Between Me and Brother

chapter 22

20 Minutes I cleaned the dust that was stuck in this book was finally done as well. But Ustadzah did not see me or come to me here. After cleaning, I walked out of the hall and went to the dormitory.

After a few minutes, I opened the unlocked door and threw my body on the bed. I took a deep breath and arranged it quietly.

Little by little, the fatigue disappeared. It's 11pm, why haven't my parents arrived yet? I thought I just crossed by.

I immediately got up and sat on the bed, my whole body feeling sticky and smelling like dust. Maybe when I cleaned the book, the dust stuck to my hijab and my robe.

Instantly a sense of wanting to refresh themselves crossed the mind, and without thinking about it long. I pulled the towel on the hanger near my bed.

I rushed into the bathroom. Refreshing with cold water, soap harmony is cheap but not cheap with the smell of fresh oranges.

My whole body feels fresh even if it just holds and smells the bar of soap.

After I finished taking a shower, I rushed into the dorm room which was very close by. I still use a towel and keep putting on the robe as well as the hijab. There's no way I'm going out naked with a towel.

I started to open my closet with pleasure. But when I looked, the closet was empty. There are no clothes left for me.

All mine is gone, there's no way that Lela, Princess and Willy would go with her parents carrying my clothes. It's very unlikely.

Where's gamisku? Where are all my underwear? Inevitably, I still use this dusty-smelling robe. How can there be no clothes left for me.

All the places I've been trying to find and very thoroughly I've been staring at them. But still there is none left.

I'm confused where else to look, who needs that much clothing? Time is satan! I thought grumbling in annoyance.

***

It was the same day, just a different hour. It was almost 2pm by now, but still no one picked me up.

When I was sick, they didn't visit. When I entered the race, Abi did not come. And now, ouch. Everything suddenly upset me. There was no food in the afternoon.

Now I'm really hungry, really hungry. The worm in my stomach kicked me in the stomach so that the frog rang simultaneously. The monster in my stomach roars very loudly.

I started to go to the kitchen to see. Just once my luck was very good in the kitchen, I could ask Aunt Yang in charge of making those always delicious dishes. Uhh! My mind is fucked up if I'm hungry like this.

I walked around like a man afraid of being discovered. Even my way to noiseless. I'm just scared, if Ustadzah sees me heading into the kitchen. Because there is a ban here.

"Here you go, you better just go. If you want coffee, you can make it yourself at will. I'm busy today" Auntie's voice was bubbling in the kitchen, sounding very upset at someone.

"Make me coffee one more time. I'm so sleepy, come on" The lethargic man's voice is like Mr. Tono's.

I started giggling behind the door, it was funny that Mr. Tono was seducing that very angry Aunt. But how do I get into the kitchen? I started to make sense.

"Ahh, I know." I said slowly. I immediately picked up the small stones that were all around me. Then I threw it towards Pak Tono's car lying under the mango tree.

If I can lure them out, then I'll find it easier to grab some food for me. My mind is very narrow if it feels this way.

One, two, Tig..

Dorr!!

"Gee! Dor," I cried hysterically, grumpily.

"Hayoloh, why. Want to turn away" said someone behind my back.

He just grinned while looking at me wildly. I don't know, what bad luck today could have met him with such an annoying thing. It felt like hitting him to the floor. But baby, he's a man. I'm not his match.

"Heh gulun, ngapain luh Ngendap-ngendap rich maling anyway. Want to popp ya? Sin tau!" Said. "Some of you are girls and .. Emmm" I immediately covered her mouth with my hand.

"Whisper! You just shut up. If you get to Aunt and Mr. Tono hear our talk. Watch you!" Said threatening.

He simply nodded and fell silent immediately after my hand released from the bow of his mouth that was carrying it.

I was about to throw a stone at the car, but failed to be surprised by his mischievous behavior. I tried to throw the second stone, while the man was still behind me in silence.

One, two, tig..

"Sir Tono, there's a crazy girl here!" His shout headed towards the kitchen and tried to run away from the yell just now.

"Iishh, Uushstt.. Usst. You idiot!"

Inevitably I also went with him and ran in a storm for fear of being caught by Mr. Tono. I swear, I'm really upset with that guy. Who's he. He always foiled my plans to pick up some food in the kitchen.

After my run with him was far enough away from the kitchen, drained all my energy just to run like a maling caught red-handed.

The cowo also snuggled while adjusting his breath with gasps. So do I. I feel weak and very thirsty right now. The drink I need.

Suddenly Ustad and Ustadzah came to us who were panting not clear.

"What are you guys doing here?" Tanya Ustad raised her right eyebrow.

"We've been looking for you everywhere. And it just so happens that you're here, Mery, Anton." Ustadzah was a little upset.

"Ah? Who was Umi? Anton!" I said wonder.

"Na'am. Next to you is Anton. He's the new Santri here." Ustad explained.

Oh, Anton's name is. A name that is very easy to understand and very easy to remember. I just suddenly smiled and saw her slightly cold face staring at me while cross-sectioned.

I encoded my eyes by showing her hands, it would be impolite if she crossed her arms and acted arrogantly in front of them.

But Anton only nodded once which signified that he did not understand what I meant.

"What the hell, not so obvious!" Anton said breaking the silence with level seven gas.

His speech was really like a sultry chicken, spicily leveled. Why would a man like him be put in a cottage like this. Is that true?

"Antone!" Ustad looked at Anton.

But there was not a slight change in his face. It is still the same cross and a very sharp twist to me and Ustad.

"Mery, umi tells you that you can't be picked up by Abi and Umi. They are busy, so you and Anton will go home today with Pak Tono's car. How's it?" Ustadzah reversed the view.

"What's? Same with him" I said as I pointed a finger at him.

Instantly Anton smiled and looked at me who was full of obscenity and then he showed by encoding his raised eyebrows is not clear.
