Even though Alex is currently at her house, Nada is still worried about her surroundings.
"Hey, weird girl! Can I turn on some music? Your house is so empty, it's natural for you to feel scared."
Hearing that, Nada who had wanted to enter the small room where the cleaning equipment was stored immediately nodded her head while turning to the source of the sound. "Of course, do what you want while you're here until my housecleaning is done." She answered calmly, though in her heart she doubted the man's request.
There was no rejection at all for Alex because later Nada was afraid that if a boy was given a ban, then Alex would think of herself as a boring girl and decided to leave.
"Yes, how long do I have to wait here?" asked Alex, raising his eyebrows, still looking at Nada with piercing eyes. Looking around, this one girl looks cute.
Nada shrugged, unsure of the answer to Alex's question. "I don't know. But I promise I'll finish it in an hour, do you mind?" She asked.
Alex snorted. Hey, this man who is a student doesn't have a definite busy life. All the homework was done, and what else was he supposed to do? "Sure, the longer it takes, the more you help me get rid of my boredom," he answered with a crooked smile.
Alex began to position himself as comfortably sitting position as possible, good enough to meet new neighbors and set foot in Nada's house for the first time. He stared at his phone screen, searching for a list of songs he might want to play to fill the gaps.
"Whatever, unemployment."
After that, Nada entered the small room. Not a small room that is small, but like a small warehouse that is used to hold various kinds of cleaning tools. From new equipment to old equipment, it's all here.
The question is, where is the mop that Bela gave her a few minutes ago? The answer, she put it in the corner of the living room. Nada came in here to pick up a bucket as well as floor freshener which smelled different, she wanted to choose.
"HEY, WEIRD GIRL!"
Chuckling, come on, Alex was always reluctant to call her by name. Have to always call with a compliment that sounds very annoying. "MY NAME IS NADA, STUPID!" She cried, annoyed.
"OK NADA, CAN I EAT A SNACK? YOU FORGET TO GIVE ME A DRINK."
"Bother," murmured Nada.
She took a few things as needed, then left the room. Luckily, nothing in there had a mirror. So, it's safe to enter there without being wary.
Nada had already taken some floor fragrances instead, she wanted the floor of her house to have a variety of scents, then took back the mop that was in the corner of the living room. "Let's go to the kitchen." She said to Alex who was now immodestly sticking out his legs, being lifted onto the table as if he had no decency. "And put your feet down, it's rude." She continued.
Alex snorted, then got up from his seat. Don't forget to bring his cellphone and a jar of snacks and he follows where Nada goes.
"Why don't you let me eat in the living room, huh?"
"So that if there is my mother, you can immediately hide."
"Scared of Stepmother? It's true, right? Stepmother like in most novels, Stepmother is scary and always controlling at will without feeling."
"Whatever, I don't care what you say."
After that, Nada put all the equipment on the floor, except for the floor deodorizer which was placed on the kitchen table. She saw Alex who had landed her butt on the dining chair, and Nada decided to get some cold mineral water.
"Here's your drink, enjoy and don't complain." She said as she placed a glass of mineral water in front of Alex.
As for Alex? He rolled his eyes. "Just cold mineral water? Seriously."
Nada didn't care, after that, she turned around. "Damn, I forgot my phone."
Of course, all the news and orders that Bela sent for her were always sent via messages on her cellphone —only when Bela was out of the house— and course, she was always saying this and that.
"Will you accompany me to my room?" Nada asked as she turned her body to look at Alex.
Hearing that, Alex who was chewing cassava chips turned to the source of the sound with his mouth chewing and then swallowed it as if it had been smooth. "No, why do you want to take me to your room? Don't make me think negatively," he replied, shaking his head.
Tone raised an eyebrow. Hey, she's only going to ask Alex to accompany her and not for anything else the boy thinks. "Come on, I'm scared."
"No way, all day yesterday I watched your house. And your mother yesterday also left the house, then yesterday you looked fine here alone."
"That was yesterday,"
"What is the difference?"
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe it."
Nada knew, if she was with someone, surely that figure would not dare to appear in front of her because Alex was not their target. So, it was perfectly safe to take the man with her.
Alex nodded his head. "Of course, who would want to trust a girl like you, right?" he replied with a chuckle. Taking the nature of not caring, then averting his eyes from Nada with a mouth that is now singing to the music.
Nada sighed, after all, why was she being such a stubborn figure? Alex just wants to be with her, it's a fortune to be grateful for, so there shouldn't be much desire.
"Okay." the answer is short. Then she started walking away leaving Alex who subconsciously continued to stare at her with a strange look.
Nada didn't want to go back to her bedroom because that was where the source of all spooky things was, the source of all the misery she was feeling. "Let's start again," she muttered, exhaling heavily.
Her feet walked slowly, up the stairs that took her to the second floor of the house. Just got here, but she already had a bad feeling.
Arriving at the door of the room, Nada felt the air around her starting to feel thin. She didn't understand if this was just a feeling, or if it was true.
With courage, she decided to open the door and saw that her room had been cleaned very neatly and cleanly.
~ Me with myself
A lot of blood is coming out of my body
It hurts, but I can't do anything
Shout out loud, ask for help
I need a friend,
And I'm waiting for my chosen turn to replace me~
The voice of a woman's singing immediately entered Nada's ears, making the hairs on her spine goosebumps.
At the same time, her eyes caught sight of a woman she could still interact with. Nada thought that she had disappeared, but was still there even though her condition was very different from before.
Welcome, every second in Nada's life right now feels like she's in hell.
