The Story Of Rose Mouse
XI. START AGAIN?

Now that they were in the mall, Agnes looked around and she stood at the center of the clothes. From far away, Jojo is standing in front of a clothing store and a woman hugs him. His face looked happy when he met Jojo. The geeky man, according to Agnes, took out a passport from his jacket pocket and gave it to the woman. He hits Jojo in the head and Jun comes from the right.

His face was tense when he saw Jun and Johan. He grabbed Jojo by the hair and pointed his knife at his neck. Agnes opened the candy wrapper while looking at the scene in front of her. "Huh, basic. Young still playing with toy knives?"

"Hey, kid. For sweets," said Rendra. Agnes ignored him and walked over as the woman tried to escape. He dropped the woman with his foot and she fell.

"Akhs! All right, okay fine, I gave myself up," he said on his knees and raised both hands.

"Sir, he has surrendered himself. So my job is done" said Agnes, staring at Johan. Johan nodded and let Agnes go.

"Then take care of yourself. Especially you, even I suggest you don't have to come or you'll be lying in the hospital staring at your bedroom window."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Huh, just yesterday I came out and you went in a boarding house?"

The grown man before him only smiled at his nephew's words. He looked at the girl in front of him who was now wrapping his hands on his chest and giving him a watch.

"Uncle, this is for you. You've been like my father, even if it wasn't for you, how my friends' fate would have been. Uncle, that watch may look paltry in front of you. But that means to me, any time you spend this whole time, it won't be equivalent to that hour."

The man before him only smiled and accepted the watch given by his nephew. He took it and put it on his left hand.

"Time is not worth the wealth I have. But you're too precious, I've treated you like my daughters. After all, my brothers are losers without a grudge. Stop doing horrible things and enjoy your youth, son."

"Uncle, did that guy become your samsak?"

"Hm? Of course, you have to be a criminal first if you want to see," the man said with a chuckle. Agnes rolled her eyeballs and they continued the chatter.

Not feeling that the time was over, Agnes got up and smiled at her uncle. "Uncle, I'll go first. After this, I'll meet Grandpa. Take good care of yourself, and don't hit him" Agnes said.

"Grandfather, did grandfather really do this for uncle's sake?" ask Agnes. They are now in a cemetery. His grandfather placed flowers right above his parents' funeral and his future aunt.

"You must know that most young people die because they are bullied by their friends, get pressure from their families, and can't be asked for help. Grandpa sent you to do that with your uncle because of this."

Agnes stared at the name of the tombstone right beside her. A woman who is loved by a man but he cannot protect her. Anger, revenge mixed into one. Agnes placed the flower on the woman's tombstone and looked at her grandfather.

They stood up and walked away from the tomb. Flower petals were scattered, leaves falling as if saying farewell to anyone who left the cemetery.

"Grandfather, where's Sister Angel? I haven't seen him since yesterday."

"He's at school. Because you refused the task that grandfather gave you, so grandfather asked him to temporarily replace it. He's also an idiot."

"Owh's? Tumben once," said Agnes.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The smell of soil after rain makes opium for anyone. The cold began to cover the city, there were not a single star in the sky. Agnes sipped her tea, her whole body warmed up as she drank it.

"Sister, have you met Aaron?"

"Not yet, she won't know who I am, Re. But I'll meet later too. You're at school with her, right?" ask Agnes.

Rere nodded and he looked at Agnes. "Sister, I hate him so much. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't want to go to school there" he said, shaking his head to the sky.

Agnes looked at him and smiled softly. "That's exactly my plan, Re."
