"Andy!"

"Hey."

As expected from a rich family, this extravagant car and a personal driver.

"So, where's Yulia's house?"

"...I don't know."

"Eh?! I thought that you know."

I shook my head dejectedly.

How can we forget to ask her!

"Young Master, Do you at least have a clue? Maybe I can look it up."

The driver suddenly asked Micheal but instead of answering the driver, Micheal turned and look at me.

'Don't look at me, I don't know anything at all.' is what I want to say but I tried to at least remember something from my past life.

Searching for any information I have in my head the only thing I recalled is the news where Yulia got interviewed when she returned to Balai.

If I'm not wrong, it should be around that area.

But even so, I know that it's around that area there are too many houses, there's no way we could knock on every house just to confirm it.

Top...

"The store's name, it's called something-Top, around the area of Baran and Kolong."

"I see, if that so, I know where is it."

Soon we arrived at the place. It's a store called 'TipTop'.

There's no sign of Yulia at all and it's all based on my old memories.

Hitting the doorbell button, we then wait for someone to open the door.

After a minute, there's the sound of footsteps coming.

Clank*

A beautiful young woman opened the metallic shutter gate greeting us with a smile, upon we saw the woman we knew that we're correct.

The person in front of me resembled Yulia.

But who is this? This person definitely not Yulia's mother.

I've seen Yulia's mother before. She's not this tall.

"Both of you must be Yulia's friend, she was worried that you guys might not come. Please come inside and sit."

I have a bad feeling about this. Micheal, wait, don't say anything yet.

As I about to stop Micheal but it was too late.

"Auntie! Happy New Y-!"

I instantly covered Micheal's mouth.

"Um, Sister. He didn't mean to say that, he didn't know that Yulia has a Big Sister."

"Eh? Big Sister?"

Micheal was shocked when he heard that.

Right, how could I forget about that?

Or else who would watch the store when Yulia's mother was away to pick Yulia at school.

I've never seen or heard that Yulia has a sister before, not even in my past life, but seeing her in front of our eyes, I've made my own conclusion.

Right now, she must be angry, hearing that she was called Auntie, her eyes twitching and the gentle smile was gone.

Sensing the animosity from Yulia's big sister, we quickly bowed and apologize. She must be very hurt to be called Auntie at such a young age.

"Please. come. inside."

Gulped*

We messed up.

We carefully took off our shoes at the entrance and put them neatly on the shoe rack.

Following, Yulia's big sister, we walked inside, surrounded by giant shelves with a bunch of pipes, metals, screws, and more stuff.

As we walked inside, we arrived in a totally different room, judging from room appearance, this place was a kitchen but what's with the pipe and metals all over the place?

"This "Auntie" will prepare delicious drinks and foods, both of you should head upstairs first. Okay?"

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Emphasizing the word Auntie loudly, Yulia's sister gave us a murderous glare. This shows how pissed she was to be called 'auntie'.

Without questioning anything, we quickly climbed up the stairs, we then arrived in the living room.

There, we finally can see Yulia's Mother standing on the side as though she was waitting for us to arrive.

"Welcome~"

Now that I see Yulia's mother up close, I notice a huge difference between Yulia's mother and big sister. It's body proportion.

For some reason, Yulia's mother has a larger curve on the chest.

While I said that, their appearance still resemble each other like sisters.

Ehem.

Let's stop talking about that.

"Come here and sit."

Yulia's mother waved her hand, wanting us to come over but Micheal whispered to me first before he said anything.

'This is Yulia's mother, right?'

I nodded my head slightly, signaling that this time he's correct.

This is definitely Yulia's mother.

"Auntie, Happy New Year!" (In Mandarin)

When Micheal blurted out those words, the atmosphere around us suddenly turns cold.

This one is scarier than the previous sister.

"Ah, that is my big sister, my mother is sleeping in her bedroom, she's sick."

Yulia who was sitting on the sofa the entire time, nonchalantly correct Micheal's mistake.

Micheal became petrified when he heard what Yulia said. He then looked at me while sobbing,

'You said that this time it's Yulia's mother!'

I looked away, avoiding Micheal's crying expression, pretending that I wasn't involved in his mess.

"Please, don't stand there. Come here and sit."

Another murderous gaze but this one is directed to Micheal only. Even so, it's still uncomfortable for me as I was sitting right beside Micheal.

Not long later another one came and join the fray.

Now there's two lioness glaring at us.

We didn't dare to move our bodies at all. Not with, two lionesses glaring at our way.

Yulia was confused, seeing the current scene. She understood why his second sister was mad but why is her first sister was mad too?

Then another woman came out of a room. This woman, again, has a look of almost the same with Yulia's big sisters, but her complexion was pale.

