“Wah... The party was so festive ya!” Zeno pressed his palm against the window pane, from there he could see the party below.
Then, he turned to Aslan, “why don't we go there?” zeno asked Aslan who was sitting quietly on the single sofa. Aslan was busy with his own cell phone, not letting Zeno out towards the party.
The party was in the large mansion of the Raynold family, while Zeno was in the guest room with Aslan.
“Aslan?” asked Zeno again, he did not give up on asking, however, looking at the unmoved Aslan, Zeno approached Aslan and sat down beside him.
“Aslan, what are you doing?” ask Zeno.
Aslan put her phone on the table beside the sofa, then turned to Zeno.
“I should have asked, I will interrogate you this time, the first one... Do you have any problems with the thugs in your school?”
Zeno chuckled lazily, surely Andi was telling the story because he couldn't possibly not divulge it in front of Kevin, Aslan and Travis.
“Honest answer, Zeno!” added Aslan.
“Alright, I tell you. I'm friends with my neighbor's son, meaning – neighbor brother Kevin, his name is Bella. He is approached by a jerk man, pretending to like Bella, but after he gets the sport bike he wants, he dumps Bella then says if she is just a bet, he also insults Bella physically. Bella, who didn't accept asking me to record all those incidents, virtualized them.
Damian's son of a bitch came to Bella's house and wanted to report Bella, I came to record the incident again and broadcast it. Okay, I was reckless about doing that, but I'm not afraid of him at all. Later then... Bella turned slimmer and prettier, then Damian came to want to go back to Bella, I happened to be there too, so well, obviously she hates me, but take it easy, I've beaten them.”
“Zeno, you know they must be back right?”
Zeno put his shoulders, “iya knows, but what else do you want, right?”
Aslan huffed, “you should have said that at least to Kevin! I know you can fight it, but there's a reason, there's a consequence, people who want revenge can come back much stronger, you have to be careful, he said, well, it doesn't matter because you already told me, and then the second one, people will start asking you questions, because you look like me, there are a lot of people at the party, including Raynold's extended family, you – eum... might be my twin. I'm –” Aslan didn't go forward with her words as Zeno patted her on the shoulder, then gave a small smile.
“They're gonna ask me all kinds of questions, right? so, that's why you're still keeping me here? Don't worry, I'll be fine. Then, about my new product, how?”
“Ah, as we discussed earlier..” Aslan grabbed his phone back, then it looked like he was contacting someone.
“Women are the right market, so the first product to be promoted is a face lotion or cream, therefore, we need the help of women, ah, already connected! Hello, yes, you guys come here, okay, I wait.”
Aslan turned off his phone, then smiled at Zeno, the kind of cunning smile that looked terrible, like one who would do everything possible to get his wish.
Or, maybe Zeno was overdone.
“Who will be here?” ask Zeno.
“Oh, we just wait here, now prepare all the goods” said Aslan.
Then Zeno stood up again, picked up the backpack he was carrying, then took out the items from the magic shop that would probably sell and probably be liked by women.
Zeno initially thought that one product would be useless, but after he searched the internet, it turned out that sunscreen was a mandatory item for women to protect the skin from UV rays. Well, men should also apply it, but if they have no problem having a burned and unhealthy facial skin anyway, there is no need.
So, Zeno will also sell a cool sunscreen gel, in addition to helping to keep the skin from sun exposure, sunscreen is also very cool if used on their face or skin, sunscreen wrapped with a beautiful container 300 gr.
Just in case, Zeno also sells special mint candies to keep teeth fresh, healthy and also whiten teeth naturally. There are also eye masks that can make you sleep soundly and remove eye bags, actually it's a light version of the dreamless herb.
Zeno also deliberately chose products that do not look too magical.
Then, there is also lemon water and peach water, it's the drink version of the weight loss herb, which is safe to consume daily because the potion's effectiveness level is much lower, the, so it takes about three weeks to a month of regular use.
And therefore the low version, so obviously the price is also cheaper.
“This mask is applied under the eyes and can help sleep well? Well, I want to buy this too huh?” aslan said, lifting the eye mask.
Zeno turned his head annoyed at him, “you plan to stay up?”
“Hehe, I like to watch or play games at night.”
“Do not do that too often, Aslan!”
“I also sometimes work at night!”
“Stay only..”
Krieekk!
They stopped arguing, then turned to look at the entrance, saw two beautiful girls entering the room.
They are Elle, Aslan's cousin, and Dania, Aslan's girlfriend.
Zeno was very surprised to learn Aslan had a girlfriend, especially when Aslan said he was forced to accept her, Aslan who was eleven years old at that time agreed. But if it lasts until now, maybe Aslan started to like it.
