The Death Eye's
Eps 18– Birthday It's Not Fun
BRACKET!
Tino slammed the door of her room very hard. He's really upset. And so is Tiny.
“Ah, This sucks!” grouse Tino was upset. “Why don't mom and dad remember our birthdays, anyway!?”
Tiny wrote. ‘Maybe they just forgot, sis!’
Tino frowned as she looked at Tiny who was in front of her. Tiny is back to writing.
‘Don't be mad at parents if they don't remember our birthdays. Because we ourselves definitely don't know their birthdays, right?’
“Eh! I know Mom and Dad's birthday. We used to give gifts to them. And now what? They don't want to give us gifts. They do not repay us good deeds. Uh! Upset!” Tino is getting angry.
Tiny frowned. Then he punched Tino in the stomach with his regret. If Tiny could talk, he would yell "stupid!" to his brother.
Tino was surprised and looked at Tiny in disbelief. Then Tiny went back to writing, ‘So, I don't like birthdays just because you expect gifts from others?!’
Tiny wrote again, ‘That means big brother is very selfish!’
Tiny wrote again. This time, it's longer.
‘That gift doesn't matter, brother! Because in that anniversary, the most important thing is the togetherness with the family. We still have parents, brother. We should be thankful that we still have good parents. Don't be like this, Kaaak!’
Tino's speechless. He can't say anything more. After Tiny showed the writing, Tiny immediately closed his Notebook. He walked quickly to his bed. Throwing his body on his bed while hugging the Notebook and bolting it.
Tino nodded heavily. Then he went outside his room and left his sister alone in the room.
After Tino left, under the blanket that covered Tiny's face, she let out her sweet tears. Instantly, his cheeks got wet and a soft stuffing sound was heard. Somehow she cried, but that way, Tiny would feel better.
“Am I too hard on Sister Tino?”
****
‘That means Big Brother is very selfish!’
His sister's writing, always remembered in Tino's head. He walked to the front porch of his house. Sitting on the ceramic edge of his patio floor, observing some plants and flowers around him while thinking about something.
“What did Tiny say? Am I being too selfish?”
Tino again let out a heavy sigh. He tried to calm himself. After that, Tino rolled her eyes at the gate of her house fence.
Soon, he saw a girl who had passed by in front of the gate. The girl looked to her right and stared intently at Tino. Instantly, Tino touched his eyes. He knows who the kid is.
That's Miya Nakamura!
Tino stood up again. He rubbed his eyes, then looked back at the gate again. Apparently, the boy named Miya had disappeared somewhere. What was that, really Miya's figure? What... Tino saw it wrong?
“Tino? What are you doing here?”
Suddenly someone was holding Tino's shoulder from behind. And the voice of a woman was clearly heard in Tino's ears. Tino flinched in shock and as soon as possible, she immediately turned her body.
“Eh? Mother?”
Uh! It turned out to be Chelsea.
Chelsea just finished cooking. He was going to take Tino to breakfast. But, after seeing the attitude of Tino who looks like a frightened child, filled with tension, Chelsea will ask his son.
“Tino, you're fine, right?”
“Ah! Ja. I'm good.”
“But, why do you look scared?”
“No! Hehe, I just saw a butterfly that suddenly passed right in front of my face. That's why I'm surprised.”
“Oh, so. Alright.” Chelsea wanderlust watching around. “Hemm... Now, come. We're in and have breakfast together.” Take Chelsea.
“Good, Mom!”
****
When Tino and Chelsea reached the dining table in the kitchen, there was Tiny sitting at the table eating his favorite pudding.
Tino sat in the chair right in front, across from Tiny's desk. For some reason, Tino did not want to be next to her sister. Chelsea asked her two children to sit quietly, while she herself would leave.
Chelsea will go to her room to wake up their father.
After Chelsea left, Tino and Tiny just kept quiet. Tino did not say hello or talk to her sister. Tiny himself was just busy with his pudding and he didn't notice his brother.
In Tiny's mind, her brother must have been angry at her because he had yelled at her brother, even if only a few words on a piece of white paper.
As for Tino, she thought that her sister must be angry with her because she was really disappointed with her brother. Because it had been a few times, Tino had made her sister sad.
