"So, still going to your house?"

"Yeah but let's just continue tomorrow."

Micheal was sitting gloomily beside me, laying his head on my shoulder as though he's dead. I pitied him a bit when I saw him.

"See you tomorrow."

As we've arrived back at my house, I tapped on his back twice, hoping that he recovers from his current state and then got out of the car.

Arriving home, it felt great as I'm free from Yulia's big sister but then realized that I need to spend my time either watching Chinese Drama with Mervin and Father or go to sleep early.

If only there's a good movie to watch...

Sigh*

I'll sit for a while and go to bed.

[James' POV]

In the middle of nowhere, around Pelawan Beach, I bought a house there.

I thought that, if I bought a house near the beach, it would've been very nice.

But then I regretted it. The beach was dirty and there's nothing to see there. Most are kids, there's barely a hot chick.

Even though there was, she won't wear her swimsuits. Most of the people that came here wear casual clothes.

I don't understand the people here, I really don't.

And more importantly, I'm stuck here.

I forgot that I don't have a vehicle and I'm currently far away from Balai City. I can't walk back to Balai, what about this house?

What I struggled with when I was living here was finding food. The food in this area is scarce.

At first, yes they're delicious and then morning, afternoon, night the same place, same menu, same types of dishes, I'm dying right now.

I emailed LEE123, I want him to get me a car but there's no response from him. I can't talk to the locals too, I don't understand their language.

I can only wait until he read my letter and helped me.

-----

In the morning at 5 A.M, three of us as a family, we're jogging together again. It has suddenly become a part of our daily routine every morning, during holidays.

As usual, after we went jogging, we ate and then sat at home but as for me, I'm about to go out with Micheal again.

I sat at the chair of the counter, waiting for Micheal and suddenly thought of James, I wonder how he's doing, he should be getting used to staying at Indonesia already.

Ding-Dong*

'Oh, Micheal has arrived.'

"Let's go! To my house!"

"We should go and fetch Yulia too."

"...You go and call her, I'll stay in the car."

"Haha, you're still not over it?"

Driving to Yulia's house, I then went out by myself to call Yulia as planned, ringing the doorbell three times and then wait at the gate.

After a while, the person that came and open the gate was Yulia's Big sister again but unlike polite attire which she wore yesterday, she's currently wearing a sleeveless top and shorts, revealing her fair skin and slim waist. Her hair was messy too.

Maybe, She didn't expect that we would come or did we come too early?

"Hm?"

"Sister."

"Call me Yuna, Sister Yuna, don't just Sister, it feels weird. Andy was it? What brings you here again?"

Yawn*

Now that I look closely, Sister Yuna was wearing a tired expression and hearing her yawning, Yep, we definitely came too early.

"Um, we're planning to invite Yulia over to come with us."

"Then, come inside and sit first, I'll go and call her. By the way, where's the other rude one?"

"He's outside, waitting inside the car."

"Humph, serve him right."

Waiting for Yulia, I found myself sitting at this house's living room again.

As time passed, there's still no one coming whatsoever. Should I go and check?

Shaking my head I decided to drop the thought of barging into someone's room, it's quite rude of us already to enter someone's house without notifying them beforehand. Well, we forgot to tell Yulia at what time we'll come and pick her up

Since it's our fault I should wait here patiently, besides, women or girls need time to prepare themselves.

...

...

Creaks*

Yulia finally came out of her bedroom, after an hour of waiting in the living room.

Seeing the jeans and casual red shirt she's wearing, I was surprised as I didn't anticipate that Yulia would be wearing this kind of clothes.

I mean, yesterday she wore a pink dress, that has a flower pattern on it, they're certainly girly. So, why would she wear that today?

"Come on! You should wear this dress."

"No! I'm fine with this."

Sister Yuna was holding a red Chinese qipao on her hand, judging from this sight, Yulia wasn't willing to wear that.

As Yulia was avoiding Sister Yuna, she took a glance at me, it felt very sharp but then after a while, she went downstairs without saying anything.

"Oh, there she goes."

"Well, I don't blame you but yesterday you should've complimented her or look at her more."

"Huh?"

"I forced her to wear that cute dress yesterday but you didn't say anything. Haiya~ Boys."

"Just go, not like you'll understand maiden's heart at this age."

Big Sister pushed me downstairs, asking me to leave.

"Also, don't forget to lock the door."

She notified me and then went back into her bedroom to sleep.

Walking down slowly, I was still confused with what just happened.

What Sister Yuna said was absolutely correct, I didn't even date a girl before even though I'm already over seventy years old inside if my age were to add the young me, it'll be over eighty.

Anyway, I didn't think too much about it, not like I'll understand anything either if I were thought too much about it.

As I got outside, I didn't forget to lock the gate.

