Her cell phone was still ringing. Dash doubt she should answer it or not. She had seen the letters appear on the screen. Miss Rarity. Today is Sunday and Dash not work. Why her boss calling her? But Dash also know that if she still not answered, Miss Rarity will continue to call her until the sea dries.
Finally she gave up and reached for her cell phone.
"Hha-hello..." One of the reasons she lazy answer the phone was because her throat was sick and she could not speak as usual. Now her voice almost like a whisper of wind.
On the other side, Miss Rarity's voice sounded shrill. "Gosh, Miss Dash. What happened with your voice, it sound like a ghost? I know, I know, today Sunday. But I had to keep calling for help. Please deliver clothing for Soarin, could you? We are here busy. Yes, busy. Help please? Deliver to his home. You know his home address? Of course not, stupid me. Eeh ... address? Briefly, yes ... Miss Cocoa ... MISS COCOA! Where do I put the address of Soarin home? Please find it for me. Miss Dash, back to our earlier conversation. Look, I'll send Soarin address in massage when I found it later. You can take the clothes from the boutique then went straight to his house? Thank you very much. Miss Dash, you're good. Bye-bye! "
Dash heard the phone is closed. She did not have a chance to speak. If it had the chance, she will not be able to talk a lot. She inhale slowly and exhale slowly as well. Maybe her boss is from the beginning until now cannot be changed.
Dictator, thought Dash as she glared at her cell phone.
These words have often spoken, but she had never actually submitted a letter of resignation. Although Miss Rarity strange and arbitrarily, Dash was able to learn a lot from her. Since She here Dash loves fashion world. So, although the road is not always smooth, she was pleased to be working with famous fashion designers who did not hesitate to teach her many things.
Dash sipped hot tea again and sat curled up on the bed. Already during the day, but she was still reluctant to get up from there. This morning when she woke up, her throat was sore. This may effect all the screams and cries of fans meet yesterday.
Yesterday she was screaming mightily with thousands of other fans. She wonder why she yelled, she don’t remember. She just kept screaming to enliven the atmosphere. As a result, today whispered just hard!
Dash was just about to fall asleep when she remembered the order from Miss Rarity. As she clicked her tongue in swearing to herself, she got up and change clothes.
Approximately one and a half hour later, Dash was standing at the front door of Soarin house in the area of luxury housing. She can only be amazed in the liver. That night, when she first came there, she is not so concerned about his house. At that times she was frustrated, right? Now the new Dash could see the clear shape of the house is hidden behind the high iron fence.
The house was fairly large, with white walls, a spacious veranda, and a lot of glass windows. Dash loves veranda on the second floor. She raised her hand to shade the eyes from sunlight and looked up watching the house with feelings of pleasure.
Then she reached out and pressed the doorbell.
The next is Soarin voice from intercom.
Dash doubt. She cleared her throat, even though the action was not helpful at all, pressed the intercom button, and mention her name in a hoarse voice.
"What? Who? Sorry, her voice less clear, "Soarin's voice sounded again.
Dash repeat the words with a frown. Supposedly Soarin can see who is standing at the door. Big house like this must include surveillance cameras. Certainly. Why do that man have to make her throat grew sore?
"I still do not understand what you say. But, all right. Come in, Dashie. "
Dash looked away and snorted. Right? Soarin is already know who is standing at the door.
Carrying a few clothes hangers wrapped in plastic, Dash passes through the iron gates that open automatically, then pushed it shut with her foot. She climbed the stairs to the big house.
Soarin was already waiting at the door. The man was wearing a baggy gray sweatshirt and black trousers. His hair was a bit messy because it is not organized. Dash realizes Soarin looked at her from head to foot, and then the man's gaze back to her face. "What is wrong with you? Where does it hurt? "Asked Soarin.
Dash pointed to his neck.
"Have you take medicine?" Asked Soarin again.
Dash smiled and nodded.
Soarin looked at her, then asked, "Why are you here?"
Dash pointed clothes carrying. "Rarity ... try Mhiss hchlothing ..."
Soarin waved. "Gosh ... I can not bear to hear the terrible voice. Come with me, I have medicine for you. Come in."
