"You have to pull the chair first, you lowly noble." muttered the young man who looked older than Arkanza.
Meanwhile, the two women there no longer said.
He recognized the man on his right side. Who would have thought that the body he occupied would be that of the son of his nemesis? The son of Adam Smith, the business partner who betrayed him? What kind of coincidence is this? And he could conclude that Arkanza had been thrown into the world with time advancing. 'That means the old woman is Isabella? Wait, but it doesn't look alike. Has it changed? Then Albert, I don't know if the Smith family has a companion, except from his mother? But this woman looks familiar' Arkanza thought as she waited for his food to be prepared by Albert right in front of him.
Norman Sukamta for the umpteenth time chuckled at Albert who cared so much for Arkanza, even Albert's suspicious feelings made Norman look at Arkanza even more with hatred.
"Did the servant even taste the food first? Does he consider himself a king?"
"Norman, lower your voice!" said Amber Sukamta, the second child of the father's wife.
The oblique words were clearly heard by Arkanza, "Aa--"
"That useless boy has a different condition than you, and I don't remember teaching you to speak at meals. Maria, did I forget to remind you of this?" the corner of his lips turned to Arkanza who was still waiting for Albert to finish serving her food. The man then turned to his other wife and child, even as he still tried to keep his cutlery in hand.
Somehow the heavy, casual sounding voice made Arkanza flash a faint smile, he who picked Adam up from the valley of despair, taught him to be a man, and now Adam was applying manners to his wife? Had this been a theater performance, Arkanza would have been the first to burst out laughing.
Like watching a talking dog.
"Sorry, Norman is just a kid. I'll remind them again later."
The woman lowered her head, glancing at her children for attitude."This is the last dish, enjoy." Albert said after finishing tasting the food that was placed in front of Arkanza.
"Thank you All." he said then took the rice and side dishes. Seeing that made the others continue eating, there was only silence there. Albert chose to retreat and let the small family interact, he walked to the kitchen and made small talk with the waiter who was on standby there.
Back in the dining room, Adam briefly glanced at Arkanza with the tail of his eye. Realizing this, Maria tried not to disturb the atmosphere, especially since her children could not keep quiet.
"I heard you fainted at school, next time if you haven't fully recovered try not to trouble others. I had to lose a big contract because of you." Adam said without looking at Arkanza at all.
"Arkan's father, don't be too hard on him. I'm sure Arkan has his own reasons."
Maria seemed to be trying to get into the conversation but Adam ignored her, patiently waiting for Arkanza to answer her.
However, Arkanza seemed to ignore her and continued eating. Seeing this, made Norman feel upset. Moreover, his mother seemed to be trying to get involved, which made Norman hate Arkanza even more.
"Enough! Can't you answer papa's question? Stop making my mom look like a fool here, you're just a useless kid who has nothing to contribute to this place!"
With a thump on the table, making all pairs of eyes stare at him.
"You can only trouble my parents, get them in trouble and keep causing trouble! Don't you feel sorry for them!?"
his voice grew louder as she rose from his seat. Busy rebuking Arkanza who was not paying attention to Norman.
"What a man!!!" Norman continued angrily.
"Norman! Lower your tone!"
At first Arkanza felt normal, but after the last word he heard for some reason his chest tightened, so much that he didn't know what to do. Both of his hands stopped and hurriedly reached for the glass, grabbing the water pitcher. In his mind there was only the heat in him chest.
"Haha! Look Arkanza, even my mom yelled at me because of you!!!" he continued.
'What's going on? Why does my throat feel so dry and thirsty' Arkanza thought.
Soon his tears melted down his cheeks, his head hurt so much that Arkanza coughed loudly while holding his neck which was so hot.
"Arkan, what's wrong!" said Adam Smith who looked worried.
Arkanza tried to speak but sobs came out of him, making his voice unclear.
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, Albert chose to relax at the dining table in the kitchen. Eating more food.
"It's flour fried shrimp, so good." he muttered softly.
