Cliches
23. Shopping

Mom and Dad came in with smiles. Adhan and I welcomed them warmly. Like a habit at an early age. Every time you leave the house, he always brings me souvenirs. This time my father bought me a gift too.

“ typical batik dress Lombok? “

“ yes, try dad sure very fit for you dear”

“ and this from mom “ my mom thrusting a pitch black box. I accepted and immediately opened it with a happy feeling. How surprised I am, this is a fancy jewelry set. Starting from necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. A complete package I never thought I would.

“this jewelry is not excessive mother? “

“nothing excessive, all fitting for you “

my mother smiled gently and grabbed me into her arms. I am happy and also sorry. Poor for Adhan who must have felt ignored this time.

“ then, what is just a beloved sister who got souvenirs “ jealous voice was clearly heard__hahahah_

“of course dad also got souvenirs for the boys pride Dad. This is for you “

Adhan accepted it, he put away the evil face he had put on.

“ shirts, very nice daddy. Thanks “

dad allowed us to try this. I ran into my room and tried on my dress and all my jewelry. And with Adhan, he tried his shirt too. After that we went back to our parents, they smiled happily and gave compliments. But, as soon as I and Adhan check on each other. There was something strange about what we were wearing.

“ this outfit,why Daddy's likeness? “

“ why the same? “ emotions enslave between us, why did you choose the same clothing motif? It's like a couple.

“ really why if the same, you do not like? “

No dislike, but we just feel weird. Especially me, I used to be very happy to wear things that look couple with Adhan. Now no, I prefer things that are not the same as anyone.

...--------o0o------...

I woke up early this morning, I saw my mother watering flowers in the yard. I'm surprised by this family, they do everything on their own without any housemaids. That's why every time there are no parents, Adhan and I always choose to buy food outside. Maybe this is also why Adhan used to take me to dinner, or accompany me to lunch. After watering the flowers, I helped my mother decorate the room with various colors of flowers. Mothers prefer to use real flowers as room fragrances.

She looks very determined and graceful with everything she does. All remind me of my late mother. He smiled gently at me. It didn't take long to get close to a stepmother like her. He painstakingly taught me this and that, as well as all that I had never learned. We also cook together, he taught me to mix spices, stir fry and even make vegetable sauce. Though not a genius, I was perceptive enough to receive a lesson from this meek mother.

“wisuda sister,stay waiting for bu day. Is he ready?clothes, I have not seen him choose a suitable shirt, the suit is also a tie “

“ you're right, you haven't prepared your shoes yet. How about tonight we shop ?, you also have to choose the right dress to attend your sister's graduation “

“ Maruko chan it can never choose mother's clothes. She always gets the wrong costume at every event “

Adhan suddenly came and took out an argument that I thought was very mocking. But she was right, I could never determine which clothes were suitable for certain occasions. I snorted furiously. He's a good brother right, a brother who likes to mock is also right.

Tonight, our family went shopping. We chose a special outfit for Adhan's graduation day.

Dresses, shirts, shirts, suits, shoes look very busy choosing the one that really fits. I was hooked on a very neat mannequin wearing a white shirt with a maroon tie and a black suit. This mannequin is very elegant and...

“ ahem... “ I'm up for a quick look at Adhan perched next to me. The dehem made me go wrong. He brought his face closer to me, what did he want? does he want me to slap him? I pulled my body back.

“ say that you are imagining Firas wearing that “ he glanced at the mannequin that had caught my attention.

“ no “

“ if you wear it will be very bad “

we stood straight facing this neat mannequin. Unexpectedly, Adhan placed his left arm on my left shoulder. It was like he was enjoying the natural scenery.

“ are you starting to be interested in Firas? “

it was so relaxing that he said that, while I was just silent, I did not respond. Maybe right or maybe wrong. I don't know for sure either. I only think about Firas a lot. And also pay a little attention to him__hehehe__

“ you guys, what are you doing? hurry up and try these clothes “

mother's voice resuscitated us. I have reason to leave Adhan. Mom has chosen clothes that are ready for me to try, mom also chose for Adhan. Maybe today Adhan got hit or how, he stopped my step towards the dressing room.

“you just sit here first, I will try my clothes and you guys judge. Which will be graduated by me, so I must first be considered “

his cold and stern style of speech I could hear clearly. We comply with his request. There's probably an hour he changes clothes, a long time he's in the dressing room. Though mom just wanted him to try on a suit, shirt and tie. But complete with pants too. But what's it gonna be all this time?

Did he take a shower and wash his clothes inside? or is he sewing clothes?

“ mom, does she cook in the locker room? “

“ you are there-just Zhu, maybe the size is less fitting “

“but he... “ I said stopped seeing Adhan already out of the dressing room. All right, what he's wearing right now is very fitting and charming. Adhan was charming, and his charm always emanated.

Mom stood up to fix a little collar on her shirt. I thrust the blue tie that you chose. Mother is very adept at putting a tie, in an instant the tie was very neatly attached.

“ How Zhu? “

mother asked for my opinion, while Adhan was just a vague grin. He must have felt very satisfied, because indeed the charm was never dim. I just nodded obediently, to my mother's opinion.

After that, my mother asked me to try the dress she chose for me. I think my mother was a very careful person in choosing. He chose a dress that was very fitting and I think it fits. Both color and design. I came out of the dressing room with an erratic heart, I was not prepared for Adhan's response.

It felt like the first time we chose clothes and commented on each other. At that time, when I was still very lulled by his charm. Unlike the current situation that has revealed that he is my brother. My eyes widened, looking at the feet of Firas and Jinny in front of my eyes. They sat in a row with Adhan and my mother. A little confused I looked at them. They just stare at me. My heart grew less and less troubled as I looked at the face of Firas. Immediately I neutralized the situation, even though it was still with my heart beating I put on a smile and greeted Jinny.

“ Jinny, are you here ? “

“ very beautiful, you are very fit to wear this dress “ Jinny scattering a hug on my body.

Many times she cradled the dress I was wearing, my mother also approached me to slightly tidy up the folds on my shoulders. I spread a smile receiving praise from Jinny and mother.

“ Firas, not addressed? “ Adhan spoils the atmosphere, my heart is more spontaneous I give a smile.

“ hi brother Firas, will you also shop? “
