Antagonist
Chapters 15. New Friends

...Your steps move with joy. Not graceful at all....

...There is nothing special about your appearance. But sometimes I think....

...Maybe with this I can trust. True love exists....

Alfred Russell.

"Woman huh?" Rachel thought for a moment."If you are old enough, there are good women but there are bad ones too. Basically just like men, there are good and there are bad."

"But he occupied mom's room, then kicked us out." Query stared at his only interlocutor.

"Look, I'm your mother's woman, too. Are we evil?" rachel asked, Query quickly shook her head.

"No Jajat. But..." Sentence Query interrupted.

"But what? Not evil, not evil! I'll come here again tomorrow." Rachel began to rise from the emergency stairs where she was sitting.

"To... why?" Query's question brought Rachel's steps to a halt.

"Because I want to be your friend. Remember that! Friends help other friends when they're in trouble." Word after sentence Rachel stunned herself.

"Tomorrow I'll bring you some food. But I couldn't go home until the afternoon like now. I have to work and accompany the young master..." The 8-year-old stepped away.

That's when Query clenched his hand. Her tears are flowing, good food? For a few months he had only eaten rice, salt, and soy sauce. Saving her adoptive mother's savings are not much. Waiting for her foster mother who knows when she can recover.

He ran as hard as he could, chasing his new friend. He just moved to school a few months ago. No one wants to talk to him.

Until just as Rachel was about to leave the apartment area, Query held her fingers."I want to drive you. We're friends, so we need to know where each other's houses are."

While elsewhere. Edward has come off his violin course schedule. His eyes stared at Rachel's empty room.

The 10-year-old ran, did Rachel leave? Got hit like an accident he was in on his way here? Frightened, right now Edward was completely terrified.

"Young master..." Said one of the servants.

"Is Rachel home yet?" she asked, hoping Rachel was in one corner of this house.

"Be.. hasn't." The waiter replied nervously.

The strings of the violin were held so tightly. Until the blood began to flow injuring his fingers. Murder of minors? A kidnapping? The accident? All the reasons that made Rachel leave him were reflected in her mind.

"Call my dad tell me Rachel's missing! Have the driver and waiter look for him in the area around. If you don't find it, you'll know the consequences." Sentence after sentence with a horrible tone from a 10 year old. Looking at it like without emotion.

Until the servant ran to do the order.

Bugs!

The waiter fell down, got back up and ran.

Edward was stunned in the living room. The boy wearing a white shirt in a black vest suit and trousers fell silent, not knowing what to do. Until the sound of the gate opening sounded.

Rachel's voice was heard. Runs quickly after dropping his violin. Until he met the boy again. Rachel just smiled at him.

"Sorry, I'm out of work." Say it as a leech whose life is financed.

Edward immediately hugged her, his face smiling, embracing Rachel in."It's okay." he said with a cheerful smile.

His eyes slightly glanced back, there was a boy probably the same age as Rachel. Looked at them from behind the gate. Edward looked at her a little, then smiled. He kept the anger in his own heart.

Meanwhile Query can only see from afar. Rachel goes into the house, with a boy from a wealthy family. Not only rich, but also beautiful, wearing classy clothes. A fella? Rachel was his first friend in this place.

Query stepped away, after which she had to take care of her mother.

"Why get hurt?" Rachel let out a rough sigh, treating the scratches on Edward's palm.

"I'm not playing carefully." The answer to him was full of smiles.

"Ekhm... Who was that Rachel?" ask Edward at last.

"Name Query, he's my classmate. Next time I'll introduce him to Edward. He's very smart." The answer from Rachel with a high level of imagination. Someday Query will be Edward's confidant in taking care of the company. The company will continue to grow, until it can remove Alfred Russel. That way love will bloom between Edward and Alira. He will be the luckiest figure.

Living happily as a doctor, just as in her previous life as Rania.

"Why are you smiling to yourself?" asked Edward to shake his forehead.

"Imagine two adults kissing." The romance novel enthusiast certainly imagined the ending he would create. Imagine the scene of Edward's kiss with Alira and the sweet children of two people's descendants later.

The cup!

One kiss landed on her cheek, Rachel rounded her eyes turning toward Edward."Don't fantasize about the no-no. Including imagining if you are going to get married or kiss like an adult. Because forever you will stay with me and be my servant."

His favorite antagonist is right! Like the previous life. Rania has never had a romantic relationship. This time he will never have a romantic relationship. His life as a leech at Edward's feet was good enough, staying focused on his career and education.

"Good! Will side with Edward forever." He said, feeling anxious. Peck Edward's cheek.

The boy was silent for a moment. His face slowly smiled. Convincing herself, what Rachel said was the truth.

Is this a romantic scene? No, remember! Don't imagine them adults. They are just little kids, connected by the word friendship.

This time, Flint had dinner with them. Something that had never happened before in Edward's life. Usually the father only stayed a day at home. The rest stayed at the hotel.

"It!" Flint put the slices of meat on Rachel and Edward's plate."You're two mice that usually just eat!"

"Master is like a cat who feeds on two mice." Joking with the flat face of Rachel.

While Edward thinned his lips to hold his laughter. His father won like a white cat, didn't he? If they both are rats.

Flint let out a rough sigh, for the first time seeing his son laughing. That means you can't give up on making Rachel his daughter, right? Edward would definitely feel better having a sister like Rachel.

"Rachel can call me dad? Sir's too awkward." Flint said with hope.

"Only calls, without adoption?" rachel asked, Flint quickly nodded.

"Good dad!" Rachel simply smiled, following the orders of the two people who financed her life.

*

Elsewhere, Query is enjoying dinner with her mother. This time it was rice and soy sauce.

"My mother has friends." Query Remark.

"The kid that was this afternoon? She's pretty sweet." The mother smiled a little, but only a little.

Depression that is too deep, sighing many times. His mother could not work and take care of him. But slowly his mother will improve.

"Mom likes your friend..."
