Chapter 11 - Peeping At The Lovey-Dovey Couple

"Sorry, I can't tell you that. He might end up in trouble."

I say with a firm and determined stance. No Adversary will make me betray my friends.

Father didn't say anything. He just stared at me silently, so did my mother. They don't seem to like the idea of me playing with guns without them knowing.

As for what friend have the weapons? Of course, It's Walid AKA Rock. Sometimes special 'customers' at his father's repair shop couldn't pay the repair fee, so they would 'accidentally' leave a 'toy' gun or two as payment. Sometimes it's a box of shinny little things with pointed ends.

Sometimes we would go to a shooting range, or to the mountains to hunt and have fun. Over 5 to 6 years, you would become good at shooting no matter how bad you were at the beginning.

*sweat* *sweat*

My parents kept looking at me silently for a minute. Then father finally spoke.

"I'm not going to ask you anything for now."

*sigh*

I sigh with relief in my heart.

'Walid, also I'm the one who almost dragged you to your death, I'm also your savior.'

"But, later when this matter is over, let's talk extensively."

… it's not over. I'm sure he will forget about it later, right?

"Sir, Yes Sir!"

I gave my parents a military salute, with a serious face. Ignore how they are looking at me with threatening eyes that are promising something bad.

I have to think of something to end this drama episode.

'Ah! Right!'

I thought of something good.

"Let's compile a list of everything we need in the group chat later!"

My father still has a threatening look but he still nodded, approving the idea.

He turned to mother and told her.

"Right a list of what we have, and a list of what we need."

"Just increase the quantities, enough to last for a year"

"Focus on things that have a long shelf life."

"Aye Aye captain!"

Mother replied smilingly with a playful expression, causing my father to roll his eyes.

He turned in my direction and yelled at me, not wanting to see the husband and wife lovey-dovey interaction.

"Go away! What are you still waiting for?"

"Nothing! I'm going right away."

'Finally'

I close the wooden box containing the gun and take it with the roll of cash beside it.

When I reached the door, from the small gap on the door, my eyes fell on 4 pairs of eyes on top of each other.

Just like a scene from an anime of cartoon, my siblings were peeping at us.

When our eyes made contact they started running away hurriedly.

"Ah! Get out of the way"

"Lower your voice! Dad and mom are going to hear us!"

These brats. Really, what a bad habit, listening to other people's conversation. Good Job.

I went out of the living room and closed the door behind me. The little brats have disappeared at this point with no one to see in the corridor.

"They sure can run fast enough!"

"Let's go change clothe to go out."

I went to my room to prepare myself.

In the living room after I went out a new conversation has started without me knowing.

{living room}

Father looked at Mother with a helpless face.

She still has a smile on her, with a teasing look.

*sigh*

"Mary, why did you tell them about it. Such an embarrassing past, they will keep on bringing it up all the time."

My father couldn't take it anymore and finally asked while sighing in frustration.

*chuckle*

Mother's smile became even bigger after hearing what he said.

"Why? What is so embarrassing? Their father is a hero who saved the beauty from danger. Isn't that a good role model for them?"

Father's become a little bit embarrassed, he shook his head and denied.

"That was a bad example. I don't want them to do such a stupid thing if they encountered such a dangerous situation in the future. You know, I almost got killed at that time."

Mary pinched her husband's waist gently. Then, hugged his arm, intertwined her fingers with his, and whispered softly to his ears.

"But, you did get the girl's heart at the end right, Ali?"

The Father, Ali. Looked at his wife and thought about the past. His eyes becoming softer as he remembered what they went through together.

"Yes, I did get the princess at the end, and lived happily ever after."

Ali said. Then he hugged Mary a big hug and kissed her forehead softly.

*peep* *peep*

From the door keyhole, two eyes were alternating to look at the scene.

*squeal* *squeal*

The two girls Juri and Leya were looking at the scene like watching a romantic drama.

Unfortunately, the director jumped from the 100th floor in the previous chapter and missed this scene.

Changing the scene back to me.

After getting into the room, I changed my clothing to something suitable for going outside.

A simple white T-shirt and blue jeans.

White is the best color for this hot weather. That's if you can ignore the sweat spots under your armpits.

After that, I started checking if everything I might need is on me.

"Let' see."

"Hmm!"

"Phone. Check."

"Wallet. Check."

"Deodorant…."

*sniff* *sniff*

"Check"

"Power bank. Check."

"Utility knife. Check."

"And.. where is it?"

I opened the door to the closet and grabbed a black anti-theft Backpack.

Pulling the gun from the box, I didn't know who to keep it on my body.

In the end, I had to put it behind my back covered by my T-shirt.

"As for the box let's keep it in the backpack"

"it's time for you to be of use."

"Now let's go!"

As I completed my preparation, about to step outside the room I thought of something and hesitated.

I opened the backpack again and took the wooden box containing the pistol.

Looking at it for a moment I shook my head.

"Although you are a beautiful piece of a gun, I'm not used to handling you."

I go back and open the last drawer in the bedside table with the key I always keep on myself.

"You stay here for now. Later, when I have the time, we can get to know each other."

Saying that I closed the drawer and made sure it's locked. Then I lie on the ground and crawl a little under the bed.

I fumble with my hands to grab a small package inserted between the headboard and the mattress.

After grabbing the package I tug at it hard.

*rip*

A ripping sound comes out.

With the package in my hand, I crawl from under the bed and stand up.

*rip*

Pulling out the utility knife, I cut the package open.

Inside the package is another black pistol. Nevertheless, it's not as gorgeous as the one my father gave me.

With it is a holster, 5 magazines, and a bag of bullets.

"Hello once again."

I said with a smile on my face.

Fastening the gun holster under my T-shirt with three magazines and put the rest in my backpack.

"Everything is ready, enough stalling."
