My Family's Gift
The Past of Merry

After a long chat with Afif, we decided to leave because it would be bad to leave Merry in the car if it was too long.

Then we parted, afif would return to his teacher's house because he still had business, while me and merry went to my house. During Merry's trip was silent, he didn't say a word.

Long story short after 45 minutes of travel, we arrived at my house, I drove Merry to Kristin's room for a while, because I'm sure Kristin won't be home for the near future.

Then I knocked on my door to get to know Merry, and I just looked at her for a bit while nodding my head and reading back, after which I drove Merry around the house, not to forget I also introduced Merry to the maids and drivers at home.

"your family is a lot of am". said Merry.

"heh?. Which family?". I asked.

"that was downstairs.". he asked back.

"ohh. They're maids at home.

"heh?. really?.. until 8 people that?". said merry.

"that already includes the same driver gardener kok. later you do not forget to know yourself to Pak yayan yes, security in front.

"uh uh? is there more?". he asked confused.

"i.iya.in addition to Mr. Yayan, there are 2 more security, it is change shift work.

"my room just now felt bigger than my father's living room.

"hahaha.. later also used to, yes the core is you if laper or need anything, you use a phone on the 2nd floor, next to our room." I said.

"HEH ? WE WERE? KK..K..WE HAVE ONE ROOM LEFT?". said a surprised merry.

"ahh no no. I mean the phone is right in the middle between my room and you...about her my mother does not like me or my sister used to scream calling a maid, at the end she put a phone to call the kitchen or to the maid's room.

"oohhh sorry-sorry.

Then after that I told Merry to rest, and promised to take her somewhere on Sunday, so she could refresh her mind.

.

.

In the evening I introduced Bima to Merry, clearly a confused face bima, I explained the situation to him and what abilities Merry had, fortunately, Bima understood without questioning my decision further.

Then I was in the hardest part, that is, telling someone that I had brought a woman who was more or less the same age as me to live together at home... who else if not Ai, I can already guess how angry he is... With mixed feelings, I took HP and immediately called Ai..

"H..Hello". said I.

"hello beb. tumben nelfon jam this.

"hmmm that's. anu.." said I.

"why? what do you want to say?". ask her back.

"i brought a girl. uh that's not it, I mean.I have a girl.. I just raised a woman to be a pengi-.nya mean to be my brother and from today he will stay at home.

"ohhhh kira- HAHHHH!!...." Her screams were so loud on the phone

I also reflect directly away the phone from the ear, because the scream so loud make my ears hurt.

"whose trusss girl? how old is he? her name? where do you know her from? why is he doing it now? how can?" ask him a thousand questions.

I explained to him without bringing up the scientific problems that merry had, I reasoned that he was an orphan and had been thrown out by his parents, and because of his kasian taste, he was a child, so I brought her home.

"bebb... he is 21 years old..had been able to live alone, why you take care of PEREMPUANN age so much.

"hmm you if you meet the person directly, also surely understand kok. yaudah if not gini aja, Sunday we go where it is, later I bring him to know me to you". obviously me.

"hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. yaudah the day after we go to Dufan aja, later I take kristin as well.

"oh ok. later I take me 1 more" said I.

Then after explaining at length all the situations that I was going through, he finally seemed to try to understand. I went straight to Merry's room to tell her about the holiday tomorrow, and when I got to her room I saw her covering her whole body with a blanket, but like he was not sleeping, because I saw the bottom of his feet as if he was trembling.

I immediately felt guilty, maybe under the blanket he was crying or holding back his annoyance to the point that his legs were trembling. Then I tried to get close to her and sat down next to her.

"Merr.." I said.

"HAAAAAAAA...PE..GOEIII".

Her screams were so loud, I immediately opened the blanket and clenched her mouth, because I was afraid that I would disturb the mother or father who had fallen asleep.

"heh...why are you?". asked me who still smothered his mouth.

"mmm...mmmmmmm...mmmm.mmmm.

"obviously... don't diem aj-.. oia sorry to forget to hands off.

"i think you're a demon that's behind the window ... a lot.

"ohhhh... bentar ya.

To make the merry comfortable I also drove them away, and put one of the slingshot papers for the supernatural fortress in the room, so that the genie did not dare to approach, what else to enter.

I told Merry not to be afraid anymore, because I had kicked them out and guaranteed they would not appear again in this room. But when I wanted to leave, merry clasped my left hand so tightly without saying a single word, but I understood his intent, he did not want to be left behind.

