ETERNAL ENEMIES

(194)

"May me.." point out Ney whose itchy hands want to try.

Syakieb invited her and Ney opened the box and held it one by one. What caught his attention the most was the small and large flower-shaped headdress, Ney tried to put the crown on his head. Syakieb carried a large mirror and leaned it against the wall and Ney reflected while posing.

She thought she looked so beautiful and looked so fancy wearing the crown. Decorate many small gems in the center of the flower. She likes him but hesitates to accept him let alone to want him, she must agree to be his adopted son. Without Ney realizing it, she was wearing all the jewelry in her skinny hands.

Syakieb smiled blandly saw it then silently - silently recording Ney who was drowning in luxury jewelry. Then Syakieb sent it to Alex. The jewelry was handpicked by Alex until his mother and brother wondered what Alex was doing too much like that.

"For what?" Asked his astonished brother to see Alex was sorting out the jewelry.

"Something." Alex said with a meaningful smile.

Back at Syakieb's residence, Ney still hasn't gotten tired of trying out all the jewelry. Ney felt more worthy to wear it than anyone. "So how? You can have it all if you..."

Syakieb pushed his paper again on the table to Ney. Ney realizes he's back in reality to be able to get everything he has to sign. Ney then by decision releases all the jewels but forgets to release his crown.

"If I have to sell my own family, I can't" Ney said confidently.

"Who wants to buy your family? This is an adoption contract until you are old we will consider as a child. Even if you are married, your home is with us. Your family of origin will always be there but you can go home once every 6 months" Syakieb said steadily.

once every 6 months!? It's the same thing slowly he'll forget all his family members, Ney thought. But by accepting it automatically Rita will be defeated as well as Arnila. He's gonna have a lot of fancy stuff that all his friends can't buy. But on the other hand, he had to let himself be colonized into a levy in another family and certainly many rules.

"Think about it first. Your family can't give you the luxury I can give you. You can do anything to people, we won't ban it. You can take revenge on people who have made you suffer. You will be so happy to be our daughter, you can go anywhere without worrying about the cost. We will take care of the husband, match you with a rich man.just sit and obey what I give. So?" Ask Syakieb who's waiting for Ney's decision.

It was clearly visible on his face that Ney was terrified of living by the rules, which he did not like at all. That was seen when he worked at any company ended up with a dismissal.

"But.." said Ney who couldn't think what. He bit his thumb and made Syakieb annoyed to see it. All of Ney's habitual behavior must have bothered many people who understand.

"You can get closer to Alex as well, I know you like him a lot even if you don't know what it is with a sincere heart or you just want his prestige. I'll make you look like a princess. Luxury clothes with jewelry that glitters like stars in the sky. Alex is happy with a woman who behaves like a princess" Syakieb said.

"If Rita how? She was far from saying Princess as well as her rebellious nature. His habits and behavior are also not far with me but how could Alex be more affected by him? And if I look, I know better how Alex wants it," said Ney who was a bit sullen.

"Why should you think about Rita? Just think for yourself. You never think about others, you only care about yourself" said Syakieb, who leaned back into the chair.

Ney was silent for a moment, and he realized that all this time everything was just himself he was thinking about. All the wishes he wants must always be obeyed not only in the parents but also in the direction of Rita. For him Rita is very difficult to tame to continue to obey his words. Now it's even harder since he met Alex, if Rita used to always believe in Ney until she was often scolded by her parents for being too trusting.

Now Rita is changing very differently than she used to be. Ney was completely defied by him without a word of defeat from Rita's mouth. Rita who now can see the original Ney and will be worse in the future.

"Soalah Rita is my rival," Ney said slowly.

"Why do you think about her fate? What I see Rita is different. He has an amazing ability to pull Alex cold and turn him warm, I know Alex is often mistreated by him but with a heart. That's what makes Alex more comfortable with him, Rita is always careful and treats Alex gently. Unfortunately Alex was too misunderstood to him well his name also spoke on social media. He is indeed very far from his type Alex but he is a chameleon," Syakieb said according to his vision during a glimpse of Rita at that time.

Syakieb sighed how he could confess to a friend but could not see anything so easy from his own friend. Even other people who are not his friends are clearly visible, this is what close friends do not understand? So strange! Syakieb thought as he tilted one of his eyebrows towards Ney.

"Are you Rita's friend or just confessing?" Ask Syakieb.

"I'm right his friend. His friend!" Ney said while slightly stammering.

"Are you sure? Because what I see seems like you can't read the nature of your own friends even though it's very easy when it comes to Rita. I'm sure you're just a friend in the sense of the word," Syakieb was convinced by his feelings that Ney was just making it - there was a mention of him as a friend.

"Yes you'll just see I'm the same Rita, definitely won't know," said Ney who began to fidget and panic.

Although Syakieb still felt strange he finally dismissed his thoughts. "I mean the chameleon is an animal that can change its color wherever it is. Rita is also so she can easily adjust herself without being asked. I think why he likes to pay attention to people is so he can know what the situation around him is like, then he will put himself to start changing colors but still be himself,"

"Then he's a fake dong, thank God I have another friend," Ney said proudly.

"He is not a fake person. I told you earlier despite changing colors he remains himself. He was a Real friend who could accept other people of various classes and statuses. It should be that if you've been with him long enough, you can immediately know but why even not know at all?" Ask Syakieb who tilted his eyebrows.

"I can too if it's like that" said Ney who did not want to lose.

"You don't have that ability. You don't fit in with Rita. Rita from the beginning did not need to be trained because she easily understood. Someday if you meet Alex and his surroundings, he'll be able to adjust so I'm not worried at all. The only problem is Alex he's too callous" Syakieb said, thinking.

Ney did not like to hear anything good about Rita and it was from her changed face, Syakieb caught it straight away.

"Rita and you are very different. If you think life is unfair, because you only see it from outside the skin. The difference between you and Rita is very clear from body care for example. I'm sorry that I judge you like you, but as a woman I feel strange, you have absolutely no interest in treatment" Syakieb said, staring at Ney.

Ney seemed a little uncomfortable looking at it. "She's the matre of all kinds of products purchased. Absolutely can not save," said Ney who said anything nonsense.

"That's your habit of saying things in disguise just to bring down your own friends. Rita's not a matre woman, it's actually you. Rita preferred the usual, a friend who can communicate well if he has a friend who likes to argue, he will definitely leave. You think I'm a materialist" said Syakieb, who laughed a little.

Ney was shocked to hear Syakieb say that. But Ney was silent indeed he was very happy money than heart.

"Over the last few weeks, you've had the courage to ask to buy this, I got a little sympathy for you. But I can bear that kind of woman, right. But you should have self-esteem in an adult man, do not underestimate let alone think you like a better woman. It's sad in my opinion, and .. I don't like women at all who don't have a price," Syakieb turned his face away and cleaned up some of the decorations.

Ney slightly reddened his face considering it was also true that he was like that. Just a few days he dared to ask for a pulse then the next week asked to buy something else. He was too overconfident, feeling more worthy of being with her. It turned out that Syakieb was completely uncomfortable with his existence.

"From the beginning I was only ordered to take the package. But you came without me asking, like asking me to accept more of your presence. Do you want to rival your own friends? Though your friend has a heart that sincerely wants to accept as your friend but you refuse. You're grateful she's insensitive?" Ask Syakieb who put a teapot on the table.

Ney did not dwell at all at that time, he could not say anything - did everything Syakieb just say. His view is empty at all, everyone is not only Syakieb but most ask why he can have friends even though his behavior is very sad. Ney asked a lot why everyone looked at Rita as a good person and they seemed to flatter her. Even his own family, what was his lack?
