After they took some fresh air upstairs, they went to the veranda. Sam is watering those plants outside while Larry keeps staring lovely at him.
"I can still see you behind my back, stop staring at me. I'll be going to melt if you keep continuing that."sam said to him.
"Sorry, but. Let me watch you until the sun goes down."Larry replied.
"But the sun hasn't gone down yet. Stop now you make me shy. Just take the books in my bag and start studying it again."Sam said as he kept watering those plants.
"I want to do it with you. I'll wait you until you finish there."
"Its up to you. I'll be going to finish it at dawn, you still kept waiting? "Sam teasing him.
"Of course yes. I will be going to wait you no matter what it is."Larry replied.
Sam smile secretly while still watering, suddenly the blood from his nose drops on his hand and he was startled, "Oh, it's blood again."He said to himself and he immediately wiped it just so Larry wouldn't see it as he accidentally dropped the watering can, Larry heard it.
"Whats up, there's something wrong there? You want some help?"
"No, no... there's nothing, it's ok.. I can handle it."He replied quickly.
"Ok, it's up to you."Larry said and he walk inside.
He wipes his nose so he won't get caught. "Oh, I feel dizzy now." saying to himself.
After he finished watering it, He went inside to get some rest on the sofa, "Jeez, better."He said as he laid on the bed, "Larry? What do you think? Should we go to your mom's house?" Sam asked him.
"Maybe soon."He replied while washing those dishes.
"Why?"
"Just.. there's time for that."
"Ok, how about let's go to my mom's house tomorrow?" Sam asked him again.
"Really? We will go there?"Larry asked as he got excited.
"Yeah, but why did you suddenly feel excited?" Sam asks him.
"Nothing, I haven't been there since I moved here, I miss your hometown too."
"Ok, then. Wake up early tomorrow. We will go there. I miss my mom too, how I wish I could go to my town."Sam said.
Larry walked closer to him as he finished doing dishes, "You're going to tell your mom about us?"He asks.
"Uhm, i think... not for today, i'm not ready yet." Sam replied awkwardly.
Larry smile at him as he pat sam's head, "It's ok. We can tell them about us soon, if you're ready."
"Thank you for understanding me."sam replied and he smile, He raised both arms to hug larry, "Hug me, big bear." and he laugh.
Larry got confused, he took a look at Sam's arm,"Oh? What's wrong with your arm? Where did you get this bruise? "He asked.
Sam took a look at his arm and he saw a bruise on it, "oh, nothing. Maybe I just bumped into something that I didn't remember."He replied.
"Does it hurt?"Larry asked as he got worried.
He poke his bruise but it doesn't hurt. "No hurt,"He replied.
"Why? All bruises hurt."
"Oh, maybe mine didn't. I'm lucky."Sam replied and he laughed, "Don't worry, this is nothing."He added.
"Ok, then. What do you want to do?"Larry asked him.
"Um, let's clean,"Sam replied.
"Huh? Clean? I already clean this house."Larry replied.
"Let's clean upstairs at your aunt's room. The storage room. Let's go there again."he replied as he stood up and he run up there.
"Hey! Wait! Be careful of stairs!"Larry shouted as he ran following sam.
Sam open the door and he walk quietly. "I've just notice, your auntie megan's storage room is very huge. Quite scared me."He said.
"Oh, yeah. That's why I didn't go here alone."Larry replied.
"Shh, did you hear something?"Sam asked him.
Larry got confused as well he got scared, "Don't you dare to scare me again.
"I'm not scaring you, you heard it?"Sam whispered.
"The what?" he asked as whispered at sam.
"There's something strange."
Larry got scared and he looked around. He hold Sam's hand tightly as Sam smiles secretly.
"Let's go outside now. Let's not clean this room I'm scared. There's no light here."Larry whispered at him.
"Shh, don't say anything."Sam said as he walked slowly towards the spot that the sound was coming from it.
"Hey, don't walk there."Larry said as he got scared and held Sam's hand.
"I know but..
Suddenly one house mouse came out and they all startled, "Mouse! Mouse!"Sam yelled and they panicked.
