14 Glass Bottle

Nearly 10 minutes passed, but Bill still could faintly hear a commotion inside the room. Bill sighed quietly because he didn't expect that Grandma would make acquaintance with someone that dangerous. Of course, the dangerous thing was only about his bold actions. Bill didn't think the person Grandma knew was a bad person.

While waiting for the adult resolve their matter, Bill didn't only standing on the same place instead he walked around the house. Anyway, Eddie already let him entered the house. So, Bill didn't think it was not appropriate to explore the house.

The insides of the house only consist of 3 rooms. The living room which had huge moon drawing on it, the Eddie room which had many papers scattered, and lastly the Kitchen which was shockingly empty.

Bill knew that a man tends to forget or lazy to cook. But this is the first time he saw an empty kitchen.

'What the heck he been eating these days?' Bill wondered.

Bill shook his head at the sight of the empty Kitchen. Bill is about to wander around again when the door of Eddie room opened. Grandma with her red eyes, walked out from the room, followed by the sight of helpless Eddie.

When Grandma caught the sight of Bill staring at her, the former immediately blushed in embarrassment and turned her head away as to hide her red eyes. Bill didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing the actions of embarrassed Grandma. She just looks like a teenager that has been caught crying over her lover.

Bill didn't dare to stare at Grandma any longer because a certain person already glared at him, making Bill shudder involuntarily. The situation turned awkward since no one seems to want to speak. Bill is currently lowering his head as to avoid particular person gaze, Grandma on her way wiping her remaining tears, While Eddie gaze kept shifted from Grandma to Bill.

After a seems an eternity, Grandma turned her head to Bill and opened her mouth. "Eddie already agreed to teach you, Bill."

Hearing that an uncontrollable joy surfaced on his face. "Really?" Bill turned his head to Eddie and bowed his back slightly. "Thank you teacher. This student will not disappoint you."

Eddie mouth twitched a little when Bill called him a teacher, but he didn't say anything.

Grandma Thia mouth curled upward slightly seeing Eddie keep silent and didn't retort when Bill called him a teacher.

"This fellow is quite arrogant and had so much pride in himself, so I hope you will not disappoint him, Bill." Grandma Thia reprimanded Bill

"Rest assured Grandma. I'll not disappoint both of you." Bill patted his chest.

"Good, good." Grandma Thia nodded in satisfaction on Bill respond.

Eddie, who silently watched their interaction, furrowed his eyebrows because of their closeness. He then speaks with a stern tone to Bill. "We will start the lesson the day after tomorrow because I have something important to do tomorrow."

Bill hearing that quickly heaved a sigh of relief. Bill already planned to head toward Mine tomorrow. So, when Bill heard the lesson start the day after tomorrow, the anxiousness within Bill immediately disappeared.

Eddie squinted his eyes at Bill. "You look quite relieved hearing that. You don't want to be taught by me?"

Bill quickly recovered from his thought and shook his head. "Nono, I just relieved because I don't expect the lesson will start quickly hehe." Eddie narrowed his eyes at Bill answer but didn't inquire any further.

Later on when Grandma noticed the kitchen was empty. She immediately went mad once again, making Bill scared and quickly fled from the kitchen. Soon, he heard Grandma nagged at Eddie.

While running, Bill didn't realize the direction he been running was into Eddie room. Bill was about to leave when his eyes landed on the transparent glass bottle which had a thick silvery-black liquid inside of it.

As if intoxicated, Bill slowly walked to where the glass bottle is. His legs moved without his control. Bill head feels muddled with many whispers but his leg didn't stop moving.

His legs movement finally stopped at the front of the glass bottle. Bill face which shown no expression slowly formed an uncontrollable joy. It as if Bill finally found water in the middle of the desert. His hand slowly extended against the glass bottle and with a sluggish movement his hand finally touched the glass bottle.
