2 chapter two

Fast forward the year, they're growing old already; Alex already at the age of 24, meanwhile Andre at 16. They finally able to move out from the temporary home in another town. They've been dealing with a lot problems involving with Andre, and that's really drives him mad.

Now, they moved to another side of the country they currently lived in. It's Hetroe. The new humble house they've rent sit beautifully in the middle of the gardener neighbors. Alex and Andre politely greet them as they were outside, gardening. They replied to the siblings greet with smile and continue to working first. They will greet them with a welcome meals later if they want.

They later on enter the house that they rent. The house just fine, but there are dusty of the furniture though it's covered by the curtains. Maybe the times made it happened that way, though other than that the house is in great condition.

"Put down your bag, we need to clean the house first since it's quite dusty." Alex commanded and begin doing what he has told Andre. It because the dust could bring problem to Alex since he has respiratory problem.

It took them literally hours before they could finally stop and rest. Alex shared that he is hungry after tidy up the house.

"How about we eat something from outside? We will go buy some groceries later at supermarket. How that sound?" Alex asked with happy tone and Andre just smiled. Andre held Alex's hand and looked into his eyes.

"Why?" Alex asked him. He knows what Andre's wondering. But he still wanting Andre to answer him so the communication between them both would exist, so he asked Andre to tell him what's inside his head. Andre frowned, then his hands moved to make the sign moves. He asked that if Alex is fine even after the session earlier.

"I'm your brother. Don't worry. Now let's go." He pulled Andre's hand and ready to enter the car. But before they could, a woman voice heard by them. They looked behind and found her voice coming from the neighbor house. Her age was at the rage of Alex and her dressing just tidy and beautiful. She's wearing a long sleeves blue shirt paired with loose pants. She wore a sandal and run to their way before they could drive away to somewhere she don't know. Her hair is blonde and tied behind as ponytail. Her face was set with natural makeup, and that's really showed her charm.

"Hey! Good evening, guys. Well, where are you heading to?" She asked politely, but she's out of breath while asking it.

"Well, good evening to you too. We want to go to any restaurant nearby. We would like to have dinner. Why, Ms..?" He answered her question and asked her. He looked concern over her. She doesn't need to run for them though, it's unnecessary. It took her a while to catch her breath and when she finally did, she started to talk again.

"Forgot to introduce myself, I'm Charly Justen, just call me Lily." She offered a hand to shake with both of them but only Alex accepted it. She just smiled though offended with it. He would tell her if they want regarding to Andre's act just now.

"Hi, Ms. Lily, I'm Alex Frendstar, and this is my brother, Andre." They just exchanged smiled as a change to the shake hands earlier. She doesn't mind, she's a open minded one. If he uncomfortable with her then she can't help. Now, back to the real deal.

"We would like to invite you for dinner at my home. Would you join us?" She asked. She looked at both of them as them both looked at each other with questions on their face.

"We?" He asked with dumbfounded face.

"My mother and I." She replied. Her reply still making him uncomfortable to accept the offer. He never got such an offer when he moved to new home before. That's also making him nervous to make decision. He thinking for few seconds.

"Well, if you don't want, I will..." She said, but Alex just cut her off.

"We doesn't say that though," Alex said. She just laughed to his act, thinking he's cute and kind of her style. Alex just getting second hand embarrassment with his act. This act could get him into a misunderstanding between a stranger.

"Then, would you come now or you will next time?" She asked them again and this time her eyes focused on Andre, who's now kind of attracted with her fondness between both of the siblings. He feels like they already know each other quite long since all of them could joke with each other now; well, that's what he understands with their actions just now.

"Sure, will do if you don't mind. But, firstly, may I know, are you alone or you have someone else at home?" He asked with innocent tone, he don't want to act as sinful guy at his first meet with her. Well, that's a gentleman.

"What are you thinking though! Of course I'm not alone! My mother is with me at home and she already cooked something special for you guys as a welcome treat. She's waiting for you both at home now, just needing you guys to come at our home and talk to her. She loves being friends with anyone as long as you are a friendly type." She explained with detailed information. She smiled to both of them again, and so does the guys. They don't want the awkward moments last longer, so they decided to answer.

"I would..." Alex's word stuck at his throat, another woman's voice been heard by the trio.

"Charly! Get them quick! The foods going cold if you delay it longer with your introduction talks!" She shouted from the house door and get inside again. The trio face at her then back to see each other again.

"Well, why won't you come? She must eager to meet both of you." She added again and walks away. The siblings just follow her into the house with the feeling of open arms from them.
