The Youth Life Maze
My family
...----------------...
"I came home" a word I used to say when I first got home, it's my habit to say this, because I watch anime too much and also read manga. No one will respond to my greetings, it has become commonplace for me.
I went to the kitchen, the 3x3 kitchen was the place I would go after school to find snacks I would eat at night.
When he arrived home, the clock showed at half-six. After coming from the kitchen and taking a snack, I went upstairs to my room, put the bag in the corner of the room and immediately changed clothes to sleep.
Before taking a shower, I decided to clean up a small portion of my homework and organize the textbooks piled up on the study table. After that, I went into the bathroom and turned on the cold shower.
The cold water from the shower instantly flowed over my body. At first, it felt quite shivering and gave me goosebumps.
But after a while, my body began to get used to the cold temperature and the refreshing sensation it caused.
While feeling the pleasure of taking a shower in the cold shower, I looked up at the glass and saw a reflection of myself there.
"Look at this pitiful you" I said a very negative thing to humble yourself. The wet black hair that came down covered my entire face, I look like an undead, well. Joke is not funny that just makes yourself laugh, and can not make others laugh.
My self does not have a handsome face, you could say my face is just a flat face, not handsome or ugly. My posture was quite unbiased, but I had no muscles everywhere only clearly visible muscles in my biceps muscles, of course I was training my other muscles, my other muscles, but I don't know why my biceps muscle is growing quite rapidly.
Besides my hobby is writing, I also like doing workouts, but I rarely do it because the schedule I have is quite solid. Even so I can still do the workout if I have enough free time like on Saturday or Sunday.
After using soap, toothbrush, face wash, and others that are usually done while bathing, I finally finished bathing, after bathing I immediately put a towel that has been placed behind the door, towels are already stored behind the door, so I do not need to take another towel in the closet, of course I always change the towel every 1 week.
After feeling refreshed after taking a shower and already wearing clothes, the clock had shown me dinner time, I immediately rushed downstairs and prepared for dinner.
Both my parents were sitting in their places, and my sister, my sister, was sitting next to my father, and I was going to sit next to my mother.
Aruna Chaesa Yui she is my little sister, she is the only person in my family member who strongly supports myself to become a novelist. Aruna was twelve years old, we were three years old. Aruna is a beautiful woman, her short brown hair, her cabi cheeks and her brown eyes. Aruna has a loving and gentle nature to me.
As her brother of course I love my only sister very much, because she is also very supportive of me. Although sometimes its potency makes it difficult for me.
I started to sit at my eating place, I could feel a very tense state at the dining table this time, then my mother asked.
"Where have you been Alvaro, you've come home too late!" Mom's face looks really upset. Aruna looked at me with a worried expression as mother asked.
"I ran out of the bookstore, bought the book I wanted." I kept my facial expression to remain calm while explaining without mentioning the novel I bought, because if I mentioned it there would definitely be a bit of disagreement going on.
"What books did you buy until you came home too late like this?" A question from my father could make me pause for a while.
"Yes that's right, it should be that if you already have the initiative to buy the book you need it shouldn't be that long right?!" Now it was my mother's turn to question that made me nervous.
"I came home late because I had a conversation with Aithan, about buying the book when I got to the bookstore I immediately bought it without lingering there." I explained the real situation to both of my parents.
However, my mother continued to look at me with a sharp gaze. "Huh, again Aithan, she's a hindrance in your life isn't she Alvaro?" Mom immediately gave an opinion that could provoke my emotions, mother was very good at provoking my emotions, but at this time I should not be emotional.
Because if I managed to get emotionally hooked, I would have fallen into the trap of the two of them, so I had to stay calm.
I felt the pulse in my neck go faster. While trying to stay calm, I replied, "Mother, father, right now I just want to have a quiet dinner, can't my dinner just be quiet for a day? I'm tired of it because almost every dinner I argue with you guys, and it started when I started liking novels and saying I wanted to be a novelist, what's wrong with that?" As I spoke, I saw Aruna give me a small smile.
I felt a little relieved that my sister supported me. However, my parents still seemed dissatisfied with my answer.
"Of course it's wrong, because you're our first child, you have to continue this business, besides being a writer or whatever your future is not guaranteed." My father gave me his view of my future which made me feel disappointed.
"Your father is right, being a writer or something doesn't make sure you'll be successful and famous Alvaro, so you better continue what your father started, it's more promising Alvaro." Mother continued.
Even though I was a little scared, I kept a calm expression, as well as a slight sigh, "Dad, mother, how many times have you guys said the same thing over and over again? I already know that being a writer or novelist does not guarantee a bright future, especially if his work is not in the interest of the audience, but still I have rounded my dream to become a novelist!" I confidently issued an opinion that would definitely not be approved by them.
