A Thousand Words and One Love

Perfect as Liar

◆ Oriel's PoV ◆

Today Charlie had a math exam so he woke up earlier in the morning when I came to the kitchen for preparing breakfast with aunt. Charlie was sitting in dining table while reading his book, aunt also said to me to make a breakfast just for three of us because today uncle isn't in here, he had left the house with his car about an hour ago. I asked aunt where is he going to but she didn't know where uncle left for. She said uncle is always gone without any words yet he never spoke anything since then.

I stopped asking a question to aunt, I might be hurt her feeling yet actually I don't care if uncle is here or not but I prefer he's not in here but I don't mean to be pretend feeling sorry to her, I know aunty will be better if uncle isn't here but I know she must be worried if he doing something bad out there. I put our breakfast on the table then we eat together without uncle here, Charlie puts his math book in his bag as he ready to eat his breakfast. We don't say any word but I tried to think something to say so the atmosphere isn't heavy but I can't think anything to say so I just stay quiet. After finished his breakfast, Charlie then get up and grabbed his backpack and ready to leave. I asked him if he wants me to accompany with but he refused it and said if he will be alright then he left.

"Oriel, after this I wanna go to market for buy some food supply. Can you do housework for me?"

"Alright aunt. I'll do it for you."

"Thank you and don't worry I'll be back soon."

After finished our meal, aunty is ready going to the market, because of the car is used by uncle, she will go to there with her basket bicycle. I ask her if the market is far away from here but she said it's okay besides she wants to take an exercise and she said to me I should take exercise at least do a stretching. I nodded and smiled to her, aunt is right besides I felt my body is clumsy lately, maybe it's because I never do an exercise.

I'm washing some dishes as aunt left the house to the market, I then carefully place them to cupboard after I dried them with cloth. I went to bathroom while carrying a basket of dirty clothes, it's kinda heavy. My mom had ever teach me how to used washing machine before so I know what kind of clothes should be washed with bleaching or not. After put them in, I see Slender is tapping glass on the window outside there and he waved his hand, I then open the window and ask why he's in here. He says that he wants to look after me if I'm alright, I sighed and says I'm fine and I want to finish houseworks sooner before my aunt is going back from market. He nods and offers himself to help me with, I thinking about it for twice. He will help me to finish all houseworks so when aunt gets back everything is finished well but he ain't gonna steal anything right? It seems it's better if he cleans the backyard. I agreed his offers and ask him to clean the backyard, he nods and left me.

When I finished washing clothes and ironing them I go to backyard to checking if he's finished cleaning but when I came here everything is not what I imagine, the backyard is still mess. He seems confused with how to used broom to sweep the grass, I facepalm as I see he just gonna make this backyard gonna mess as hell. If aunt sees this when she comes back, she'll get mad at me. Oh yeah, I'm forget that he's a kind of fairy, so I think he doesn't know how to works like a human. I come to him and grab the broom from him and started to sweep away some dry leaves.

"So, you don't know how to sweeping Mr. Fairy?"

"Umm.. sorry but I want to help you."

"But you don't know how to--"

"So, please teach me!" he begs to me.

(sigh) "Fine, go grab a broom on there." he walks to pick a broom near uncle's studio.

"Grab like this right?"

"Yes, now watch me carefully. Sweep the leaves like this."

He do what I did and it seems he learns quickly, I'm happy to see it. We then sweep all dry leaves and put them into a trash can. After that I pick a watering can and fulfil it with water I then walk to the plants and watering them. I like aunt's flower collection they're; roses, asters, tulips, lilies and more so I can't name it. I glance at a small flower near roses, I let out a big smile as I bent down and touch it. It's lily of the valley's flower, I know it. I love this flower because it's very cute flower yet it has a beautiful meaning, that's true love. Slender kneels next to me, he asks if I like this flower, I give a slightly nod.
