history
Chapter I
ㅤ Fourth of July,
ㅤ Warbler Hill Home.ㅤ Boisterous sound of kids giggling, singing and screaming out their lungs had already toned down after colorful fire-flowers were released into the dark sky. The clock struck eight, but those little rascals seemed to be tired after having an all-day celebration for the nation’s anniversary. It wasn’t anything grand, though. Just a simple barbecue party and some friendly games in the backyard. But it was a tradition at the orphanage.
ㅤ “Good night, Susan!” They replied in unison before the caretaker turned off the light.
ㅤ The so-called Susan then closed the door. A female caretaker who looked like she was in her early twenties. She had blonde hair, slightly wavy and left loose, flowing down just below her shoulders. And with her hand still resting on the doorknob, a soft sigh slipped out of her reddish lips as a wide grin on her visage slowly withered.
ㅤ “All in bed?” A voice asked as someone walked by.
ㅤ It slightly jerked Susan, but she looked up at the person⸺an older woman with hair bun still up and neat. A thin smile showed up once again. “Ah, yes.”
ㅤ “Okay. Don’t forget to lock all the doors!”
ㅤ A nod simply presented before the other vanished from her sight. Susan then let another long sigh escape before pushing herself to do the duty.
ㅤ
ㅤ Step by step, she dragged her feet to check all the doors and windows, in case there were any that hadn’t been closed or locked. In this quite spacious building with many rooms and all, it could take a while to check everything. But she got used to it. Even though it hadn’t been long since she volunteered⸺or forced to volunteer⸺at this orphanage.
ㅤ She could feel fatigue starting to crawl upon her body. Flushed ears were still buzzing from the noise those kids made earlier. Also an indication of a rising temperature as dizziness streaked her head because negative thoughts began to take over her brain. In this state of mind, she could only shake her head to lessen the discomfort and stretch her arms to keep her sanity in check.
ㅤ When she reached the front door, and was about to check it, her hearing caught a low sound of giggle. Wrinkles formed on her forehead, somehow thinking that she had lost it⸺her sanity. She shook her head once more to shove off the thoughts, and continued her duties.
ㅤ Holding the door knob, she turned it. It was locked. But the sound came back again. Did she start to hallucinate, or? She thought. Soon, a reminder of a creepy story behind this old building hit her head. It gave her goosebumps.
ㅤ Quickly, Susan unlocked the door, made a swift turn of the key, twice, to make sure that the door was truly locked. She then turned around and was about to take a step away from the door when the giggle sounded once again. And it became louder, clearer and longer.
ㅤ Her feet stopped from moving, and her thin eyebrows furrowed. Suspicion reached the surface as a more logical thinking bloomed in her mind. And so, she turned back to the door and hand reached for the key to turn it counterclockwise, twice. She then opened the door.
ㅤ And there, by the doorstep, her eyes caught a brown-colored basket with a little creature wrapped in a blue blanket in it. Never had she imagined encountering this movie-like scene directly. But looking at this scene in real life, somehow caused her forehead to crease in exasperation. She was furious. How could someone leave their baby like this? Her head turned to look around, in case whoever left the baby was still around. She’d like to talk to them. Also giving a little lecture or bunch of swearings, if she could. But too bad, no one was around.
ㅤ Susan let out a resigned sigh to calm herself down. She then knelt down and caressed the pinkish cheeks of the poor little one before lifting the baby into her embrace. But a piece of paper fell down, so she took it with one hand.
ㅤ
ㅤ ⸺ Keith Ritter ⸺
ㅤ
ㅤ Was written on a small piece of paper. Nothing less, nothing more. Frown on her visage couldn’t help but return. Feeling like anger started to boil up just to think about what kind of parents would do such things to an innocent baby like this. Gave them names but threw them away. She just couldn’t get it.
ㅤ But shifting her eyes to the little creature in her arm, Susan’s heart warmed up. Those tiny brown eyes and a pouty mouth, caused a warm fuzzy feeling inside. As if the little boy swept away all of her worries and bad thoughts⸺knowing that she was at the lowest point of her life⸺his presence gave her a sense of serenity. A spark of hope, whatever it meant. As if God sent him to her, to keep her faith in check. A smile bloomed on her visage once again… a sincere one this time.
ㅤ “I have faith in you, Keith.” She whispered before landing a kiss on the baby’s forehead. A giggle came out from the little creature, as if it was to reply to her.
ㅤ She then stood up and brought him in to report the newcomer of the family to the head nurse.

Guilty Pleasure

Author’s Note
Language & Writing- || for OOC thingy.
- Writer prefers to use English in most cases, but may write in Bahasa Indonesia if you wish.
- If using Bahasa Indonesia, all contents including dialogue might be written in Bahasa even though the character doesn’t speak the language. So, please don’t confuse him for speaking Bahasa! Let’s say it’s the translated version of a book.
- Apologize if the writing in both languages have grammatical errors or such! Especially the awkward and weird Bahasa. Writer is truly sorry and will try the best to improve.
- Writer doesn’t usually write in DM, but don’t hesitate to hit me up for casual IC talk, plot discussion, or just random OOC talk. However, writer doesn’t talk about real life matters.
- Also writer does not write smut or lewd!! Although Dark, Gore, or Violence are totally okay.
- Caution! Writer is slow and sometimes lazy, so response will likely be slow or late, depending on writer’s mood. Please don’t rush on replies! Even if you see me online, but not replying to the plot, don’t take it to the heart! Writing mood and musing is likely to be running low.Disclaimer- This is a work of fiction.

And there’s no way he would turn it down, knowing that he needed a job. And so, he’s always up to tame her dog if she’s busy or else. He’s only one call away.Currently NPC (Non-playable character) but who knows?