Dash tried to speak, but her throat was too excruciating. Finally she obeyed. However she could not resist the words of Soarin in this state. Just wait until her voice returned to normal.
Inside the house, she was off her shoes and wearing house slippers shown Soarin.
The inside of the house was laid out neatly. all the furniture and decoration in the house seem luxurious. After putting the clothes on the nearby couch, Dash observe the photographs hanging on the walls. Most photograph pair of middle-aged men and women. Dash's suspect they are Soarin parents. There are also some photos Soarin as child, adolescent, and at this time.
Dash was so much fun watching the photos to the extent that she is not aware of Soarin was standing next to her.
"What happened with your throat? Yesterday, instead of mediocre? "He asked.
"Yesterdayh ... hfans meethingh ... Secreamh," Dash tried to explain in broken.
Soarin laugh. "Ah, so because yesterday you screaming? Stupid girl. Drink this, "he said, holding the glass of dark brown liquid.
Dash took it uncertainly.
"Do not worry. That is not a drug. Drinking it and throat will get better soon. "
Dash looked at Soarin were walking back to the kitchen. After hesitantly she drank the liquid, which turned out to be pretty good, she again looked around the room. There is a white grand piano in the living room that is not remembered was there when she first came into the house. Dash stroked the piano surface and open the lid. She cannot play instrument, but she likes to listen music. She pressed one piano and smiled to herself.
"Hey, do not touch it."
Dash looked up and saw Soarin walked up to her. She waved told Soarin comes pointing piano.
"What?" Asked Soarin confused after standing near the piano.
"Phlay ith," Dash whispered hoarsely while moving fingers as if playing the piano.
"You want me to play the piano?"
Dash nodded and pulled Soarin and sat in a chair.
Soarin sat down reluctantly and said, "How much do you want to pay?"
"Whhath?" Asked Dash while moving the chin.
"How much do you want to pay for my music?" Soarin repeated.
Dash pushed his shoulder and pointed piano firmly.
"Okay okay. I understand, "said Soarin.
The piano soft voice began to be heard. Dash stood beside the piano, propped her chin on it while looking at the Soarin fingers dancing on top of the piano keys. When the tune played by him finally stopped, Dash clapping.
"Good!" She said, holding the neck. "Eh, it's not too sore again."
Soarin smiles. "I told you is effective medicine."
"Play one more song," asked Sandy.
Suddenly, she heard the phone ring tone. Dash reached into her pants pocket and pulled out her cell phone. The look on her face changed when she saw the screen. She immediately opened the flap phone and walk away from Soarin so he did not hear the conversation.
"Hello? What is it, Thunderlane? "Dash spoke in a low tone. "What? Now? I can not. I'm ... uh ... "
"The call from Ben, huh?" Said Soarin Loud.
Dash jumped and hastily closed the phone by hand. But there's no point, Thunderlane had heard the words clearly.
"Dash, you're with someone?" Asked Thunderlane with a suspicious tone.
Dash widened to Soarin who tried to look innocent, then said quietly, "Yes. I have to go. Bye?"
Dash closed the phone and hips. Soarin are you crazy? If it was Uncle Ben Bear is calling, Dash's impossible to speak in a low voice as before. Strange people!
"Soarin, why are you doing? You want people to know about us? "Asked Dash staring Soarin who rose from the piano.
Soarin did not seem to care. He was just past Dash and said, "I'm up to my room for a while."
Dash looked at the figure of Soarin who climb the ladder quickly, then disappeared. Really weird! Dash shook her head and went back to look around the Soarin house. People could not enter into the house of the artist. This opportunity should be utilized as well as possible.
She was watching a baseball bat with a sense of wonder when she heard her cell phone rang again.
Who else? Thunderlane, she said to herself, looking from side to side, looking for the origin of the sound. Earlier she put her cell phone where? Ah, there it is, on the piano.
She ran to the piano and immediately open the flap phones. "Hello?"
"Hello? Who is this? "Asked the female voice on the other side.
Dash frowned. She did not recognize the woman's voice. Then she asked, "Is Rainbow Dash. You want to look for who? "
She did not hesitate when answering, "Is not this Soarin Phone?"
Dash surprised. Gosh! Again she took the wrong phone. She is turning her heads around the room and saw her cell phone lying on the dining room table. How about this?
