practice today

Chapter 7

I'm just at the gym, we have practice today, we'll finish at around 5:30 pm and if your boss goes with you, go there and wait for me to bring you. maybe it will rain later!” Clyden said to me as he put his things away after our class.

I just nodded, but didn't think that he would wait any longer. I will go home early and walk so that the rain doesn't catch up. I can walk that, far but I can.

I won't wait at the tiger village anymore, I don't want to hope that he will give me a ride home.

When I left the gate, his car was already there and he was still outside with his two male friends.

When he saw me, they went inside.

I ignored them and continued walking. Maybe it won't rain today because even at 5 o'clock the sky is still bright.

I missed his car, maybe because they were waiting for someone, so they didn't leave yet. I was far away when his car stopped by my side, I was scared at first because I thought whose car might be kidnapped.

"Get on, miss!" said the driver

I shook my head because the driver might be scolded for letting me ride.

"Don't worry brother, thank you, I'll just walk." I continued walking when I heard his voice

"Hey curly! Come on board, don't feel special, what do you want me to carry you?" He shouted

I was surprised but I went back and rode in the very back. Because he was in the front next to the driver, in the middle were his two friends and I was in the back.

"You're here with us!" His friend's nanny also has curly hair.

I shook my head at what he said

"Don't tell me bro, crush Miss Kulot!" sangkit said laughing.

"I'm just being nice bro!" he answered

"You're angry with Jessy, I'm reporting you"

"Why? What am I? Girlfriend? Will he own me?” it looks like they will fight again.

"shut up if you don't want to walk home." shouted Tiger, silencing them.

"This is Mart because the skin!" one complained

The driver took them to their homes before we went home.

After we got home as usual, I got dressed and then went to her room and asked her what she wanted to do or what she wanted for dinner.

I found him lying on the bed without getting dressed, he was dumbfounded. It's like he's not himself because he's still wearing his shoes.

"Sir, do you need anything or what do you want to have for dinner tonight?"

He looked up at me but I was lost in his gaze because it lasted for a few seconds. I can't read the contents of his gaze.

So I repeated my question again.

"Sir, what do you want for dinner? I'm going to cook early so you can eat because I still have a lot to do."

"Take off my shoes because I'm too lazy to get up." I immediately did what he wanted, I came closer and took off his shoes.

"I want to eat pickled rice." he said after I removed his shoes.

I stood up and took off my top and changed and turned my back on what he did.

"Thank you for seeing the body of your crush!" he says

How did he know that I had a crush on him and I didn't tell anyone.

"What do you mean?"

"You! You have a crush on me right? Don't deny it because it's obvious. I hope your feelings only end in a crush because you will only be hurt because first of all, the type of woman I want is not like you."

I stared in front of him, straight to the point without even flinching. The pain is deep in the heart "Don't worry, I will remember that, I will never fall for you, I will not let myself fall for someone like you who is so high in pride! Alright, I'm going to cook, you just wait there."

"Ok, I'll come with you. I want to see how you cook my food, maybe later you'll put poison or witchcraft on it."

"Do you think that I will charm you? I didn't say I was a witch!" I am so annoyed with this man.

What witch is he talking about? This is really going crazy, his grandmother should know about it to prevent it from getting worse.

“I want to make sure that you prepared my food cleanly. I don't want to get sick."

"You're really going crazy, madam needs to know, because if you don't catch it, you'll continue to go crazy." I said

"And grandma also needs to know that it's because of you! Because the one he hired as my personal maid is a witch like you!”

I really frowned at what he said.

I recoiled from his approach to me.

"Ok woman deny more! You know when I prove that you are really bewitching me, I will hang you upside down, that's your punishment!"

I couldn't breathe properly because his head was so close to me, I could feel his breath on my face while he was talking, I looked away when our eyes met because he was so close that my heart was beating abnormally .

I pushed him on his chest with my hand because if I didn't do that he might be out of balance, it would be difficult for him to kiss me.

