Young Master Liem

Chapter 3 The Sweet and the Drunk

The previous day Parjiyem, now called The Sweet, was brought to Chinatown to buy new clothes and also treated the best chicken noodles in the area. As a woman, of course she was happy to have many new clothes and no day without a good meal after she joined Young Master Liem. But he did not really know the young man. Young Master Liem was like the Moon, having a bright and charming side, but the Moon also had a pitch-black side that was usually invisible from the earth.

Coincidentally that day Young Master Liem with Uncle A Seng and some of his men who are not only from the Chinese, but also natives and Indo people who are not recognized by his biological father, he said, drinking wine together. They drank wine at the Wan Siang residence and chatted, occasionally tinged with laughter. The sweet who tried to sleep in his room so could not sleep because of the noise they caused.

At ten o'clock in the evening, then the noise ended because the guests of Wan Siang had gone home. When Sweet tries to close his eyes to sleep, unexpected things happen. The door was knocked by Wan Siang, because the door was locked from the inside.

“Sweetie, open the door!” the voice of Wan Siang was uncontrollable.

“Iya, Sir..” Inevitably Sweet had to cancel his plan to sleep and hastily open the door for Wan Siang.

The young man surnamed Liem staggered. Sweet immediately knew that his young master was heavily drunk. But before there was a word that slid from Wan Siang's mouth, the man pulled Sweet's hand and took Sweet to his own room.

“Pijit my head, I'm dizzy,” orders Wan Siang.

Wan Siang dragged Sweet to his bed and told him to sit there. After Sweet sat down, then Wan Siang put his head on the girl's thigh.

“Come massage my head, Sweet.”

Sweet never once associated with men because it is always protected by his father. Now that his father has abandoned him, he can no longer take refuge from male distractions. The incident that night really frightened him, moreover he had to overcome a drunk man who wanted to be sewn on his head.

With a troubled heart and trembling body, Sweet incised Wan Siang's head. Wan Siang's head felt heavy on the girl's thigh. If in a conscious state, it is impossible for Wan Siang to do that to Sweet because he is always indifferent, as if not interested in Sweet one bit. But Wan Siang's indifferent attitude in a conscious state made Sweet feel safe. In a state of drunkenness, the attitude was lost changed with a spoiled attitude like a child.

Sweet seems to be good at massaging, because he is often told to massage his father whose legs are often sore. That skill can finally be felt by Wan Siang, because his head feels better when it is kneaded by Sweet.

“I love your massage,” Wan Siang praises, while her eyes are closed. His voice was still blaring from drunkenness.

“Thank you, Mr.”

Wan Siang lost consciousness and began to fall asleep. But he didn't let Sweet go back to his room. Wan Siang slept hugging the thighs and legs of the Sweet One, his body overriding the girl's lap, until he could not move his legs to move.

The Sweet tried to lift Wan Siang's body, but he was so thin while Wan Siang was big and stocky. If you stand alone, the head of the Manis is only as high as the shoulder of Wan Siang.

“Aduh, he was very heavy, I could not lift him,” complained the Sweet One.

“Okay how is this, I can't go, time yes have to be here until morning?” The Sweet tried to lift, push, shift Wan Siang's body in order to leave, but failing that, the young master was too heavy for him.

The storm had passed because Wan Siang had fallen asleep, but the Sweet So forced to spend the night in Wan Siang's room. For the first time the innocent virgin girl spent the night in a man's room. His feelings were mixed between fear and shame. In a state of sleep, Sweet dared to look at Wan Siang's face fixedly.

The man was indeed very handsome, his eyes, nose and lips were perfect. But why does this man have such a strange temperament, why does he love to gamble and drink, what kind of family educates him? A few questions came to mind Sweetie.

***

Liem Wan Siang was the first child of Mr and Mrs Liem's family. He has a younger brother named Liem Sun Kwan and a younger sister named Liem Siaw Cing. Sun Kwan was born from a different mother's womb.

Mr and Mrs Liem are married because they are betrothed, they are not married out of love. Long before the two were married, Mr. Liem had a lover, a beautiful but poor Chinese girl. Therefore, Mr. Liem was scolded by his parents when expressing the desire to marry his lover the poor girl.

After Mr. Liem married Lady Liem who was considered equal, the man was secretly still in contact with his lover, until the lover was pregnant. But sadly, during childbirth, her lover died. Mr. Liem decided to take care of the baby, gave his surname, and named the child Liem Sun Kwan. He brought baby Sun Kwan to his home to be treated.

