Secret Book

I clenched my teeth, how dare he ask with such a casual sentence. Especially about aunts, and about someone's life. I lifted my body off the floor, while continuing to look at it with a sharp gaze.

"How do you get out of this house?" my question, made him tilt his head. "I've lost respect for you, and I don't want you to stay with me."

He sighed, threw away his face for a moment and looked back at me with a smile. "Lu think I was deliberately with you?? You're smart enough to come from a family of kesdicth'anhm, but I have to ingetin once again..."

"It's professional work, so whatever happens, I won't leave you."

"So you have to die first, so you can stop being around me?" ask me again while standing with a staggering body condition. "Then I kill you here."

He just stared flat. "I don't die easily."

I grimaced, holding back some parts of my body that hurt. He realized my pain was still unmoved.

"To kill, you must have a higher level of strength than your opponent. Wiggling how to fight you, pretty awesome.. Lu designed some of the characteristics of the Gasth'anhm race fighters, but returned again.. All the attacks and horses, just basic."

I grimaced. He underestimated me that far?? Just basic he said??

"Some of the attacks are quite weak, and the most amazing is just the fighting style of your own family, because of course you have mastered your own fighting style."

"But it's still the same as I said, all that.. Just basic. You have to study harder, let alone kill people..."

"That has killed someone else. Your words, you sound like a little boy's prank." he said confidently.

"You know who I am, but your words and attitude are like that. Remember, your spilled blood is no more important than our pets." I didn't make this crazy girl's eyebrows move in the slightest. It was as if he did not use his feelings in the slightest while arguing with me.

"Gue knows how to behave. Because as a subordinate, I only appreciate superiors who respect me as well. So, if your animal blood is more important than mine, then you.. I can use it as an expensive accessory. All I use is to show off, and I sell if I don't have to."

I smiled withstanding anger. "I'm interested in you." I reply.

Suddenly, a loud noise came toward this room. I didn't look back, when the bodyguards and art came at us worriedly.

"Dita?! What the... Eh.." they were silent, when they realized I was in the room.

They immediately bowed and saluted. "T.. Sir, what's going on? We came because we heard the commotion in this room." they told me.

"You're done, you can come back." I said as I walked past them and walked out of the mad woman's room.

After my departure, I saw them swarming with crazy women as if they were asking what really happened. And I don't care if he tells you the truth or not, because no matter what..

If he was honest, of course they would ask me the reason why I did it, and of course it would bother him. If he was lying, maybe it was to save himself, and so was I.

.........

I lay with my head down over the edge of the bed. I play the pen, rotate it between my fingers.

Instead of hiring that crazy woman to be my protector, it's even better if I hire my aunt's son. Why didn't Mom think about it?? His mother loves me, and his son will love me.

If I can bring my aunt's child, I can ask Mr. Saipul to meet her with my mother, and get rid of the heartless woman.

But.. How can I meet my aunt's son??

I twisted my brain for a moment. Back then, he saw me at the Vilhgasth'anhm residence and followed me all the way to the restaurant. So maybe I could meet him there.

.........

I got out of the house while sneaking around, not for fear of being discovered by my family members, but for fear of being caught by my workers.

Good thing again, after the incident, of course, the crazy woman will be off guard and will not expect if I get out of the house, as well as the bodyguards mama and other guards.

I hid behind a side wall, near a bonsai embedded in a large pot. I noticed guards standing guard at the gate and post drinking coffee.

How do I get out?? They're keeping very tight there. There was no other way to distract, except to make a fuss.

I glanced around, making sure what I could use. I took a few stones and glanced at what could have solved their attention.

"Cctv and flower pot." I muttered while aiming. I closed my eyes and threw a cctv with a stone, then threw a flower pot.

Prahaang!!

The sound of shards rang out loud, making them stand by and look in the right direction. Shooting on target is my specialty. Looks like I fit into the long-range fighter type, hehe.

"What's going on?"

"Fractional sound in block A third corner!!"

"For group!! You guys get ready for it, and I'll check the cctv!!" screech them compactly.

Some ran away, but not to the one guarding the post near the gate.

"Y!! The cctv's broken! It's dangerous!! I have to go there and catch up with them!!" he panicked, while running to the source of the commotion.

Seeing this opportunity, I immediately ran out of the fence. Of course it's a trivial thing to run from them. And next, find a safe place and as far as possible. Then take a taxi to remove the trail.

