Chapter 25:Family, the same word but has a different meaning (1/2)
Mario remembers his past, shadows in the past turn into pieces and chronicles events.
He had seen Alfa Widjaja bringing a woman in the middle of the night, a different woman every night.
Maybe for Alfa, one woman was never enough.
Mario or Sofia not only once caught sight of Alfa Widjaja's behavior, at that time they were still under ten years old.
Mario once saw Alfa having sex in the family room.
That night he and Sofia were working on their schoolwork. He felt thirsty and wanted to take a drink in the kitchen, he did not go to the kitchen because he heard a noise in the living room, he peeked behind the wall with a trembling body.
On the living room carpet, there Mario and Sofia do their schoolwork, where they sit and watch cartoons together, where they joke around and tell stories every night.
That night, the same carpet becomes the witness, there Alfa and a woman change their hot sex poses.
They enjoy each other's naked bodies, they make absurd poses in the head of ten-year-old Mario.
Mario is not Alfa's son, but Sofia...
One night, while Mario is still awake and doing Sofia's schoolwork.
He worked on the task with the door to his room that was not closed perfectly.
Mario again heard sighs, moans, whispers from the hall. Even though he heard it, he tried to ignore it, he had already seen what happened last night.
Sofia rubbed her eyes, she woke up that night.
That night the sound from the front room was indeed louder than usual.
”Mario, did you hear a strange sound?”
Mario removed the earphones from his ears, he shook his head in response to Sofia's question.
”I heard a strange sound from the front.”
At that time Mario already had a room, he had come out of the storage room behind the house.
Sofia was the one who nagged her father so that Mario could come into the house and have a room, She needed Mario to do her schoolwork.
Sofia stepped out of Mario's room.
”Sofia, where are you going?” Mario asked.
”I'm thirsty, I want to have a cold drink in the refrigerator,” Sofia answered. ”Are you thirsty?” She asked.
Mario shook his head.
Sofia was getting away, she has entered the family room, in this room, there was a home theater.
Sofia's lips smiled sarcastically, she could see the live show from here.
Sofia sat on the sofa casually.
Back there, Mario silently followed her. He was worried about Sofia.
Noticing Sofia's presence in the dark, watching his adult scene, Alfa hurriedly took his clothes.
Sofia picked up the tv remote. With a flat face, she watched television shows.
Alfa grabbed the woman's hand roughly, they picked up the clothes on the floor and left Sofia sitting on the sofa.
Sofia acted cool as if she was enjoying a television show with her face tense.
”Why are you in such a hurry. Just go on.” She said in a trembling tone
Alfa glanced briefly at her daughter, then he led his woman to his room. He slammed the bedroom door.
