MSL - Leave the House

Christ wasn't at home, he didn't even seem to care about me and how I was doing at all. I decided to end it all, living like a parasite in that house is very sad. I took my rucksack, put in two pairs of jeans and two t-shirts, that's all I had.

"Mr. Hudson asks you to stay." The maid said when I was about to leave the house and she caught me.

"I'm just going to campus." I answered. "Mr.Hudson knows that I have to go to campus every day." I replied trying to act normal.

"I've contacted him and he let me into campus today." My lie.

The maid finally relented and let me go. Although maybe he will still continue to think that I will really leave and will not come back to that house.

After I went to campus and went through my quite boring routine as a student, it was time for me to go to Uncle Bento's shop.

Reluctantly I entered the shop. "Hey... you don't look excited girls." said hello Uncle Bento.

"Yes." I answered.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Just a little unwell." I replied. Actually more than my physique, my heart is not in good condition. My mood is messy and somehow I'm lazy to face people today.

"Can I finish my shift in the back kitchen?" I asked. The back kitchen was the washing up section and Uncle Bento raised his eyebrows. But a few moments later he nodded after some consideration.

"You should say that to Zevanya."

"I'll talk to her Uncle, Thanks." I answered immediately grabbed the apron and put it on then walked towards the kitchen after putting my bag in the locker.

I started washing the glass while thinking that Mr. Hudson must have had a hard time looking for me.

"The handsome uncle came looking for you." Ze's voice startled me.

"Handsome uncle?" I asked confused.

"That lecturer, shouldn't we call him uncle?" Zevanya giggled.

"Is he came?" I asked confused.

"Right as I walked in, he was already seated and seemed to be waiting for his coffee I guess." Ze answered while tying her hair.

"Ze please don't say that I work today. I don't want to see him." I begged Zevanya.

"Do you caused trouble at his house?" Ask Zevanya.

"I'll explain everything, but not here. I'll talk when we get to your apartment." I said.

"Ok." Zeva nodded. She quickly put on an apron with her name on it and left me alone in the back kitchen. While she will replace my job as a waiter today.

***

We arrived at Ze's apartment with a tired body. I threw my body on the sofa as well as Ze after he took out two cans of coke for us both.

"Thanks." I replied when Ze handed me the can of coke. I opened it and took a sip of its contents, it was so refreshing after a long tiring day.

"So tell me." Ze's voice broke the silence. "Did you steal something from his house?"

I rolled my eyes "I may be poor, but I don't have the foolish mind to do such a lowly thing." I answered.

Ze pursed his lips for a while, like he was thinking about something and started to look confused. "He actually asked everyone about your whereabouts, and left his private phone number, even to me." Ze showed me a business card named Christopher Hudson.

"Isn't he your lecturer, of course he will be able to find you on campus when you go to college, right? Why does he look so panic now."

"I don't know." I squeezed my face.

"What do you have to do with that rich man?" Zevanya kept urging me and I became very depressed.

"Ze, you know I have no one in the world to talk to but you, don't you?" I grabbed Zevanya's hand and she looked at me pity.

"I'll be honest about everything that happened to me, and I hope you don't judge me." I said.

"Ok." She looked at me worried. "Say it all, don't have anything covered."

I swallowed hard, trying to discuss my esophagus, telling Zevanya it felt so heavy that I felt like my esophagus was so dry. I recounted our meeting on campus the first time he came to the class, how my first impressions were until his arrival at the tavern and as he drove me home until I didn't actually go back to the dorm but instead stayed at his house and got an assignment from him. In fact, I told her the first time he kissed me, when I walked into his room and saw him wrapped only in a waist-length towel and how my body reacted from that time to the night where he said he was jealous of Justin and a picture of Mrs. Mc Kurtney.

"Are you're crazy." It was a sentence that came out of Ze's lips as I finished my story.

"I told you I was really crazy just now." I'm really frustrated with this state of affairs.

Ze was silent for a while, "I remember yesterday Justin said that the man who came to pick you up said something to him."

My eyes rounded, "What?" I asked incredulously.

Ze seemed to recall her chat with Justin as he treated the injuries to Justin's face inflicted by Christoper Hudson. "Justin said that at that time you were with him and suddenly the man came. He asked Justin to keep his hand away from you but Justin had time to fight back, he even stayed holding you until the man hit him in the face." Ze explained. "That's what Justin told me when I was treating the wound on his face."

"Oh." I squeezed my face once more, "What should I do?" I asked.

"Meet him, he must be very worried about you." Ze's answer made me creak my eyebrows, I couldn't even believe he said that.

"He was once divorced from his wife, Mrs. Mc Kurtney that perfect woman, what do I expect from our relationship?"

"Don't question this to me, but talk to him about this." Zevanya left me in her room.

"I'm going to take a shower." She said as he left me in a small room close to the kitchenette inside Zevanya's small apartment. Suddenly there was a sound of the door being knocked on. I don't know if Ze is waiting for someone, but because she is taking a shower, so I walked in the direction of the door and opened it.

My steps stalled after standing in the doorway, intending to undo my intentions. I don't know what made me hesitate to open the door, but there was a knocking sound once again, until I finally opened the door. My eyes were rounded and my body was petrified as soon as I looked at who was standing at the door. I intended to close the door again but he blocked it, and it made me swallow hard, incredulously seeing who was standing opposite me at the moment.

"Zevanya told me if you're here." I turned my head inside and Ze stood far behind me.

"Come with me." He said as he reached out, but I really don't want to talk now.

I lowered my head, "I don't want to talk." I said short.

He fold his hands in front of his chest, his gaze sharply fixed on me, "I don't like to solve problems in this way, you leave for no reason." He said.

I was silent for a while, until I finally dared to say, "I have a reason." I said.

"The reason that only you know what it is." His protest, although he didn't scream when he said it, he actually said in a low and deep tone, but it felt much more threatening.

"I've decided what's best for me and for you, sir." I answered softly

"Ok, if you think this is the best. I won't look for you anymore." He replied as he left the door of Ze's apartment. His steps were relieved and sure, he didn't even turn his head back in the slightest. Is this a sign that he doesn't really love me? Oh... everything makes me so crazy.
