Between Me and Brother

chapter 4

The Bathroom.

In the morning greet, the sunlight is dimly lit in the glass window. I heard a noise in the bathroom, rustling like someone was brushing the floor loudly.

I got out of bed with a carpet roll. Last night we slept four on the same mat, with the exhortation and sound of music from Abi made it difficult for us to fall asleep soundly.

I stood with my body still staggered, dizzy. Too long in the car makes me still feel like I want to fly floating, wobbling like there is a small earthquake.

Carefully I walked close to the voice, hitting the wall to keep my balance standing upright.

Step by step I almost got near the bathroom, the distance in the living room to the bathroom was not so far away, because the rent of this house was a little smaller than the house in my village.

With eyes still feeling spicy due to lack of sleep, I greeted the person in the bathroom.

"Iku copo? Arep kebelet iki." I asked while holding my pee and leaning against the end of the wall near the bathroom door.

"Come, patience. Umi's skirt, deck!" Umi shouted in the bathroom, her voice resounding.

"Cepet tah Umi, iki Adek wes or strong iki loh!" Reply to my screams while holding back my pee. My feet are also tight.

Suddenly Tery woke up from his bed and walked while rubbing his eyes. It is clear, sister Tery would want to go into the bathroom as well, because the habit in every morning is a setor kriditan.

"Sir, nonggoni opo?" Ask Brother Tery while leaning against the wall side by side with me.

"Umi," I answered briefly, turning toward the bathroom door.

"Well, umi ngendi anyway." Ask Brother Tery, again.

"Opo seh Mbak, I iki nahan peed wes ora nguati loh. Sampean kok takon. Umi ono neng jero iki loh." I answered while pointing at the bathroom door, I was a little upset, because I was no longer strong if I waited for Umi to linger in the bathroom.

Brother Tery just replied with a flat face while slightly poking at his lips, and mocked me. He went to the living room, sat down on the floor.

Finally I banged on the bathroom door again slowly while shouting Umi to quickly get out. Umi simply returned my shout by answering "Yes".

Print it!

The sound of the door lock opened, it signifies that Umi has finished cleaning the bathroom.

I also started patting the bathroom door swiftly, but Kak Tery who was still sitting in the living room, he immediately got up and ran towards me while patting the bathroom door, and, when Umi came out, Brother Tery immediately charged inside and locked the door back.

I was only silent for a moment, gawking for a while and still trying to hold back my pee. Not long I immediately shouted out calling out the name of Brother Tery with teary eyes.

Abi who was still sleeping soundly, now woke up shocked by my screams and Umi who was continuing to clean up the goods was shocked at the same time.

"Ono opo dek, how come koe nangis?" Abi asked walking over to me.

"I'm loh, bi. Sister Tery main nyerobot wae in the bathroom. Adek kan wes ngenteni suwe." Answer me while crying.

"Well, uh, Tery. Snereng wes!" Shouted Abi banging on the bathroom door in confusion.

"But bi, mbak tesih mules!" Shouted Kak Tery unmoved filled the bathroom room.

"Let's wes, cepet yo. Kasian iki loh!" Answer Abi, relax.

Sitting on the sidelines, leaning against the wall. I sat cross-legged and still held back my pee.

Umi saw me from a distance away, she approached me with a smile. Once again the smile that Umi capitalizes for me who is upset. Approaching me just smile and say patient, patient and patient.

I sighed a little and took a moment. Although my heart was a little calm and my crying was a little better, I did not think that Kak Tery was fast enough in the bathroom.

He came out with a slightly cheerful face. I only returned annoyance while puffing my cheeks, like Brother Tery did when he was upset with me.

Umi fell silent, and laughed along with Abi and Kak Tery who obviously mocked me just for scrambling to enter first in the bathroom.

15 Minutes, I contemplated myself in the bathroom, singing, I calmed down a little.

Unimaginable, Brother Tery suddenly bangs on the bathroom door while shouting an exclamation reminding me that singing in the bathroom will be accompanied by the devil.

"Grandfather, ning bathroom ora by nembang, koe later in conconi demon gelem po ora!" He shouted while banging on the door.

"Astaghfirullah, klalen Ma'am!" My answer is stroking the chest.

"Hey. Neng bathroom iyo podo wae ora by neybut, adek." Brother Teru exclaimed back while reminding.

"Iyo-iyo sorry Ma'am, adek iki iyo klalen anyway" Shouted again annoyed.

Print it! The krieettt!

The sound of the bathroom door opening wide, I came out with a cheerful face happy that I was not holding back something that really made me uneasy.

I approached Umi and Abi who were waiting for me earlier in the living room to enjoy breakfast together. Because the new house is still empty, so we only had a potluck breakfast.

Abi and Kak Tery did not protest today, usually they are the most riweh at breakfast, it is basically the boys look the same clear attitude and behavior.

"Slack, clouds of opo ora melu Abi lungo?" Abi asked staring at me.

"Lungo mendi, Bi?" I looked back at him with questions.

Abi just smiled and went back to bribing his food greedily, I was still waiting for his answer when. But I firmly believe that Abi will take me to a place so beautiful, that I have never been before.

The sun was getting hot, covering Jakarta, Abi and I went together to explore Jakarta. Brother Tery who did not want to be invited ended up just silent in a rented that is still empty.

Abi wants to go somewhere, and make a deal with one he says was his best friend when Abi was a teenager.

I didn't expect that Abi had his old best friend here. Umi did not come with us, he preferred to sit sweet while preparing the items we brought from Jogja.

Abi used his cell phone to call ojek online . I thought Abi would call him on a motorcycle, but I was the one who misinterpreted it.

When the online taxi came, I cried out to be happy to be able to go around Jakarta with Abi.
