My Brother's Bed Rattles
Mona's Confession

"Sleep, Son. Sleep well because tomorrow we will begin our long journey" whispered Risa beside Lily's sleeping ears lulled in her beautiful dreams.

Slowly Risa spread her thin body onto the already shabby mattress. Risa closed her eyes and tried to forget all the problems she was facing for a moment. However, just a few seconds he closed his eyes, suddenly a knocking sound came from outside the door of his room.

"Who?"

"Mbak Risa's. It's me, Mona."

Risa put on a sour face. He was tired of having to deal with that girl. Risa again closed her two neutrals and tried to ignore the call from Mona.

"Mom! Ma'am, please open the door. I want to talk to you for a second, please!"

Risa is still trying to be indifferent and pretending not to hear the call from Mona. However, the more he tried to ignore her, the more intense the call from the girl was.

"Gee! What the hell does a kid want!" furious Risa while rising from her position then walked towards the door of the room.

Chequek! Risa's room door opened and Mona was smiling sweetly at her.

"What else, huh? It's night, Mona, and Lily's asleep. Did you deliberately make a fuss here for Lily to wake up. Huh yeah?" annoyed Risa while throwing her face.

"I want to talk to you, that's all! I promise it won't be long" said Mona with a face of compassion.

Risa grunts annoyed. "I don't think there's anything to talk about anymore. Everything is clear" said Risa while pushing the door of her room to close.

However, Mona held back the door with all her might and forced Risa to give her a little time to talk about their matter in one eye.

"I beg you, Ma'am. Just one second!"

Risa relented and let go of the door. He took a few steps back and let Mona into his room.

"5 minutes!" firmly Risa.

"Good, Mommy! Thank you" replied Mona.

Mona shuts back the door of Risa's room then sits on a wooden chair located in front of the dressing table. While Risa sat on the edge of the bed, precisely next to baby Lily.

"What else do you want to talk to me about, Mona? About your success destroying my household, huh?" Risa smiled cynically.

"It's not so, Ma'am. Actually I just wanted to apologize to you. I'm sorry," said Mona. He wanted to grab Risa's hand, but was pushed aside by her foster sister.

"Don't touch me, Mona! I won't be touched by you!" resolutely Risa with an annoyed face looked at Mona.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I'm khilaf!" Mona was bowed with her head facing the floor.

"Khilaf said? Now I'm asking you, how many times have you had that relationship with Mas Arga, Mona? How many times?" Finally the crystal circle again escaped the corner of his eye. Although it was as strong as Risa's energy to keep it from flowing again.

Mona raised her head and looked at Risa's face. The girl's lips were too faint to tell the truth. He did not know how many times he had the relationship with Arga.

Risa returned laughing sarcastically. "Look, even you don't remember how many times you had that forbidden relationship. That means no khilaf, Mona. No!" furious Risa.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I did it because I love Mas Arga. I've loved her for a long time, but you took her from me! So, is it wrong if I take back what should be mine?" sahut Mona who now began to dare to return Risa's gaze.

"What?" peekik Risa with eyebrows that are linked.

Mona got up from her sitting position and stood before Risa. "Yes, Mommy! Ever since I sat in High School, I've had my heart set on Mas Arga and I don't know why Mas Arga chose you back then! Do you know how I felt at that moment? Just like you feel right now, my heart hurts and I'm broken, Mom!" mona said with a red face.

"Oh my goodness, Mona! That was a long time ago! You should think and look for another man who is much better than Mas Arga. Men are not the only one in this world, Mona. Moreover, you are beautiful and still very young. There are still many other men waiting in line for your love" replied Risa.

"But my love is only for Mas Arga and will be like that for eternity" Mona replied steadily.

Risa nodded slowly with a disappointed face. "Good! Well done, Mona. Now you must feel proud, right because you have managed to get your beloved man. Even if you have to sacrifice the happiness of your own brother and nephew for your happiness."

Mona was silent with her gaze still fixed on Risa.

"Pray that your marriage to Mas Arga is fine. Pray that my story will not repeat itself and turn to you. I'm reminding this because I believe that karma applies, Mona," Risa continued with a cynical smile.

Mona looked furious. He snorted angrily then walked quickly towards the door of Risa's room. However, before Mona touched the doorknob of the room, she turned back and faced her foster sister.

"I'm sure Mas Arga wouldn't do that to me. You know why? Because I know how to satisfy her," Mona replied with a bent face.

"Yes, we will prove it later," Risa replied not to lose.

Mona stomped her feet on the floor and opened the room. "Mbak deserves to be divorced by Mas Arga because Mbak is so annoying!" furious Mona.

The girl came out of the room and closed the door a little harder. Baby Lily was even surprised by it.

"Husss, it's okay, honey. Sleep again" said Risa while whispering softly beside baby Lily's ear.
