To : You
You never chat me first and only call me when mom asks you to. Never saying "i miss you" or other sweet words even when i'm far away from home.
When we met, we almost spent our time to argue each other , mostly about insignificant things. We often fought when there was only one cake left. Mom asked us to divide it into two pieces, we would divide it with the most accurate knife we had to make sure we made them equal in size. But, it hadn't ended, one of us would think a piece was little bigger (even only in some mm) and wanted to take that piece. Sure, another of us would complain. Dividing a cake into two pieces always spends a long time and will only stop if mom asks to.
You always call me by my name although you are three and half years younger. Your reason? i am 25 cm shorter than you. I wish medical technology could find a safe way to make adult taller. Our parents' friends often misunderstood, they thought that you were older than me. There would be loud laugh from your annoying mouth when they had left. You know, It means i look younger !!! When we go to the mall with mom n dad ( i never hang out with you) , you always walk at least two meters in front or two meters behind me. You are too unsecured if someone will think we're a couple. Mom has said many times it's impossible because our faces are alike. Of course, both of us are totally disagree.
Me : mom, i am pretty but he is ugly
You : i am handsome and tall. She is very very short and ugly.
After arriving at home from going shopping, you never forget to check what i bought.
You : you spent money wastefully
Me. : it's my own money , none of your business
You : You got it from mom, it's ours.
Me : The dress looks great and i bought it because it was 70% discount.
You : No, you have very bad taste in fashion and it's still very expensive (even the dress is only 100.000 , Oh for God's sake i don't want to have a boy friend like you
Me : At least it's better and cheaper than your motorcycle's muffler
You : Yep, it's cheaper but you buy dress every month and i only buy the muffler once
Me : Not every month!!
Until mom screamed ,
"Rin, rand, it's already evening, one of you please takes shower soon"
Me : You first, i am still reading this newspaper
You :No, you first, you can read it later
Me : No, youuu
You : I am still sweating
No one took shower.
30 minutes later,
Mom : hey, both of you haven't take shower yet
Me : okay i'll take shower soon
You : No, i am first (we are afraid if mom will get angry, so now both of us want to take shower first)
Me : You asked me 30 minutes ago to take shower first ( run into the bathroom soon)
You : Knock the bathroom's door, you're very sly !
Actually there are three functional bathrooms in our home, but we only like to use one bathroom. It's one of frequent topics ( since we have many) to argue about.
In fact, i am not your older sister, we are almost in the same age. You never follow my instruction or believe on me like other younger brothers usually do. Actually you should obey the older person. But you almost always debate me except in the school subject. You will instantly change to be a very kind younger brother so i will teach you. But, it's only in a very short moment.
When i am home, you like to visit my PERSONAL room, lie down in my wonderful bed and read my book collection. Hey, you can bring my book and read in your own room. I have said it again and again to you but you always prefer to read it in my room. You also said, when i am not in home, you like to read my elementary school diary then laugh for a long time (read: like crazy person). Don't you think you always disturb my privacy?
This talk happens frequently

This talk happens frequently
You : Hey, you don't have boyfriend, do you?
Me : no,i don't, why?
You : I am afraid no man has liked you
Me : Many men like me ( actually in fact, only some)
You : I am not sure, you are short and ugly
Me. : Hhhhh, at least i am smarter than you
You : Oh man, you are already 20 years old, and never have boyfriend in your life. Poor you!
Me : heyy, you are also single, so you can't mock at me
You : i am single because i choose to be
Me. : No girl wants to be your boy friend. You are fat and ugly like the white elephant
You : Who says? I can have girl friend NOW if i want to
Me : You always boast!
I totally agree that most of men are OVERCONFIDENT
BUT
As we grow up, we fight less often but sure we still do. Sometimes i get angry at you or you do. But it never happens more than 30 minutes, generally only in some few minutes. It's because one of us will ask sorry soon.
Although owe are in very different society now, both of us are still the same like many years ago . I always have quality time with you when i am at home, never think about what we talk about. We just do then not realizing we have spent hours. Sometimes, there's moment when i am just very tired or lazy to talk with you, but you always stay in my personal room and can't stop talking to me. So , finally we have a talk.