.........

I wiped off the sweat as I walked into aunt's yard. Simple house with yellow brick walls, and roof tiles that have been broken in some parts are mossy.

Aunty's yard still has a tent but no more plastic chairs. Maybe it was partially covered.

I glanced around, where the surrounding houses were similar in shape, there was nothing nicer or uglier. When I came here I panicked to see the yellow flag, so.. Like this the residence of the Gasth'anhm race. Very poor!

Maybe because they had only served their entire lives in the master's residence, so their home was only for occasional stops and family gatherings. This place is shabby and smells of rotten wood.

I dodged some parts in disgust, then knocked on aunt's door. A few knocks, no answer at all. Is aunt's child not inside?? If it's not wrong, then his neighbor said that he was not here.

I sighed tired, it was useless to walk alone these nights, where the air was also ding-

"Uphi!!" I flinched when my mouth was closed. I was about to fight back, but suddenly it just slipped off before I acted more.

"Hehe, lord of yesterday's kesdictth'anhm? What's the need to come here?"

My eyes widened when I saw the mysterious man I met yesterday in the toilet. Turns out he just smothered my mouth.

"It turns out you're here" I said happily.

"Of course, this is our residence." she replied as she lowered her head and placed her hands to her chest. "Sorry, but what brought you here?" tanyanya carefully.

"Is there time to talk?" I asked, and he nodded his head.

He took me to a cafe of the Gasth'anhm race, and asked me to put on the robe I was wearing so that no one would be aware of my race. Fortunately, I haven't changed my clothes after fighting with a crazy woman.

"Please drink, sir." she asked.

I slightly tilted my head and smiled sungging, a sign of not liking the dish he gave. "I don't drink milk coffee." I refused.

His face immediately turned panicked. "I'm sorry, should I order another drink?"

"Necessary." I brief. "I'm not here for that."

He scrunched his eyebrows. "Then, what's it for, sir?"

"Regarding what you said at that time, I believed it. The crazy woman herself has confessed that she killed auntie. My arrival here is simple, I'm just asking you to work with me, and take the place of the woman." I said.

He took a deep breath while smiling. "I am very honored by the invitation, but I cannot accept it without the endorsement of the head of the family kesdicth'anhm. And again, we can't just work with a solicitation."

"I'll take you home and introduce you to my mom. At least he's got to have an aunt's son, rather than the woman who killed aunt."

He smiled back. "It looks like you hate Dita so much." she said. Of course I hated him, I almost killed him if he didn't wake up. "Actually, Dita is not evil. He was so at the behest of your family. So, he killed because of his duty."

I snort. "He's a bitch." I'm short.

This man smiled again. "Without hating her, why don't you hate your own family?"

I stared hard at him. Why did he say that?? "Why should I do it?"

He gasped and immediately shook his head. "I'm sorry for my stupidity. I didn't mean that. It's just, I'm curious.. Family kesdicth'anhm.. Especially the one your father heads up, there's too many weird secrets in it."

I immediately glanced cynically. Weird secret?? Does he know any strange secrets about socialization ethics? My aunt must have told me about it. Aunty must be close to her son and always exchanging stories, unlike my mother who just felt reluctant to be with me.

"By the way about the secret... Did aunt tell you anything?" my many. He just kept quiet. "As our family ethics mean?" he's still quiet. "If you know something, tell me." I asked.

"Actually, if you want to know the biggest secret of the kesdicth'anhm family, just take the family secret book stored in the archive building, precisely in your father's private room."

I cringe at hearing it. "Family secret books?" Is there such a book?? I've never heard of it.

He nodded. "To be clear, you take the book first.. We just translated it together. Because the book is a little weird." he continued.

"You know that far, does your aunt suspect him? I don't know anything about that."

He nodded. "Because now that you know, we'd better end this meeting. I'm afraid, you'll be known." I nodded in agreement. "Let me drive, it's too late to walk alone."

.........

After getting out of the car, I took a detour. No need to peek in front of the gate, because they must have tightened the guard there.

I settled in, entering the house by climbing the fence that grew a shady tree nearby. I went up through the tree and passed the large branch to the front window of my room.

I went in from there and shut the window of my room. When I turn around...

My body was aghast, catching the long-haired figure that suddenly appeared before me.

"Who are you with?" he asked while folding his hands to his chest, looking at me with a stifled face.

"Cih, interfere." I reply.

Seriate...