It was a bit hard for others but not for me. The store gate was heavy and hard to move, which require an a.d.u.l.t strength to close it.

Thankfully, I'm barely strong enough to close the gate, or it'll be embarrassing to call someone over to close the gate.

Returning to the car, Inside, I found that Micheal suddenly was at the front seat, while Yulia was sitting at the back.

I don't know why but I just went with the flow.

The atmosphere inside the car was quiet, Micheal for some reason didn't talk too. I wanted to say something I didn't know what to say.

In the end, the car was quiet the whole time, until we reached Micheal's home.

No, I wouldn't call it home, this should be a mansion. There's a giant garden, fountain, the large backyard, giant main building, a butler that was standing outside, this shows it all.

As I expected, Micheal's family was wealthy. Probably the most wealthy in Balai.

Stopping in front of the giant building, Micheal awkwardly scratched his head.

"Um, welcome?"

Yulia was very impressed, her eyes never stop looking around. It's normal since she never saw such a large building and a beautiful garden before.

As for me, I was the same as usual.

"Why are you like that? Just now you're quiet too what happened?"

Seeing that, Andy didn't ask about the extravagant garden and building, he was surprised but then he returned to normal Micheal.

'Well, this is what Andy was anyway.'

"Just now, when Yulia came in, she releases the same vibes as the two witches. I then instinctively trembled and got outside of the car."

"Then, I didn't dare to go back in, so I just sat at the front seat."

"I'm the one that should be asking you what happened, did you made Yulia angry?"

"I don't know either."

Both of us were whispering with each other, while Yulia was still looking around, admiring the scenery around.

Sigh*

'I don't understand.'

Remembering what Sister Yuna said, she did say to compliment her but what should I say to her.

"Young Master, Should I moved a table outside?"

"No need. You can go back, we'll go in when we're done here."

"Understood."

The butler then returned inside under Micheal's command, leaving us alone for now.

"Want me to show you guys around? There's a lot of things other than this garden."

"Sure."

"Un."

Entering the giant building, we're greeted with grand hallway, there's the chandelier hanging on top and five maids that were standing by on the side.

Afterward, we then went into the kitchen, which probably as large as the entire floor of my house.

Next was the dining room, it's not as spacious as what I expected but still enough for over twenty people.

...

...

Thirty minutes passed, we finally visited almost every single room in this mansion.

We settled on just staying inside Micheal's bedroom as it was enough to call it a giant living room already. If we were sitting in the real living room, it'll be a hassle.

"So, what will we be doing today?"

Micheal asked, there's no way we'll just sit here and do nothing.

I only shook my head as I don't know what to do also.

As for Yulia from the start and beginning, she didn't speak at all even though she was impressed by everything she tried to be not. Either way, we won't be expecting an answer from her.

"Micheal, What games do you have in the house?"

"Hmm... Playing Cards, Chess, Checker. "

The classic ones huh... Chess and Checker were obviously a 'no' since it can only be played by two-person. As for playing cards, there's a lot of versions we could play but I doubt Yulia would like it.

"Chess."

Suddenly, Yulia voiced out that she wanted to play Chess.

"You want to play chess?"

Yulia nodded her head.

"We have one at home but both of my big sisters didn't like chess."

"Then both of you should play, I'll watch."

Micheal wanted to watch again, but this time I won't let him.

"Do you have two board of chess?"

"Um yeah, why?"

"I'll play against both of you at once."

By facing both of them, it should be fairer. It's not like I'm very good at chess, but I'm quite confident that I can beat both of them.

"Are you sure? How about this, I'll call Butler Wu, he'll play against three of us."

"Sounds good."

Micheal went out of the room, calling the butler. After a while, the same old man that greeted us at the front building arrived.

"It'll be my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to play with the young master and his friends."

The chess game started. The butler was a master, he moves his pieces within less than a second and move to the next board but yet manages to understand what I'm doing.

He's good!

...

...

...

"Checkmate."

I-I got checkmate before both of them.

'Why?!'

I can't believe I lost to them.

"Again!"

...

"Checkmate."

I got checkmate again... Just a little more Micheal would've lost but I got checkmate first...

As for Yulia, she's actually on a stalemate with Butler Wu.

Am I really that bad in Chess?

"Ahhh, I lost."

Micheal finally lost to Butler Wu but he only lost once as for me, I lost twice!

"Good job, I guess it's a tie, My dear."

"My, you're quite good, May I get your name, young lady?"

"Yulia."

"You might be a genius in chess. Want to play again?"

"Un."

Yulia actually tied against Butler Wu with only two kings left on the board!

It left me depressed, not only Yulia but Micheal was very good too. I'm really worthless.

"Want to play against me?"

Seeing me depressed, Micheal out of kindness played with me.

"I'm good. For now, I'll learn from them."