Anyway, we have the same problem about our stomach.
At 10.00 AM
Me : Hey, have we already had food to eat for lunch?
Him : not yet , you are already hungry , aren't you? Hahahaha
Me : I'm just asking, you must be hungry
Him : i heard about the new opening bali waroeng near to MR Y house, do you want to try it?
Me : Yeahh, It's a good idea
We : Dad, let's buy food for lunch
Dad : Hey , it's still morning, both of you must work first (our dad still loves kidding at his age)
(FYI, we have our breakfast around 07.30)
We. : but we are very hungry right now. We can't think anything..
Me. : my brain is lack of glucose now
Him : I can hear sound of my stomach
Dad : (take a glass of water) , drink it, you both will lose your hunger
We : (Drink water)
After 10 minutes
We. : We get very hungry
Dad : Kalian berdua memang asli perut karung
We : (laugh together)
Then we will have our lunch together, he doesn't want to have lunch alone.
When mom and day have some event to go out, i stay at home with him. Both of us don't have enough courage to stay at home alone for a long time, so mom and dad will leave both of us at home. When i want to go to the event ( yes, i am far more extrovert than you) , you will persuade me with many ways so i cancel my willingness to go.
We often spend our time to cook together. you and I have only three similarities, love eating, love a dog and love gossiping. I think people who really love eating and get hungry easily will love cooking too. We like to try a new recipe, find the one in the internet then modify it or we just create ours. But we still argue when we cook , the problem is the amount of seasonings. Another one is who cook and who must cut the vegetables. Both of us prefer to be the leader, the one who process and mix the spices. Overall, our creations are delicious. We will give some left to be tried when our parents come home.
We : try it dad, we made a new creation.
Dad : okay soon after i change clothes
We. : No, you must try it first.
Dad : (try it) ohh it tastes delicious
Me. : Yep, i cooked
Him : No, irin only cut the vegetable, i cooked
Me : No , i also mixed the seasoning
Because we often make creation by our self, or follow new recipe but we don't have complete ingredient, sometimes we get failed, it's not delicious. We'll give them to our dog (hahahhaha) and make another food from beginning. But, the leader must be changed. After cooking, we always wash the cooking stuff, sweep, and swab the floor . Actually, mom prefers to buy foods if she is too busy to cook for us ( we don't stay in the big city, we're easy to get bored with kinds of food that are sold here) . So, we must make everything clean and tidy after cooking to make sure mom will permit us to cook again in another day. We always do it together after cooking :)
Our dad really love his children, actually he wanted to have 4 children. My brother ( when he was still about 5 years) always pray everyday to have a younger brother or sister. Some years later, mom was being pregnant, but unfortunately, she got bleeding in the first trisemester :(
One day when i was in junior high school, dad said to us about his plan to adopt a child. Do you still remember that? And mom has already agreed. Both of us totally disagree before thinking first . Yes, nothing need to be considered. First, we didn't want to share our parents affection to anybody else. We were just over worried that our parents would love him more. I know we were very selfish at that time. We even couldn't imagine it. Second, the more important one, i don't want to have another brother or sister. I didn't care whether he is nicer, sweeter, or better than you. I still didn't want. Since mom had gotten bleeding from her pregnancy few years ago, i wrote cleary in my mind , i only had one sibling in my life and it's you.
Although you didn't say your second reason directly to me, but i knew we had same thought. Why? Because i am your sister. I also know you miss me when i am far away from home, but you just don't want to say it first (Honestly, neither do i).
TODAY IS YOUR DAY
16 October 2014
Happy seventeenth birthday, Randy.
You aren't a kid anymore, so don't act as silly boy. Please be more mature , and act like your ages. You know that the world outside is more challenging and we never know what the future will be. You should learn many things. Read as many books as you can. Go outside from your comfort zone, since it's the only way you can understand the real life.
Overall, I wish you all the best. Anyway, I want to ask you a thing, yes i want you to be more mature, but if you are just with me, will you stay the same ?I will be your 15 years old sister and you will be my 12 years old brother forever.
Have a great year ahead !!!
I hate you (as always)
Your the only one sibling,
