CHAPTER 16

Amethyst's POV

When I woke up I immediately prepared for my day entry in work.

Yes, I thought about this carefully last night before I went to sleep. It's sad but I can't do anything. I always put my family first before me. I badly want to make them happy.


When I was ready to go to work, I peeked at mama in the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm leaving," I said goodbye to mom who was washing the dishes.

"All right, honey, be careful." She looked at me and then she smiled.

"Hayst." I took a deep breath first.

I approached mama and then I kissed her on the cheek and I bent down so that she could kiss me on the head.

"Sorry, just used to it," I said as I shrugged and then we smiled.

"I want it, tho,"

"Oh. Alright, ma, I need to go. Bye!" And then I left.


I didn't really work much anymore because I just handled my resigning papers. I want to leave without resentment, it's just heavy inside, tho.


There is no plastic in us, so we're just really happy in work, but, sadly I'm leaving.
So, when my coworkers found out, they got disappointed. They all had almost the same question and that was, "Why are you leaving?"

But my only answer to them is, "Just. Come on, I know you can all do this. It's just a cruel secret."

They also said that they are sad because the crazy freaks will be reduced to us.
I'll miss this second family of mine.

"Hey, twin." Bella approached me as she's pouting her lips.

I'm currently arranging all my belongings. I didn't help myself to shook my head and laugh a little.

"Why?" my innocent question.

"Why also?" Her snout got even long. I just sighed.

"I'll just tell you soon, you'll be the first person that I'm gonna talk to about what's going on in my life. But for now, I'm sorry but I can't tell you the story. I'm not yet ready." I smile here.

She sighed as well. "All right, I know you. If you don't want to, you don't want to. Just call me right away when you're ready to tell your story, huh!" She then smiles at me too.

"Thank you, bal." She just nodded and then we hugged.

"Don't worry, I will text you as soon as I can tell the story," I whispered here.

"I'll wait," she said as we let go of our hugs.

I kept walking and walking around our room to think of something to reason out to my family.

My sister and I don't have a big room but it's not small either because we have two drawers and we have one each.

"We are here!" Crystal briskly said from the living room.

I walked faster because I felt like I was under more pressure because I still couldn’t think of a reason.

"Amy, get out of here. We're going to eat," mama said from outside.

"I'm coming! I'm just doing something, ma!" I answered.

"Amy, come on, think! think!" I talked to myself as I played with my fingers.

I slowly closed my eyes and sighed when I thought of something. How I wish this will work well.

When I left the room, the food was ready on the table.

"Oh, let's sit down," mama told us and we sat down on the chairs.

"We just bought a dish outside because I don't have time to cook and I'm lazy," mama said while spooning.

We were already eating but I still didn’t know how to open the topic of what I wanted to say.

I feel nervous! I'm scared!

We first talked about Crystal and Allen's doing in their school.

After a moment of silence I spoke.

"Ma, I resigned." They all immediately looked at me. I suddenly felt awkwardness at the way they stared at me.

"Did you have a fight, sister?"Crystal asked.

"Is it difficult?" Allen asked.

"What happened?" uncle Arnaldo asked.

"What did you just said?" mama furrowed when she asked.

"Woah, wait, one by one!" And I even held out my hands as if stopping them.

Because of this, my nervousness in my chest seemed to decrease.

"Okay okay." I clear my throat first and fixed my seat.

"Let me finish speaking first and then you can ask me your other questions, ok?" And I gave them a thumbs up and they nodded. I let out an air first.

“I didn’t had fight or quarrel at our work,
"Difficult? Yes, it's true that no job is easy but that's not my reason,
"Uhm, I left because I just wanted to work abroad. That's all, yet I resigned properly and there is no other problem," I explained.

"Are you sure?" mama asked and I nodded in response.

"Do you already have a plan?" uncle asked.

"Yes," I smiled.

"How come that you thought of working abroad? What's your plan? When did you planned about this? You surprised us. You should have let me know first," mama said one after another.

"Oh, come on, mom, just trust me! You know I can handle myself." I smiled and looked at them one by one.

"We know, but why is that?" mama asked in a super curious tone.

"Why not? I think it'll be easier for us to get have a better life if I just work in another country. Isn't it? The salary is higher, you know. Besides, I know you'll agree, mama." I even raising my eyebrows while smiling.

She just sighed.

"Come on, just calm down. Tomorrow I'll leave first, I'll take care of everything that I'll be needing. Maybe I'll be gone in about a week,"

"One week? One week is kinda too much, isn't?" mama protested but I just rolled my eyes.

