CHAPTER 4

"What is wrong?" she asked lazily.

Lora smiled, "I just wanted to say hello to you."

Sarah continued, ignoring Lora.

"Where are you going? Wait for me, Sarah," shouted Lora.

Sarah was annoyed. It turned out that Lora was following her. So she stopped then faced Lora lazily.

"I'm going to the toilet."

"I also want to go to the toilet. Can I ...?"

"Then I'm not going to the toilet. You go there alone." Sarah emphasized the word "myself" to stop Lora from following her.

"Um, actually ... I only want to be friends with you, Sarah. No one sincerely friends with me. It is because I'm the daughter of the foundation owner. So they pretend to be my friend. Only you, Sarah. Who doesn't see me as a daughter of the foundation owner? So, I want to be friends with you, sincerely. "

"But sorry. I don't need friends. Sean is enough for me."

"Sean? Are you here with Sean? Then where is he? I didn't see him?" Lora was too excited about meeting Sean. Who knows since when the young man became so attractive in his eyes. Lora, who looks happy, doesn't realize that Sarah is going to let her out on Lora.

"I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore. Sorry. Excuse me," said Lora after seeing Sarah's annoyed face.

Sarah sighed in resignation. She knew she would not bear this kind of thing.

Boredom came over Sean, who sat alone in the middle of this ice cream shop crowd. He took several tired breaths waiting for Sarah, who never came.

His eyes caught where two girls were walking towards his table. Sarah and Lora, the girl who had fainted from it. Makes one of Sean's eyebrows rise.

'New friends?' Sean teased Sarah with his thoughts.

'It's not like that,' Sarah replied telepathically to Sean.

'Then?'

'As you can see, Sean. She's following me and wants to join us. '

'Yeah, like a chick trailing its mother,' Sean sneered at Sarah.

Again, Sean snorted in annoyance, sighing when Lora reached right in front of him. On purpose, he showed a cold face.

"Hi," said Lora pleasantly.

Sean just kept quiet. Seeing that, Lora smiled awkwardly. She felt awkward, not getting a good response from Sean.n

"May I join you?" Lora asked pleasantly. She felt even more awkward when Sean looked at her with a cold gaze.

"Just sit down," Sarah ordered. And Lora nodded.

It's quiet. Lora tried to find a topic of conversation, hope that the atmosphere is not awkward anymore.

"Are you siblings?" asked Lora suddenly.

Sarah nodded.

"You live alone or with your parents too?"

"Just us," Sarah replied.

"Then, where are your parents?" Lora kept asking.

Suddenly Sean stood up and glared at Lora, "Why do you talk so much?" Sean asked coldly, with an aura so dark. Make anyone who saw it tremble, including Lora.

"Getaway. You're just annoying." Sean chased Lora off without further ado.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I just wanted to know. Okay, I'll go now," Lora said, then hurried away without realizing he left his notebook on the table.

"She was so scared because you yelled at her, Sean," Sarah said after Lora was gone completely.

"Just leave it," Sean replied coolly.

Sarah grabbed something that was lying on the table beside her. A notebook with a light gray cover. Lora Amanda Mour, that's what she saw on the front of the notebook.

Sean knit his brows in confusion. He also paid attention to the notebook his sister was now holding.

"Lora's is left behind," she said.

"Then?"

"Of course, you should return the notebook to her, Sean."

"No. You do it."

"You're in the same class with her, you idiot, stupid Sean. Damn."

Sean sighed in resignation. He will not win against his beloved sister.

Sarah spread her gaze around. She sees a man with a black hat again who was now sitting in the corner of the shop. She just realized it seems that a person continues to follow her. Was he the one who was following her in the toilet? He paid more attention. The sharp eyes pierced and pale skin. And shoulders so straight.

'Who do you see, Sarah?'

'Sean, did you see someone in the corner?'

'Which one?'

'That, the hat and the black hat.'

'Oh, yes. Why? Wait…,' The one earlier Sean suddenly realized. 'No wonder I couldn't hear his thoughts. He blocked my power.'

'Is it true?'

"Did he do something when you went to the toilet?'

'No, Sean. I only saw him standing at the end.'

'We'd better be careful. I'm afraid. If he knows who we are.'

'You're right, Sean.'

That's how the conversation between Sean and Sarah went through their minds. It becomes a habit. When they discuss something important, they choose to speak through their minds.

"Come on, go home," said Sean.

Sarah nodded. They strolled away regardless of the suspicious person. To them, they were just careful enough as long as that person didn't attack them.

They drive a black car because they shop a lot and don't want to take risks with motorbikes.

"Who do you think that person was, Sean?" asked Sarah.

"I don't know, I didn't recognize him at all," Sean replied as he focused on driving his car.

"Is it possible, you know?"

"I don't know. But you better not ask first. Later."

Sarah nodded in understanding. She grabbed the necklace he was wearing. She was holding a beautiful pendant in the shape of a crystal heart that was able to give off a beam of light.

Right after Sean closed the apartment door, it was raining so hard. Suddenly, making Sarah runs to the balcony. Then play the rain with her passion. Sean just shook his head.

"Sean, come here. You don't know how nice this is," Sarah shouted over the sound of the rain.

"No, Sarah. You do it. You know, you're like a child."

"What are you saying?!" asked Sarah fiercely.

"Hahaha. No, no. You get on with your play. I'll bring groceries into the kitchen."

Sarah shrugged her shoulders. Then continue the show dancing among the raindrops.

Without them knowing, a tall figure with a black hat was watching them from across the street from their apartment. That figure kept watching Sarah even though it was raining heavily. But what was strange was that the rainwater was unable to touch him. Not even a drop could reach his black hoodie.
