(Not) Mistake
Chapter 16: Acting Normal

“Perfect!” exclaimed Olvee while releasing the brush and palette he had been holding since.

Olvee stood up from his seat and removed the already dirty apron filled with the paint. Look proudly at his work. After which stretched his extremely achy waist while pulling his hand upwards.

“That's legal, but it's finally done with satisfaction!” said Olvee while continuing to stretch his achy body due to sitting too long.

Olvee took her phone to check the time. Walk towards the gallon of water to grab a drink. Sipping the water, he looked through his chat application filled with colleagues and buyers. He didn't open any chat from anyone.

“Tok Tok!” The sound of someone knocking at the door made Olvee shift his attention.

“Hey, already home?” sapa Olvee looked at Alvaro with a smile on her lips, she put down her phone, and walked towards him.

“It's not usually you go home fast?” ask Olvee later.

“ Guess why I came home early today?” Alvaro asked back while hugging Olvee's waist eroding the distance between them.

“Don't tell me you're using silly excuses again to see me?” Olvee's eyeballs were spinning lazily.

“Did I miss you it was silly?” Alvaro smashed his lips.

Olvee who was originally snorting annoyed, remained unruffled to return Alvaro's embrace, drowning his smile-drenched face. His cheeks quickly flushed even to the ears. His heart should not be asked, because since Alvaro's arrival, he's been insecure. However, that discomfort made Olvee happy and enjoying this time.

“Vee, are you hungry?” asked Alvaro who was still at home hugging Olvee.

“Slightly, I've been here all day working on my painting. Should we go out and forage while breathing fresh air?” Olvee took off their embrace and looked at Alvaro.

Alvaro shook his head. “We only eat at home with your cooking. We're going on a date on Sunday, how?” tanya Alvaro proposes another idea after disapproving of Olvee's idea.

“I agree to go Sunday, but eat at home, there's Mama.” Olvee said the reason in a slightly frightened tone.

“Why if there is Mama?” Olvee doesn't think Alvaro doesn't really know why he's afraid.

To be honest, Olvee does not trust Alvaro too much. He was afraid that Alvaro would exceed the limit even though there were their parents and showed openly their relationship. Then the situation will be very runnyam.

“Promise if we will behave normally in front of Mama and Papa as usual. Not showing our relationship,” said Olvee stretched out his little finger to ask Alvaro to promise.

“All right,” replied Alvaro reply to the pinky finger.

‘Of course I won't act stupid.’ Alvaro said inwardly as he promised Olvee.

“But Papa hasn't come home yet with Mama who isn't around,” continued Alvaro with his grin, trying to tease Olvee.

“There's Bi Minah!” exclaimed Olvee who again hit Alvaro's head while waltzing out.

Olvee felt a bit of anxiety now just in case the child would over-act. In fact, Olvee did not know if Alvaro said he would take care of everything, then he had planned something.

“Do not think strangely though they do not exist!” olvee said from inside her room.

Alvaro walked after Olvee who was about to descend the stairs. Her lips continued to develop a smile from earlier while watching Olvee from behind.

‘She is so sweet,’ says Alvaro inwardly.

Olvee arrived at the first floor of his house which indeed felt more lonely than usual. It's true what Alvaro said that their mother hasn't been home since last afternoon. His steps led Olvee into the kitchen and began preparing food for himself and Alvaro who had been working hard all day. When he reached the kitchen, he did not see the whereabouts of his only maid.

Olvee's hand opened the refrigerator and looked through its contents to choose what foods he should cook. After making his choice, he took out all the necessary materials and began to execute them. Before that he used a cooking apron that his mother used to wear.

Olvee began to struggle with the vegetables in her hands. Then light the stove to ripen the cooking. In the midst of his concentration, he felt the hands of someone hugging his waist from behind. Within this close range, he could feel Alvaro's breath hitting his neck making him tickle.

“What did you just promise, Alvaro?” asked Olvee firmly do not want to fall asleep again on the appeal of Alvaro.

“Promise to be normal in front of Mama and Papa. But here, there is no them.” His voice went right into Olvee's ear.

“Bi Minah works for Mama, if she sees us like this then it will be bad.” Olvee tried to escape.

The wreck was concentrated in cooking. He wiped his hands before forcing him to turn to Alvaro. His hands were crossed in front of his chest to give them some distance.

“Are you not hungry? So, you better sit back and stop bothering me!” olvee began to get upset.

“I changed my mind, I want the menu to be you.” Olvee stopped Alvaro who was getting closer to his face with both hands.

See it? Since when did his sister come this late on him? Or is this indeed his original color that he has never known?

“But I'm hungry!” exciting Olvee fast.

“Good.” Alvaro's reply allowed Olvee to sigh in relief.

However, he had not yet turned around to continue his work, Alvaro more quickly kissed his lips. Both of Olvee's eyes widened in surprise, but again Alvaro who led the game made him slowly start to enjoy it. His eyes began to shrink and slowly closed. Alvaro's right hand crept towards his face and pressed down on Olvee's nape. While both hands Olvee in front of Alvaro's chest. Retaking his consciousness, Olvee tried to stop.

“A-alvaro,” call Olvee with difficulty while patting Alvaro's chest.

“Alvaro, stop! I heard the sound of someone opening the door!” exclaimed Olvee who finally managed to stop their activities with difficulty. Staring at Alvaro anxiously and breathing heavily.

“Who?” asked the same Alvaro gasping.

“I don't know, just stay away and be normal!” said Olvee who hurriedly rubbed his lips and turned back to his cooking that he had just remembered. Alvaro tidied himself up and immediately stepped onto the dining table.

Olvee gasped and immediately turned off the stove because he saw a pan that reflected a lot of smoke. It is certain that the vegetables included also cannot be saved.

“What's up?” Alvaro again approached Olvee and panicked after hearing Olvee's surprised voice.

“You what is this?” Flora's voice suddenly sounded as she walked into the kitchen that was already filled with smoke.

“Vee? Alvaro?” call Flora.

“I-iya, Ma?” Olvee moved away from the stove and immediately faced her mother.

“Turn off the stove fast!” flora's Command.

“Already, Ma,” replied Alvaro.

“What did you cook until it ended like that?” ask Flora to Olvee.

“Vee .. ” Olvee can't answer the truth.

“You two are in the kitchen, you must be busy fighting until you forget to cook something!” snapped Flora.

“If the house is a fire, how?!”
