- Michael Romano
Michael woke up from his sleep, his eyes looking at the worn out clock hanging on the wall, the clock was showing at half six in the morning.
He then got up from the sofa that had been his bed. Because the room in this apartment only had one so he had to sleep in the living room.
Michael then stretched his muscles that felt stiff, his body was still painful even though it had been 3 days since the son of a bitch lucas beat him all out. His stomach feels like a cramp, but the medicine given by the doctor yesterday quite alleviates the pain.
“Michael are you awake?” Maria asked with a slight shout from inside the room.
Michael then walked up to his mother who was still in the room, he stood leaning at the door while looking at his mother who was tidying up her work clothes in front of a mirror. His gaze then turned to his sleeping sister.
he looks like an angel Michael thought to himself.
“what father has left bu?”
“just about 10 minutes ago, mom also want to leave you take care of isabela and clean up the house ya” said maria while walking towards the front door.
“oh almost I forgot, Michael please later shopping for cooking ingredients in front, the ingredients have been written on paper, his paper mom put on the table, the money is in the drawer room”
“good ma'am, heart in the way” Michael replied while nodding, after which maria went to her workplace.
After his mother left Michael began doing homework, he began to sweep his work floor starting from his parents' room, he tried to sweep as little as possible so as not to disturb the sleep of his little sister, his little brother, sleep, but when he was cleaning the dust dirt under his head bed sucked the iron skeleton, which made Isabela wake up from her sleep.
”good morning isabela” greet Michael while rubbing his diseased head.
“loh brother why?”
“nothing, sister Just being sorted out aja”
"Beles? May I help you" With the spirit of Isabella standing on her bed.
Michael always felt anxious because his sister could not call the letter R, wanted it to feel like he pinched the cheek of his cute sister.
"May but wash your face first, yes,"
"Good sister" Isabela then jumped off the bed and ran for the bathroom,
"Don't jump in and fall out" Tegur Michael said.
It didn't take long for Isabela to return from the bathroom with her face still wet. Michael then sighed seeing that. He walked to the bathroom to get a towel.
"Your face is still wet, on the same lap towel" Michael said as he wiped his sister's face.
Isabela put on a pouting face "Um yes yes" She then grabbed the towel from her brother's hand and wiped her own face. When he finished, he returned the towel back to the bathroom. Isabella then approached her brother who was sweeping in the kitchen.
"So what am I fine doing, brother?" Ask isabella.
Michael seemed to think for a moment, thinking about what work should his sister do? , of course, it should be a simple and easy job, his black eyes looking at the bell hanging on the wall.
"You clean up the dusty stuff, yes, this is wearing this" Michael said as he picked up the duster and handed it to his sister. Isabela nodded in understanding.
The little girl immediately did what her brother told her to do, she cleaned things that could be reached by her tiny hands. After seeing his sister work unhindered Michael returned to continue his work.
Mopping, wiping glass, washing dishes, washing clothes everything was done michael in a short time, and now he is on top of the attic to dry clothes.
Michael hung clothes at the end of the attic, while waiting for his brother, isabela saw the busy city from the edge of the attic which was installed two meters high security wire, isabela, his little sister clasped the wire quite firmly regardless of what he was thinking.
After drying Michael's clothes then invited his sister to go back down to the apartment, and clean the bathroom.
After all the housework he had done, he bathed Isabella before himself. Which takes 15 minutes. Michael read a paper order from his mother, names of kitchen spices such as onions, cilantro peppers written on the paper, as well as half a kilo of citrus fruit.
After that he looked into the closet drawer in the room, the shopping money was separated there he then took two one-dollar bills and put them in his pants pocket.
"Isabela sister wants to shop, what do you want to go with diem at home?" Michael asked his sister.
Isabella's eyes flashed with light, she quickly ran towards her brother "Follow!!!" Reply to his sister with great enthusiasm.
"Jude, put on your shoes first"
Michael then put his shoes on his little sister's feet. After that they left for the market which was a few blocks from the apartment.
He led his sister Isabella along the way, her sister was very carefree, her eyes staring enthusiastically at the crowd of the city.
A few minutes walk finally the two brothers had reached their destination.
The market, a place that is quite messy many street vendors peddling their wares on wooden tables, although the muddy streets and dirty environment though does not erode the crowds in this place, after all, it is only in this traditional market that people can get a cheap price.
Without wasting any time Michael immediately bought the items written in the paper, the boy searched from merchant to merchant while clasping his sister's hand tightly, holding her, however, she was afraid that Isabella would get lost in the crowd.
About an hour had passed, now Michael was at the fruit seller.
"Buy Orange one and a half kilos" said Michael who responded to the nod by the merchant, the merchant took a paper package he put the orange indicated by michael into the package to amount to six pieces. After that the merchant folded the top of the package and handed it to michael, he then paid the nominal in the request of the merchant.
"Can't I take the jellies?" Ask isabella.
Michael smiled then said "May, hold tight lest it fall" while handing the orange packet in his hand to his sister, isabella then received the parcel and carried it in a manner embraced by her two hands.
"Where are we going, brother?"
"Shortly" Reply Michael while looking at the paper, to make sure the items written have been bought. After making sure everything was bought, he then put the paper into the pocket of his coat.
"We're home" he said. Who was nodding vigorously by his sister.
On the way to the apartment, Michael saw two people with unfriendly auras, black fedora hats covering the faces of the two men.
The two men went into a bakery, although faintly heard the sound of broken glass and other commotion, it made Michael feel anxious, his right hand holding his sister's shoulder, making her sister walk faster to compensate for her brother's footsteps made Isabela confused.
"What's up, brother?"
"So don't you want to hurry home do you want to hear the continuation of the story of witch oz?"
Isabela nodded vigorously "of course"
Along the way Michael tells the story of the oz witch he remembers, the oz witch or The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's novel written by Lyman Frank Baum in 1900
The story of Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz colors the two brothers' journey to their residence.
