Papa's house, evening

KNOCKS ECHOED THE ROOM.

"Kak, bangun kak! Dah nak maghrib dah ni!" Papa called from outside as he knocked on the door.

Rubbing my eyes as I sat up, my hair was now equivalent to a bird's nest. My hand reached over at the night stand, finding my phone.

It's almost seven.

How long did I sleep?

I always sleep with the door locked, just in case. Papa must be wondering whether I'm alive or not, seeing how long I kept myself in my room. I fixed up my messy hair and walked out.

Meeting with Papa's exhausted eyes as I entered the kitchen, pulling a chair in front of him. "Kenapa ni, Papa?" I titled my head, a worried expression plastered on my face. "Pasal adik ke, pa? Mana budak tu?"

He rubbed his temples, frustrated. Sighing before replying, "Adik dah balik asrama. Papa balik kerja, masuk bilik dia dah kosong."

I let out a soft sigh as a response. "Papa jangan risau. Kakak kan ada? Nanti kakak tengok-tengok la budak tu kalau gaduh ke apa."
