Catastrophe House
Little Girl Wants to Know

“Intinya, only I survived the incident.” muttered Hyeon Chul ending his long story.

Jennie closed her eyes for a while then took down a small pillow from her face and put it back on this living room sofa.

“Are you scared?” hyeon Chul asked after Jennie put the little pillow out of her face.

Jennie stared at Hyeon Chul for a while before turning on the television.

“Em, all the little ones will be afraid if you tell me like that.” Jennie replied softly.

“Then why do you cover your face with a pillow? You ‘kan was not looking at it, just heard.” asked Hyeon Chul again while smiling ignorantly.

“Hah? Hehe, but didn't your orphanage look for you?” jennie asked who wanted to change this conversation but subconsciously she made Hyeon Chul's aura turn sad, again.

“They also have nothing to lose if I mengaburkan?” hyeon Chul asked which sounded like a statement.

Jennie muttered in agreement to Hyeon Chul's words while nodding her head.

“Have you eaten?” jennie asked making Hyeon Chul smile stiffly.

”You want to eat?” jennie asked again to find out Hyeon Chul's giraffe.

“Yes! Have you not eaten yet? ” ask Hyeon Chul back.

“Not yet, I wanted to eat but you came so only now feel hungry.” explained Jennie before letting out her smile.

“Heuh! It was really urgent but lucky I got it.” muttered Mira who came out of the crowd of housewives, as well as young women who were crowded scrambling for luxury bags famous branded. One of them was obtained by Mira.

Dennis was surprised for a moment to see the messy state of Mira's hair and clothes.

“Ck, I should have married her when I was twenty-five years old so that her nature was not too childish.” murmured Dennis to Mira who was two meters away from her.

“What? I'm not childish, but of course a woman would be willing to rush to buy this luxury item. And again the price is cut to 40% percent.” Mira explained in self-defense.

“I mean your son is crying, you run away and leave. Your husband wants to go home soon, you take him to mall.”, Dennis said, staring at Mira flat.

Mira let out a sigh of resignation and then she clasped both of Dennis' palms.

“Sorry, I will correct my attitude.” Mira said as she looked at Dennis' palm.

Dennis smiled slightly then let go of Mira's grasp and pulled Mira's arm slowly.

“Come, our son is waiting.” invite Dennis to end the tension between them.

.***.

The roar of the car distracts Jennie who is sitting alone in the living room. Jennie immediately grabbed a key on the table and moved to the door she had locked.

“Honey! Dad missed you.” Dennis said as soon as he got out of his car.

Jennie returned her father's embrace more tightly to vanish everything she feared from this house.

“Sorry, dad came home late.” murmured Dennis before letting go of his embrace.

“I miss dad.” whine Jennie looks down on her dad.

Mira started to get out of the car and her gaze was fixed on Jennie and Dennis.

“Honey!” call Mira after Jennie also looks at her.

“Im sorry mom, yes?” mira muttered softly while looking at Jennie fixedly.

Jennie lowered her gaze from Mira and nodded in agreement with her mother's request.

“Jja! Now go in, the air outside is cold.” said Dennis mediating the conversation of these two women he loves.

.****.

Jennie's bored face was so clear when she had seen television with her father for waiting for Mira's cooking in the kitchen.

“What's mom still long?” muttered Jennie hugged the pink stuffed horse tighter.

“You're hungry?” asked Dennis who was beside him.

Jennie just nodded in response to Dennis' question.

“Then I want to go to the bathroom.” said Jennie then got off the sofa and headed to the bathroom which is located at the end of the house— adjacent to the backyard that is bounded by the walls of the house, which is, surely.

“Food immediately ready!” mira's words were heard in Jennie's hearing who had just come out of the bathroom.

Jennie previously wanted to return to the living room, but she remembered the story of Hyeon Chul who first saw the creature from the backyard.

With all his curiosity, he turned around. At first he only held a door knob connected to the backyard, then after a while collided with his mind. Jennie turned the door knob and opened it.

Cold, but not as cold when in the main yard of this house.

It's even colder and the air here feels thin.

Jennie stepped slowly sweeping the entire courtyard of this house with her gaze.

“Jennie!” call Dennis hard after he emerges from the door still open and stares at Jennie.

Jennie was shocked and soon saw Dennis scared.

“What are you doing here?” dennis asked sounded worried but also implied angry.

“I just want to see– “ replied Jennie puzzled to explain.

“Already, let's eat!” said Dennis walked over to Jennie and pulled Jennie's hand.

Jennie reluctantly followed Dennis and left a woman who was hanging herself with her long hair on the big tree, the woman swung her body wrapped in white cloth on the sturdy and large branch of the tree.

“Honey! Where are you from?” mira asked worriedly still while putting some dishes and dishes onto the dining table.

“Jennie to the backyard, I don't know what he did.” Dennis interrupted Jennie who changed her face to look moody.

Mira smiled soothingly at Jennie who looked glumly at her then pinched Jennie's chin softly.

“Jennie see what? Little fairy or pink horse horned rainbow?” janda Mira then showed her a human-shaped plastic doll wearing a ballet and a pair of wings on her back.

Jennie's gloomy face suddenly looks surprised and soon becomes cheerful knowing her mother bought her the doll she had always dreamed of.

“Wah, thanks mom!” jennie said she immediately took the doll from Mira's hand.

“Jaga is fine, do not get dirty or damaged, yes.” advice Mira after Jennie definitely took the doll.

Jennie smiles understandingly and starts eating at the table after Mira tells her to eat right away.
