The Hidden Secret
second brother

I glanced slowly at him. His face was so close to me, really close to Dad. Father is still the same, he remains handsome with his unchanging temperament. Dad's forehead frowned between believing or not seeing my existence. Dad turned his face away, his gaze straight back he entered the house without saying a word to me. I looked at the bag in the tent, explained Dad just came home from his office. Of course I was confused by his reaction but I was at least not kicked out.

I sighed slowly venturing into this house.

“Owh, who is this?”

The unfriendly greeting was immediately thrown, none other than my second brother who was busy playing his phone on the guest sofa. His eyes were on me, he looked at me so closely. The corner of his lips lifted, obviously he was not happy with my return. I fell silent, turning my eyes the other way. Long time no see it feels awkward. Come on for what I care about. The owner of this house did not forbid me from entering. I climbed up the stairs past him, unwilling to deal with him.

"Main just come in!!" Brother got up from his seat, somewhat running after me.

I still ignored him, continuing to step up the stairs.

“Stop!!”

The screech was so loud that my eardrum hurt. I close my ears and keep going. No matter how hard he stops me, now I'm not a child anymore who is afraid of him.

“I said stop, your ears are not working well?!” my left arm was grabbed, clutched tightly. Forced to stop my steps, my right hand tried to loosen its grip that was getting stronger.

I looked at her fixedly "Can't you bother me!" ketus.

Brother raised both of his hands "I was just a little surprised, seeing his beloved sister coming home alone to this house. Ooh, what happens until you get back home?!" he said with a little emphasis.

I frown in annoyance, damn I really hate him. I had expected him to act like that, the noisiest brother with that scathing remark. I tried to be patient, continuing my steps. The more my brother turned into, his steps followed my movements. I turned to look at him annoyed.

“Do not disturb me!!” I said out loud, I was really tired and wanted to rest for a while. Enough with the problems I experienced, do not add with the second brother who continues to bother me.

Big brother looked surprised, he did not flinch, his eyes spread from top to bottom observing me. Both eyes narrowed.

Why, she thinks I'm the same sister who would cry hysterically when bullied, come on I'm not the cowardly little boy I used to be. A lot of things I've been through myself, things like this won't scare me anymore.

“You grew a little!!” he practices with his fingers.

My eyeballs twisted, trying to be patient and not provoked.

I leaned the body a little closer to him “Ya right. Not a problem for you!” I turned back to my room, occasionally glancing behind the silent brother staring straight at me, he stopped following me. I thought my words would make her angry and annoy me even more, apparently not.

I was surprised when I opened the door. Everything seemed whole nothing changed still the same from the last time I left it. The mattress is quite soft with a blue sea bed sheet, a small closet in the corner of the room and the study table position is still the same unchanged. I thought this room would be a barn after I left, apparently not really.

My shoulders were raised not thinking about it. I rush in, I put stuff away. The body sticking out into the mattress hugging the bolster, my face rubbing into the bedsheet mattress, this familiar fragrance I miss. A place that bears silent witness to my grief, a place that is the only backstop when I am lonely. I'm glad my room hasn't changed, I can't lie with the corners of my lips raised, my smile beautiful.

I got out of the bed and pulled out the gold curtains, staring out the window feeling better. Suicide intent instantly disappeared falling deep into the deepest corner of my heart, I should have been like this since enjoying life without caring about the responses and reactions of others. My window opened wide, breathing the air enthusiastically.

My eyes were on the big house next door. Even though Dad's house is fenced high walls. But my room on the top floor could see the person below me.

“Akh?-” I saw a stranger just get out of the car on the next home page. My face tilted slowly making sure that my mind was wrong. Our eyes met by accident, I hid quickly under the window, as invisible as possible.

I peeked back slowly and he was still standing straight with a gaze pointing towards my room, I hurriedly pulled the curtains shut the window in panic. Why is he in the house next door? As far as I used to know the house was uninhabited, could he be the owner now? The house that used to be unkempt is now beautiful, can be sure my guess is correct. That man foiled my suicide plans last night. I shook my head quickly there's no way he'd look for me for compensation, anyway I didn't die in his apartment.

Brak!!

The door was opened forcibly it felt as if he was impatient until it left a painful ear sound. I let out a long breath, I looked at Brother who entered my room without permission really makes me greget.

“On call Father” pointed it at me, after which he left me for no apparent reason and without closing the door to my room.

Teeth are hardened, my patience is really tested. But what worries me more about asking to meet? What will he say later?. I prepared with chaotic thoughts as I descended the children step by step. Sister is still standby on the guest sofa this time she is busy enjoying a snack. He glanced at me, a little grin sounding keke just that scared me. I can't wait for him to get hit by a disaster.

“A ugly expression!” Ketus ku while walking towards the room Dad.

Big Brother's laughter is getting louder, he choked on his food “Ekhm!” He set himself back to normal “You think Dad's room is still there, he's upstairs right next to your room”.

My eyebrows shot up, staring at brother in disbelief “Long, don't try to lie to me I'm not a child anymore!!”

Both of my hands were raised, his shoulders were also joined. As if saying hand over you believe it or not with his words. The brother continued to enjoy a snack while resting his body on the sofa comfortably.