"Of course, it's fresh shrimp caught from the fisherman sir. I also used lotus root flour, who would have thought that the crispiness would last longer." said a chef proud of his achievement.
"Young master likes seafood so much," he continued.
His eyes bulged involuntarily, "Wait, you said lotus root flour?"
The chef nodded fearfully, "Right sir, does young master have any allergies to this plant?"
He didn't think Arkan was allergic to flour, "Not really." Albert replied while still eating his flour fried shrimp. "The young master likes seafood but he can't eat it."
.
Well, and Arkanza darted towards the bathroom followed by both Mr. and Mrs. Smith. And for the umpteenth time a commotion broke out in the Smith residence where an Arkanza was sobbing in the bathroom stall.
How embarrassed was he, an Arkanza whose life would have been lost if he hadn't been vigilant about crying over nothing right now? This was truly a joke.
One hand cupped her mouth to prevent her from making a sound, but it was hard to deny that her chest was so tight. Instantly the memory of the master of the body was humiliated by a woman, at that time Arkan ate in a hurry because of Norman's actions and Amber captured the moment with a digital camera. Making Arkanza a spectacle, and it hurt his pride as a Smith.
Continued.
If it was only sent to a private forum containing the extended family, then the body reaction shown would not be this severe. "Hi guys, it's me again. Can you see what this person is doing? Wait, are you sure it's a living entity?" said Norman in a very cheerful voice. His feet pointed to the young man who was eating his food in silence, in a deep bow. But unfortunately Norman did not stay silent, together with his sister Amber, he continued to disturb Arkanza's peace in enjoying his food. Amber stepped forward and poured a lot of hot sauce into the plate, making Arkanza's food contaminated with the hot sauce. "Come on, eat greedily like livestock, hahaha!" said Amber with her hand pushing Arkanza's head to touch his food with her mouth. Then Norman continued to record the scene, Arkanza was forced to eat his food. The sound of sobs and nausea echoed until the food was gone without a trace. "Good, eat until finished. Don't waste the food that the chef has worked so hard to make, f
"Mom, dad is calling you." A teenage girl looked so careful in calling an older woman. Amber didn't get the answer she wanted, thinking of calling her mother back. "Mom--" "I'll catch up with you later. Is Norman in his room?" Maria rebutted in a low voice. The hand took a small towel that she used to wipe the body of the young man who looked sound asleep, put the object in a small basin filled with water and wrung it out. "He's in the room. Mom, dad--" "Can't you read the situation? Something hurts here." Amber was surprised to hear her mother's words, Maria usually didn't act like this. It felt like Amber was so far away from Maria, and her mother was like another person in a short time. Amber kept thinking, the last time she was scolded because her actions had gone too far in teasing Arkanza that he was punished. So did her younger sibling, not to mention her actions that made the whole school treat Arkanza badly. All of that was done by Amber and Norman, inciting, and so o
"Why did you two take so long to arrive?" asked a woman with two braids to Amber who got out of the car. Followed by Norman who had been greeted by his friends. "Is this the work of that damn brat again?" asked a young man wearing the same uniform as Norman. "Shut up idiot, I don't want to talk about it!" Norman replied curtly. Norman was indeed known to have a bad temper, his friend was seen looking into the car. "You two didn't go together this time?" asked his friend again. "We left him, we haven't even put on the uniform yet." said Amber who was disciplined about time. It was also because today's duty schedule made Amber and Norman rush too lazy to cause trouble, the Killer teacher named Isla was too strong to be defeated. Luckily Adam had gone to work, so they didn't need to cause more trouble for his mother. "I don't care if he walks to school or something." said Norman in a mocking tone. Because Norman and Amber often left Arkan on the road for unclear reasons, and tha
