The arrival of Aunt Riri

Until I check my phone again. I hope that Nonik replies to my message. But apparently there is no. I couldn't even eat anything all day. My hunger suddenly disappeared from thinking about it. All I have in mind right now is Nonik. I looked around my room.

When I saw the dining table I imagined Nonik sitting there and talking to me. As I stared at the bathroom, I imagined Nonik calling me and asking me to get him a towel. The girl had a habit of always forgetting to bring a towel when taking a bath, so I always put the towel first in the bathroom.

As I stared at our bed, I was reminded of the Nonic habit of always telling stories before closing my eyes and I always listened faithfully to whatever he said, although sometimes my eyes feel so sleepy but I always try to hold it until he falls asleep first.

Unknowingly my tears had trickled down remembering that I was alone here. Tomorrow I'll try to persuade Nonik that he'll come back with me. I decided to go to bed, but suddenly someone knocked on my door.

In an instant my eyes immediately sparkled .

" It must have been the Nonik that came, because there was no way anyone else would have come this late at night" I muttered directly out of my bed.

With a hasty step I opened the door to my room, but I was surprised because the one who came was not Nonik, but Aunt Riri with some big man.

" Aunty ? Why is Auntie here ?" I looked at him sharply.

" Aunty's here because she wants to pick you up. Now you better go home,"

" Sorry, Auntie . I don't want to go home,"

" You can't refuse Aunt's orders. Now it's better we go home or Auntie will use violence" threatened Aunt Riri with her eyebrows at the same time knotted and curved.

" But I still don't want to go home. I hate Auntie. Because Aunt Nonik left me. I'll never forgive Auntie. Better get out of here now, Auntie" I said with a fiery face.

I turned my body around to go into the room. I was just about to step up, but suddenly someone hit me from behind until I fainted.

An hour later, my eyelids blinked around the blue room. The ceiling of his room is also different from my room in the room. I am very familiar with this room. This room is my room in Grandma's house .

" What really happened ? Why am I here ? " i thought while remembering what happened.

After a few minutes I finally remembered everything. This is Aunt Riri's doing. He's so outrageous. He used to give me the solution to marry Nonik, now he also asked Nonik to stay away from me. He thinks we're a toy ?

I got out of my bed and rushed to my door. I slowly pulled the algae on my room door. I've pulled my room door algae many times, but the door can't be opened at all .

" Fuck ! Looks like the door was locked from the outside by Aunt Riri," I grumbled furiously.

" Aunty, please open the door ! Auntie, please open the door," I shouted as I banged on my door very loudly. But my bedroom door wasn't opened either.

I slammed the things in my room, then shouted loudly to let out the anger I was feeling right now.

Not long after my door opened. I saw Aunt Riri come in with a tray full of food.

" I want to get out of here" I shouted as I looked at him with sharp eyes and full of fury.

He went out and locked the door again.

I ruffled my hair in frustration. I didn't touch the food that Aunt Riri brought. Right now I will wait until Aunt Riri falls asleep and after that I will go out through the window.

An hour later, my door opened. I thought it was Auntie herself, but my guess turned out to be wrong. The one who opened my door was Grandma.

" Granny, would you please let me out of here, Grandma ? " my words while looking at her .

" You take it easy, Grandma will definitely help you. Oh yes, can you eat the food that was brought by Aunt Riri ? " ask Grandma while looking at me with a curious face.

" No Grandma, I can't touch that food at all. I have no appetite" I said

" Good then. Good thing you didn't eat that food" Grandma said as she sat beside me.

" Why is that?" I asked with a very confused face.

" Juan, Aunt Riri and Om Yuda are planning something bad for you. Yesterday Grandma overheard them chatting in Om Yuda's room" she said, looking at me.

" What plan, Grandma ? " i asked while raising my eyebrows out of curiosity.

" Om Yuda and Aunt Riri are after your parents' property. That's why you were told to part with Nonik, it's because Aunt Riri and Om Yuda want to drive you crazy and then kill you with drugs. The food that Auntie Riri brought was already filled with medicine that would drive you crazy. But thankfully you didn't touch the food. I don't think Grandma can believe that Grandma's two children are so kind to her own niece,"

My eyes were wide open hearing everything. Just because of a treasure they want to kill me. Do they not remember the kindness of the late Mama and Papa first ? They are like the heart of the devil.

" Juan, you need to get out of this house right now. It's dangerous if you're here. Now Grandma's gonna help you get out of here. And take this card. This is Grandma's savings. It used to be that your late parents every month always sent money with an amount that was never small. So every month money is given by alharhum Mama Papamu, Grandma always save the monthly money is half. You take it easy Aunt Riri and Om Yuda do not know about Grandma's savings money," Grandma said while giving me a card.

" I'm sorry, Grandma. I can't take this money," I refused

" If you don't want to accept this money, then where will you get the money from ? There's no way you're going back to work in a restaurant. Especially now that you already have a wife" Grandma explained with a serious face.

What Grandma said was true. I can't possibly go back to work there.

" Alright, Grandma. I got the money," I said, taking the card.

" You take it easy, tomorrow Grandma will try to talk to Nonik to get him back to you" Grandma said as she rubbed my head.

" Thank you, Grandma," I said, hugging her.