"Once you don't, I'll never let you be a writer." As I thought, my mother would definitely not allow it. Then the father with his casual expression asked, "What makes you so eager to become a writer? Did those writers pay for your living expenses?"
Dad's face that always looks calm in various situations sometimes makes me amazed and horrified at the same time.
It seems that since I was his son, I also inherited a calm nature in various situations, although I used to be almost unable to calm down when faced with the current situation, but the current was starting to differ, but the current was starting to be different, I who have almost mastered my own emotions is very profitable for me, because I always follow what my parents want, but now I can oppose what they want.
"You want me to explain how many times you probably won't understand how the novel has changed my life a little." I closed the conversation at this time, the atmosphere became quiet, without a word or conversation, I focused on dinner alone.
Aruna suddenly opened the conversation, "Ahh... Dinner this time is good yahh.." Aruna said with a forced smile.
After eating, I got up from the place to eat, and washed the dishes I used to eat, after I finished washing the dishes I went back to my room without saying a word to my parents.
After arriving at the room, I immediately picked up the novel that I had bought 'The Fault In Our Stars', it was a romance novel that I really wanted to buy.
I sat down in bed and started reading the novel. While reading a novel, someone knocked on my bedroom door, I hurried off to open the door, and Aruna was my sister who knocked on my door, I've always thought that he would go to my room if I had an argument with both of my parents.
"What's? Want to say something?" I asked with a flat face.
"No, I just want to see Naru doang kok, hehe~ " said Aruna.
Aruna always says things I can't understand when it's like this,
"Well, if there's nothing come back to your room there." While complaining, I told Aruna to go back to her room, because I wanted to read the novel I bought immediately.
"Hehhh.... Though Aru has worried about kak Naru lohh~ "By showing his potent nature, I will start having trouble serving him.
"Don't worry about brother, brother is fine." I started to step my foot back into the room and close the door, but, Aru held my hand that was about to close the door, "Nee.. Onii-chan~" Deg, with his innocent face still saying that, I was speechless to hear what came out of Aruna's mouth,
"Well, where do you know that word." I asked what I should have known, but still hearing that sentence directly from Aruna, my own sister I felt strange.
"Hehehe... kak Naru would be happy to be called so~" said Aruna with a grinning face
"Well, where there's no crap." I calmly replied, It is the indulgence and the ugliness of it that makes me more tired than arguing with my parents.
"Hehh.. Do not boong deh kak Naru, would be happy to be called onii-chan~~, I can call kak Naru with the name onii-chan as much as onii-chan want to loh~ " His face that had been disappointed earlier turned drastically cheerful while putting his finger on the cheek and tilting his head to the side.
Seeing his behavior like this, most people must have thought of no, even though I was stubborn, he was still my brother, he did have an outrageous ignorant and spoiled nature.
"Well, whatever, Aru wants to call brother how, like Aru aja." I who was used to the spoiled and ignorant nature of Aruna let her freely refer to me as she liked.
"Asikkk I can call brother onii-chan." Aruna looks so happy when I give her freedom in calling me brother or onii-chan and so on.
"But let brother explain, maybe in the anime and manga the mention of an older brother in his own family is onii-chan, but the mention of an older brother in his own family is true, ani, that's all." I explained what I learned about the basics in Japan after liking anime more deeply, perhaps most in the anime mention onii-chan as a mention of an older brother who is in his own family, whereas it should be a mention for an older brother in someone else's family.
"Hehh.. Aru time must call onii-chan, ani, ani-chan, not really, which makes sense just aniki, but Aru does not like. Anyway onii-chan aja Aru to kak Naru."
"Well whatever, you just gave me the info that should be right,"
"Alright, because it seems like there's nothing you want to talk about going into the room anymore huh." I wanted to continue reading the novel, but Aruna seemed to still have something to talk about.
"Hmpph.. Though already worried Aru, still aja cuek, certainly no woman other than Aru who worried about Naru onii-chan."
"Huh, yes literally no family member other than Aru is worried about big brother anyway." I said before I went back into the room.
Aruna seemed to be pouting and sulking after hearing my reply, "Hmphhh onii-chan is a breed!" Aruna opened and closed the door of her room tightly.
"Hahh, what's really on Aru's mind, make me confused." I was babbling and breathing.
Because I was tired of serving Aruna, I went back into the room and read again the novel, while snacking on food that I had taken this afternoon in the refrigerator. Ten o'clock at night, I decided to end reading the novel and go to sleep.
Before going to bed I go downstairs to drink a glass of a bottle, and go to the bathroom.
After I finished I was laying down, setting an alarm and preparing for sleep, before going to bed usually I will imagine a story that has a happy plot, usually I will fantasize long enough, usually I will dream long enough, maybe because today I was too tired I decided to go to bed faster.
