Twins From Another World
Set-off

About a week I was confused by the strange attitude of my parents. I know they're weird, but the more strange it gets. I wonder why his face is always printed happy face? Every day, their cheerful faces haunt me.

Not that I meant I was bothered by their happy faces. It's just that happiness for no apparent reason makes my mind filled with big question marks.

I want to talk to them and ask them something. But there was no courage for me to do it. It was as if there was a barrier on my mind to ask them a few questions. It's just that I don't know why.

It has now entered its fourth week since their sudden attitude became strange. I also encouraged myself to ask them.

At that time, my father was at home. He accidentally did not go into the office to work. The reason for that was because my father wanted to relax all day during this weekend often overtime. No one would protest if my father didn't go to the office, why? Because my father is the owner and chairman of a big company in this city.

As usual, he always watched Hong Kong on the porch of the house while accompanied by a cup of tea and cigarettes. I slowly started to get closer to her, then sat down next to her.

"Hm, suspicious...." My father said while holding his chin with his right hand.

"What's suspicious?" I said a little panicked.

"Surely you approached me there was a certain intent, right?"

No wonder my father was so prejudiced by me. That was because it had become his habit to always get closer to them when they needed something. But not this time. I don't want anything at all. All I wanted at that time was to talk.

"No, I swear..."

"Correct? Sure you don't want to buy a new game DVD?" Said my father while sniffing.

"Did you want to buy it for me?"

"You won't buy it! Unless you get good grades on repeat."

"Hm, if you don't want to buy it, it doesn't matter. This month there are no new game updates."

"If not a game DVD, what do you want to buy?"

"I told you, Dad, I don't want to buy anything."

"lik! To the point only! You need something, right from dad? Better to be honest than hypocrites."

To be honest, my father's words just felt heart-piercing when they sounded. To the extent that my father thought of me?

"I'm not lying!" I miss saying the word in a high tone. His face changed instantly.

"What is your purpose in approaching Dad? Do you have a problem?"

"I just want to talk to Dad."

"....."

My father's face looked flat looking straight at me. He felt as if something was strange about me.

"Don't look at me like that! I'm so scared."

"Seriously you don't want me to buy you something?" Ask dad in a surprised tone. Hearing that sentence I instantly lost his intention to chat.

Anyone would be annoyed if his words were not taken seriously. But I must admit. I used to only talk to my parents when I wanted to. But this time it's not so. I seriously wanted to talk to them not because I asked for something.

I was upset and decided to leave the house. The point is to go play outside. Now I have passed through the gate and walked away from it.

I walked far without a clear direction. Just keep going according to the heart that whispers my mind. Then my footsteps stopped on a basketball court. This area is still a complex with where I live.

Then my attention was on the basketball players who were dribbling the ball. She is a classmate her name is Nina. Not only classmates, but also bench friends. I know for sure you wonder why I can one bench with the opposite sex? The answer is simple, because Nina is a new student at my school. Because in class, I was the only one who didn't have any friends, so Nina became my friend.

For a long time I was hypnotized by the girls' basketball game. Somehow my feet would not move and both my eyes were stiff looking straight at a ball they were playing.

Whether intentionally or not, the ball that was previously contested by two squads, now the ball has been thrown towards me. I have no talent in sports, especially basketball. So I had no initiative to catch the ball or avoid the ball. As a result I even look up at the direction of the ball that drove at me.

Duk...!!!

The ball hit my head, causing my body to collapse near the field. My head which was still dizzy at that time did not allow me to immediately get up on my feet. After a few seconds, 10 seconds then the dizziness disappears.

After my gaze returned to normal, then the face of Nina who looked at me with a faint smile. Instead of helping or apologizing for making you fall, he smiled to see him fall into the basketball.

"Nin, she's okay, right?" Said Nina's friend who started to approach me in panic.

"Let's just not dead yet." Reply Nina with ease.

Then I got up and said, "did you throw a ball at me?!" I said in an angry voice.

"So intentionally, why? Wanna mad? Please!"

"Damn you!"

Nina smiled at my face. At school and outside of school, he always likes to make you angry. I don't know what he has a problem with me. The feeling all this time I was just being indifferent to everyone, especially to Nina. Then what is the reason that makes Nina so fond of teasing me?

