(Condolences for the death of our friend, Alliando Evans. Hopefully the deceased will rest in peace)
Shasha glanced at the screen of her cellphone, before putting it back in her jacket pocket.
"Please accept my condolences."
Her mutter was cold, without a trace of sincerity in her voice.Because in reality, she is not really grieving. For her, the news of Alliando's death seemed normal. Like the job vacancies that were plastered in large plaster at the bus stop where she is waiting for the bus now.
Her cellphone ring again, make her eyes that originally stared blankly at the road now turned back towards her jacket pocket.
Answer or not?.
She is battling these two choices. And her hunch said that the incoming call must be related to the sad news that continues to flow like water in the school group where she has silenced it notification for one year.While she is still fighting with thoughts in her head, the ringing of her cellphone finally stopped. Even though the next second, the ringing was repeated again.
'Okay, just pick it up'
Sighing heavily, she finally chose the option that she didn't want to take the most.Siena's name was displayed on the screen.
Inside, she started to grumble. Her hunch was right, this call must be related to sad news that flooded the group. Because Siena is her high school friend.Beep..
"Hmm ?.""Hello Sha?. Have you read the group?"
Siena's hoarse voice immediately entered her ear drum.Reflexively, she nodded her head. Even though in the end she realized, her actions were in vain because Siena wouldn't see the nod of her head.
"Hello, Sha?"
"Yes."
She answered briefly."I swear Sha, I never really thought that Alliando would die this young. Even though he was ..."
She slipped her cellphone into her pocket again, letting Siena continue rambling on while she entered the bus with calm strides. She wasn't really interested in listening to Siena's long words which she thought were very insignificant.
For her, anything about Alliando didn't interest her at all. In fact, she doesn't care even if Alliando is elected president or conquers the world.
Cold.
She knew that people who saw her current attitude would judge her as someone cold-hearted and heartless. But, she doesn't care. Her sympathy was totally unworthy to a man named Alliando. The man who made her life a total hell.

"Do I really have to come?"
Shasha looked at Siena with a flat gaze.
Siena, who heard Shasha question, immediately widened her eyes with a look of disbelief.
"Huh?, what do you mean, Sha? Of course You have to! How can you don't come when your classmates die?"
Siena holding her head in frustration when she saw Shasha's gaze that remained flat."Oh."
Shasha answered briefly. She then put the headset in her ear, staring at the road flashing through the car window.Westlife's song begin to play, making her unconsciously close her eyes slowly and recalling a memory that Hana will never forget.
"You really smells like a trash!."
A sentence that she will never forget. Even with an expression that is drawn on the face of someone who made that sentence.
A handsome face with light brown eyes filled with disgust, radiated clearly in his beautiful eyes. It was as if he was staring at something the most disgusting in the world.
His red lips that just said those sharp words lifted slightly, creating a faint grin full of contempt.
Ah, she really hates remembering about that guy."Sha, wake up, we're here."
The hard shaking on her body made her eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened.
"Oh."
Again, She answered flatly. She then opened the safety belt and started walking, following Siena steps who walk first in front of her.The super wide yard that she entered is already filled with various vehicles, even to the road outside the house. Indicates that the owner of this house is someone who is highly respected.
Ah, respected..
She grimaced at the thought that crossed her head. Since when did the owner of this house deserve to be categorized as an honorable person?"For God's sake, stop staring at your cellphone screen, Sha!"
Siena pinched Hanas stomach, making her, who initially looked at the cellphone screen to get rid of boredom was forced to keep her cellphone in her pocket.Her head, which had been bowed, was now lifted, looking ahead at the crowd of people who were crying or whispering softly to one another.
In the middle, lay a handsome man who looks like he is fast asleep. His handsome face was very calm, even a smile formed at the corner of his lips. Anyone who saw the man, probably thought that he was sleeping rather than die.
However, she didn't care at all. No matter how handsome he is right now, to her, Alliando is no more attractive than a fly that frequently stalks her food.
Ah, she just wanted to leave this place immediately. Sleep comfortably on her soft bed. Fortunately, the funeral was quite short because Alliando did leave a will to be buried immediately.
She looked at Siena who was still talking to her other high school friends. In her heart, she hopes that Siena will finish. She chose to stand in the corner, not feeling the need to join them. After all, in her relationship category, they don't belong to the 'friends' category.
"Sorry miss, are you perhaps miss Shasha?"
She turned her head, staring at a young man in front of her.
"Yes?"
She furrowed her brows, completely unfamiliar with the man who had been standing beside her for some time.
"May I have your time, Miss?"
He asked again."Sure?"
She looked at the man with a doubtful look.As soon as he heard Shasa's answer, the man immediately let out a sigh of relief.His relieved face made Shasha frown deeper."Please come with me, miss."