At that time Liem Wan Siang was three years old and very happy when he saw Sun Kwan who he considered his sister. Unfortunately that happiness was not felt by Mr. Liem's legitimate wife. The woman instead behaved coldly to Sun Kwan and looked at the child with one eye. She also hated seeing her husband watching the child of the affair.

Ny's Heart. That hate-filled Liem made her grow into a cold and ambitious mother figure. He did not want his biological son to lose to Sun Kwan in any case. Wan Siang and Sun Kwan were taught by a teacher who was brought home. They were taught reading, writing, arithmetic and manners. In addition to reading and writing in Chinese, both are also taught to read and write in Latin and Malay.

Wan Siang grew up to be a child who always felt depressed by his mother. She desperately needs the love of a mother. When he grew up, he wanted to be able to escape from his mother and live independently.

When Wan Siang was ten years old, her mother gave birth to a daughter named Liem Siaw Cing. It seemed that Siaw Cing was the medicine for Wan Siang's grief. Her sister is so cute and adorable. Both Wan Siang and Sun Kwan loved Siaw Cing very much. The three of them grew up together like a younger brother.

Wan Siang never hated Sun Kwan because his half-brother always respected him and knew himself. Sun Kwan knows Mrs. Liem disliked him because of his father's past, so he was very careful in his attitude. What made him survive in the midst of the Liem family was the affection of his father and two brothers. Sun Kwan grows up to be a sweet and submissive child.

Liem Siaw Cing was her only daughter, her presence in the family was like a flower growing in the middle of a meadow. So beautiful and attractive. The girl was soft-hearted and easy to love. But Ms. Liem often treated her like a doll.

Siaw Cing was given beautiful clothes according to his taste. Liem and was told to wear heavy jewelry to make her appearance stand out among other girls. Though Siaw Cing is not so fond of wearing heavy jewelry. If the mood of the girl is bad, she will throw her jewelry on the floor, of course it is done when her mother is not there.

In addition to heavy jewelry, Siaw Cing was also ordered to wear small shoes that are very uncomfortable to wear. Mrs. Liem deliberately put on small shoes so that his child's feet do not grow wide and remain small, because he thinks that small feet are more beautiful to look at.

Ny's Purpose. Liem raised and dressed Siaw Cing so much so that his daughter could grow into a beautiful girl who would later be able to be nurtured by a rich family. Of course it makes the inner Siauw Cing depressed. The depressed feelings of Wan Siang and Siaw Cing towards the biological mother is what makes them both love each other. Although living in a luxurious house and never lack of anything, but they feel like they are in an occupying camp.

When morning came, Sweet woke up from his sleep. He woke up with a position still leaning to the base of Wan Siang's bed. Wan Siang was still asleep in a state of hugging the legs of the Sweet One. Suddenly the man also woke up and realized what was happening.

“Why are you here?” asked Wan Siang to Sweet.

“Night Sir pulled me into this room, because Mr. dizzy and asked to be taken by a massage,” replied Sweet timidly.

“Hah?! Ask you to massage me?” Wan Siang was surprised by Sweet's confession.

Wan Siang knew people often do strange things while drunk, even troublemaking. Sometimes he does it himself. Still Wan Siang was shocked himself when told that when drunk the night before he asked a girl to go into his room and scowl. But he tried to keep his expression flat, even though in his heart he could not think of his own behavior.

“Enight Master hugged my leg, so I can't move.”

Wan Siang could not argue because he himself woke up in a state of hugging the legs of the Sweet One. He could not hide his red face. Because Wan Siang's skin was so spotless white, the red color on his face from embarrassment was obvious.

Usually if he was drunk he just slept in his room until the morning arrived, but when there was the Sweetie, somehow he thought to drag the girl into his room.

When the chaos in the minds of Sweet and Wan Siang was not completely over, suddenly the two of them were shocked by the door of the room that suddenly opened, then a young man and a girl entered. Sun Kwan and Siaw Cing. The two Wan Siang sisters were also shocked when they saw her brother in the room with a woman.

“Koh Wan Siang?!” exclaimed Siaw Cing, while Sun Kwan was also surprised but said nothing.

“Heh, why not tell me first if you want to come here?” asked Wan Siang in a sewot tone.

“We just want to take Koh Wan Siang to the temple, we have not prayed together for a long time,” said Sun Kwan. They invited Wan Siang to the temple in an improper condition.

“I'm not interested in the temple, you guys are leaving. My head is still dizzy,” Wan Siang refused, and it is true, after being drunk all night his head felt dizzy.

Siaw Cing and Sun Kwan looked at each other, it seemed like they failed to take their brother to the temple together. Then the two of them looked towards the Sweet One whose face looked down in embarrassment. What really happened between her brother and the Javanese girl? They were really curious about it.
