Faraway But Near

Bad Day

1.5, AM

And all are just becoming so perfect until now, where everything started to crumble.

sounds of breaking glass and huge slaps when dawn comes

"Okay--- what happened?" as Jannah just woke up from her sleep and looks at her phone clock showing its 3:55 am.

"Wha-?" she stood up and trying to capture what is actually happening.

"You said that this will not be over, she is still a child. You can't do this right now!" her mom shouted.

"Well, this is about time you think what is important for both of us, you did not want this and not wanting to cooperate with me, so how? What's the use of staying this house when you are all not listening to what I want!" her father roared.

the door slammed and cries of her mom can be heard from far

Jannah tries to open the door slowly but she hesitated and just stand there a couple of minutes.

And when her mom finally stand up.

"Ma..." she gave her mom a hug and patted her back and tried to calm her down while her eyes are filled with tears.

"It's gonna be okay, ma...", as she kisses her mother's head.

"Let's perform Subuh prayer okay?" Jannah trying to persuade her mom.

Jannah hold her mom and tries to lift her with one of her arms and move slowly to her parents's bedroom.

She had a family problem since when she was only 11 years old because of her father's alcoholic attitudes. And the problems are coming back due to her father is always involved in gambling activities.

1.5, PM

School just ended pretty quickly because its the last day of school and on the 2nd May, the first term school holiday starts for 10 days.

All she wanted to do is finish her homework within 3 days and after that just chill and revise a bit because the first term exam starts when the school re-opens.

4.5, PM

Fourth day of the holiday and yes, she got to finally open her roleplay account.

"Yesss, finally I can fool around a bit", as she rolls herself with a blanket into a cinnamon roll.

"Login, yeap. WHAT THE- I got, wow, banyak jua," and as she clicked on a message from Ian.

Translation: And thats alot.

Ian: Hey, I am just wondering, what are your interests?

And she typed.

Jen: What kind? Sports? Anything?

She clicked Sent.

And just an instant, Ian's chat status turns into a green light.

"He's online?"

Ian: Um, yeah. Interests like your kind of music?

Jen: I do like some laid back songs because sometimes I am gonna rage even about little things. I do love songs with a rock vibe to it but its better to not listen to it.

Ian: Oh really? What does make you rage the most?

Jen: Blueticks.

Ian: Really? And hey we are close to be honest.

Jen: What- why? I am not even related to you, you don't even live here.

Ian: Our names are near I and J.

Jen: Aint funny, hoe.

Ian went offline

"You kiddin me?" as she rolled her eyes infront of the laptop screen.

Aika is online

Aika-chan: Had fun talkin with him?

Jen: No, that fag just blueticked me. I rage ALWAYS when I got blueticked. Its R U D E

Aika went offline

"Now you are offline, dua kali lima durang ane, sama saja, padantah adi beradi, ataupun cousins, antah eh, inda ku tau lagi eh!", she sighed and closed all her tabs on Google Chrome.

Translation: There are just the same, no wonder they are siblings or whatever they are, cousins? Ugh- I dont know at all!