The man gave a polite bow, then started walking, making Shasha follow his footsteps with questions in her head.
Who is this man?
That's the biggest question in her head. Not a single face in her memory matched the face of the man walking in front of her.One of the students in her high school maybe?.She narrowed her eyes. Ah, this guy could really be a student at her school. As someone who didn't really hang out in high school, it's natural that she didn't really remember the students in her former high school.
"Please come in, miss."
The man opened the door to a large room that located at the corner of the corridor. She must admit, Alliando's house is indeed very spacious, even hundreds of times larger than her current rented house.
She looked around the room that she believed to be a reading room because it was filled with towering bookshelves. Complete with several sofas and tables that would have been very comfortable to sit on.
"So, what do you need to bring me here?"
Asked Shasha without further ado when her ass had just sat on the sofa which was indeed very soft.The man looked taken aback, it was just that he quickly hid his surprise and lowered his head,
"Forgive my impudence miss for bringing you without explaining anything,"The man lifted his head again, looked straight at Hana."Introduce, I am Hans, Sir Alliando's personal secretary. Let me convey Sir Alliando's will to you."He continued.Unlike Hans, who was very calm, Shasha widened her eyes in shock, or rather, in shock. Alliando's Will?, what is the relation between Alliando's will and she?.
"Will?"
Hans nodded his head,
"Yes miss, will."
He handed a folder to Shasha.
"One of them is, all of sir Alliando's inheritance, passed on to Miss Shasha ..."
Shasha looked at the pile of old paper on her lap. Paper that from its appearance can be guessed that this paper has been stored for a very long time. Right at the right corner of the paper, the letters S and W.She never thought, now she will see this paper again. The paper that she collects every time she helps her neighbor who opened a recycled paper business in high school. Due to her family's poor economy, she decided to look for additional money.She even once arranged these papers into a book. Although, she lost her book on her high school graduation day. And who would have thought, that paper and book landed in Alliando's hands."Ah, besides being a bully, he was also a thief."She grimaced."A thief that I can't understand his way of thinking."Her memory immediately drifted back to the conversation she had with Hans earlier."All of sir Alliando's inheritance is handed over to Miss Shasha, includi
Shasha's mother turned out to be Alliando's father's best friend and first love. However, due to a problem, they could not be together and then decided to marry someone else.Once Shasha's father died, they had an affair behind Alliando's mother. Makes his mother very heartbroken and decides to commit suicide. Although some time later, his father also died due to an illness.(I know I shouldn't blame you, Sha. But I'm too stupid not to do that. Since you are that woman's daughter, I think you deserve to be blamed too. I thought, that woman will surely be in a million times more pain if I hurt you. But .. it turns out I can't really hurt you. Funny right? Even though I was who originally created that hell for you. But I'm also the one who's secretly trying to cool that hell down a little for you. I'm crazy, Sha, and very evil. I understand that you must really hate me. So, if I die later, let the rest of me be yours Sha. At least be kind for just this time and
SHASHA"Mommy?""Hem?"I touched my mother's face, stroking her soft cheeks that used to be my routine every morning. The soft feeling that filled my hands made me feel impossible if I was currently dreaming. But, even if I dream, then I am willing that I never wake up and remain in this dream."Yes, dear?"She looked at me with a shocked eyes. Her hand went up, touched my cheek"Why are you crying?"Ah, I was crying unconsciously. Maybe because I really miss her. There is not a single human being on this earth that I miss the most besides her.Mama..If people say that a daughter's first love is her father, then it's different from me. My father died since I was born, and mom immediately took over the dual role of raising me well.She is very cool in playing the dual role. When I need a father figure to teach me to play soccer as a school assignment, then Mom will do it very we
I didn't pay attention to the gazes of the people who looked at me with both amazed and astonished eyes. Ah, I know what they are thinking right now. They may think something like "Wow, is she out of her mind?" or "Is she being possesing by the demon?"The three people who had been looking at me with mocking eyes also fell silent, of course with disbelief. In my previous life, when they did this, I decided to run and hide inside the school warehouse. Crying with a body trembling between fear and shame. That's when they locked me in there and only opened the door when the exam was over.My eyes stare at my desk which is filled with writings. Such as "go to hell" or "Freak and stinks" and many other writings with almost the same content : to mocking me.When the teacher asks about the writing on my desk, the three bullies always say that I asked them to do it for fun. Then Senine would start bragging about how influential her father was to this
"What's the matter, Sha? Why do you make Senine hurt that she has to be taken to the Infirmary?"I looked at the beautiful woman with a motherly face who was sitting in front of me. The look in her eyes seemed to say that she was very worried about me. Though .. everything is just a bullshit.Madam Sharon was never really worried about me. Sweet words that always encourage me to be patient and calm myself so as not to interfere with my studies. However, it was all just an attempt she made to maintain her reputation as an excellent teacher. And of course, to build Senine's father's good opinion of her."Be patient Sha. I'm sure all your friends are just kidding. "I want to laugh when I remember her words from the past. Kidding? Seriously! Does damaging someone else's mentality get into the category of joking? How sad!"Sha?"I lowered my head deeply as madam Sharon called
