Happiness is Hard
My family
...I'm Beatrice Ivenna and used to be called Rici by the people around me. I am the second of three children....
...People say I live a happy life because I was born in a rich family and have a beautiful sister and a cute sister. They think I'm always spoiled by my brother and they also think my sister always acts cute in front of me....
...I can't blame those who think that way because they only see the harmony of our family when outside the house, not when we are inside the house. Maybe for my brother and sister this house is a spacious palace but for me this house is nothing more than a luxurious prison....

"Rici.. Can you come here for a second?? Mama wants to talk to you".
I rushed over to my mother who was in my brother's room, "Yes, why?" my many.
He immediately pulled out a bright yellow shirt from the big bag in front of him and matched the shirt on my body, "Well this one fits perfectly, for you huh? he said you wanted new clothes..It's Audy's sister in High School and it's not fit but it's still good.. Look good, right?"
"Yes, it's nice, but I don't think I fit this shirt.. Mama will know if I like dark color clothes" I said while thrusting the clothes back.
"Duhh already Rici.denger aja what mama said!! Your brother is kind enough to give his clothes to you. Honey if these clothes are thrown away because it is still good.if you wear this shirt we can save money than to buy your new clothes.." mama answered while taking all the clothes and forcibly giving them to me.
"Thank you, Rici?? If you're not the one wearing it, who else is it? I was going to love the beggar in front of the road but I think this is more suitable for you and you know it was bought from the work of my brother? So you think you are mending love to your favorite sister, that is you" said my brother while smiling sweetly and stroking my head.
...This is my sister, her name is Audy Francisca. My sister is a very beautiful woman with white skin, slim body, and, the nose is sharp and the eyes are round so that people call it an angel because of its beautiful face and good nature....
...To those who did not know him well his words were like one who was thinking about his sister, but to me he seemed to be likening me to a beggar who was fit to wear second-hand clothes....

"Cats.. Engined sister game dong!! This PlayStation just like any other mess gini. Do you feel uncomfortable when you see a messy house?!! You should have sorted it out right away don't wait to be told!" my mother said as she played the phone on the living room couch with the rest of the family.
"That's Alan's toy why should I do it? We all agreed to take care of all the things we used ourselves. Where's Alan going, too? It should have been before Alan left to finish his own toy" I replied.
"Your sister is still a child!! He still needs time to play, anyways what's wrong if you help him clean up? you don't want to be told by mama?So the point is that you immediately tell mama to clean up Alan's toys because Alan doesn't exist? so you want it?!!".
"not mah.. Which is my question why I always finish the toys. Alan is big..Alan already knows how to clean his own toys, we should be more assertive to Alan so it does not become a habit" I explained.
"So you don't want to be told to Mama?! I'm so sorry if you're interrupting your precious time!".
"That's a mah, there's also a sister Audy..uh he's playing hp in front of mama right? sister Audy should also help mama clean up Alan's toys rather than playing hp continues" I said while pointing at Audy.
My father, who heard my words, immediately stood up as he slammed the table in front of him and began to scold me, "Beatrice!! Don't take your brother!! Your brother holds hp also because of work. He just works everyday for our family!! Tell me you don't want to be told to mama!! I'm tired of yep, you always refute the words of parents. Your job is just school!! It's not as heavy as your brother looking for money!! You should be able to help at home! You should have something to be proud of before refuting the words of the old man!!" Snapped dad to me.
Audy's sister immediately held my father's hand to calm him down, "It's okay Dad.. Audy knows how Rici feels. Let Audy just go right with Alan's toy and you're Rici in the room. Sorry I interrupted your break" said my brother to calm the father who was emotional, but he was, but it was strange that I saw him smile thinly as if he was mocking me.
"You should be ashamed of your brother!! She's nice to you but you never appreciate her!!" snarl my father again.
"Have it!! Aren't you shy about yelling gini with the door open?!! Don't keep going!!" said grandma broke up this fight and Alan went home.
"Why is this? how is everything on diem?? Why is that dryness?" alan asked while looking at us one by one.
"Mama's son is home, baby.. Here hug mama dong first" he said while stretching his hands.
"Hehe yes mah..tadi Alan played the same game cement-men but hp Alan was ugly to lose the same other teams, tomorrow buy a new one huh mah??" pinta alan while putting on her cute face.
"Look, we'll buy another new one again.."
"Later ah brother.. Alan cape wants to sleep first, Brother Rici aja yes who finish hehe.. Thank you brother Rici" Alan replied as he ran towards his room.
"MALAN!!".
"Gci!! already already! Alan said that cape played not forced. Udah ah mama want to cook to eat later, you finish yes".
...The boy's name is Alan Devion. He is the last child in the family, this year he is 12. He was a very handsome and cute boy, he always used his cuteness to seduce someone to buy him something he wanted. Although he was a wasteful and lazy child, my family and the people around him did not care about it because they liked his cute face....
...For a child his age for Alan people look very handsome and I admit that even they start imagining the next 10 years out of curiosity about his handsome figure as an adult. They also began to introduce their young daughters to Alan and our family in the hope that it would be different in the future....
...While Dad.. Dad was always on my brother's side. He always felt proud of my brother's achievements, when my brother was the first in his class when he was in school he bought my brother a car. While my mother always sided with my sister because Alan was a child and because Alan was the boy that this family was expecting....
...And me? I don't even know who's on my side. But I had one person who always stood up for me when I was exiled by this family, my grandmother....
...****************...
"Grandma help ya.." said grandma while helping me pick up Alan's toys scattered.
I took it straight from my grandmother's hand, "Ga no need to granny.. Rici can, grandma just sit on the sofa so her waist does not hurt. It's just a little bit so it's finished" I replied with a smile.
Grandma looked at me with my eyes like she was going to cry and she immediately stroked my head gently. It was so different when my grandmother stroked my head, it felt like my heart was getting warm but when my sister stroked my head it felt like my heart was hot and upset. This is what makes me comfortable with my grandmother because being with her makes my heart feel warm and is what makes me strong to stay here.
"You must be tired, right? Grandma understood.sorry because this old grandmother can not help you much" he said.
"Grandmother can't do that.. Rici loves grandma!! Precisely because there is a grandmother, Rici became strong. Grandma must continue to be the same Rici yes so that Rici is strong here" I said while hugging grandma.
Hugging and stroking my head Grandma whispered to me, "My dear granddaughter.. Grandma also wants to stay here and accompany Rici to adulthood, until Rici can find a man who can give happiness to Rici.."
"Hiks hyks.. No!! I will continue with my grandmother until later.Wait for Rici to mature and let's have a warm little house to be occupied by both" I said while tightening my arms.
"Cup.cupp.. My little Rici, grandma can't determine when this old granny will live. Instead Rici should be able to find a man who can give happiness to Rici.. Grandma can only pray for a long life so that she can see her beloved granddaughter married to the man she loves".
...This is my grandmother, she is the person I love the most in this family. Grandma was always talking about my future marriage, thinking that the man who married me would feel very lucky to have me....
...I didn't think much of it because all I had in mind was being able to live happily in a warm little house with my grandmother. I'm sure I will soon realize that dream and that's why I worked so hard all this time....
