There's Mars in the Parish Heart Room

Part 4's

We entered the courtyard of a minimalist stately house one of the RedRose city complexes.

The house belongs to the Shannon family. Yeah, we're going to aunt Jade's house. He invited us to dinner together. You could say to bring the nuclear family closer.

Parish glared, from earlier Spanish self-smiling towards him.

"why ?" ask Parish.

"you'll meet your fans" he said.

Parish did not understand.

"your little brother. He likes to be close to you" Spanish said.

Parish smiled understandingly. What Spanish means is definitely Venus.

Actually Parish was trying to be friendly. Not just for Venus. But to Aunt Jade, even to Marsha. They will be family.

"welcome to the aunt's house" said aunt Jade greeted us on the porch.

Parish looked in admiration. The terrace of the house of Aunt Jade is filled with roses of various colors. Parish loves roses.

"it's really beautiful auntie" parish said.

"you must think the aunt arranged it" said Aunt Jade.

Parish frowned. Then who ? thought.

"brother Marsha made this all" cried Venus as she stretched her hand out and turned.

"wow !! really Marsha ?!" the Spanish don't believe it.

Parish is speechless. The quiet, cold-looking guy loves roses. Romantically. Say it in the heart.

"where's Marsha trus ?" ask Dad.

"he's got a little business, he's coming home soon. Let's go in" take Aunt Jade.

"ayo kaka is beautiful" Venus invited while holding the hands of Parish.

Everyone smiled at Venus.

Since they came in late afternoon, and Marsha had not come yet, they waited for Marsha to have dinner together. Dad and Spanish sit back in Aunt Jade's living room. Parish followed Venus to her room. He said he wanted to show me something.

The room with a sticker pad inscribed "Venus" as a marker of the owner of the room was located to the left of the second floor staircase Jade's house. The room is quite spacious with a combination of blue and yellow. The bed is neat with animated bedcovers of minions that match the paint of the room. Venus toy tucked away in a box. The display of his collection of animated robots is arranged in a glass cabinet. On his study table were two family photos, four of them with alms. Papa and threesome without alm. Her papa.

This little boy is neat too. Mumbled Parish in the heart.

"wild brother ?" exclaim Venus shows a painting of a rose garden complete with a fountain. Just like his home page.

"wah good. You painted ?" ask Parish.

Venus is confused. She shook her head.

"it's a painting of my brother" he said.

Parish surprise. He once remembered, he used to take painting lessons and piano lessons. But Dad and Spanish say it's just eskul. And until now there was no convincing evidence of that memory. There was no painting equipment in his house. There was only his mother's piano covered in a blue cloth as a display. Once Parish was secretly about to play it but his fingers felt vibrating and stiff. Father and Spanish can also be very angry if they find out he opened the cover. To be precise, they did not allow him to play the piano.

Parish held his head. There was an electric shock. It's always like that if he tries to remember.

"what's the big brother ?" ask Venus.

Parish. He rubbed the letter "PRSH" in the lower right corner of the painting in his hand.

"i like to draw, said Om Mark, he used to paint only that for a long time. Not anymore" Venus explained.

"where did you get this painting ?" ask Parish curiously.

"sister Marsha bought it during a charity bazaar event at SMP A RedRose. The organizers say this painting belongs to Parish Mc. Millans. I just remembered the same name as the big brother when we met at the dinner restaurant." the eight-year-old explained.

Parish nodded. That was his school first.

"why did brother Marsha buy it ?" ask Parish again.

"sister likes it" said Venus.

Parish smiles.

"astaga" Venus swatted her eel.

Venus's face turned frantic. He glanced towards the wall clock. Parish did not understand. Why Venus is so fucked up.

"i have to return him to my sister's room" he said.

With a hurry Venus grabbed the painting in the hands of Parish and then moved out of the room. He ran to the room opposite his room. To the right of the stairs.

Parish followed Venus.

The door to the room is open. Venus then turned on the room lights.

Parish saw the sekeli. Marsha's room is very neat. Unlike Spanish rooms that are usually cluttered, more often tidied up by Lesly aunty.

Venus was about to put the painting on the wall right on Marsha's study table. The eight-year-old boy climbed onto the table through a chair. His hands began to try to hook the painting straps on the small nails on the wall.

"here I help" Parish said.

He approached. Then grab a painting in Venus' hands. It didn't take long for Parish to associate the painting.

"finished" cried Parish.

"thank you" said Venus.

"why are you panicking ? brother Marsha can be angry ?" ask Parish.

"i actually borrowed it from Marsha to make the painting an example of my image. But brother Marsha said the origin of the painting should not be taken out of the room. I took it out because I was happy to come here." Venus explained as she came down from the Marsha study table.

Parish mangut sign understand.

Suddenly his gaze focused on the picture frame on Marsha's study table.

