Penthouse City M
Alrescha's Room
[I'm not doing anything. How about you?]
Alrescha walked to open the balcony door of his room. Really, he was very grateful because his feeling was right, guessing if he would get pleasure when he returned to the room.
Luckily the call didn't end with the ringing tone, otherwise he would have ignored his cell phone lying on the bed and lost the chance to talk like this.
"I'm looking at the night sky. Try it, you also see, the sky is beautiful," replied Alrescha while tilting his face up there.
[Hoo…, really? Then I'll come take a look, wait a minute!]
From here, Alrescha could hear footsteps and the door as well as the door being shifted, before finally the sound of the wind rustling.
[You're right, Al. It's so beautiful.]
Ah!
Instantly his smile grew, Alrescha looked at the sky there imagining the face of the girl in the connection was there, also showing a smile for her.
"That's right. What did I say? Ah! Did I bother you?" asked Alrescha in an unpleasant tone.
The sound of chuckles filled his senses of hearing, his cheeks immediately blushed with a fluttering heart imagining that a face with laughter was in front of him right now.
[No, of course it doesn't bother me.]
"Thank God..." Alrescha sighed quietly. "So, what are you doing?" he continued asking.
[I'm looking at the sky.]
"Jesus Gretta ..., I'm serious," said Alrescha exasperated and laughter sounded melodious after that.
[Ha-ha-ha... can you sulk too?]
Alrescha blushed again, he talked a lot with Gretta. He also asked a lot of things so that it didn't feel like the time was getting late and the two of them finished with a smile on their lips.
[Alright Al. See you later.]
"See you later, Gretta."
Tut!
The call ended, Alrescha looked at the night sky there with a shake of his head and he almost smiled back, if only he didn't hear the sound of humming and whistling teasing his brother.
"Ehemm…. So, who is Gretta?"
Thump!
"Elf!"
Alrescha immediately turned and looked at his brother in shock. But soon, he changed his face again to normal and tried not to show a meaningful expression.
"So, can you tell me who Gretta is? It seems so special that it makes you crowded like that," teased the older brother with a smile and his eyebrows moved up and down seductively.
"What the heck, it's not funny, Elf. It's ah! I want to rest," said Alrescha without answering, he passed his brother and stood between the entrance. "Why come like a ghost anyways, I don't feel the air of its existence," he continued sarcastically, before finally getting it right -really entered his room again.
The older brother laughed, he followed in his younger brother's footsteps and went in and then stood in front of the younger brother, who was now pretentiously busy lying down looking for a position.
"Who looks like a ghost? You're the only one who's too focused on your connection. You didn't even hear your Brother calling," said the older brother who didn't accept it.
It's good that ghosts, handsome like this, are equated with invisible creatures. It's true that he's single, but he's a handsome single, cough.
"O..."
The older brother snorted at his brother's very flat and curt response. He walked over and sat next to his brother who was on his stomach, then lay down there too.
"Tsk, don't disturb, sleep in your own room there," Alrescha snarled as he pushed his brother's body until he almost fell.
"Oh my gosh, Al! That's really bad," his brother murmured, but after that he still laughed, because he felt that his younger brother was not as cold as usual.
"Tsk, noisy! Already go away," said Alrescha more cruelly.
The older brother relented and returned to standing here on the bed still chuckling. He looked at his brother with an unreadable gaze then shook his head slightly.
"Okay, I go. But tomorrow, don't forget to go straight to the office, okay?" he warned.
Alrescha just mumbled with his face sunk into his goose feather pillow, then lifted his head again when he heard a knock on the door and made sure his brother left his room.
Blame!
His body rolled over and lay on his back staring at the ceiling. He brought an arm to his forehead and then smiled a little again.
"Gretta..."
***
Grinson Mansion
The connection with Alrescha had just ended, Gretta, who felt better again, could smile even though it was thin.
She looked up at the sky for a moment, then walked back into her room. She also lay down on the king size bed and hugged the bolster pillow that always accompanied her.
"At least the night before I close my eyes there's someone who makes me smile," she whispered and then closed her eyes.
God, will one day I will find someone who can make me smile like this?
Skip
To the next day…
Morning came quickly, with the bright sunlight hitting the face of the beautiful girl on her bed.
Crack!
"Miss Gretta. Wake up Miss, it's noon!"
The soft voice of a woman calling the lady's name, slowly opened her eyelids and revealed a blue as beautiful as the ocean.
The eyelids blinked a few times, before finally awakening and the owner of the eye itself carrying her body against her back.
"Nanny..." she mumbled hoarsely.
Her hand rubbed her eyelids slowly and then focused on seeing the nanny who was now busy tying the curtains in her room.
"Yes, Miss? It's this afternoon, what time do you sleep? How can you look so tired," said nanny Anna worriedly.
The lady who was asked could only shake her head, there was no way she could say if her tired face was because of her grandmother with arbitrary orders or tell that she slept late last night because of chatting with strangers.
"No Nanny. Sleep as usual," Gretta replied lying.
She lowered her legs and stood stretching, then walked towards the bathroom leaving Anna who finally nodded, understanding.
"Okay. Nanny will prepare breakfast. Then Madam and Mother have gone to the office," Anna informed her.
"I understand," Gretta said curtly and closed the door afterwards.
A few moments later…
About an hour later, Gretta was now ready with her knee-length overalls and white sneakers. She descended the stairs and into the dining room to have breakfast together.
Gretta also sat as usual in her usual chair. However, for some reason the atmosphere today felt different. She felt like she would miss all of this and also nanny Anna who prepared her to eat like this.
"Miss, it's the usual bread. Don't forget to drink the apple juice too," said Anna while placing a glass of juice on the left side of the lady.
"Emh..., thank you, Nanny," Gretta said, thanking her with a big smile and this made Anna who saw her speechless, stunned. "Err…, why Nanny?" continued Gretta asked, confused, when the nanny just silent beside her.
Anna gasped a little and shook her head. "No Miss, (How long I haven't seen that smile)" Anna replied and continued silently.
"Oh, okay," Gretta mumbled and then started eating breakfast with a strange feeling.
What's really wrong with me?
Gretta finished her meal and then stood up, slinging her bag over her shoulder. She also turned to all the waiters who were there and thanked her again and put on a smile, a smile that had rarely been seen by people.
"Gretta is leaving. Thank you everyone! I love you all."
Huh?
