Chapter 7 - Welcome to My Home

Nuansa unpacked Neptunus' groceries which are all just bras of all sizes. She still doesn't know where they're going now, and she hasn't ask Neptunus since Neptunus ran his car because she's focused on unpacking those bras.

"You accept it?" asked Neptunus, who's now driving his car while eating cassava chips.

"I have no choice. Besides, what will people think of you if you have these bras?"

"To make people not think anything weird about me because of those bras, then I don't need to show those bras to anyone."

"Oh, right, hehehe."

"But I thought you rejected it. It's okay if you rejected it."

"You insisted me, so yeah, I was forced to take it."

"Hey, you rejected it last night, and I didn't force you to take it after I bought those all."

"Actually, my bras have started to have black spots, so it doesn't matter if I take this."

Neptunus then just snorted.

"Ehm, thank you for these bras," said Nuansa, she then grabbed her cassava chips' basket and intended to get out of the car with the bras that Neptunus had bought. The girl did not realize that the car is still on its way. Nuansa then opened the door where she's sitting and was shocked when she realized that the car is still on its way, her legs almost came out.

"What are you doing?!" Nuansa asked Neptunus after closing the car door again.

"Now? Driving my car while eating these cassava chips. Your cassava chips are delicious, you are really good at cooking," replied Neptunus.

"Hehehe, thank you, but it was made by my mom, I mean, hey! I didn't ask you for your assessment of those cassava chips! Since when did you run this car?!"

"Since you checked those bras."

"Where are you taking me?! I have to sell my cassava chips!"

"You are my hired girlfriend, so I have the right to take you to go anywhere, I pay you."

"But-"

"I'll introduce you to my family."

"What?"

"I told you last night."

"You didn't say it!"

"I said it! But you just walked away!"

"Eh?"

"Huft, never mind. Whether you heard it or not last night, I still have the right to take you to my house even without an appointment."

"Yes, but-"

"Don't worry about your cassava chips, I'll take care of it."

"Oh? Hahahaha."

"Why?" asked Neptunus, frowning.

"Nothing, you just look like a mommy boy who's always spoiled for money, so I'm not sure you want to sell those chips."

"Hey, I'm your client, talk a little polite."

"Hahaha, ok, ok."

The atmosphere was silent for a few moments.

"So, every day you work as a seller of cassava chips?" asked Neptunus.

"Yes," replied Nuansa.

"And you do not look as tomboy as last night."

"Oh, you are measured my chest, right?"

"I never looked at your chest!"

"Last night, once. That was because you were caught in the act, today you must be harassing me again, but you don't admit it."

"I didn't do it!"

"I doubt it."

"You! Grrr! Forget it. So, you have a sibling?" 

"I'm the first and last child. How about you?"

"I'll explain it at home, you will understand about it later."

"Hm? Why?

"You will see."

Nuansa then could only roll her eyes. They then arrived at a mall.

"You said we are going to your house?" said Nuansa.

"Oh come on. Are you sure my family won't be surprised by your look?"

"Surely he wants to buy another bra for me," muttered Nuansa.

"What did you say?" asked Neptunus.

"Emh, no, nothing. Listen to me, Mr. Bimasakti, I like to be myself-"

"Of course you like to be yourself, you were born as Nuansa, not Selena Gomez, no matter what you have to be yourself, you can't force yourself to be Selena Gomez."

"There it is! That's me!"

"Of course this is you, no one said you are your mom."

"Argh, shut up!

"So basically, what do you want to do?"

"I want us to go straight to your house and let your family know me like this."

"But I can't guess how their opinions about you later."

"Take it easy, I'm just your hired girlfriend."

"But they will think that you're my girlfriend."

"But the truth?"

"Huh! It's up to you."

"Good."

"This is the first time I found a girl who doesn't want to buy new clothes." Neptunus returned to running the car after stopping it when Nuansa started asking him.

"Because I know that you also have the intention of buying more bras for me, that is. That would be very embarrassing, Neptunus."

"I already spent so much of my money on them, so why am I buying more for you?"

"So much?"

"Yes!"

Nuansa could only gulp her saliva when she heard Neptunus' confession.

"Why?" asked Neptunus.

"Emh ... Hahaha. I'm just surprised because you spent your money buying these bras, while it looks like the price of all of these bra has are more than the maximum income that I can get per day," replied Nuansa who was a little embarrassed to reveal this to Neptunus.

The man smiled at Nuansa for said all of that. "Why do you look embarrassed to say that? You said you will never be ashamed of your life. Do you know? You're so cool. No matter how much the income you earn per day, I just judge you by your efforts. You are amazing as a young woman. I can quickly grasp your life, and I doubt I could survive if I was in your position."

Nuansa was silent for a moment hearing Neptunus' praise. "Thank you," she said with a smile.

"You're not as bad as I thought you were," she continued.

"Well, I'm training my acting talent. You understand, right? We have to look like a real couple in front of a crowd, and that's acting, I'm training it now," said Neptunus.

"You mean, what you said about me was just a lie?!"

"Not really."

"Humph! You're probably as bad as I thought," snorted Nuansa.

"Hahahaha. By the way, why did you charge a really cheap rate when you opened the bid? Was that just your trick so you could open the auction?" asked Neptunus.

"Do you think?" The girl asking back.

"Hahaha, you have a good trick."

"And why did you want to enter the auction and put in that very high price?"

"I was just playing around actually."

"What do you mean?"

"I just wanted to drain the money of the people who participated in your auction, I thought when I put in that price, someone would bid even higher, so that their money could be drained because of my play, hahaha."

"Thank goodness that in the end, no one offered the higher price."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean? Eh? Hey! I didn't mean it for something like that!"

"Hahaha, it's okay if you like me, I'll open my heart for you."

"Yuck."

"Hey!"

"I mean, I'll think about it."

"Actually, what I said was just acting."

"I knew it because I'm acting too."

"Hahahaha." The two of them then laughed together.

"Hahaha, ouch. But, what if it was not acting?" said Neptunus, both of them fell in silence for a moment after Neptunus said that.

"Wait, what?" said Nuansa.

"Eh? What?" Neptunus blushed.

"You mean ..."

"No, no, forget it. Hey, look! We're here," said the man.

"Wow, is this your house?" asked Nuansa who was amazed to see Neptunus' house.

"Yes. Welcome to my home."
