To The Other Side

Part 6: Deal

POV

The night after the conversation between Blaze and Hali, was hell for Gempa. Duri chose not to tell anyone, especially to Gempa and Taufan but he never realized because of his action that his brother was getting hurt. 

Saturday morning...

4.00 am

Gempa woke up and felt his body hurt anywhere because of yesterday night. He remembers that night when Halilintar just barged inside of his room and yelled at him for no reason. It's so hard to hear anyone since everyone has fallen asleep but the door was left open a little just enough for Blaze to watch Gempa's suffering. Gempa sighs and slowly walks to the bathroom to get a shower. The cold water runs onto his body as the memories of beating flash into his mind. He was hit by a belt. 

'OW BROTHER, STOP! IT'S HURT!' *crying* *screaming*

'SHUT UP!' *continue beating*

Gempa presses soap and rubs onto his body. However, because of the scar and bruises he received yesterday, it made him hiss in pain and try to do it slowly. The tears come to his eyes as he tries to hold the pain as he grip his body tightly.

'YOU FUCKING ANNOYING!'

'WHAT DID I DO?!'

Gempa wraps the towel around his waist and gets out of the bathroom. Then he wears the clothes that are already provided in the closet and goes straight to the kitchen to start his duties. I mean he is more like a housekeeper. He does all the things that he usually does, cleaning, cooking, and all the stuff, and when the clock strikes 6.00 am, he is done and goes to his room. Usually at 6 o'clock the elemental siblings wake up and have their breakfast. All they do is just get up and straight to the dining table to eat. The food was already prepared in front of them. Not just food, plates, drinks, and all eating stuff already prepared by Gempa. They like living a luxurious life, to put it short.

The elementals already sitting in their place for eating but the second elder brother notices someone is missing and he is annoyed. "Does none of you bother to ask Gempa to join us for breakfast?" he says, "uh no? I mean if he wants to eat he should come down." Solar said. "Leave him be, Taufan. If he is hungry, he just has to cook by himself." Halilintar said. "Ugh, you gotta be kidding me," he mumbles and goes to his little brother's room. He knocks three times, "Oi Gempa, aren't you hungry? Come eat." and Gempa says "I am not hungry. just not yet." "Oh okay, then," Taufan said and left the room.

Gempa sighs, as he pulls his legs near his chest and looks out from the window. 'If only Mum and Dad were here, maybe none of this would happen'. Gempa grabbed his purse and left the room. He opens the door but someone stops him, so he looks at the person, it's Taufan, "Hey, are you okay?" he asks as he looks at his younger brother to answer, 'No, I'm not' he thought, "You've been avoiding me since breakfast, just so you know if you have a problem, you could just tell me." Taufan said but still, Gempa didn't respond, 'If I tell the truth, You will argue with him. I don't want that to happen', he thought. He smiles and immediately leaves the house but Taufan knows that...
