just playing a prank

Chapter 4

Facing the mirror while fixing herself. The smile cannot be erased from the lips. My heart is not tight as if it has lost its thorn.

Wearing a sleeveless peach fitted dress, and flat sandals, a black pouch, and a white hair heart pin, I came out of my own room where I had been imprisoned for a month.

I bowed my head and exposed the dear and elegant shoes at the door. In the slow examination method, I looked at him from head to toe of his body.

If external appearance is the basis, he himself is my defense. From her hair as black and perfect as her eyebrows and eyelashes.

He was wearing black sunglasses so that the perfect shape of his nose was prioritized even more.

Her red lips screaming how soft and sweet they are.

The shape of his face. The perfect line of his jaw.

Her ears have small earings that made her stronger than before.

Wrapped around him was the usual white long sleeve. It is covered with a blue coat and blue pants underneath.

His silver wrist watch shines and symbolizes his personality.

Nationalistic, humanitarian, caring for others.

"Are you judging me through your mind Natasha? That was illegal. I'm not accusing you. I'm just stating the fact." If I were a volcano, I'd have been blown away by his smile.

Last day we could barely talk. He was very cold but now this is him. Smile and do nothing.

I avoided my baling and pretended to knock on the door. "What is this? Is this a door?” Awkward. It was stressful so I made something that could transfer his vision.

I heard his soft laugh and then sighed. "Don't worry. If staring at me is a crime, then we will reunite in a jail.”

What? If staring at me is a crime then we will reunite in a jail. I haven't set foot in college life yet but I can say that I'm not ignorant.

Does he want to convey that it's not just me who stares and praises him but also him. We're mutual. We're mutually praising our figure out. But what is commendable to me?

Maybe I need to go to college, maybe my knowledge is not enough. I'm delusional. My conclusion is wrong, isn't it? Impossible.

“You're exquisite. I can't control my mind. Sorry for that but I'm not sorry.”

Exquisite? What's that? Alien word? What else would you expect from the governor? He just has to be good. Just have to be smart.

"We're getting late Natasha. We should go now.” I nodded in response so he started to walk while I steadied him.

We were outside the mansion and I was greeted by the presence of the sun that I hadn't felt and seen in quite some time. I closed my eyes and put my arm over my face.

The man stopped walking opposite the shade of the fountain so when I got there I stopped like him.

His presence focused on me when he spoke. "Stay here. I'm going to pick my car." I nodded and he immediately left to go to his garage.

A minute later, the white car came out. It shines and dust itself is avoided to stick to it.

The car brand is Vios. It's different from the car he used when we drove when I first arrived here at the mansion.

Actor and governor. What else would you expect?

It stopped in front of me and the window went down revealing his serene face. "Hop on."

I just nodded and went around to the other side of the car. I got into the passenger seat and fastened the seatbelt.

He started sniffing. The movement was soft but some veins formed in the arm.

You will not feel dread. You won't feel nervous. Because as quiet as the engine is, the movement and attachment to the manibila are just as smooth.

He pressed something in the front and the silence between us was replaced by the rhythm of violins, cymbals, drums, and guitars.

Nobody knows

Just why we're here

Just why we're here

Could it be fate?

Or random circumstances

At the right place

At the right time

Two roads intertwine

And if the universe conspired

To meld our lives

To make us

Fuel and fire

Then I know

Where ever you will be

So too shall I be

"Close your eyes

Dry your tears

'Coz when nothing seems clear

You'll be safe here

From the sheer weight

Of your doubts and fears

Weary heart,” In the middle of sniffing, he even managed to sing along to the chorus of the song. Again I was impressed. Once again I got drunk and drowned in his action. If earlier he was singing looking straight at the road, now he is looking at me.

"You'll be safe here."

"Don't look at me, Gov. Maybe we'll have an accident." I looked away at the same time. I just turned to look outside the window but I heard his short laugh, maybe my reaction looked stupid.

I never spoke again. He never sang again. His playlist is gentle and full of instruments that don't hurt the ears.

Soon, we stopped at the parking area of ​​'Art Coffee Shop'. The cafe I used to work at.

"Go ahead. Your cousin is there. I'll wait for you here."

"You're not coming?" He shook his head in response, which is why I removed the attachment from my body. I opened the door and went.

Venus was really shameless and managed to shout here. Lots of customers, nothing changed. There is, it's what Venus is wearing.

She is wearing a light yellow fitted dress and a denim jacket. Not like our old uniform.

"I miss you Mars. Let's go inside the office." He grabbed my wrist so I leaned against him.

I was shocked and realized where we are now facing. I blinked and pulled insan's hair.

"Are you drunk? What do we do with that? That room is for authorized person only. You want to accuse us of being thieves?”

I just saw him now and he was still drunk. I was on drugs because of my sudden disappearance.

