DON'T COME TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING

DON'T COME TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING
THEY'RE BACK


I was busy putting their suitcases in the trunk. Brother Joe and his wife came down from upstairs. Hana and Hara were waiting outside with me.


The twins do not want to separate. Several times I had to coax him into the car seat. Seeing Sister Rose come down, I wanted to finish my pent-up questions about the money and perfume. Just about to welcome him, Brother Joe darted quickly down. Finally I paled.


There's still a lot I want to ask him, too, but they're in a hurry to catch a flight. I wanted to take them to the airport, but Joe's brother forbade it because it was night. Besides, maybe he was afraid of going home stray like my story the other day when he called to go to the city library. I suck at reading maps. Though at that time gmaps already lit.


"We say yes first. Take good care of yourself here. Maybe you'll come here more often because of office business even though not with children"


I'm nodding. Brother Joe ruffled my hair. I hugged her one by one, until it was Brother Rose's turn. He seems to be answering the phone. I see, the woman was just pretending.


"Don't be naughty at home. Say hello to grandma yes" They did call my mother as grandmother.


"Good aunty. Sorry if we've been troublesome"


I stared at the nano. The twins hugged me once again. Tighter. It's like it's still hard to part. I gave them their brown coats. Next to me stood Sissy the cat that Hana and Hara had yesterday. He pulled his tail slowly. It was like saying goodbye because I felt lost.


I waved my hand as the taxi driving them away grew further and further away from the road, engulfed in the dim light of the city.


"Let's go Sissy. ah you're so heavy now"


I carried him inside. The golden-colored female cat again wagged her tail.


***


In the morning, I woke up to the noise below. Scroll clock pink plug on the table. It's too early. Slacking half-heartedly down the stairs. Several times I still yawned because last night doing assignments from art lecturers.


I saw Eva and Lily busy opening shopping bags. While the other children unpacked the suitcase.


"The princess is awake"


I just smiled in response to Eva's chattering while throwing a white stuffed cow at her that I had brought from the room. He laughed


"You guys are so noisy. Where can I sleep"


Mutted


"Hey, miss.. are you having a party here ? What party up to the walls of this room full of lipstick scribbles"


Ask Eva with a glance. While the others winked at me.


Ah, goddamn. I forgot to clean up Hana and Hara's graffiti.


"You don't think shit. My niece came here and it was them"


They looked like they couldn't believe it. I was upset that I was going back to my room. The school starts in two days. During the holidays there was nothing interesting I could do. Huft. I weakly pulled the blanket.


Half an hour eleven noon. No activity sounds below. Maybe they sleep tired. I wake up to make coffee. The plan today is only spent at the supermarket even if it is not my schedule to shop. After all, it is not hearty to tell Nina and Cindy who just returned home from vacation even though it is their turn.


After breakfast of whole wheat bread with pot jam, I saw Lily coming down the stairs to the kitchen.


"The others are still sleeping ?"


Ask when I see you alone.


"You yourself why you're awake"


I noticed he was busy looking for something in the fridge.


"Well, the milk's up"


I just nodded. My mouth is still full of chewing bread. Because the milk courier subscription in this weather will usually be two and three days late. We understand. Who wants to drive milk early in the morning in the cold weather like this.


"I'll buy it in the supermarket"


I said briefly. Lily turned her head while smiling spoiledly giving a thumbs up. The child can not sleep well if previously did not drink hot milk. I thought he was going to continue sleeping, apparently wanted to play online games only.


"Don't tell me at Jenny's aunt's house you played games too"


My investigation. He laughed.


"Disana boring. I'm not at home. We wanted to go home but it wasn't good with Jenny" she moaned


According to Lily's story, for almost a week she spent at her aunt Jenny's house accompanied by Nina and Cindy. The holiday was far from their expectations. Because Jenny and Eva would rather go to a place like a pub at night and go home in the early hours.


I can only be quiet. That's Eva. Sometimes I want to advise him. But he was like a child who did not want to be advised. We call her the queen of the party. Almost every weekend he goes out at night, comes home with a different guy. Of course, in a drunken condition


"You know, even he never came home. We feel bad about Aunt Jenny"


I'm a little surprised. Lily nodded.


"Said Jenny, he had invited Eva home because she was too drunk. He even told Jenny to go home first even they almost had a fight there. Eva said she could get home safely"


"Can't you be contacted ?"


"Can but our call is not raised. He just got home"


I let out a breath. Actually, I tried to warn you. But he remains ignorant. Eva always switched the subject. I'm not a good person, but I understand what he's doing is not something that can be called good anyway.


Lily's back upstairs. I'm still pensive at the dinner table. Eva got out of the room. He evaporated many times.


"Ah my body hurts all. Looks like I'm gonna have a fever"


Death approached me.


I'm unmoving. There was a bit of disappointment in Eva. But how else. That's life. Maybe he has too much trouble spending his money. Moreover, as Lily said, the pub that Jenny and Eva visited was an expensive pub.


Only certain people, as well as bosses are able to get there. Of course, all of Jenny's accommodations were covered by Eva when she entered the pub. Because I'm sure, it's the main destination there during the holidays.


Eva looked at me from the top down.


"You want to go ?"


I nodded lazily.


"Oh yeah, I forgot. About yesterday. I've been telling you something"


"About what?"


"My friend wants to meet you. But I don't know, until now he hasn't called me anymore"


Honestly, I forgot about that. Unimportant


"Eva, Lily said you never came home ?"


It's ambush. While looking at me, his face suddenly turned bright. He moved his chair closer.


"I really want to tell you later. But since you already asked yes I'll tell you all now"


He paused for a moment. Stareawed.


"It seems like I'm starting to fall in love"


"Ha ...?"


I was shocked. I know Eva is not the kind of person who can fall in love with one man. All he knows is just having fun with changing men.


"But he's different. That night after the pub, he wanted to drive me home. Since I was lazy after arguing with Jenny, I decided to go wherever she wanted to take me. But what he did. He instead booked me a hotel room and we slept separately while he was on his couch"


Speak with sparkling eyes


"You're after the guy?"


He shook


"When you wake up, the room is empty. Breakfast tray is served at the table. There's a letter from him. You know what it is ? TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF. Ah, how could I not fall in love with such a sweet man. He's really very different from the other jerk guys I used to meet at parties"


Eva told me so enthusiastically.


I smiled hearing it. Hopefully it will bring good things for him.


"I'm leaving first"


Saying later.


"Where are you going ?"


"Just go to the supermarket for a little while"


"Should I come ? At least I want to be a woman in general who shops vegetables and cooks. Yes, that guy looks grown up. Maybe that way he'll be interested in me"


I laugh. Eva's shopping for vegetables ? Cooking ? His monthly shopping turn alone he was always absent and entrusted everything to me. Not to mention the idea of keeping an Australian cat, which on the end was also me who was told to take care because he was too complicated with such a thing. Like the word, just take care of himself he already seems difficult. Why bother, his parents are rich. His life was instant because there was a maid.


Before the conversation grew worse, I left ready to wear boots. He screamed while laughing. Right, this house is always crowded with Eva's voice. I smiled and stepped out.