"Oh ... Yes, this is Soarin phone," said Dash little nervous. "I'll get him."
The woman on the other side suddenly hold. "Wait a minute. You this lady in the photo along with Soarin, Right? "
Dash held her breath and turned toward the stairs, hoping Soarin appear immediately.
"Um ... I ..." Dash really did not know what to say. She was never told how to deal with people who ask about her with Soarin.
"It's okay," the woman's voice turned friendly. "I'm Soarin mother."
Gosh! His mother? This knowledge makes Dash even panic.
"Ah, how are you, Aunt?" Dash said, trying to sound calm even though she fidgeted. Dash then close the phone with her hands and called out Soarin with her voice still a little hoarse. "Soarin!"
She put the phone back to his ear and said, "Soon Soarin will go down."
Soarin's mother laughed softly. "It was nice to hear your voice even though Soarin has not introduced us. The basis of the child. Did you say your name is Rainbow Dash, is not it? Sounds like you have flu. Are you okay?"
"Oh, I fine." Just then she saw Soarin down the stairs, she quickly ran towards him.
"Soarin already here. Feel free to talk to him, "said Dash on the phone, then handed the phone to Soarin.
Soarin took the phone with puzzled. "Who?"
"Your mother," Dash whispered frantically.
Soarin raised his eyebrows in surprise and answered the phone. "Hello, Mom?" Then suddenly he held the phone away from his ear. Even Dash could hear the soarin mother's voice were shouting loudly.
Soarin finally put the phone back to his ear and said, "Not that I do not want to tell Mom and Dad, just think ... I know ... What? I am at home. Yes alright. Dad will explain to you later. What? … She?"
Dash somewhat confused when the man looked at her.
"Wait a moment," said Soarin, then handed the phone to Dash. Dash looked at Soarin and the phone.
"My mom wants to talk to you," said Soarin, putting the phone into Dash hands. "Is okay."
Dash biting her lip and staring at Soarin. Then she put the phone to her ear and say hello to Soarin mother. She listened to the older woman was briefly nodding and occasionally say "Okay" and "I understand". Finally she said, "bye" and close the phone.
"My mother said what?" Asked Soarin when Dash restore his cell phone.
Dash countered, "What did you tell your mother about me?"
"I have not had time to say about us," said Soarin. "My father saw pictures of us on the internet and my mother called to ask about the truth."
Dash just nodded. "Oh, our pictures are on the internet as well?"
"Then what my mother said to you?" Asked Soarin again.
Dash smiled. "She said I should keep an eye on your food because you often forget to eat when it's busy at work. She said I had to be patient if i face you, especially if you're cranky. She said in fact you're a good boy and would not make me disappointed. Your mother also said she wanted to see me and asked you to take me to Manhattan to meet her. "
Soarin moan. "Annoying. Why she was so good to you? Instead she had just screaming in my ear. "
Dash shrugged. "Maybe she prefers girls. Hey, if not mistaken, your mother is author of the book, huh? I ever read one of her books and I love it. Your mother really thought I was your girlfriend? Well, great. "
Soarin ignoring the words of Dash and asked, "Why do you answer the phone?"
Dash cleared her throat and said, "I thought that my cell phone rang. Earlier. When your phone rings, I think he called again. I told you should to change the ring tone. "
"Who's calling?"
"Friend," Dash said as she looked away. "Oh, look. Already time for lunch. No wonder I'm getting hungry. You also do not eat, right? "
Soarin hips and looked down at the floor. Then he raised his head and said, "Then, we went to eat outside."
"Hey, you want us both to be seen? You want to make my life difficult? "Asked Dash.
"Then, what should we do?"
"We order pizza," says Dash quickly. "For a long time I did not eat the pizza. Okay?"
"Sore throat even want to eat pizza?" Asked Soarin. "You eat porridge."
"My throat was cured," Dash protested.
"When are you going to take me to see your mother?"
Soarin raised his head and stared at the girl who was biting piece of pizza in front of him in surprise. Then Dash laughed and said, "Just kidding. No need confusion so. "
Soarin back eating his pizza without saying anything.
"Last month when you back from Manhattan, did you go to visit your parents?" Dash asked casually.
