Gloria paid attention to the lesson with a tired sigh. He was quite tired of those annoying numbers. In contrast to Giovani who paid close attention. Giovani looked at his sister, he snorted sarcastically. Her sister must be really impatient to visit Whitney's house.
Giovani's eyes fell back on the explanation of Einstein's theory on the blackboard, the memory in his head recalled an incident about him and Gloria. He remembered Einstein's theory related to the incident where Gloria claimed to be able to see ghosts.
Giovani once heard a theory coined by Einstein. He proved that the energy in the universe is something constant and that it cannot be created or destroyed. So what happens when someone dies? The person's energy should transform into another form of energy. We should be able to call this new form of energy 'ghosts'. Christ once said that when Giovani and Gloria argued about the existence of ghosts, it wasn't a matter of whether they existed or not but a matter of belief. Just like when you believe in the existence of God, the same goes for ghosts.
Every human being is born with their own destiny, and will die carrying responsibility for their actions. There are some humans who are born with special features, such as being able to see invisible creatures. When we talk about Giovani's privileges, I remember something.
One day, when he and Gloria were still in elementary school. It was summer vacation and the family went on holiday to grandma and grandpa's house in a village in New York. The pair of twins Gio and Glo are not doing anything in their room. It should be emphasized that only Gloria has nothing to do, while Giovani spends his time reading books and studying.
Maybe what Gloria was thinking when she suddenly said, "Gio, you know I can see ghosts," said Gloria.
As if swallowing Gloria's words whole, Giovani froze and looked at Gloria. Her twin didn't return Giovani's gaze, Gloria just focused on her back and stared at the ceiling of their room as if it were an interesting object.
"What do you see?!"
"The ghost of a child under the cupboard and the ghost under your bed," replied Gloria.
Giovani chuckled, "You braggart."
"Gosh! You don't believe me?! I'm not responsible when the ghosts approach you while you're sleeping, they will take you and eat your brain," replied Gloria.
"Why only me?! Ah of course, I forgot that you don't have a brain," said Giovani with a chuckle. Gloria glared in annoyance and threw a pillow at Giovani at that time.
And since then Giovani has never taken seriously what Gloria said about being able to see ghosts. All of that was just Gloria's bullshit, because at that time there were three ghosts in their room. Moreover, there is not a ghost of a child under the cupboard and there is no ghost under Giovani's bed.

The sun seems to be moving very fast today, Giovani glanced at his watch. It was forty-two minutes past three, and that meant school was over. He and Gloria returned to their original plan to visit Whitney, of course with their friends. Yes, even though they should have arrived at Whitney's house half an hour ago if Gloria hadn't whined to stop at a cake shop.
Forget about Giovani and his world, now Gloria is in front of a display case displaying delicious cakes. How can a shop owner make an entire recipe that looks delicious. Gloria's eyes were glued to a box of dessert boxes sprinkled with grated chocolate and don't forget the whole chocolate-flavored macaroons. Very tempting to devour. Gloria reached into the pocket of the school uniform she was wearing, but she couldn't find anything. Ah, he should have asked Giovani for money before entering the shop.
"Jane, I'll take the money from the car. Please tell the waiter to keep a box of dessert for me," Gloria said to Jane, pointing to a dessert.
"Okay, I'll get someone to wrap it up," replied Jane as Gloria walked away.
Gloria appears to be approaching Giovani and his male friend. They seemed to be having fun talking with each other, and as usual Giovani just remained silent as a listener and would respond occasionally. Her brother wasn't the type of person who talked a lot, even though Gloria always said that his character was cheerful. Gloria and Giovani are not always compatible in many ways, such is their nature. Gloria calls their differences the terms 'Yin and Yang', while Giovani prefers to call them 'Silent and Sound'.
"Gio, give me money, I spent my last money to buy a can of soda," said Gloria when she was near Giovani's group.
"Huh?! I thought your money would never run out, remembering how friends call Giovani 'Handsome and Rich'," said David.
Giovani stopped what he was doing with his cell phone, glanced at Gloria, who had her arms crossed. He didn't bother and immediately got into the car looking for his wallet.
"That's right, two words that are not far from Giovani," added Matt.
"Will you guys shut up?! Or I'll hit the face you call handsome," replied Gloria.
"Wow! Calm down, buddy. You're too grumpy, be careful no boys are interested in you," said David.
"Hey Dav, what do you mean? It's not like you like Gloria, you forgot how Gio hit you in the face when you said you wanted to give Gloria a love letter?" Matt said to David. David stared at Matt flatly, curse Matt with all his stupidity. Now how will David meet Gloria. David appeared to approach and squeeze Matt's neck. Gloria chuckled softly at David and Matt's behavior. Then he turned his gaze towards the road filled with vehicles.
The street looks congested, perhaps this is because the children have finished with the activities they call school. Gloria is still waiting, Oh damn! Did Giovani take money in Egypt?! Long time. Gloria's eyes accidentally caught a man walking to cross the street. The man seemed focused on his cellphone until he didn't notice a truck speeding towards him from a distance.
"HEY! WATCH OUT!"
"HEY!"
"Ah, damn," Gloria ran towards the man after shouting but couldn't get a response from the man. Giovani got out of the car and saw Gloria running towards the truck.
"GLO WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" said Giovani while shouting after Gloria.
It was only moments before the truck hit the man's body. Gloria had to hurry, otherwise the man would be crushed.
"GLORIA I SAID STOP!"
Oh, don't forget Giovani who chased Gloria, but unfortunately he lost quickly when he tried to reach Gloria, who ran in front of the truck first.
BRAAK...
"GLORIA!"
Giovani accelerated his run until he arrived in front of Gloria. Luckily, Gloria was able to catch the man in time. Damn, Giovani felt like his heart was going to explode when he saw Gloria jump in front of the truck.
"Are you okay?" said Gloria to the man she had just saved.
"I'm fine, but thank you for helping me."
"Be careful next time, and what is that?! Don't use earphones when crossing," said Gloria, pointing to the earphones the man was wearing.
"Hey, next time use your brain!" This time it was Giovani who spoke sarcastically.
"Did you hear?!" Gloria replied.
"I mean you, stupid," said Giovani and then went back to his car.
"What?! Gio are you mocking me?! Damn, oh yes you too. Be careful when crossing, don't try to die too young. You're too handsome for that, um I mean you still have a lot of things to try," said Gloria.
"Thank you again, I'm Nielle D'luca."
"Oh, I'm Gloria Wang and that was my brother. Then I'm going, we have to go somewhere now. Have a nice day," replied Gloria then went towards her friends.
