“Helga, how much do we have right now?” I asked
“Four thousand five hundred dollars, just five hundred more dollars to go” she replied
“I just pray we get more customers, dad is dying” I contemplated
“Don’t you worry, everything will be fine, it’s only 4:0clock, I’m sure that before seven, we’ll sell more rice cakes and get enough money and even extra” Helga consoled
“Thanks Helga, you’re a lifesaver, I wonder what I would have done if you’re not available” I said
“No Elle, don’t say that again, it’s God, not me” she answered
“If I can find a part time job, it’ll be great” I said
“I wish we are not dropouts, if we had enough money to finish schooling, we would have gotten reputable jobs than selling rice cakes” she said sadly
“Everything will soon be ok” I said as more customers came
We truly sold more than enough rice cakes and went to the hospital to get dad’s drugs
He was discharged and we took him home
“Dad you have to stop the thinking, you have to limit the level of your brooding, it’s what is making your condition grow worse” I said as we got home
“She’s speaking the truth uncle” Helga added
“I’m sorry for my troubles Elle, it’s just that I always think about your mum, if she’s alive now, we won’t be in this mess” he answered weakly
“Dad, please you need to stop it, that’s the only way I can be happy, I can’t loose you too” I said
“You won’t, you know I can’t leave you too” he said and I hugged him..
? Stanley ?
“Welcome back son” dad said and gave me an hug after the party
“Thanks Dad, but I didn’t miss you, not even a bit” I said seriously
“I didn’t miss you too, but here you are” he answered with a smug little smile on his mischievous face
“I designed your room for you” Elvira said and pulled me upstairs
“Thanks for saving me from the old man” I wishpered playfully
“It’s nothing, but you’ve gotta see the designs I made in your room, the maids were told to do it but I told them not to worry, that I’ll take care of it” she said
“Oh, I can’t wait then” I replied as she opened the door
“Tada!” She exclaimed but it’s childish, wallpapers of Ben10, Tom and Jerry, Mr Biggs, cartoons and all others are what she designed the room with
“Elvira!, I’m twenty four years old for the love of noodles, why did you design it like it’s a room for a five years old kid” I complained
“Well, fourteen years ago before you left Singapore, Ben 10 was your favorite movie, Tom and Jerry is what you can’t do without watching and Mr Biggs is like heaven for you, that’s why I had it designed with their wall papers, you don’t like it?”
“Look Elvira, if you’ve done this fourteen years ago when I was still a kid, I’d appreciate it but now, this is rubbish” I said shabbily
“You call what I devoted my own time to do, you call it rubbish?” She demanded
“I’m sorry sis but I’m saying the truth” I answered and she pulled out the belt in her trousers
I ran for my life back to the living room and hid behind Steve
“You’ve annoyed the psych©path again” he said in mockery as Elvira advanced with her belt
“Tell him to come out from behind your back” she demanded
“Stan, your psych©path is here, better come out” Steve wishpered but Elvira heard and lashed at Steve
“Who are you calling a psych©path?” She said and raised her hand to give another lash but Steve escaped and it hit me instead
I ran back upstairs to my room and locked the door
I’m back again to face her troubles
I took a look at the room again, the decor is just too childish
Then someone knocked
“Elvira please spare me” I pleaded
“It’s Rihana” a voice said
I opened the door and she entered in her usual stylish manner
“So what did you get for your fiancee?” She asked, sitting on the bed and taking off her shoes
“Nothing” I answered
“You don’t dare” she said
“Is that a threat?” I asked
“Sort of” she answered
“Then bring it on” I replied
She stood up and walked over to me, she pulled me into a kss which I did not resist
She broke the kss and faced me
“I don’t want you to be too close to Elvira again” she said, searching through my eyes
“That was a joke right?” I asked
“I wasn’t smiling when I said it” she answered more seriously
“Are you high?, You know I can’t draw away from Elvira, she’s my only sister and I love her despite her psych© character” I retorted
“No, just don’t get used to her too much, please” she insisted but I broke free from her grip and stepped back from her
“So you still have this authoritative and possessive behavior, I hate it when someone is trying to force me to do something and you know it” I said
“I don’t care, all I care about is that you should do what I like, I don’t like Elvira’s personality and that’s final!, So far this is still on my finger!” She snapped, waving the ring on her finger (the one I gave her during our engagement) at me
“Then make me hate her if you can” I said and waltzed out of the room
Ouch….back to face more than enough troubles this time…
