One day

Chapter 10

I'm Sen, one day I let someone in the house.

The pasta wasn't as good as I thought it would be, probably because I skipped a lot of steps. Well, there's something about it that's okay, so I'll try to eat finish it.

When it was time to clean the kitchen, I saw another problem, I cooked too many noodles today. Oh my god, if I leave it until tomorrow, it will spoil, but now I'm not in the mood to eat at all.

I looked at the pot of noodles in confusion, still unable to make a decision with it.

In the end, I didn't care about the pot of noodles anymore, choosing to take a bath after a long tiring day. The current weather in late autumn, the night is very cold, it is times like this that you know how happy a hot bath at home is.

As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom door I shivered, it was really too cold, if only I could get under the blanket to sleep. Each crime is still quite early now, I need to take the time to do a few errands.

I called my father, described a bit of my daily life, and said hello to my mother.

"You stay at home, remember to clean the house, soon a cousin will come and stay with us for a while." My mother said over the phone, her voice a little hesitant, maybe she was busy.

But cousin is my cousin? I have a lot of cousins, I can't guess who my mother is talking about, and moreover, none of my relatives are close that my parents welcome them to live with me.

I wanted to clarify my doubts, so I asked my mother: "Mom, who is that person?"

My mother stopped the work at hand and said clearly: "She's a distant relative, you have never met her."

It turns out that I don't know her, that's okay, I still have a room in my house that's still vacant, so I can let her stay temporarily. I took the time to go up and review that room, it was quite dusty and…

Extremely messy!

"Mom, my old room is so messy, how can she live in that room?"

My mother didn't expect me to go up to that room, funny said: "Who said she will stay in that room, she will stay with you."

What the hell… My private world is about to be destroyed, I have to live with other people.

"I don't want that," I say.

My father suddenly interjected and reprimanded me: “You shouldn't say that, we should be nice to your cousin, you should consider her a friend. Also, she's only been at our house for a few months, so don't leave a bad impression."

“Dad,” I sighed and said, “She wants to stay at our house as long as she wants, but she can't stay with me, if possible, I'm ready to clean her room right away.”

My mother said, "Don't be so stubborn, baby, she'll be scared to sleep alone in a strange place."

I understand, I would also be scared to sleep alone in a strange place, but her fear has nothing to do with me, I am not responsible for being friends with her. Now I really want to tell my parents, to tell the truth, that I am most afraid of losing my personal space.

I need to do a lot of personal things in a day, if she stays in my room, I can't concentrate on anything.

I immediately continued, "It's not my problem, please don't leave her in my room."

My father began to lose patience with me, “Who taught you to be so selfish? In a few days think carefully, we will talk about this later, and now it's too late, go on vacation." Then my dad hung up despite my protests.

My current mood is very sad because my parents don't listen to me. I went into the messy room in front of me, rolled up my sleeves, and cleaned up. I don't care, I don't like other people in my room so I will clean this room for her.

How much pent-up anger made me unable to control my actions, I began to throw things around, my mouth did not stop complaining.

Throwing a mess out, I started sweeping the room, then accidentally hit the broom handle against the wall, causing it to peel off in a large patch.

“Oh my god…” If my parents knew, I would have been scolded very badly.

I ran up to my room to take down the mural, hoping it would cover the peeling, but as a result, I didn't know how to hang it. So I thought of a risky solution, I would use nails to nail the wall to make a hanger.

My parents won't notice this picture because I'll say it's a normal decoration made by myself, that's my good intention.

I put a nail of sufficient length on the wall, hammering it down with a hammer. Unfortunately for me, that caused the flaking to spread further. I immediately stopped this action and put the tool away.

This room is admittedly very old, it needs to be completely renovated.

Thinking like that, I focused on cleaning up the dirty garbage, creating an airy space for me to observe more easily. It's just that I don't have the money to buy new furniture, and I can't bring the furniture in my room to this room, so turning it into a fully furnished room is impossible.

