The Dead CINDERELLA's
SWC.17. An enthusiastic parent.

Arthur and Sierra are in the living room with Arthur's parents, Sahara and Cornelius. Sierra sits between Arthur and the Sahara. Cornelius is on the left side of the Sahara.

" Dear, how long have you been such a cold man's lover.?" Ask the Sahara to the Sierra.

" A Week." Sahut Arthur's.

" I'm asking Sierra not you." Sahara.

" Same, the question is our relationship." Said Arthur.

" So you've only been lovers for a week?" Say the Sahara to Sierra.

" Right aunt, we've only been dating for a week." Said Sierra with a sweet smile.

" Mommy, can you not scare my lover? Mami was so incessantly asking this and that to her, look.. Sierra to such shame." Said Arthur.

" Dear, don't be shy.. Let's just say this mom is your mom." Sahara.

And it managed to make the smile that had been expanding on Sierra's lips slowly fade. Arthur, who realized that, grasped Sierra's hand.

" You're okay.?" Said Arthur.

" It's okay." Sierra Sahut.

" Did mommy say the wrong thing.?" Sahara.

" Sierra's mother is dead, mom, and mom reminds her of that." Said Arthur.

" God.. Honey, forgive mommy? Mama doesn't know. But really, you can think of mom as your mom." The Sahara hugged the Sierra.

" Thank you aunt, I've been missing a mother's warm embrace for a long time. And aunt's hug really reminds me of my mom." Sierra Say.

" dear.. " Sahara said he was sad and embraced Sierra again.

" Hey, don't look like that. You can also think of papi as your papi if you want to." Cornelius.

" Thank you uncle." Sierra Say.

" Call us mami and papi like the cold man calling us, you are also our son now." Sahara.

" Okay, mommy and papi." Sierra Say.

Arthur was happy to see such a beautiful smile rising from Sierra's face.

' Thank God, there are still good people in this world.' Inner Sierra monologue.

" Oh, so it's melow like this. Sierra, how old are you.?" Sahara.

" It's been 20 years." Sierra Say.

" Sudsh should be enough to get married." Sahara.

And it managed to make Arthur who was drinking his tea choked.

" UHUK.!! UHUK.!"

" Hey, you can drink slowly no." Sierra panicked.

Sierra patted Arthur on the back, and Cornelius smiled with his own smile.

" Are they romantic.?" Sahara.

" Hm." Cornelius.

" Mommy, mami is going to kill me indirectly.?? " Said Arthur after managing to catch his breath.

" Mommy just says what it is, after all your age is enough to get married." Sahara.

" We've just been dating, it still takes a while.." Said Arthur.

" okay.. Okay.. Dear Sierra, when do you want to marry Arthur.??" Sahara.

'Come, how is this.. I'm talking about marriage.' Inner Sierra monologue.

Sierra looked at Arthur intending to ask for help with a blink of an eye, but Arthur did not even catch the code.

" Why are you.?" Said Arthur.

But then Arthur noticed Sierra's lip.

" Oh... You want to be as soon as possible ?." Said Arthur.

Arthur intentionally said so.

' What the. h... Fucking arthur.' Inner Sierra.

" Certainly darling? At last.. What kind of wedding do you want.? Uh wait.. We have to propose to your family first, have an engagement and get married." Sahara is enthusiastic.

" Ehehe.. That Sierra will think first mih." Said Sierra with a clumsy smile.

" Okay, baby, papi... We're finally gonna have grandchildren." Sahara is enthusiastic.

" Well, soon you'll propose to your parents." Cornelius.

" Hehe.. I. yes pi, mi." Sierra's speech is getting clunky.

' I'm stuck like this..' His inner.

Sierra glanced at Arthur and said kamit. Arthur, who had been holding back his laughter, smiled at Sierra.

" Why, baby.?" Said Arthur.

" Are you.?" Sahut Arthur's.

' This guy.. He's not very sensitive.' Inner Sierra.

" We don't have to buy something for Hwan.?" Sierra Say.

