Oddest Dinner

EIJUN

I THOUGHT my plan would not work, but I was surprised when she suddenly came out of her room.



“You're really making me angry, jerk!” she shouted.



“Well, can I take it as a compliment?” I insulted.



With stumping feet, she walks toward me and pulled me over in my collar. Right now, she looks like a real Amazon girl.



“Then I'm going to kill you.”



Now, now. It looks like I really did pissed her off. To be honest, I enjoy teasing her. It's because she's very sensitive, but I don't want it when she starts hurting me.



Our first date was really a terror. It's because, she kicked my ... weakness in front of a lot of people, again and slapped me when I tried to touch her cheek. Right there then I realized that she's more than sensitive. She's super sensitive! 



The truth was I tried to make some pranks on her but every time I do it, I ended having karma on my back, so I stopped. Honestly, my first plan was to make it hard for her so that she will personally hate the engagement and then, she would report to her parents. By that, the engagement will be ruin and I will be free as the eagle. 



But that was a wrong move. 



After days of doing those things to her, I found out no matter what I do to torture her, she will never complain because she's not in good terms with her parents. 



So maybe, I might really end up marrying her ... haaay! But I won't give up.



The wedding is still after this idiot's debut, so I still have a long time. There are many more ways.



Also, I already know why she used to be in public school. It's because she fled away from their home because of a family misunderstanding.



If you want to ask who told me that? Well, it's her Mom. I asked her out of curiosity, and she answered me honestly. Her parents are really nice. This woman is lucky because she still has sweet parents, unlike me. I am just grateful and my grandparents are still there.



Let's go back to the present, I'm afraid that she might really kill me.



“Oh, yeah? Then I'll haunt you when I become a ghost,” I threatened her too.



She suddenly released me.



“Be thankful that I'm not in the mood to fight you. Next time I'll give you what you deserve,” she said. She was about to walk towards the staircase when I realized something.



“Are you afraid of ghosts?”



She automatically stopped. Then I can't help but grin. So the Amazon girl also have a weakness. 



“Ha-huh?!” She said, trying to deny my prediction. “Who's afraid of ghosts? I'm not afraid of a ghost!”



I eyed her intently and one looked away of her eyeballs from my stare, I knew then that I'm one hundred percent correct.



“Oh, really? Then, who's behind you?!”



Her face immediately turn white, and I can clearly sense the fear in her eyes. Reflexes out ruled her. She ran towards me and fearfully hugged me on my left arm.



“Hahaha,” I laughed my heart out. “You're scared of ghosts.” That's a confirmation, not a question.



She seemed to realize that I just tricked her, so she pushed me away, hatred is visible in her eyes.



“I'm not scared, jerk!” She shouted, and then she walked towards the staircase and went down.



While watching her annoyed face, I realized that she's such a cutie.

I FOLLOWED her and when I arrived in the dining room, Ella was already sitting, but she didn't sit next to her parents instead they were in front of her.



I sat beside Ella so that she would not be alone in that area. Later on, the maids serve the food on the table.



“'Why the hell are—” I interrupted what she was going to say because I knew she was going to ask a rude question.



“We're glad that you visited tonight, Ma'am, Sir,” I said with a gentle voice but in the same time, glared at Ella and because she's an idiot, she also glared back at me.



“That's too formal, Eijun. You can call us Mom and Dad starting this day on,” Her Mom replied. “We're just here to check on you two.”



“Trying to make sure we won't runaway?” Ella whispered. There's an annoying disgust in her tone. Good thing her parents didn't hear her. Tsk! This brat.



“Besides, we will also announce that Cindy is officially enrolled in the V.E. University starting tomorrow, she'll be studying right there,” Her father said.



“No need, I already knew,” Ella whispered again. With the same tone she used just a while ago.



Aish, did she really forget how to use 'respect' in a conversation?



“Thanks for letting us know,” Instead of giving this brat's tantrums attention, I said with a smile. “Come on, let's eat.”



Then we started eating. It's full of silent at first and kind of peaceful, but it was ruined when ...



“Jerk, move a little. You're making me feel jammed!” she said even though her position has already a wide space.



“I'm sorry, princess,” I said sarcastically. I moved just like she asked even though I'm just centimeters away from the vacant seat just next to me.



The table is long. It has ten seats. Four at both length of the table and each one at the both width. It's just the typical table in the home of the middle class family.



“Why are you beside me, anyway? We have a lot of seats right there, why don't you just sit on them.” I heard her said pertaining to me even though she was not looking at me.



“Idiot, why would I go sit in the other seats when my future wife's seat have a vacant one beside it?” I said with the same tone she used.



“Don't call me that, jerk. You disgust me,” She whispered again while not looking at me.



Before I could speak again, I looked at her parents. They don't seem to be angry, but they look at us intently. Observing our so sweet murmurings.



I smiled at them.



“Your daughter is such a joker.” And then I glared at Ella badly, she glared back as usual.



Thankfully, though Ella have lots of tantrums hiding in her sleeves, we finished eating. I ordered the maid to put away the dishes. In the same time, Ella's parents also said goodbye saying that they should get going now because they still have a lot to do. They also thanked us for the dinner and Ella being an idiot, just stayed there silent and unusually behaved. Tsk! What a weirdo.



Her parents were about to get up when she suddenly spoke.



“I have a favor to ask,” she said. There was still a trace of hesitation because she could not look at them directly. 



Hmm, so what's now? What she would asked her parents that made her think hesitantly?.



“What it is, darling?” Her Mom asked with the sweetest voice I ever heard.



“The maids are killing me.” She said and the maids who's still right there stopped on their tracks, as if they got shot by a bullet.



My eyebrows automatically furrowed. What is her problem with maids? Is this one of her tantrums again?



“I don't want anyone moving here at home for me. I prefer to clean, cook, wash and shop alone rather than having the maids do it. I'm sick of it, so can you 'please' remove them out of my sight. You can also include the drivers.”



I was surprised by what she said. Is it true that I heard 'please'? What's the matter? Why do I feel she has a deeper reason. One reason is that's too heavy for her to ask her parents like that. There's something in this issue, but I don't know what it is.



It was also surprising that her parents did not seem surprised but their expression became sad.



“So you didn't get over it yet.” Her Mom gently said with a concern tone trying to reached out to her. “Do you want us to arrange psych-” Her Mom didn't get the chance to finish what she wants to say when her father gripped his wife's arm preventing her to say more.



“Okay, I'll fire them, all of them,” he said instead. “Tomorrow morning they will be gone so rest tightly. And we're sorry that we forgot and assumed that you already got over it. We better go, bye.”



Then they sympathetically looked at me before leaving. Meanwhile, Ella did not even say 'goodbye' to her parents but continue to stay silent. 



Weird.



This dinner is so unique. The oddest dinner I ever had.
