13. HUG

Then she remembered that Kief was going to their house for his training as an exorcist. She was about to go back to her room when...

"Oh, Rusty! Your already here... Child, come. Kief is here."

The man turned his back on her and her heartbeat seemed to stop as it turned forward... Kief was three years older than her... His skin color was only moderate. His eyes are a bit dark, his nose is beautiful with just the right shape and cape. His lips are thin and red. He smiled at her wide so she saw his beautiful teeth.

Her smile was awkward at that moment because her hair was tangled, she forgot to comb. She is wearing a big t-shirt and denim shorts that are up to half of her thigh. She looks newly awake... Why did she forget this important thing?!

"Uy, you're now a maiden Kiddo ah? You're beautiful. You must have a lot of suitors at school." Kief said.

That's what he calls her, 'Kiddo'.

"She doesn't have a suitors yet. She is guarded by Alice..." retorted her dad.

Rusty simply arranged her hair before she finally approached them.

"How are you, Kuya?" she asked as she approached.

"I’m okay, still handsome!"

Kief replied smiling and messed up Rusty's hair.

"Kuya!"

(Kuya-big brother)

"Kiddo, you look even beautiful ah...?"

"N-Not really..." she said shyly.

Kief spoils her and he always says that she is beautiful so she is dead here.

"Come on, let's have a snack first. You'll have a good conversation there later..." Constantine said.

They all go to the dining room and Kief and Rusty are very naughty. After they have a snack. Kief and her Dad immediately leave and go to the training room. She does not know what kind of training it is because she does not know anything about being exorcist... Her Dad has not yet insisted on her to study exorcism. She did not know why it did not tickle her about that matter. She sighed at the thought. She got up and went out. She did not know where to go so she just walked around their house.

At night, Rusty does not know if she will approach Kief... He is sitting on the edge of the garden and he is looking at the flowers. She was secretly watching it... She is behind a large bush carved wall.

Kief smiled... He already knew that Rusty was watching him... He knew, she wanted to approach him just, she looked shy.

"Kiddo, don't hide there. Come, join me here!" he called.

Rusty was surprised by what Kief said... Then he knew her presence. She hesitated to get out of her hiding place. She was embarrassed to look at it. It smiled sparingly at her.

"Kiddo, come here... Sit beside me!" Kief called again.

At that moment, Rusty made a decision... She was going to tell Kief that she had a crushed on it. She hope, he doesn't get angry. She walked closer to where it was and sat down next to him. Smiling Kief looked at the blushing girl's face. She was depressed and he stared more...

"K-Kuya, why?" Rusty asked incredulously.

"Do you want to tell me something?" Kief suddenly asked.

Rusty was stunned and her face became warmer in those moments.

"W-What... Ahm... Nothing, Kuya." she replied in shock.

Rusty sighed when Kief suddenly hugged her... It was as if her heart was coming out at that moment. The force of the beating.

"As for you Kiddo, don't be ashamed of me. You look like someone else eh... Tell me what you want to convey." Kief said.

Rusty bent down and sighed a few times. She looked at it again and it was also looking at her. It looks like a while ago and he was waiting for what she would say...

"Ahm... Will you be angry with me Kuya if I tell you that...." she could not continue what she was going to say...

"Tell me that...?" Kief's casual language.

"Kuya... I have a crush on you!" Rusty's courageous language.

Kief smiled broadly and messed up the girl's hair.

"I thought what... It's okay with me." he replied.

Rusty was stunned by his answer. She smiled.

"Is it really okay?"

"Sure. There's nothing wrong with the crush."

Because of what Kief said, Rusty's face grew thicker.

"In that case, can I just be your girlfriend?" she asked.

Because of what Rusty said Kief laughed.

"Kuya, I'm serious!" Rusty said in annoyance.

Kief stopped laughing and looked at the girl. Its face is serious. He was very scratchy on the nape of his neck and sighed.

"Sorry Kiddo, I'm sorry... But you can't be my girlfriend because I already have a girlfriend. One more thing, it's like you're a younger sister. That's why I spoiled you."

Rusty was stunned by what Kief said. Her heart felt pain... Tears welled up in her eyes. She violently removed his hand that was holding her and she immediately stood up. After that, she ran to their house. When she entered her room, she kept crying... She could not forget what it said.

