That afternoon, I saw Auntie Rose and Uncle Sam quite busy preparing the ingredients for the barbecue. Uncle Sam is auntie Rose’s husband, and he is Madam Emma’s driver. They have been faithfully working with Madam Emma for a long time. Since Daniel in the first grade. It’s right that Rose loves this family very much. Coincidentally, they are husband and wife and they don’t have any child. So, indirectly, Daniel became the poison and antidote in the luxurious bungalow house. I saw that Christy also helped auntie Rose to lighten her work.
I approached Christy who was cutting the watermelon and pudding.
” Siso… Siso. What’s up? “
Christy grinned.
I just smiled at her.
” So, How is it? Does is good to live here ? ” I asked.
” What a nonsense question. It’s more than good of course, Siso! “
” Where is Caden? “
I looked around, trying to searching for Caden figure but I couldn’t see him.
” Caden, he’s with Danny bro since morning. He’s playing games with Danny bro upstairs.”
I smile thinly. Daniel Whitlock, just mentioning his name makes my heart tremble already. Even though he and I are like a dog and a cat, but if he can treat my siblings well, I will be happy. If it’s involving about my siblings, even this hard heart of mine can become soft like snow that melts under the warmth of the sun. Lol! What’s wrong with me? I think I’m being crazy now.
I turned my head when I saw Madam Emma coming out of her room. Madam Emma’s room is located on the ground floor. Next to the second living room. Below there are only two rooms, namely Madam Emma’s room and auntie Rose and Uncle Sam’s room for husband and wife.
Auntie Rose said, they are old so they don’t have much energy to climb the stairs every day. So the room on the top floor is only reserved for young people like us.
I raised my back and stepped out. I take a walk around this three-story bungalow. In the yard there is a gazebo next to the fish pond. I don’t even know what kind of fish they are. The landscape in the yard of this house is really beautiful. With the roar of the sound of the water fountain that comes from the fish pond, with the greenery of the carpet grass and the palm trees that stand upright to fence the border of the house, as well as the flower trees of various looks, colours and shapes. It’s really exciting and peaceful. It must be uncle Sam’s duty to take care of it and clean it.
My feet slowly walked towards the back of the house. There is a swimming pool that can be seen from above my room. I sat on one of the lazy benches available. I smiled happily whenever I thinking about my bad luck changed just in overnight.
” Hi, seems like someone is in good mood today?”
I gasped. He again?
” Can’t you please don’t disturb me? You can’t see others happy at all! “
” I don’t care. What were you thinking earlier? “
He grinned. I looked away. Busy body!
” I’m asking you. Can’t you hear me? “
” Aishhh….you’re really noisy, you know! Just go! “
” Pardon? This is my house. You’re the one who should go! “
Dup!
My heart feeling like stop. Just like there’s a sharp dagger cutting my feelings right now. I feel so sad. I know I’m just a stranger who stay in your house, no need to say that. I’m here because of your mom, you know?
” Umm…I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to say that. I’m sorry, okay? “
From the corner of my eye I could see him staring at me. I don’t know what his facial expression is. But hearing from his voice, I can imagine he regrets it.
That’s why, no need to always say something without even think about others feeling. Now, good luck! Hehehe…
” Charlee? “
I kept quiet. I didn’t even look at his face.
” Charlee! I’m sorry I seriously didn’t mean it. I promise not to say that again. You, you want to be a man, but you’re easily upset. It’s not cool at all! “
Because I’m a girl, I feel bad. Stupid jerk!
” Okay…okay…like this, I’m actually tired of fighting with you. And I don’t like it. We already live together. It’s not good if we keep fighting every time we see eachother. So, how about we make peace, you want? “
Reconciled? I turned and stared at his face. He looked at me quite seriously.
” I don’t want to! “
” But, why? “
” Because I don’t want to! “
” I know but, why don’t you want to? “
” Because it’ll be easier for you to bully me later, right? “
” What are talking about? Seems like you like to think badly about me, right? But, at least try to think something good about me. ” He grumbled unsatisfied.
” I can’t think anything good if it’s you. “
He stared at me sharply.
” I’m not like what you think! “
” Oh yeah? Then tell me, what possessed you to beat an underage girl badly that time? “
Daniel sighed heavily. Long silence.
” Fine! I don’t even want to know. “
He turned back to look at me.
” It’s your fault too, who told you to dress like a man? “
” That’s not an excuse. It’s over, there’s no need to bring it up again. “
” You’re the one who brought it up earlier. “
” You’re the cause! “
” Me? It’s your fault but you doesn’t want to admit it. “
” In this case, I’m not wrong at all! “
He looked down and sighed again. Maybe he tired of serving my stubborn attitude.
” Charlee, please…. I’m too lazy to fight with you. And if mommy know about this, she surely will scold us. Fine then! Me as a brother, let me give in. Satisfied? “
Yes! I smiled widely. The victory was finally mine.
” Peace? “
He extended his hand. I didn’t want to hesitate a bit longer so I welcomed him with pleasure.