"How do you know I went to Manhattan last month?" Soarin asked.
Dash shrugged. "Everyone knows," she said. "At the present time, nothing can be hidden celebrity. People have many ways to find out. Of things that are fundamental, for example about the authors mother, father composer, and about their stay in the Manhattan, up to the size of your clothes and how many hours do you sleep at night. "
"Really?" Soarin smiles and adds, "So you think there are no unknown people know about me?"
Dash paused to think. Then, "Uh, no," said Dash firmly.
"What?"
Dash smiled proudly and said, "People do not know you know me."
Ah, she's right. They both have a secret. Somehow this makes Soarin happy.
"I want to ask you," said Soarin suddenly.
Dash looked at him, waiting for his words.
"I want to know who called you," said Soarin. He saw Dash's face changed and he quickly added, "Do not say again he was a friend and do not try to change the subject."
Dash opened her mouth and closed it again. Soarin realized she was wavering.
"He's ex-boyfriend that you tell me last time, right?" Said Soarin carefully.
Dash took a deep breath and exhale. Then she nodded.
Soarin suddenly felt not excited. He asked again, "Why would he call you again after what he did to you?"
Dash shrugged. "I have no idea. I do not understand too. We just chatting, eating, and little things like that. "
Soarin did not realize his voice growing louder. "Then why do you still want to see him?"
Dash look at him in surprise. "I think I ... I ... I do not know."
Soarin could see Dash somewhat confused to answer the question.
"Until now ... you still like him?" The words were spilling out of Soarin mouth inevitably. Then, without realizing it, his body tense waiting for his answer.
Dash hesitated, then finally said, "Maybe."
"What?"
Dash looked at him somewhat confused. "Maybe," she said again. "Maybe I still have feelings for him. I have no idea."
Soarin suddenly found it hard to breathe. His eyes fixed on the table but blank. His mind is also empty.
Then he heard Dash again. "It's personal problems and has nothing to do with you and Uncle. No need to worry. I promise not to say anything about you two on that person. I'm a person who can distinguish personal problems with the work. "
Soarin wry laugh. "So?"
"I want to ask you," Dash said suddenly.
Soarin looked at the girl's face turned serious, "What?"
Dash did not look at Soarin, but looking at the pizza in her hand. "Incident of four years ago ... Can you tell me?"
Soarin stunned. He does not think Dash would ask that.
Dash glanced and added, "I just wanted to hear your side story ... if you do not mind."
Somehow Soarin feel somewhat uneasy. Until now he still cannot forget the incident. Accidents as if it were yesterday.
"What do you want to know?"
"All."
Soarin draw a deep breath. Dreamy gaze. His words slid slowly and evenly. "When the event is over. Rain is falling. I've been in a car waiting at the main entrance. The fans still gathered around my car. They were shouting, jostling. My driver could barely run the car. The security officers also overwhelmed pave the way so that the car can pass. Eventually they managed to hold the fans. The car began to move. Slowly, not fast, because I was still waving to the fans. Then it happened just like that. "
Soarin frowned remembering those moments.
"The car braked suddenly. When I asked my driver what had happened, he said, one of the fans get hit by the car. Like nightmare. Everyone panicked and she was quickly rushed to hospital. We were not allowed to see her because the doctor must carry out checks on emergency room.
"I do not know for sure how the actual incident, but according to several witnesses, the fans urged each other and the girl pushed right next fall when my car passed. Although the car was not speeding, and her head hit the asphalt so ... "
Soarin hear breath Dash snapped. But when looked up, he saw the girl a small nod, ask Soarin continue the story. What is in her mind? Soarin wanted to know.
Still somewhat reluctantly, Soarin continued, "I heard the girl was not of Cloudsdale. He came from far away to ... I did not even see her in the hospital because she was immediately taken home somewhere. We can only convey my condolences through the media. "
Dash was silent.
"What do you think?"
Dash snapped out of her reverie. "Eh, what?"
"What do you think?" Repeated Soarin.
"Oh ... I do not know ... but I guess ... you're not wrong."
Soarin suspect Dash nervous because they do not know what to say after hearing the story. But Soarin felt the attitude was better than pretend to understand his feelings.
