Paper Dove

PETTY THIEF

Jeni was glued to the door, I saw her holding the doorknob firmly. I stood very close to her, her yellow-golden eyeball color like Amber color caught my attention .

“ What do you want”, He looks at me as if he has no fear at all.

“ Me? To repay what you did yesterday. Forgot?”, I looked at her flat. The smile of victory is on my lips.

“ Keep, what do you want?”, Jeni's still challenging me.

I applauded for finding a very brave opponent. “ Wow you are so brave yes woman bar-bar. All this time everyone who made a mistake with me always looked down and asked for forgiveness. But you're amazing”, I grabbed one of his arms.

He looked at me without blinking “ release me”.

“ Just try. Do what you can to get away from me”, I'm pulling him closer to me. I was angry to see him dare to answer my every word. The stubborn woman who bullied me.

Jeni took her hand off the door and quickly tried to punch me in the face, I who did not expect the attack could only twitch a little, making her fist hit my temple. a little bit of pain but I could endure, I pulled him in one hit. Forcibly lifting it on my shoulder and throwing it in the middle of the bed.

Surprised by what I was doing, his guts began to shrivel. “ What do you want from me?”, Jeni yells hysterically.

“ Apologize I will spare”, I rub my temple plan while looking at it.

“ Won't”, Jeni throws a pillow at me. I squinted and laughed. I saw her get out of bed and was about to attack me empty-handed, this woman's guts were worth appreciating. I grabbed him and pushed him into bed.locked his hands on his head and locked his legs with my knees. He tried to thrash, but I knew he was scared. 

“ Silence”, I yell at him. Reflexes he petrified. I exhale regulating my emotions. “ You are too brave little miss, your guts are enough to surprise me. Haaah.... You won't apologize?”, I looked at him sharply.

He was silent, not looking away, not answering me. I laughed at his guts. “ Good this time I forgive you. Be thankful for that. If you show up and make me pry. I'm not gonna let you go. Understood”, I spoke coldly and then let go.

He quickly sat on the bed and took the pillow that was made into a shield. “ I won't attack you again. Go home”, I pick up Jeni's bag on the floor, I quickly put my expensive watch in her bag. The absentminded Jeni was unaware of the trap and said nothing until I handed her her bag.

“ Run as far as possible if I don't want to catch”, I smile cynically.

He took his bag rough, he advanced towards me very close. Staring into my eyes then saying “ Basic male bastard”, then he ran out of the room without looking back.

Doni came into my room a few minutes later, holding a glass of whiskey and staring out the window.

“ Tuan”, Doni greets me.

“ Catch the woman. He brought my Role* in his bag”, I said cruelly.

“ Good tuan”, Doni bow respectfully then leave. 

“ha ha ha exciting also turned out”, I laughed while staring out the window looking at the waves that rolled to and fro.

1 hour passed. I sat in my chair quietly, as Doni brought in Jeni who was fighting him with all her might. 

“ Let go of me, I'm not a thief. I'm in the fuck's trap. release”, Jeni thrashing. Doni took his hand off Jeni.

“ Wah turns out we caught the Doni” thief, I pretended to be surprised. 

“ Fuck, you set me up”, Jeni yells.

“ Me? what did I set you up for? Obviously I put this clock on the table. Wow your hands are fast once”, I stare at her cynically.

“ Bastard let me go. Or I report to polis”, Jeni threatened.

I'm laughing amused “ You forgot who I am? alright. Just bring that cop here, we'll see who's going to jail”, I said arrogantly. 

Jeni looked at me with anger.

“ An hour ago I told you never to bother me again, how dare you steal from me bar-bar woman. Who taught you that? your folks? your grandfather?”, I somehow became rude to this woman.

Jeni took a step closer towards me, with anger she slapped my right cheek. I closed my eyes feeling the heat of my cheek because of that tiny hand slap.  I dropped the watch on my hand to the floor and pulled this woman in front of me violently. My teeth were grinding with anger, not since when did I turn violent. I clutched Jeni's arm tightly, she grimaced in pain. 

Doni's voice resuscitated me “ Tuan”.

I regained my senses and exhaled a calming breath, unwinding the hand from this woman's arm violently. I turned around and spoke coldly.

“ Drag the old man here”, I gave orders to Doni. 

Jeni's eyes widened in shock, it seemed like she didn't expect what I was saying. “ Why involve grandfather? this has nothing to do with my grandfather”, Jeni yelled angrily.

I turned to look towards Jeni “ I wonder what that grandfather taught his granddaughter to the point of daring to steal from me and being rude to others. Drag the old man here”, I looked at him coldly.

“ Good lord”, Doni replied and was about to exit the room when Jeni directly knelt before me, I stared at her flat. To control the big fish in the deep sea, you have to put up a big bait to attract the attention of the fish and now my bait is eaten by a big stubborn fish. 

“ I'm sorry, I'm guilty. I made the mistake of dousing you with water and hitting you but I didn't steal. I will pay for all the losses inflicted on you. But please don't take my grandfather, he'll get sick if he finds out I'm making trouble”, Jeni begs me.

A hint of my pity for him showed up and to the end he kept arguing about the theft. I salute her, I stand looking at her with a more friendly face.

“ Well I won't bring your grandfather here, but you will have to pay for all the losses I have received. Stand up”, I gave her orders.

Doni helps Jeni stand up, her body shakes not out of fear of me but out of anger and wanting to hit me. I know that for sure, because the look in his eyes was very very unfriendly. 

“ Tomorrow come here, you have to pay for everything you did to me. Bring me a bouquet of flowers, that's your first assignment. Doni take her home”, I give orders.

Jeni was silent not to answer, regulating her hunting breath due to emotions. I smiled ignorantly and approached her then whispered “ Don't try to run away, I know your grandfather's house”. He just looked at me with anger and then turned away without looking at me again. 

I stared at his departure with a happy smile, I found a new pleasure. Many women go back and forth to make drama in front of me but none of them caught my attention. But this woman managed to get all my attention. I picked up my watch on the floor and put it on the table. 

" His eyes are charming", I gulped down my drink in one gulp.