"Of course I have a lot to do, ma. And there are many of us. I won't just work on my papers alone, I will have somebody,
"Ok, I don't have any hard feeling or anything that's I'll do this. I'll just do this for you. It's my own decision and I just need your support." I smile at them.

"I felt ashamed, honey." Mama even bowed her head a little and I sighed.

"Mama, what are you talking about?" I acted a little annoyed and then I reached for mama's hand. I was just sitting next to mama.

"Why would you feel ashamed?" I emphasized.

"Of course, you're the one who always working very ha---"

"Shhh, off! Off!" And I even held out my finger to stop mama from speaking.

"Mama, will you allow me to go work abroad periodt," I emphasized to them and mama just nodded slowly and I smiled.

"Wait, where did you find that job?" I stopped eating my food at mama's question.

Oh my, I'm not prepared for this question.

"F-from a co-worker of mine. She also did resigned on our work," I replied.

"How about Bella? Is she coming with you?" mama asked.

Oh, geez.

"N-no, she won't. She doesn't want, too." I even pretended to frown and mama just nodded.

"Ok, all set. All clear," I said happily and I continue to eat.

"But honestly, I also don't see a reason for you to refuse. Come on, I think this just a great idea. We kinda need this," I said directly without resentment.

I said good bye out of respect.

It's not right for me to just leave suddenly and disappear for a few days, isn't it? Of course they will look for me.


----

"Everything's fine. I've already quit my job. I can come with you tomorrow." I texted Aivan.

I am here now in front of our house.

Terrace, you may call.

I was just looking at the sky.
The moon right now is bright and even accompanied by beautiful stars. They really calm me down somehow every time I watch them.

"Ring. Ring ring." My ringtone is a cute voice.

"Okay good. See me at the same room we rented last night. seven am sharp." I poorly read his reply.

I took a deep breath before replying. "Noted."
Seconds later, he texted something.
"Have a good night." I rolled my eyes at his text.

I just didn't reply to it. How can my night be good, if I lost my job.

I turned off the screen of my phone first and stared at mama's plants. But, I can't really see them clear because it's night and we also turned off the lights here outside.

"Why is this happening to me?" I even raised my eyebrows at this question.

These past few days I don't really know what I'm doing. A lot is happening so I feel like it's just a dream and not true!

"Sis, aren't you coming in yet?"

"Oh! Ghost!" I shuddered in shock at Crystal's sudden questioning from behind me.

"Uhm, maybe later." I look around her. She was just peeking out at the door.

"All right. I'm going to sleep,"

"All right. Good night." I smiled at her and she went inside.

"They're the answer." I even shook my head and held my nape.

"I just love them. I'm willing to do anything for them---
"Right! It's bad if it's bad but Aivan is worse!" I snapped my fingers by what I thought.

"I'm going to use you? I don't know, it will not that much, I think? It's just. Of course I should retaliate even if it is just low-key. Duhhh, he just ruined my life!" I talk to myself.

"Turns out he's the one who can help us somehow?" I nodded and said.

After a few moment, I frowned.

"Am I a prostitute then?" I felt goosebumps by this question.

"Dang! Forget it!" Huh?

Before I went completely crazy I went inside and locked our door.

I first alarmed my phone at 5:30 am and then I lay beside my sister.

"You're beautiful!" I slapped her weakly.

What? I just want to do this for no reason, why?

Crystal is indeed really beautiful, tho.

Just the right size of the face and a bit of a jawline. Her eyes are also beautifully browned and her eyelashes are also beautiful. Her eyebrows are also beautifully naturally curved that you may think that she is mean or asfast but she is not, in fact, she's kind and also crazy.

You may think that she was rude but the truth is she is innocent.

She knows nothing when it comes to vices or bad deeds, which is good.

She doesn't have to use any lip products anymore because her lips are already pretty pink. The tip of his nose was just right, it really looks good on her.

Her physique is also just right and if I'm not mistaken her height is 5'6''. Her skin color is between white and colored. She aslo has flawless skin.

She is already sleeping soundly so I knew she didn't felt what I did a while ago.

"But I'm more beautiful than you because I'm your sister," I said with matching flip hair and then I closed my eyes to sleep.


There will be another battle in the next few days. I can already sense that. I just winced at that thought.

When will this end?! It's like I'm having a nightmare even though I'm awake!
