My Brother's Bed Rattles
Mona Risau

Mona was back in her room. He stared at the vitamins given by the doctor with tears in his eyes.

"How's this? What if Risa knows? What if both my parents know?" Mona looked scared. His hands shook and put the vitamins back on the nightstand.

Chequek! Suddenly the door to his room opened.

Risa is walking towards him holding a tray of warm soup and a glass of tea for Mona. Seeing Risa's arrival, Mona rushes to take the vitamins she previously put on the nightstand, then keeps them under the pillow. He was afraid that Risa knew that the medicine given by the Doctor yesterday was just a vitamin for her pregnancy.

"How are you doing, Mona? Is it a little bit too late?" ask Risa.

"Ehm, yes, Ma'am. I just took the medicine" Mona replied as she wiped her tears.

"Good."

Risa sat next to Mona and looked into her sister's eyes. "Loh, Mon. Are you crying again?"

Mona smiled bitterly. "Suddenly I thought again about my pain, Ma'am. You know yourself how I am. Stomach ache a little, I'm half dead. To the extent that one house is excited because of me," said Mona.

Risa chuckles softly. Yeah, she remembers when Mona was a kid. Just because of stomach pain, his entire extended family became excited.

"You're father and mother's favorite daughter, so it's only natural that they behave like that. Had they been here and seen your condition like this, they would have been worried."

Risa handed over a bowl of warm soup that she brought to Mona. "Eat this soup. Said Bi Surti since last afternoon you have not eaten. This soup is for you, try it!"

Mona stared at the bowl of soup she was holding with teary eyes. Suddenly he remembered the great mistake he had made to Risa.

"Here, don't cry anymore." Risa stroked Mona's soft face.

"Thank you, Ma'am. I'm sure the soup must be good."

Risa smile. "of course. The soup is made by Ma'am. Yes, yes, Back then. Fear Lily cried when she was left alone."

Mona nodded.

Risa got up from her sitting position then walked out of the room.

After Risa's death, Mona rushed to reach for the phone she placed next to the pillow. He pressed the phone screen and tried to call Arga's number. It didn't take long, Mona's call was directly connected to her sister-in-law's number.

"Yes, Honey. What was? You miss me, huh? Or miss me," teased Arga from across the phone.

Mona rubbed her face violently. "Ehm, Mas Arga. I want us to talk tonight. This is very important" Mona replied in a serious tone.

"Speak about what, honey? Oh yes, this is Mas just bought a new safety with a spiked shape. Just like you asked last night," said Arga with a crisp face.

Mona was silent for a moment. Right now he is really scared. Let alone thinking about his hot romance with Arga, even we breathe it feels very difficult.

While Arga was speechless with an astonished face staring at the screen of his phone. "Mona why? Tumben he doesn't want to mince words with me. Is there not Risa? Ah, maybe," muttered Arga while keeping her phone back in her shirt pocket.

By night.

Arga stood in front of the mirror while tidying up her hair. His face looks crisp. Several times Arga smiled her sweet smile while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

Risa who had just finished changing her clothes, immediately approached Arga then hugged him from behind. He peeked out from behind Arga's burly back and stared at their shadows.

"Hmmm, it smells so good. I like the smell of Mas," seduced Risa while stroking the chest of the Arga field.

Arga smile. It was not that he was happy because Risa was embracing him. However, because he remembered that Mona also liked the masculine aroma of the perfume he used.

Arga broke Risa's embrace and then resumed her activities. "Of course, Risa. That appearance should remain number one."

"Then what about me? Do I look pretty?"

Risa showed her appearance that night to Arga. Who usually only wears a shabby negligee, now Risa looks beautiful with her sexy lingerie that has long been stored in the closet.

His thick black hair that used to be tied just like that, now he let it run down. His face that always looks innocent, now he polishes with a little powder and make up.

Arga glanced at Risa and was silent for a moment. Looks beautiful, but because the eyes of his heart are already closed by the napsu, so he can not see the natural beauty of a Risa.

"Where are you going with that look?" asked Arga while smiling sideways to Risa.

"Well, is there something wrong with how I look, Mom?"

"Just be surprised. You see, I'm used to seeing you with disheveled looks" replied Arga, turning her face toward the mirror. The man also laughed cynically, as if Risa's appearance on that night meant nothing to him at all.

"I look ugly, don't you think?" Risa breathed a heavy breath. "I tried so hard to look attractive in your eyes because I thought we were going to do it tonight."

Arga turned his head back and gently rattled the top of Risa's head. "I want to go to a friend's place for a minute. Just a moment, at most until 11 p.m."

"What's? But, Mas. Why should it be tonight? Can't it be postponed first? Besides, what's the need to go home that late?" protest with an annoyed face.

"There's a work matter that I have to talk about with him and this can't be delayed anymore. You better go to sleep first. Don't wait for me 'cause I got my own keys."

After saying that, Arga immediately came out of the room leaving Risa with a very upset. He felt that his efforts tonight were in vain. Already tried to preen as beautifully as possible, but Arga did not also want to glance at it.

"Arga's madness!"
