He Is Not My Brother's

Forgive Me

The days are so fast passing for people who are not looking forward to anything in the future. This year's dry season Amy has been sitting in class XII. The days have never been so short for that girl. Amy continues to struggle to get good grades in every subject. He wanted to be a criminologist and his determination was unanimous.

Amy looks forward to her days back with her brother, also with Jimmi. Actually that's not the main purpose. She wants to be back with her two loved ones but Amy is old enough to set her priorities. The girl had fought hard all semester to achieve her goals. Amy looks forward to the day when she can correctly guess the motives of a criminal, or devise a chronology of a crime. At worst, he could be a journalist covering crime.

"Am, we learn together again today?“ asked Lewis who was suddenly diligent in learning since taking XII class.

"It seems that it can't. I want to practice karate" replied Amy, who was serious about reading a book while munching on potato chips noisily.

"Why don't you just stop? We will soon be not allowed to join any club" Lewis said as he picked up Amy's potato chips.

"That's the problem. Before club activities aren't allowed, I want to change belts."

"Again?“ ask Lewis astonished.

Amy closes the book and looks at Lewis, then nods. "Yes. I want a black belt," he said steadily.

"You're so ambitious, anyway...."

"There's nothing wrong with that, right?“ Amy fingered her chip bag. Blank. He turned to Lewis whose hands were full of potato chips. "Ck! Buy yourself, dong, Lew!“ Then he reached into his bag and took out a chocolate bar he got from Zack. That guy's still the barn where Amy gets those delicious chocolates.

Lewis just chuckled then he waved and went outside the classroom.

"Am!“

Amy knew exactly whose voice it was. He saw Zack who was definitely sitting on the front bench, was looking at it and soon would ask for help.

"Help me. Help make an end-of-term speech, huh?"

Nah, right!

Amy put a chocolate bar in her mouth. The girl raised her eyebrows.

"How much do you want chocolate?“ ask Zack. The guy understands that Amy's easier to bribe with sweet foods.

Amy did not answer. He chews his chocolate casually.

"Five chocolate bars Silverking big size?“ Zack did not notice the change in expression of his classmate. "Plus two liters of guava juice."

Amy hurriedly shakes up Zack. "Deal," he said.

Zack breathed out slowly. "In the public library, three hours?“

"Aah!" Amy patted the jidat. "Today I can't. Tomorrow at homek—Larry." Amy almost admitted that the house she was living in now was her home.

"okay." Zack turned around then he reached into something in his bag. Two large chocolate bars were grabbed and then handed over to Amy. "That's his face money," said Zack. Then the guy left Amy.

"Trims." Amy grinned. He tidied the chocolate into a bag and then went back to reading the book as if nothing had happened.

*******

*Am, I'm sorry. Me and M can't go home this semester. We're working on a campus science project and that we can't just leave it. I'm so sorry. I hope you understand.

Who misses you, though,

Jimmi*

...

Amy throws her phone into the bed and jumps in. The sound of bolsters lying down then hit him many times until the contents scattered. The girl gasps. Now his feelings are beginning to subside.

In the study cupboard is a photo of Amy with M and Jimmi kissing her cheek. He took the photo with a huff.

"So, your science project is more important, huh?" amy muttered as she shook the photo with the light brown wood frame. "You promised to go home, didn't you?"

Amy throws the photo, again to the bed. He did not until his heart broke the photo of memories when M and Jimmi graduated it.

"Aaarrrggghhh!!“

Amy was sitting limp on the carpet floor. Then slowly he pulled himself to lie down.

"Amy?! You okay?“ I heard Jimmi's mother scream from outside.

Amy reflex is up. He removed the bolster along with its contents that collapsed to the side of the bed. There was a knock at the door.

"Amy, are you okay?"

Amy tidied up her hair and clothes before opening the door. "Yes, why, Bi?"

Mrs. Larry looked at Amy and then spread his gaze across the room. "Why are you yelling?"

"Ah .. I thought there was a cockroach under the study table, it wasn't, '" Amy replied with her fiction.

"Oh, so. Just surprise me."

"Sorry, Bi."

"Yes, already. Let's go get breakfast!“ bring Mrs. Larry.

"A little while now, Bi. I haven't cleaned up the books."

Mrs. Larry nodded then he went down the stairs to the dining room.

Amy immediately cleared up the mess in her room. He was almost caught in the middle of a rampage by Mrs. Larry. If Jimmi's mother knows, she's gone. Amy could get the law to replace Merry cleaning the house for one week. Amy once got the sentence when she damaged Mrs' beloved flowers. Larry grew up around the gazebo. Fortunately, this time he survived.

*******

"Hey, pick up the phone!“ zack exclaimed as Amy's phone shook for the umpteenth time.

"Not to." Amy took the phone and turned it off. "We go on!"

"It looks like it's an important phone, Am. Why didn't you answer?“ ask Lewis who is also studying with Amy and Zack in the gazebo Mrs. Larry.

"It doesn't matter. It's from a prankster." Amy continues her research on social integration.

Two in my heart ...

Zack hurriedly picked up his phone. He walked out of the gazebo. "Hello? Yea? Oh, I'm studying with him." Zack glanced at Amy. "Oh, okay ...." The man wearing a mint green sweater then approached Amy and handed her his phone.

"From who?" ask Amy. He hasn't received Zack's phone yet.

"Your boyfriend."

Amy receives Zack's phone then presses the red button without hesitation.

"Hey! Why turned off?“ ask Zack who got his phone back from Amy.

"If he calls again says I don't want to be disturbed."

"Whoaaa, what is this? You guys quarreling?" Lewis closes the book and approaches Amy. Soon his phone was shaking too.

"Hello?“ said Lewis. "Ah, yes. Okay." Okay."

