Dusk Limit Towards the Morning (Rain)

the arrival of Mr. Joshua

I didn't realize I was at the door, probably because I was thinking about Mr. Joshua all the time.

"Square." I calmed myself down and slowly opened the door.

"Geea? Why are you taking so long?" Merry turned around and looked towards the door.

With a gloomy face, "I'm sorry, you must be tired of waiting for me?" Seeing Merry's pouting face made me feel guilty.

Merry looked curious, "Why did you get to that long time ago?" Merry started to grumble.

I walked towards the sofa that was beside the bed, the place where Merry was sitting. Throw down my ass and take a pillow for my footwear. "There's Mr. Joshua." I'm trying to calm down.

Merry got up from that chair "What?" Merry shouted involuntarily until he stood up.

Looking at the surprised Merry, "Why are you so surprised?" My words that felt funny with Merry's reaction and held back laughter.

Merry felt strange, "Hey Gea! You know Mr Joshua is here and you still have a good laugh? Are you crazy! " Merry was inexhaustible with my attitude and sat back down with eyes looking at me sharply.

I looked at Merry, "Well, what should I do? Afraid? Getting angry? Or even sad? I don't think it's gonna change anything that's gonna happen in the future." I was clear on Merry.

From the inside of the room, it looks very bright behind the window, "Yes, really. But this is not what you should do." Merry looked at me sharply.

For a few seconds our eyes looked at each other, "You mean?? I don't understand the meaning of Merry's words.

"Okay now I'll talk seriously. Now let us examine, Lord Joshua knew that Mitha saved Leandricho and so the Monarustichells owed Mitha a debt of gratitude. From the beginning Mitha really liked Leandricho and you also know this. After that you decided to marry Leandricho." Merry tried to explain the possibility of what happened.

I was speechless to Merry's words, "Because Leandricho is bound by a treaty with the Albregatte family then this will be a problem for the Monarustichell family. For upper-class families have debt and can not or can not pay it back arguably is taboo or disgrace for the family. But cancelling the agreement is also a disgrace to the family, here you could say Mr. Joshua was in for a tough choice." I continued Merry's words.

"Frightly so." Merry flicked his finger.

"And the possibility that if Mr. Joshua is currently in the residence of Albregatte is..." Merry paused on his words.

"Begging Mitha to be Leandricho's second wife!" I said and Merry at the same time. Our eyes were fixed on each other with complete confidence that the arrival of Lord Joshua was nothing else and it was impossible to ask Father to accept or allow Mitha to be Leandricho's second wife.

Position between the Albregatte and Monarustichell families in terms of power, Albregatte is still far above Monarustichell. Therefore Mr. Joshua asked for Father's consideration.

"Yes, this makes sense." I said in my heart.

I tried to explain to Merry, "When I walked into Dad's room earlier, the atmosphere there looked tense and Dad's face looked serious......" Analyzes.

"It's possible that Mr. Nicholas disagrees with that." Merry cut my conversation.

"It's true that Dad wouldn't agree to that considering my feelings." I'm proud to have such a good father.

"Best thing, when a father can understand his daughter is like Mr. Nicholas." Merry said with a sad face.

I approached Merry, "That's it, I'm sure that your parents are watching you too." Hugging Merry.

Merry returned my arms, "Thank you, Gea." Merry with a soft tone.

I smiled broadly, "Sama-sama." Answer me.

Merry let go of my embrace, "Eh. I forgot something, you want to say there's something important to say. Whatisit? " Seeing me seriously.

"Huh.." I just sighed.

"Lohs. Wh why? " Merry was curious because I just took a deep breath.

I bowed my head, "This isn't much different from the discussion." I'm trying to explain.

"Mr Joshua?" Merry tried to guess.

I shook my head, "Not in his Mr. Joshua but in his Mitha." Reply firmly.

"Mitha's? Why Mitha? Is he bothering you?" Merry asked a lot of questions.

I understood his attitude, "Let me explain first.".

"All right." Answer Merry understood.

I thrust my phone at Merry, "Here you can read it yourself." I showed you the phone that contained the threat message.

After Merry read it, "This is a message threatening you to break with Leandricho." Merry re-read the message and watched it.

"If viewed from the position of the sender of this message is true if Mitha." Merry guessed.

I nodded my head, "Well you're right. Mitha tried to threaten me to leave Leandricho. Because he also asked Mr. Joshua for Mitha to marry Leandricho." I continued.

Merry began to growl, "The woman is really sneaky." Merry clenched her teeth.

"It's not a problem for me. I've prepared myself to face this." Optimistically.

"Good Gea, you must be uplifting. I will always help you.".

"Since knowing you and Leandricho were getting married when High School he started to stay away from you and antagonize you, even he started to compete with you in terms of lessons and attention of friends, teachers and also including Leandricho. Although in the end he could not win even once, from there he was nicknamed an outcast and had no friends because of it." Obviously Merry is repeating the past at SMA.

"And he hates me even more." Answer exactly.

"I didn't expect that Mitha would be like this to use the debt of gratitude to the Monarustichell family. I salute Mitha." Merry praised Mitha's cunning.

"There was no comment from me because I knew from the beginning that he would make it this far." I smiled and stared out the window.

Merry said, "you mean you already know?" Merry's confused.

"You don't need to know about this, which will happen sooner or later." Full of anger.

Merry looked at me and noticed, "Why are you looking at me like that." I turned to look at Merry.

"I wonder if you like Leandricho?" Ask Merry seriously.

I gulped my saliva, "Me?" I pointed at myself.

Merry nodded, "Yes you." Answer Merry firmly.

"Do you still have doubts about me Merry? Me and Leandricho were the same age. I was educated in the same place as him, not only at school I met him but at home as well. He was always there for me and was still a new kid in Junior High. Love things? I've been in love with her for a long time. With Leandricho's attention I'm devastated." Explain my heart.

Merry was still curious, "But why in High School did you ever want to give Leandricho up for Mitha?" Ask Merry.

"The color at the time I thought friendship was more than anything. But I was wrong about that, and Mitha could not be considered a friend. Moreover, the agreement will not be canceled because it will make a disgrace for both families. So I chose to be quiet." I clearly.

"Why can't he be considered a friend.?" Merry was full of curiosity.

"He's not like you." I answered Merry.

Merry held his head, "Ahhh... I don't know if I still don't understand." His words are getting more confused.

"It has. Don't talk about it anymore. I'd better call Bi Anne. What do you want to drink?" I switched the conversation.

Merry looked at his watch, "No need for Gea. It's already afternoon. I'd better go home first." Answer Merry.

"Kok home? You had dinner here just got home." I clearly.

Merry looked worried, "Dad must be looking for me. I don't want to be scolded anymore." Merry's Complaints.

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Yes. You're also fine at home." Answer Merry.

"Here I help bring, I'll send you outside." I brought stuff outside.

"There's no need for Gea, nor is this much" he said as I sent Merry home.
