A Handful of Love for You
50. Aaaargh...

Alena POV's

Actually this morning I was lazy to wake up, last night I slept a little night because after watching and playing with my beloved duo, I continued reading the novel in the library. Teh Iyah has a huge collection of new novels that I have never read. I just went to bed after midnight.

Although lazy to wake up and want to continue sleeping but I remember the promise to Aras and Aris to invite them to play to T Studio. My stomach also sounded indicating that I need food intake immediately.

With a staggering step as I was still sleepy, I came out of the room and went down towards the dining room for breakfast. I haven't had time to wash my face because I'm lazy with the cold water in the morning.

Seeing me like this my brother would grumble and advise me at length. He is the most disciplined and disciplined person. Do not like if there are things that are not in accordance with expectations and habits that are clean and neat.

You could say I'm the opposite of my sister. My brother is a very clean person, in contrast to me who does not care too much about cleanliness. To eat out alone, my brother was very picky and he would never eat by the side of the road or on the fifth foot. It's different than eating anywhere. If my brother will definitely take a shower before breakfast, different from me who will take a shower if it is done breakfast. My sister took a shower. She takes a bath at least 2 times a day and can spend a long time just to take a shower. Unlike me who is lazy to take a bath and will only take a bath once in my holiday and the duration for bathing is fairly lightning.

Mothers were astonished to see our habits and traits that were so opposite. My mom used to joke that our souls might be swapped.

Actually my brother had a mental disorder because he had experienced a kidnapping when he was a child. According to a story from my mother, my brother was held in a narrow and dirty room for days. After my brother was saved, he became frightened by the dirty and narrow place. He is now obsessed with cleanliness. He will not like dirty and irregular places including people who are less neat and less clean like me.

“Teeeeeh….Lena lapaaar.” I headed towards the dining room with my eyes not yet fully opened.

When I reached the dining room, I circulated my gaze to look for the whereabouts of Teh Iyah.

And he was there…

Aki looked at him who was feeding food into the mouth.

He looked at me with a surprised look.

Then I realized my appearance this morning.

Aaaargh…..

I turned around and ran towards the room.

After arriving at the room, I immediately searched my phone and contacted Teh Iyah.

After the phone connection was connected I immediately raised a protest to my sister-in-law.

“Teteeeeeh...why not tell Lena that Atep is here?”

“Teteh also did not know you suddenly appeared in the dining room. Had been a new Teteh want to wake you up at once want to wake up Aras and Aris. Not yet Teteh up to your room, you have come down.”

“Teteeeeh. Where Lena doesn't wear a veil. Lena hasn't washed her face yet, Lena's hair is disheveled. He must have seen that Lena was rich. Sebel...sebel...sebel..”.

I heard Teh Iyah giggling.

“Teteeeeh..malah ngetawain,” protest I was upset.

“Not ngetawain but Teteh happy because just got a very encouraging hint.”

“What do you mean by Tet? Lena doesn't understand,” my whistle.

“You said you were worried about Atep ilfil after seeing your disheveled appearance.”

“Who is worried. Lena's just shy,” my protest.

“Iya, yes.. just shy.” From the tone of Teh Iyah's voice, it seems like she doesn't trust me.

“Truly Tea..Lena just shy, no worries.” I fought with self-defense.

“Ya is already if not worried. Get downstairs for breakfast. Also wake up Aras and Aris!” the Iyah Tea Order.

“Lena don't want breakfast below. Just eat him later when he comes home.”

“What the hell are you, Len? Where there's Atep home. He's coming to pick you up and drop you guys off to T Studio.”

Oh my God, I forgot that we were planning to play together today.

How's this. My heart is pounding unbecoming. Why the hell, he had arrived early in the morning. Disturb the peace of others' lives.

“Quick down! Do not forget to wake Aras and Aris,” Teh Iyah command buzzed in my ear.

“Each Boss,” I replied.

I went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, got dressed, put on a hijab. After my appearance was neat enough, I headed to Aras and Aris' room to wake them up.

“Aras...Aris..build.” I shook the bodies of Aras and Aris.