Larry grabbed the heavy book and he threw it to the mouse, "where is it?!"
Sam laughs at him as he can't control it anymore, "Seriously?" He laugh again.
Larry got pissed off at him and he let go sam's hand, "I thought it was a ghost."He replied.
"Just kidding, nothing here. I'm just joking around."Sam said and he started cleaning, "Help me move this. Let's see what we can get here."He added.
They moved the huge cabinet and they saw the one box behind it. "What is this?" Sam asks Himself as Larry starts cleaning on another spot. He took it from the floor as he wiped those dust, He opened the box and he saw so many things.
"Woah, what is this?"He asked himself again as he took it out, "A bracelet, this is the bracelet that my father wore before. It's the same for his friend." He took it out again one by one, "A letter? A handmade ring from fabric? What is all of this? An old scarf? Rubik's cubes? Woah, so much old stuff."He said to himself as he got confused.
Larry went closer at him and he took a look at those. "What's that?" he asked.
"I don't know. I've just seen it all from this old box."Sam replied.
"Oh? This bracelet. Same to your father."He said.
"Yeah, it is. I'll keep it."Sam replied.
"Why? He asks.
"Just, I just want to.. Let's clean now. Let's hurry up and finish this." He added.
"I told you earlier, let's leave and not clean this part we will get tired."Larry replied as he got pissed off.
"Don't be mad, let's do it. We just started it so let's finish it."Sam said and he handed the broom to him.
The time runs so fast while they are both cleaning all the corners, sweat on their faces that crawling into their necks but all have seen that Larry is so happy when Sam is around with him.
"Are you finished cleaning that spot?"Sam asked larry.
"Oh, not yet. I'm still wiping it, ``he replied.
"Ok.. just continue doing it."Sam said and he continued what he was doing. "I'm thirsty."
"Are you thirsty?"
Larry stops what he is doing when suddenly sam says that to him.
"Oh, yeah. Can you bring me water here?"
"Oh, yeah. I can."he replied and he put down the wet towel and broom to stop what he did just take some water downstairs.
"Thank you."sam said and he smiled.
While Larry went outside, he looked at it quickly and he immediately took the bracelet on the box, he put it in his pocket just to hide it, He goes cleaning while waiting for larry.
"Here. I'm sorry, I've taken a long. I went to the bathroom before I took some water."Larry said.
"Oh, I... it's ok. Thank you."He replied awkwardly as he accepted it, as he took a sip on it while Larry went back from cleaning.
"Just hurry cleaning it, it's already 4:00pm."Larry said to him.
"Oh, right." He replied.
He continued cleaning as he felt awkward but he hid those feelings. "I want to know everything."He said to himself.
After they clean, Sam is sitting alone on the sofa at the veranda. Holding the bracelet in his hand, staring at it while he got strange feelings.
"I can't really figure it out." Sam said.
He kept observing the bracelet until Larry suddenly came out, "What's wrong?"He asks.
Sam got startled, he quickly hid back in his pocket the bracelet.
"Oh, it's n.. nothing. Why?"Sam replied awkwardly.
He walked towards Sam, he sat down on the sofa and he laid down on Sam's lap.
"I'm tired, let me take a nap." and he closed his eyes.
Sam patted his head as he smiled, "Just sleep there. I won't disturb you."He replied and kept staring at Larry's face.
He covers his hand on larry's face from a distance, just won't he get dazzled by the sunlight. He kisses Larry's lips all of sudden and seeing Larry's smile after he kissed him, "Sleep peacefully."He added.
Two hours later, Sam was sitting on the couch after Larry woke up from his lap earlier and his lap was getting sore, "Jeez, I'm tired now."He said as he laid on it.
Larry came closer to him as he would hug him but Sam avoided him.
"It's hot, don't you ever do that,"Sam said and Larry pouted his lips as he blinked his eyes at him.
"Why?"He asked.
"My head is hurting, don't speak so much in front of me."Sam replied as he closed his eyes.
"Why? What's wrong? Does its hurt so much?" He asked sam.
"Oh, yeah. so much, don't say anything, my head is spinning."He replied.
