BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

80. Arguing With Elsa

Two teenage girls younger than me were waiting in the living room. Elsa and Qiya. Elsa is the son of Aunt Wira's previous marriage, her age is one year behind me, while Qiya's biological son papa and Aunt Wira.

I didn't think they would come to our house. There was no previous news from papa or Aunt Wira. But their arrival was enough to make me uncomfortable. Because I'm still upset by what my dad and his new wife did to my mom and Ken quietly behind my back.

"Non't you know?" I asked, forcing a smile. Maybe because I felt uncomfortable because from the beginning, Elsa kept questioning Ken's whereabouts.

"Bunda said, most sister Rara is at home" replied Qiya who was still sitting on the bench of Junior High School.

"Oh, I see." I nodded my head.

"Ken isn't going down, brother?" asked Elsa, while continuing to glance inside.

"For work, don't come out. Indeed why?" my many.

"That, mother tell me nanyain, the vacancy is not there yet?" he asked lightly.

"Nothing" I replied. "If anything, it's usually announced on the website. You just look at it."

"Oh my brother, why have an insider if you have to rely on tests." he chuckled, making me even more upset.

"If in the company mas Ken, there is no such thing as a special line. Going in there has to be a test. Just like me." I said.

"Sir Rara will go in there before she knows Ken."

"His other brother was also on the all-test."

"I know, you've told me." she replied.

"What else does Aunt Wira tell you?" I was curious, actually hoping he would bring up what Papa had asked Ken.

"Yes a lot. One of them is about his cousin mas Ken." Elsa whispers. "I'm sorry you weren't at my sister's wedding. By his brothers Ken certainly came everything. They must be cute and rich. Aren't you, brother?"

I immediately frowned, especially when Elsa showed me one of her cousin Ken's photos. Brian, Ken's brother from his father's line.

"Where's the picture?" my many.

"On medsosnya. I'm stalking ig mas Ken and his brother who is still single and certainly cute." without shame Elsa admitted what she had done, even she kept some photos of them in the phone. Elsa showed me.

"Geez!" I'm head-scalking. "You're not ashamed, what if Ken finds out?"

"It's okay, I don't call people husbands. That brother jutek must be because I'm afraid I want to call Ken mas? Relax, I don't like people's husbands. But if his brother is single, let dong." he laughed flirtatiously.

Elsa hasn't given up. He kept asking to even start forcing me to give Brian his phone number. Something I think is pretty presumptuous. Although I've been Ken's wife which means is his cousin-in-law, but still there is privacy that I have to take care of, especially that I know Brian already has a candidate. At your wedding, she came with her future partner.

"Brian lives in Australia" I said.

"Yes, I know." Answer Elsa.

"Continue?"

"Well, can you take a trip to Australia? You think it's cheap there? Must use a visa, the cost of the plane is also not cheap."

"Whoa, brother, give the price. After all, Ken is the son of a rich man, his father a successful businessman and now mas Ken is the director of the R group. Aye, right?"

"No, Ken's only a director at publishing and magazine."

"Well the same, brother, sooner or later Ken will also be a director. He's the only boy, isn't he?"

"Mas Ken is not the type of person who just wants to take it from his parents. He has his own passion and loves to fight. If you want nothing just ask."

"Yes, it's up to Rara just how I can meet Brian. Besides, brother, if I become the same Brian, brother will also be happy. We could be one big family."

Hearing Elsa's words, I was actually already very upset. He's too confident. Even if I'm married to Ken, I wouldn't dare to arrange for his cousin to want to be with my stepbrother.

"I, you better not expect Brian, who I know he already has a future wife. Maybe soon we will get married" I said.

"Yes, nothing, brother. There are still many handsome men who are also scattered around Rara. As a sister, brother Rara must help me to get a rich and handsome soul mate mas Ken!" elsa said, still with her confidence.

"Huh? You don't understand that either? You think I collect the names of rich guys? Yeah nope. I can't hang out with Sa."

"Duh Rara's sister why so stingy anyway. Oh, I know, you're afraid to compete with me, right?"

"Astagfirullah, not at all. I'm not that petty. Not at all in my life, you can be a good-looking, rich or celebrity."

"Hihihi, Rara's sister is sensian huh. By the way, can you share a recipe so you can find Ken's mas? What's the pellet, brother?"

"Astagfirullah, Elsa, you speak carefully!" I began to get annoyed with his attitude, let alone his last accusation earlier. How could he say I used pellets to get Ken, when things like that were way out of my life. Even I don't understand pellets at all.

"Sister Rara, I'm just kidding."

"If I'm the same, don't joke like that. I don't like it."

"Yes yes, Rara. So what about my job? Next week I'll stop, brother."

"And I've said, if you want to work in a Ken mas company, just look at the info on the website, if there is a vacancy must be announced there, if there is no yes already!" for some reason, it feels impatient to deal with it which is still a smallness and sometimes insistent on his request.

Sometimes we are surrounded by people who turn into parasites for our lives. Mama and Dinda who were really close to me did not dare to ask for anything, but she who had just met me after a dozen years now was even brave.

But I have decided to be firm. Rejected when he asked for Brian's number, as well as a job opening.

Maybe because my attitude is not too friendly to make Elsa decide to leave. I'm not holding them back. Does not equip anything even though Elsa several times directly or indirectly implies that the money is limited to go home.

Again I did not touch Elsa, let her go home without holding back or giving extra pocket money. He is an adult, even working, I feel he can rely on himself.

After all, when he decided to come here, I was very sure that Aunt Wira had also provided him with enough money.
