Kapitel 5: Bright Sun
I opened my eyes widely to look at her one more time.
"Riki's girlfriend, aren't you ?"
Same question. I just froze, feel not strong enough to trying smile.
"Move aside will you? What a bother, where's Mama?" Riki said.
I was shocked when he took me by his arm and brought me into his house so suddenly. Her lovely sister followed us, I secretly envied her beauty. If her sister could be this beautiful, then how about his mother?
"Brother, who's her name?" Riki's sister whispered.
I put on a smile at the end. "Clarista Arum, You can call me Ta," I replied.
Her eyes sparkled when I mentioned my full name making it possible for anyone to fall in love with her. Her sweet face, her dashing smile, and her undulating hair.
"Get out the way, don't you get close to Rista, your face is annoying!"
I'm laughed looking at them. "You guys are funny," I blurted out without myself noticing.
Obviously, Riki overreacted. How can he look at me that close?
"Your laugh makes me addicted," he said.
It's like a blast in there. Isn't this too soon? No, am I doing this because I haven't been close to any man for a long time?
"Ugh, no, your flirt is totally not my type, it's annoying, you know! Look at Sister Ta who even couldn't say a thing. Bleach, Mama, your daughter about to throw up!"
"Hey you naughty little sister, Refi! Watch your life, or I will throw w you into the middle of a field!"
Thanks to the Refi taunting Roki I can finally breathe. Though he wasn't welcome me to sit down, he couldn't possibly keep me standing, could he? This long sofa feels so nice.
I looked around until my gaze was centered on a family photograph. There's Riki and his siblings in there. His mama and papa are good-looking, no wonder their child's like that.
And my most envious, in that frame revealed everyone who was laughing. I was an only child, but never did a family photo. More so when Saka is gone. It feels like there's really no way for me to live in peace anymore.
"Hi," said the person whose face I had just seen, inside the photo frame.
Though my mom had disappeared a long time ago and stopped taking care of me as her daughter,, I know enough about ethics. I shook her hand quickly.
"Morning, aunt, I'm sorry about playing in the morning," I said reluctantly.
It was obvious that Riki had brought me here not because of his mother. But even though I knew it, it's so weird that I just kept following him. I feel as though I don't want to away from him, he's the one who reached out so don't blame me for not letting go.
"Why are you so polite? No problem at all, I'm glad you're here," Riki's mama replied.
I, who originally stood up to shake her hand, was now forced to sit. The beautiful woman who looks at me deeply makes this heart just nervous. She laughed, I don't know what's funny but it just gave me a high.
"Well, now I think I know why he's always talking about Rista. You're cute, come by often, will you? A world as bright as the sun is far more pleasant than oppressive darkness," she said.
Confused? Yes, why she said it as though she knew everything. Though she's someone else, I'd much prefer this woman to not pretending knew anything.
Thanks to what she said, I'm I won't be here again after this no matter what. She's a real pain in the ass, huh? I hate her, for real.
"Yes, auntie," I replied shortly.
"Well, great! Since you had breakfast, why don't you help me cook? We'll have lunch together, I know you must be busy but come back later, will you? Riki never play took girls out, they say they're insecure when seeing Refi."
"Since you're the first one, would you like to have lunch with us?"
The pure glance of a mother. Mama looked at me like that, long ago, and now how can she do that? Would it be okay if I tried? Everything will be all right later, right?
"Am I allowed to?" I said lightly.
I can't believe the hobbies that were buried hundreds of days are still normal. I never thought I will still be able to cook at all. The clock just showed as half-past ten but the food was all served.
Riki's mama stared at me in disbelief. Refi who is just a taster all the way also shook her head several times. I saw her, she even ate first and not gave a damn with the lunch schedule.
"Brother, even though I was concerned about poor that girl who becomes your girlfriend, but if this like this, then it's okay. Or my sister Ta wants to be with Dimas instead? He's far more stable and perfect for you!"
She who was bursting made me laugh. She's too much, isn't she? It's just still early, yet she has eaten twice already.
"Who is a good match for brother?"
I was surprised by that question. Yeah, of course, I did because Riki was pulling up the chair I sat on right now.
"Just keep a distance from Dimas, she's a butterfly," he whispered, which made me confused.
A butterfly?
What was that supposed to mean?
Perhaps, a man who is sweet but leaves when he gets what he wants? Even though I don't have any friends, the term 'butterfly is far more dangerous than crocodile' has been sounded to my ear.
"Wow, who's this girl belong to?"
"Geez, brother! Don't fool around, she's my future sister, if brother wants to flirt, do it with the widow next door. If you want to get married I'll be the first and hardest person to say 'legal'!"
Cough!
I coughed at that incoherent speech. The widow next door, legitimate? How is this family mind going, actually?
"Oh, my god, Refi, you're giving me a hard time. Stop blurting nonsense, go and eat more! You can only make trouble," aunt blurted.
"Cih, it's a brother who started it. Ugh, it's me, but it's still true, isn't it, Ma? Look at brother Dimas's face much better than brother Riki's. I anticipated it, so I said that. Well, let's ask, according to sis Ta who is the most handsome of them?" Refi asked me.
I looked at someone Refi called brother, and then I turned to Riki.
"No one," I replied truthfully.
By the way, I want to ask, honestly. How can Refi talk so much in such a short time?
"Dang, aunt feel disappointed."
"Same here, mere too. That means you won't be coming again?"
Their two response made me want to nod but Riki interrupted first.
"No didn't mean she won't stay here tho, cut that up, why do you guys make such a scene? Brother, go take a shower, don't you dare to flirt with your sister-in-law!" Riki said nonsense.
Since when did I become his? We just met yesterday even though he knew me a long time ago.
"Cih, you dare you talked like that! Even she does not want you, wahahaha!"
But!
I winced when Riki threw a tissue box over his brother's face. But the strange thing is, no one showed pity, the whole people just laughed as it's just a normal funny thing. Again I wonder, what kind of mindset do they have?
As bright as the morning sun makes the flowers dance, isn't it?