"Damn!"I turned around when I heard a curse from someone I knew very well. And.. Gotcha! I was right. Behind me was standing Alliando with a box which of course I knew what was in it, because I've been in times like this in the past, only with a different scenario.Previously, I was locked in this room by Senine and her two close friends. Right after Alliando came out. Of course before he left he looked at me with a look full of hatred, as if my presence made him very angry.At that time, I thought Alliando was angry because I disturbed his concentration while trying to find the missing basketball club sports equipment. However, after Alliando's death, I realized that the reason for his hateful gaze at me was purely because of his hatred, without even needing me to do anything."Ah, sorry, it looks like someone accidentally locked the door from the outside..."Alliando walked right past me, banging on the door with furr
“Please stop bothering me and Shasha!”I saw tears running down my mother's cheeks. Her beautiful face is really pitiful, even she started to prostrate, repeatedly hitting her forehead on the ground“I beg you Pa, don't separate me and Shasha, Pa. I promise to give my best for Shasha even if I have to sacrifice my life!”I squeezed the strap of the bag I was holding. After hearing mommy say the word 'Pa', I came to know who the man standing in front of mommy was.That man was my father's father. A firm man who is willing to kick his son out for choosing to marry a girl from the 'ordinary' circle. I had never met my grandfather before until the day my mother died. He came to my mom's funeral, offering me the chance to come with him. Of course I immediately refused because I felt I didn't know him.My face instantly hardened when I saw my mother's forehead began to bleed. I
"Isn't that the nerd girl from class 2?""What? That coward? Oh!”"Oh my god, no way!""Is she possessed by a demon?""She's been behaving strangely since yesterday."I could hear the whispers of the students every time I took a step. But of course I don't care. Instead of lowering my head as usual, I straightened myself up, walking with my eyes looking straight ahead, instead of staring at the ground.Even Joana who was talking to Lily immediately looked at me with a surprised look."Huh? Is this ugly girl trying to change?”I restrained myself from rolling my eyes. Even this early in the morning they have disturbed my peace. Lily and Joana chuckled, walking around meand start touching my shoulder-length hair.Yes, after last night
December, when it rained heavily from the sky, I was forced to go to the funeral of the person I hated the most, the one who made my school life a living hell. I saw a lot of people crying at his funeral, as if they had lost a very good person. At that time I didn't understand why people liked him so much, because to me, he was nothing more than a demon in human form. Ah, I forgot a simple fact, which was that I was the only one he treated badly. Then, in that blue December, I finally learned a surprising secret, that man actually in love with me. He made me the heir to his wealth as well as various mysteries that he wrote in his diary. He didn't give much hint in the book, only about his life, his feelings, and why he committed all these crimes to me. In my desperation, I begged God to let me see him again to ask what he really meant. And God granted my request. And here I am, standing looking at him who was focused on finishing the baby bed he had made since a month ago I laughed a
Am I dead?As soon as I opened my eyes, I was already in a white room that I had never seen before. I've even tried walking to find out where I really am, but no matter how far I walk, I still don't find anything. As if this room is an endless room. Well, maybe I am indeed dead and am waiting for the angel of death to lead me to the afterlife. Being too tired to walk, I finally decided to sit on the floor which was also white. Trying to think about a lot of things that happened before I opened my eyes in this place. I remember that before losing consciousness, I was hit by uncle Sam's knife stab at some point. Suddenly a sense of sadness gripped my heart as I remembered Alliando expression I had seen before my eyes were completely closed. Ah, those somber looks and tears were probably one of the reasons why I suddenly felt indecisive about continuing to walk towards the realm of death."Hi, we meet again huh?"I gasped in shock when I saw the face of someone I ha
I opened my eyes in this dark room again, but of course without Uncle Sam or Roni. Looks like they're off somewhere to clear things up. My body immediately shivered when I remembered what Uncle Sam said before I completely lost my consciousness. Is it true that he killed Alex and uncle Shancez? Uurgh, I can't believe it! There's no way that Alex, who is so sharp and meticulous, can be defeated so easily! I'm sure uncle must be lying, he must be lying!I have to quickly escape from this place to confirm what really happened! I tried to remember how the condition of this room when the lights were turned on earlier. Trying to find something I can use to escape.Ah! I remember! Right in the corner to my right, I saw a pile of iron, maybe I could find an iron sharp enough to untie the knots in my hands and feet. I painstakingly dragged my body towards that place, as carefully as I could feel the pile of iron to find something I could use to untie my hands.Gotcha! I almost screamed when my
