SAVANNA
CHAPTER 17

After finishing breakfast, one by one the people who were at this table just left. I, who had gotten used to eating and washing dishes, felt a little strange about the situation.

Maybe they thought, there is a waiter who has been assigned to take care of the rest of their food. I'm the one who's too katro!.

"Saphira, after this come daddy to the outside ya". Grandpa said to the mother who finished her meal.

"Where's dad?". Ask the mother while reaching for a tissue to clean the bread crumbs that are slightly attached to her lips.

"You come with daddy, you'll know". Answer grandfather with his typical laugh at the end of the sentence.

"All right, I'll get ready first dad". Say Mother later.

"Vana can I stay a while, right, son? You have no problem waiting for mom here?". Ask the mother who finally spoke to me.

I looked at my grandfather who was looking at me with a warm smile. Although I am not comfortable being alone without a mother, it seems like this is an affair between father and son. If I choose to come along, it might only trouble them.

"All right, ma'am, vana doesn't matter". Saying yes.

Mother gently stroked my head with a smile and then she went back to her room to get ready.

Really weird. My mother acted not like herself.

"My beautiful granddaughter is going to finish school?". Grandpa asked suddenly with his plate already empty.

"Yes cake. At the end of next month, Vana's already starting exams". I answered kindly while chewing the breakfast that was still on my plate.

"After that, what do you want to do?". Ask Eiden with his mouth full.

Funny thing about this kid.

"Eidens. Where's your manners?" Tegur om Jacob next to him.

Eiden immediately fell silent and apologized to me and grandfather.

"It's no big deal, Eiden is a kid". I'm trying to make Eiden feel comfortable.

Honestly speaking, a child who was immediately reprimanded in public like that must feel irritated quickly and eventually they will be hurt. Moreover, the one who reprimanded him was his own father.

"Here you go, Eiden continues to eat. Eiden's tutoring music today, right?". Sela grandfather with her friendly smile and retorted a nod by Eiden.

Hearing Grandpa's words just now, Eiden looked cheerful again. We went back to eating the rest of the breakfast on the plate, except for grandfather.

This old man very easily made the tense situation turn comfortable. I glanced at Om Jacob who had finished his breakfast, and so did Eiden. If you look at it, this father and son really make no difference.

"Wouldn't you like to see Eiden play the piano?". He said now after cleaning the leftover food stuck to the corner of his lips with a napkin hanging from the collar of his shirt.

"Well! Eiden can play the piano? Cool though!". My reply was enthusiastic.

The little boy immediately threw a proud smile at us. Om Jacob who was flat-faced earlier also smiled even briefly when he saw the behavior of his son.

Oh my God!. The slap!.

I blinked a few times to get back to reality. I quickly finished the remaining piece of bread that was still on my plate and then sipped a glass of clear water that was already available on this table.

"Ehem! Savannah doesn't have to rush". Grandpa said that finally made me awkward.

I hope he doesn't see me staring at his son with sparkling eyes.

"I'm sorry vana cake". I reply.

"Oh yes, Eiden's question has not been answered". Connect grandpa.

I glanced at the three compact people looking at me simultaneously as if they were waiting for an answer from me. I also chuckle with their very similar attitude if curious.

"Ehem!. So after graduating later, Vana plans to intern at a company in the vana kek area. Mother said, they will provide scholarships for competent interns. So Vana's gonna try for that". I'm definitely optimistic.

These three beings in front of me also nodded simultaneously. Funny thing!.

"Vana, would you like to register at an international campus in this city?". Grandpa asked that I spontaneously rejected his good intentions.

"No need for cake! Really am!. Vana can get through this with the vana kok effort". I tried to subtly reject his offer.

"Campus is close to this house, you can stay here if you want". Say it to Jacob now.

"No need for me! Really am. Thank you grandpa and om for your attention with Vana". My words convinced them.

"It looks like this grandfather's son looks really old huh, until a girl like vana calls him 'om'". Grandfather said again with his laugh.

"That's cake". I replied awkwardly while following her laughter.

I who spoke the origin also found a cold gaze from Jacob. Instantly the atmosphere I felt turned gripping. Clumsily, I poured another glass of clear water and then sipped it all at once for wanting to shift her cold gaze.

"But, big brother will still visit and see Eiden right?". As the little boy saved my life which was almost frozen because of his father's gaze.

"ah! If there's a chance, Vana's gonna come visit Grandpa and Eiden". I answered kindly and greeted with a cheerful smile from grandfather and Eiden.

I dare not look at Jacob.

"Jake, didn't you drop Eiden off today?". Ask grandpa then.

"ah! Gabriel's waiting in front of dad. Today Eiden is the same as Gabriel". Answer me Jacob.

"Ep... Well, then, please excuse me for cake, om, and Eiden". Sela stood up and carried my dirty dishes and my mother.

The habit after eating and washing dishes was spontaneous I apply in a house that has more than 10 servants.

"Loh! Savana doesn't have to do the job". Grandpa stopped my steps.

"It's okay cake! Vana's used to it, after all, it's not that hard". Reply to me kindly.

Grandfather was silent too. I who did not know what else to say, immediately stepped towards the kitchen that was behind this room.

I who just stepped foot into the kitchen was immediately made amazed by the vast and luxurious scenery.

The area of this room is no less than the area of the dining room next to it. The room which is dominated by white and silver is dazzling to my eyes. The complete and sophisticated furniture and cookware in this kitchen made me forget my original purpose in this room. What a truly luxurious thing!.

"Ehem!".

Someone who coughed from behind me made me look up.

I found Jacob with a plate that also piled up in both hands spontaneously making me gawk.

"I'll help you". His words made me come back.

"Ah no need om, vana can be alone!". I reply.

"Don't refuse". His words were filled with decisiveness.

I fell silent and just let him do what he wanted to do.

****

We also washed the dishes in silence and awkward.

"By the way, I'm sorry I troubled you last night". Jacob now opens our topic of conversation.

"Not a big thing. You feel better now?". I was busy rubbing dishes.

"A little bit better. Dady made me drunk a lot last night, so today I didn't go to the office because I still feel a little dizzy". Clearly again.

"Oh! Then take a break, let Vana do the rest". Reply me.

"No problem, I can handle it". Say it to Jacob.

We also went back to silence. I think this morning it was moving very slowly. After all, why did not a single servant come to this kitchen?!.

What's even the situation becomes more awkward if only the two are like this!.

Duh!.