"I'm sorry we are. We didn't intentionally." Said one of Nina's friends.

"Some know there's a ball going to your head you're quiet. Though you had time to dodge or capture." Nina.

"Yes, too, why didn't you just catch or dodge?" Nina's friend was also confused.

Stupid at the time, I couldn't say anything. My voice was muted as if I was forbidden to speak. All I could do at that time was just shut up and listen to Nina's taunts.

"Fear of the ball? Meanin?"

"The league cannot exercise like football, basketball, volleyball, etc. That's why he can't catch a ball out of fear." Said Nina who seemed to be deliberately humiliating me.

"Who is afraid of the ball! I'm not afraid of anything!!" I finally got a sound again after Nina fished my emotions out.

"really? Then let's play basketball! Dare not?" Nina said with a defiant tone.

"Where can I fight women? It's clear who the winner is." I said the one trying to stay authoritative.

"So how do we know if you can play basketball or not if you don't show us your skills?" Said Nina's friend.

"Have you heard what he said? I-I-I can't play ball!" Nina.

"This is it. How do you try to drible the ball and then you put it in the basket! If you can play basketball, it should be easy." Said one of Nina's friends.

Damn it, I need to find an excuse so I can resist. It'll get caught right away if I try to play that ball.

Relax, there must be a way to avoid a situation like this. I don't have to do what they tell me. All you have to do is tell me the right reason to stay away from here.

I accidentally took my phone in my pants pocket. Then I pretended to be panicking because I got bad news from an SMS message.

"I'm sorry, I'm on some important business." I said to them. I ran as far away from there as possible.

I who rarely exercise was immediately tired after running fast. Though I only ran for 100 meters, but this tiredness is really bad.

Then I decided to pull over at a store and buy a flick of soft drinks there. I haven't had a chance to gulp down this bottle, I was suddenly startled by someone's presence.

"You again! Not satisfied with embarrassing me?" I said in an angry voice. And again Nina was just smiling as if she was excited to see me miserable.

"Hehe sorry. I was intentional." He said while scratching his head.

"What do you want?"

"Here you are, are you angry?"

"Wear everything! indeed from my expression it is unclear if I am angry?!"

"Well, I know if you're angry or not. You didn't say you were angry. Being a baperan guy anyway? That's just getting angry. You don't have any friends."

"Who said I don't have any friends?! I have friends. My friends in class don't mind being friends with me either."

"Well, you've become a real innocent guy. You can't tell which friends are sincere and which friends are not sincere? They want you to come close because you're a rich man. Surely you will often be asked for money for unclear reasons. They also often borrow money but are not returned."

This bitch knows where that is?! I have to admit it's true they want to be friends with me because I'm rich. And I also felt that they were just using me. I thought that by giving them money, they would be sincere friends with me. Uh but actually....

"Don't daydream!" Nina said as she nudged my eel. Then he sat down on the bench next to me. I also started to suspect. Maybe he'll try me again. I've been fooled a thousand times by his gestures.

"Don't embarrass me again! I'm not feeling good."

"Yes I know you're confused and agitated."

"Know where?"

"It's clearly on your face."

"Why are you still here?"

"Because I care about you."

I looked at his face with great suspicion. I thought he was planning something to embarrass me again.

"Please don't be suspicious! This time I'm being kind."

"It's precisely because you say that that that I get suspicious."

"We've known you for a long time, haven't we?"

"Hm... "

"So consider me your friend. We're my countrymen, but your attitude toward me is kind of unfriendly."

"I should have said so! That unfriendly thing is you! Where does a friend like to prank his own friend!?!?"

"Isn't it a bit of a prank on that friend that commonplace?"

"Lumrah palalu peang! Your body has passed!"

"Revelation...." Nina laughed even more.

It was very desirable for this hand to slap him, but if I did that, then it would be the same as making me even more humiliated. He would have complained to a classmate if I had slapped him. Thus I will be labeled as a cowardly man who is equally female.

I was confused what to do with him myself. If I am allowed to be oppressed, if I am afraid, then I am wrong. Is there any way he'll stop being nosy to me?
