The Lost Sense

Chapter 88

This morning we all gathered at the dinner table, having breakfast as usual. That's when I noticed that Luke ate with his right hand. Arby, it's okay to use your left hand because he's left-handed. So obviously, the one with us for almost a month is not Arby.

My mom and dad were not aware of all that. Judging from the face and stature, Luke and Arby are very similar. It's hard to tell the difference. Papa and Mama, who have lived with Arby for decades, are not suspicious of Luke. They were completely unaware that the figure they were with was not the real Arby.

"Since when have you, By, eaten with your right hand. Not that you're left-handed" I asked to show my astonishment. Luke is suddenly wrong. His face changed. In my heart I cheered happily. Because it's like sitting in an electric chair.

"Eh, yes are you not left-handed anymore? My mom also just realized. Mama's feeling, yesterday Arby also ate with his right hand." said mama .

"Arby, it's been training in Papua, Ma. You see many are mocked, if you eat with your left hand." said Luke lightly without burden. His shocked expression was only a few seconds, instantly turning normal. I became gregetan.

"But om, it's not hard, practice. Devan until now can not-can also," said Devan. I feel very represented by Devan's plain question. Devan is also left-handed. I saw Luke's face change but he tried to neutralize it.

"You know Arby, you have a twin," I said spontaneously, jokingly. No doubt, Luke choked, hurriedly grabbed a glass and swallowed water to the toilet.

"Om Arby has a twin?" buyak Devan looks at Luke and papa in turn.

"Hush, your mom is just kidding. Where there is a twin of your Arby. Already, when eating do not tell a lot of stories," said papa firmly.

"There's no harm in being asked to Elis' aunt, Pa. All I know is aunt. You can ask Bi Elis, By. You know, yesterday I saw someone who looked just like you?" I said half-joking. Luke chokes on food. This time the rice in his mouth was splashed out.

Mucus! I screamed in my heart. I really enjoy Luke's position right now. Just like a crab in a frying pan.

"Candy! Don't talk too late, yeah. No good kidding especially when eating!" delik papa was angry and looked at me sharply.

"Sory, By. Brother was just kidding, really," I said pretending to be sorry. "But you're so surprised when you're just kidding."

"No papa. I was surprised because I didn't expect it, if your joke grazed there," he said trying to calm down. I saw him clench his jaw, annoyed with my actions.

"Yes, that. But if there is no truth, overcook your reaction. Until it chokes everything, it's normal." I'm still trying to corner it.

"Already, Crispy, you like your brother's play. But not at the dinner table say, pamali," said mama looking at me softly. Trying to neutralize the atmosphere.

"Yes, ma. Sorry, By," I said. Luke just sniffed his shoulder. Meanwhile, if I was joking with, Arby, he'd hook my jokes until I die of fleas. Far away from Luke. Yes, the person is different too. The only Arby Luke. It just so happened that they were twins, and no one knew because Bi Elis had been hiding them all this time.

"You're weird too, By. Usually, if your brother is kidding, you must be chiming in. Open busy choking like this, like never just dikandain," said mama. Hem, great. I think you can also judge Luke's attitude and compare him to Arby. Even though you don't know that in front of him is not the real Arby.

"Tau, tuh! It doesn't feel good," my son. Usually, he is also the one who ngajak becanda, somehow after returning from Papua, turned into a quiet, kayak kambet jin aja," he again fishing murky water. I did deliberately prank Luke, who was posing as Arby. Feel comfortable and enjoy bringing Arby up and down because they look so similar.

Want to use it to fool papa. Strange too, how papa can be so easily fooled.Tak realize that Luke is not Arby. Cannot distinguish the two. I can't actually tell the two apart, if I hadn't heard Luke and Bi Elis' conversation yesterday.

He thought his evil actions would be easy for him to fake, and no one sniffed out his bad intentions.

"Sory, again upset, not in time. Udah, I unplug it first. Excuse me Ma, Om," said Luke.

"Kok, even call Om, Papa, anyway. Strange, there's-there's just you, By." papa protested.

"Eh, sorry, Pa," Luke's nervous. Leaving the dining table accompanied by a look of astonishment from all of us.

"It's not like attitude, Om Arby, who usually does, ma?"chirps Devan.

"Yes, last night, Om Arby, it's not clear. Mitha sampe. Mitha's afraid, meet Arby, if there's no grandma or mama."

"Eh, grandma's granddaughter can't say that. Maybe Arby has a problem." said Mama.

"Yes, Grandma, but Arby's never that scary. I usually like to play. Anyway Arby's changed, not as good as before, right Dev's sister?" I gawked at Mitha's explanation. Children are most sensitive to feel that something is wrong.

"Well, Arby's rude to you, son?" my many. "Once you're naughty, make you upset," I looked fixed to see his honesty.

"Sir, ma. Mitha accidentally kicked the ball in the direction, Om Arby, Mitha's trousers were snapped" said Mitha.

"Kok, just talking now. Why don't you tell Grandma" said Mama.

"Mitha's scared, Grandma."

"Yes, already. Next time someone's being rude, tell Grandma or mama, okay?" I'm the head of Mitha.

Hem, I want to feel like I'm taking the cover of Luke posing as Arby. However, I don't have enough hard evidence yet to show papa. After all, it was unclear what their plans were.

In the meantime, I'm keeping my patience. While observing Hans and Luke's movements. If I can, Arby's whereabouts I should know first, so the evidence is complete. Besides I have to make sure first, Arby's safety.

Dion had someone investigate, so I had to be careful not to let Luke suspect that I knew his disguise.

For now, let me give up a lot, just follow their game. That way I can get information from them. If I act now, I'm afraid I'm missing a chance, to investigate Luke and Hans' plan.

I should be able to get close to Hans and Arby. It's only with them that I can find information about Arby's whereabouts. Hopefully until that happens, Arby will be fine.*****
