A week before ….
All the way home to his brother's house, Kevin can not hide the happiness he felt. He would smile, laugh, whistle, even occasionally kick to express how happy his heart was right now.
Just separated for a while, but in Kevin's mind was already imagined all the things about Ayline. How beautiful is Ayline's smile. How adorable was Ayline's face when she was upset. Also how funny it was when the woman was being snubbed at him.
“Anything every holiday I have to come here again!” Kevin was determined to come to Lando City as often as possible and meet Ayline.
He had not yet left Lando City, but he had already planned when the time was right for him to return to visit the city. All for what? of course to meet the idol, beautiful Ayline, thought Kevin.
Kevin began to think, in the near future when he has an empty schedule again. He had even intended to book a flight from now on so excited.
Kevin's journey is finally over. One of his brother's cars that he always used when visiting Lando City, drove slowly into the spacious yard of his brother's house. Not one of the only brothers who work in a large company, even though only in a branch company but the income is promising.
Kevin entered the house greeted by one of the house assistants. From the housekeeper as well, he knew that his brother-in-law had been waiting for his presence since then.
Tok .. Tok .. Tok …. Kevin knocked on his nephew's bedroom door before opening it. “I go home, Brother,” said Kevin in a soft voice like he was whispering.
“Kevin, come here!” Call her. “I want to talk to you about something important.”
Kevin stepped into the room hesitantly. “Speaking what, Brother?” tanyakanya. “What if I wait for Brother-in-law in the family room only? We'll talk there,” the proposal.
“No, no! In the living room there is your brother, right?” Kevin nodded in response. ”What we're going to talk about is just between the two of us. Your brother can't know,” Shelly said.
With a frowning forehead, Kevin finally sat on the pink fur carpet. “It looks like a very serious problem,” guess Kevin.
“Not again very serious, but very very serious,” said Shelly cause curiosity and anxiety simultaneously in the mind of Kevin. “Who was that woman?”
The question from his Sister-in-law made Kevin frown. “Why still ask, Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law will definitely know who she is,” Kevin replied.
Shelly looks to breathe. Since they were talking in her daughter's room, then Shelly thought she should really pick the word she was going to say. Don't let there be bad words that her little daughter shouldn't have heard.
“Sure I know if he's Ayline. But what's your relationship with him? Why can you be with him? And the most important since when?” Shelly poked her sister-in-law with a question. The look on the woman's face clearly showed her dislike.
Kevin served his nephew first who asked for help to solve the puzzle. To be honest, Kevin felt uncomfortable being questioned like this, because he thought he was an adult. What he did with Ayline was not a bad thing and was still within the limits of reasonableness. At its core today, no matter what happens there is nothing wrong, Kevin thought.
“I and Ayline, we are friends,” replied Kevin briefly.
Shelly widened both her neutrals. “Please, Kevin. Answer honestly!”
“I'm honest, Sister-in-law,” reply Kevin. “Hem, although I personally hope that our relationship is not just an ordinary friend. Hem, we are pretty close friends.”
Kevin can feel if there is no positive aura from his Sister-in-law. I don't know what's wrong with her words, which is for sure her brother-in-law looks increasingly upset.
“Meeting Ayline and I, was the second meeting. If you ask since when, hem ... can be said it all started at the birthday party Sister-in-law.” Kevin spoke with a smile on his face. With each mention of Ayline's name, Kevin's memory carries with it every second he is with the woman he adores.
“Stop, Kevin! Please, stop!” Shelly pressed every word she said.
“What do you mean, Sister-in-law?”
Really Kevin was confused by the request of his Sister-in-law. During this time there was one thing that Kevin admired from Shelly, his brother-in-law was rarely involved in the affairs of her husband's family. Even if her sister wants to make a fool of her with a woman, it's usually Shelly who helps her resist. Strangely, why now the woman is meddling with her personal affairs.
“Sure I didn't tell you to stop, Kev. Tell me, how far do you know Ayline? How much do you know about that woman?”
“Why silence, Kev? Don't tell me you don't know who Ayline really is?!” Guess Shelly.
“Ayline Yes Ayline, Brother! Guess enough. Quickly explain to me what Sister-in-law.” means
Shelly shifted her seat. “Do you know Ayline status? She's not a single woman. He's already married. She is a wife,” Shelly said in a soft voice.
Kevin's body froze. Is this a fact? It was impossible for Ayline to lie and cover up her true status.
“From your expression, I guess you just found out about this,” Shelly said.
“Don't ask where I know from, or ask if what I'm saying is true or not. Remember Kevin, you met him at my birthday party. Of course I know who Ayline is!”
Kevin just glanced at Shelly. He lost his words. A few hours ago, he had just flown out of his happiness, but a few seconds ago he was thrown away just because of one fact that his Sister-in-law spoke.
“Before it's too late then stop, Kev!” pinta Shelly's.
How shocked Shelly was when Kevin shook his head. “There can be no smoke if there is no fire. I'm sure Ayline must have had a reason why he wasn't honest with me,” martial Kevin.
He is not currently defending Ayline. The woman is guilty. Kevin is defending himself, because he also knows the fault is in him who never asked Ayline status. He thought, when Ayline agreed to meet him again, then there was no problem at all.
“Of course, Kevin. But what is the importance of that reason?!”
“Don't make yourself a fool, Kev. There are still a lot of single women out there. If you remain stubborn to want to continue with Ayline, then it is not just you who are destroyed. We, our family will be affected as well. Your brother's career will be ruined,” Shelly explained.
“What does this have to do with you guys?”
“Of course there is, Kev. Ayline .. The woman was the wife of Lord Oswald Pallas. The sole heir of Pallas Group, the company where your brother works at the moment,” Shelly replied.
Kevin froze again. Worth it, Shelly who is usually indifferent to her personal affairs this time even interfered.
“Please, Kev. Stop, for your own good also for the good of all of us,” pinta Shelly.
After a conversation with Shelly, the two agree to hide this from Galih, Kevin's older brother. Kevin had that night abandoned his intention to tell Ayline. He had promised to tell me when he got home. Ayline's message informing him of his whereabouts, he deliberately ignored that night.
Last night Kevin couldn't close his eyes. What was Ayline's reason for lying to him, continued to be a question in Kevin's mind.
Powerful people like them, can easily bestow blame on us! Shelly's warning came back to his mind.
Don't ask the magnitude of Kevin's disappointment at this time. However, he was not that happy if because of his selfishness to have Ayline to make the happiness of his sister's family destroyed.
So until the time came he boarded the plane that would take him back home to Gumi City, Kevin did not tell Ayline.
Before the plane took off, Kevin checked his phone again. The schedule of his visit to Lando City that he had planned, in the end he removed. Ayline Kevin's cell phone number was blocked before he removed it from the phone book list on his phone.
Kevin sighed, looking at the sky of Lando City from the plane window. It would be very difficult for him to come back to this city. His visit which was only a few days, left a huge hole in his heart out of disappointment.
“Huh! Stop, Kevin. Consider it yesterday you were dreaming. Now is the time to wake up, the real world awaits you!” kevin's monologue to encourage himself.
