SURO
Two Choices

I was silent, looking at each other with Danniel returning my gaze. From the look on his face, he looked serious and kept his eyes on me. It seems.. He's telling the truth?

"That guy?? Who do you mean by that guy?" ask me while being flabbergasted.

Danniel took a long breath. "You have family rules to follow, right?" I'm nodding. "I have something similar."

Now it's my turn to squint. "Of course, because we are one family, so the rules that we must obey are the same" I said.

Danniel shook her head while grunting a smile. "It looks the same, but actually.. Fill in every rule book between the two of us.. It's so different."

I'm flabbergasted. "meaning?"

"I'm forbidden to be around you, to talk to you, and to be around you, but that only applies to you. I didn't do that to my mom and dad. So, it's clear that our rules are different, right?"

I straightened my body with heavy breathing. "So that's right? That rule, it only applies to me?" tanyaku.

"Yes, that only applies to you. And for us, we are strictly forbidden to be near you.."

"Was.. You know why?" ask me again, with a sad look.

Danniel sighed with a smile looking at me. "Yes, of course we told you why. It's just, it's less ethical and it doesn't make sense to me."

I frowned, looking at Danniel who started to pierce the flesh with a fork in her hand. "Less ethical?"

"Yes, the reason is absurd and should be kept secret."

I bowed my body. "I think I can figure out why."

"Sure!" sambar Danniel's. "I'm not gonna keep it a secret from you."

"really?" I just can't believe it.

"My reason for not being around you is.. Because you're something dangerous."

I'm flabbergasted. "dangerous? I'm dangerous?? What's dangerous?" ask again.

"For that reason, I don't know it either. I say it's unethical. I've been wanting to be around you for a long time, it's just that I'm confused where to start. Even when you were a baby, my mom and I weren't allowed anywhere near you. You've been taken care of by bi Narti while in the cradle. And you know how I feel??" he hung up his sentence, making me grimace not understand.

"I feel sad because I can't see my own sister."

The deg!!

My heart paused for a moment. For some reason, hearing those words come out of his mouth, it really felt piercing deep in my heart. As if, I could feel his sadness. On the one hand I feel happy, meaning.... My presence is expected??

"I've been punished for trying to get into your room, just to see my little baby sister's face. Back then, my leg was whipped until it was cut, and I was threatened not to come near you again."

"I'm confused, I don't understand why I can't see my own little brother. Whereas before, when in the womb, we can be with you.. Joking and talking to you. You always respond by giving a small kick. And I promise you, I'll always look after you and be with you when you get out."

"But.. The moments that are waiting to arrive, I must accept because you must not be approached by careless people."

"Except bi Narti?" cut me off, making Danniel glance at me expressionlessly.

"Did bi Narti say something to you?"

I'm shaking. "There are many things he tells us, but none of them concern his work."

"Then, how do you know that bi Narti is an exception?" ask her with her eyebrows linked.

"Because..."

I pull a negligee shirt that my aunt wears very often during work breaks. When he pulled the shirt, something suddenly fell out of his pocket. I frowned, looking at a brown envelope. This is in the aunt's hand after getting out of the house. Is this aunt's severance pay??

I opened it, curious about the money which of course had not been touched by him, because he had already been killed before enjoying it.

When I opened the envelope, I gasped to find a paper inside. I read the details, and...

What does this letter mean?

Braak!!

The door to my aunt's room slammed, leaving me shocked to instantly reflect the paper and envelope into my pocket.

A man I've seen looks worriedly at me. "Master!!! I think who!! I was shocked to see the door open." he lamented, wiping off the sweat.

(Grand of Flashback)

"When I went to aunt's house, I found an envelope in her pocket. And the envelope turned out to contain a letter of agreement to work in this house. The agreement says that the main condition for employment is..." I looked at Danniel closely. "Ready to die." I continued, making Danniel blink both eyes quickly.

"What I know, from childhood until now.. Only my aunt has access to be near me. When I started at the age of ten, then some workers and ART in this house can interact with me. After reading aunt's letter, I thought..." Danniel looked at me without thinking of continuing my words. "Is aunt your guinea pig?" my connection.

Danniel let out a long sigh while putting the fork that was still impaled by meat on the end. "Rabbit experiment?"

I leaned my body towards Danniel. "After hearing that I was dangerous, I became more convinced.. If aunt is working as a guinea pig. Because what he's caring for, is a.."

I stared at Daniel. "MONSTERS?"

From the look on his face, Danniel looked surprised by my statement just now. His breath seemed to be restrained, but he tried to cover it up.

"Auntie is an experimental tool to know if it's safe if someone is near me. After ten years of age, only a few other workers were allowed to interact with me, because of the notice from my aunt, that I didn't cause her anything bad."

"And if any of the other members I interacted with did nothing, maybe.. This is the reason papa, dare to take me to the core of the family meeting with you guys." I said.

Danniel sighed. "I actually know a lot of things that might have been a question in your mind all along. It's just, I have one condition, if you really want to know everything."

I interrupted, glancing at him cynically. Again, this guy always makes conditions for me if he wants something from him.

"Our terms?? What do you want from me?" ketus.

Danniel just smiled to chimed in. "But.. If you don't want to, I'm not forcing. I'm just giving you a choice. The boys have to learn, to get what they want, they have to fight as hard as they can" he said.

"What conditions do you want to give me?" my many.

"Fire Dita, and let me take her place."

I was immediately shocked to hear his words. I blinked repeatedly and scrunched my forehead. "Isn't this discussed yesterday. I won't replace Dita with anyone!"

"But I'm your brother. You should've preferred me over him!" reply again.

I grimaced, not understanding his way of thinking. "Why do you hate Dita so much? He is a good man! She loved me. Before we judge a person, you should know him first!!" reply me, make him frown.

"I don't want to be close to a despicable race like him."

I was silent hearing it. Actually, Danniel's request wasn't bad. It seems like he wants to be closer to me. It's just, I don't want him to shift Dita's position away from me.

So, it looks like I have to do something.. In order to hate him, change one hundred percent on Dita.

Seriate...
