Chp 2 : My Happy Family

We enter the house with happy heart. Dad put butter lollipops that he and Elly bought on the table at living room included toys. I love the time when all my family gathering and spend time together. My mom put me on the dining chair as we are about to have lunch together. Everyone have sit and waiting patiently for mom and Elly arrange the table with luxurious food. There are buttermilk chicken, fish n chip and rice!! obviously our main food. Then, mom started the conversation.

"my dear, when will you start your next shift?"

"maybe tomorrow"

"tomorrow!!?? why?? you usually have night shift what wrong today?"

"hahahaha!!! thats I want to tell right now!!.."

Everyone being dumbfounded and look at each other while wonder whats the new that dad wants to say.

"today.... I'm getting a promotion!!!!!!"

Mom and Elly celebrate by clapping their hands and cheer dad.

"*congratulation my dear"

" CON... GRA... TU... LA... TION...... YEAHHHH*!!!", she shouts again. Mehh...

Usually, we have trouble in communication with members especially during lunch actually we rarely lunch like this only for certain important occasion. When Elly return back from her school around this time, she just quiets and walks straightly to her room. Similar with daddy, he just talk a word and change his outfit for next shift without having any meal. Actually this is the first time seeing my family having a lot of fun during lunch. Seem like today we are granted by many luck.

" I got a title as police officer and my salary increase by 10% than before... we gonna change our life... we will renovate our house... we will buy more furniture... you guys gonna have new clothes... and we will go to trip!!!" , father express his feeling regarding his promotion.

From his speech, he looks desperate to earn money. I don't know how to tell this, through his eyes seem a fire has burn his passion. He become energetic and excited so much. Once he was young, he become orphan at young age around Ellys. He been taking care by grandpa. As he want to repay back grandpa's sacrifice, he finds many part-times job and misses his school. When adult time for him has come, he try his luck at many department but fails. At last, a sudden one piece of letter had arrived at his home, the job offer from police department. He really grateful so much and work harder beyond his ability but unfortunately, his co-workers seem never gave him chance to get credit, that why he always bad mood when he get back from his work. Actually, I'm regret for stamp dad as lazy man, I'm sorry dad.

Atmosphere now like an awkward moment after dad's speech just now.

"yes, thats for sure dear, even right now we also happy right?"

Dad nods and smile a little.

"okeys what a great new from dad so let me continue this enjoyment with thisss!!" showing a piece of paper and gives out to mom.

"*oh my god, Elly you did a great job"

"you got an A for math!! that ridiculous plus amazing*", dad shoves next to mom.

Curiosity really kill me now. I want to know what is that blank paper at the back.

"what is that?"

"this is your sis's final exam result, she got extremely high score in every subjects".

Oh! I nearly forgot, my sister will become a teen next year as she will go to high school by the early of January. Yes! she totally perfect in everything not only gorgeous but smart plus friendly plus caring plus loving plus EVERYTHING... thinking of that made me jealous sometimes but it never change fact that she is my only sister and I'm not regret for having her in my life.

"Amy! you should take me as your main idol, copy my trait, personality and ... appearance?? pfftt", laugh with mouth open.

(oh gosh she tease me again)

I make an annoying face to her

"aww.. I just kidding don't be like that... meow.. meow.." , she pinchs my cheek and mimicking cat sound.

(That cute, hehehe. She know to comfort me like mom) and I begin to smile and laugh back.

Everyone seem to please when I'm start laughing, maybe because I'm cute. As I mention word cute thats not mean I'm fat. I really cute in every aspects and I bet no one would escape from my cuteness aura.

"let's not waste time, can Elly scoops me two cups of rice?" , dad asks.

Then, we enjoying lunch with happy stomach.

Our family's life totally great right now. I always pray and hopes that our happiness will last long while we create strong bond among family member. I love my family so much... but I had negative feeling about this... What is that mean..??
