ANDROMOUS
ELEVEN

Jeremy carried his bag as he walked out of the room quite boring. His class has just finished, usually Jeremy will settle in another faculty cafeteria for a while but this afternoon he did not do his habit.

Jeremy had gotten calls from his parents and family even before Jeremy's class started. That's why Jeremy didn't want to follow his parents' orders. He does not want to be terrorized by thousands of messages from the om, cousins to his parents. Jeremy rode his bike at a fairly high speed, letting his bike streak across the crowded streets in the afternoon.

Jeremy's family home looks full of people. When his feet stepped in, Jeremy only realized that his extended family was gathering with the grandfather of the family Father and grandmother of the family Mother became the center of their position.

Seeing the arrival of Jeremy, the Mother stood up and hugged her only child tightly while peeping the child's head. Without any resistance from Jeremy, the Mother kissed his son's cheek. But after seeing Jeremy's expression that was just flat without a smile made the Mother stop. The Mother looked awkward afterwards but she covered up by embracing the child.

"Mom, this is Jere's getting higher, right? I'd be so short if beside the adek." joked Mother to grandmother and other families who laughed, "Sit yuk, Mother already masakin your favorite shrimp loh!" his mother's enthusiastic speech made Jeremy only be able to sigh. He could not resist at this moment so the best option was to come sit down without saying a word if he was asked.

The atmosphere is really awkward. Several times their family made jokes and tried to make Jeremy laugh but the results were nil. Until the female cousin who often sticks to Jeremy upset himself because it is not in the hush by the man who loves the green color.

Jeremy didn't finish his meal, he put a spoon and fork on the side of the table before looking seriously at his grandmother and grandfather, "What's wrong? Why did you ask Jere to come home?" it was the first sentence that came out after Jeremy set foot in his own family home. There were no pleasantries and directly broke through by pressing the obvious points he asked.

"Neither be polite! I was just talking to you about Jer—"

"Jere doesn't have a lot of time" so much not want to linger in this house, Jeremy to cut out the unimportant complaints from the cousin who is very disturbing him.

The Grandma smiled faintly, in contrast to Grandpa who looked at Jeremy seriously, "Grandfather wants you to be Grandpa's successor later. Without a word of rejection." Grandfather said firmly, making the other Jeremy family can only be silent because they feel afraid of the aura of the Grandfather who was still strong and creepy as before.

Jeremy nodded his head then played a fork nearby, "Grandfather wants without rejection so Jere wants unconditionally. Deal Kek?" for the sake of his well-being during his later tenure, Jeremy made a pact with Grandpa. Because Jeremy does not want if in the future he will be forced to marry by the Grandpa and Grandma like Mother and Father first. Jeremy just wants to marry the person he loves.

Luckily, Grandpa understood. The agreement with his extended family witness brought Jeremy relief.

That means he doesn't have to leave Jesselyn, right?

Keenan runs in and finds his twin brother, Kieran hugging the body of the Mommy with eyes that sharply draw the eyes of their ex-Mommy husband, aka Daddy, both of them. The look of the Daddy was not much different from the gaze Kieran gave.

Makian kept coming out from the side of their Daddy's lips that were shown to Kieran. Keenan saw how Kieran's trembling body heard such an inappropriate thing to his own son. Keenan's feet confidently stepped wide towards Kieran. The change in expression is real. From the first look very angry replaced with a big smile as if welcoming the presence of Keenan.

As the Daddy came forward to hug him, Keenan immediately dodged. He does not want to be embraced by people who have made his twin sister sick. His hand did not even want to just touch his Daddy's hand, "If you do not consider my twin, then you also do not need to consider me. Get used to fair. My twin has always been your victim. So I hope you leave now because I don't want to see you here anymore." in fact Keenan's sharp speech always sticks. Especially after he got used to Daddy's behavior that treated Keenan and Kieran differently.

Keenan transforms his own world into one focused on the world of others and keeps trying to help them, even if he is the one who should be helped.

"Are you thinking about it again?" Shanaya who was originally working on her college assignment turned to the Mami who had just come with a glass of milk for Shanaya.

Shanaya stared at the glass of milk that Mami had just put on the table and then looked back at her Mami with a look of disappointment. Shanaya understands very well what the Mami is talking about. The course he is currently taking.

Seeing the Mami sitting in an empty space close to her, Shanaya shifted a little while trying to focus on working on the design of clothes that will be used as her UAS value. Ignoring the Mami who looked at him fixedly, "These are for your good." it turns out that the Mami is still trying to persuade her, "Later you must be a famous businessman, So would ya?" now even trying to make him imagine how good the dream job of the Mami.

Shanaya looked back at the book showing Shanaya's sketch, "It was Mami's dream, not mine. Why should entrepreneurs?" sahut Shanaya with a skillful hand pinned the pin at some point of the fabric used to a model.

"Because it's a guarantee job, Mei." Hearing Mami's reply, Shanaya laughed softly even though her hands and eyes remained focused on her task.

An answer that his mother always gave. A job that guarantees it, he said. Though there are many other jobs that are quite guaranteed apart from entrepreneurs. Yes, for example, the job that Shanaya dreamed of since she was in elementary school is a designer. A very interesting job for Shanaya even though at the beginning of registration not many choose this major. It is also the cause of the mother does not like the ideals or dreams of the child.

Shanaya clucked in annoyance, "Yes if that's not what Shanaya wants why should Mami make it? Enough Koko who became a victim yes Mi, Shana did not want." at a time like this Shanaya must be grateful for her ears are often released to hear the spicy babble of Saguna and Keenan. Must try.

At all times this is all Shanaya thinks about. He was afraid that his parents were disappointed but he also did not want to sacrifice himself like the Koko in the past. Until his Koko ended his life with a large amount of medicine. Shanaya does not want this to happen again both in her life and the lives of others, quite once Shanaya feels deep sadness because of the loss of Koko who always supports her.
