Chapter 10 - Chapter 9: Magnet of Past

I immediately stand up after our lecturer called me "Ms?" I said out of nowhere.

Our lecturer raised her eyebrow at me. If I didn't answer her answer correctly, this will be the first time! "By which constitutional amendment the voting age was reduced to 18 years from 21 years?"

Oh! Thank you, I've read about that "61st Amendment, 1988" I answered.

Our lecturer clapped her hand "I thought this time, you will not be able to answer my question. Good job, Bravery" I curved my lips into a smile at her then bowed my head a bit.

"So Zavien, I decided to tell the head of our school what we see" I whispered, continuing to talk to him. If I didn't decide early, I'm sure that we're in danger. So as soon as possible, I wanted to confess about that.

His eyes sharpened at me "Don't you dare, Bravery" he warned me.

I rolled my eyes at him. Why is he acting like he didn't care about that! When they found out that the two students who went into the museum were us. I'm sure our grades will fail because of that.

After our class, I went to the library to read some books. Zavien went to the cafeteria to order a drink. We are in a different class and we have a different lecturer later so I think we wouldn't meet later. I think he needs some time to think about what I have requested for him. That we should tell our lecturer about it, maybe we should tell the police too. I'm sure they can help us find out why did that museum has many gold bars.

Until now, I was still can't believe what I've seen there. All of the things that I've seen there were unexpected. I've never expected to see any of those. I skimmed the books that were in front of me. I'm finding my detective novel book. I just put that near me but now, I can't find it. I suddenly remember what my mom's always saying me 'Use your eyes not your mouth'.

I went out of the library, it's time to go home. I waited for the bus for a few minutes and when it finally arrives, I immediately went in. The bus stopped in front of the big tree, I'm now at my destination. I went down and walked for a minute until I reach my house.

I knocked on the door "Wait" I know that was my mom. I didn't know that they went home already, I was shocked. She opened the door "We didn't tell you that we went home early because we are too busy to hold our phone" my mom explained. I often fleeting upturning of the corners of my mouth, she knows already that I will ask her.

I curved my lips into a smile. I'm now in our room, I put down my backpack and went to the shower. I take a bath and put on clothes fast. I wear a plain white T-shirt and leggings. I went out of my room to eat. When I looked at the table, I see ramen. I hold my tummy "I'm hungry" I sat down in the middle of my mom and dad.

After we eat, I washed the plates we used. "I heard your friends went here a while ago, Bravery" that was my dad. I didn't remember telling anyone about my visitor ha?

I'm now done washing plates so I went to our living room to rest. "Yes dad, we review for our move exam," I said. I crossed my legs and start asking my parents about their vacation.

"Is it fun?"

They both nodded. Their lips were curving a wide smile while I was asking. My dad took his bag and start finding something. "This is for you," he said while giving me the bunch of refrigerator magnet.

Since I was a child, I really love collecting refrigerator magnet. I think that if our refrigerator has a bunch of magnets in it, it will become eye catching. I took the refrigerator magnet in his hand and begin to take a look at the designs.

"Did you like it?" that was my mom.

"Of course, mom and dad" I gave them a big smile. "Thank you" I went near them to give them a big hug.

Tomorrow is our exam and I think this refrigerator magnet was my motivation. I will bring this tomorrow. I smile again. The reason why I love to collect this is because of my dad. I was heritage this on him. He said that when he was a child, he was being scolded by my grandparents because of the refrigerator magnet. Because when he got home, he always brought a refrigerator magnet.

That was also occurring to me. When I was a child, like what happened to my dad in the past, my mom was also scolding me because of that. One time, I cover our refrigerator with a magnet. I even put the magnet on the side! My dad looks proud of me when he sees that but my mom, she was scolding me. I mean us, my father got scolded too.

"Why are wool-gathering?" My mom asked.

"I just remember something from the past," I said then secretly looked at my dad. "I remember when you were scolding us because of this" he laughs.

"I also remember that Bravery" he laughed more. My mom also laughed.

"But anyway, I heard someone do trespassing in the museum and the one who trespasses is in your school" my eyes widened "I didn't want heard that you're one of it, Bravery"

My heart was pounding so fast. My mom's voice sounds like she warned me. I think I didn't want to confess about that anymore. But I know, no secrets will not be known. Every secret that we are hiding now will be discovered at the right time. But sadly, we didn't know if we can face that already.
