The afternoon sky was almost gone. It seems like it's time for me to go back home. There is no longer any reason to linger in front of the closed shop terrace.
Regret has now come uninvited. If from the beginning I knew that Nina was really sincere with me, then surely she would have been confided in me about my parents' strange behavior. But how else? he was already angry with me. I doubt he would even be friends with me. But let it be, as long as he stops being ignorant of me.
Uh wait a minute! Lest her anger at me just makes her hate me and more diligent in judging me!? Shit, I'm missteps again.
It's better I think lately. All you need to do now is go home and take a warm bath in the bathtub.
...****************...
My return was not considered by them. It was clear that I was passing next to them at the dinner table. Even when I got close to the dining table to pick up a piece of fresh bread my existence remained undetectable.
Their conversation looks serious. I have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. What is clear is that they fuss about the gender of men and women. When did they become racist about gender?
A few minutes later I was at the dinner table with them. And they were busy discussing things I didn't understand.
"Dad prefers men. It could be that he would be a wiser successor."
"The man is boring. I prefer women. I'm tired of seeing men anyway."
"Who woman can be the successor of the family?!" Dad's tone was slightly elevated.
"But the woman is far more moral than the man."
"Where is there such a thing? Whether or not it depends on the individual. It's not a man or a woman."
"Yes anyway. But women are more cute than men."
"Where are there cute men? Everywhere the man should look mighty, not cute! If the man is cute, mending be so badcong!"
"Just as far as Dad is concerned. I just want a girl. Point!" Said the mother who looked emotional.
"Just a girl! It has to be a man!"
"Women!!"
"Male!!"
"Woman!!
"Male!"
"Women.....!!!" Mom screamed with a crisp sound that made my ears hurt.
BRUKK!!! The sound of my fist punching the dining table. Finally they also want to look at me after they were busy arguing.
"What are you arguing about?! From earlier discussed women and men continue! Lately you've been acting weird, you know?" I said to them. Surprisingly they just smiled, then they both exchanged glances.
"Oh you're there Rui." Said Mother .
"Dad and your mother are talking about ad...." Not done talking all of a sudden mom pinched my waist like mom gave me a code not to tell me anything.
More curious and suspicious. What are they really talking about? Is it related to me? If so why hide it from me try?
"What?"
"It's nothing." Mother said with a fake smile.
"Seriously deh Ruiga was astonished by your strange attitude. I usually just want to talk about anything that is none of my business. But this time I was curious."
"Hm how is it?" Mom looks confused.
"It's mom, it seems Ruiga deserves to know this."
"What the hell?" I said in a annoyed tone.
"Mom and I have a surprise for you." Said Mother. But honestly I'm not that easy to believe. What does the debate between men and women have to do with surprise?
"It doesn't make sense."
"This is why we have a surprise for you. I'm sure Rui will be happy with our gift." Said Mother.
"Huh kado? My birthday was four months ago."
"It doesn't have to be a birthday if you want to give a gift." Said father.
"Why did you argue with men and women? Moreover, the way your debate is so serious and won't lose as if it's a matter of life and death."
"We're afraid you're surprised to be told now. You better wait for a surprise from us." Said mother.
...****************...
Last night, my eyes were not closed at all. Know why? That's because my soul and my mind continue to be haunted by the surprises that my parents say. I don't think they behave like that. I mean, it's not uncommon for them to want to surprise you. Usually if they want to give something they immediately give it to me without a word of surprise.
Even if it is a surprise, they should not immediately reveal to the person concerned. It would be ridiculous to tell people if they want to be pitied by a surprise. If their intention was to surprise, they shouldn't have said it blatantly yesterday if I wanted to be pitied by surprise.
I grumbled so long, I forgot about time. Luckily it was still 5:55 in the morning so I still had time to take a shower before leaving for school. Usually if I wake up late, I don't take a shower and immediately wear a uniform.
After I finished bathing and wearing a uniform, I saw the clock on my phone there was still 14 minutes before the school gate was closed. So I took myself for breakfast first.
I walked down the stairs from the third floor to the first floor. I had not been able to get down the stairs, my ears immediately heard the debate again. No need to ask, surely the debate comes from father and mother. Why are they not going to the office? Usually they always leave early in the morning before 6.30 am.
"Which location do you think is right for a room?" Said Father.
"Whatever doesn't matter as long as it's not downstairs."
"Then we make the room next to Ruiga's room?"
"Eh just anyone! Ruiga knows herself that she likes to tune music out loud. Pity he'll be noise if their room is next door." Mother said in a protest tone.
"So he said it doesn't matter as long as it's not downstairs. Well Ruiga's room is on the third floor the same as ours?"
"Yes but it doesn't have to be next to Ruiga's room either."
This time I chose not to interfere. Mending just listen to their conversation. Who knew I had a leak about the surprise they were referring to.
Yesterday we talked about gender. And now fuss over the location of the room? Does this have anything to do with surprises for me or is this their talk about some other business?
Who are the rooms they stormed for? There were only three family members here and each of them already had a room. What are they planning to do for another room? Make a guest room? Or for a maid? Ah if for the maid is impossible because the helpers have been provided a room on the lower floor.
"Eh Ruiga you're here." Said the father who looked surprised to see my whereabouts at the dining table.
"Why haven't you left school yet? Quickly leave so that it is not too late!" Said Mother.
"I'll leave after you guys stop arguing." I said. And they looked at each other for a moment. After that, they decided to go to work.
"All right, let's go together." Said father.
"Isn't your workplace and my school in the opposite direction?"
"No problem. Today we don't have to come too early. It is you who should come in the morning." Father said.
Freaky... What caused them to change their attitude? Usually, they are always disciplined, but this time they are like underestimating time. Yes, they are the owners of the company so it is free to leave at any time. But kan...
"It has arrived. Quickly enter before the gate is locked!" Said Father.
"Study seriously, Ruiga!" My mother said after kissing me. Thankfully, no one saw this. If anyone sees, ****** I've been bullied out.
