Crazy Cousins

CINDY

THE hell! That man almost got me! I really thought I was going to die. That careless jerk drove too fast. With just one crouched in the middle of the road, he appeared like a ghost. I am really convinced his a daredevil. Definitely a daredevil.



And one more thing, the nerve of him to shout and persist that his car is even more expensive than my life? He didn't even ask me first if I'm okay but instead he asked me about his useless car. That jerk!



Then he shouted that I'm a trash, and he even include my best friend ?! Then, he called us UGLY?! Who? My best friend, ugly?! He must be blind! Besides, he should be careful including innocents in the fight because there are those people who don't get angry because of the insults they received but because of the insults that were pointed at their loved ones. Yes, never insult my best friend in front of me because I will not let anyone oppress my best friend. And besides, my best friend is even better than the women out there who just want to show off their bodies on the road. She's a conservative type but simple and beautiful.



Because of that, because I was furious and my vision was getting darker. I kicked his ... treasure and punched him very hard. But I didn't expect he will faint right away. Hahaha, weak! He's a big man but got knocked down by a woman? He's embarrassing!



When he fainted, that's when we left and went home. And as expected, Happy started preaching on our way home. Telling me that what I have done was wrong. I should just let that one slide and many more. Well, can't blame her, she's just worried.



We already arrived at our house but Happy is still preaching. Yes, we have our own house, we have been living together since I left home.



“What if your parents find out?” What she said made me silent.



I sat on the sofa in our living room. “As if they care about me,” I whispered.



I know Happy heard that so she went silent too.



My parents obviously don't care about me at all. It was already three years since I left home, but they didn't even visit or find out what my current situation is. Isn't that what parents should do? To show their so-called love? But my parents failed me on that. And now because they need something, they contact me like hell!



“I'm sorry, I think I mentioned something wrong,” she said.



“It's okay. It doesn't bother me at all. Do we still have food?” She went straight to the kitchen.



“There's more, I'll just heat it up,” she replied and I just nodded.



While she was heating the food, I got dressed in my room. After then, I went back in the loving room.



This is a small house. There is a small living room with TV, sofas and glass table. And there are two rooms, each one was occupied by us. It has a fairly large kitchen and a round table. There is a refrigerator, oven and stove. The comfort room is in the kitchen area.



This house was owned by my big brother, when he was still alive and Happy was the younger sister of my big brother's friend who also used to live here but also went abroad because of work and ... oh, well, love.



Happy returned to the living room. “It's done. Come and eat --- wait, I'll get dressed first.”



Happy was about to go to her room but suddenly, someone knocks on the door. Happy and I looked at each other. Both are thinking the same question.



Who is that?

Maybe just a disturbing neighbor.



I nodded to Happy, signaling that she should open the door, so she opened it. She opened the door widely, and I was in shock when I saw who was the one knocking. Out of shock, I got up from sitting on the sofa.



“Who are you?” Happy asked.



“Where's C ---” That someone didn't finish answering Happy's question because she already saw me standing near the sofa that was just in front of the door.



“Oh my gosh!” The other one ran towards me and hugged me, tightly.



I still can't get over with my shock. I was shocked when I saw the almost identical faces of the two. One has blonde hair and is taller than the other and the other are lower but thinner than the other. Why are they here?!



“I'm Mariana Bartlett and that's Marina. Obviously, we're twins and our cousin is that ugly lady.” Mariana then pointed at me and Marina took her hug away from me.



“Yeah, you're still ugly.” Then Marina laughed.



Tsk! They never change. They are still that annoying cousins.



“All right, come in.”

They both sat down because Happy said that too. Happy prepared a juice and cookies that I just bought when I got paid last week. Happy changed her cloths and went back to join us. We sat on the sofa in front of them.



“What is the purpose?” I asked them, coldly. Marina pouts because of my cold treatment. Well, what would I expect from an immature girl like her?



“Don't be like that. Can you ask something like, “My beloved cousins, what have brought you here?” Like that!” She said and actually acted so that I could understand.



“Why are you here?” I ignored what she just said. Do I care? Nah-ah.



“Like duh ~ Of course for you,” Mariana replied.



I gave them a make-face expression. Giving them a full read of what I am thinking right now.



Impossible.



“Listen guys, okay?” They both looked at each other. “I know I bullied you when we were young and you still got that vengeance feelings inside your heart that's why you're doing this but you know, we are no longer children. I will appreciate it if you go home now, so that your parents won't end up blaming me.”



“You're a big DUH!” Marina immediately replied. “You know what, we are not joking, and besides you're the one who's joking because of the word 'guys'. Hey! We're not guys, we're girls.”



“You're not joking? Then why are you here?”



“We already told you CEM (Cindy Ella Mae). We are here because we want to be with you!” Mariana was who answered.



“And how did you find this house?”



My question came like a lightning for them. Mariana suddenly stopped drinking juice so she almost spilled it. Meanwhile, Marina swallowed of a large portion of cookie she was eating and I think it got stuck in her throat causing her to cough several times.



“Well, didn't we call last month and you mentioned your address?” Mariana tried to lie but I'm not forgetful and I can still remember what we talked about last time and I did not mention any address.



“I didn't mention anything,” I corrected.



“No, Mariana is kind of forgetful. The truth is we got your new address on your Facebook so----” Marina intruded, but she was stunned when Mariana suddenly hit her in the head.



“No, what really happened was I went to the wishing well and I wished I could see Cem so ---- Ouch! What the?!” Now it was Marina who hit her.



“No, my answer is the right one!” Marina contradicts.



“No, my answer is the right one!” Marina also opposes.



I can't help but facepalm. Really now?



“From Finn?” I gave them the most possible answer. When they were both stunned, I just sighed.





“He-he,” Mariana said. “We nagged him that's why he can't help but gave it to us.”



“Yeah, he has no fault because ...” Marina suddenly pointed at me. “You are the one at fault because you told him! --- Ouch!”



Now, it's my fault? What the hell right? I can't help but hit her on the head.



“You better go home,” I said and stood up.



“Nah! We'll stay here,” they said in chorus.



I got stunned. “Say what?!”



“We. Will. Stay. Right. Here. Dad already knows, and they approved,” Mariana said then went outside and when she returned she was already dragging two BIG suitcases and when I say big, it is huge.



“We miss you, Cem. Please agree, hmm?” They both said while using an annoying puppy eyes. Damn! If I can only stab those eyes with a stick.
