"I'm going to take a shower!“ M ran to get a towel after putting the bucket in the kitchen.
"Help the fish, will you?" ask Jerome to Jimmi. The guy nodded steadily.
"Who is in the bathroom?" amy asked Jerome and Jimmi who was busy cleaning the fish.
"There is M" replied Jimmi.
"You want to take a shower too?" Jerome asked without stopping slashing the fish he was holding.
Amy nodded. "Yes. But later. I want to call an old friend first" said the girl. He passed to his room.
"Uncle" Jimmi whispered. He looked around making sure Amy was gone and M hadn't finished bathing. "So I saw Aunt Anne again."
"What's he saying?" Jerome continued to clean the fish deftly. It seems right that he often does this.
"Auntie says we have to believe that Amy can face her own world." Jimmi rinses his hand then dumps the fish feces into a plastic bag and wraps it.
Jerome smiled. He cleaned the knife and put it back in its place. "Your aunt Anne was right. Amy needs to be independent. You don't have to worry." Jerome patted Jimmi's shoulder.
"Indeed Uncle isn't worried?“ Jimmi looked at Jerome with a look of disbelief.
"Of course I'm worried. I'm, right, his father" said Jerome with a small oddity. "But sometimes parents have to take care of their children. I believe Amy's a strong girl."
"Who wants to take a shower? I'm done." M out of the bathroom. Jimmi and Jerome stopped talking.
"Sana, call your brother Marsh. He's the one who's gonna take a shower."
"okay." M nodded and headed straight for Amy's room.
"Anyways, you don't have to worry about your sister." Jerome winks at Jimmi.
Jerome's words pierced Jimmi. She has considered Amy her sister for a long time. But hearing the bearded man say it made a painful pulse alight in Jimmi's chest.
"Am! I'm done!" I heard M screaming from the front. Before long the man ran into the kitchen. He was approaching Jimmi. "Jimm, Amy's on the phone with a guy!"
Jimmi frowned. "Who?"
"You must be jealous if you find out," seduced M.
"Whose exactly?“
"Jason Brant, Amy's friend from Elementary School."
Then the two laughed out loud, making Jerome shake his head. Jason once said his feelings for Amy in front of M and Jimmi in the fifth year of Elementary School.
"Jason yang—" Jimmi puffed his cheeks, spread his hands and walked like a sumo.
"Yes." Yeah." M and Jimmi laughed again.
"Why you? It's so nice to see." Amy appears with a towel wrapped around her neck.
"You just talked to that Jason guy, right?" Puffing his cheeks.
"Yes. You eavesdropping? Said he was moving to our school."
M widen eyes. "Seriously? Jimm, you're gonna have a rival, hahaha."
"What, anyway?" Amy flicked her towel and went straight into the bathroom without saying any more words.
"Isn't he a fat kid who likes Amy?" ask Jerome. He handed Jimmi a jar filled with spices to be sprinkled on the fish that had been cleaned.
"Well, even dad remembers!" exclaim M. "Now the boy has a competitor."
"Who?" ask Jerome quickly.
M embraces Jimmi and points at the guy with his hands behind his best friend's back.
Jerome just smiled with a loose laugh. "Fight on!" exclaimed the almost middle-aged man.
***********
"Can't." Amy returned two small boxes to the two girls in front of her.
"Please, Am. Please! I'm not one of the guys talking about you in the back, really," said one of the girls in the uniform so tight.
"Yes, please just this once," added the other girl. This one's uniform looks polite, it's just that his hair is dyed dark blue. Soon he will be called Mrs. Larry. "Please give it to Jimmi. He already thinks of you as his sister. He'd want to admit it's from you."
Amy shakes. Already several times the girls asked him to send some stuff to Jimmi. Amy always refused.
"Why don't you give it to yourself or put it under the table or over his bag when he plays basketball, as usual?"
"Ah, don't you know? He threw everything in his drawer or bag in the trash. Brutal, right?" The tight-fitting shirt scowled sadly.
"Yes. It's all because of Iren!" said the other girl furiously. "Since he sniffed you, Jimmi's not as friendly as he used to be. We also got the sap. If Iren were still here, we would've grabbed him."
Amy frowned. It was fitting that he never saw the guy sharing chocolate with M again. Her sister had obviously not received any items from her fans since going out with Weni. Amy can only get chocolate from Zack. Looks like the girls who used to be giving chocolate to M now shift their budget to the blunt guy.
