“Mysterious Guy”
Author by Natalie Ernison
Ve finally graduated with a fairly satisfactory grade predicate. But behind that happy day, it was quite heartbreaking for Ve. Because his father did not participate in the graduation ceremony that Ve had been waiting for.

After receiving a call from Helbert, Ve rushed to the place Helbert had said.
He was riding in public transport as usual. Time has shown the hit. 20:00, Ve was still on the bus he used to ride.
Suddenly the bus he was riding stopped in a fairly quiet area of the road. Only a few people were still on the bus. Ve was still sitting quietly by grasping the runsel bag as well as his paper bag.
Ve sat at the back, leaning back and gazing at the area of trees on the side of the road.
The gust of night wind hit Ve's skin and made her get a little goosebumps because of it. It seems that the promise to meet with Helbert also failed because there were some things that Ve had to work on.
Srach…
The sound of something coming from the side of the road, precisely next to the bus that is still silent.
The figure with such a sharp eye looked at him quite fixedly. Ve widened when he saw the figure that was drenched in blood in the area of his mouth.
But in an instant the figure disappeared from Ve's eyes. Ve still managed his breathing slowly. That was pretty horrible for him. Who exactly was that figure, why did Ve's feelings become a little unsettled.

Ve still felt trembling over what he had seen some time ago. A pretty terrible figure was ringing in his eyes.
“What I saw earlier, why is it so real..” Ve said as he clutched his favorite bolster.
All night long Ve is very difficult to fall asleep. He continued to shadow the figure he had witnessed with his own eyes. Could this be the beginning of a new story in Ve's life.
The next day…
Ve continued to remember the figure he saw that night. It is so clear and unforgettable.
“What do you dream of Vellin?” ask her mother, giving her a warm cup of tea.
“No ma'am, I was just thinking about my father and brother Jaxon.” Reply Ve just as long as you say. At that time he was thinking about the figure he had seen next to the bus he was riding.
“You better take care of your own business. Why think of people who clearly don't care.” Tukas his mother. Ve was very surprised at the reaction of her mother.
“Mother, I'm sorry if I upset mom..” regrets Ve while standing behind her mother.
“Find a much better job. Do not just focus with one place,” said his mother, then went to the kitchen to process bread dough.
Ve fell silent at the expression of his mother. There was a sense of tightness, when he saw so many burdens that his mother had to bear after the departure of his father.
Grab his cell phone, and make a voice call. “Hallo brother Hel! I want permission for tomorrow..-“ after calling, Ve is back to help her mother process the cake dough.
Her mother looked very tired with all the work she had been doing alone, without the presence of her husband.
“Didn't you have to get up early tomorrow to go to work?” his mother said as she kept busy with the bread dough.
“Tomorrow I will permit and join the working mother,” reply Ve made her mother stop her activities for a moment.
“Do you want to be more productive and make a lot of money. Why sell bread?” the mother of Ve looked towards Ve with a look of wonder.
“I just want to feel what you feel so far,” said Ve, then swiftly help his mother.

Ve was ready with the clothes of a small shopkeeper owned by his family. Today there will be an event in one of the open spaces. This was a great opportunity for his mother to peddle some of their processed bread.
“Mom wait in the store, let me go sell these buns.” Ve reached for the basket that contained full bread and was neatly wrapped.
While some other boxes will be taken using a vehicle owned by his mother.
Festival area
Like other traders, Ve was busy selling processed bread from his mother. But because not only bread was sold, so Ve had to bring quite a lot more than he had to sell.
“So this is what I've been feeling all along. For the sake of this family, the mother fought alone.” Inner Ve.
Ve involuntarily dripped her tears until she dripped onto her plastic bread.
He imagined how tired it was to cultivate, then sell it. Buy again if there are some items that do not sell. Ve sat for a moment at the side of the stall where he sold his mother's processed bread.
“Only because the bread is not sold out, then you act crybaby like this!” someone said that made Ve surprised.
Ahk. Pekik Ve surprised.
As he looked up, a high-statured man prophosional gave his hand to Ve.
“Young master Draco!” say Ve spontaneously. The man was Draco, the cold man with the expression of a female assassin. Draco is known for men who rarely smile.
“Hey what you guys are doing!” pekik Ve, when some people from Draco began to eat bread that was still lying in the basket.
“We will buy it.” Drao said while giving a sum of money that cannot be said a little.
“Wait! this is too much, tu—“ suddenly the figure of Draco is no longer there.
“Where did those guys go! why is it so fast..” murmured Ve wonder.
Because only as fast as lightning, the figure of Draco is no longer. It's only natural that Ve feels so strange.

Ve came back with a few baskets of sold out bread.
“All sold?” asked his mother to welcome the arrival of Ve who drove his family's vehicle.
“Ia mom. Here's the money from today's sale.” Ve gave all the money from the sale of bread, not to forget also with a bonus from Draco.
“This is very much Vellin. Who has given you this much money?”
“This is from some rich people. It's only natural if they give it more.” Tukas Ve, hope the mother will respond as she expects.
“Mom never taught you to make a profit in a bad way. Quickly return this money, mother does not want to enjoy the results are not clear from where!”
“Bu! wh why? this is nothing for people.“.
“You should know Vellin! We can be difficult, but do not let others consider our self-esteem low. Better we live simply but all of the good hard work.”
Hearing the statement from his mother, Ve fell silent and did not understand. Ve knows very well how rich the Draco family is. Ve was very confident, if the money was given sincerely.
“Good ma'am. Tonight I'll refund this.” Ve hurried away in his vehicle. The mother was silent.
Since his father's death with another woman. Ve's mother became a figure who was often angry carried away by emotions.