In Venus's room, on the study table are two family photos. In Marsha's room, the two family photos were hung on the wall along with a photo of the two with Venus.

Parish's hand grabbed the picture frame. Black and white photo that looks blurry, because it was taken by the photographer from far away. A girl of about twelve years of age with waist-length hair, wears a round hat with a rose decoration around the cap and wears an umbrella. It seemed like it was raining, there was a puddle of water around it.

"why do I feel familiar" murmured Parish.

"why are you here ?" there was a sound from the door.

Parish and Venus are shocked. The one with the room stands in the doorway. Parish looked at the confused Venus. So did he, confused as to how. They must have a reason.

"i-iya sister" said Venus.

"let's get Ven out. I'm helping you" Parish said, giving a back-clap code to get them out of Marsha's room.

"yes, sister" replied Venus.

With hurry Parish put again the picture frame in his hand to its original place.

"sorry I didn't accidentally" Parish said embarrassedly.

She and Venus quickly move out of the room before Marsha speaks again.

*

"huh almost" Parish said after arriving at Venus's room.

"sorry sister" said Venus feeling guilty.

Parish smiles. He rubbed Venus' head.

"we go down yuk" take Parish.

Venus agreed.

*

Mark Mcs. Millan and Spanish Mc. Millan appeared to be talking seriously in the living room of Aunt Jade Shannon.

Parish then laid his body on his father's shoulder.

As the youngest, he was indeed very spoiled for his father. Even sometimes with Spanish, Parish always issued a sulking style.

Venus chose to sit in front of the tivi while pressing the remote button looking for a good broadcast.

"why ?" Mark Mcs. Millan fixed his sitting position. He leaned his daughter's head against his chest.

"it's okay Dad. Parish's head suddenly hurt. The electric shock had recurred" Parish said.

Mark Mcs. Millan and Spanish looked worried. They understand why it could happen. Venusians. Seeing that everyone was worried, he panicked. Because Parish was with him.

Spanish sat squatting near his sister's knee. He rubbed his sister's head.

"what do you think ?" ask Spanish softly.

Parish. He seemed hesitant to tell a story. Because he knew, what he wanted to tell was the thing that had been covered up from him.

"it's okay brother" he said slowly.

"Parish why ?" ask Aunt Jade to see everyone approaching Parish.

Venus drew near to her mother.

"his head hurts" said Dad.

"want me to get you some medicine ? looks like I have a supply of headache medicine in the medicine box" said Aunt Jade.

"no need for aunt. Thank ye... Parish's fine" said Parish, she held her arms to her father.

"we just go home how ?" suddenly Dad made them shocked.

Where it might go home. Kasian aunt Jade, has cooked a lot but her guests did not so enjoy the cuisine. Think Parish.

Parish.

"we eat first Dad. I want to eat Aunt Jade's cooking" Parish said.

"yes dear, aunty cook vegetable gravy meat. Your father said, you like it very much. But if you feel pain, just wrap it up baby" said Aunt Jade.

"no aunt. Well, let's be here any minute"

Mark Mcs. Millan and Spanish looked at each other. Spanish nodded in agreement.

"alright" said Dad at last.

"call your brother to come down" Jade asked Venus.

"iya ma" Venus rushed up the stairs towards the second floor.

*

They enjoyed the dinner menu served by the host. Aunt Jade is smart to cook, the food is good. Father and Spanish until asked permission to add the portion.

Parish itself enjoys Rice, vegetable gravy meat, spicy seasoning tempeh and crackers. The portion of the meal was just that, want as good as any other menu remains that he was looking for a home menu.

"cream fried chicken is delicious loh deck" said Spanish while showing off how to bite the chicken meat that looks tender and creamy.

Parish.

He looked towards Marsha. Maybe it's just his feelings, but it looks like Marsha stole a glance at him.

A little weird for Parish. Because it has been three meals together, this time Marsha is not cool with her own world. He watches people around him.

Parish was wrong. He focused on his plate and tried to act that it was just his feeling that Marsha had been focusing on him.

*

They're saying goodbye.

Aunty Jade, Marsha and Venus ushered all the way to the terrace.

Parish held her brother's arm. He's feeling dizzy. But she didn't want to make Father and her brother worry any more.

"father." said Parish.

"yes dear" His father turned his head and held gently on his daughter's cheek.

Suddenly Parish felt like there was an electric shock coming back to his head. His head hurt a lot, like it was on a stick with thousands of needles. It was so painful that he could feel nothing more.

Parish was unconscious.

Fortunately, Spanish was able to quickly capture his sister's body before falling on the floor.

Everyone seems worried. Mark Mcs. Millan called his daughter's name. He looks very anxious. And Spanish too. They know exactly what happened to their beloved. Trauma due to the incident then relapsed again. What is it, why is it like this. They're confused.

The Spanish immediately lifted his sister's body into his father's car. They're heading to the nearest hospital.
