Chapter 13 Pleasing

I have manage to pass the crowds and now I am standing infront of the house. Mom's who standing at the balcony surprise by my appearance, which a bit ragged and I am only wearing one shoe.
"Wow, the family is rich, but look at her son. Pity her son who only wears one shoe. Hahaha." One of the villagers say once seeing me in that conditions.
Mom looks worrisome at my poor condition. She then grinning at all the villagers.
"Oh my son, Aidan. Look at you. How pity of you. Torn shoes? It's okay, Mom will buy 10 pairs of designer shoes for you later. Come inside, my dear."
Her voice is different than usual. She's never used this sweet voice when talked to me. My mom's behavior is not normal. She's never treated me this way.
I'm going inside the house. Once I close my door, all the chaotic outside dissapear from my ears. Now I can calm down.
"Hey you kid. How dare you!!"
I'm shocks when suddenly Mom's pinching my ear and cause me to complain of pain.
"Mom...Mom.... It hurts!"
"You are embarrassing me. With an appearance like a poor and homeless. You know everyone has praised our rich family. But with your appearance, this is really shameful."
Mom's release the pinch from my ear. I have to rubbing quickly my ears to make the pain away. I look at my mom who was peeking outside the house from behind the curtains at glass of the door.
"Mom, is it true that you want to buy me new pair of shoes? I wanted a new shoe."
Mom's look at me and snickers.
"That's not going to happen. You can draw your own new shoes right? I didn't have any money.” She's continue to take a peek behind the curtains.
"But the clothes you're wearing must be expensive. I never saw you wearing this." 
Mom looked at her clothes and continue to smile proudly. She's poses showing her clothes.
"It's definitely expensive. It's RM400 and I already used up all my savings to buy this beautiful and expensive clothes. Now people can say it's not just the house is beautiful, but the people's who living in it are also beautiful."
"But.. Can't you buy me new school shoes?"
Mom looks mad at me. Before my mom's finger landed on my ear again, I run up to my room. I rushing climbing the stairs.
Before reaching my room, I look at my brother's room. It is slightly open. I took a peek at the gap and I am surprise to see that my brother is smoking a cigarette with his friend in his room. The smells stinks my nose. It's really stinks than a normal cigarettes that I always smelled outside.
As far as I know, Arifi never smokes before. Or maybe he does because I never see him smoking inside the house. 
I running back downstair to find mom. I have to tell mom's about this. But once I reach the stairs to going down, suddenly I bumping into someone who was climbing the stairs. 
As a result of my small body and the person that I hit is quite large, I fell a long way from there.
"Oops sorry, bro."
My head sparkled due to I fell hard. I open my eyes and surprise to see a man that I didn't know standing in front of me. He help me to stands.
"Who are you? What are doing inside my house?" I ask him. He just smile at me.
Before he could answer, I suddenly hear the voice of someone I knew. It's Intan's voice calling someone name from her room.
"Rasydan. Come here. This is my room.”
The man smiling and left me who is dazing there. He then walk to Intan's room without any shame. 
My eyes wides when I saw it. I quickly run down the stairs. Mom who now sitting on the new sofa flipping through a phone that I'm not sure who it belongs to. Because as far as I know, my mom did not own a mobile phone.
"Mom..Mom!!"
My mom ignoring me. She's busy when her phones on her hands. I run towards her. My chest waving hard.
"Mom..Mom... Intan's and Arifi's...."I didn't even have time to finish my sentence, suddenly Mom's cut me off.
"What are you doing? Leave them both alone. Go take showers because you stinks my nose."
I'm sighing on why my mom's. She's never wants to listen to me. I don't know why does my mom's never scolded them. Never once I saw she's doing that to them. Although it is obvious that they are doing strange things in this house.
"But. But.. them."
She's glare at me. I stuns and running away from her.
