SNEAKING

"Ara, I was asking." Cloud sat near the girl.

Cloud looked at the girl's neck. Some traces prove that something has happened to the girl every now and then.

"Let me see." Cloud tucked Ara's hair back and looked closer at the girl's neck.

"Cloud, what the hell?" Ara looked uncomfortable.

"Ara, you shower at night, right?" asked Cloud again.

The look in Cloud's eyes shook her heart. Ara was afraid, to tell the truth about why she took a shower at night. Cloud must be sick. She then looked for another reason to keep the prince's feelings.

"Yeah, my body is hot. What's wrong with a night bath, Cloud?"

Ara asked back. She covered up what happened and why she had to take a shower.

"Not. I'm just worried," Cloud replied flatly.

"Worry?"

"Yeah, I'm worried if he's done anything bad to you," Cloud said, his face turning gloomy.

Suddenly Ara swallowed the rendang she was eating whole. She then drank a glass of water.
