The Sun Becomes a Star
Trash Guys
“You better watch your mouth,” my voice restrained in anger.
“You're not even who my – is entitled to talk like that to me.”
“So well you have no right to talk like that to me.”
“I think you've talked about your payment with my brother. Technically you are my employee and I can do whatever you want.”
“But not with me. I said one thing. You,” I paused for a moment to catch my breath that was already hunting this.
“even I don't know your name yet. You need to learn more about respecting others. Out there, outside your house this gedhe you are not who – who. Judging from your appearance without your house I think you're not even cut out to be trash!”
“Know what you are about me. Basic girl!”
“Emang why if I'm a girl? I'm a gini girl has worked hard to and fro, not be a useless child like you” I really don't like being picked up so. His words were so insulting as if – would be a girl like me is rubbish.
“You have too many mouths,” He advanced while grabbing my shoulder and bringing his lips closer to mine.
“killajar you!” I shouted loudly while slapping his left cheek and awarding a kick in his stomach until he took a few steps back. I saw the tip of his lips bleeding. My tears can't stand it. I didn't want to cry in front of him. He rubbed his lips with his hand.
“Fucking girls. Did your Mom never teach you how to behave in front of guys huh?!”
“I don't have a Mom !!” My tears are flowing unstoppable. Even though I live with a guy, I mean with my dad, doesn't mean I shouldn't cry khan? Then I ran down the stairs straight to the front door.
I saw Brother Kevin standing at the door with a sorry face.
“I'm sorry.”
“So this is what Brother said that I will meet a little difficulty?” I was right – was really angry with Brother Kevin. I'm sure he heard everything that happened above because I spoke quite loudly. Just want me to slap him like I slapped his sister earlier. Even if I may, I want to slap her face harder.
“Let me pay you,” she held out an envelope to me.
“You want to pay me for all this humiliation, brother ?! I've never been insulted like this and I won't let anyone insult me like this” I'm angry and I don't have to be sweet in front of Brother Kevin.
“You Brother, do good to me because you already feel guilty before even contacting me. You know this is going to be.”
“I'm sorry May. I have no right to involve you in my troubles”
“Seeble once Brother. You have absolutely no right. Do you think with your mountainous apologies you can make me feel better?!” I said while crying.
“You are also the same bastard as your sister Brother. I did not expect it to turn out that you are like that,” I pushed his large body firmly.
He just shut up. Even looking at my face, he did not dare. And I got out of that house. I kicked the fence hard. It was so hard for my feet to hurt. Better my feet bump than my heart hurts. I heard from behind the big gate being opened. Kevin's brother followed me with his car.
“Let me drive you home.”
“No need. You think girls don't deserve to go out at night or walk on their own in a quiet place ?! You're wrong, Kevin. Girls – girls today already know how to take care of themselves well. Don't think all girls are the same. Weak, helpless, spoiled, always ask to be delivered to where – where. I'm not that kind of person.”
“For what huh? Treating your guilt? All you think about is making your heart comfortable. You don't even care about me at all. If you want to care a little, brother, at least you tell me how your sister is. Even the name alone you can not tell,” I walk angry. Very angry and disappointed. I had expected a lot from my meeting with him the other day. I'm so stupid I don't want to hear what Jell, Trisakti and especially Papa said.
Brother Kevin was silent again while accompanying my steps in his car. It looks like his face is clear. I don't want to see his face. Afraid I'll regret seeing his face.
“I'm not the first person to be treated this way by your sister khan ?”
“Hah ...” Kevin grunting. “Before you have some others. Maybe three people and all of them nothing works.”
I grinned while still walking. The cold night air I ignored because I was quite hot with anger.
“You will understand that you are in my position May. Aaron is my responsibility.
“So your sister's name is Aaron ..”.
“I want the best for him. I hope he can pass the exam this time well. Not half – half.”
“Your responsibility ? Indeed you have no parents what?!”
“They both no longer exist May. Aaron is my only –.”
My anger's shrinking a little. I feel bad about him like this. My talk needs to be more controlled. But that doesn't mean I'm not angry anymore. I don't have Papa. Papa often spends time with me. But I often left Papa working. But that doesn't mean I have to be that kind of jerk Aaron is.
“I'm sorry Brother. My own life is hard and I don't think I'm the right person for you to be involved in your problems. I didn't even know you before. You don't know me either. I don't think I'm the right person to help you and Aaron. I don't want.”
“I was wrong May. You want me to drive you home ?”
“No. Thank you,” an angkot passed by and I waved my left hand. I got on and left. I saw Kevin's car keep following me. Maybe he wants to make sure I'm good – fine.
“No need to follow me with your car. I can take care of myself” via mobile phone I contact him.
“I'm just worried” his voice sounds serious. I see through the windshield.
“I'd be more upset if you kept following me like that.” Kevin's car turned around.
I'm still in the angkot. Feel the – walk on the uneven road. Passing the street with lights in color. Bringing heartache and humiliation on my face. I hope I don't see them both for the rest of my life. I feel so guilty for Papa. I'm guilty of doubting Jell and Trisakti's words. I feel so guilty. I'm a stupid girl. I decided to keep this from Papa, but I will tell this to my three best friends. Trisakti, Jell and. Imelda.
