DOS

As always I woke up early. I made a cup of coffee and bake a small bread just for breakfast. I took a seat for awhile while looking at different people crossing the streets. I'm really glad that I have my balcony, such a relaxing place.

The moment I took a sip of coffee, I started to remember something. I remember how clumsy that girl is. I wonder if she got away safely though.

Aish. Why do I even care?

I was enjoying my time with my coffee when suddenly knocked on my door. I really hate when someone is disturbing me when I'm having a special time with my coffee.

Sigh. Who could it be?

"Hey it's only 8:00 in the m-"

"BROTHER!" A cute voice shouted then I felt something warm wrapping below me.

It's my cute little sister Isabella. She hugs me like I'm one of her teddy bear at home.

“You're too early” said I while patting her head.

“What do you mean I'm early? I'm actually late attending school ”Isabella said then giggles.

Oh. Wait. WHAT?

I started panicking and went inside the bathroom. I did my best to take a bath as fast as I can. What the hell happened? What is she late?

“What happened Isabella? Why didn't you just go straight to the school? " I asked her while driving.

“Supposedly. I'm going with Dad today but something urgent happened ”she explained while looking at the window.

“You know Dad. Work is much more important than us ”She continue.

The car went silent for a moment. Seeing Isabella's smile fade is really my weakness.

“I'm really happy you're here” said Isabella. Bringing her beautiful smile back.

“Of course. I'm always here for you ”Said I.

Isabella is too young to experience this. She must be happy playing with other kids than thinking how our fath- no her father value work more than her daughter.

I really hated that guy the first time he came into our life.

“By the way! I have something to ask ”Said Isabella while looking at me.

"Hmm?" I asked.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

I suddenly stepped on the break. I almost have a heart attack because of that question. I might be overreacting but it just that she's too young for me to ask that.

That is why I'm pretty surprised.

“Well. Uhm. No actually. Why? ” Said I while my voice is stuttering.

I saw her reflection smiling. I don't why but I know she's planning something.

“Uhm. The thing is- I have this cute teacher. She's also single. Aside from being beautiful she's also smart! Like hella smart! ” Isabella explained with hand gestures.

"So what are trying to say?"

“Nothing. I'm just saying that if you want a girlfriend there's a beautiful single teacher at school ”Isabella said then gave me a smirked.

This kid.

“And one more thing about her. She looks like one of the idols that I really like! They also have the same name so- yeah! It's pretty cool ”she explained.

I patted her head and said “I don't have a plan on courting someone yet”

“Tell that to me once you see her” teased Isabella then giggles.

I just gave her a smile. Isabella is indeed an adorable kid. I still don't get how her father can be so irresponsible.

We arrived at school pretty late. The school is quite huge. There's a lot of classrooms and offices. They even have a baseball field, soccer field, pool and a basketball court. I forgot how rich Isabella's father is.

Despite of being late, I still see a lot of students arriving.

Isabella hold my hand while guiding me through her classroom. Her classroom is also huge despite of having a few students. I do thought that her teacher will scold us or something but she just smiled and greeted us.

“Sorry for arriving late. Something happened ”I explained.

“No it's fine! It's better late than never right? " The teacher said then once again smiled.

“Ah-yeah” Said I then rub my head like a kid.

Isabella's teacher is indeed beautiful yet I doubted that she is the one that Isabella been talking about. I saw her homeroom teacher's finger wearing wedding ring. So I doubted she's the one.

“Have a nice day” said I then gave Isabella a wave.

“Have a good day too” Isabella's teacher said.

I was about to completely leave the school when I saw someone tripped while holding a lot of books. She fell down through the ground and the books spread out. I rushed through her and help her pick every book.

“Ah uhm. Thank you ”

I really don't know how can I describe her voice. It's between soft and low voice yet so appealing.

As I look at her my heart started to beat so fast. Her blue beautiful eyes is just beyond this world, Her cheery cheeks are just cute and even the way she tie her black hair is just admirable.

“Uhm- Ah- You're Welcome” Said I then start to pick things up.

She is planning to bring this heavy and a lot of books by herself.

"Let me help you"

“No- I can-” She's about to tell me something but knee hurts.

I grab every book she have which is by the way pretty heavy.

“Let me help you” said I.

"Tha-Thank you"

I started when but it seems like she's having a trouble walking without holding something.

“Here. hold my left arm "

"Thank you"

I just smiled at let her hold my arm. Her hand is really warm and soft. Things gone quiet while we are walking. She just tell me where to go and that's it. It's really awkward. I was never been shy like this before.

The moment we arrived the library she slowly picked the books one by one and putted it on the table. Our face is quite close so my heart is really pumping so fast.

“Thank you again” Said she then brushed her hair through her left ear.

“No. It's fine. Uhm- just be careful next time ”

Then things became quiet again. So I decided to talk. I'm really panicking.

“I'm Dos by the way” Said I while offering her a hand shake.

“I'm Mina. Nice to meet you ”Mina said then grab my hand to hand shake.

It's really soft. Mina's eyes are looking my eyes too which makes my cheeks feel hot.

“So uhm- I should go now. It's nice to meet you. Be careful next time ”Said I while stuttering.

“Yes. Thank you again ”Mina said then gave me her sweet smile.

I immediately turned around and started blushing. I did my best to get away from here as fast as I can. I'm in danger her.

Maybe she's the one that Isabella been talking.

Mina.

As I say her name inside my head my lips started to smile.

Mina.

This can't be.

Mina.

No-

Mina.