"Who?“ ask Zack to know.

"Jimmi."

"She's just Amy?“ lick Zack.

"No."

"He reminds me to go online tonight. We want to play an online game together."

Amy was inflamed hearing Lewis's words. It feels upset to know Jimmi has time to play online games. Wasn't he and his brother too busy to go home?

"This, Zack. Your speech is already done." Amy handed Zack a flash. "We've done the sociology, Lew. I have other business" said the short-haired girl, tidying up her laptop and books and leaving behind Zack and Lewis, who realized that the situation was not good.

*******

*Are you still angry, Am?

Jimmi*

...

Amy took a deep breath. Either that email an apology to how many of Jimmi. Every day he gets at least one e-mail from him with the same core. After Amy turned off Jimmi's phone from Zack's phone, the boy never called her again.

"Hey, Amy. How was your first kiss? Make deg-degan, right?“ asked Val who was raising his glass of juice in the school cafeteria.

Amy sipped the guava juice until it ran out. Things like this that he always tried to avoid.

"Don't be shy, come on! Tell us when did you do it with Jimmi's sister?" sifa.

Amy wanted to run away from where she was sitting. Did she ever kiss her sister's best friend? Jimmi always keeps his distance when they are dating. Where there is a first kiss!

Waitaminute! Amy remembers something, when the moon is full and she lies to M.

"I don't remember" Amy said at last.

"Yes, geez! This kid! As if it wasn't important!“ Val breaks the table, gets people's attention on him.

"I don't think that's important." Amy got up and left her two best friends in the cafeteria.

*******

Amy never again attempted to contact Jimmi or her sister. That girl is stubborn. Once he decides not to know, he will. He no longer reads emails from Jimmi.

His books and friends became runaways for his disappointment. Amy even hangs out in public libraries until they close. He also began to often stay at the place of Val or Sifa.

Larry's house is the last place Amy wants to go, especially the room she lives in now. The room reminds Amy of the original owner. Moreover, Jimmi's belongings are still intact in their respective places.

Amy always felt claustrophobic every time she saw it all. He blames himself for having such unhappy feelings. And he hated himself who couldn't get rid of that feeling.

"Amy, why haven't you slept at home lately?“ ask Mrs. Larry was once when they had breakfast together. "Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable here?"

"Sorry, Aunt Magda. I just have a job together. It just so happened to be late so inevitably had to stay over," Amy replied before biting a piece of bread.

"Ck! Don't be like Jimmi!“ exclaim Mrs. Larry. "Sleep at home. Just take your friend who's staying here."

Since then, Amy has never slept in her friends' house again. But he also did not sleep in the room. Amy chose to sleep on the living room sofa located in front of the room. The girl insisted on not staying in Jimmi's room for long.

*******

A semester is almost over. Amy lives her life by busying herself with anything. Anything that prevents him from facing solitude. He never contacted his brother and girlfriend again. When they contacted her, Amy ignored her.

"Am ..!“ Olie waved at Amy sitting in the school garden with a box of guava juice and a fictional book.

"What's up?“ ask Amy astonished. It's not usually that super handsome guy looking for her.

"Mrs. Larry called you."

With just that one sentence, Amy immediately met the person who became her guardian. He knocked on the door and entered after being invited.

"Your exam was good" said Mrs. Larry flat. "There's actually something I need to tell you. Don't come home late today. We'll talk at home after dinner."

"Eh? At home?“

"Yes." Yeah." Mrs. Larry put his fingers on the table. "It's too long if we discuss it here. We'd better talk at home."

Amy frowned. "About what is it, Ma'am?“

I doubt Mrs. Larry replies, "About .. school."

Amy did not speak anymore. He then resigned and resumed his activities.

This afternoon Amy actually wanted to visit the public library. There is a routine activity carried out by the community of book lovers there. Of course, Amy had to cancel her intentions.

After karate practice, Amy came home. He went straight to a different room upstairs. The opening of the door to the room that was not tightly closed, made Amy sure that Merry was cleaning her room.

However, what he found was two men who were asleep on their stomach in his bed. Amy dropped her bag. He took the iron ruler at the study table and then hit the two men.

"Wake up! Don't sleep here!" snapped Amy. He knows exactly who the two are.

"We're tired, Am. Let us sleep first" said one of them.

"Banguun!“ Amy hit them harder.

"Sickness, Am!“

"Go to bed in the lower room!“ drive Amy.

"The key is not there. I haven't come home."

"Ck!" Amy throws the ruler back to the study table. "Like you guys!“

"Hey, don't you miss us, Am?“

Amy looked at her brother's face in annoyance. "No!“ jutek replied. He opened the closet and took some clothes.

"But I miss you!“ Jimmi flips over and sees Amy still wearing the school karate club uniform.

"That's your problem, not mine!“ The girl also left by slamming the door hard.

"seen? He's furious big, M!“

"He's mad at you, not at me."

"That's right. He's pissed at you too!“

"So she'll be good to me again."

Jimmi took a breath. "I forgot how to make it good again."

"This time he was really angry" said M. She knew Amy was angry with her. "It should be when he comes, we get up and hold him, Jimm."

"really. Then we'll do it when he gets back."

When the door of the room opened again. M and Jimmi get up and shout, "Amy!“ However, their movement stops knowing that Amy is not coming.

"Why are you two here? Where's Amy?“ Mrs. Larry stood at the door with wide eyes.

"He ...."

"I'm here, Bi!“ amy from behind the couch. He took a shower and changed his clothes.

"You two, get out of this room. Put your room down, Jimm!"

"Key?“

Mrs. Larry rushes to his room and gives his youngest child a key. "You can't enter a girl's room carelessly!“

Seriate...
