INCEPTIONS
Chapters 10
Fina spread her hands wide, her eyes staring at the twinkle on Kenzo who was walking towards her. They hugged each other, letting go of longing because Fina and Reyhan were out of the country for almost 3 days.
"Kangen tau ma". Kenzo said spoiled.
Fina chuckled softly, returning her son's embrace with no less forceful. Reyhan himself shook his head amusedly by pulling their suitcases into the room.
"Mama misses you too, really".
Kenzo outlined his embrace, looking at Fina with a beaming smile. Inwardly still hoping that beside him now stood Kenneth who was also hugging Fina. But alas, Kenneth is going out this weekend. I don't know what Kenneth is doing out there. To be sure, he knew Kenneth was trying to avoid Fina and Reyhan. Their parents.
"Kok daydreaming anyway, mama has souvenirs for you". Said Fina who led Kenzo into the living room.
Kenzo was still smiling, watching his mother open the large suitcase Reyhan had set aside earlier. Fina took out a white and black paper bag, then thrust it at Kenzo.
"There you go!!!". Fina said cheerfully.
"What the hell!!". Kenzo was enthusiastic, his hand moved to open the paper bag.
Instantly his eyes grew sparkling, looking at the futsal Jersey he had dreamed of all this time. "Thank you ma!!". Kenzo said cheerfully.
Fina nodded with a sweet smile, looking back at Kenzo who opened one more paper bag.
"Tumbler?". Kenzo said for a moment.
Fina nodded. "Who knows how useful it is, right? Simpen only".
Kenzo scratched his head in confusion, but he smiled again and stored the items into a container.
"Thank you ma".
"Beloved together". Fina patted her son's shoulder.
Kenzo still glanced at the suitcase next to Fina. There are many paper bags but with a feminine color, he is sure it has Fina. Her father was not the type to shop, so the cute colored paper bag in the suitcase had Fina.
He already had his rations, but he was still looking for something.
"Why Zo?". Fina asked who looked strangely at Kenzo who was still in a daze looking at her luggage.
"Where's Kenneth?".
Fina fell silent. He tidied his suitcase and stood up, pulling his suitcase to go to the room.
"He is not an important person to be given gifts". Said Fina who immediately walked into the room.
Brak!!
Fina jumped almost dropping her suitcase down. Then turned around and looked towards Kenzo who was standing panning coldly at him.
"Kenzo why you? Then the prize why did you throw?".
Kenzo was still silent with a reddened face, looking at his mother who had not changed either.
"Kenneth is important to me, it's up to my mom to get rich. I'm with Kenneth twins, forever twins". Said cold.
Fina became silent.
"Because we're twins, so be fair. If Kenneth doesn't get a gift, it means I won't get a gift either".
Kenzo took back all the paper bags he threw earlier. Then force Fina to accept the item.
Fina looked at her son who walked up the stairs, then entered the room.
He subconsciously dropped the suitcase as well as a paper bag in his hand.
"ARGHHHH!!!". Fina shouted while ruffling her hair. Reyhan who realized the scream immediately ran to his wife.
"Fina you why?".
"YES!! KENZO HATES ME, ALL THIS BECAUSE OF THAT FUCKING KID".
"THE BOY SHOULDN'T BE HERE, HE SHOULD BE GONE!!".
Reyhan who understood something immediately grabbed his wife, chanting the word patiently for the woman's calmness.
"You calm down Fin, don't get angry".
Fina didn't stop. "CAN'T DO IT!! I WON'T CALM DOWN BEFORE THE BOY GETS OUT OF THIS HOUSE, I CAN'T BE HATED BY KENZO!!".
Fina kept shouting, swearing at her other child. Unaware of Kenneth pecking at the doorway of the garage, he heard a scream echoing inside the house with a sad face.
His heart is like a thousand stones. Be ill. At least he did not move to turn around, his legs were forced to settle down, his ears were forced to hear the painful words, and his heart that received was instantly squeezed.
His intention of going home to see his parents' faces from afar was very difficult, even the house and contents no longer accepted him. Kenneth can only imagine with a mediocre picture, because he himself also has only a few beautiful memories with his parents. He even forgot the last time they held him, like when Fina hugged Kenzo earlier.
"THAT KID SHOULD BE DEAD!! NOT KEVIN!!".
With gathered intent, Kenneth dragged his feet back all the way to the car.
In Kenzo's room sat on the edge of the bed. His breath hunted with tears that did not stop. His hands tightly squeezed his hair, to vent an ever-draining anger.
It never stops and keeps growing.
It was frustrating to think of her abnormal family. His family is defective. It was painful to know her parents hated their own child, let alone her twin brother.
Kenzo just wants his family to be like it used to be. Stay happy even if you lose a member. Keep living the day as a peaceful family with no hatred in it. Natural and not made up.
But it seems like it is just an illusion. The days he spent in the house were like hell.
They all seem hypocritical. It is considered a rich and harmonious family. Expanding happiness to people without ever showing the slightest gap.
That's the only shortage they cover. Until he was known as the only rich child. Her parents proudly showed her off as the only precious diamond. Without ever wanting to show Kenneth as another diamond they have to look after.
They always close their eyes to it.
If I can be honest. It felt like Kenzo was yelling at everyone that his family was fake. Happy on the outside and cover all the bumps in it. He hated situations like this. His parents only rely on his prestige and attention to others. Without ever trying to come to terms with the shortcomings of his own family.
They seem to enjoy it. To never realize one member of his family was very hurt, even for years. Never forgiving or returning.
Now Kenzo is very confused. What kind of warm family people talk about. He never felt anything in his family.
Happy and disappointed as one.
It was the only thing that continued to evolve in his life.
