Not Ustadz I (Unrevised)
14. The truth of a secret
..."If man is in curiosity, he will find out. But when he knows a painful secret, he will regret his choice." @doctorhoki_...
The second mansion belonging to the Matler family always get praise from many parties who visit the mansion, shades of silver and green gardens with colorful flowers adorn the surroundings of the building. In addition, maintained cleanliness can easily steal the attention of many people, when entering the spacious room we will feel the atmosphere of the building with unlimited space.
Do not forget about a variety of simple luxury furniture and eyewash antiques, when entering the mansion really everyone will think the house is a brightly lit house.
But no one knows if this place is the worst for me. I had been staying in this place for about a month after the news of my father's death, my brother firmly told me to go home but he contacted Steven and told him to secure myself. I was locked up in a place where the light was only on one large window, but it was still dark and silent. The incoming air made me want to vomit, my stomach felt strange as if it was spinning, I wanted to vomit in every second.
(Tok tock)
There was a knock on the door from Arista, the personal servant who served me for a whole month since I first entered this mansion. Steven didn't let anyone in except Arista, I heard he was Steven's younger brother who was a swordsman on vacation. Arista said she wanted to spend her day with someone other than her brother and friends, I was just confused as to why he wanted to spend his time with a person who didn't even answer anything from his outpouring.
"I'm in Miss Amanda." He said behind the door with a smiling face.
He was a beautiful child, his skin was white and his eyes were sharp in blue. But his hands were strong and rough, he actually had a nice body behind the servant's shirt. His hand held so many trained muscles, but I was amazed that he was still able to be gentle with his circumstances.
"Miss, today let's play outdoors." His revelation shocked me to the point of not being able to control my expression.
I just looked at her confused eyes, I couldn't believe I was going to get out of this room. And in the middle of my mind outside the galaxy, Arista approached and suddenly took my hand. His smiley face seemed to say that everything would be fine.
"Just calm down, I know that you've been feeling trapped in this room all along. But what makes you feel that way? Don't assume all this confinement but protection okay? Soon you'll be out of here so take it easy, I'll always take care of you." Said Arista with a face full of earnestness engraved, it seemed like it was able to make me slightly waver.
He got up from his seat with his hand holding my hand, he looked very excited. I also unconsciously became happy, the first time I came out of the room. I saw many amazing things out here like plants decorating all the way, flowers dancing to the morning breeze. Clear sunlight cleans the look of a beautiful fish pond with flowers around it. What a sight I could not see the day my father died, for that day I arrived at night.
"Did Steven let us out?" I asked without awkwardly at the girl in front of me, the expression on her face after hearing my question was not artificial. Did he hear a question from me.
"Aaa~ is the first time you spoke since we first met~" Reply Arista smiled happily, he stopped his steps that made me stop my steps.
'I thought I wasn't good at communicating with other people. My abilities are declining drastically.' My mind is a little sad.
"Just calm down, you've let the lady out of this room." He smiled at me, and he was acting strange again.
'How weird is he, he could have called me miss when he called me non-formal (I-You). Why does a beautiful woman seem to be trying so hard to become a servant?' my mind was upset at the change of the child before me who was always changing.
"Do you know that your face shows everything? Hahahaha well I'll greet you with a non-formal call from now on, since my leave is running out." His words that I replied with a small nod that again he expressed as if he saw a ghost.
"Don't this mean I'm still in this house, it's just a different service?" Reveal me while you were in the middle of the meadow behind the mansion.
"Haha! Don't talk like that, my brother isn't a man who doesn't keep his word. He'll let you out as soon as our guest gets there, just wait for it." Reply Arista, his hand handed him one chocolate ice-cream.
"Eat this." An offer that sounds like coercion.
"Thank you."
We've spent a lot of time together, but I don't want to talk much. For me Arista was a bitch, but he was the one who comforted me wholeheartedly on the day of my father's death. Even his chatter really makes me a little entertained even though sometimes I find it annoying.
"Thank you Arista.." I said suddenly, he looked jolted but he responded with a smile.
"I don't do much for you, I thank you. Because now I have a strong friend, even the experience is so strong that it looks impressive to me." The story makes me a little surprised.
"What's so special about me? I'm just a weak girl who's desperate and hopeless." My reply was interspersed with long breaths, I really enjoyed this cool breeze.
"Damma!" His laughter was small but audible, perhaps the entire mansion knew how annoying Arista was.
"What are you laughing about?" I asked Arista who kept holding back his laughter.
"Hahahaha, I'm not strong sorry. hahahaha!.. Ekhem! Hye!... Let me laugh a little more. hahahaha!"
'Sucks.' My mind curses itself a little.
".. hehe, it's relieved. Amanda, you're actually a very special person to me. You sincerely share your love with others, so everyone who meets you always feels lucky. I'm glad your kind and meek nature even though you could have killed a city with your hands, ah even a country." It was a revelation that seemed to me to exaggerate.
"Don't think I'm crazy, but being crazy is okay. But remember this.."
Slowly he began to bring his mouth close to my ear and whispered "I bless you both.."
'WHAT DO YOU MEAN??'