"What's going on!? Who are you!? And you--Mr. Bodgan, why are you wearing casual clothes to class?! Don't you want to go to school here anymore!?" Hearing the interruption of a more mature voice, made Milan release his grip. "Forgive me Sir, I'm the one who caused the commotion. I'm only here to deliver my master's uniform, I apologize profusely for this commotion. But allow me to help Mr. Arkanza change into his uniform." Milan bowed his body respectfully, hearing Milan's explanation made one of the educators straighten his gaze towards Arkanza. "You brought him here, Mr. Bodgan? He hasn't been to school for a long time and then he comes in and acts up? How dare you are, Mr. Bodgan." continued the teacher. With a receding forehead and a bit of hair, the man glared at Arkanza in annoyance, he also helped Anagata who had mocked Arkanza earlier. "Maybe Sir has misunderstood, I say it again--" "I don't care about what a subordinate like you says, I only believe in what I see. You can
Night, hotel xxA grown man was smoking a cigar in his hand, he was staring into the distance with heavy breathing. Arkanza let the wind hit his tired face, today he attended a meeting organized by one of his colleagues.A footstep he could hear clearly, a faint smile graced his handsome face. He knew clearly who it was but what he found next was something he could never have imagined.KRASSHH!The sound of a sharp object sticking into something was so obvious in the quiet atmosphere, him bead darted in surprise, thick liquid seeping out of the wound, a terrible grin on him face, Arkanza was still so shocked by the current situation."Why..." he murmured but instead of an answer he received a blurred vision.Him cigar falling out of him hand followed by mixed feelings, Arkanza gripped tightly the hand of the person who stuck the sharp object into him stomach.'I don't accept...'The body fell down with a loud noise, he could still see the legs that stood tall in front of him before an
his feet treaded across the hallway, several pairs of eyes looked at her with interest and some with wonder. The hustle and bustle turned into a commotion, the people were curious, as was he himself. Her beady eyes wandered in various directions to refract her gaze, before the room with flats 1-7 made her step inside. Again, all pairs of eyes stared at her, as if he was the object of most interest there."Why is there no notice that we have a new student?" a student said to his friend."Wait, that face looks familiar." said another.Arkanza walked towards the table that was covered in graffiti, he checked the entire surface of the object including the chair."Hm, safe. Still usable." he said calmly.As if not considering the people present there, he sat her butt on the seat. Taking out a few books from the desk locker, his began to turn over the sheets that were covered in graffiti."Doesn't he know that the desk belongs to that person?" whispered the children not far from where he wa
'Well, games like this are also played by children huh? No wonder, trying to be a manipulative early on eh.' He thought, he was in the same position for a long time until the rumors were heard again even people outside the classroom also wanted to witness the sight of none other than that."What's all the fuss about!" said a voice that sounded more mature.'This is it.' Arkan thought."You guys, you guys again! What's going on this time--""Uhukk!"Arkan accidentally coughed loudly, he rubbed his nose which happened to be bleeding accidentally saw his fingers back and made the people around him see what was in his hand.The adult man who turned out to be the board of educators looked anxiously at Arkan who still did not move from the spot, "Can you stand up? You guys are too much." he said again, pushing Arkan to stand up.Instantly pieces of the body master's past swirled around, he felt like he was being torn apart in that memory. 'Tsk, none of these people are right!'His elbow nud
The bead opened slowly with the room dark, the moonlight being the only illumination. he hands held his head, which felt dizzy.he beady eyes wandered, finding Albert the faithful servant asleep in a sitting position."I think I'm dehydrated," Arkanza said, his gaze falling to a tablet on the nightstand.The slender fingers grabbed the rectangular object and began fiddling with a screen, the face detector being the key to unlocking it."Face detection huh, hm let's see what we can find here." he muttered.His gaze began to trace, from the time to the note icon on the front display."Other than the name, there's nothing..., hold on. What is this?"That's the gallery, Arkanza observed the portrait taken along with the date of the photo."Why do I feel something is wrong?" he muttered again.Because the obsolete tablet had been in use for too long, the back end had overheated and crashed."Who can use an obsolete object like this, doesn't he love his life?" he muttered again.A note open
