Chapter 14 - Give me your number!

Seeing her resolute brother, Bella 'unwillingly' took the dress she loved. The dress was cost 500 $. In Bella's mind, Rey has almost depleted his money from the food and taxis fare, so she wants to look for cheaper dress. That's why she left the dress earlier. She was an understanding little sister.

The two bought the drees. Rey drag her to the cashier. Bella was looking at his calm brother giving his card to pay the dress. Bella was not getting used to his calm looking face. Especially while paying a lot of money. 'What's with him?'

The two left the Zach District. Today, Rey only buy Bella one clothes because it would be troublesome if their parents questioned him. They stop a taxi again and left the Zach District. This time, their direction was their home.

Inside of the taxi. "About the price, don't tell our parents!" Rey commanded.

"Understood." Bella was obedience this time. She would keep this secret from their parents.

"And the green house." Rey added with his calm face.

"Yes." Bella was silent for a moment before continued. "About your job."

"I will tell them personally, at the right time. Of course."

The two chatted for a while before the taxi arrived in front of their home. Bella tell him about Olivia and co who often bullied his sister because Bella was prettier than her. Because Bella was poor. Tell him about her best friend Ria. Tell him about her favorites place in the school. Tell him about rumors she heard in the school. In short, Bella tells him about her school life.

Rey was frowned while listening to his sister and Olivia's matter. He wants to do something for his sister. 'Someone actually bullied my sister?' Rey was ashamed as a brother who could not protects his only little sister. 'Olivia… You would pay for your action.' Rey thought with his calm and resolute face.

Rey asked several questions to keep up the conversation with Bella. Rey also told her about his very ordinary school live. The two became closer after today, especially after Olivia's incident.

When the two walks out from the taxi while Bella carry a bag of clothes in her right hand, their parents were smiled. They were happy because their son and daughter has become closer once more. His father even thinking to give Rey more money so that he could 'drag' his sister again.

After the trip, Bella returned to her room and noticed a notification in her phone. It was from the bank that made Bella stupefied. Someone giving her 50.000$! She could not think anyone that could become the culprit except for her brother. She read the notification once more and noticed that her guest was correct.

'What is his job actually?' She could only though to herself. She feels that his brother has changed by a lot, somehow. Rey's image in Bella's mind was restored and improved.

The next day.

Rey opens his eyes. The morning was just as the same as usual. The only difference was the fact that Rey and Bella talked more than usual while having breakfast. The tease each other a lot and the people around them could see the harmonious atmosphere around the two. Some of them even thought that the two were couple.

As for the money Rey sent to her, Bella was not asking for that. She only has one thought about money. 'How should I spend the money? Should I ask Ria shopping together and eating in the Green House? God, the food in that place was really the best.'

"Rey, what are you doing these days?" Dave asked Rey so suddenly that take Rey off guarded. Rey was clearly annoyed by this kind of questions.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you used to go to my house in weekend but for the past two weeks. You were not come."

"I was sick two weeks ago, in my grandpa's farm last week and yesterday I went to Zach District with my sister."

"Zach District? Damn bro when was you became so rich?"

"Didn't I tell you that I won a lottery?"

"You, you did. How about this weekend. Let's go somewhere fun."

"Sure, do you have an idea in your mind?"

"Swimming pool?"

"Pass."

"Green Park?"

"Pass."

"Then, where should we go?"

"You decided."

"Alright, Black Forest?"

"Pass."

"Semeru Mountain?"

"Pass."

"FUCK YOU!!!!" Dave was agitated by Rey. His voice was loud enough to attract the whole classmates. Even the other class who could hear Dave's voice was little shocked by the voice.

"Take it easy bro, calm down. Look the whole class was looking at you. Are not you ashamed?"

Dave subconsciously looking at his classmate. All of them was looking at his direction. Dave was blushed and glared to Rey, the culprit of this incident. 'This damned friend of mine set me off!' As Dave was glaring at him, Rey was feeling wronged and only laughed lightly.

