9 Hand me over your money!

Waking up from a nap, Malina notices the sky already colored with dusk. Feeling fresh after having a good cry and taking nap to forget the sad part. Its a sacred routine for her so she can wake up feeling normal again. She rarely indulges this routine since cry can never accomplish anything. But today is different. She needs it so she can accept her new life and move forward.

She grabs a quick shower and makes dinner for two. She didn't bother preparing food for Siti since she won't eat it anyway. But she did bring out grapes and apple for her. Befriended her for a long time, she already got used with Siti odd habit when it comes to eating.

As soon they finished having dinner. Marshall went outside and sitting at the porch to smoke. While Siti helping Malina tidy up a bit the guest room for Alex's two companions before going next to Malina's room. Apart from putting extra pillow and blanket, Malina's room already tidies up in preparation to go to anticipated Korean trip.

Since both of them already finished packing yesterday, they spent their remaining time to enjoy talking themselves before separating again. Siti will head to Korean as planned tomorrow morning while Malina will follow Alex. But not long after Alex arrive and Marshall knocked the door to inform it. Siti excuses herself and walks out.

The wall is thin. Siti who sleeping in the bridal room next to her squirming uncomfortable on the bed. Even though she cannot clearly hear the next room conversation, she can still hear the giggling sound of Malina. Shaking her head, she got up and start headed at the kitchen. The main house door still open, and she can smell smokes of cigarette. Isn't Marshall smoking too much? Curious about the amount of smokes produce she walks forward and her worried about Marshall eased a little. Marshall was smoking with Alex's two companions Edward and Robert at the porch. She exchanges a few words with them earlier this evening.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" Siti asking the gentlemen. The three men just nodded in unison. She decided just to stay outside with them since the night breeze is cool here.

Inside Malina's room...

"You just landed yourself on my hotel, with the highest land value in the board! " Malina squealed. "Hand over your money. Give me your thousands." She rubbed her hands together before extending her palm upwards.

Alex just raised his eyebrow before start counting his money. Suddenly Malina grabbed her right calf and groaning in pain. Losing her balance, she falls backward and her head hitting the headboard. This time she cries louder for double pain.

The four people outside misunderstanding the whole situation. Hearing the Malina scream in pain, the three guys including Marshall who enjoying smoking suddenly coughing their smoke with their ears getting redder and looking up at the ceiling. And poor Siti who sitting there accompanied those men have more trouble time, she didn't know where to hide her red face. Excuse herself, she went to the kitchen to make some coffee.

"What are you doing?" She asked warily when Alex getting closer.

Helping you relieve some pain. Your muscle is cramping, right?' Malina nodded with watering eyes.

"Then stop struggling. I just want to roll off some of your pants so I can massage the calf properly."

At the porch, Siti handed three mugs to Marshall, Robert, and Edward. But this awkward night not only happens to Malina and Alex but also extend four people in the house. The three men who sat facing each other, whom barely have a sip of coffee spit it out when they heard Malina screamed louder this time. Asking Alex to be more gentle. Siti can't stand the awkward tension anymore, this time excuse herself to get some air outside the house.
