So the Prisoner of Galak Thugs
24. Eating Money

Suri tuh includes not a crybaby, loh. For Chrissakes. He could go through months without crying at all even if his life is difficult.

Not hard actually. Suri was tired of crying. Since Arul left, since spending his time crying for months, Suri was tired because in fact Arul did not come home because of crying.

Crying doesn't change fate, damn it!

Suri often yelled so to herself.

Most if upset, Suri sipped a cigarette.

But now Suri is tired. Guys are not clear this arbitrarily to him. Prohibiting Suri's work, forbidding Suri to be happy, forbidding Suri to talk much, even though he lives also because Suri is helping!

"Not crying."

He put a pile of money in front of Suri, which was many times the amount from yesterday.

"Make lo. So diem," he said, is like giving a dog a bone to stop barking.

Suri was crying even louder.

Who doesn't like money? Suri likes it too. Suri hates money but with money he doesn't have to suffer.

The question is, who likes to be locked up in their own place, with creepy guys who smash your HP using their hands, even though they are given money?

If he gets tired of crashing Suri's neck, he can take the money again!

"Gue said don't—"

"Dragon!" Suri was crying hysterically. "Ang home! Brother!"

Tanjung suddenly pulled her hand again, making Suri's cry even more hysterical.

But the kind of toys children suddenly run out of batrei, the cry disappears when his body is embraced.

Suri cengo's. Shocked not playing this creepy guy turns out to have a heart hugging a girl.

"Hiks." Juwita mewek, but this time without a sound.

"Diem's. Don't cry."

Not knowing why, Suri hugged Tanjung's back and cried back. But this time not because he was afraid, but because Tanjung just did what Arul once did.

"Diem," said Arul as Suri cried from a fever. "Not to cry. I'll buy you ice cream."

You badjangan!

Suri's anger suddenly moved to Arul who disappeared somewhere.

Tanjung stared at the ceiling of Suri's room while trying to think about the incident earlier.

Why did Tanjung hug him? No, why did Tanjung think of hugging her?

The entire life of the Cape, hugging someone was already like an absolute fragrance. Tanjung only ever hugged the waist of a girl who sat on it in a state of foregone.

Girls in Cape life are just around that. Cheap women, easy women, women whose function is only to be satisfied.

That is why Tanjung wonder. Where did the urge come from to embrace Suri?

The crying man was slapped. Aye, right? It is not clear why we cry because of what. Even money is still troublesome.

Wh why?

"Oi."

Tanjung turned to Suri who was suddenly next to the bed, tugging at her shirt.

Rough, Tanjung brushed him off. "What else?"

"Laper's."

".... Continues to? Do you want some more money?"

His eyes were still red and swollen but he was already glaring. "The fridge has nothing! I want to eat out but you're forbidden to go out! What do I keep eating? Eating money?"

The cape stared coldly. "Who told you to scream?"

Look, he's weak. Just being given that sentence immediately gasped in fear.

Why does he still have the courage to talk pretentiously in front of the Cape?

"Eat," Suri's great-grandson. "Yaudah lo temenin. Come on." Come on."

Tanjung glanced at the clock, only realized it was now nine at night.

Because the Cape was also hungry, he got up, walked in front of Suri.

"Well, don't wear a jacket?" ask him suddenly. Just before Tanjung opened the door.

But because according to Tanjung the question is not important, he did not answer. Just keep walking.
