Between Me and Brother

chapter 25

Today's weather is so cloudy, even the clouds don't support my special day. Last night I was filled with a very painful cry. Brother Tery said a clear word at all I don't understand.

And also, last night Umi and Abi did not celebrate my birthday. Wh why? Did they forget my birthday?

I just sat in front of the house sitting on a chair to relax. I'm still waiting for them to remember my 21st birthday.

Yeah! Even though I'm getting older, at least I'm going to be an older girl. The older I get, the more I think about the future. Problems are becoming more and more so and I have to learn all of that from now on.

"Where are you going?" I asked Abi who suddenly came out of the house in a hurry.

"Mh.. Going to Om Jaya's house, Mery's coming?" Answer smiled.

"Who is Om Jaya? Kok Mery did not know Abi had a friend here" I said confused.

"Lho! Didn't you ever bring Abi there? I forgot it" said Abi walking over to me.

Abi's gaze was astonished, I was the same. Finally Abi sat on the chair next to me. I looked at Abi who started to sit down.

"Dad! Koe neng opo seh?" Ask Abi again.

"Abi is why! Since when did Abi take me for a walk in Jakarta" I said snorting a little annoyed.

He was shocked and shook his head. I'm confused too. When did Abi take me on the road. As I remember Abi just drove me to the cottage, that's all.

"No deck. Ow hell! What's the matter? You have no memory of the deck, the deck" said Abi began to be confused.

Our conversation was not finished, just arrived Kak Tery out of the house and brought his favorite green bag. Looks like the shar'i clothes he wears are very good, he might want to go somewhere special.

"Where are you going, Ma'am? Come with dong." I said exclaiming.

Brother Tery turned his head, he looked at me and Abi who was sitting in the guest chair outside. Then Brother Tery immediately turned his face and searched for his goods in the bag.

"Search what?" I said. Brother Tery just turned his head, and did not answer my question anymore.

Abi was just staring at the behavior of Brother Tery who is not as usual to treat me like this. Then Brother Tery gave money of 200 thousand to me.

"Well, go and have some deck fun!" He said it was a little cold.

"This is Tery's money?" Abi asked annoyed.

"What does that mean? Why is this child the same?" My heart is suspicious of Brother Tery.

"Well, koe dino iki is your birthday. Sopo sneezed sing inget yen dudu Me!" He said he was upset and looked at me sharply. "It's money for you and your friend to eat. The rest ask for Umi or Abi. Ma'am wants to work first" he said, starting to leave me and Abi.

I was stunned by his attitude, I was shocked by his words. Who do you think I am? I'm his sister. How important is Tery's job to me.

Brother Tery used to put my activities first, my interests and everything about me. Even 5 years ago, brother Tery there Study tour in Bandung activities from school. But Kak Tery chose not to attend his school activities to celebrate my birthday.

But why is he so different now. Brother Tery is no longer himself, and since when did Brother Tery start work? Even I do not know it.

I fell silent as I looked at the money he gave me and put it on the table. Abi was upset, then looked at me with a sad feeling. They are the same, he does not remember my birthday or they forget my current age?

"Mmm let Abi count first well" he replied doubtfully.

"Enough! Adek knows now. Abi did not remember my 3rd birthday and Umi the 2nd time. Brother Tery always remembers the date and month of my birth. But Abi see now, how did Brother Tery treat me as his beloved sister?" I said with annoyance.

My eyes began to glaze over, I was still staring at the money. I was angry, angry, and sad on my birthday. Brother Tery seems to be keeping something from me, but I don't know what it is.

As if my mind was screaming out loud, my heart was like being torn with a very rough rock.

My head suddenly started to hurt, and I was like imagining someone being with me. He looked at me with sadness, I could not see his face.

Aarrghts! It hurts!

Shouting to Abi's surprise, I immediately held onto the head of a very sick part and my vision began to blur. I heard the screams of an anxious Abi. I just fell unconscious.

***

My body feels weak. It turns out I was lying on my bed. I glanced towards the tightly closed door. There was no sound at all, just that the clock of the second was ticking.

My head is so dizzy and still hurts. My lips were shaking violently and my body temperature was very hot. My breath was hot and my throat was sore. What's the matter? Did I start to have a fever?

"Eye!" Call me a little helpless to scream.

"Umi, abi" Call me again. Silent..

"Abs.. Ahhhh! Sick" Call three, I started to feel nauseous and it felt really bad. There was the sound of someone opening my room.

Print it! Kriet, though,,

Right I guess, there are people who enter my room and he is Indra and Kak Tery. They're together again? But I felt dizzy and very very nauseous as I tried to get up.

"Wait, don't do it. You need to rest" he shouted trying to grab me to stay lying down.

"Don't hold me!" My screams began to flare as Indra was about to hold my arm.

Brother Tery was still silent looking at me at the door, then his face looked very jealous of me. Why is Indra so to me, her reaction will create misunderstandings between Me and her.

No, this is not true. I should stay away from her, but why every time I say stay away from her my heart hurts more and more. What's the matter? My mind is beginning to worry.

"Mom!" I looked at Brother Tery.

Then Indra turned towards Brother Tery. Very dramatic, sister Tery just went and left us both in the room. What the hell is this.

"Quick! Sister Tery. Come on!" I shouted to Indra.

"For what? Wasn't he the one who wanted to go alone" he said in astonishment and put on a flat face.

"Stupid. Pursue him or will add misunderstanding between me and you!" I said threateningly, glaring. Indra was shocked, and immediately left my room.

He was trying to catch up to Kak Tery who was being attacked by his jealousy. But why do I feel heartache too? Did before I amnesiac, I ever have a taste for her? No! That's not possible. Mumamku.
