Chapter Three
"You heard me?! Leave and I'll leave this fucking house!" Sassah blatantly said before she marched back to their room. She can't believe that her parents will say those things. She had a beautiful and memorable childhood. They may be not so perfect but they still have an amazing family but where is that now?!
They're just minimum earners of seven adults with a college student to support with and many debts to pay but her mother's relatives think otherwise, they like to ride on them as if they are something to milk with and her mother likes to live up to that expectation at their expense.
Rash left his work before the pandemic and lived in their house. At first, they accepted him intending to extend a little help but they didn't know how lazy he is but their parents sympathize with him as he said that he was fired because there was someone in his work who was jealous of him. He worked with my brother at a certain restaurant in the capital and my brother said otherwise that he is poor in following orders and he's so arrogant and acted like a manager because unlike them, he has education. Their parents are having a hard time discerning the truth and got confused as to whom to believe at the end, they believed their rash over kento.
"Heh! Who do you think you are?! How dare you say that?! How dare you decide?! You don't even have a right at all!" My mother yelled at her. "I thought of all my children, you are the kindest. I was so wrong." She bursted.
"Kind? I'm not! I don't want to be kind! I don't want to be used! After almost three decades you know nothing about me even though I told you everything about me! Yeah you can be a good and kind person to others but you are the worst for a mother!"
Sasah faced her again with tears kept on flowing from her damned eyes. Her voice is shaking. Her emotions betrayed her again. She can't perfectly portray that strong willed reliant individual because she's too emotional. She cries in front of emotional confrontation and any confrontation. She always cries in front of this woman.
"You have to make him leave or else, I'll make him suffer every day. I will literally tell him everyday how pathetic a person he is. I will show you how twisted he is and it will be too late for you to back your action. You should know now that we can't be in the same place! He can't be here! I won't trust him here with my sisters! Never!'
"Okay sassah, I will leave tomorrow! I will walk miles from miles to go to my brother's house.You talked as if we aren't relatives, am I not your cousin? It is sad that our relatives in the province will see you and aunt so terribly….." Rush said in between his soft cries.
"I don't care! I told you to stop saying things! Do it! I really hate your shit! We're not perfect and I won't pretend!" Her parting words before she left.
"All words, no action?! If he can do things now why not do it in the beginning? Why starting and causing ruckus here? Why here? Fuck this idiot! "
"I am sorry for that Rush… she's not like that before…" Mother mumbled
"I still can endure it aunt… I'll tell our relatives that it is my fault… I am not that likable maybe…" Rush said while wiping quietly his tears.
"Tsk so annoying… pretender." Elainna complaint
She's really not like that. She just doesn't like things that are happening here. We don't like you here." Kento added and went to his own room.
They are living in a 90 square meter bungalow house with three rooms. It is really too small for seven full grown adults.
"Are you packing things? Really you're leaving because of that bastard?!" Tiney stopped her. They are sharing a room with ellaina.
"Why not, I don't like to be here anyway. In fact, I hated being here." Sassah replied and continued packing her things.
"Really, you don't even have a job - remember?! Where are you going?! To maria?!" Tiney continued. She's stopped packing her things for a while as if thinking about her situation. Early this year she resigned from her previous job and went back home. She just came back a month before the quarantine.
"Yeah, you're right."
"Why did you resign…?" Tiney poked
"Just don't ask – okay?" she answered
"Why not? You always do things secretly."
"Hay… I'm so sleepy."
She heard a "hmp". She ignored it and went back to her bed. She occupied the top part while Tiney and Ellaina shared the lower part of the double deck bed. After an hour, Ellaina called them to eat snacks. Her homemade non-bake pizza is ready to eat.
"Hi there dear parents, these are yours." Ellaina cuts pizza equally. "And you, you don't have any."
"I don't like to eat that!" Mother's declared.
"Fine! Father, I'll take yours too… I know that you don't like it too unless...