"Just stay still there. I'll get some medicine there."Larry said and he rushed to the kitchen to take those pills.
"Argh! Why is it hurting?"he asked himself.
"Here, drink this." Larry gave it to him as he handed the glass of water. "Drink it, so that your headache will go away,"He added.
He drank the medicine and he laid down again on the couch, "Thank you, I'll take some naps. Don't wake me up."He said.
Larry looked at the wall clock as he got worried about Sam, "Get some more rest. I'll be there."He replied while patting Sam's head.
Philip is thinking deeply, sitting on his bed alone.
There's something bugging his head and there's a lot of questions that he can't answer. He didn't know what it was but he kept feeling that when he was around, He touched his chest, he felt his own heart beat running faster.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you keep doing this to me? Can you give the answer to my question? I like mara, that's all there's nothing else." He said to him and he screamed behind his pillow to relieve his confusion on his head.
"What's wrong with me!"He shouts.
He ran outside heading to Sam's room. "Hey! Samuel, did you hear me? Are you there? There's so much I ask of you." He yelled as kept knocking. He tried to open the door but it's lock.
"Oh, it's locked? Is he not here?"He asked.
The class president walked past behind his back and he ask, "pres. Have you seen Samuel?"
"No, I haven't seen him since yesterday. Why?" He asked as replied to Philip, "Oh, let me check my book list."He said while turning all the pages, "Right, He didn't sign this yesterday,"He added.
"Really? He doesn't? Ok, then. Thank you, you can go now."Philip replied awkwardly as he smiled fakely.
The class president walked away from him and Philip got embarrassed, "Where has he been this time?" asking himself as he walked back to his room, "He's gone when the weekend arrives. He said he is going to study but he's not here at all."He added as he looked down.
Philip is going insane in his room. He can't concentrate on his studies because there's something bugging his mind and want the truth. "I don't think I can handle it. This makes me insane."He said.
He stood up and immediately opened his wardrobe, he picked some clothes for tomorrow.
"Does it fit this style to me? Mara will like it?"He asked himself, He looked in the mirror and he tried all his clothes.
"Argh! I can't choose!"He yelled.
He practises his confession in the mirror but he looks cheesy, he smiles genuinely but it looks so fake, "Yuck, that's so lame, Let's try it again."He added.
He tried it multiple times in his confession until he got pissed off. "Oh, I'm nervous for tomorrow."He said to himself while shaking his hand and staring at the mirror.
"Shit. How can I say that here? Should it be classy or normal? I don't know anymore."
Philip said to himself as he slapped his own cheeks to wake up, "I want to ask Sam but he's not here! What should I do now?"
He goes back to his bed and he sits down, thinking about what will happen tomorrow.
Kairo is sitting on the couch while his mom scolds him so loud.
"Where have you been!?" His mom asks, raising her voice.
"I went to the dormitory, just to check every student."He replied as he looked down.
"Then, why did you take so long? You suppose to be studying here right now, right? You took fifthteen minutes checking those students before at the dormitory but why did you come back at this time? Kairo you have a driver, Fast get home."
"Because something happened in the dormitory." He replied out of nowhere.
"Hon, that's enough. Maybe he just fixed something happening at the dormitory."His dad said to his mom.
"Why are you like this mom?" Kairo asked suddenly.
"What did you say? When did I teach you to say that to me? From now on. Whenever you go I'll hire some guard and you can't leave this house easily!"His mom replied and got totally mad.
Kairo got startled after he heard it, "You are suffocating me! All of my life, since I was a little kid, you already controlled my move. Mom, this is my life! I can do whatever I want. Yes, I understood before that you kept controlling me because i'm just a kid but mom I'm a young man now. You always scold me whenever I come back late, yes I understand because you are protecting me and don't want to lose me. I can't really go out from my leash. Even though my great grandfather and my grandmother controlled me, I'm thankful that my great grandmother is not like you. I can't choose on my own because you all first chose for me and I'm just agreeing to it even if I don't want to." He yelled.
He suddenly got slapped by his mother and his dad got startled, "How dare you raise your voice at me like that?"
