My Brother's Bed Rattles
Ayden Curious

"Oma! Ohmaa!"

There was the sound of a girl screaming from the front yard. The girl's shout managed to make Risa and Oma Hana aghast.

"Have you heard that, Risa? That's Rachel, my granddaughter. He was so. The child is very excited," said Oma Hana while smiling at Risa.

Just now Oma Hana finished saying that to Risa, Rachel was already in the room. Oma is relaxing in the television room accompanied by Risa and baby Lily.

"Yepoo!" cry Rachel.

Rachel ran up and down like a child towards Oma Hana with both hands stretched out. So did the middle-aged woman. He spread out his arms and prepared to welcome Rachel's embrace.

"Rachel-Ra?" risa muttered with round eyes after learning that Oma Hana's favorite granddaughter is Rachel. The woman he believed to be Ayden's lover.

"Oh yes, God! Why didn't I realize Rachel was Oma Hana's favorite granddaughter?" muttered Risa while stroking her nape. "It's because in the photo that's on display, only Rachel's photo is still small."

Risa felt very embarrassed. He lowered his head without daring to look at Rachel who was now hugging along with Oma Hana.

"Ouhh, Oma kangen with you, Chel." Oma Hana broke their embrace and Rachel immediately sat down beside the middle-aged woman with her head leaning against Oma's shoulder.

"Rachel too, Oma."

"Oh yes, Chel. Kenalin, Oma's new nurse. Her name is Risa." Oma Hana glanced at Risa. "Son Risa, know this Rachel, Oma's favorite granddaughter."

Inevitably, Risa also had to dare to raise her head and look at Rachel who was still struggling spoiled on Oma's shoulders. With hesitation, Risa extended her hand before Rachel then mentioned her name.

"R-Risa," he said tremblingly.

Rachel immediately welcomed Risa's outstretched hand and looked at the woman's face intently. Rachel's eyes suddenly rounded perfectly after finding out who was her Oma nurse.

"She?!" cry Rachel.

Risa could only smile wryly.

"Yes, Non. I'm Risa," said Risa.

"Loh, so you guys know each other, huh?" sela Oma Hana with an astonished face looked at Risa and Rachel in turn.

"Ehm, yes, Oma. We've met before. Is that right, Risa?"

Again Risa just nodded with a smiling face looking at Oma Hana.

"So right, Rachel and Ayden are getting married soon. But their marriage was delayed because his mother Ayden fell ill. What pain, huh?" risa's murmuring in the heart.

Rachel looked at Risa so fixedly. Many questions were running around his head, which he wanted to ask Risa. However, because there was still Oma Hana in the room, Rachel was forced to endure her enormous curiosity.

"Ehm, let me make you drink yes, Oma." Risa intends to rise from her sitting position, but is held back by Oma. The middle-aged woman held onto Risa's hand then asked her to return to her original seat.

"No need, Ris. Let Auntie do it. It's not your job anyway" said Oma Hana.

Risa was forced to stay in the room. But he already felt uncomfortable. Aside from Rachel continuing to look at him with a strange look, she also felt ashamed of the woman.

Long enough Risa survives in the room and listens to the babble of Oma and her beloved granddaughter. Until finally he found a way to get out of the room, which Oma could not resist.

"Ehm, I'm sorry, Oma, Non Rachel. I want to go to the room, I'm afraid Lily's awake." Risa got up from her seat while nodding softly to Oma and Rachel.

"Ris, if Lily has woken up, let her come here" Oma said.

"Yes, Ris. Just make sure Lily comes here," Rachel said with a big smile looking at Risa.

"Good, Non, Oma."

Risa returns to her room with a sigh of relief because she can finally leave the room and leave Rachel and Oma there.

"Oma, Oma! How can Risa work here?" asked Rachel who couldn't help but feel very curious.

Oma Hana furrowed her brows in wonder. "What do you mean, Rachel? Yes, of course it can be because Risa who came alone here and asked Oma for the job," replied Oma Hana.

"Rachel means this, Oma. Risa doesn't live in this city. She was from the city of X and there she lived with her husband, Mas Arga!" obviously Rachel.

Oma Hana let out a long breath. "Yes, it's true. Oma knows that. Why, anyway? She was divorced because the irresponsible man remarried another woman. That's why he came to this city and ended up working with Oma" said Oma Hana.

Rachel closed her eyes. "Huh? Divorced? Seriously, Oma?"

"Loh, he said you guys already know each other. Then why do you still not know about it?" oma Hana asked Rachel who was still looking at her with enlarged eyes.

"I-iya, anyway, Oma. We do know each other. But yes, you know that," said Rachel with a wry smile.

"Ah yes, already. You better take a shower, huh! Smell," Oma Hana told Rachel.

Rachel bent her face perfectly then got up from her sitting position. "Ih, Oma. All right, I'm taking a shower now."

"Why don't you take Ayden, Chel? Let's race," Oma told Rachel, who had taken a few steps from her.

"Ah yes, Bang Ay! I almost forgot. I must tell this important news to Bang Ay! Gotta," murmured Rachel.

"Chel, how come Oma's question isn't answered, anyway?"

"Bang Ay is busy, Oma. There was work to be done, he said," Rachel replied as she entered her room.

In the room.

"Where's my phone, where?!" screeched Rachel while looking for the presence of her favorite flat object in her pants pocket.

"Ah, here we go!" After finding the phone, Rachel immediately dialed Ayden's phone number.

Rachel waited long enough for the man to answer her call.

"Yes, Chel."

"Bang Ay! Hhh, Bang Ay's loss didn't come with me today" seduced Rachel.

Ayden chuckled softly. "Why indeed? Is the widow so beautiful? Until I have to regret my decision to reject your invitation?"

"Beg! It's more than just beautiful, Bang Ay! This widow is very special and I'm sure Bang Ay will be too late to meet her."

Again Ayden chuckled. "Oh my goodness, Chel. So you called me just to babble?" The man felt funny, for the sake of receiving the call of his cousin's sister, he was even willing to delay the bathing ritual. But he already felt very angry.

"Actually no, Bang Ay. I hope that tomorrow Bang Ay can catch up with me here because there is something very important, which Bang Ay should know," said Rachel and this time she spoke so seriously.

"Why don't you tell me now, Chel?"

"I don't want to. I want to make Bang Ay curious and unable to sleep well tonight," seduced Rachel as she chuckled.

"No way," retorted Ayden who chuckled.

"Surely, since it's about Risa!"

Ayden's face suddenly became serious. "Risa? What's wrong with Risa?"

"Think about it yourself, bye!" Rachel closed the call.

"Chel! Rachel!" call Ayden who is so curious.
