Whether today I should be happy or not but it felt like my pride was stepped on, as if I was the person who knew the least about my mother. Daddy bought me a pretty fancy car just because I said I didn't want a driver, I can use a makeshift car because I do not feel good if I leave to be delivered by the driver continues to remember my college schedule is uncertain, even though I also asked to be able to lend one of the motorcycles that are not used. But even the beautiful pink car became a gift for me, inevitably I received it, at least this car did not last night belong to Ares, Apollo, or Artemis. If it were more expensive, they would all hate me.
That afternoon I had business to meet Jane at one of my regular cafes and Jane while doing college work. Jane was waiting there so I had to rush to the cafe before upsetting her for a long wait.
A call came in, I put an airpods in one of my right ears and received a call from Michael, not usually he called me without saying that he would call me by phone.
“Halo.”
“I broke up with Selena.”
“Mic, Are you ok?.”
“No.”
“What's wrong?.”
“Selena cheating Vi.”
I could hear that Michael's tone was heavy as if he wanted to cry, but I couldn't comfort him further, I just gave him some encouragement and some things to keep him okay. Until I ended the call and stopped my car in the cafe parking lot, Jane waved her hand at me.
After ordering Americano Hot and Cup cake, I sat down in front of Jane, the same table with the two tabs that we were carrying. His job is to do research on a painting, we will choose one of the paintings at the exhibition that will be held tomorrow at one of the campus-owned museums, an exhibition of quite famous artists in the city, he said, I don't know his name but he also graduated from our college.
“Your new car?.” Jane's question made me turn to the direction of my car parked between the other cars.
“Iya make it easy to go home to campus.”
“Sometimes I play at your house dong.”
“Sorry, because the house never receives guests.”
“Where is your home?.”
“Lumayan far.”
“Oh yaudah deh.”
Speaking of Ares, some days I didn't see his nose, I also spent dinner alone considering Apollo was on duty outside and Artemis was staying in the dorm. I asked the butler, but he said that Ares was in his room, while I smoked on the balcony almost every night to see that Ares' balcony was dark.
I myself do not want to ask further about it, because I do not want the waiter to be suspicious about my affair with Ares, the actual relationship is not important, we do not love each other, anyway, more precisely Ares who does not necessarily like me even though I feel lost this moment since never saw it.
After meeting Jane, we separated. I returned home when it was evening, the streets were lit only by street lights every 3 meters. The gate of the mansion was open, I stopped the car in front of the house and gave the key to the guard to be brought into the basement downstairs.
When I entered the house, it was very quiet, only a waiter passed by to prepare dinner. I don't know why they're that enthusiastic, when the only one who eats is me, the stepson who has no blood relation to the owner of this house, shouldn't I be so oppressed here.
“Sorry, Brother Ares has come home?.” Ask one of the servants.
“Mr Ares has been home since 1 hour ago, he said he did not come to dinner because he had eaten.”
“Thanks.”
I don't know what Ares' problem really is, since he didn't meet me at all, he seemed to avoid it on purpose. I got into the elevator and headed to my room to change into some clothes.
My dinner was the same as the day before, alone, but this time I invited the waiters who prepared the food to accompany me to the meal. It feels very lonely if alone, for example I could still eat at work together with other workers, I went to eat with Michael, while this is completely alone.
Tonight I decided to go up to the balcony of mine to the balcony of Ares' room after finishing one cigarette. I'm wearing jeans with a black hoodie top, it fits what's called an intruder.
I also saw Ares' dark room, as I turned the doorknob to the balcony, Ares did not lock it. Maybe he forgot, I wish Ares wasn't inside, if anything, I don't know what to say.
Dugs
My feet hit the box that was in front of me, my eyes tracing this entire room that was a complete mess different from before. I was really surprised, because this room was like it had run out in a thief.
I finally found a figure curled up next to the bed while hugging her knees, I thought it was Ares after I got close enough to her.
“Ares..” Call me gently.
She turned her head towards me, from the moonlight, I could see her puffy eyes from crying. I was confused as to what to do, I sat down next to her, but suddenly Ares hugged me tightly. I just kept quiet letting her pour out everything that was bothering her mind.
Half an hour passed, the lights of this room were already on. I began to clean up the falling items. While Ares was sitting on the sofa just silent yet to say anything, I don't want to force him if indeed he hasn't wanted to say anything.
“My mom, she's alive.”
His voice made me look over and stop my work.
“It felt weird when they said my mom died, because I saw clearly that she was okay at the time. Maybe I'd be very happy if the fact wasn't like this, because of daddy's excessive attitude, he left the house. Daddy knew that my mother left instead of dying, in order to respect her decision without hurting the three of us, daddy said that mom was dead.” It was Ares who made me even more silent.
I approached him and sat down next to the man, rubbing his back gently.
“I don't want to see him again.”
“Ares... I know how you feel, please express your sadness but do not make your body suffer like this.
“He was fine as if there was no problem leaving me, Apollo, and Artemis who were little. I can remember mom's face clearly, but Artemis, she only remembers through photos.”