"Hon, that's enough. Let's go anywhere."His father said as he held his mom's both arms, "Son, go to your room now. Don't make it hot, I'm scared."His dad said to him.
Kairo runs quickly upstairs into his room and he cries silently behind the door, "They are too mean to me."He said to himself as he covered his mouth not to be heard while kept pouring his tears.
A half hour later, Kairo is still crying out while having fluffy eyes on his face, just laying down on his bed, can't speak and move just what happened earlier, Someone knocked on the door and he got startled.
"Who is it?"He asked.
"young master, it's time for dinner."the maid said to him outside of the room.
He looked at the wall clock and it's already 7:00pm, He sighed deeply as he wiped his tears.
"Tell my dad, I'll be coming for five minutes,"He replied.
"Ok, I understand." the maid said and she walked away from the door.
He stood up as he cleared his throats, "get yourself. You need to do this for your future."He said to himself.
When they were eating in the dining area, Kairo felt awkward as he was feeding himself.
"I'm sorry for what I've done to you my son, I'm sure you will forgive me, right?"His mom asks nicely to him.
Kairo smiles awkwardly as he can't look directly at his mom, "Y.. yeah, mom."He replied.
"You know that you're the one who can raise our family status, Right? So don't be stubborn. Just listen to me and follow me, that for your good sake either. I love you, that's why I did that to you. I need to protect you for any cost. Forget everything from earlier."She said while having a sweet smile on her face.
"Yes mom."He replied as he looked down.
"Ok, then.. eat more, help yourself and study after you eat here."His mom replied.
Unexpectedly, her assistant approached them. "I'm sorry ma'am for disturbing you in the middle of your dinner but I've just received an email and we have an appointment today's night." She said to Kairo's mom.
"There's has?"She asks.
The assistant nodded as she looked down.
"Then, prepare the car. We will be heading there."She added as she stood up.
"Kairo, tomorrow is Sunday. Do your homework, study well here and don't ever go outside. Do you understand me? I'm not coming here tomorrow." she said, "Hon, please look after him."She said to her husband.
She runs quickly after she leaves her family in the middle of dinner, Kairo sighed deeply as he continued feeding himself.
"Son, I'll be going somewhere. Please don't be stubborn, I have some important appointment tomorrow I can look after you, so that I'll be giving you some guard to look after you."He said to Kairo.
"Where are you going dad?"He asks, confused.
"Anywhere, you don't need to know about that. Please don't tell this to your mom. Do what you want here and study well." He replied to his son.
He continues eating while thinking of something that he can't change in his own life, "I'm craving for their attention, they just want their own wants. This life of mine sucks, I'm just always alone. Studying to overcome my future." He said to himself.
He ate his food until he was done, He ran to his room and he jumped on his bed.
"Jeez, life sucks so much. I have complete things in my life, I'm wealthy, but I'm not happy. There's something that can make me happy and I don't know what that is yet," he is trying to figure it out but somebody wants him not to, He just closes his eyes as his tears fall silently.
Sam is still sleeping on the couch while Larry is cleaning the bed to transfer him onto it, He went closer to Sam and he carried him.
"Jeez, such a big baby he is."He said while walking heading to his room. He put Sam slowly on the bed and he went outside to take a shower. While he's showering, he suddenly thinks of something. He can't figure out what's happening to Sam's condition right now.
"What are you thinking? He's ok. That is just stress, you don't need to worry about it. You really heard Clearly at him that it's just stress, right? So don't think so much. Just look after him and protect him."He said to himself.
Sam got woken up and he got up slowly to sit down, "Oh, i'm spinning. What's wrong with me? Oh, my head is spinning right now."He said while holding his head as he felt the pain.
Larry went inside the room while wiping his hair and he saw Sam already got woken up and sitting on the bed. "Oh, you're awake now?" He asks.
"Obviously, I woke up." He replied sarcastically.
"Does your head still hurt?"Larry asks him.
"Oh, yeah. it's better now, not hurt."He replied as he was pretending.
Suddenly Larry dropped the towel from his waist to change his clothes while Sam acted awkwardly when he saw it and he looked around just not to see it as he got shy.
