My Brother's Bed Rattles

My Brother's Bed Rattles
Rejection of Arga


It's been a month since Mona lived with Arga and Risa. During that time he also became a woman who satisfied Arga without the knowledge of Risa.


Although Mona once felt disappointed after knowing that she was only used by Arga. However, the sense of pleasure given by the man made Mona's desire satisfied and he also followed the game of Arga only. Conducting the relationship on the basis of mutual benefit and mutual satisfaction.


Risa sits on the sofa in the front room with little Lily. While chatting with her little baby, Mona suddenly came with a lot of groceries. His hands were full of all sorts of things he had just bought.


"Where have you been, Mona? And what is it?" risa asked with furrowed brows looking at her sister.


Mona, who was unaware of Risa's presence in the room, immediately turned her head and walked over to Risa.


"Eh, Sister Risa. I'm sorry, I didn't know she was here."


Mona put her groceries on the table in front of Risa. Because of Mona's large number of groceries, the table is barely enough to accommodate these objects. The exhausted Mona immediately dropped herself beside Risa.


"Geez, it's so hot today!" muttered Mona while shaking her hand. He felt very angry at that moment.


"Where are you from, Mona? Since this morning ask permission to go out with Mbak and just come back now," asked Risa full of investigation.


"I've just been treated to my guy, Ma'am. It just so happened that she just got paid and bought me all these groceries" Mona replied with a crisp face.


Risa was silent for a moment. Suddenly she remembered her husband who was also paid today.


"Who is that man, Mona? Does Mama know him?"


Mona shook her head quickly. "No. Mama never knew him. She was one of my upperclassmen when I was in school."


"Did he have a wife?" ask Risa again. This time Risa's face looks so serious looking at Mona.


"Ehmmm," Mona muttered with a puzzled facial expression.


"Don't tell me the guy already has a wife, Mona. If that's true, you better forget about him. Poor his wife's son. Remember, Mona, karma happens. If today you become the third person in someone else's life, one day someone will definitely attend and become the third person in your household life," said Risa, trying to remind Mona.


Mona stared fixedly at Risa's two eyeballs that looked shady and soothing. The words that slid from her brother's lips actually managed to pierce his little heart.


"You heard Ma'am, didn't you, Mona?"


"Yes, Mommy. I heard," said Mona.


Mona lowered her head to the floor. While Risa was still watching her sister's face carefully.


"You're not sick, are you, Mona?" asked Risa with a surprised face.


Mona raised her head while shaking slowly. "No, Ma'am. Why why?"


"Your face looks pale, Mona. You better check with the doctor. Fear your blood pressure is low again," continued Risa. Mona has been ill in the same case.


"Certainly right?" Risa.


"Yes, you're right. I also felt my face look pale these few days. I just thought it was just my feeling. So, I don't really care about it" Mona explained, still staring at her reflection on the phone screen.


"You should immediately check into the clinic in front of the alley. If you do not have money, Ma'am can ask Mas Arga," said Risa again.


"Hmmm, no need, ma'am. I have money, really. Tomorrow I check there myself."


"Do you need a sister? Just take Lily for a walk," asked Risa.


Mona seemed to think for a moment. After a few seconds, he smiled. "All right, I agree. But, I'm not bothering Ms. Risa, am I?"


Risa shook her head slowly. "No. Then you'd like to take Lily for a walk."


"All right."

By night.


Risa approached Arga who was sitting together on the bed while leaning. As usual, he was busy with his favorite flat object. Risa approached Arga then sat down beside him.


"Mas, tonight I am clean and I can serve Mas to the satisfaction," whispered Risa while hugging Arga's stocky arms.


Arga stopped his action for a while. He turned towards Risa with a cold facial expression. "But it seems like I can't do it, Risa. I am tired because today my work is so piled up," replied Arga while massaging his shoulders.


Risa looked sad and disappointed. When she was ready to serve the desire of her husband, her husband refused on the grounds of tired. Though all this time Arga has never been absent asking for rations to him.


"Mas wasn't lying to me, was he?" asked Risa with teary eyes.


"liying?" Arga started to raise his tone. "Why should I lie to you, Risa?"


"Mas never once refused if I asked. But this time I refused my invitation. We haven't done it in a long time. It's only natural for me to question that to you?" clearly Risa with her lips quivering.


Arga rolled his eyeballs. It was clear on his face that at that time he was not interested in discussing the matter.


"Already, Risa. Don't fabricate! I'm just tired, that's all! We can do it tomorrow night without having to argue like this, right?" Arga immediately dropped herself on the bed and lay on her back to Risa.


Risa exhaled heavily and finally chose to lie down with her back to Arga.