"Oh my~ Both of you must be Yulia's friend."

The woman smiled as she was holding two red packages on her hand.

To fix his mistake, Micheal then quickly stood up from his seat and then greet the woman but this time a bit differently.

"Sister, Happy new year!"

"Oh, you flatter me, I'm Yulia's mother. you should call me Auntie."

'No thanks... from this moment I'll everyone sister just to be polite.'

At least this time, Micheal made a powerful ally. Yulia's mother was pleased when she was called Sister by Micheal.

"This is for you, May your studies improve."

After she gave Micheal the red package and said her wish, she then gave it to me too.

"This is for you, May your studies improve too."

After, Yulia's mother did her job as an adult, giving the red packages to us. She then went back to the bedroom to rest.

"Both of you should treat our guests politely."

When Yulia's mother left, the atmosphere got heavy again.

"Feel free, to take the cookies in the jar."

"I've prepared some drinks too, feel free to drink them."

Grrr...

"Um, Big sister, Second sister. Please don't be mad anymore, they didn't mean it."

Yulia tried to calm her sisters down and fortunately, it worked a little.

"Humph, Did you tell that boy that you have big sisters?"

She was talking about me.

"No, I don't think so."

"Humph, at least this boy knows that I'm your sister when he saw me."

I have to thank my keen eye.

"Now that your friends are here, why not tell them your plan."

"Huh? It's both of you that want to play."

"You. You are staying back to play with big sis right?"

Nod* Nod*

Without slight hesitation, Micheal nodded his head even though he didn't know what they'll be playing.

"We'll play. We'll play."

On the other hand, while Micheal was being threatened, I was persuaded with a gentle smile.

No other choice, both of us agreed to stay even though after this we're supposed to visit my Micheal's house and then lastly my house.

"Okay~"

"I think both of you heard or played this before. We're going to play Monopoly!"

"Ta da~"

While the second sister is assembling and arranging the monopoly board.

the First Sister who was sitting on the floor, suddenly she called me over for some reason, asking me to sit with her.

"Come here!"

"Um, I'm fine sitting here."

"No, this big sister must reward you for noticing it, unlike the other one."

She then forcefully pulled me over. I'm forced to sit on top of her legs as her two soft mountain, pressing against my head.

"How is it, it's nice sitting with big sister right?"

'You'll be reminiscing this moment when you finally become an adult.'

...

Calm down... I'm a kid!

How did it become like this?

As I try to calm myself by drinking the glass of coke that was prepared. I felt a glare from Yulia.

She must have noticed that I was flustered.

"Hehe, Why are you looking at him like that, I'm the one that pulled him over, don't blame him."

Big sister... Don't say anything weird, please...

"Don't care."

Yulia was still sitting on the sofa, reading her books, she has no intention to join us at all.

"Yo~ I'm done, choose a color. I'm red!"

The second Sister, she finally finished arranging everything properly.

"Yulia, you're not playing?"

She really doesn't have to study that hard. I bet that even without studying from today onward he still could surpass Kervin already.

After all, I've helped her.

With me clearing her doubts and answering all of her questions, her study is much smoother than before.

"I'll just be the bank and watch you guys play. I'm not good at this kind of game."

Micheal who was quiet the entire time, finally speaks up.

"You should play! I'll be the bank instead."

Micheal looked at Yulia, begging her to change position with him, he really didn't want to play with two predators preying at him.

Seeing the pitiful Micheal, Yulia out of kindness, agreed to join us and play.

"Just this once."

...

...

The first game was Big Sister's win, she got very lucky and secured most of the expensive place.

As for the second game, it was the Second Sister's win. Three of us really got unlucky as we kept enter jail.

The third game was my win, I honestly got lucky on this one too, they constantly stepped on my hotel and was forced to keep paying money.

As Yulia said, she's bad at this game or should I say very unlucky. She always the first one to go bankrupt, it was as though our hotel found its way to Yulia.

Anyway, after the third game, we have stayed for quite long already.

We decided to go back and rest as we can't just keep staying here and eat their new year's cookies to fill our stomach.

"Feel free to visit us even though it's not a holiday!"

"We will!"

If we have time. Though I doubt Micheal will follow.

'Old Women are scary...'

"So, are we still going to me and your house?"

"Yeah but let's just continue tomorrow."

Micheal gloomily laid his head on my shoulder as his soul is drained out.

"See you tomorrow."

I hope that he recovers from his current state because tomorrow we'll have to visit them again to fetch Yulia.

Arriving home, it felt great as I'm free from Yulia's big sisters but then realized that I need to spend my time either watching Chinese Drama with Mervin and Father.

There's still time until the day is over.

If only there's a good movie to watch...