Well, Zeno didn't want to know about Aslan's absurd love life. After all, Zeno until the age of 14 was still busy playing kites or marbles, or looking for a conch in the rice field, where he understood his love.
But obviously, the city kids are different for sure.
“This is all the stuff, Zeno, explain the price and the specifications” Aslan said.
“Isn't it better you guys follow too?” dania protest.
“Nia, I want to introduce Zeno to others” Aslan said.
In the end, Zeno explained one by one the item, the two beautiful girls were even interested in buying themselves. Zeno said if they could promote his goods, he would grant their wishes. For example they ask for two or three items, he will give them.
“Okay, I and Dania will be going around promoting it to our friends!”
After the two girls leave, Aslan invites Zeno to meet his family.
During the trip, Zeno saw the people at the party staring at the two of them as if they were a strange and rare thing.
“What are they twins?”
“Didn't Aslan's twin first die?”
“Don't the Raynold family deliberately hide the twin Aslan.”
“That's impossible, why try?”
Whispers that Zeno could hear well continued to be heard, making Zeno uncomfortable.
GREPS
Suddenly there was someone hugging Zeno from the side, a very beautiful woman who looked like a doll.
“Ka-ka-you.. You whose name is Zeno? You look so much like my sister!” said the woman, who was then pulled away from Aslan, by Travis. Looks like that woman is Aslan's sister, Aileen.
She's so pretty.
Zeno smiled politely at Aileen.
“He's the little sister I want! A polite and sweet version of Aslan! Aslan, you exchanged with him huh?” aileen.
“Nak aja!” aslan said not to accept.
Another woman came, this time similar to Aileen, but looking more mature.
Zeno recognized her, she was Aslan's mother, Luna.
The woman approached, then cupped Zeno's face with both palms.
Looking at the two eyes of the woman, it made Zeno feel a strange thing.
Not that Zeno was unconscious, he was just lying to himself and pretending not to know. The chances of Zeno being a twin of Aslan had already reached 100% but Zeno continued to avoid it like a fool.
Proving he can stand on his own?
That's just an excuse.
In fact, she was afraid that something like this would happen, she became emotional and ended up looking weak in front of others.
“My son..” murmured Luna.
Whatisthis? Why did Zeno's view become blurry? Suddenly he refrained from blinking.
(Crying only)
Nah! Zeno won't cry.
I thought so, even if the opposite happened.
Sreth!
Zeno took a step back and broke his tears with the sleeves of his light blue shirt.
“Ma-sorry, I have to go for a while!”
Zeno immediately ran from that place, running anywhere, a place that not many people.
Without Zeno noticing, he was already outside the mansion. Then he looked up to see a large tree house that was shining brightly due to the light of the lamp.
Whether there was a push from nowhere, he climbed the stairs of the tree house, then sat there, while looking at the mansion from the top of the tree house.
“What am I doing anyway? Why am I leaving?” Zeno Mumbled.
A few minutes later, Zeno just silently daydreamed, completely unmoved to return. Maybe Aslan was looking for him right now.
“I am indeed a fool.”
“Not really.”
“HUWAAAA!! Mpp –”
Zeno who was surprised there was someone else with him, reflexively shouted, he started to calm down after seeing Elle who turned out to be beside him.
Elle released her hands after Zeno calmed down.
“Do not scream if you do not want to be caught” whispered Elle.
“Ma-sorry..”
“I saw everything from a distance, it looks like you are hiding something huh? Are you the twin of Aslan?” ask Elle.
Zeno lowered his head, looking back at the mansion.
“Do you think I deserve to be part of that family?”
“Quick, kok.”
Zeno turned to Elle, “why are you saying that? I'm not as good as them.”
“Zeno, since when did being part of a certain family have to be great first? Must have the same ability? No don't you? You were just born there, destined there, however you are, you will always be accepted.”
Suddenly Elle pulled Zeno to rest her head on Elle's shoulder.
Elle was quite tall, but Zeno still had to shift his body to feel comfortable leaning on the girl's shoulder.
Zeno himself did not know why he took Elle's shoulder for granted, let alone Elle also hugging him, and he did not mind.
“No need to think too far, no need to think you are inferior, do you not see Aslan's face when with you? He was so happy, I had never seen the boy as happy and as excited as he was before, he didn't even feel at home with kids his age except me and Xeon, so he jumped class to avoid that. If you had been there earlier, maybe Aslan would not have skipped class and school with you, right?”
“Come, Elle.”
“Already, don't think about it, calm yourself first.”
“Thanks, Elle.”
