Chereads / A Clown (English Version) / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

The sun rising from the east illuminates life on earth, giving warmth to every living thing.

So gracious God gave it for free, benefiting all on earth, plants need the sun to continue to live, as well as humans.

Sunlight seeped into Teo's room through the window. Teo woke up to see the clock was already showing 07.37 for some reason it felt so hard to get out of bed as if the mattress was saying.

"Don't leave me, honey, please."

If outer space has no gravitational force, on the contrary, on the weekends, the gravity is very high. Like a magnet that keeps pulling down so that the body remains attached.

Fifteen minutes passed, Teo was still lying on the bed, the reluctance to leave the bed was as difficult as farewell to a lover.

Teo just kept lying down with his cellphone in his hand and his fingers busy scrolling through social media. He saw that Lee's post, which was out of town, seemed to be on duty.

"What a joke you monkey!" Theo's comment.

"Bastard bastard!" Reply to Lee in the comments column.

Haha the level of friendship can be measured by words, the longer the friendship, the more pearls of wisdom that come out, of course that's my opinion.

Teo put his cellphone on the bedside table, then got out of bed to go to the toilet to wash his face and brush his teeth. After that, as usual, Teo started his workout to keep his body fit.

Today, Teo will train his abdominal muscles by doing several variations of sit ups that he learned from his instructor when he used to often go to the gym.

Drrtttr drrrttt the sound of the cellphone vibrating there is an incoming call. "Hello?" Theo said.

"Hello, Teo, don't you forget to go to mom's house today?" Mom asked.

"Yes ma Teo did not forget," Theo replied.

"What time do you want to come here? Look at your nephew El already asking,"

"Yeah, I'll be there in a bit."

"Well hurry over here,"

"Yeah mom."

Tuttttttt hang up phone.

Teo rushed to the toilet to clean his body, 30 minutes later Teo was already driving his BMW 8 Series Coupe.

On the way, Teo stopped by the shop to buy his nephew a toy, last month was El's birthday and he forgot to buy him a present.

"Is there anything I can help?" Ask the store clerk.

"Oh I'm looking for toys," replied Teo.

"For your child?"

"Not for my nephew, he likes FPS games so I'm thinking of buying a toy, any recommendations?"

"Of course there are sir, we have some recommendations such as the StaTrack AK-47 Case Hardened which is adapted from the Csgo game," said the shopkeeper while showing.

"Is this safe for children?" Ask Theo.

"Of course sir," the shopkeeper replied.

"Any other recommendations?"

"We have an exclusive AWP Dragon Lore Souvenir weapon which is also adapted from the Csgo game," while showing AWP weapons in a glass case.

"Okay, I'll just choose this one, please wrap it for a birthday present," obviously Theo.

"Okay sir, please wait 15 minutes because this is an exclusive item so it will take quite a while to pack it up,"

It's okay to buy your own nephew something like that, after all, it's just a toy. Danu will talk about spoiling El too much. After buying a gift for his nephew, Teo continued his journey, in the car Teo thought.

"This time, who else is it paired with?"

Arriving at Teo's yard, he was greeted by El.

"Oh Teo!" El shouted running up to him.

"Hello El, look what uncle brought," greeted Teo while carrying a large package containing toy guns.

"Yeaayyy new toy!" El is excited.

"What's all this fuss about?" Asked the mother who suddenly came.

"Oma oma see El has a new toy!"

"Oh yeah? What did you say to Uncle Teo?" Mama asked watching little El who was excited.

"Thank you, Theo." El said while hugging him

"It's the same, here, let uncle bring it to the house," Teo replied.

El ran into the house gleeful, "How are you?" Teo asked hugging his mother.

"Okay son, how are you?"

"Well good enough," Teo answered briefly as he walked with his mother into the house.

"Teo! You've been spoiling El before," spray Bang Danu.

"Well, bro, what's wrong with your own nephew," answered stupidly.

"Yeah, don't be so rich-"

"It's been a while when you guys met, you just made a fuss, Danu just accompanied El to play there so Teo would rest first." Mama said, cutting Bang Danu's words.

Well, I got sprayed, fortunately there was Mama haha.

"Teo, thanks for buying El a toy, that's a hassle." Alya said his wife Bang Danu.

"It's the same with sis, it's okay to my own nephew, last month I forgot to buy El a gift," answered.

Her full name is Alya Abelisya, a doctor and a housewife, "Too bad you're too soft on Teo should be mad at him," Danu said from a distance.

"Huss, mas it can't be like that, it's my sister-in-law," answer Ms. Alya defending.

Immediately Bang Danu was silent, haha, the husband was afraid of his wife, I said to myself, "Why are you coming to the house? It's a mess ..." Said Kyla who came down from the 2nd floor.

"Isn't it okay? It's your mother who told me to go back home," answered.

"Lala can't do that with your brother,"

It's true that this one small child is cute and big, God forbid.

"Since when did you come back to La's house?" Because as I remember he was still abroad taking care of his studies because he wanted to continue his master's degree.

"It's been a week, bro," he answered nonchalantly while grabbing the bread.

"So where are you going to college?" I asked.

"Still confused, bro, the supervisor still recommends going to the university where he took master's degree in the past,"

"Well, don't go there," said Mama, interrupting.

"Ish, why do those people go back home and don't want to think about going to college first, instead they are asked questions," he said annoyed.

"Lalaa ... Lala ... See El got a new toy from Uncle Teo." El said while pointing at the toy on the next table.

"Oh bro, why don't you buy it for me too?" He said protest.

"You're so big why I bought you a present,"

"Is it okay to buy me once in a while, so it's so stingy to be a brother,"

Gosh, did he think I'd been giving him coffee grounds all this time? Yesterday, yesterday, the gift, the pocket money who gave Bang Danu's dog, won't give more than the agreement.

"Yes, yes, I'll buy it later."

"Yeaayyyy thanks my handsome brother," said Lala.

Indeed, if there is a new desire to act sweet. The atmosphere in the house is so warm, even though I often speak out loud, but I can feel the warmth of each person, for example, Danu, although he seems cold and indifferent, but he has his own warm side to the people around him.

In contrast to Ms. Alya, who is warm and friendly, what a perfect couple. If papa could gather with us of course everything would feel very complete, unfortunately papa died 2 years ago due to an accident that he experienced.

"So what's the matter mom called Teo to the house?" asked.

"It's okay, I just want to hang out with my children and grandchildren, the house feels lonely especially now that Lala wants to continue her master's degree abroad, Bang Danu has a lot of business in your office, you're also busy," Mom said.

Well I understand why mama is like this, since papa mama lived there became more emotional maybe this is also because mama's age is getting old, should I just move back to the house? I thought.

"Mama Lala hasn't decided where to go to college yet," said Lala.

"Sorry Maa Danu can't visit Mama often," add Danu.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Alya also hasn't been able to visit often," continued Ms. Alya.

"Yes, I understand that you have other things to do," said Mama.

Even though mom said that, there must be an emptiness in her heart, "Oh yes, my high school friend will come to visit tonight, he said," said Mom suddenly.
