Part 17.
Derrtt... derrtt...
My phone call went to Sis Mila's cell phone. A few seconds later, there was a voice on the other end of the phone.
["Hello, Sis Mila, where are you?"] I asked.
["Hello, Vira, Brother is on the way!"]
["Earlier at the campus intersection, there was a motorcycle accident! So the road got heavily congested!"] she explained.
["What are you riding home for, bro?"] I asked worriedly.
["Brother was escorted by a college friend!"]
she answered.
["Well, be careful on the way Sis! Everyone at home is anxiously waiting for you!"]
["lya-yes,"] said Sis Mila while ending the conversation on the phone.
I immediately came out of the room and then told the news of Sis Mila. Uncle and Aunt breathed a sigh of relief, because they already knew about Sis Mila's condition.
Because of what happened tonight, Sis Maya forgot to complain to Auntie, that last afternoon I came home late. She is more focused on waiting for Sis Mila to come home from campus.
Tin... tin...
The sound of car horns startled the whole house. Because was worried that she was shocked like this. Aunt rushed out followed by Uncle Iwan. While Sis Maya just peeked from behind the living room window.
Sis Mila was brought by a car by a man. They got out of the car and the man introduced himself as Sis Mila's friend. Uncle and Auntie say Thank you. His friend went home immediately.
As soon as she entered the house, Auntie was immediately angry with Sis Maya and Sis Mila. They had a trial in the living room, because they had worried their parents, because they had never been like this before.
After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, I went straight to my room. Afraid that Sis Maya will open her mouth and become the target of Aunt's anger.
****
Since the incident that night, Sis Maya has been punished by Aunt Nur. Not given pocket money and pulses for a week. I'm surprised, Sis Maya has income from model photos, but her complaint is that she always doesn't have money.
Indeed, I see his lifestyle is too extravagant, often shopping online. Almost every day couriers deliver goods for him. Mr. Ahmad who always brings in these items
Aunt Nur never knew, because of Sis Maya's reason, her income was to buy expensive clothes and make-up. All of that for maximum appearance and class.
"It's all because of you, Mila!" she said at breakfast with his sister.
"What are you doing, Sis!? You're already making a fuss this morning!" Ask Mila.
"Next time you come home late, please tell me! Don't turn off your cell phone! Just worry about one house!"
Coincidentally, Auntie and Uncle didn't hear their quarrel because they got into the car. They were waiting for me to put on my shoes. After that I sprinted into the car.
Until now, Uncle Nur has not looked for a replacement for Aunt Titin. I feel like my body is very tired, at the age of a dozen years, already have to do household chores.
Starting at dawn, you have to clean up the house and kitchen, then go to school with a full day of study. Then go home, rest for a while, continue to cook and clean the house until the evening.
If my aunt's house wasn't this big, maybe I wouldn't be this tired. Until I no longer had time to see my mother and sister.
"Mah, why don't you look for a replacement for Aunt Titin again? Poor Vira doing all the housework!?" asked Uncle Iwan.
"Hm, looking for ART is easy, it's there foundation. But looking for someone who is honest and likes to work. It's difficult in our house, Pah!" said Aunt Nur.
"So how long are you going to tell Vira to take care of our big house?"
"I'll ask my friends later, who knows they have relatives who want to work for us!"
Their conversation stopped, because the car had arrived in front of the school fence. I kissed the back of Uncle and Aunt's hand, then entered the school yard.

Tin... tin...
The sound of a motorcycle horn startled me, so I looked back. Hm, Bro Nugroho is grinning showing his neat rows of teeth.
"Hey Vira... when are we going out together again?" He asked with a sense of god-level confidence.
"Did we ever go out together, didn't we, Bro?" I started teasing him.
"See, it's beautiful to be amnesiac, ya!" he said.
"Brother has fallen in love with you, loo, Vir!"
Bro Nugroho stopped his motorbike right at
beside me.
I stopped too. When I look into his eyes, it reminds me of someone. Bro Nugroho continued his speech.
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
"Hm, Brother this morning likes to joke, please," I teased.
"Vira... Brother seriously likes you!" he said while touching my shoulder.
I glanced left and right, fortunately there were still a few students at school passing by. Hm, if not, there will be a broken heart in the congregation.
"Well-ah, Vira wants to go straight to class!" I jogged leaving Bro Nugroho who was still dumbfounded in the parking lot.
Actually I was surprised by the student council sister's words, but I quickly controlled myself. If Triana knew about this incident, she would be disappointed. Why did Bro Nugroho choose me over him? After all, I only thought of him as a friend and nothing more.
Duhh, so remember Sis Maya's accusation last night. Want to go to school or date? I have to be careful with Bro Nugroho, it looks like he will try to get what he wants.
The entrance bell rang, my friends and I lined up in the school yard. Today there was a briefing from the principal about the olympiad competition for the field of mathematics studies.
"According to the recommendation from the student council president, one representative from the tenth grade Science One named "Savira Putri," was chosen to represent our school!"
Instantly the voices of students gathered in the courtyard. They looked around to see who the person called the Headmaster was.
"The one named Savira Putri, please come forward!" I went straight to the middle field.
