The Autumn In Heart
The Part 41
The night was getting late, but I still couldn't sleep. Briyan was just silent next to me playing her phone. Tonight we were without any more mattresses, just a bad cover that I brought from the guesthouse. Briyan and I agreed not to fuss over this matter.
"Don't you mind sleeping on the floor like this?"
"I'm not surprised anyway, when I was with Sean in the forest a few months ago I even slept on a swing." Briyan was still staring at the screen of her phone.
"Woven? why?"
"Because I was eating and throwing away just the remains of rice and fish bones, finally the red ants spread out to fill our beds. So, out of fear that I sleep every night on the swing. I think sleeping here is more fun."
"Thank God, I hope we get back to the guesthouse soon. Or, going to your dad's and mom's house doesn't matter either."
"Yes.. um, by the way Sena said she went hungry at the station, is that true??"
I was silent at Briyan's question, I exhaled slowly.
"Don't be too trusting of his words, he's not a student. He also worked, including Melati. So, where could they not have the money. One more... If they ask for money, don't give it again, okay?" My word to Briyan.
"Why??" Briyan was astonished.
"As long as you give them, they'll keep asking from you."
"As long as the number is reasonable is it okay??"
I glared at Briyan hearing his words.
"I—iya yes, you take it easy. By the way if you need anything just grab it in my sling bag, take it whatever you need."
"Yes, thank you. How much money is in there?"
"Not much, just 6 million."
I was amazed to hear the word 'free' that he said.
"Why?" Briyan asked looking at my expression.
"No, it's okay."
"Is everyone not asleep??" ask Briyan.
"They're watching tv in front, why?"
"Why don't you sit with them? aren't they going home tomorrow??"
That's a rather difficult question to answer, to be honest, even though I live with them, I rarely get together. I'd rather be in my own room and do my schoolwork first.
"I'm used to this, even though they're gathering together."
"It's better that we join forces, it's not good that we keep ourselves locked up here." Bring Briyan.
Briyan and I got up and joined them outside.
Melati pulled out a mic and a small speaker, she played a song for her karaoke and sang in front of us. His voice is sweet and looks good with the songs he performs.
"Dear, lower your voice. I'm watching the news." Dad reprimands Melati.
"Dad not watch the news, but watch the gossip of the artist. Why would you watch something like that?? less work!" Jasmine sahut.
"You're so noisy, dad who watches this tv earlier than you karaoke. So now you're moving! to the room or the terrace!" Dad drove out Melati with a tone of a boisterous voice.
Jasmine carries a mic and her small speakers with a manyun mouth. He took her to the bedroom.
While Sena was rubbing her legs with a scrub. Sena always wants to look beautiful wherever she is. He uses a headset while calling someone. Sometimes he seemed to laugh out loud and back to his feet with a stretch.
While Briyan and I were still silent unmoved from our seats. We are not stopping to pay attention to the behavior of all of them.
"They're all funny." Briyan looked at me.
I didn't answer his words. For him they're funny now, but maybe someday, I don't know, I can't imagine what ever happened to me would happen to Briyan too.
I'm sure Briyan can adapt easily, but can my family adapt as well? I never expected more from them. It is enough to not make trouble or ask for money.
