THE CEO OF OUGH

Ough 19's

"Night, Mom. I'm Ryu." Ryu barks Salma's mother's hand.

"Fifth. Just call me Pomegranate." Pomegranates behaved like they didn't like Ryu.

"Yes, Miss Pomegranate." Ryu repeated.

"Fifth only. No need to call me, Mom. I'm not your mother."

Ryu is shocked by Salma's mother's reaction. Salma understood that and then pulled Ryu to follow her. "Mom, where's Dad?" ask Salma.

"After."

"Salma stay first, Mom. Salma wants to see me." Salma takes Ryu to the back of her house.

"I'll clear it up later." Salma pulled Ryu continuously towards the back of her house.

An old man in his 60s was sitting in a small chair under a tree with his back to his house.

"This is my father." Salma patted the old man's shoulder.

The man just glanced behind who was patting him. Then again continue his activities sucking bottles that have been filled with prohibited items. Ryu was shocked to witness the activities of his future father-in-law.

Salma invites Ryu to sit in a long chair not far from her father's place.

"This is how my family is. If you don't like it, you can back off now. My dad was a drug addict and my mom was, she had a mental breakdown. He will not be willing to adapt to strangers or new people. Still mending you're just cut off. A friend of mine was still at the door thrown with a broom."

Ryu looked at Salma full of pity. "There must be a reason why all this could happen. You must know something."

"No. I can't remember anything. My memory and my mother's been missing for about 5 years. We can't remember anything. To date, I do not know what caused it." Salma looked at her father with a blank look.

"You're an only child?" ask Ryu.

"No. I have a sister."

Ryu dyed. "I don't see anyone else but your Mom and Dad in this house." Ryu looked for the figure of the younger sister that Salma meant.

"It must work at this hour. Maybe in an hour."

"Work? Your sister must be a little girl." Ryu protest.

"Yes. He works for food, makes his school, buys Dad's meds. Not to mention that I'm sick. Me and Aini have to work extra until sometimes Aini doesn't go to school." Salma was embarrassed.

"Here? Your sister's name is Aini? You two must be strong women. Be the backbone of the family." Ryu stroked Salma's shoulder.

"It's much stronger than me. He was willing to sacrifice everything for our family. If I'm not as strong as him, I can only be a laundry laborer in the morning and during the day, and a bartender at night." Salma miris sees the state of her family.

"What's Aini working for?" ask Ryu.

"Hahahahaha," Surya's thunderous laughter made Ryu and Salma startled.

Ryu looked at Salma question markingly.

"Regular. The effect of drugs" Salma explained.

"It's been like this for a long time?" ask Ryu.

Surya got up from his seat and danced with his excitement. "This is a new life of pleasure. I'm rich, I can buy anything. I can dance with beautiful women." Surya is dancing.

"We moved yuk." Salma pulled Ryu's hand around the side of the small house in this densely populated area to the front of the house. "We'll just sit here. Inside the house was my mother. Sorry I'm gonna be so pissed."

"It's okay. So, how?" ask Ryu.

"How's what?" Salma asked back.

"You want to marry me?" ryu asked expectantly.

"I want. But, do you still want my family to be like this?" Salma is very pessimistic.

Ryu nodded cheerfully.

"That's, Aini." Show Salma to the girl.

"Hm?" Ryu asked for an explanation.

"He's my brother, Aini. That's his job." Salma stopped her sentence as soon as Aini arrived before them.

"Hi, Brother. This who?" Aini noticed Ryu's appearance from head to toe. "You're a whore now? Where's so cute again this guy. It must have been very big, auh .. unlike my customers who are mostly old jablai om-om. Once can the young eh premature ejaculation. Can I please taste this customer of yours? I also want to be satisfied." Aini looked at sayu Ryu.

Salma tightly grasped Ryu's hand. Salma held back her emotions a little, because what Aini said was already overstepping the line. It was true that Ryu's 'that' was large and durable. But, is it true that she is also a prostitute as Aini said? While he also with Ryu often do it, not only in the apartment even in the office as well.

Ryu understood Salma's unease. He held Salma's hand resting in his next hand.

"Here, this is my future husband." Salma stood up and aligned Aini.

"You are this, brother. The new period of being a prostitute has been baper until directly to hold your customers accountable."

Plaque!!!

A slap landed on Aini's right cheek.

"Can you keep your attitude? He's Ryu, my future husband." Salma said quite loudly.

"Look easy, brother. Don't be so angry, can you?"

"You may be a whore, but please don't be this cheap."

Plaque!!!

Aini back slaps Salma. Ryu got up from his seat and immediately pulled Salma into his arms.

"Can't you guys don't fight like this. Sorry, Aini. You can sit down first. We're obrolin first."

Aini obeyed Ryu.

"Look, I really want to marry Salma. That's why, I came here to see Dad and Mom-"

Ryu's sentence was not finished yet. However, Aini was already laughing hearing that. Funny as a joke famous comedian.

"Are you kidding me?" ask Aini.

"i'm serious. Maybe you're the only one I can talk to in this family-"

"What do you mean say that? You want to tell my parents that I'm crazy?" Aini cut Ryu speech.

"It's not like that I mean."

Aini closed her mouth holding back a laugh. "I understand. You must have been kicked out by Mom, right? Then you must be taking drugs back there." Aini pointed to her home of origin. "Are you sure? In this house only Salma's sister is sane. Others crazy. But, maybe now he seems to have gone crazy as well." Aini laughs.

"What do you mean?" ask Salma.

"Yes, you're crazy. You shouldn't have to take this guy to our house like this. She might not marry you. You just tell him that you're a kara and you don't have anyone here. Done." Aini moved from her seat about to leave Ryu and Salma.

Ryu held Aini's hand. "Wait a minute."

Aini stared hard at Ryu. "Otherwise? I'm so tired of wanting to rest" she said.

Ryu reached into his pants pocket and took out his wallet. "This is what you wear. Could be for a few days. You can't have to work for a few days. Rest at home and go to school well."

"You're rich too. That's enough for a week. I might not have to work anymore. But if you have a good school. I don't think I can. Because my schoolmate likes to take me to the school bathroom to serve him. Moreover, my teacher, they always threatened to give me bad grades if I didn't want to satisfy them."

"You can change schools." Ryu gave a suggestion.

Aini laughs. "Those whom I have served will not permit me. They'll threaten to viral students who work as prostitutes like me. The world is not fair to us poor." Aini leaves Ryu and Salma.

"Let's just go back to the apartment" Salma asked.

Along the way, Ryu is mostly silent. He thought about how to help Aini to be able to school well without any threat. And how to help Salma's dad who's an addict. Maybe he'll take Salma's mother to a psychiatrist to help her recover her soul. He would do it all for Salma. He could understand the stripes of grief that Salma had never shown him.
