Stuck On Here
Chapter 9: the situation

"Why, then, if my language is like the people of the East?" Tafa asked while sorting out the clothes that stayed slightly inside the bag.

Wynie turned her head rough, exhaling a coarse breath, before turning to the circus,"We are Westerners, different from Timur——"

"Just like, God made us different. Indeed we are Westerners, but just imagine you become an Easterner, then you are scorned and underestimated to the extent, let alone just trivial things—language. Just imagine," Tafa spoke at length before interrupting with a rough sigh, staring meaningfully at Wynie's face, which was silent without a word.

"Oh, forget it. Westerners always judge everything by status. Let it be," Tafa continued. He stood up and walked over to the big glass window by the side of the bed, opening the curtain slowly before he saw what was behind.

Tafa was silent, his face paled, making Wynie stand up to see what was outside. Only the wind was welcoming, nothing terrible. He noticed a glimpse of Tafa's pale face.

"Tapha?"

Silent.

"Tapha?!" this time Wynie shook Tafa's shoulder hard, feeling something strange from his friend. He waved his palm in front of Tafa's face.

"Tapha!"

As Tafa regained consciousness, he saw Wynie who was displaying a panicked expression. Then he looked around, a little dazed, then finally his expression turned normal again. Wynie breathed a sigh of relief at the change, he took the drinking water in a teapot and poured it into a glass and gave it to Tafa who was already sitting on the bed.

"What did you see?"

Tafa just shook his head. Understanding of that, Wynie did not try to ask again.

"I feel like I'm stuck in the same situation, repeatedly," Tafa murmured inwardly.

Lucas escorts Valerie out of the Book Hall with Kendrick, while Andreas is asked to accompany Floren home. Although at first the girl refused inevitably she had to obey him.

"Who's with you?" Lucas asked as he did not see Wynie around Hall.

"I think Wynie was here" Valerie muttered puzzled as she looked around, a girl in Wynie's maid uniform running slightly towards Valerie.

"Sorry, Miss. I was there, Miss, you've been waiting?."

"Stee?" Valerie asked with a frown, staring horror at Sinee who lowered her head, "I think I was with Wynie, I think,"

Sinee looked up, looking at her Young Miss face, "So Miss is with me. Wynie couldn't deliver, because she had to accompany the new maid,"

Valerie looked at Sinee seriously, making Lucas hold back his laughter. He looked at the girl from top to bottom. There's nothing wrong, it's Sinee, not Wynie. What's wrong with Valerie.

"It's true you, isn't it?" Valerie asked again, her forehead furrowing deeply, so her eyebrows came down sharply. Makes Sinee a little scared.

"Ah, forget it, let's go back to Nee," Valerie said goodbye to Lucas and Kendrick, "I feel like it was Wynie, indeed" Valerie murmured inwardly.

Andreas did not bring the carriage, as his original intention was just to tail, or rather not to accidentally follow. He walked towards the eastern part of the city with Floren. Along the way Floren just lowered his head to link his palms below while squeezing the dress fabric. Occasionally he felt a cold aura blowing behind his neck that was covered in high hair ties.

He glanced to the right and left using his tail, there was no one. But he felt that someone was following him, very close to his pulse. He looked up, then turned to Andreas' calm-looking face. But Floren could see there was an anxious highlight there. He lowered his face again focusing on the neatly arranged paving forming the road.

"Why do I feel so long for him?" Floren muttered very softly like the sigh of the wind. He felt that he had walked far enough but still had not arrived, finally he raised his face. Those rocks entered the city park area on the main road, "Why just got here?.When I left, I felt very close"

"What do you know, about Mr Stuart?"

Floren turned his head, looking in disbelief at the face of the man beside him, before opening his voice with the question, "If I say something, you, I mean what do you want?"

Andreas laughed blandly, "Jawab just my question,"

Floren lowered his head, "Nothing," he replied in a lie. That cold aura appeared again, that strange feeling was also—feeling was being watched. Floren did not dare to raise his face or turn his head in the other direction so he only glanced with his eyes tails.

"You're lying,"

Floren gasped in surprise, swallowing his saliva with great difficulty, before looking back at Andreas's face, "A-a-I'm not lying, really!" nervous shouting.

Andreas stops in front of Floren turning his body and stares intensely at Floren, "Really?" He asked while raising his eyebrows, curving perfectly.

"Yes, I'm not lying."

"You should know something, just tell me." He said he was trying to fish Floren.

"Say, what do you want? It's dangerous! No," he tweeted at the end.

Andreas smiled knotfully, still leaving his hand in hand by Floren next to his hand again smoothing the collar of the dress in style.

, "I told you you were lying" he said, looking at Floren's face, "You said you didn't know anything, but your reaction was all the way,"

Floren removed his hand grip on Andreas' left arm. He looked around, only to realize that he was just being fished. He cursed himself who was careless and too carried away.

"Only, danger."

"Hm?"

Floren turned his face the other way, hiding the look of his agitated face. The feeling of being followed just kept getting inside, as if something was going inside him. But on the edge of that taste. He turned, staring expectantly at Andreas who was busy tidying up his suit collar.

"I hope you guys don't do weird things,"

"Yes. Just hope, right? Lucas won't stop if he hears Felman's name, he's the third son that First Master Felman is proud of, Mr Felman—Host Louis de Felman." he said with a rude sigh. His hands were rough making invisible strokes in the air, "If he doesn't stop I won't either."

Andreas walked again through the left corner, followed by Floren at the back. They arrived in front of an old-fashioned house with a large brown twin door that curved over it. The yard is only a narrow grass area. There's no one around there. Andreas is confused.

Floren walked in hesitantly, turning to look at Andreas who was still standing outside the wooden fence. He had not yet opened the door, Rola, the housekeeper opened the door.

"Eh, Rola. Where's Aunt Katherine?"

"Mrs Katherine went out with Mr. Stuart earlier, Miss. Come on in, I made you a gingerbread cake,"

"Ah, yes." Floren turned his head for a moment towards the fence. Andreas was still standing there, then left after Floren flashed his smile.