Meanwhile, Kief sighed violently after Rusty left him... He doesn't want to hurt it, but that's really the truth. He knows it only feels infatuation with him and it will pass.

"Kief, can you come to me?"

Kief suddenly raised his face when he heard that voice. He looked at the speaker and he saw the dark face of his master Constantine. He stood up suddenly.

"Why master?" he asked in fear.

"Just come to me..."

Kief frowned... He knows his master, it will not do him good.

"I'm not at fault, master! What... I just told Rusty the truth. She just infatuated me, it will pass and she will forget." he explained in shock.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! I know, but she still cried... Don't forget that Rusty is my only child."

Constantine approached Kief. Then he hit it on his head.

"Araaay!" Kief just retorted and scratched his head.

He frowned... But he was also worried. Rusty would definitely not be around for a long time. He hurt her feelings by accident.

The next day, Rusty was sad all day. She did not expect that that was what Kief would say to her after she told him her feelings... She was wrong, she was too self-reliant. She was on the rooftop now and mumbling. She wanted to be alone. She was sitting on the floor, she was folded and leaning against the side of the wall. She was bent over those moments. She heard footsteps and looked up... Grimm. It stood in front of her and stared at her face.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

Grimm stared at Rusty's face for a long time, her eyes are puffy... The sadness of her voice too.

"Maybe you forgot, the rooftop is my territory." he said.

Grimm sat down next to Rusty. He kept staring at her sad face.

"You can tell me what bother’s you, I'll listen..." Grimm whispered.

Rusty looked at Grimm tearfully. She shook slowly.

"No I won’t, you might laugh at me." she promised sadly.

"There is no reason for me to laugh at you. Just say it and I will listen... You will feel better when you share that."

Rusty remained silent... She was the type of person who did not speak when she was hurt so much. She stood up to leave. She did not want to talk to anyone. She was about to walk away when suddenly someone grabbed her left arm. She was stunned and looked at Grimm. It gripped her tightly. His face was serious staring at her.

"Let go of me!"

Rusty tried to leave but Grimm had no intention of letting go of her arm.

"I will not let you go until you tell me something. What, will you speak?" Grimm's serious language.

Rusty stared at the man's face for a long time... She did not know if she would tell it to Grimm. She remained silent...

"Please... Speak up."

"Why, can you do anything when I tell you the..." Rusty did not continue to say.

"Maybe, there is... Just say something. Why are you sad?"

Rusty finally faced Grimm. She looked straight at his face. Then her tears continued to flow.

"K-Kief said he already has a girlfriend and he said I was just his younger sister..." her voice cracked.

Rusty's tears were completely wiped away in those moments. Kief was her first crush... Grimm looked carefully at Rusty who was crying. He pulled it closer to him and hugged her... Rusty was very surprised by what Grimm did. She did not expect it to do that. He gently stroked her hair.

"That's alright, we can do nothing if that's how he feels for you. Do not think that I am on his side. But it is good that he was honest to you and he did not gave a false hope on you. You just cry over everything you feel and forget. Everything will be fine too."

Rusty cried even more and she poured out her feelings. She also hugged Grimm. In a few moments she calmed down. She felt better. She immediately wiped away her tears...

"Grimm, thank you ah? I feel better. I'm sorry if I was grumpy earlier..."

"It’s nothing. My Grandmother said, you can ease the hearts of sad people when you hug them because they will feel sympathy and they are not alone. It will also help if all the pain they feel is just released to those tears. It's crazy to harbour grief, that's what she said..." Grimm said.

"Is that so? If so, thank you for your sympathy. Thank you for making me feel better." Rusty said.

Grimm smiled and looked at Rusty. She also looked at him. There was an idea that played in his brain. He was still thinking about that yesterday.

"Why?" Rusty asked.

"I told you, you can be my girlfriend..." in a joking tone.

Rusty laughed softly, she punched Grimm softly in the chest.

"You're crazy!"

But she kept smiling. The pain she was feeling suddenly disappeared. Grimm and her stayed in each other until she felt really okay. It really touched her.

They were unaware that someone was secretly watching the two of them in those moments. It was just in the other building and using a telescope, to watched them. His full attention was focused on Grimm hugging Rusty.
