"Hmmm? Who called me? In this hour?"
"Hello? Rega? You alright?
"Who's this?"
"I'm Renanda. I tried to call you 6 times already but you're not answering. I've been there but the door is locked. Why you locked the door? What going on there?"
"Ha? Hmm? …Oh god, sorry Sist. I'll open it."
"Oh, don't worry. I'm in canteen to grab some meals right now. I'll go there after this."
"Ok Sist."
"Rega…"
"What's up Sist?"
"Holy Friday?"
"Ha..."
What's with Holy Friday? Oh, I got it. She must be worrying, so she checks whether I know it or not. But why check me who didn't received the grace? Ah, she means to ask Jhenn…
"Don't worry, I'm ok sist, and Jhenn…"
I think she just leave me and lock the door to prevent me from escaping. But who would think she was also…
"What's up with Jhennifer?"
"Ah, nothing. She just sleeping."
"Sleeping? Do you guys not answered my call due to sleeping?"
"Ye-"
"You bad boy!! Sist disappointed you know. What you've done to a middle-school girl? And this is a ho---"
"Sorry sist, let's talk here rather than just by call."
*Bipppp bipppp
A middle-schooler? This girl was? She really is tall. I think it's around 2cm more than me. Her 167cm heigh was made me think she a high-schooler. It's bad if she was younger than me. Just where should I put my face that has been trampled by a younger girl?
But, just look at her. Her majesty is sleeps so soundlessly. The packaging is really excellent that it looks so stunningly pretty when it's not leaking it's inner-content.
So, this is why she talked like she knows everything about me. Her way of talk is not like any middle-schooler. We're just somehow similar. Now I know what people feel when talked to me. Fear.
People doesn't really fear something they didn't know but would be fright by something they didn't understand. So, you should be picky about to whom you reveal yourself. That's why she could talks casually to me showing off her arrogance and all. That's also why, being a funny brat is enough for me.
"But…You act so arrogance that you sleep carelessly in front of me huh?"
"…"
Whoa, she awoken already? Hope she didn't hear that
"…Mama…sorry…"
"…"
I feel bad if I know something she doesn't want to expose.
"Jhenn, Wake up!"
"…Sor-"
Damn, sorry Jhenn…
"Mmmh! Ha? Huh? YOU?!!" *slapp
Her reflexed is awesome. She wakes and immediately put her guard up while standing on the bed after slapping me.
"What you plan to do by pinching my nose. Want to make me unconscious? Gross. You really are a true form of gross. Just when I give you a bit of my trust."
"Sorry but, I couldn't steal yours Jhenn. And more, I don't intend to do anything. You just sleep talking so I awake you."
"Sleep talk? What did I'v-"
"Gladly nothing. Just an apology."
"Ah, so that's it…"
She calmed down.
"Sorry, and… Thanks."
She embraces herself and put a disappointed expression on her face.
"Should I rather act nasty instead of telling the fact."
I put up my hands and do some movement groping-like
"Nah, that's maybe better, since I just can cut off that hands and doesn't need to feel guilty."
She somehow smiled slightly even if her eyes were still fixated on something that I couldn't see.
"Yup, it's also better to see this side of you."
"Yuck, Gross hahah-"
*Klak
"WHAT! REGAA! Stop doing nasty things!"
Noooo. What a bad time to enter sist. Jhenn was still embraces herself while my hand just won't stop its disgusting movement.
"No Sist!! This is obviously just a misunderstanding. Right Jhenn?"
She rushed to Sist Rena and warp her left arms while also hiding beside her.
"Help me Sist!"
"Rega, explain this to me! NOW!"
"What? What should I explain? It just a misunderstanding. Doesn't that damn girl arrogance was enough to explain it? She could easily kill me anytime, why would she afraid of me? I just tried to wake her up while she sleeps talking, and some circumstances."
"But isn't that common, the culprit would be acted as the savior to hide their crimes?"
"Rega?!!"
"Ohhhh damn!! Just shut up flash-bang!! How dare you use my own word toward me!"
How to solve this? How to solve this? Ah…
"Sorry…Ma-"
Waaa, once again, her reflexes are really awesome. In an instant she closed the gap between us just to put her sword inside my mouth.
I think I should correct it. That's not a sword. No, the form was a sword, like a claymore, but the way she used it was like playing with rapier. So basically, it's a double merit. It's like she used a heavier, longer, and wider sword that supposedly used two-handed by using it single-handed. Faster, and swifter.
A clever use of her grace. Her grace could neglect the obstacles about mass, since there's some theory that states light don't have mass. So, this is why she's so confident about her only C-rank. Thanks to it I found a slight of hope that the human feature was still more dominant compared the grace features.
I tried to grab her sword and pull it out from my mouth, but it won't touch. The sword was like a flashlight. When I tried to grab it, the light that came from her left right hand just reflected on my palm.
"Hey hey, that's enough. Don't rally need to kill someone doesn't it?"
Now her sword vanished. She gave up huh?
"I'm not going to apology."
She just keeps silence and went to close the door.
"Sorry miss, I just played some game with him."
"A game? A nasty one?"
"NO!"
We shouted simultaneously.
"Now I feel hesitant to introduce you to my little sister. I disappointed."
"I'm not asking that. But your disappointed for a false acquisition was a bit hurt me. I'm really not doing any bad, sist."
"You swear?"
"Yes, I swear."
