The family was watching TV so he immediately went to shower. Then he started to edit the videos and photos as well as eat the food. While watching TV dramas laying down on the bed, they slowly went to sleep.
Early in the morning, they quickly set off toward their home while stopping at interesting places from time to time. Around 9 am, they finally arrived at the city and after some discussion and shopping, they decided to head toward their village home first. The way to his home was very easy for him as he can go there while closing his eyes. But the road was very bad up to there and there was no asphalt road. After driving for half an hour, they entered his village which he was very familiar with because he spend his childhood there. The village was around two kilometers wide but the dwelling was disorganized. In the center, there was a little bustling place and a group of houses here and there while most of the places were pretty thin with houses.
The SUV slowly moved toward the group of houses where his house was located. There were five buildings that were made up of concrete but most of the building was made up of timber, wood planks, metal sheet, play wood, bamboo, and mud. The SUV finally stopped in front of a poorly built house that was extremely small for a family of six. It was made up of timber, metal sheet, and bamboo. They carried the bags and quickly entered the house. As soon as they entered, the room ended because there were only three rooms. One was a kitchen with a purpose room, two were bedrooms for the family. He did not have a personal room and used to sleep with his mother and sisters.
After bringing all the things inside the house, they were arranging the things in the room. There was not enough place but the things they bought could be easily placed inside. While they were doing that nearby neighbor started to pop up on their door. They also welcomed them inside and started to chat with them.
"It looks like an expensive vehicle. Whose vehicle is it?", a middle age woman, Althea asked while smiling at his mother.
"That one. It's John's boss's vehicle. We just borrowed for a couple of days.", his mother lied as they scripted with a smile on her face.
"Oh! Is that so? By the way, where have you all been up to?", Althea questioned.
"One of our distance relatives invited all our family so we went there.", his mother replied.
"Is that so but why so many days?", Althea further interrogated.
"They did not let us go and requested us to stay so couldn't deny them. That's why it took more days.", his mother replied.
"Your distance relative must be rich then.", Another middle age woman, Bernila asked while showing her teeth.
"Yes. They are richer than us but not that much.", his mother said nonchalantly.
They kept asking questions and she kept answering them. They were served some cold drinks too at the same time. While his mother was having a conversation, other people in the family were busy on their own. John also finished his work and lay on the bed while remembering the old memories. In this small house, he grew up and spend his most happy memories while playing around so it was special for him. But this house was actually mortgaged for some money and they were in pitiful condition. Now he had the money so he knew what had to be done. He suddenly got up and wore his old cloth which looked alright.
"Big Sis, should we settle the thing that we did talk about?", he asked while carrying a backpack.
"Do you want to do it now?", his big sister got surprised and asked.
"Why not? Or do you have things to do?", he asked after thinking about it.
"It doesn't matter. Let's do it.", after thinking about it, she got excited and said.
"Alright then. Let's go.", he nodded and quickly informed his family. They already knew what they are up to so there was no problem. The duo stepped out of the house and started to walk toward the place. They greeted the people who they were in close contact with.
"What's up with your clothes?", his big sister asked while looking at his old clothes.
"What's wrong with it? I look alright to me.", he smiled and said.
"So you want to pretend that you have no money?", she asked after some thought.
"I'm not. I'm still a poor person.", he said and grinned.
"Yeah, right.", she grunted.
"Whatever.", he shrugged.
"Are we going to settle all of our loans today?", she asked while looking at his face.
"Yeah. Sure if you want to.", he replied while patting the bag.
