Chapter 43

TVS 14: Away
F I R E
I woke up when the conductor announced that we were close to the airport so I secured my belongings. When I was sure that everything was fine, I suddenly thought of my only friend because I couldn't even say goodbye to him properly.
Sorry Xavierre.
After our fight with Diana, I lost track of what I would have done to say goodbye to Xavierre. I was stressed thinking of the reason why he suddenly apologized to me.
After several hours of waiting at the airport and a few hours more in the airplane, I finally arrived here at Aunt Melly's house. His secretary picked me up.
"Ma'am Fire, here we are."
"Don't call me Ma'am anymore, it's weird. Just fire, I'm more comfortable there."
"Okay all right, Fire." This is our secretary, that's nice. He seems to be in his mid 20's like me. Or maybe we're really the same age?
I got out of the car and stared at the house in front of me.
This 3-storey mansion in front of me is obviously hers because it's violet. Did I mention to you that violet lovers, is wrong. Let me rephrase it, Aunt Melly is obsessed with violet as in literally, that's how I was described when I was little.
It's just that the whole part of her body needs to be turned violet, well that's what I know, maybe that hasn't changed after 17 years because her mansion is still violet.
I even remember once he visited the place where we live in the province, violet all over him, from head to toe. So weird diba.
What can Auntie look like now? I was young when I last saw her and that was really really long ago. Maybe he's wrinkled now haha.
"Let's go inside?" Secretary May asked me. Yes, he has a name.
I nodded then followed him into the gate. Ms. rang the doorbell. Secretary at the massive main door.
It immediately opened and a smiling beautiful woman appeared in front of me.
Yep, it's Aunt Melly. I'm wondering why we haven't met in 17 years, does he still look like that? In fact, Auntie is rich, she can afford to raise children with only money. She still preserved her beauty even though she was in her 50's. Aunt Melly looks like she's in her late 20's to mid 30's.
"Oh! Fire! Is that you? You're so big, when I last saw you until you were just waist, now you're even taller than me! And you're so beautiful! You inherit from Auntie!" She exclaimed once laughing quite loudly.
"Aunt Melly! You haven't even changed your appearance." I also greet him, it's true that his face really hasn't changed.
"Please come in, we have a lot to talk about. Wait, Brent. Take Fire's things to his room." He called there like his bodyguard.
Following us to enter Ms. Secretary. I immediately opened my eyes to look at Aunt Melly's mansion.
Upon entering the main door, you will immediately notice the small fountain in the middle of the two marble staircases.
Above the foutain, the glittering light of a large chandelier attached to the very high ceiling of the mansion can be seen.
Supposedly, the fountain and the chandelier are the most central of attraction throughout the mansion.
"Dear Fire, I know you are tired because of the long trip. You should rest first, Ms. May, please stay with Fire in her room. And Fire, we will talk a lot tomorrow so you have to ready yourself, and get a well rest. I'll just send you dinner later, okay? "
"Yes Auntie. Thank you po, have a good night." I smiled in response to him.
"This way, Fire." Ms. immediately turned to me. Something after Auntie left.
I nodded again, and he followed.
Take the car on the left staircase I said earlier. A very long hallway with so many doors opened up to me, I look like I'm going to get lost here.
But it doesn't seem to be either because there are signs posted what those rooms are. There is an Entertainment Room, Cinema, Music Room, Dance Studio, and much more.
We reached the far end of the hallway where my room was located. Obviously, this is my room because my name is on it.
At the other end of the hallway is another bedroom. Never mind, my room and that one are opposite each other. It was as if it was pulling me to the door.
"Fire, this will be your room. Call me if you need anything, there's a buzzer inside connected to my room. Just press it when you need anything." Ms. Bilin sakin. May.
"Okay Ms. May."
"And please Fire, we're just the same age haha, so let's drop the formalities." I was surprised by what he said, are we the same age?
"Okay, can I call you May instead?"
"That would be really cool. Have a good night." He said then signaled that he was going to his room.
It's embarrassing because we're the same age, it's a good thing I didn't call her sister earlier on our trip here.
I looked again at the opposite room, I approached it to find out what that one was for.
V's Room
Hmmmm ... Who is V? Did Aunt Melly have a child?
Let it be, I don't want to interfere.
I went back and entered the room. I quickly arranged the equipment, and showered afterwards. When I glanced outside my room's window, it's already dark.
I looked at the wall clock not far from me, and saw that it was about seven o'clock in the evening. While drying my hair with a towel, there was a knock on the door so I opened it.
A maid came up with my dinner, "I'm sorry Ate, I should just go down for dinner." What is that, embarrassing.
"Ah it's not there Ma'am, Madame M also ordered you to bring something to eat here." I took the tray he was carrying, and laid it on a nearby table.
"Thank you Ate, then please don't call me Ma'am anymore, I'm not used to it." I said at the same time I smiled sweetly at him, he nodded before telling me to press another buzzer if I needed anything.
After dinner I lowered the tray in the kitchen, the housemates were very sorry for me because they said they should have taken it from me.
I also always said that I was fine because I used to serve myself. After that, I went upstairs again, I hadn't seen Aunt Melly that night, so I decided to just go to sleep.
