Chapter 2 The dinner table

Chapter 2 Over two hours passed. My feet are hooked from standing and waiting, Ma'am Esmeralda still hasn't come out, how long will she stay there? His time is over, he has passed. My knee is just shaking from the hook

"Oh.. Miss Salsiva why are you here? " Sir Monteverde holding his teaching tool

"ahh.. because sir, ma'am didn't let me enter her subject because I was late. She was punishing me" I answered while bowing

"Don't worry, it's my time for you to come in," said sir. It seems that a thorn has been pulled out of me

"Thank you sir" I thanked sir. It's a good thing sir came because otherwise, ma'am will continue with that, that's exactly how she used to be, not leaving until the next subject is up.

"Okay class that's all for today, good-bye" ma'am said goodbye. I sighed because I really wanted to sit down because my feet and legs hurt

When ma'am left, I immediately sat down in my seat 'hayss thank God I'm sitting too' I said in my mind. I was startled when someone put a book on my desk

"Take it" he said coldly

"I thought you will borrow my books?" My forehead wrinkled when I said that to Xavier

" No I'm not, just take it back " he said. What's wrong with this man? I didn't speak and listened to sir's lecture.

"Aren't you going to be grateful?" Xavier suddenly asked. We are next to each other but we are not close

"Huh? Why would I?" I asked back here and he said 'tss'

"Nevermind" this cold promise before tormenting me. It's ugly

After three o'clock in the afternoon, we decided to have a meeting because we are going to do an activity in PE, it is Cheerdance, Hip-hop, Modern dance and Folk dance, every section must do those four dances because that is the final grades. us in the 4th quarter in second semester.

"Our practice time is free time and only at night," I said in front of my classmates

" But what if there are others who are not allowed at night? " Hannah asked, she was wearing round glasses that suited her. We don't have a choice because we only have a small amount of time when we have free time and then we practice four dances within 3 weeks, it won't be perfect right away because there are others who are slow learners when it comes to dance and there is still class

"In my opinion, of course you will ask a permission to your parents. Tell the truth to allow you. It's also for us and our grades we will graduate at the same time" I said and they immediately agreed. according

"It's really good that you became our president, because in addition to being smart and beautiful, you're also sexy," my eyebrows rose at Josh's words. I don't like the shape of his tongue

" Shut up Josh, you're not helping " it was my friend Carolin

"You're just jealous, Carol, because you like Josh" Denver teased, Carolin that makes her more annoying

"Disgusting" was the only thing Josh said, who didn't seem to like Denver's joke anymore

All of my classmates are excited about the combination of the two of them except for one cold Xavier. It's natural for the two of them to fight, it won't disappear every school year, memories won't be formed without this scene

"Yuck! Kaderi" pretended to be Carolin's art

" Yeee Jolin! Jolin! jolin! "

"I hope it's all Jolin"

" Jolin! Go Jolin! "

Their screams. I laughed because I couldn't stop Jolin as well

"Okay guys that's enough, tomorrow is our first practice. Let's wait for our last subject, that's all" I immediately returned to my seat. My classmates stopped their jokes.

In just a few months, I will graduate from grade 12 again, time is fast. I remembered Miko, how is she? It will be a long time before we meet again, hopefully he will fulfill his promise that he will come back here.

Away from our house, I could see three fancy cars parked outside the yard.

Who is the guest of grandpa and grandma?

I continued walking until I reached the yard, I saw a white car and the brand is Navara Caliber, the other one is red and the brand I saw is Isuzu Dmax and the last one is black, wow is it a Lamborghini? there was no one outside so I wondered as I always see grandfather and grandmother outside at this time while having coffee by the mango tree while they are sitting but why are they not here today?

I entered the house and there I saw three men sitting on our chair

Who are they?

"Who are you?" I asked confused "where are my grandparents?" I immediately took a knife from the kitchen and pointed it at them

"Woa, woa, woa. Will you just calm dowm first woman? " A man was scared while still blocking his hand, he seemed really scared while he was wearing a black jacket, actually they were all wearing black jacket

"How can I calm down? I don't know you" I was scaring them with the knife I was carrying "you are thieves? Dead people? Kidnapper? Answer if you don't want to be targeted by this knife I am carrying" My next question. This is the only way my courage will come out.