"That's clear then. Now let's eat, I bring you some meals. You yet eaten this noon right?"
"Thank you sist. How much is this?"
Jhenn! Damn, why can't you just accept it for free? With you saying that, now I feel I also should ask the same thing as you.
"Errr, yes, ho-"
"It's free guys, just take it. With you guys here, I feel like having 2 more little siblings. And Jhennifer, no complain! Being rich doesn't mean you must refuse others offer, understand."
"Yes, sist Ren."
"Hahaha just now, you called me sist. Mmmmm sist happy, sist happy."
She pinching both of Jhenn checks. And Jhenn was looking at me with a confused face. It's as if she saying "How to get out of this?".
"Thanks guys, this really treat my longing for my sister."
"Is she's not here, sist Ren?"
"No. We lived in different city. They lived at Malang."
"But isn't it only 2 hours from here sist?"
"I just can't leave my duty."
She smiled as she said that, while her eyes were telling us her sadness. That's just like her. She just a coward, but her matured act make her really matured.
"Then I could he-"
I shut her heedless mouth up at a right time. What would you say Jhenn? "I could help you get a paid leave" with your power? Could you just appreciate her dedication?
"It's ok Jhenn. Your sist is tough you know."
"Hahaha exactly Sist. Because you're a pa-"
Now Jhenn was the one who shut my mannerless mouth. Thank you, Jhenn.
"Pfttt hahahaha, you guys really get along, aren't you? Now, I really like to introduce you guys to her."
"You keep mentioned her? You really loved her huh. Does she the same age as us?"
"Yup, this next year Sabyll would also be a high-schooler just like you guys."
"Sabyll?"
"It's her name. Salsabylla. Her full name is long though. She despises our father for that. Look here, it's her photo."
She showed her sister photo that displayed on her phone.
"Wow, she's pretty just like you sis Ren."
"Are we? Aww you…Hehehe"
"Your mouth could also say a good word huh?"
"What? A problem for you?"
But, what Jhenn said was right. She's pretty, and looks more graceful than this arrogant girl.
"But…sacrifices itself to replaces others…?"
"Eh?"
"Does she's a typical soft girl that often being used by her so-called friends?"
"…"
Jhenn? Why? Just when you're appreciate her look…
"Yea…she has her own circumstances. You guys were really sharp for your age, aren't you? Just like how Rega see trough me. That's why I want to introduce her to you."
"…"
I can't say anything. Same goes to Jhenn. Her face tells me that there's so many she wants to utter but she just can't. As we both know, this big sis here was somehow like her sister, too considerate.
Now you can't handle it aren't you Jhenn? Look, you make her speechless just when she's sho happy to brag about her sister
"Ahmm, ok finish the sad story. Btw, why did she hate her names? I think she has a pretty name."
"Hmmm, Salsabylla mean a fountain in Paradise, that's what I know from father. She like's that part, but the rest…"
So, their father was mean that she is a grace is a graceful place? Or just mean about a pretty ornament?
"The rest?"
"Her full name is Alvonka Salsabylla Agnis Zephyra Ghia."
"Huh?" "Eh?"
Why that long? And wasn't that's just an unnecessary word?
"Alvonka? Does your family is from Russia sist Ren? It sounds like one, I'm not very sure though."
"Nope, a pure Indonesian. Our father was just love to play a game back then… so I think he just put any cool word he knows as her name. And he said Alvonka is his beloved character name."
So that's it, so that's it, damn.
"Pfttt hahaha, I feel sorry for your sister, sist Ren."
"Hmmm, just don't make fun of her name when you meet her ok?"
"I wouldn't, but just… hahaha."
"Hey stop it Jhenn!"
"Ahaha…sorry sist Ren."
"Mmmmm…is it, something like Arc Mage, like a character that could do elemental magic?"
"Wha wha? How did you know? If I recall he said it also, hmm.. Arecu Meg?"
"Nope sist, a-r-c m-a-g-e. Arc Mage."
"Here it is, someone who would further be like that kind of father."
"Hey, don't be so rude Jhenn. I think that's not nonsense word."
Hmmm, so that's it. That's fountain in paradise don't refer neither to the fountain nor the paradise itself. But it's meant as water. And for the rest I think I also have a grasp of it meaning.
"What you're trying to say Rega?"
"It's just, I think your father really loves his game character."
"Pardon?"
"Alvonka is his char name, which is elemental mage. And I think, Salsabylla refers to water, Agnis refers Agnis which refers to fire in Sanskrit, Zephyra refers Zephyr which refers to wind, and Ghia refers Gaia in Greek which refer to earth."
"Wow…you know much don't you Rega. So, that's why back then when I call her by phone, she tells her grace could control water."
"…what a coincidence…"
Jhenn look so unbelieved by the talk we have, and just give me a confused gaze. I don't know, but I just feel she said "The fu**?!!" is her mind.
"But to think it again…hahahaha so that's what father really mean."
"No sist, don't take it serious, I just assumed it."
"But even your only assumption back then could resolve my problem."
She gives her sincere smile to me.
"Ah that…"
"You should be confident in your word Rega. You guys are really something huh. Ahhh~ I want to end this incident ASAP so I could go back home."
"Now you talk about it, we need to tell you something first sist Ren."
"Okok I've a plenty of time. But first how about we eat this before it getting cold."
"Yea time to eat." "Ok sist Ren."
We eat this free meal gratefully. While we observe the sun that slowly being devoured by the east horizons.