Since there was no reaction from them, I also kissed their faces.

After I attacked them with a kiss, they wriggled their bodies.

“Wake up! Mang Atep has already picked up. We're going to T Studio.” I continue to kiss the face of my beloved duo.

Hearing the name of his beloved uncle, they immediately opened their eyes and woke up.

“Come aunty!” bring them compact.

“Huh you guys this. Aunty kisses not waking up. Once Auntie calls your mamang name, wake up.” I grumbled in annoyance, a little jealous because it seemed like they were closer to Atep.

“Mang Atep is really coming, Tan?” ask Aris.

“Come Aunty!” take Aras while pulling my hand. Aris has run first.

“Aris...wash face first. Later Dad gets angry if not wash your face,” call me.

Aris who had already run towards the stairs, suddenly stopped and turned around.

“Aris forgot..he-he-he.”.

Aras washes his face first followed by Aris. They already know that their father does not like things that are not clean and not neatly arranged.

After Aras and Aris finished washing their faces, the three of us went straight down towards the dining room.

In the dining room, I saw that he had finished his breakfast and was now helping Teh Iyah wash their used utensils.

“Mang Atep!” Aras and Aris called out to their uncle and immediately slipped on his arm.

“Aras..Aris. Eat first!” my brother's orders are firm. My brother is disciplined and firm, so no wonder if he treats his children with harshness and discipline.

Aras and Aris immediately did what their father told them to do, sitting sweetly in front of their plate containing a favorite breakfast menu, fried rice made by Teh Iyah.

After finishing the drink, my brother immediately interrupted Teh Iyah who was peeling the fruit.

“Tuh..Tante see Daddy. Father's habit every morning is so,” said Aris with a mouth full of rice.

I chuckled at Aris's words. While Aras focus on spending his breakfast.

“Good morning Beautiful Aunt,” suddenly she is already sitting opposite me with a smile painted on her fresh face.

I pretended to focus on feeding fried rice into my mouth.

“If you have a shower so it looks more fresh and beautiful,” god.

I pretended not to hear her words and stayed focused on finishing breakfast.

“Aras and Aris haven't showered yet huh?” Not getting any response from me, he turned his question to Aras and Aris.

“Built it later after breakfast. Aunty also if you stay here usually take a shower when it is noon,” chirps Aris open my bad habits.

Fucking kid. If you're not being too honest, can you? I'll be embarrassed.

“Ehem..

I coughed trying to stop Aris's babbling.

“Aris is done not eating yet?” my many.

“A little more, Tan,” replied Aris.

I saw Aras had finished breakfast and kept his old dishes in the wash.

After I finished breakfast, I immediately went to the dishwasher to wash the dishes used to eat. I dare not look at him.

“If the meal is up, the plate bring it here!” my orders are with Aris.

Not long after, Aris gave her empty plate. I was preparing to wash the dishes we had eaten.

In this house there is a housekeeper, but every weekends Teh Iyah and my brother give their workers a day off. So every weekend all family members must do things that are usually done by household assistants.

“I was the one who washed the dishes.” All of a sudden he was standing next to me and taking over the dishwasher sponge I was holding.

Then she opened the water tap and helped clean my hands of soap.

“You just sit there accompany Aras and Aris,” command.

I saw Aras and Aris already sitting in front of the television watching their favorite cartoon shows.

Not wanting to argue with him, I immediately obeyed his orders to watch with Aras and Aris despite the cartoon.

At first glance I looked towards the kitchen to find out what my brother and sister-in-law were doing. It turned out that my brother was still bothering Teh Iyah who was replied by a small punch and pinch. The world seems to belong to both of them. Often when they are alone they forget their twins. Fortunately, the twins were very understanding to their parents.

After a while, I drowned enjoying the cartoon I was watching. I laughed at the silliness displayed by the show that deserves to be watched by children but it turns out that even adults can be entertained by the spectacle of children.

Brugh….

I felt someone sitting next to me. And I'm sure he must be.

“You leave at what time?” tanyakanya.

“Serah.”

“Jam 9?” tanyakanya.

“OK.”