"Please, Am. Give this to Jimmi." The blue-haired girl placed two black boxes in Amy's hand then hurriedly ran over before Amy returned them.
"Thank you!" the two girls shouted simultaneously while continuing to run.
"Hey! Wait!" Amy wanted to go after them but she knew it would be a waste. "Argh! Should've just been a grandson."
"What to check?"
Amy turned her eyes away and found a burly man in his school uniform had been standing about a meter away from her. The man's gray eyes looked at Amy with smiling lips. Amy recognized the smile.
"Jason?!"
"Amy?"
"Yes. Its me. Well, your appearance has changed a lot!" Amy nudged the guy's stomach.
"You are, too" said Jason with his heavy voice.
"Are you really Jason the fat guy? Don't you be someone else!" Amy checked the guy's face and body like a search.
"It's me, Am." Jason showed me his palm. A tanned birthmark is visible there.
"It's true you are, isn't it? How long do you diet to have a body like this?“ Amy's still checking Jason's broad shoulders.
"The diet has been tight for years" Jason said, interspersed with laughter. Amy laughed.
A ball almost hit Jason's head if he were late.
Amy turned around and shouted at the students playing basketball. "Hey, be careful playing!“
Someone walked over to Amy and the girl knew that the guy was causing the stray ball.
"Sorry" said the man when he confronted Amy. "I didn't intentionally."
"The game is right!“ Amy throws the ball hard at Jimmi. He also kicked Jimmi's leg who was wearing the same shoes as him. He said he would wear the shoes to school today and banned M and Jimmi from wearing the same shoes.
"Who is he?“ jimmi said, glancing at the big tall guy next to Amy. Then he cleaned his pants that Amy kicked.
"Hi, I'm a new student here. My name is Jason Brant." Jason held out a hand. "It looks like you're familiar with Amy."
Jimmi's laughter almost exploded. He watched Jason from head to toe. Then he looked at Amy questioningly.
"Yes, it's Jason, that's it" Amy assured Jimmi. "He's Jimmi, Jas." Amy turned her head towards Jimmi.
"Oh, Sister-in-law number two!“ Jason pulled Jimmi's hand and hugged her. "You grew up handsome, brother."
Amy patted her forehead looking at Jason's unchanging behavior. He used to call M with brother-in-law and Jimmi was called sister-in-law number two.
"Detach, Jason!“ Jimmi keeps Jason's body away from him. "It's you, huh?“
"of course. Who else, Brother?“
"Jason, don't use that call. Just call him Jimmi!" amy protest.
"Ah, sorry. That was a reflex just like that."
"It!" Amy gave Jimmi two small boxes that he had been holding. "From the two girls who forced me to give you that."
Jimmi opened the two boxes. A guitar pick and a Dexter keychain. Then he went and threw it in the trash.
"Hey, why are you throwing it away, Jimm?" scream Amy. The one being shouted at just waved into the air without turning his head. Jimmi continued to step into the middle of the court and resumed his basketball game.
"Am ... Your shoes? You guys wear couple shoes?“ Jason glanced at Amy and Jimmi's shoes alternately. Black shoes Naiki brand limited edition the same.
"No. My sister has, too," argued Amy.
"Right?“
Amy rolled her eyeballs. This isn't the first time someone has asked her about it today.
It all started when her father left again last week. Jerome gives expensive gifts to Amy, M and Jimmi. Each pair of limited edition shoes from a famous sports brand.
"For you to use jogging together," said Jerome at that time.
However, it turns out that the design and color of the three shoes are the same. Just a different number.
"There are only a thousand in the whole world" Jerome explained. "Dad to have to queue all night to get it. Plus dad hired a touts because one guy can only buy one pair."
"Why was he bought? Dad's son, right, only two," Amy protested accusing Jimmi. "The shoes are so expensive, aren't they, Dad?"
"Yes. That's why the three of you should take good care of it. Look, Amy, Jimmi's already my own son."
"Ha?“ Amy exhaled a rough breath. It was not a protest because Jimmi was bought as well. Why should the design be the same? "I don't want to wear the same stuff!“ amy Rajuk.
"Then you must compromise. Tell Marsh and Jimmi not to wear those shoes if you want to wear them."
And so, Amy finally pulled her advanced lips. But today he wants to explode again because Jimmi is wearing the same shoes.
"Sorry, I forgot." Amy still remembered Jimmi's innocent expression when she found him wearing the shoes his father gave her this morning in the hallway of Class X.
