PATCHOULI & VANDAM

52

Vandam opened his eyes after being exposed to the incoming light between the curtains.

He was shocked when he saw it was morning and again he was not in his room.

"Isn't this Nilam's room?" vandam finally woke up.

Vandam was again surprised when he did not wear a thread. Her naked body was covered in a blanket.

"What's going on?" muttered Vandam trying to remember what happened.

Because he could not remember, Vandam woke up from the bed, still enveloping his body using a blanket. He looked for Nilam in all the rooms in the room but there was none until he finally realized that it was 8 am and maybe Nilam had gone to campus.

Vandam clucked, his eyes unintentionally staring at the table where there was a clean change of clothes as well as a cup of coffee complete with cake for breakfast and a piece of paper containing Nilam's handwriting.

Good night, sister, have a good day.

Vandam was really made to gawk with the contents of the letter.

"What happened last night?"

Vandam tried to remember something, yesterday afternoon after taking Nilam, Vandam was upset with Nilam until he drank quite a lot of alcohol. Drunk Vandam drives his motorcycle to Nilam's cake shop, which also houses Nilam.

After that, Vandam did not remember anything.

"Damn!" hisses Vandam.

Vandam decided to take a bath first so that his mind returned to normal and could remember everything.

After the bath, Vandam breakfast coffee and cake prepared by Nilam but again he still did not remember what happened.

"Maybe I didn't do that last night with Nilam?" guess Vandam "If you are, I really lose it because I'm drunk again!" pissed Vandam.

While enjoying breakfast while daydreaming, the door of the room opened, Vandam was surprised to see Nilam enter the room in casual clothes.

"Would you wake up?" greeting Nilam kindly made Vandam astonished.

If something happens last night, maybe Nilam will be angry and hate him again but now Nilam looks ordinary even not angry at all.

"What happened last night?"

Nilam did not answer just a long sigh made Vandam more curious.

"Say what happened last night? Did I rape you again? Why did I wake up without clothes on?"

"Did you forget?"

Vandam nodded, "I don't remember anything at all."

Nilam clucked, "It's a shame."

"Don't drive me crazy Nilam, tell me what happened last night?" Vandam is really getting curious.

"His brother, forget it. I have to go downstairs to help Nisa" said Nilam wanting to turn around but his hand was held back by Vandam.

"Are you off for college?"

Nilam nodded, though,

"Then, let's go home. You said you wanted to see Mom and Riki."

Nilam's face turned happy, "Seriously Brother? Want to drive me?"

Vandam nodded, "But tell me first what happened last night?"

Nilam rolled his eyes lazily, "I don't think I can tell you that."

Vandam clucked, He's getting curious. Really drive him crazy.

"Did we do it last night?"

Nilam opened his laptop and showed me the cctv footage in his room last night "Your mind is too perverted!"

Vandam thought he had done something to Nilam but it turned out to be wrong. Nilam kissed her first. Vandam stared at the embarrassed Nilam while watching their kissing video.

"I was drunk last night too" Nilam told a lie to cover up his embarrassment.

"If something happens it's not me who starts" Vandam continued watching.

After giving up his kiss, nothing pleasant happened but instead made Vandam ashamed because he vomited, the effect of the alcohol he drank.

Vandam dirtyed his clothes and the floor of Nilam.

"That's the reason why I took off Brother's shirt, there's no way I'll let you sleep in dirty clothes." explained Nilam.

After Nilam took off all of Vandam's clothes, Vandam confidently slept in Nilam's bed while Nilam was still cleaning his dirty floor.

Lastly, Vandam watched Nilam cover his body and Nilam come out of the room.

"I'm really sorry to bother you" said Vandam.

"It doesn't matter if you're old brother now you want to take me to the village."

"Alright, prepare. We're leaving now."

With a fluffy smile, Nilam prepared and the two went down together making Nisa surprised.

"How come you can be here? Though earlier I did not see mas go up." Nisa wonder

"Nice overnight she stayed."

Nisa's face immediately gawked, "Mbak, really? Sleeping together?"

Nilam laughed, "No, I slept in the next room. I'd ah want to go first Nis, if tired just close the shop."

"But where are you going?" ask Nisa.

"You want to walk." Vandam replied making Nisa smile as if understanding the meaning of the road referred to by Vandam.

The two enter the car and Vandam starts driving his car towards Nilam's hometown.

"You look happy" said Vandam.

"I miss Daddy's house Brother."

Vandam smiled, "Oh so this is just about the house?"

Nilam nodded, "Father's house is the only one that can make me remember my happy childhood brother, before Marni's mother came."

"Yes I understand."

"Can we stop by the store by brother? I want to buy something for Mom and Sister Riki."

Vandam nodded, "Maybe."

After buying a lot by by, Nilam and Vandam again continue their journey until finally they reach their destination.

With a happy and impatient face, Nilam immediately got out of the car and ran knocking on his door.

Long enough Nilam knocked on the door until finally the door opened.

Nilam's face look disappointed when he saw neither Marni nor Kak Riki who opened the door.

"Who's looking?" ask a middle-aged woman who may be the same age as Marni's mother.

"My mother and sister, where are they? Don't they live here?" ask Nilam.

Vandam who was still standing next to the car finally came closer to make sure what happened.

"Oh you guys looking for Marni and Riki?"

Nilam nodded, though,

"They sold me this house."

Nilam's body suddenly squeezed until he fell to the floor.

"Sells?" Vandam was visibly emotional, helping Nilam get back on his feet.

"Yes, sold this house a year ago."

"Where's the stuff going?"

"Had been taken by them, I heard they were also dead."

Again Nilam was startled, "What do you mean? Where are they now?"

"After selling the house and its goods, they live contracted and buy a car. I heard they had an accident and died on the spot." explained the woman.

"Alright, thanks for the information" said Vandam and took Nilam back to his car.

In the car, Nilam was crying. He did not expect Mother and Sister could sell the house relics of the Father.

"Why are they so evil brother."

Vandam could not bear to see Nilam crying, He hugged Nilam, trying to calm the girl He loved.

Seriate...