Suddenly someone entered the room that attracted the whole class gazes. It was because the one whole entered the room was Emilia, The Cold Goddess. Now all gazes were landed on Emilia.

"Rey Harry, come with me." Emilia's statement shocked the whole class once more. The class gazes were directed from Emilia to Rey. Rey hurriedly come to Emilia left the 'crime scene'.

The whole class was dumbfounded. In short span of time, their attention was shifted from Dave to Emilian and the Rey. They were shocked by one question in their mind. 'Rey and Goddess Emilia, THEY KNOW EACH OTHER??'

Anna was in a daze. 'Did he chase for Emilia?' At this moment Anna was feeling something that she could not describe. She doesn't know why, but she feels angry towards Rey.

The news about the goddess of the school barging a room to find a boy shook the whole school. The students were dumbfounded and questioned about what is happen. Was the goddess have a man already. This moment the name Rey Harry was spread throughout the school.

A young lady sitting in her desk was terrified hearing the news. Her friends continuously questioning her about the news.

"Bella, was the news fake or true?"

"Bella, what is their actual relationship?"

"Bella, have you saw the being together?"

Lots of question were given to her which make her feel dizzy. 'What was my brother doing?'

--

On top of a building a young man and a woman facing each other. The young woman has silver hair and a cold gaze while the young man has a nervous face. The two stared each other for a while.

'She brings me here all of a sudden. Now, she was silent without a word. What did she want? How did she know me?' Rey was confused. He was really happy when Emilia suddenly called for her because the fact that he also admires and interested in Emilia. But, for this moment he only feels confused.

"What do you know about spiritual energy?" Emilia said indifferently.

'What the….' 'How dis she know about spiritual energy?' Rey was still in his thought when suddenly a familiar voice was heard. Ring.. ring…

"Miss, I think we should go back to the class." Rey suggest the action with his worried look.

"Forget about class, answer my question!" Rey's face paled. 'This woman is crazy.' He could not think of a good 'reason' yet.

"I. I don't know anything about spiritual energy. What is spiritual energy."

Emilia silently stare at the young man in front of him. She was not believed what Rey have said. Her cold gaze caused Rey terrified.

"Rey Harry I could see that you had absorbed some spiritual energy. So, tell me!" She commanded with her cold eyes.

"I really don't… I mean I don't know much about it."

"Alright, how do you know about spiritual energy?"

"I.. I found an old book in Semeru mountain close to my granpa's farm, but the book was burned by my mother. I carelessly place the book in my backyard and my mother found it. She thought the book was just unused book. So, she burns it up while cleaning the backyard." Rey was relieved after finding his best alibies in his mind. 'A perfect one.'

Emilia still had that cold face. She was silently walking past Rey and left him alone. 'Did she buy that?' Rey was clearly nervous. His face was full of sweat. Several seconds later he decided to go back to the class. He turned his body and his face became paled once more.

Emilia was not leaving. She is just walking past him! At this moment Emilia was sitting on a couch while there is one another lady in front of Rey. A young lady with black hair, Iona.

Staring at the young man in front of her, Iona lightly spoke. "Rey Harry."

"Y-yes?"

"I have a question. Would you like to answer it?"

"It would be my pleasure, Miss Iona."

Satisfied with Rey's answer, Iona directly asked. "Where did you find those ginsengs?"

"G-ginseng?"

"Yes, the one in auction and the one you sold it to my father."

"I found it in Se.. in Semeru mountain." Rey tried to avoid Iona's eyes, but Iona's eyes still focused on him.

"Another discovery huh. It seems the Semeru Mountain has a lot of treasures huh?" Iona clearly mock Rey's 'explanation' which caused him blushed. His face paler and he nervously replied.

"I I really found it there, miss Iona."

"Give me your number!" Iona didn't trust this man, but she also didn't insist. 'You don't want to tell me ha? So be it. I will make you regret it.'

"Wh-what?" Rey was taken aback. He was not sure about what he had heard. 'Did this young miss asking for my number?'

"Your number!" Iona ordered impatiently.

"Yes" He subconsciously answer. He gave his phone number to Iona. Well, he could not reject her order.
