Looking For Murder
I'm watching you, Oniichan

The sun is high. Even the light penetrated the window glass of the 10th floor apartment. Yusa wriggled from the top of her soft bed as the heat of the sun hit her body. Holding the blinding sunlight with his left hand, while winking faintly he saw a white bandage wrapped in his wrist.

" What is this? " Jose for a moment thought. " When did I get this wound? " Yusa pressed the bandage slowly.

" oom.. Sick" He grimaced with pain.

"Ah. Ja. I recall. This is the cut I made that day. Why am I still alive? Who brought me here? Questions changed in his head. He didn't know who he was going to ask to get the answer.

Drrr... Drrr... Yusa's phone shook on her bedside. Slowly Yusa grabbed the phone. There's a Kenta name on the phone screen. While massaging her slightly dizzy head, Yusa raised the grill.

" yes. Hello Kenta"

"Finally you pick up my phone. Thanks god. You go anywhere. 2 days does not show the nose stick to the restaurant. Big boss is angry. Your career could be over, man"

" 2 days ? " Yusa muttered in the heart.

"Hmmm. I'm not feeling well. Sorry I didn't get to tell you "

"So how are you doing now? Is it better?"

"Yes. That's .. "

"Thank God then. If you can, get into work today. I'll help you talk to Big Boss"

"Yes. I'll try."

"All right then. See you at the resto"

"OKs. See you around"

Yusa put her phone back to the nightstand.

" 2 days? Was I really unconscious for 2 days?"

Suddenly the door to his room opened. A young woman about 25 years old entered while carrying a tray of food.

"Oniichan (Sister ⁇ ️) is awake? Why did you sleep so long? Just trouble. Oniichan knows I'm busy. My job is so much. My time is precious. Got to take care of things like this. Makes my time wasted. If it wasn't Papa asking me, I wouldn't be wasting my time" Omel Hikari.

Hikari placed the tray she carried over Yusa's body.

"Breakfast first. The milk and porridge should be consumed. After that the medicine should also be taken". Hikari sits on the edge of Yusa's bed, takes her cell phone from her jacket and starts busying herself with it.

Yusa follows Hikari's orders without much talking. He really knows the character of the brother who is stubborn and can not be denied.

"Hmmm.." Hikari answered without looking at Yusa.

" What exactly happened to me?"

Hikari stopped his activities. He distracts her, looking at Yusa's face.

" Did Oniichan not remember?"

"I don't remember anything, Hi"

Hikari sighed.

" Oniichan found an unconscious security apartment in the car. With the car still on. Oniichan arrived at the apartment at 7 a.m. Oniichan did not get out of the car for more than 15 minutes. This makes security suspicious. The apartment manager called me. Want me not to come. Where Papa has mandated me to look after you. And what Oniichan has done. Messy condition, wrist scar incision. Oniichan is going to kill himself?"

Yusa reluctantly answers Hikari's question. There will be another question if he answers that question. He was confused where to start.

Yusa continued eating. Spent the okayu* porridge and took the medicine that his sister brought earlier.

" I have to hurry. The manager was waiting for me" Yusa switched the conversation to avoid Hikari's question.

"Oniichan, why don't you accept Papa's offer ? Why oniichan should bother working at resto ? So the waiter anyway. A lowly job done only by lowly people. While the company needs you"

" There will be you. You're better than me anyway. I feel like there is no passion in that direction" Yusa tried to calmly respond to her brother's explosive remarks.

" Alah's. Cliche reasons. I don't understand your way of mind. What are you looking for and proving, Oniichan ? Oh, that's it, it's up to you. I'm going back to the office. There's still a lot to do" Hikari got up from her seat and walked towards the door. In front of the room door, he stopped turning his body while looking sharply at Yusa.

" Oniichan remember yes. If until Oniichan does something that damages the family's good name, I don't hesitate to kill you. I'm watching you, Oniichan" Hikari said with a drawn look.

“I won't ruin the family's good name, Hi-chan. Because I've been letting go for a long time. People will not know that I am the son of a successful businessman in this country”.

Hikari snorted in annoyance.

Brake !! The door slammed firmly. Yusa could only sigh heavily.

* Okayu or Japanese rice porridge is one of the dishes that are usually eaten when sick or not feeling well. This dish has a very mild taste and easy to digest, making it a perfect food if you do not have a lot of appetite. In addition, okayu is also eaten for breakfast, in some hotel restaurants there serve Okayu in the morning. In Japan, usually porridge is made of water and white rice from the local country, the rice has a shorter size. For flavoring the porridge, the most commonly used topping is umeboshi or pickled plums that have a sour and salty taste, leeks or can also be added with eggs.
