Paper Dove

SISTER-IN-LAW

“ Bella stop”, I reprimand Bella who keeps whining to me to be given an apartment.

“ Brother, I don't want to stay with mom. He always set my life”, Bella keeps whining.

I knead my forehead slowly. Seeing me ignore her Bella snorted and walked into the room. Then he came back again and yelled at me “ brother, your girlfriend is up”.

I flinched from sitting down and walked quickly towards the bed. Jeni sat there looking confusedly at Bella. As if understanding the situation Bella immediately hugged me and acted spoiled. 

“ Honey see the woman is up”, Bella acts as if she is my girlfriend.

Jeni looked at me confused. I sighed and shook my sister's head slowly. “ Stupid, our faces are similar. She won't believe in your acting”. 

Bella holds her head “ Ck, rough ih. fast jomblo”.

I stood by the bed and looked at Jeni. “ Are you aware? long stings once”.

“ How long?”, Jeni asks.

“ 2 days”, I reply seriously.

“ What?”, Jeni was surprised and trying to find something.

“ What are you looking for?”, I ask.

“ My phone”, she replied while trying to get out of bed.

Bella laughs hard “your boyfriend is easy once in lie”.

Jeni quit her activity looking for a phone “ what do you mean?”, she asked Bella. 

“ Sister, you only fell asleep for less than 24 hours”, Bella explained casually. 

Jeni looked at me who immediately turned around to leave her, but suddenly a pillow landed on my head. Make a quiet mood.

plok….Bella clapped her hands. “ Wow great, big sister once”, Bella gives thumbs up to Jeni. 

Jeni shook her head then walked into the bathroom, but she came out again and walked towards me who still could not believe she dared to throw a pillow at me.

“ I want to bathe”, he said.

“ Then? want me to accompany?”, I'm bothering him.

“ Do you want to be thrown a vase?”, Jeni looks at me annoyed.

I laughed “ Bella, lend your house shirt to my girlfriend. We'll shop”, I'm talking to Bella. 

 

Jeni pinched my arm slowly “ I'm not your girlfriend”, she whispered. I ignored him and walked into my office.

“ Okay well”, Bella answered excitedly and broke into her suitcase factory. 

Jeni followed behind me, as I turned around quickly she tiptoed and whispered “ Thank you”, then ran towards the bathroom. I smiled seeing him. 

My phone shook, I grabbed the thin thing from my pants pocket. My mother's assistant, what else she wants from me.

“ Halo”, I answered lazily.

“ Good afternoon tuan”, my mother's assistant spoke on the phone. I heard a voice whispering behind him, which I knew was my mother. I know for sure, my mother is strategizing so that I can go home to the main house and match me with the woman of her choice.

“ What's the matter?”, I asked without a stale ado.

“ Madam sick sir. If the master has time the mistress asks in jenguk”, he said slowly.

“ I'll get Bella home. For now I'm still busy, call the family doctor. Greetings to mother”, I answered immediately hung up the phone.

“ Want to see when you are here?”, I asked Bella when we had dinner three. Me, Bella and Jeni were sitting around my little dinner table.

“ I do not plan to go home, so I will stay here and play with my sister-in-law in”, Bella looked at Jeni with sparkling eyes.

“ But I don't live here. And again Bella I'm not your sister's boyfriend”, Jeni gave an explanation.

Bella was silent for a moment “ What? So you guys are married?”. Bella's question made Jeni cough in shock. I used to hear Bella's vague chatter.

“ That's not what I meant. Um. Look Bella. There was one incident that forced me and your brother to be friends like that ", Geni explained.

Bella was silent again trying to digest Jeni's words. I put the plate in front of Bella with the meat that I had cut into small pieces. 

“ Did you sleep with my sister? are you pregnant?”, Bella asks again innocently.

“ Is Not Bella. Juan explained to her”, Jeni nudged my leg under the table. 

“ Let it go, his name is also a little boy”, I'm cute. Jeni glared at me unhappily. 

“ Ck. No matter what happens, there must be something special. Because besides me no other woman has ever come in and slept here, not even mother. And also the first time I saw the woman who threw a pillow at the head of our beloved CEO and desperately did not want to admit him as a girlfriend. Only you that woman”, Bella said confidently as she pointed towards Jeni.

" me? I won't be charmed by this rude man", Jeni said firmly making me smile cynically.

" Yes, he was very rude. But you guys must be keeping secrets, right? I know that", Bella forced.

Jeni breathed a long sigh of resignation at Bella's thought. He raised his glass towards me and I reflexively poured orange juice into his glass. Jeni immediately gulped it in one breath.

And of course Bella looked at Jeni with sparkling eyes. “ I admire you brother-in-law. Only you made him do such a thing ”. 

“ I'm not your sister-in-law”, Jeni is stubborn. 

I don't know after the debate at the dinner table they've become more familiar. Always whispering and quiet as I pass by. They're conspiring against me. One because he has an old grudge, while one because his request is not granted. 

“ Jeni”, I'm calling from my workspace.

“ Ya”, Jeni replied from outside and ran inside the workspace. 

He stood in front of me waiting. “ Your shop certificate letter is on me”, I said calmly.

His eyes sparkle “ Really? thank you for taking it for me”, Jeni is excited. 

“ Yes both. But I'll hold the letter as collateral if you don't run away from me. Remember the little thief, you have a contract of employment with me”, I lower my voice.

Jeni nodded quickly, then she breathed a sigh of relief. I looked at him in wonder, did he not feel depressed I was holding this letter.

“ You're not angry?”, I ask.

“ No. At least I know you won't treat me as badly as they do. But the question remains, how is the letter in his hands? Didn't you catch that guy?”, Jeni looked at me.

“ No. He immediately ran away when Doni was going to catch him”, I lied without returning his gaze.

He fell silent, then nodded. “ Mr. cocky”, he called me. I looked at him waiting.

“ Thank you very much, you helped me”, she grabbed my hand and held it. 

I stammered “hm”, that's all I could get out of my mouth.

He took my hand and walked out of the room without knowing what he was doing.
