Arriving at home he is shocked by an unusual sight. There is a matic motorbike parked in front of the house, Ira recognizes the motorbike belongs to his older brother Ayu. He was happy because ka Ayu came home to visit but his feelings were not good about this.
"Thank you Ki." said Ira who immediately rushed to the house.
From outside the house there is a debate between Ayu and her mother. Ira knows from the many debates some of them must be talking about Ira's life.
"Ka?" greet Ira who is standing in the doorway.
He stopped the discussion with his mother.
"Home home? same who?" ask kakanya.
"Yes the same Iki." Ira opened her shoes and went into the room followed by her brother.
He looked at his sister who was changing uniform tops with plain white shirts. After hanging up her shirt, veil and bag she sat on the bed staring back at her brother.
"All skirts change!"
"Will be lazy." Ira while selonjoran.
"Eat yu? keep bringing food from the restaurant" he said sitting rubbing Ira's hair.
"Now, usually don't eat."
"So you want to go for Nginep? come here by yourself?" Reciprocity.
"Not really just looking at the door, tomorrow's work."
Ira just nodded looking at the ayu who kept looking at her. You're clear that she's worried about Ira's relationship with her mother back home. It was clear from his eyes that there were so many questions he wanted to ask but never said.
"Now I want the PKL" Ira said breaking the silence.
"When? big pay?"
"One more month, yes it must be the same daily cost as well."
"Yes talk later again, for snacks." gave money 200 thousand.
"Don't do it, just give it a try."
"Teteh deliberately set aside money, make adek-adek also exist. It's for ira." keep it on the bed.
"Thank you."
"Yuk eat? tteh wants to pick up Sindi and Nesti. Tia later in the sisain because already go play." said Ayu woke up from sitting out of the room went to the grandmother's house.
There was no sound in the house other than the sound of a fan. Maybe his mother is sleeping or whatever because she rarely goes out of the room and Ira is too.
His phone vibrated there was an incoming call that made Ira still smile. I guess that was from Ari. Ira rarely gives time or feelings to men who try to approach her because she is not too interested in romance.
For now for him love is just nonsense that means nothing just wasting time and hurting yourself.
But either Tomorrow if he meets a man who manages to soften his heart what he will say later.
"Yes." answered his call.
"Home home?"
"It's falling on the bed."
"Eat first."
"Yes later."
"Later to shower don't dance and yes? ordinary ones!"
"Why?"
"I like the usual you."
Ira smiled embarrassedly at hearing that.
"Where is emang?"
"It's work again."
"Oh yes, I continue."
"Yes, don't forget to eat!"
"Yes." turned off the phone.
I heard someone open the door.
"Tea" Sindi called.
"Yeuuu" Ira got up from her bed out of the room.
"Well eat?" said Nesti.
Ira just nodded, they all walked into the kitchen. Ayu opened the food she brought, Sindi brought some dishes and they sat on the floor gathered ready to eat.
There is kale stir fry, grilled sea fish with ginger chili, Krispy squid and shrimp oyster sauce. What they miss when they are far apart is eating together, only the brothers because if hope with the parents it is impossible.
"Call Hes' mother" said Ayu telling her sister.
"Surely he refused." said Ira.
"It used to be possible to refuse but what now would he do? there is a need." Ayu replied.
Sure enough he had to go back with his mother.
"Mother had eaten earlier." sat next to Ayu tasting the fish.
"Create Tia?" sis asked.
"It's on the table!" answer Ayu.
"Yes please eat mom's headache." wake up leaving.
Ira just looked at her mother who returned to the room without looking at her.
"That's how!" muttered Ira.
They started eating.

"Busett lager what do you think?" said Sindi to Hesti who ate a lot of kale stir-fry.
"Laper is right." replied Hesti.
"Say if you eat a lot of kale later sleepy?" said Nesti.
"Don't worry kale, if you eat a lot of mah emang innate drowsiness." reply Ira.
"But Sindi does not eat kale suddenly sleepy!"
"Lah you're a moleman haha!"
"You have a loba the longest sleep Sindi will be a champion deh." continued Ira.
"Iya Sindi champion, but if there is a race abis sleep hard to wake up then definitely will be champion hahaha." Sindi retaliates against Ira's taunts.
"Sama there is a race rarely shower Hesti champion hahaha." continued Sindi.
"Loh ko?" Hesti put on a astonished face.
"When did you take a shower at school?" ask Sindi.
"Mandy."
"But yesterday afternoon you didn't take a shower."
"It's that people want to sleep that they have to take a bath" replied Hesti.
"It's clean." Sindi insisted on winning.
"Lo used to shower and not clean. Why does your skin keep items haha?" Hesti scoffing.
"Ka Ayu, aren't Ira interested?" rengek Sindi who saw Ayu and Ira laughed.
"Lo is an item so a shower does not make a difference either hahaha."re Ira mocked Sindi.
They were all laughing out loud.
"It was also sweet" said Ayu.
"That right?" sindi answered happily.
"It's so pretty, so beautiful so don't look pretty where it's from hahahah." said Ira.
Hesti laughed when Ira mocked Sindi.
"Udah already Sindi is beautiful, want to be told also if people need" said Ayu.
"Yes very good compared to Hestimah" said Ira.
"Well, is that what Ira is?" hesti protests feel betrayed.
"Sindi is beautiful, too."
"Yes, pretty ciee." Hesti seduces Sindi.
"Cieeee!!" Ira was flirting.
"Maha." Sindi laughed embarrassedly.
"Holding watch out for flying hahaa." Ira holds sindi's hand.
"Will not be able to fly to the roof tile haha." replied Hesti.
They all ate together enjoying that time before his brother went back to work. Since his brother works and lives there let's not eat together meet is also rare. Just talking over the phone to ask each other the news.
Although Ayu does not forbid anything Ira does but she always feels awkward because their relationship is also closed to each other. Sometimes Ira wants to tell Ayu everything she's natural just that she doesn't feel ready for it.
Being lived by her older brother works initially so uncomfortable because she is not just a kaka, but has become a surrogate mother for Ira and her sisters.
But for Ira it's even better if Ayu isn't home so she won't feel any pain in silence when she sees what Ira is doing.
If it is compared to the word as if he knew Ira was drinking poisonous tea but he could not stop because he did not have a substitute drink for that tea. It is better to let Ira drink the poisonous tea than to let her suffer from thirst. He did not drink and feel the effects but he was the one who knew the most of his pain from this moment on.
