DAMNED GIRL
30. UNFAIRLY

It's been a week but Mother and Liana are still cold to me, to the point that I don't think that I love Liana more than her flesh and blood.

Admission to junior high school has started no signs in this house in the warm talk between Mom and Liana to prepare all carefully.

Liana and Mom have talked a lot about school but not me.

Even until now I have not bought school clothes and other supplies for me. Talking reminds me of that, I never did

At two o'clock in the afternoon I was sitting on dry land behind the house, two hands propping up my chin looking at a bunch of ducks that remained in the cage.

So fixated on my sight I finally unconsciously daydreamed.

Someone patted me on the shoulder hard enough many times until I broke the daydream that I didn't know what I was thinking.

Suddenly I was shocked and quickly turned to look that Liana was behind me, her face was still not friendly to me

"From now I've called no horrors !" unluckiness

"Oh sorry I was daydreaming" I said

Without answering again, Liana turned her body "Called Mother Tuh" he said and went into the house first

Hearing him I rushed inside to see Mom, I was sure that Mom would take me to the market to buy me school supplies.

I stopped in front of Mom who was sitting on a floor with a mat surrounded by clothes.

Mother was folding clothes without noticing me in front of her

I call her "Mum"

But my mind seems wrong and I'm just going to tell her to help her fold her clothes.

But Mom didn't look at me, too, when she obviously realized I was in front of her head, but she was still busy folding

Mom took a few seconds to grab a white shirt with the yellow OSIS logo and a blue skirt to me

"It's take" he said

I accepted it not budging, I felt that the clothes that Mother gave me were not new clothes.

But I dare not ask him much

"Wear it, there was a neighbor who loved it. not enough than buy it again" he said

But I just nodded

Actually new or used clothes for me is not a problem but what I ask other school supplies, but unfortunately the question only reads in my mind.

I dare not say much to him

Mom just said that, not much she said to broaden my heart "Okay then you continue to fold her clothes yes, I want to take a nap first. I'm really tired" he said while putting down the clothes he had just folded.

Then he got up and went to his room without any other talk

Seeing her go inside her room, I finally continued Mom's work. While Liana sat down sweetly while snacking on the snacks she had just bought from the stall next door.

The crisp sound of hawker that he chewed soared at the crackles in my ears. I wanted to ask but that would not be possible.

Liana continued to coolly eat spicy crackers while watching the telivisi

"The crack is so spicy. Huh.huh.huh.hah" he said alone then ran to the kitchen and then came back again with a glass of water for him.

The crackers are still half left but apparently he can't afford to spend it

"Dispose ah, not good" he said and threw it away in the kitchen garbage bin

After she enjoyed her snacks she went into the room to take a nap without saying a word to me

While I keep folding enough clothes without even looking at her

Dusk was over apparently without realizing I had passed it in vain. Mother woke me who was sleeping while folding clothes.

"Dhira !" dial him

Slowly I opened my eyes and saw the figure of Mother who was still in the shadows.

Mother had already left her waist and started to vanish all her feelings towards me

"You I told you to fold your clothes but why are you sleeping ?" snapped

I just kept quiet

"If you sleep who tidies this house, I sleep because I'm exhausted !" heed

I just kept quiet because I felt guilty just being able to hear Mother's voice echoing in the room accompanied by a faint ring of crickets

The sudden sound of Pak Yanto's motorbike stopped in front of the house as if cutting off Mother's rising emotions.

I turned to the source of the voice even though Mr. Yanto was still blocked by the tightly closed door.

At that time Mother did not make a sound again, she immediately approached the door and opened it with a face like nothing happened

"Kok, you go home once a night ?" ask Mom

Slowly Mr. Yanto entered into "Yes, he met on the street so chat for a while" he replied

"But I haven't cooked anything, today I'm exhausted. He fell asleep and just woke up just now" said Mother

"Oh it's okay, I just happened to eat fried food as well as mine so not so laper" he said as he approached me

"Are you folding your clothes ?" he told me

I answered him with a nod of my head

"Have you eaten ?" tannya

I shake my head

Then Mr. Yanto turned his head to Mother's face "Why haven't you prepared to cook for the children, Ma'am ?" tannya

Mom was quiet and a little misbehaved

"It should be at this hour the children are full" said Mr. Yanto

Without replying to Mr. Yanto, Mom rushed straight to the kitchen to cook. His steps hurriedly took action

Pak Yanto's steps shifted to Liana's room, then he found Liana sleeping but he did not wake her before asking Mother

"Why is Liana sleeping at seven like this, is she sick again ?" tannya

"Oh, he took a nap but apparently didn't wake up until this hour" Mother replied

Mr. Yanto sighed and went back into Liana's room to wake her up

"Liana !" dial him

But Liana had no response

Mr. Yanto woke him up again this time with a loud tone of "Lian !" dial him

Finally Liana woke up "Dad ?" call slowly

"You can still sleep while your brother is still working !" he said it out loud

Liana immediately did not accept the statement of her father "I will sleep again, after all it is her duty" he said

Hearing it, Pak Yanto climbed more and more

"It's not just his job but it's your job together. Now that you're awake, if you haven't helped him through that, it means you can't have dinner !" firmly Mr. Yanto.

Liana who heard him immediately raged "I don't want to, I'm tired !" ketch

Seeing Liana's increasingly arrogant attitude to his own father, almost Pak Yanto lost his patience, because Mom quickly broke up their dispute with a soft tone

"Already, Dad, don't be the same Liana. From this afternoon Liana had tidied up the house, now it was Andhira who folded clothes. Even Andhira his task is only to fold. So you don't misunderstand me" he asked

Pak Yanto was silent to hear it even though it was implied that his face was not so trusting in Mother's words.

But it seems like I have not succeeded in convincing Mr. Yanto

"You're sure Liana tidied up the whole house ?" ask her to Mom

Hearing her Mom turned nervous "He's right" she replied

"Didn't you just say all day that you were sleeping, where do you know ?" tannya

"Yes before I go to sleep, I see Liana washing dishes" he replied