Because the atmosphere was very quiet and the two sisters faced each other, they felt uneasy. It doesn't feel good if they don't talk to each other and joke around like they always do.
Bored, Tino finally opened her mouth. “Emm... pudding what flavor do you eat it?”
Tiny intends to give the split pudding to his brother so that he can feel it himself. Tiny was afraid to talk to his sister.
Tino received, then brought the small bowl of pudding closer. After that, Tiny gave a spoon to Tino. Tino received the spoon that Tiny gave her. Then after that, Tino cut the little pudding with a spoon and ate it right away.
“Hmm.. turns strawberries. I think pandan.” Tino muttered as she muttered -**** that pudding in her mouth.
After that, Tino returned the small bowl to Tiny. Tiny accepted it while bowing his head. He really did not want to look directly into his brother's eyes.
Seeing his sister's expression like that, Tino would decide to invite him to have a little chat with her.
He took a deep breath, then looked at Tiny who was in front of him. “Are you okay today?”
Tiny moved his eyes. It is confusion itself. Tiny stared at the floor and his feet under the table and tried to find words to answer her brother's question.
But in the end, Tiny simply replied by nodding his head in the same position as before. He bowed his head and tried not to look at his brother because he was afraid.
“Thank God then. I'm a little worried.”
Tiny tugged his eyes. She heard her brother's voice so soft and soft. Not like a person who is angry or a snarling tone. Very smooth.
“And another one, I'm sorry for that one.” Tino again.
Tiny looked up quickly and looked at his sister. Tiny's mouth opened slightly and her eyes were slightly widened. Surprised expression. Tino thought, Tiny must not have believed her words just now. So he said it again in a rather loud voice.
“Iya. I'm sorry. Youre right. I am a selfish child and can only be selfish,”
Tiny widened his eyes and his pupils slightly shrunk. He shook his head slowly and slowly raised his right hand to flick it, but stopped as Tino resumed his words.
“You're right. I am a brother who is not right! What kind of brother am I, whose work is always fighting so that makes his own sister sad and disappointed. I'm totally useless! Now, I've been introspecting myself and I finally know what my mistake was.”
Quickly, Tiny stood up from his chair then fluttered his hands over and over again quickly while shaking with a panicked expression.
Then Tino wiped her tears slightly out with her hand and then turned her head. Tiny took the Notebook and the pencil next to it. He started writing. But a little long. Tiny had already flipped through a few pages of the little book and continued to write. Looks long.
'I'm not wrong, though! I should have apologized myself for yelling at brother earlier.'
Tiny turned the page.
'I'm sorry for scolding my sister. Really am. I'm not good with my brother. Brother's feelings must have been hurt, huh?'
Flipped again.
'Forgive me Brother!'
Tino widened her eyes. Then after that, he narrowed his eyes and smiled broadly at Tiny.
“Yes, sister forgive. But, you should also forgive Big Brother, huh?”
Tiny nodded quickly. They laughed together and joked again as usual. Then after being satisfied with joking, things became quiet again.
THE BATS!
Tino and Tiny were shocked. The kitchen lights went off on their own. Tiny got down from his seat, and ran in fear toward his brother. Tino hugged her sister while glancing around her.
THE BATS!
But soon, the lights came back on again. Tino heard a lot of footsteps behind her. He turned his head and at once the noise of a group of people came closer to him.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”
Tino and Tiny were surprised. Turns out there, there are a lot of people who collect and say “Happy birthday” on them. Tino and Tiny smiled widely and laughed. They look so happy. Then after that, Tino and Tiny ran over to his mother.
There were some people that the twins liked. There's his best friend, Dio. Aldy, Liena, and Devan. There is also his sister Chelsea, namely Mellia and her lover Ryo. His brothers Dino, Mista and Dimas. Also, the twins' friends from the other next-door neighbors.
It's just that there's one person who's not there.
“Mother? Where's dad?” tino was confused. “Kok he's not here?”
“Ah! Your father is soon too...”.
“UWAAAA…! WATCH OUT FOR THE ONES IN THERE!”
BUUUGH!
