Kanaya feels very uncomfortable when around her there is a figure that she thinks is the most annoying, even though it has been clear from the start that she looks at Bryan with a look of disapproval but her father still invites the man to eat with his family.
Even though his father had said that this was a family event, to pass the time because he was too busy with office matters. But the proof is now that his father is taking part in inviting the most annoying man he has ever met.
"Where do you guys know each other?" Roy looked at Kanaya and Bryan alternately.
"Naya and she don't know each other, Pa," Kanaya evaded quickly. It's too lazy to get to know each other with that annoying man, it's not him at all if you get to know a man like Bryan.
"Well, then why were you two talking?" said Eva.
Hearing that Kanaya immediately turned to her mother with bulging eyes. "Where did the conversation come from, Ma? That person is cold like that, after all, Naya gave him a little info that Naya is not someone he can just look down on!"
The girl's gaze was directed at Bryan, his gaze was sharp while the boy just stared at him blankly making Kanaya immediately snorted and looked the other way.
"It's not like that, sir, ma'am. Everything is not true," denied Bryan, who had only shown a flat expression.
Kanaya's eyes widened. "What do you mean? What do you mean by saying that?! Obviously, this afternoon you looked down on me!" the girl squealed.
"Humble you? I don't feel like I've ever looked down on you," Bryan's brow furrowed, his index finger tucked into his temples as if he was remembering the events of this afternoon.
Hearing that, Kanaya immediately pounded the table while getting up from her seat, her gaze was really sharp towards the man. Looks like Kanaya made a big mistake in praising the man, she shouldn't be praising the most annoying man.
"You don't have to look for it because you are with me!"
"KANAYA! SIT!"
Immediately, Kanaya's guts shrunk when she heard a scream from her father, the girl with her hair pulled back immediately lowered her head and sat back in her chair while twisting her fingers.
"Dad knows Bryan very well, he can't possibly look down on other people, Naya!" Roy defended, it made Kanaya feel like she wanted to reply to her father's words but Kanaya still wanted her pocket money to go smoothly so the girl chose to remain silent by keeping her head down as if she was submissive to her papa.
Roy's gaze which was originally aimed at Kanaya sharply, now he looked at Bryan with a look full of regret. "I'm sorry my daughter, Bryan. He's always been that way with people he just met—um, I mean, he'd be cool with strangers."
"It's okay, sir. I quite understand your daughter's unstable attitude, because I am also not too far from her age," Bryan glanced at Kanaya, secretly smiling sarcastically when he saw the girl looked submissive. Now he knew what the girl's weakness was.
"Thank you, Bryan, you understand how my daughter is."
Kanaya secretly snorted, I don't know what he meant by being nice in front of her parents, let alone to the point of not admitting what she did this afternoon which always made Kanaya angry.
"How come at such a young age you already have your own company, on average, kids your age are still in college, still playing games, and all that stuff," said Eva, who had been staring in awe at the achievements that had been achieved. young man sitting next to his husband.
"Actually, I was only in middle school and high school for only two years, Mom."
"Aishh... you don't need to call me that," said Eva, who felt uncomfortable hearing Bryan call her like that. "Just call me Auntie," he continued, the man nodded immediately.
Kanaya rolled her eyes when her mother told her to call Bryan 'aunt', it felt strange, because Bryan only knew his father on the basis of work, so it would be strange if Bryan called his mother like that. But, come on, Kanaya doesn't want to interfere with that man anymore, which will definitely irritate him.
"Wait, wait! You were only two years in middle and high school?!" Eva shrieked as she covered her gaping mouth. "You are very smart, Bryan! You deserve to be Naya's husband," the woman glanced at her daughter who was already bulging her eyes.
"Mom!" says Kanaya doesn't like it.
It seems that seeing their conversation that has spread everywhere makes Kanaya have to quickly leave here, no matter the food she ordered has not arrived, she can eat at another restaurant.
"Where are you going, Kanaya?" Eva asked as soon as she saw Kanaya get up from her seat.
"Toilet."
Without saying anything else Kanaya walked straight to the door of the restaurant, luckily the restaurant was quite busy so she didn't have to bother trying to get out of the restaurant without her parents knowing.
"Finally I can get rid of that annoying boy!"
Kanaya opened her sling bag and took out her cellphone, about to order an online motorcycle taxi. However, before that happened, a motorcycle suddenly stopped in front of him, causing Kanaya to look up immediately.
He seemed to be familiar with this motorbike, when he saw the person who was riding the motorbike and it was true that this motorbike belonged to his friend.
"No, what are you doing here?"
"Any business. What are you doing here, Gar?"
Edgar took off his helmet and put it on the motorcycle tank before finally brushing his hair. "I just happened to pass by, anyway. And I looked like you, it turned out to be you."
Kanaya smiled awkwardly. "Why is that? I look weird, don't I?"
The man shook his head. "No, I'm actually a little surprised, really. Because you rarely wear clothes like this."
"Well, now can you not take me home?"
"With pleasure."
So this man named Edgar is Kanaya's college friend, from the same faculty but in different majors. Actually Kanaya is not very close to Edgar, only because he really needs a ride and waiting for an online motorcycle taxi will take a very long time.
Kanaya smiled sweetly. "Thank you, you know," he said as he climbed into the man's motorbike even though it was actually difficult because he was wearing a dress.
Kanaya doesn't usually do that, because she often wears pants. Even when she goes to campus, Kanaya never wears skirts. Kanaya always wears pants because she thinks it's very simple.
"If I may ask, what event did you actually have at the restaurant, Nay?" asked Edgar as the motor sped up.
"Actually, it was a meal with my Papa, my Mama, just because of the arrival of the most obnoxious boy, I chose to go home without my parents knowing."
"Wait! What do you mean? Why did you choose to go home? Who is that guy anyway?"
Kanaya looked at the helmet used by Edgar, the man kept asking him making Kanaya lazy to answer, let alone having to answer everything. Was it true what his friends said that Edgar liked him?
