he's too tall for me to reach, but just love him without saying anything?l
