DELENE
SEVENS
Delena looked at a woman standing at the door of her apartment. He confirmed what he saw in fact his sister-Selena Scharlete or just his imagination before starting to walk closer. The woman who had noticed his existence smiled slightly while Delena's countenance was still flat. “You just got home from work?” ask the woman. Delena only nodded briefly before taking out the key from her sling bag and directly opening the door.
“Live only. What's up, brother?”
They have been sitting on the sofa in a distance away, showing once the relationship is not good. Selena cleared her throat before taking out a piece of paper from inside her bag. After Delena saw more clearly it turned out to be a photo, and she was surprised to find a portrait of herself with Joshua hugging in the car at night in the photo.
Delena silenced a thousand languages while the girl's older sister increasingly examined her younger brother's look more clearly. “You don't want to say anything or anything?” asked Selena who strangely sounded very soft. Delena looked up after subconsciously dodging her brother's gaze.
“That's true of me,” Delena said slowly. His expression has not changed.
“There again?” Selena placed the photo on the table and they were both silent for a while.
“I don't feel like I have to explain anything..”
“Joshua go at an important event that will decide our wedding day. And sister suddenly received a photo of you two as cool as making out. Delena, Our family..”.
“Family Kak Selena means sister,” break up Delena. His tears had already welled up and he was trying not to cry at that moment.
Selena took her breath before starting to talk back without looking at her interlocutor. “Whatever you want to try to prove, it will not change the fact that you are really selfish, Delena.”
Selena then stepped away, leaving her little sister who immediately cried cupping her face in both hands. Of course his heart hurts. He only felt why he was to blame when the fact he knew was that Joshua had been taken from him.

“Good morning,” greet a voice that Delena did not want to hear at the beginning of the day. Joshua was already at the door of his apartment with a charming smile that Delena did not want to see. The man dyed his hair in a brownish color and put on a gel to make his appearance refreshing once it should. But unfortunately, Delena could not enjoy the view especially when she was visited directly by her lover last night.
“I'll take you to work today,” said the man.
“Seriously, Brother Shua don't have any busyness what's it today?”
“There..”
“Yaudah go there.”
“So your driver, Del.” Joshua smiled wider and wider, and Delena was itching to shake the man. Why is he so handsome as a person?!
Delena did not say anything and immediately went ahead of Joshua who immediately chased after her. Until the moment they both arrive at the parking lot, Delena's bead captures the figure of Gavin who will ride his car not far from where they stand. “I already have a driver, brother. Thanks yes.” The girl slightly ran over after waving briefly at Joshua who was still standing in his place in a daze.
Delena was on time when she managed to open the door next to the wheel after a few seconds the car owner entered it. Gavin was of course surprised while the girl smiled widely and immediately put on her seat belt. “Gosh! Who told you to ride carelessly?” spray Gavin while rubbing his chest.
“It's an emergency. Come down where I come from, don't be here, okay?”
“Hah?”
Gavin glanced towards the watch that was coiled around his arm. At the same time, suddenly his phone vibrated showing the name of his secretary there. Gavin showed the phone screen to Delena who was immediately struck by turmoil. “You are helped or engga?”
The girl was silent for a while before nodding and saying ‘oke’ resignedly. Gavin's smile rose and the man immediately answered a call from his secretary. His gaze was fixed on Delena sharply.
“...”
“I have other business. I'll let you know when it's done.”
The man disconnected the phone and started to gas it.
‘Let the debt be thought of later, I must be free first from Kak Shua or I will get into trouble again,’ thought Delena. He did not know that Gavin had been thinking about many plans to collect debt on him later.

It was a pretty crowded afternoon in class. Delena was a little confused because suddenly her class became super busy even though one of her friends had just been let out because there was an urgent need. The children's English course teacher approached one of his students who continued to go back and forth when he had finished studying a few minutes ago. “Darren!” reproofing. Delena knew the child might be tired of waiting for her brother and sister who were still studying.
“Om Gavin did not reply yet, Miss? Say pick up,” whine the kid. A few moments ago, Delena had sent a Whatsapp message to the handsome man but Delena has not checked again whether the man has replied to him or not. Then the class phone suddenly sounded and displayed the name ‘Om Devan Darren Alvin’ there. Delena immediately picked him up while making sure Darren would not disturb Alvin who was in focus. “Halo. Good afternoon,” greet Delena formally without knowing that the man across there is holding back his smile. “*Sore, beautiful teacher's mom. Where are our kids?”
Our kids*?
Delena ignored the man's deadly temptation and replied, “Darren is done, sir. Alvin's in about 5 to 10 minutes. Devan...wait a minute, I check first to the second floor yes.” Delena picked up the office phone and would call the second-floor teacher when Gavin interrupted her. “No need, Del. I just have to now. Please tell Darren to be patient... Thank you.”
“Iya, sama-sam..” the call has been disconnected just like that. Delena was further confused by the man's intermittently changing personality. Then Delena remembered the debt, what would the man have asked for? I hope it's not something strange.
“De..” call Delena call a small call Darren who is now sitting pouting in one of the waiting room chairs. The boy turned his head limply making Delena anxious herself to see him. “Om Gavin already on the road to pick up, wait here do not come out ya.” Hearing that Darren immediately smiled, not forgetting that he gave a cheerful thanks to his beautiful teacher.

“Pak, this is a holiday questionnaire. Please take it to the children's mother. So starting on December 23 we will close, reopen on January 6, 2020. Even if the children are going to vacation before the 23rd, please let us know so we can prepare Prnya, please,” said Delena at length on Gavin who was already together with his three nephews in the waiting room at that time.
“These buckets please be filled and brought no later than next week, this is so we know if their PR will be reduced or the set amount remains.”
Gavin nodded as he looked at Delena before him who looked awkward as well as sweet. The man thanked her before leaving the course with his three nephews.
Gavin: I hope you have no plans during the holidays. Even if there is, you will have to pay a debt of hundreds of millions to me!!! Relax, I won't ask for anything weird.
Delena just read the message the other night after they closed the class. He had to read many times to make sure his fate was not really bad. His feelings say that he managed to temporarily escape from the bear just to get into the snake cage! And it was fitting that this afternoon the man did not say much, just smiles that foolishly Delena thought there was nothing (it was just a formal relationship between the tutor and the guardian of the student).
