“Your phone is okay?, sir asked you to his study."
Said a maid who had caught Merisa hiding behind the sofa.
Merisa nodded. He tried to stand up even though his knees kept shaking violently.
"Let me help, Miss," said the maid very kindly. Merisa let the maid earlier help her to stand up.
"Thank you" said a nervous Grief. He was still ashamed of the incident.
"Is it better?"
Merisa nods her head. The maid let go of his arms, letting Merisa walk on her own.
"Come." She smiled to give a sign to feel like following him.Merisa followed his direction, while regulating the heartbeat that is still beating fast because suddenly had to see his first love that is none other than Niko Zevano.
They were taken to the 2nd floor. Leon's workspace was a little cornered. The maid, allowed Merisa to wait inside until her master came.
Again Merisa was fascinated, seeing how beautiful the workspace Leon .
The room is a few square meters in blue and white paint. The most interesting thing is the large curve-shaped window that is right behind Leon's desk.
The vast expanse of pages overgrown with cherry trees can be seen from here even though the cherry tree has been molten because it has entered winter but later, when spring arrives, when spring arrives, sakura flowers will bloom beautifully.
This room looks very bright because sunlight can enter through the large window. Here there are not many accessories, but only a few wall hangings, the closet where to store documents is next to Leon's workbench while the bookshelves are on the other side, precisely across the workbench. Then a set of blue sofas was on the right side of the room.
"Please, Miss." Said the maid politely while directing Merisa to sit on the sofa. Merisa nodded.
"Is there anything else you need, miss?"
Merisa shook her head.
"No, thank you" he said with a warm smile. Not long after, the maid stepped out to go out after she greeted him by bowing her body.
Merisa sat pensively thinking about the reason why Leon gave a check and also the ownership letter of his house that he had guaranteed to loan sharks. They exhale heavily. He leaned his body on the sofa. His eyes looked at the sky and then turned around. Glass windows, work tables, bookshelves and a collection of photo frames hanging on the wall in front of him.
Merisa began to focus on a row of photo frames hanging on the wall of the left side of the room. Merisa stood up and began to step her feet to approach the collection of photos hanging before her. Look at it one by one, until he is completely satisfied.
Pictures of Leon with his family. In the photo, Leon is being squeezed by his father, mother and older brother with an expressionless face. 'truly true Alvalendra' Gumam Merisa family.
Now his gaze turns to the photo of Leon with his two best friends, Niko and Stefani. Leon looks very indifferent. He looked to the side, ignoring the camera and his two friends who were beside him. Now it was Niko who put a sour face towards Leon. Maybe Niko was jealous to see Stefani holding Leon, not her. Once again Merisa's heart melos. He shook his head trying to shake off all his stupid feelings.
Look at the other photos of Leon. Photo from Leon's 17th birthday. Everyone was smiling happily except Leon. He looks lazy at his own birthday party.
It seemed to be remembered about the rumors that circulated after the party was over. Not that Merisa likes to gossip but at that time, this issue was very hot. There is no need to bother finding out because the news is always a hot topic for 2 full weeks.
At that time Leon invited all his school friends or it could be said that all the school residents. He rented a luxury yacht to celebrate for an entire week, sailing around the pacific ocean.
She got the invitation letter at her home. Unfortunately Merisa did not come there at all. Merisa prefers to do her homework rather than having to come there.
Wh why?
Because at that time, his only friend was the school, Fian. As a result he does not want to be a loser who becomes a display because there is no one friend who can be talked to by him. Especially after the incident of reading his blatant notes. He could be the object of bullying there.
Unfortunately, it seems like the party didn't go according to plan. According to rumors, Leon who made his own birthday party prefers to go home sooner 6 days from the planned schedule and followed by Stefani and Niko. I don't know what happened at that time.
Suppose, at that time Merisa chose to come maybe the incident will be another.
"Ehem…"
Merisa who was cool looking at the photos, immediately jumped in shock when she saw Leon standing nearby even less than a meter away. Merisa quickly took a distance, taking a few steps back.
"Sorry.." Said Merisa nervously. He lowered his face, not daring to look at Leon's face .
"What's wrong?" A question was asked from Leon's mouth. As usual Leon put a flat face, Seeeeedatar-flatnya while folding both hands and leaning his body at the end of a row of picture frames that Merisa had seen.
"Please accept!" Said Merisa while bending her body and extending her hand giving the check to leon.
Leon only saw the check in Merisa's hand without the intention of taking it.
"Hm, just make you," said Leon flatly. Merisa immediately fell open in shock to hear Leon's words.
"But why?" Tanya Shamefully. Actually, for God's sake, Merisa's very, very eager to have that check. But, since childhood he was taught to return the favor of the person who did him good and considering the nominal value given to him was too great to be reciprocated, it is better not to accept it. Moreover, he has taken ownership of his house which has been redeemed by Leon. He didn't want to add his budding list to Leon.
"I feel sorry for you."
Like in a lightning strike in broad daylight. Why did Leon say that, Merisa hated that very much. Better he be scolded than be pityed.
"Let's just say, you're sorry that you fired me wrong, right?" said a furious voice, without him noticing. He quickly closed his mouth and then looked down again. The urat in Leon's head appeared instantly hearing how dare Merisa talk like that to him.
"You think that's how it is? Heh.." He smiled cynically.
"…it looks like you misunderstood me, do you think I fired you because of the booking problem.?”. Merisa.
"…you think I'm stupid don't know who's wrong." Leon still displayed his cynical smile.
Merisa tucked in shock.
"Then why did you fire me?" He gathered all his courage to look into Leon's eyes.
"You think you can lie to me? all your apps are fake, right? Fortunately, only I knew that" he grinned, won.
"Then why don't you just shut up? During this time my work is fine?" As he raised his tone, his ego began to appear.
"You think it's worth talking like that?”. Leon raised his eyebrows.
This time Merisa looked down again. He knows now he's wrong. Forcing his ego on a person who is not who he is who even that person has kindly given his home letter.
"Sorry.." said Merisa softly but still can not eliminate her sense of regret in the person in front of her.
"Yes already”. Leon thought this conversation was over. Finally he opened the door to get out but when his hand was ready to pull the doorknob, Merisa's hand was holding her wrist to hold her out.
"L-at least you accept, this check," said a nervous Grief.
"Make you," said Leon flatly.
"But I can't answer that." One logical reason was thrown out by the mouth of Merisa.
"No need," argued Leon in the middle of the pull pull pull pull.
"But I'll pay all my debt." The second reason is back in Merisa.
"No need" argued Leon once again. This time, he was a little careless in the face of Merisa's stubborn behavior.
"I-I will definitely try hard to pay it.." The third reason was again thrown by Hinata.
"Said no. Yes no!" Denied Leon for the third time in an annoyed tone. Hope Merisa is no longer stubborn and accepts the check.
"But. a-"
Enough already! Leon couldn't take it anymore.
"Yes! Pay everything…! With flowers…! I don't care what you do…!" Now that Leon had exploded, he threw out Merisa's hand and quickly took the check in Merisa's hand and tore it up and threw it on the floor.
Leon came out slamming the door, leaving Merisa who was only pensive to see the pieces of the check splattered on the floor, the check worth millions was now worthless.
'my fate' Inner Merisa cried .
