Ch. 6Annoying Man


Theodor suddenly smiled. Realizing what he was doing. So, Theodor felt something strange within himself. He still wondered what feeling it was that made him want to smile. Frisilia was somewhat annoyed with Naura. Naura had violated the contract. There was no prior confirmation whether there would be practice or not.

Upon arriving home, Naura immediately searched for her phone charger. Shortly after, Theodor arrived. He mentioned that Jacob had almost found out she had another piano coach. Jacob was someone quite Difficult to keep secrets from. That's why Naura was more open with Theodor than with herself.

"Where have you been?"
"I had a delayed lesson, so I didn't practice."
"By the way, have you informed your coach that you canceled today's practice? He was waiting until 9 o'clock."
"Really? Oh no! He must be mad at me." Naura grumbling.
"Jacob almost found out about your piano coach earlier." Said Theodor.
"What? Then what?" Naura Gasp.
"Well, I quickly diverted his attention."
"Wow, you're the best." Naura praised.

Theodor went back to his room. Naura immediately sent a message to Frisilia to apologize and reschedule their practice. Frisilia, who had just received a message from Naura, only read it and ignored it. She still felt offended by Theodor's earlier words. Frisilia thought about just ending it. With her high self-esteem, she felt disappointed in Theodor's behavior. She thought Theodor was the rudest and most annoying man she had ever met.

The day changed, and Frisilia intended to invite Naura to meet and discuss the cancellation of the training contract. Frisilia didn't inform beforehand that she would terminate the contract because she thought it would be ethical to discuss it in person.

Naura and Frisilia met at a café not far from Bonjour School. Coincidentally, Frisilia had a teaching schedule today. Frisilia, who arrived first, waited with some documents she had taken. Then, from a distance, Naura, who had just arrived, could be seen in her casual attire. Coincidentally, she didn't have any lectures to attend today, so she looked relaxed.

"Hey? Have you been waiting long?"
"Not really. Please, have a seat."
Naura put her bag on the table and began ordering something for herself. Then, she saw Frisilia flipping through a document in front of her, which made Her curious, and she eventually asked.

"This document is the termination of the contract between us," Frisilia explained casually.
"WHAT?! Wh-What do you mean?" Naura started to feel anxious.
"Let's end this partnership," Frisilia said firmly.

Naura wondered why Frisilia suddenly wanted to stop teaching her. Naura then asked why their partnership had ended. At first, Frisilia didn't tell the exact reason she wanted to end it. Frisilia argued that she already had a busy schedule. In other words, she wouldn't say how annoying her brother was.

"Please, tell me honestly." Naura requested.
"I will find another teacher. Of course, they will be very talented."
"No! I want to be taught by a master like you." Naura refused.
Frisilia stared at Naura and occasionally sighed. Naura still insisted on knowing why Frisilia didn't want to teach her piano anymore, but Frisilia stuck to her decision. Irritated, Naura left without signing the termination agreement between them.

"Huh, is their family's character like that of all of them? Ah, so annoying. I don't want to go back to that house again." Frisilia kept complaining to herself.

Naura asked Frisilia to come as usual according to the schedule that has been in place. Because she refused to end their partnership, Frisilia felt burdened by this, but she couldn't have been in place her responsibility. Frisilia finally returned to teaching Naura. Naura looked happy to see her maestro's arrival. She started practicing again.

As usual, Theodor returned unexpectedly. That was the second time Theodor noticed Naura practicing the piano with her teacher. What caught Theodor's attention, of course, was Naura's piano teacher. Theodor was carried away by the comfortable atmosphere when Frisilia pressed the piano keys one by one with her slender fingers. After Frisilia showed her play, she received small claps from behind.

Unconsciously, Theodor applauded while smiling and closing his eyes. Naura and Frisilia looked puzzled at Theodor.
"What is he doing?" Frisilia muttered to herself, looking cynically at Theodor.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Naura's question seemed to wake Theodor up from his reverie. Theodor looked embarrassed and quickly rushed into his room. Naura laughed a little to see her cousin's behavior, which she saw for the first time.
"Never mind him."
"Uh, Okay," Frisilia replied nervously.

Theodor felt like he had lost his mind. He wondered what was happening to him this time. Frisilia's classical music could relax him.

"What was that all about? What have I done? What's happening to me? Do I like classical music that much?" Feeling something odd about himself, Theodor quickly grabbed his phone and searched for a piece of classical piano music. When he listened to it, he seemed not to like it. Theodor began to furrow his brow. He no longer felt the same as before.
"Why does it feel different? Isn't this the same music that woman played?"

Theodor began to feel that something was amiss with himself. The classical piano music he played on his phone seemed different from what Frisilia had played earlier.

Meanwhile, Frisilia still pondered Theodor's behavior, which puzzled her. She didn't understand the meaning behind his applause. Frisil felt that Theodor's attitude was Very Unstable. Sometimes praising and then mocking. Frisil even began to think that maybe Theodor wasn't as annoying as she thought.

The sound of a door knocking was heard. Frisilia's mother came to her.
"Am I disturbing you?"
"Of course not. What's up, mom?"
"We have a family dinner with some relatives tomorrow. Can you come?"
"Hmm– Is dad also coming?" Frisilia asked.
"Of course."

Frisilia fell silent for a moment. Frisilia was indeed very close to her father. Lately, however, she has felt she cannot spend much time with him due to their busy schedules. Finally, Frisilia decided to join her mother because she could spend time with her family.

Jiny Knight specially made this dinner. She was the wife of a businessman and owner of Knight Corporation, Jhony Knight. Frisilia's mother, Maria, was good friends with Jiny. Jiny intended to introduce her son, Jason, to Frisilia under the pretext of having dinner together. Jiny was Very interested in getting to know Frisilia when Maria showed her photo through a messaging app. Jiny and Maria had been friends since they were in school. But they parted ways because Jiny continued her studies abroad. However, communication between them still went very well.
