Chapter 11 Hunger

I went back down to the living room. I can feel the emptiness in this big house. 
I take a look at outside, maybe they were all hanging out and relaxing there. 
But as soon I wanted to turn the doorknob, the door is open from the outside. A glimpse of my family members stands in front of the door. They seems happy while talking with each other.
"Mom, where are you from?" I ask. 
They gasped when they saw me in front of them. Then act normal and enter the house.
“Wow! It's finish. Oh my god. It's really beautiful! This is like a dream come true.”
Mom smiles and headed to the new cream-colored sofa that I've painted earlier . She then sit on it while squeezing the surface of the sofa.
"Hmmmmm.. How amazing this feel like. This is rich people always feels like. Oh Wow. I've become rich!”
She's chuckles to herself. 
But nobody answer my question earlier. Dad help Arifi's to enter the house and help him seat on the couch.
He then standing and looking at the interior of his new home. He looks excited. 
Seeing everyone busy enjoying the beauty of their home, I let my question hang there. Since nobody bother to answer.
Suddenly I'm feeling hungry. I pressing my stomach and heading to the kitchen to look out if there's any food that I can eat.
The kitchen looks empty. Like it's really untouched. I look at the table, maybe got anything can be eat right now. But sadly, there's nothing. 
I rushes towards the refrigerator. It's likely a new refrigerator that still empty, nothing in there too. There is not a single cooked item in the refrigerator. 
I returned to the living room and see my family members watching a reality show on television.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
All eyes were on me then not a minute they turning back to the television screen.
"Try to to find anything that can be eaten in the refrigerator." Mom's suggest.
"I already checked. There's nothing inside there."
"Oh forgot. I already threw out all of the items from our old refrigerator." She's added.
"What about you guys? Don't you guys hungry?" I ask
"It's okay. We've all ate outside earlier."
Mom's answers even though her eyes were still locked in front of the television screen. I'm shocks when she's said all of them already eating outside without me.
"There is nothing that can be eaten in kitchen. But why didn't you call me when you'll wanted to eat out?"I kind like sulking.
"We don't want to disturb you working. So we went straight out." Kak Intan answer.
"But now, I'm hungry."
"Hey, please lower your voice. Don't interrupt me when I'm watching television. It's noisy." Mom's looking furious.
"You have a magic brush, why don't you just making your own food. I'll bet It's even tastier than what we ate earlier." Mom's added.
I am stuns by what she's had just said. I didn't know what I am feeling now. I can feel my chest hurts. 
But I just stay silent because I can't be rude to my families. 
In fact, being rude to own mother is the biggest sins. I still remember what my teacher has told me at school.
"Heaven is under the soles of your mother's feet. Once you hurt your Mom's heart, you'll never get the scent of heaven. Remember, all my students."
The voice echoed in my head. I need to hold firmly this principle, not to hurt the hearts of family even though I was often hurt. 
I walk away from them and going upstairs. I'm headed to my room that I chose at the end of the hallway on first floor. I open the door and looking at the interior. I'm still having finish unpacking all my stuff in this room. But I stops thinking about it because I'm really exhausted.
I'm leaning my back on the bed. I am greatful that I have a large space to myself. Before, my room was just a small store full of worn out and unused items. But now my room is bigger than the my old house living room.
"Even though I'm living in this big room, but it can feel my guilty and emptiness in my heart." 
I'm lying in this queen bed size, it's too much space for me. It is so big that I feels like it can fit 8 children of the same age on the bed. 
I'm turning my body to the side and watching the brush that I put on the small table next to the bed. I then take it hold it on my hand. Every detail is scrutinized.
"Why am I destined to have this magical brush?"
I then to hugging the brush until I fell asleep on an empty stomach.
