Chapter 26
26 Moving To Another City?
Leon
—–
“Huh, moved to another city?”
I said in surprise when I heard what Mr. Henderson said.
All right, I’ll tell you an hour before it happens.
(One Hour Before)
David and I sat on the terrace to wait for Mr. Henderson to arrive because David said that today his father would come to pick us both up.
Boredom has been haunting me since a few hours ago because it is now 4:00 pm, but David’s father hasn’t come to pick us up.
“Are you sure your father will come here to pick us up? Because I’m so tired of being in this Villa!” I said with an ugly face looking at David, sitting on my right.
.....
David looked at me with a faint smile, then shook his head, saying, “Don’t worry, I can already hear the sound of the jeep approaching this Villa!” He answered while crossing his arms in front of his chest.
“That’s the same answer you gave several times 3 hours ago!” I said, annoyed, while looking away from him.
Because David repeated the same answer every time, I asked him about his father coming to pick us up.
“But what I said this time meant it!” David answered as he stood up from his seat and pointed to the front.
Not long after, a black Jeep came from the direction of the forest.
I still put an ugly face on David because I get annoyed whenever he messes with the answers to the questions I ask him.
Mr. Henderson parked his Jeep right in front of this Villa; he got out of the car and smiled broadly, looking at me while waving his hand. Maybe to look friendly, so I waved his hand back.
“Sorry I came late because I have an urgent business!” He said with a smile, looking at David and me.
“It’s okay, we’re fine!” I replied with a smile that was not sincere but, in my heart, said otherwise.
“David, Have you prepared everything?” Mr. Henderson asked David.
“Of course, everything is already in the suitcase. Leon and I are ready to go there!” David answered with great pleasure.
I frowned when I saw the look on David’s face, which was so disgusting; even his acting in front of his father was much better than in front of me. What is this man thinking?
“Leon, Are you ready?”
I looked straight at Mr. Henderson and smiled widely at him, “Of course, I’m ready to go back home!” I replied, smiling broadly at him.
But suddenly, Mr. Henderson changed instantly when he heard my answer.
“David, Shouldn’t you tell him?” Mr. Henderson asked David.
I widened my eyes while raising my eyebrows, signaling David. Which says, “what do I don’t know?”
David smiled, shrugging his shoulders, “I haven’t told him yet, because I’m sure if I told him, he wouldn’t want to listen to me!” David replied as he walked and hid behind Mr. Henderson.
“Wait, what happened? Why? It seems you two know something, and I don’t know it at all!” I said flatly while looking at Mr. Henderson full of question marks.
“Alright, Leon, I’ll tell you something!” Mr. Henderson replied as he led me into the living room because I thought his explanation would be lengthy.
“So, short story, you must live with David and me in my new house in another city for your safety!”
I fell silent as soon as I heard what he just said as if my heart stopped beating when I heard what Mr. Henderson had just said.
How could he say it so easily? He said I should move in and live with him and David in a new house in another city. Without asking for my consent or the consent of my parents.
Have they both gone mad? Both of them have gone crazy. Father and son are the same!
“Wait, why is it so sudden like this? I haven’t told my family, and I’m sure my family won’t approve of what you just said because I’m sure that they won’t just let me go.”
“My family loves me so much, and I can’t go out with someone I just met; my parents wouldn’t allow that, right?” I asked while holding my breath, looking at Mr. Henderson, who only looked at me.
“Wait, don’t tell me my parents allowed me to move in with you two?” I asked worriedly for fear that the answer the two of them gave was the same.
Mr. Henderson and David nodded while looking at me with an innocent looks.
I Immediately sit on the sofa and lean my head looking up at the ceiling above me; I can’t believe the events are happening to me right now; it feels like everything just happened without my permission.
“Fuck!”
I said, ignoring the two of them who were currently looking at me with glaring gazes when I said those swear words.
After almost 2 hours, I thought about the decision I had to take, and I finally gave up. Henderson explained all about what happened to me. Even my parents knew about this.
“Alright, what can I do? I can only follow what you guys say right now!” I said in a weak tone, then slowly pulled my suitcase out of the living room.
The two of them immediately ran towards me and helped me to carry the suitcase, which I didn’t know who it belonged to.
“Let me carry it because the things in here are mine!” Said David while carrying the suitcase that I had just brought.
I didn’t express myself and got into the car as Mr. Henderson opened the door for me.
The three of us immediately came out of the dense forest we didn’t know because I didn’t know where it was.
Not long after, the Jeep we were traveling in had reached the highway leading to the city center.
I leaned my head against the car window while looking outside, letting whatever was happening now let it happen because I didn’t know what to do.
But before I had time to enjoy the view from the car window, suddenly, I saw several people running in the forest and looking at me with sharp gazes.
I can see them running in the forest while looking at me with sharp gazes, and not long after that, some of them immediately ran towards where I was.
The closer their sinister faces became visible, I distanced myself from the car window because some scary figures were rushing toward me.
“Watch out!”
BANG!
BRAK!
BUSHHHHH!