I'm tired go taking out the trash.

It seemed that all my fears disappeared as soon as I saw no one around, I once again climbed the wall to get out. This time climbing the wall was unassisted, and I also brought a very large garbage bag so it was extremely difficult, it wouldn't be strange if I flipped my neck down the road.

Knowing that falling is very painful, I tried to be as careful as possible, but I ended up getting stranded and slipped fell down. The wall is neither high nor low, but it's enough to keep me numb all day if I fall from the top, so I'd appreciate it if someone could help me.

I just didn't expect that person to be the same person who rang my doorbell just now.

"Sana, why are you here?" I exclaimed in shock, unable to believe what I was seeing.

Sana took off her hat, revealing her wavy curly hair.

"I didn't see you at the inn so I went to look for you, luckily you're home or I wouldn't know where to find you."

I was speechless, I just felt guilty for leaving her outside for so long. Sana at this time sneezes making me even more awkward, it's so cold at night she stays out for a long time, she can catch a cold.

"Ah- I'm sorry I left without informing you."

Sana didn't blame me either, asking: “Where are you going? And just now I heard a lot of loud noises, what happened in your house?”

“I'm going to take out the trash, and as for the noises…” I wondered if there were any words to describe what I had just done, but frankly, I wasn't very good at smashing.

“There was a mouse in my house just now, so I had to move my stuff out to chase it away.”

My lying ability is very bad, obviously, Sana wasn't deceived. She chimed in and said, “Oh… So is it gone yet? I mean the rat."

"Um, it's gone." The wind blew through this road, I felt cold, so I said, "Wait, I'll go take out the trash." After that, I quickly ran to the designated garbage disposal location, threw the garbage bag away, and quickly ran back to Sana.

Sana says, "If you're okay, I'll go home, goodbye."

Sana turned her back to walk, I looked at the road without any cars, guessing that she intends to walk this long road. What is she thinking, she'll get sick sooner or later.

“Sana, can you come over to my house to play?”

Sana smiled awkwardly, "Maybe your parents won't like me."

Referring to my parents, I feel resentful because of the phone conversation with them just now, so I didn't think twice, immediately said: "They are not at home, you can just enter the house. And even if they don't like you, I don't care, if I bring my friends into the house to play, they can't ban it."

If my parents voluntarily let other people come and share a room with me, I can also arbitrarily bring friends into the house.

"But…"

I continued to manipulate her, perhaps because I had been in contact with Sana for a while, I was infected with her way of talking.

"If you stay out on the street now you'll get sick, and if you stay, I'll be less afraid because being home alone is terrible," I said in a terrified tone: "Who knows what will happen next... Something shows up at midnight.”

Sana said: “You mean ghost? Rest assured, the spirits can't do anything to you."

Oh man, it's so hard to capture initiative in communication, I don't mean that.

"Okay, you can come to my house to play." I always decide on my own.

As for Sana, she rarely objected to my intentions, I discovered this a few days ago. As a result, of course, she accepted to come to my house to play. Too bad we both had to climb the wall again, can't believe the first time I welcomed my friends into my house was this way.

Then I heard someone's stomach growl, and I immediately covered my stomach in shame. That's not it, I've obviously had dinner, and I don't feel hungry at all.

Suddenly I realized that the hungry one was Sana. Also true, she must have been looking for me for a long time, so no time to eat.

So I excitedly asked her: "I made spaghetti today, do you want to eat that?" Seems to have formed a habit, I just asked her yes, but I will decide on my own.

“Wait a minute, let me warm it up.” I went to the kitchen and reheated the pot of noodles, in a very happy mood when someone helped me eat.

I put the food on the plate, decorate it to make it look as good as possible. Fortunately, the vegetables from earlier were still fresh so I didn't have to pick them again. Then I brought it out for Sana to eat, when seeing her eat two pieces I asked, "Is it delicious?"

Indeed, it's not to my taste today, but maybe she felt it delicious?
