The sound of her ringtone for alarm, is making her annoyed. With that thought, she just smile and said to herself That's the purpose of the annoying ringtone, Hya. Still have the urge to stay on her bed, until the voice of her mother penetrates inside of her ears.
"I'm up, I'm up, so stop nagging! It's too early in the morning, Mom" she stood up, and quickly fix her bed. She felt tired, while everyone is noisy. She just ignore the noise made by her brothers who clean their house, and her mother nagging while preparing for their breakfast.
"Leonard! Oliver! breakfast is ready!" her mother shouted "Hya, hurry up. You have to prepare your things, we will be late" turning to her while opening the fridge.
"They're prepared, Mom. And Relax. Everything will be fine. This isn't our first trip" she said in soothing voice. She saw the apron with her mother's name on it. Yolanda. Her mom's eyes turn to slits, and put her hands on her waist, while she's dawdling towards the sink.
"But this is our first time alone...without your father..." Her mother's voice cracked. It caught her attention to stop. She looked at her, and she can clearly see Yolanda's tears at bay.
"Mom...it has been three years. Dad would be sad, if you're not cheerful" Her brothers approached their mother. Leonard, the eldest, hugged Yolanda.
"Let's stop the drama, we will be left by the ferry boat if we keep idling" Hya frowned.
"This isn't idling, Oli" emphasizing a certain word, Hya scoffs. She continue to walk to the sink and brush her teeth.
"Argh! What I'm telling is, Past is in the past, guys. We have the future to prepare for. It's not that I don't miss, Dad. It's...It's what he said. Don't keep things at bay" he exclaimed. Oli turns to his mother with his soft eyes, just like his father's.
"Mom...don't keep you tears at bay. It'll be painful. Literally, and figuratively" He turned his back before his mother say something.
Hya keeps brushing her teeth, and do not pay any attention. But she heard her brother, Leo, helping their mother to sit down and finish the preparation for their breakfast.
It has been 1 hour 30 minutes, and nobody speak. From theoment they put their luggage on the trunk of their van, until they reached the pier. This kind of tention between Oliver and Hya was Leo's chance to speak.
"Guys...ahhhh...Dad would be—" he was cut off by his younger sibling'sglares.
"No he won't. We're just waiting for the moment this boat to stop" Hya fumed.
"We will settle things once and for all" Oli continues.
"Besides..." Hya stopped
"Father says If opinions do not coincide—" Oli was cut off.
"Settle it with a brother's fight" Hya continued. Leo starts to chuckle until he laughs, and grinned happily looking at his siblings.
"What?" they both hissed
"You guys, sync, don't you agree?"
"Obviously" Hya said sarcastically.
"Stop acting like kids. You're 23 Oli, and you are the man, unless you're not. You Hyacinth is 20, and you should respect your older brother. You're no longer a teenager" He's scolding them. Gently.
"Stop this quarrel and make up. I'll look for Mom, She must be lost right now" he stood up and leave the two.
"You're the odd one here, Leo" Hya countered.
"Well, I don't want him to get mad either. He's odd, Hya." it was a very long silence between them. Until...
"I...I—I'm sorry about...earlier" said Oli.
"Yeah, I know. I get it, and I'm sorry too, if I didn't get what you meant before" She said in a low voice. Oli grinned and ruffles his sister's head.
"Nah, We're siblings, and you belongs to my family" Hya smile, but sunddenly it turns to a seriousness
"Oli" she called out.
"What?" he looked at her. Confused.
"Do you rember the day when we go shopping with Leo, and his girl, Andrea?" He thinks...