"liam.you never did, feel that God gave you an advantage just to curse you.." said with a red face.

"god, I doubt even the existence of God himself, because if he exists, he hates me so much, to the extent that even one of my requests was never granted.

"God is true....Because I once dreamed of meeting one of his messengers in my dream.

"his mission..who do you mean?". I asked.

"Muhammad SAW... he didn't say anything and was just looking up.

"prophet? you sure of that? it could be the devil or the genie who is deceiving you." I explained.

"no liam. no way... He did not say who he was, but when I saw him, my feelings were immediately very sure that what I saw at that time was him, Demons or jinn can indeed resemble anything or anyone in this world, except...Prophet Muhammad SAW and Allah SWT.

"then if that's true, why did your question seem to be blaming God.

"Color.I feel the trials that I have been through so hard.I always move places, even I can not finish my high school... when I was a little girl my mother said that I was the unlucky kid, because a few days after I was born.. My father's company went bankrupt, plus I screamed every night because I saw a genie who was always trying to get close to me... To the point where their patience ran out and left me to my grandmother, and since then, I have never seen them again.

I also just kept quiet while slowly stroking his head.

"My grandmother was so kind to me, maybe back then.she was the first person who sincerely loved me, but instead I acted like a rebellious child, because I couldn't accept the fact that my parents had abandoned me... A. I even repeatedly call it the beast.. Na...but he always just returned with a smile, while stroking my head.." said his increasingly unable to hold back his tears.

"Until one day when I tried to build her on the bed, she didn't respond at all..I kept calling her name over and over again but she didn't wake up and when I was 16, I have to accept the fact that the only person who loves me leaves me... After the death of my grandmother, I was taken care of for a while by my mother's sister, but she seemed to dislike me and even hated me, then I decided to run away from home.. and lived less than 2 months, until one day I met him... Gaffar, he realized my potential and also my talent in just one look... Even his wife was so good with me, as if the time I spent with them, could forget all my sadness in the past.

I try to be a good listener and keep looking into her eyes, which turn towards me.

"until my adoptive mother had an accident and a coma. After that incident, I felt a change in the nature of her. she began to believe that my presence was only bringing misfortune to her... And her nature began to change to me, she no longer even wanted to eat my cooking, no longer wanted to imami me when praying, even she no longer wanted to mention my name...." his words were stopped because of his sobbing.

"Liam... Do you believe my curse? that I'm just an unlucky bearer to the people around me.

"My life is like this. I no longer even know the definition of the word Shit like what, maybe other people think I am very lucky to be born in a family that is so rich... but since long ago, not a second did I feel lucky because of that.

"what...are you also going to leave me one day?". he said with a firmer grip.

"i do not know... but I can only say that I.. will not leave or betray those who love me...then the question is.......Do you love me?" ask me with a big smile.

"A...What the hell, n... Ka.kamu u..have got a fiancee".he said so groggy.

"hahaha I mean, love me as a friend or friend.dumb.

"yeee don't do that. gini-gini old'an I know.

"age old doang, mental son of Kindergarten.

Then we just laughed after her, and just chatted indistinctly and mocked each other.. until he no longer answered my words and fell asleep with his hands still holding mine so tight, I decided to lean my body against the wall and try to sleep in a sitting position, because I don't have the heart to leave him at this time, because after all, he's my responsibility now, maybe he's older than me, but I thought she was like my own sister.

.

.

To the day I woke up and was still sitting on the bed merry, seen merry still asleep while holding my hand, I slowly let go of her grip and left the room... today is Saturday, so my school is off and like her I will spend my time playing games all day.

Before returning to the room, I decided to go to the kitchen to ask for a warm tea and breakfast to mbok Sirih, then when I wanted to go back to the 2nd floor, he said, suddenly the father who was on the back porch called me without looking at me. I also approached her..

"why pah?". asked me with a sleepy face.

"about the photo of the man who had come to love yesterday, finish tonight.

Then I thought back to the photo he gave me a few days ago, a middle-aged man I didn't know who he was... Without a second thought I nodded my head in understanding, and walked back to the 2nd floor.

"Liam's... What kind of ability does that woman have?" ask the father who stopped my steps at once.

"he can see and can detect human energy or supernatural, he will be very useful to find a mustika or heirloom that is embedded deep in the ground or hidden somewhere". answer me who is trying to hide the real facts.

"if later he is not even useful.just waste it.

"good reward".I answered withholding emotions.