The night before..I stared at the building in front of me excitedly, imagining that the day of my victory had arrived. After today, all I have to do is make sure that Uncle Sam really rots in prison. After today, I can visit my mother's grave with my head held high, telling her that I took care of someone who harmed her. Besides that.. I can also freely meet Alliando again.With a faint smile I stepped inside, took the elevator up to the floor Fernando told me about.“Welcome, miss!”The friendly voice of a middle-aged man greeted me as soon as I entered. He walked up to me and started shaking my hand,“I am really happy to have met Elena's daughter. Ah, I'm sorry, but let me express my condolences for Elena's death. I'm sure She's smiling in heaven right now watching you."My brows furrowed as I listened to the middle-aged man say my mother's name as if he knew her very well. I tried to remember if his face was among the few people my mother had friends or acquaintances with. But un
I can't help but laugh when I read the big headline in the newspaper I'm reading'The collapse of Sam Lee dynasty'As for the content of the news, it's almost the same as what I've heard before. That is about Sam Lee who is currently on the verge of bankruptcy, even business observers feel pessimistic that he can rise and improve his image again."Taste the bitterness, uncle .."I muttered as I turned to the next page. This time a slight smile formed on my lips when I saw Alliando's face who was standing quietly. There was written an article with the title 'Sunrise CEO public debut, rookie monster in the business world'. Almost all of them are filled with praise about Alliando's ability to build his company. And of course, there's been a bit of discussion about his personal life.Actually, the discussion of Alliando's personal life in official newspapers like this is not at all interesting. It was the gossip magazine which I read yesterday that won. They explained in detail about the
You destroyed me, so there's nothing wrong with me destroying you back, right?Believe me! I really want to crush your life into crumbs, but it seems that God created my heart too meticulously, until he put too much 'compassionate' side instead of 'cruel side'. If only the second part was more than the first, maybe I wouldn't stop until uncle was actually lying in his tomb! Separating his body parts one by one to give the best torture.I put my bag before finally throwing myself onto the bed. Actually, I could feel that my cellphone was vibrating continuously, indicating that there were a lot of notifications going in there. But I decided to ignore everything. Right now I want to enjoy my rest time. After all, my heart was quite happy after seeing Uncle's shocked face when he found out that his company is now just an empty shell with no contents.Ever since uncle handed over the position of company leader to me, I have carefully managed my steps. Especially after I found out the fact
"Good morning Miss"I nodded my head towards Alex who was wearing black suit, same as me. As a sign that we are still in mourning after grandfather's death. Even though it has been 10 days since his passing. Tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear, I took out the document he handed me. The document contains an investigation about the death of grandfather as well as an investigation about the death of someone I hate the most, Aunt Donna.Actually, on the night of grandfather's death, there was one more big news that shocked the world, namely the death of Aunt Donna. She was found dead after previously slashing her wrist with a small knife whic she got from nowhere. So far, the police have concluded that her death was a suicide, considering that there was no damage to the cell where she was being held.That night I was too shocked because of Grandpa's departure, so I didn't really care about anything else. That day I was too busy to fix my broken heart because again, I was left alone
Rain..I don't know why it always rains whenever something sad happens to me. Be it in my previous life or my current life. I don't know the reason, but maybe it was raining to wash away my sadness, or just to add to the coldness of my already cold heart."Please accept my condolences, miss"I just nodded my head to anyone who came to say a mournful sentence. The energy I had was too little to simply reply to their words. Luckily Alex who was standing next to me wasn't in the usual 'silent' mode. Right now he is the one who saves me and replaces me to greet the mourners or just chat with them.My eyes looked at grandpa who was now lying in the coffin with a calm face. It felt like he was just sleeping and I could wake him up anytime. But, no matter how many times I scream or beg for him to open his eyes, he still ignores my request.Grandpa should be waiting for me..Grandpa should have waited for me to finish my mission a little longer so we could make up for the time wasted during m
Moments before..I feel more tired than the previous days. Facing different kinds of people in one day. Starting from the shareholders, the board of directors to Uncle Sam. And there is one more person who drains my energy, namely Hans. Earlier he had visited my company, and that was after I forced him to come. I wanted to make a plan with him so he could take back the part of Alliando's father's company that was taken by Uncle Sam. I thought he would at least agree with my idea, but who would have thought he would refuse. He said he didn't want Alliando to be involved in anything related to me or Uncle Sam anymore. “I'm quite happy with his memory loss. At least he doesn't have to remember the sad memories anymore-"He said to me."Besides, we are more than capable of building our company again. You see how big we are, right?"Even though he spoke with indifferent voice and expression, but I could see there was a look of care in his eyes. And seeing that, I finally gave up trying to
