Between LOVE or MONEY

Between LOVE or MONEY
Winnowing



Lexi spurred the speed of the matic motor in her hand, Lia tightened the grip on Lexi's waist, like the two would fly in the wind. Lexi drove at the speed of her motorcycle as much as possible


"Lexy!! Are you crazy! "Shouted Lia behind Lexi's field back


"Holding the eeeeraaattt!!"lexi shouted increasingly spur the speed of their scooter. The blow on her back was not cared, all Lexi remembered was her mother's face when later she would be disappointed because Lia came home late tonight, not late! Not exactly going home.


After driving the speed on the deserted road, Lexi rested the scooter between the narrow walls between the houses, where they lived, both of them sneaking open the rusted iron gate.


"Lexi, slow down the sound of your feet!" Lia warned her cousin. Lexi shrugged, she was already trying to settle as quietly as possible like a thief! His shoes are still heard.


Lia pushed the wooden door slowly, usually her aunt woke up at this morning, only lately aunt was not healthy, it does not mean it is good, they can come home late without being caught like this.


"Lexiii, is that you?" Apparently not! They've obviously been found out. Aunty's voice asked from inside the room, leaving Lia and Lexi aghast. Lexi set her face, but she just had to make a sound.


"Well, it's Lexi!"


"Why do you always come home late!" Omel aunt with her screams.


"Do you know where Lia is?" lexi glanced at Lia who was next to her, The girl looks so awkward, she is not used to lying.


"A, I'm here bi!" Lia immediately stepped into the aunt's room with a guilty face, Lia slowly pushed the door of the room apart


Aunty looked at Lia's face with nano, between anxious but also disappointed, behind there Lexi's face made the look of her face stiffen.


"Did you guys go together? "


Lia did not reply, making the aunt's gaze even sharper on her son.


"Lexi, did you take Lia out last night? "


Lexi joined the room, she glanced at Lia a moment ago


"Well, we went together"


"What say! " Aunty's face was clearly angry


"Why have you never done the right thing! Why now do you dare to involve Lia in your affairs!!" Without a shadow of aling-aling again the aunt immediately nagged Lexi.


"Well listen first" Lexi tried to interrupt, but made aunt's tone rise.


"What should I hear from the lips of an unemployed youth like you! Stop making trouble and think about your life! Why you brought Lia into your life. You know I hate that so much!!" Shouting auntie still in a high tone, Lia tried to mediate, just that the high tone between Lexi and auntie did not make enough room for Lia's voice


"Have a listen to me!!"


"What should I hear from you, there's nothing I need to hear from you!! I'm really sorry I gave birth to you!!"


"Biii.."


"Why did you say that to me?!" Lexi defiantly


"Why am I afraid to say that to you, I've wanted to say all this for a long time!! What you can do in this life is just troublesome all your life!!"


"Oh well alright!!"


"Bii. lexiii.." - Lia shrieked with a pale face


"Just leave this house, there's no point in living here!!"


"Oh of course, who would be at home like this, who would be at home here, a rat??"


Lia didn't know who she used to calm down, did her aunt's pale tense face. Lexi's angry face was insulted. Lia doesn't know where to go first, she's confused herself.


BRAAKK!!


The sound of the slammed wooden door made aunt and Lia soar in surprise. Lia's trying to catch Lexi. But Lexi's footsteps are too long and fast to hold.


"Lexy.. Lexi, please listen to me first, Lexi.it!!" Lia's shout only got a warning, Lexi left the house.


"Even he hasn't had time to eat and sleep." grunts Lia upset herself to see Lexi's back shrinking. Of course Lia was worried about Lexi. Lexi shouldn't be a cushion, Lia who wants to work at the club, has nothing to do with Lexi. It's all because of him.


He returned home with a face full of regret.


"Since the beginning I've been working there wrongly!" 


"I should never have set foot there, Why do regrets always come later!"annoyed Lia regretted her fate. He went back to aunt's room. Now that Lexi is gone and aunt is unwell, Lia is frustrated.


"Biii.." call Lia in a soft voice


"I'm sorry, Lia, Lexi shouldn't have asked you and forced what you shouldn't do." - in her soft voice as if to apologize to Lia


"Bi, this isn't Lexi's fault" Lia tried to explain, but her aunt cared. In her eyes Lexi was a rebellious child, and Lia was a rose to be protected.


"Auntie knows how you are, Lia. Even though you defended her and said a lot of things, still, Lexi was the Lexi that auntie knew!"said aunt does not want to be denied again.


Lia was getting confused, everything was going to be complicated, This was all because of her ridiculous decision. What about aunt and Lexi's relationship. Lia had already given Lexi a bad stamp in front of her mother, how would she have to fix all this?


"Bi, Lexi's not that bad bi" Lia was still trying to explain.


"It's Lia, forget her, even so she's rotting down the street, it's all out of her own will" auntie never got this long. all this time if aunt is disappointed with Lexi she'll just grumble and get angry. But the swear and swearing sentences earlier, it really is out of the habit of aunt.


"Auntie is here to look after you Lia, what will aunt tell your mother if aunt fails to take care of you.." ah of course, 


so all this is because of Lia! To the extent that aunt forgot her conscience. It must have been hard for aunt to say such a bad word to Lexi, but for Lia's sake, she did all that.


"Bi, Lexi is indeed not a great man, he is indeed not a son to be proud of like a child about us.." Lia slowly tried to explain once again she was unyielding.


"Bi, for me Lexi is not a bad sister.. I know aunt also realized that right?" Lia's words made aunt's eyes glaze over.


"Auntie is just mad at Lexi, aunt is not serious about saying everything right, aunt is so in love with Leksi bi, we can't live without her, even though sometimes she sucks!" Lia gave a hug with teary eyes. Aunty could no longer hold back her feelings, she began to cry. Lia has a point too.


"Lia, you have such a good heart, you say something beautiful, you make me feel calm and comfortable, I'm sure someday God will repay all your kindness.."


"No bi, for me this family is a kindness.." lirih Lia tightened her arms.


"Auntie has to take medicine and rest, I'll find Lexi, I'll finish everything. I'm sorry that all this happened because of me" Aunt nodded her head slowly. He's really sorry.


"Thank you Lia"

Lexi left the slum with a crimson face, a strong jolt of her feet as if it could damage the streets, dusty pavements, a got that smelled bad. Lexi's feeling even more upset and angry.


He clenched fists


BUCK!!


His fist landed on an iron pillar not far away where he had been standing, fisting with all his might. Blood started to flow from between his fingers, but he did not feel it. Just want to keep on emotional.


"SIIAYALLAAANNN!!" His screams were full of anger.