"Just Natasha. We will go in and you will tell a story." He opened the door and quickly pulled me out.

I just got in here. The space is big. We walked and sat on the sofa. We face each other as the nervousness creeps up on me. While he was still calm.

I just hope that Gov doesn't follow suit so that this stupid cousin of mine doesn't catch us. We are going to talk why are we still here?

"Is it really necessary here Venus? Why don't we just talk at the counter? We might get caught here." Maybe if I really couldn't hold back, I would have kicked it earlier. Gaga is still smiling.

"Don't worry man. I am the law here. Go ahead and start telling the story. Don't miss anything."

I took a deep breath before starting to recount the events from the beginning.

I have explained everything in detail because they are still fresh.

"So you mean, Gov is your guardian? Awet you insan, you didn't even prank and now you are under him. I wish I was just playing a prank."

"I don't even understand people. He's a mess. He is mysterious, cold to act and speak but you will be afraid of him. You would think that, I was locked up just because I tried to meet you."

"Our governor insan is possessive. Your story is shocking, gaga. But I just noticed that you are getting more beautiful. You're white and you're sexy in what you're wearing. Did he give that? You're a spoiled brat."

"I didn't ask for them insan. I don't know because of him. It's weird but I have to live with it. You? How are you?"

A bigger smile appeared on his lips. His eyes narrowed and then he let out a sigh.

"I was promoted insan." The girl even clapped her hands to convey that she was too happy. "Think about it man, I won't go to school to move up in life because my business is already thriving and well-known."

"Huh? Business? What business?” I'm nervous to ask here.

How can he get capital to build a business? What kind of business is it?

"The Gov didn't tell you?" I shook my head to convey that the man had not said anything about his business. "I am the manager of this art coffee shop. He transferred it to human."

My brain has barely accepted that insan owns the coffee shop so now that I'm in the car with the governor, my brain is floating in space.

I tried to talk to him about it but he didn't say a word.

There is no intention to explain everything. He always just gets me drunk. My system is always about him. Why is he mysterious? Why doesn't he let me know why he does that?

During the whole trip to mom's place, we didn't say a word. Nothing has changed in the smoothness of his movements. The window in front of him was open and only one hand was on the steering wheel while his other elbow rested on the window and his finger was on his steering wheel.

Just like before, he didn't accompany me to visit mom again. But that's fine with me because I'm not ready to bring a boy to mom. I want to introduce mom to the man I know will accept her. The man who is ready to love me till the end.

I didn't want to get hurt so I didn't try. At least I never made time for such things. I'm not ready to be hurt. I am crushed. My heart is broken because of the reality.

I entered mom's room with bad timing because she was fast asleep. I couldn't wake him up so I just kissed his forehead.

My 1 year payment for mom's needs is fully paid, only her special psychiatry's is the only thing I haven't finished paying yet.

A special doctor is needed to prioritize the mother. That's the reality. If you don't have money, you will be sidelined. That's why I'm all in life.

The doctor told a story about mom and we left the room together.

"Doc, I'm sorry I can't give money right now. Something unexpected happened and I stopped working."

Doc stopped. Thomson so I am too. I turned to his face with round glasses and bangs.

Actually, I really have a crush on Doc. Because his face is peaceful. That's cold yet adorable. Kind, smart, and professional. Boyfriend material, so I've always said, I won't have a boyfriend if I'm not like him.

"Don't you know anything Natasha? Someone made a full payment to me and the amount tripled. I wonder where you got that kind of money. The financial payment to your mother is also increased. Like mine, its value has tripled.”

When I got back to the car, I immediately pounced on him with sharp questions about what he had done. But just like how he ignored my question in the past, it's still the same.

I don't know if I should just say thank you because I really don't know what reason he has for this.

It's too impossible that he doesn't have a reason. It could also be that he needs something from me, so he bribes me early. But I can't think of anything he can get from me. He has nothing to gain because I am nothing compared to him.

I'm facing him today while eating lunch at an expensive restaurant. Maybe he doesn't say anything when I talk to him, he doesn't answer me.

"Isn't that boy Gov?"

My hearing and sight turned to the other table but only in a secret action.

Two women are facing each other and they are looking the same way we are. I don't know if my friend heard that people around him were talking about him or if he just didn't care. Many people are already whispering because they are getting to know him as time goes on "Who is with him? His girlfriend?”

"Oh my god. How is sister Margo? Did I think they were?”

The governor stood up and quickly grabbed my wrist that was restrained by the cutlery. I stood up and we started to leave the restaurant while some people followed.

His legs are long so his step is wide. He held my wrist so tightly that I knew it was turning white because my blood could no longer flow properly.

It opened the door to the passenger seat so I went straight there. He also closed the door and ran around to his place.

Before the gossipy people could reach him, he had already driven the car.

Sweat formed on his forehead and ran down his saintly face.

"Can you wipe my sweat princess?"