" What the H*ll? We're not what you think woman, how dare you calling us like that " an angry voice spoke. Am I still wrong?

Suddenly, grandma entered and her eyes widened at what she witnessed

"Hija, what are you doing? Put it down," ordered grandma, placing the picked vegetables on the table she was carrying

"Grandma I will not protect you from them" I sent grandma behind me to protect her

"Grandpa, you are mistaken, they are also my grandchildren, they are the children of my three children. I will tell you my children" it failed

"Crazy woman" said the angry man earlier

That's why it's so bad if you can speak English

"I'm sorry I was just worried, I'm really sorry I was just led by fear" when I apologized I gave the three of them a peace sign. Grandma laughed weakly because she was sure about what I was expecting

"Hey, get dressed, hija, and when you help me prepare food here for our guest," said grandma. I was about to leave when the man I didn't know spoke

"Grandma, can we stay here?" Grandma's smile immediately appeared on her lips

"Of course, grandchildren, I'm happy because you came here, it's been a long time since you visited, last I remember you were children when you came here with your parents, you make me miss you so much" grandma said crying, I left to give them privacy, that's their moment and I might cry too because I don't want to see anyone cry especially the important person in my life because I cry too

I went to my room and dressed in simple clothes and pajamas.

My grandmother is poor, she just saw her real grandchildren again. I don't know if it will be good for his three grandchildren to live here and my three brothers and I also live here, my brother and I can't leave because where are we going? In the corner?

After I got dressed, I went to the kitchen to help grandma prepare food, but grandma wasn't there, she was probably still talking to her grandchildren. I looked at the table in amazement when I saw the many groceries that were here today, there were too many.

I waited for grandma to come to the kitchen to start preparing something to cook. I'm sure I'll just cook the chicken that's in the sink because grandma isn't there yet, I washed it first before cutting it into just the right size. It's a good thing that my grandmother taught me how to cook, so it's easy for me.

I was immediately surprised when someone stood next to me, so for a few seconds I could still smell his perfume, which was obvious to love. He was the grumpy man earlier

"Let me handle this" he said really scared you, so I didn't immediately protest

He took off his sooty jacket and put it on the back of the chair, he was only wearing a white shirt now so you could see his muscular body and the size of his arms

"Staring is rude woman" he said as I returned the gesture, I just now realized that he was the one who cut the chicken meat because he took the knife from me

I turned around and was about to take the knife from his hand "it's me" I said but he just moved it away from me and stared at me so hard that I swallowed several times

Why am I nervous in his eyes?

"Ah, then I'll just cut the ingredients" I said and took a knife. I can't look at him like I'm being slaughtered by his gaze

I started slicing, I put the onion first, followed by the garlic. It's almost night, where are my grandfather and brothers, I didn't see them here earlier, I'm sure they're in the field. When my two brothers don't have school, they go with grandpa to the farm to help grandpa there

" Why did my grandma and grandpa adopt you and your brothers? " This man's initial question, it was obvious that he was talking to me. Why did he know that grandparents adopted us? Did grandma tell them? I don't know whether to answer or not.

"A-ahh... Long story" was my only answer as I continued what I was doing. I feel that he looks at me again even though I can't see him

Why is he staring?

KEZELLA

At the dinner table, they happily chatted while I was silent, they were even closer to my siblings. It was late when grandpa and my brothers came home from the farm

" Hija why are you quiet there? " Grandma asked me suddenly everyone was quiet

"H-ha? What is it,.. nothing" I smiled sparingly before taking a bite of rice and dish. Trivon cooks well, if he didn't cook I wouldn't know, I would have cooked but he really won't lose so I just let him

A while ago, grandma introduced her three grandchildren to Trivon, the grumpy one who cooked our dinner, Racelle, who is now wearing pajamas, and Raiven, who is wearing shorts and a black t-shirt, who is now busy eating.

