Comparative Scale
Unsettled

Now, my house feels even hotter than hell. I really want not to go home. The actions that Uncle did to me always flashed in my shadow and it made me reluctant to stay home.

"To..." Mama called me when my heart came home earlier than usual.

"Yes, my mother." I answered and sat down next to her.

"There are activities in school, Ke? how lately Mama noticed you always come home late afternoon or night."

"Eh, yes Ma. Keke joined some of Ma's excursions, so Keke was busy." a little lie for the good of my opinion.

" Yes, gapapa too. Actually, Mama also glad you have a lot of activities. Let there be busyness as well." while gently stroking my hair.

I laid my body and my head rested on my feet.

Ma, I'm sorry Meiske wasn't honest with Mama. Meiske doesn't want Mama to think. After all, we're just the two of us here..

My mother still stroked my hair and I enjoyed every touch she gave me. With the intensity of Mama's work so dense, opportunities like this are indeed rare in my opinion. So, I'm not gonna let that opportunity just disappear.

Today the school teacher held a meeting after the semester exam and soon the school holidays arrived.

I am confused by this situation. I don't know what to do on vacation. It can't just be at home.

"Hey..Daydreaming." Jody surprised. I smiled at him who was then sitting next to me.

"Think what the hell? how serious is the samoai - until I who stand in front do not look."

"No. I was just thinking, where are you going for the holidays." I replied.

"Sorry this holiday I can't be with you. I was told by my mother to go to my stepfather's place and meet my half-brother. You know Ke, I've never met my brother."

" Yes, not papa." I tried to smile but in my mind I still wandered to where I wanted to go.

"That's right. Daydream again."

"Eh, sorry." scratched my head that didn't itch.

Jody stood up, holding my hand.

"Come." slightly pulled me to my feet.

"Where?" I asked who was standing.

"Road. Long time ago we didn't walk together." blinking one eye.

I hit his arm. Jody clasped my hand tightly and we walked together.

***

"Your house first, yeah..Let's change into your uniform first." I nodded and Jody drove her car to my house.

Up there, I saw Uncle sitting in front of the house. I immediately went down, stepped inside while Jody followed me from behind.

"Uncle Jiang." greet Jody politely to Uncle. The one who was disarmed replied with a short smile.

"Sit here, Son Jody. Uncle's going inside first."

"Oh yes, please Uncle." replied Jody.

The uncle stood up and walked into the house.

I went to my room, closed the door and sat by the bed to change my clothes.

Suddenly the door of my room opened. Uncle!

I stood up to get a blanket, closed my body and shifted backwards. I swallowed my saliva with an irregular breath.

However, he just stood up, looked at me like he was after food, smiled cunningly, then closed the door again.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, but as fast as lightning came to the door and locked it.

"Damn! I forgot to lock it!"

Actually, I was about to head to the bathroom to just clean my body. However, I canceled my intention.

I opened the door slowly, looking out. Slender.. I walked slowly, looking over here. Oh, it turns out Uncle was sitting outside with Jody.

I quickly went into the bathroom, just washed my face and then as fast as lightning came out of the bathroom and went back into my room, did not forget to lock the door, change my clothes, and so on, then out.

I stepped out. Uncle's still there and Jody.

"Is he ready?" asked Jody who made Uncle look at me. I nodded back to Jody.

"Uncle, Meiske and I are out for a while" Jody said politely.

" yes..Be careful on the road, son. Remember, take good care of Uncle's son, yeah. Don't go home tonight."

"Yes uncle, definitely. "then Jody stood up and stepped up.

I passed Uncle with my head down because I didn't want to see his face. But, instead Uncle put his hand on my shoulder which made me a little surprised.

"Take care of yourself!" then patted my shoulder.

I sped up my steps without Kurespon his words and lightning-fast got into Jody's car.

Jody had already driven her car but my mind was still wandering considering the events earlier.

"God, what the hell do you think to such a surprise." Jody looked at me while her fingers were already grasping my fingers.

"Eh, there's nothing."

"Hmm...are there any more secrets you don't want to discuss, Ke?" jody asked.the stronger his hand grips.

"Ga there's Jo." I tried to calm myself.

"Hm...Yes, that's it.." And we're both quiet.

Jody's car is parked on the beach. I rushed down. Aahh, Jody does know where I can be comfortable.

I chose to sit on the bench facing directly to the beach, while Jody was still busy looking for a place to eat.

5 Minutes later, I heard her screams. I turned my head, Jody just waved her hand telling me to get there immediately.

I stepped towards him. There is a small house with a chair facing the beach.

"Sit. What do you want to eat, Ke?" ask Jody when I get there.

"What aj, Jo.." answered me who then I've been sitting in a chair.

My lyrics, Jody had ordered food and I was sitting next to me.

"Where.Comfortable?" tanyakanya. I nodded with a small smile.

Jody stood towards me, then crouched down in front of me.

"May you like it. And, what you're thinking could be quickly gone."

"Eh, why?"

"Because, I don't like seeing you daydream."

"I'm not daydreaming."

" Oh yeah? then what?"

"I was just thinking."

" Think what?"

"Thinking about this holiday."

" Why?"

" I want to go to my sister's, but your mom's alone at home."

"If so, just help Mama at home."

"So!" the pressure of the last sentence jolted Jody a little.

"Hmm..why? there's something you're hiding again, Ke?"

"Eh, I.mmm.ga is there, Jo." How I answered.

"Ke! lookatme!" I raised my face to look at him. But with the lips I bit.

"Say, what's wrong?" jody asked gently while clasping my fingers.

I shook my head with the lips I kept bitten.

"Haiiiss..." Jody then stood up, turned her back to me and walked away.

"Eh..." I'm flustered. In confusion, I just stared at him walking further and further away.

Upon awakening, I got up, quickly followed him and hugged Jody from behind. It stopped.

"Ke, who am I?" tanyakanya. Confused what to answer.

Jody turned her body, holding both of my shoulders.

"What do you think of me as, Ke?" ask again.

I'm silent. Mind fucked. I bite my lips hard.

"What do I mean in your eyes?" ask Jody again.

"Why is it every time you have a problem, it's not me you're looking for? should I know from someone else, Ke?" I'm shaking.

"Then, tell me."

"Tell me what?"

"Everything I don't know." I closed my eyes, swallowed my saliva.Still silent.

"Did I mean nothing to you, Ke?" and I'm still silently pecking.

"Damiss.." Jody let go of her grip on my shoulder and then stepped back.

Uh, how is this. I have to how...