“I don't know what you're talking about! If you are bewitched, your women did it because I don't know anything about those witches and I don't even believe in that! Wait, how do you feel when you say I am bewitching you?" I raised my eyebrows

"Because I can't sleep thinking about it...you didn't go out!" said biya and returned to his bed.

He didn't continue what he said, I left his room shaking.

I was in the kitchen and got something to cook for him. I turned my back while slicing an onion.

I screamed in shock when he suddenly spoke behind me.

With the strength of my voice, other assistants got a glimpse of where we were.

"what's going on here?" asked the old assistant

"He's not there because he screamed!" he answered

"Scream out loud, you thought what happened!" Whispering that I'm the same age as the assistant, there are as many assistants here and there who know their names because we can't talk to each other.

"You surprised me! You suddenly show up and talk behind your back!” I answered him because he seems to blame me.

"It's nothing, Manang. I just want to see how he cooks the food for me, because maybe later his cooking won't be good and I'll get sick" he said to which the old man agreed.

"Sir, the good cook should be the one you hired to cook." they say I'm the same age again.

"mica madam likes it so don't complain about that! Go back to your work!” the old man said and they went out.. my name was Mica.

He sat in front of me while I cut an onion in front of him. The smell of onion brought tears to his eyes.

I took a tissue and gave it to him.

"Because you don't know if I entered your ISPIP that I'm going to spoil you and I need to watch while cooking, just put a CCTv here in the kitchen and watch it in your room."

His eyes and nose keep getting red from rubbing with the tissue. I want to laugh at the way he looks like a tomato with his nose cut off.

"Just go back to your room, I'll take you there when I'm done."

"No, I want to know how you cook it because I know you have a secret."

I let him sit, it's up to you, he watched me until I finished and put what I cooked on the table in front of him.

"Ok, eat now, you can see that I made it clean and I didn't put anything else in it. So if you feel that someone is bewitching you, it's not me, it's someone else, you know there is a woman who likes you and is bewitching you. Or maybe it's because you're a womanizer and then you hurt a woman so you were bewitched!" I said to him

"What woman? I'm not what you think! I'm not a playboy!”

After he said that he didn't eat, he said he didn't want to eat my food but he finished what I put on his plate and added more.

"I was just hungry so I finished it, don't feel like you thought it was good to cook!" He took a drink of water and walked out of the kitchen.

Levi Pov

It's 11 o'clock at night but I can't sleep, I always see his face, it's 1 am when I fall asleep but it doesn't take long for me to get distracted and wake up.

Because I had an unbelievable dream.

I saw myself dressed in full black while getting married, then when the woman approached me, I realized that the village maid was the woman I was marrying in my dream.

I sat on my bed while my hands were shaking, what does that dream mean? Could she really be a witch? Why is he there even in my dream and what's worse is that we are getting married in my dream?

The next day I didn't go to school, our driver only took him because I wanted to ask the doctors maybe they could help me. And if they don't answer my question, I will go to the hospital and ask questions there, I'm afraid that I might end up going crazy because of what he did.

It's 10 in the morning after I get dressed.

I already know a doctor.

The old woman's house that grandma knew was far away. He also always knows me because he was at home when I was a child.

I saw him selling vegetables in the kitchen of his house.

He immediately invited me to meet me.

He asked me what my purpose was when I visited him.

"You were little when I always came to you and now you are so big. What is the reason for your sudden visit here? I'm sure you have an important reason.”

I was silently wondering if I should really say the reason but I have already decided that I will say it because that is also what I want, to know the answer to my feelings.

"I came here because it seems like someone is casting a spell on me!"

The old man was surprised "how did you say that?"

"Because I can't get him out of my mind! I always think of him, I close my eyes when I see his face. Then last night I couldn't sleep, I forced myself to sleep and I fell asleep too, but he wasn't as deep asleep, I was worried because I was having bad dreams"

He was smiling while listening to my story.

"What did you dream about?" he asked me with a smile.