"Grandma, grandpa, I was going to say goodbye," I said

"What's that hija?" Grandma asked

"I'm going home tomorrow night because we're going to practice dance for our PE, it's our last activity this semester" I answered before taking a bite of food

"Night? Hey, my daughter, our house is far from your school, so you shouldn't spend the night," grandma said.

"Yes grandpa, can't you practice during the day? Why do you have to spend the night?" Grandpa replied

"When we have free time, grandpa, we can rehearse, but it's difficult because we don't have enough time, especially since we were given only 3 weeks of days and then four more to dance. Then when we can't perform,... We will not be given grades and we will fail," I explained at length

"Sister, it's late, you're not allowed to go out, it's difficult because there are still a lot of idiots on the road, and it's a long way to go home from here," Kyron said.

"Oh, it's okay, there are some people who went home with me, right?" I said, messing up Kyron's hair, it looks like I convinced them

"Just be careful, you must have someone go home with you so that nothing bad happens to you" said grandpa, I smiled because I was allowed I thought it was not

There was silence for a few minutes when I couldn't stop asking

"Why are you staying here?" I asked them. It depends on who wants to answer. They were immediately stunned by the question as they didn't like the question. Shouldn't I have asked that?

Why are you asking? " A cold voice immediately answered that I knew who it was, from Trivon. He stared at me so hard that I got nervous again, why do I feel guilty if he looks?

I immediately looked away from him because I couldn't stand his burning gaze

"Nothing" was the answer

" So you're saying that we're not welcome here? " My eyes immediately widened when he said rudely

His two cousins ​​remained silent while he also looked at me.

"Huh? I didn't say anything like that" I immediately responded because he misunderstood what I said. Why does this man seem to be angry with me?

His blood boils to be honest.

"That's right, grandkids, eat now. It's bad to fight in front of grace" Grandma and I were disobedient and disobeyed, we both immediately became silent.

The Tomorrow I woke up early again. It's past four thirty but I'm already awake without even knowing why, I'm sure my body is used to waking up early.

I left the room and went to the kitchen to boil water, then I prepared something to cook. First I strained a takuri with water on the other side, then I strained rice next to my strained takuri. Then I took five pieces of eggs, carrots, onions, and garlic from our refrigerator and put them on the table and headed outside the house to pick a whole cabbage grown by grandparents. It was still dark around and the mist was still thick, it was so cold that I immediately returned to the kitchen

Egg with cabbage is as good as a dish. First, I beat the five eggs and seasoned them, then I sliced ​​the onion and garlic, I sliced ​​the carrots thinly, and finally I sliced ​​the cabbage thinly.

While I was waiting for the first thing I cooked to cook, I took some chicken from the fridge to grill. I first took the hot water and put it in the thermos to cool down.

Fortunately, grandparents' grandchildren brought food, so there is a lot of stored food now

One hours before I finished cooking, I ate first because I was going in early so Mrs. would scold me again. Robles and I will not be admitted to his subject. After I ate, I went to the room to get a towel because I was going to take a shower in the pot because there was no water in the tap and we didn't have any storage so I was going to take a bath in the pot which was a little far from our house. When I left the house, I saw three cars parked in our vacant lot

I brought the bucket, mug, shampoo and soap. After I arrived at the posto, I saw men bathing at the posto, your college students so I stopped, I turned around to go home first but it was too late when they saw me

"Hey, Kezella is pre" he grabbed the attention of his friends

I walked back but I still heard their shouts

"Kez, come with us"

"Your body is really beautiful dear"

"Kez you're here, I'll still love you"

Their shouts. I want to throw up because they are rude to you, why are men like that when they see a woman they are rude

After I got home, I sat on the chair, I had no choice but to wait a few minutes to take a bath in the pot. The other people in the house are not awake yet. By the way, there are three rooms in this house, my room is in the middle, the right side of the grandparents and the left side of the five, they must be crowded in there because the rooms here are small. My two brothers who are here in the living room want to sleep but the three cousins ​​don't want to agree, they want to be next to each other, I don't know but they are very close To Be Continued...
