Punishment for the Killer

Elyn's Lies

"Hmmm.. He hasn't changed since.." Evan sat waiting for Elyn, occasionally his smile etched gently.

***

Om Bima is indeed a good friend of my father, my father said they were one school. My mom gets really sick sometimes she can't get out of bed. His body is getting weaker every day. One day she could no longer get out of bed. Since then Aunt Nina Elyn's mother has been visiting the house more and more. Dad entrusted Aunt Nina to take care of me.

I was always in my mother's room, accompanying my mother to spend a lot of time with her. I told her a lot just to make her smile. I love her so much.

Dad was very busy. But every night he always feeds his mother to eat. We always spent the night in my mom's room. I'll move me to my room if I fall asleep in my mother's bed. I know you have to work for the company because of your responsibilities. I'm proud that you still have time for Mom.

Until one day the mother's illness gets worse, until the mother dies. It felt like my whole world was collapsing. I feel so lost. Almost all my time, I spent with my mother. I was always in my mom's room. When he saw the room was now deserted without his mother lying there. The room that was originally always bright with sunlight illuminated the entire room. Now it looks dim with the window curtain closed. So quiet, no more mother's voice asking a lot of things. Books that once looked colorful and scattered. Now neatly arranged on the shelf and only looks faint. All different. Just because mom's not in that room anymore. Even the scent of medicine inhaled every time it entered the room. Now only smelled a damp and musty aroma that came out of nowhere.

1 Day, 2 days, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, and no matter how long. I come to that room every day. I was even angry when the room was tidied up. I feel like I lost track of Mom.

My father tried to comfort me, not just my father, grandfather, Om Bima, Aunt Nina, even the servants at home comforted me. But no matter how hard I try to make them not worry. I always come back here, to my mother's room which is now very quiet. One day a child came into the room. He peeked out from behind the door.

"Brother ghost?" Elyn asked

"Who? me?"

"Yeah... ghost sister?" Ask again.

"Aren't you a ghost? Who you are is my home. Why am I a ghost." I was upset at the time

"Mom said in the dark there could be ghosts"

He thinks I'm a ghost just because I'm here without turning on the lights. I had a slight impression at once feeling strange with the boy.

"Can ghosts be as handsome as I am?" I asked back.

"I don't know, the first ghost sister I met!" He answered seriously. A very strange boy.

Yaah.. The boy thought I was a ghost. What a strange child. Then he went to my mother's room more and more. I often bother him. The kid who didn't come from where it was.

When I grabbed her toy she laughed and asked me to play along, when I picked up the book she smiled and tried to read it to me. Even when I threw him with a pillow he ran and laughed while shouting "Yeeeee pillow fight" but when I finished his meal he just got angry and grumbled nonstop. Like a cute cat who snatched his food.

I finally knew she was Elyn the son of Aunt Nina. The more days she went to the house she did as she pleased. I slowly started coming out of the room when exactly I was not even aware. Outside the room, he gets weird. Now I know why his mother banned him in the dark. It was because he was also very careless. He could have died from hitting all the stuff in the dark.

Until I realized that Elyn had filled my life. He was always by my side. I don't even know when it started. Elyn was always the center of my attention.

"Yes my.. Where else was the boy" Evan finally realized from his daydream. He thought of Elyn who had not returned. Afraid of Elyn why-why Evan decided to catch up with Elyn.

"Sister Nevan, if you have any time tonight we want to talk to you" Bella suddenly stopped.

"Ah yes.." Evan whose eyes were still looking for the figure of Elyn origin answered only. Evan continued his steps.

"Ah, that's it.." But then Evan's steps stopped. Elyn is with Regi again. He decided to return to his seat.

"Is he that happy. His face until red meets Regi." Evan muttered in his heart.

"Sorry old sister.Elyn had a stomachache.." Elyn said with a slightly trembling tone.

"Elyn's lying, it's her first time lying" Evan's tempestuous emotions he doesn't think Elyn can lie.

"It's okay, now it's better. Going to the clinic? Let brother take you back." Evan said while holding back his emotions.

"It's okay brother.. Maybe I ate in a hurry." Elyn is now

"Yes already.." Evan ends up letting Elyn off just like that. He didn't ask anything about what he saw.

To be more familiar that is the purpose of the company's tourist work. Not missed with dinner. That night as usual. Children's desks are separated according to their age. But Elyn looked even more uninspired at that moment.

"Abelyn, remember what we said this morning on the toilet, right?" Ask Monic

"C. yaaa.." Replied Elyn stammering

"We have an appointment with Nevan. You remembered. Don't interrupt.!" Seru Dara ketus.

"You will have to make amends at that time Abelyn" continued Rini.

Elyn was pushed by them on the toilet this morning. He almost cried. If no Regi just happened to come out of the toilet too. Because it's impossible to hide that anymore. Elyn told Regi about his turmoil.

Elyn sees Bella and Evan as very familiar. Rini, Dara and Monic even laughed along with them.

"Sir, tomorrow we arrive in the Vadim continent I hear we are anchored in the Tronto State" said Bella

"Yes, we'll be tomorrow morning." Answer Evan.

"I've been there and there are a lot of cool things. Brother want to go to the market to buy and have a look with us tomorrow?" Ask Bella again

"Ummm. Is there a gun and a toy shot. Dad said we could buy a unique magic shot there. Someone brought out water and flowers!" Excited Ellyn who had approached them to participate in the conversation.

"I'll see you tomorrow, I can't promise you that." Evan seemed to ignore Elyn and focus on Bella.

Elyn who was ignored finally decided to return to her room, she wanted to immediately break down her body because of the emotions that enveloped her. He was tired even though he didn't do much that day. I don't know why.

Evan also did not understand his actions. He wants to make Elyn angry, angry when he sees Elyn with Regi. But that made Elyn just shut up. Not what Evan expected. Evan's heart was still not satisfied.

"Well, now he's quiet when I ignore him. He must have desperately sought my attention when I ignored him" Evan grumbled in his heart after Elyn.

"Sister. Nevan.." Monic who had spoken but was ignored by Evan finally began to grow furious. He called Evan over and over again.

"Ah, sorry for a second.." Evan had indeed decided to ignore Monic back then. He thought about meeting Regi just considering Elyn even lied this morning. He was very upset with all his thoughts. He should clarify all this immediately. He really didn't want his relationship with Elyn to be this mess.