” Peace no war. “
We laughed. Our eyes met. Daniel stared at me softly. Kinda long. I started to feel uncomfortable while sitting. Slowly I pulled my hand away. He smiled sweetly at me. Oh man, don’t smile at me like that. You can melt my heart which is said to be hard. And this heart is kinda stubborn also, it is very easy to melt!
In The Evening…
The eating event starts. Madam Emma only invited her close friends and Daniel also invited his friends. There is also a lot of food. My sister look so beautiful in her new clothes. As usual, I only wear jeans, a short-sleeved T-shirt and a cap. That is my identity. Not to mention the feeling of wanting to change.
I sat in the gazebo while dangling my legs. Watching people which I don’t know. I am proud of my sister who are good at adapting. Good at keeping manners. If mom and dad can see, surely they will also be proud. I saw Madam Emma waving her hand at me.
I slowly walked towards her.
” Charlee, let me introduce you to my best friends. This is Lady Diana, this is Katie and this one is Farah. “
Woah, seems like Madam Emma’s best friends are rich just like her. Lol, Charlee.. of course her friends will be rich just like her. She’s already in the upper class, so, her friends must be among the upper class as well.
” Friends, this is my hero. Her name is Charlee. She is the one who saved me before.”
Madam Emma proudly introduced me to them. I smiled sweetly while shaking hands with the women who deserve to be called aunts.
I excused myself when I saw a glimpse of Sarah who was chatting with a man. Maybe that’s her fiance.
” Sarah! “
She turned and smiled at me.
” Charlee, have you eaten? “
” I’ll eat later. Are you just arrived? “
” It’s been a few hours ago. I was hanging out at the back pool with Mr. Daniel friends. “
I nodded and looked at the man who was with Sarah. I’ve seen him before, but where?
” Umm, Charlee, right? “
Huh? Does he know my name? This man is also handsome. Dimpled, quite charming. No wonder Sarah not interested with Daniel. Her fiancé is more handsome than that guy.
I frowned trying to remember who this man was.
” Both of you know each other? ” Sarah was surprised.
” Umm, it’s like I’ve seen him before, but I don’t remember. “
I grinned while scratching my head that I didn’t even feel itchy.
” Well, I used to eat at the restaurant where the you used to work, remember? Daniel’s friends who made a fuss and ask you many question that time, remember? ” He explained earnestly, probably trying to help me to remember him.
Ah… I just remembered. No wonder I feel like I’ve seen his face before. Yes, the dimple guy. I carved a sweet smile.
” Ohoho…yeah…yeah, I remember now. How are you? “
” I’m good. How’s you? Is it fun to staying here? “
It seems that he already knows about me being the adopted child of this rich family.
” So far so good. Better than before. ”
” It’s good if it’s like that. So, how’s you and Danny? Are you guys still in war? ”
I laughed out loud, and so did that dimple guy.
” I feel like I’m missing something here. You didn’t even tell me? ”
Sarah sulked.
” I’ll tell you later, baby. ”
” Oh yes, Charlee, let me introduce you, this is my fiance, Harry. “
The man smiled while extending a greeting.
” Just like I guessed. “
I greeted him happily.
” Come on, let’s go to the back. “
Sarah pulled my hand. I had no choice but to follow these two lovebirds. From afar I saw Daniel chatting briskly with his friends. Ah! that’s right, those friends had also come to Aunt Jane’s restaurant before. There is the curly hair guy, as well as the one with glasses and the sweet black one. The fat one was there too.
They all fell silent when they saw me approaching.
” I think you guys know her, right? This is Charlee. ”
Daniel pulled my hand and make me sat by his side. I’m furious. There is no need to hold on to everything.
” Eh, aren’t you…the tomboy that you…”
The bespectacled man’s words stopped when the fat man elbowed him.
I stared at them sharply. They also already know the true story apparently. My eyes turned to Daniel. He just grinned while showing me the peace sign. Harry also smiled widely. Meanwhile, Sarah was in a daze.
” Yes, that’s true. But now we’ve reconciled, right Charlee? ”
Daniel stared at me with the full of meaning. I just replied with a sweet smile.
” Wow! How can you guys be reconciled? “
That sweet black guy started being busybody.
” Now we’ve become adopted siblings. And we lived in the same roof, so of course we should make peace, right Charlee? ”
I just nodded slowly.
” Ooo… adopted siblings, right? Be careful Dan, who knows one day you’ll adopt her to be your girlfriend. “
The curly hair guy started making a joke. And it’s inviting uproarious laughter of everyone there at the pool. Makes my face turned to red.
” Hahaha, I see your adopted sister is beautiful also. ” The chubby one added flavor.
What the heck! It’s enough of teasing me now. Where should I go? Daniel just smiled shyly. His eyes are dimly looking at me. Eye to eye. But only for a moment, because I heard some people clearing their throats and some pretending to cough.
I just looked at the floor in shame. Hiding my tomato face behind the cap on my head.