Arthur is actually aware of the code from Sierra, but he deliberately wants to trap Sierra deeper. More precisely he wanted to tie Sierra slowly through his parents.

" When? Who's she.?" Ask Sahara.

" Arthur mi's new pet, his name is Hwan. Sierra gave it that name." Said Arthur.

" Oh really.?? Is he funny.??" Sahara.

" Mi, Arthur's pet where there's something funny, mami knows for herself he's raising a beast. Papi's sure the noise was Arthur's new pet." Cornelius.

" Papi's smart." Said Arthur.

" The lion that had disturbed the cooking mami was Hwan.?" Sahara.

" Mommy's smart." Said Arthur again.

" This kid, he's grown up still buying weird pets. Last year you bought a cheetah, now a lion, next year what.?" Sahara.

" Maybe a bear." Said Arthur.

" Dear, how could you fall in love with such a cold guy, he's so annoying." Sahara to Sierra.

" It wasn't Sierra chasing Arthur mi, it was Arthur chasing Sierra." Said Arthur.

" UHUK.!! UHUK.!! "

And this time it was Cornelius who choked.

" Gosh, really.??" Sahara.

Both Sahara and Cornelius were surprised. They knew how his son was. In addition to cold and not easy to approach, Arthur also has a phobia of women.

" Hmm.." Sahut Arthur's.

" Wahhh, Mami is increasingly convinced Sierra is the future daughter-in-law of mami. You should get married soon, right pi.?" Sahara is enthusiastic.

" Yes, right.. " Sahut Cornelius who still wiped the traces of coffee sprinkles from his mouth.

" Tap... "

" We'll think about it." Arthur's speech cuts Sierra's word.

' Ish.. This guy..' Inner Sierra gomps themselves.

Sierra is in a state of complete misstep now. She wants to say that she is only pretending to be Arthur's girlfriend but Arthur has helped her a lot. Moreover, he also did not have the heart to see how enthusiastic the two Arthur's parents were to him.

' Dead me..' Inner Sierra while scratching his nape that does not itch.

Until finally night came, and the two parents Arthur goodbye home.

" Dear, when should we meet again okay, visit the residence mami and papi. Drag this guy if he won't drive you." Sahara.

" Yes mi, when did Sierra come to visit mami." Sierra Say.

" Good, mommy and papi go home firstwell, bye.." Sahara.

" The heart on the road mi, pi." Sierra Say.

" Yes dear." Saharan Saharan.

Finally their car left Arthur's residence. And now there's only Arthur and Sierra in there because Arthur doesn't like it when anyone else is in his house.

Even the waitresses were all men, and they only came in the morning, when Arthur was in the office. Most were just the ones guarding outside, as well as the hidden forces protecting her from afar.

" Hey, why are you making this lover's drama all the more complicated.?" Sierra said after not seeing the car there.

" I'm just following the groove.." Said Arthur.

" But if we lie to your parents, they'll be disappointed." Sierra Say.

" Then.. Why don't we just be lovers?." Arthur said with a face very close to the Sierra.

And that made Sierra have trouble swallowing his saliva. Sierra is not blind and does not see how dazzling Arthur is, but he is still not ready to re-commit. However what happened in his previous life was so imprinted in memory as if it was a trauma in itself for Sierra.

" Ekhem!! you don't have to be this close." Sierra said nervously while pushing Arthur's chest.

Arthur smiled at Sierra's fear as the rabbit the wolf would eat.

" You smell sour, go take a shower." Arthur finally said and walked away.

Sierra immediately smelled his ketek to be sure, but he didn't smell anything.

" Hey.!! it's delicious, I'm not sour. " Shouted Sierra.

" Maha.." Arthur's laughter was so crisp.

" Fuck arthur.!" Sierra Umbat.

" Eh, neat where do I take a shower? Where's the guest room?" Sierra said after waking up.

" Arthur... Wait, where's the bathroom." Sierra shouted after Arthur who had entered.