"please help me! I'm serious! I dreamed that I was married to a woman."

"Is that woman the reason you can't sleep? Is she also the girl you always have in mind?"

I nodded slowly. "and do you know him or have you seen him in person?"

I nodded again "yes!"

The old man laughed, I was surprised because what was really funny about what I said? I wouldn't be here anymore, I wouldn't be able to get anything from this old man.

"There is only one answer to that, you fell in love with the village girl! I know you don't believe it, but ask yourself and you'll know I'm right. When you fall in love with someone, he hangs around in our mind. It's like we can always think of him even if we don't like him, our heart is the dominant one. No matter where you tell all of that, the answer is that you are still in love."

I went home disappointed with that old man. Because what he says is impossible, I don't like him.

I don't like the village girl. You might have a crush, but loving him will never happen.

I went home and locked myself in the room thinking about what I found out, is this the time to fall in love again? But why the village woman? Why another assistant? Shouldn't it be that if I fall in love again, it will be with a woman who is more than my past? Shouldn't it be the woman I can be proud of with my ex when we meet again?

Is Levi still your assistant? You're embarrassing Levi, think about it! I whispered to myself.

What should I do? Maybe my feelings aren't that deep if it's true that I like the village girl. I should avoid it, maybe I can avoid it.

I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep thinking.

I woke up to find my room dark. I got up and turned on the light inside and when I looked at my phone it was 7pm.

I left the room when I felt hungry, I remembered that I hadn't eaten lunch yet, I was hungry and it was 7 in the evening and I still hadn't had lunch. Where is that woman who didn't bring me food?

'Levi, shouldn't you avoid it?' as if someone whispered,

When I got down, I found Manang, our old female helper who cooks.

"are you hungry? You sit there, it's close, I cooked your dinner because your personal maid isn't there yet, Mario didn't pick her up because.."

"Isn't he picked up? Didn't I tell him to pick me up at 5 o'clock?"

I don't think I was annoyed because the village driver didn't pick him up.

"He said he told Mario not to pick him up tonight."

"why?" I asked in surprise

"That's what he didn't say, maybe he'll do something at school."

What are you going to do when there is no one at school at 7 o'clock, except for those who play basketball.

I waited for what Manang was cooking to cook. I called the guard at the school and asked if there were any students in the school, they said there were none.

Manang served what he cooked for me as soon as he finished cooking. I've lost my appetite but I ate a little but it's a waste because Manang is tired.

I hung out in the living room downstairs and watched TV. It was 9 o'clock in the evening and there weren't many servants wandering around the house because they were resting. Where is the village girl? But do you remember me? Shouldn't I know anything about him? I turned off the TV and was about to go back to the room when I heard a car stop outside the gate. I looked at him coming down from the window.

I pressed the TV remote again and pretended to watch, until the door opened.

I was surprised to see it. "What time is it?" I asked without looking at him. "

"I'm sorry, sir, it took me a while! Because my friend invited me to have dinner outside!"

"and who among us pays you? Do you prioritize having dinner with your friend over your boss? If my mother didn't cook for me, I wouldn't have dinner because you flirted outside? If you want to flirt tell my grandma's that you want to leave your work. I woke up at 7 o'clock at night and you weren't here, I didn't even have lunch because of you. Maybe you're forgetting that you were in that school and you made friends because of me, I'm the one who's sending you to school and then you're putting other people first?"

I saw tears running down his cheeks, did what I said hurt?

"It's okay for me to be angry because that's your right because you're paying me right! It's ok to scold me every day that I can study because of you, but to call me flirty you have no right to scold me for that! Because first I am not flirty and I have never flirted! If you want me to leave ok fine.”

He ran to the stairs when he said that.

What? Will he leave? Is that right?

As for you, Levi is the one with you, grandma isn't here yet to talk to him. What should I do to apologize? No, I don't want him to take care of his life, I don't care about him anymore, he can't leave if he wants to.
