My relationship with Hengky has become increasingly uncomfortable for me. Not only because he came to pick me up forcibly while he was with Shinta at the Coffee Shop at the time but his overprotective nature made me even more miserable.
I kept thinking, how could I who had been so restrained at home and went to find freedom outside the house but was again trapped in the bridle by it?
Am I being too stupid or am I volunteering to have a torturous relationship?
Hengky really expressed his affection in a way that left me tormented.
Indeed nothing had changed with his attitude as he desperately chased after me just now.
It stays the same.
He still sends me food all of a sudden, he still respects me so much by not touching me carelessly, he is also very romantic in front of people, he said, it was as if he had told everyone he met that I was his and he was proud of it.
But I have every right to decide for my life. I have the right to wear clothes that I like, make up models that I want to try, or share any photo that I find funny on my social media account.
And all that I couldn't do these last few months. Hengky arranged everything. My social media accounts, how I dress up my make up model.
The first three months were all fine, he began to show his overprotective nature in these past two months.
His reason? He said he didn't want me to be liked by anyone other than him.
At first I responded to him normally. But over time this gave me a headache.
“Naahh.. if you think gini kaan more beautiful, dear...” Hengky smiled broadly at me as I entered his car.
Hengky invited me to visit his cousin who was married at that time and he did not attend. Since I am responsible for his absence, I agree with his invitation.
You guys wanna know?
I have sent three photos of my clothes complete with pairs of shoes and hijab to Hengky.
And three of them he refused.
The clothes I was wearing right now were the fifth clothes I tried and approved by him.
Thank goodness he agreed, because otherwise I would rather not go along than have to unpack more in the closet.
“I really like you to wear this black dress and white pashmina hijab, honey. Oh yes, let me see your shoes..”.
I raised my dress a little so that Hengky can see my shoes, “High white heels and white bags, as your suggestion.”.
A wide smile adorned his lips. He stroked my head, “Please you already want to hear my advice..”
“Addiction?”
“Iya doong... You don't have to do what I want?”
“Humm... Yes...” I replied ogah-ogahan.
Again he smiled.
His left hand held my hand, “Sleep if you sleep... We are still two hours away from our trip, I will wake up when it reaches”
I nodded and positioned my seat back, preparing to close my eyes.
...----------------------------------------------------...
The journey took more than two hours. I blinked my eyes as I stroked Hengky, saying that we had reached his cousin's house.
I hurriedly grabbed my bag, checked my makeup, confirmed the hijab and then re-adorned the nude lipstick onto my lips.
“You are already beautiful, dear..”.
I smiled in response to his words.
It's the first time I've met brother Hengky, I don't want to embarrass him.
My eyes widened as I stared at the house in front of me. Just like a house that has always been the residence of conglomerates on TV.
I know that the Hengky family is indeed a family of businessmen who are quite distinguished, it's just that I didn't expect if it included his entire extended family.
“Kok even dumb, let's go masuuk..”
I quickly returned to myself. As I said earlier, I cannot humiliate Hengky.
When the door opened, we were greeted by Cousin Hengky who had just gotten married.
The house is crowded, it seems to coincide with family events.
“All family events, Nay.” Bengky whispered as if he knew what I was thinking
It was like I was in a stranger's neighborhood. All their faces are almost the same.
Tall body, white skin, narrowed eyes. Just a Korean. I wouldn't be surprised if they are currently chatting in Korean, their faces look alike.
“Oh... so this is Naya, who managed to steal Aunty's heart...”.
A woman who was quite young, gray hair mixed in black, and a very pretty face smiled at me.
“Known, it's Mami me..” Hengky smiled sweetly at her Mami then hugged her tightly.
“What time was the landing of the plane, Mih?”
Right now I'm a little surprised by Hengky's relationship with his mother,
Why did Hengky ask like that?
Doesn't her mother live with her?
But I locked my mouth tightly.
If Hengky hadn't told me, it might have been something I didn't need to know.
“As usual..” Hengky smiled cynically.
“Halo, Beautiful..” Hengky's mother smiled back at me, thinking of Hengky's words as the wind
I nodded politely as I reached out, kissing her hand,
“How are you, Aunt..?” Ask kindly
“Good news, Dear... What time did Hengky leave? Can it get stuck not on the road?” Hengky's mother pulled my hand, asking me to sit next to her.
“Let's ten o'clock, Aunt... Smoothly on his journey..” Answer's short.
I'm not very confident right now. Seeing the beautiful mother Hengky amazing makes me inferior.
I was so easy to feel insecure when I saw the beautiful woman in front of me.
And at this moment almost all the women in this room face the same as his Mother Hengky, beautiful enchanting.
“Naya mah did not know it was jammed or not, Mih... He slept earlier..” Hengky nudged my hand while laughing
I returned his laughter with a stiff smile.
As if knowing how I felt, Hengky pulled my hand, asking me to stand up,
“I want to know Naya with other brothers yes, Mih.”.
“Ih, Naya just sat down, son..”
“Nantiii can chat againiii..”
Hengky grabbed my shoulder and put her lips closer to my right ear, whispering softly, “You are beautiful, dear. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever known.”.
I smile. His words sound sincere. My heart felt calmer after hearing his words.
“Hey...hey! look whoa this is.”.
Hengky laughed, he embraced a man in front of him, “My Bro...”
“So, finally this can conquer the heart of a Hengky Nugroho.?” The man glanced at me while laughing.
“Ah, yes... Finally..” Hengky held my hand and smiled, “Kenalin, this is my Uncle.”.
“Uncle who is always considered her same friend!” He laughed again, holding out his hand.
I welcome his hand out with a smile, “Hengky always considers everyone as his friend yes, Om..”
"Ooh not everyone, the proof is that you are not considered his friend,” He stopped his sentence, glanced at Hengky with a ignorant gaze, ”Taapii his loveraa.!”
He continued his words while laughing.
He seems to be the kind of guy who likes to laugh.
Hengky and I laughed along, saying, returning the joke.
“How are you Om, Hengky, and....Naya..?”
The deg!
My blood stopped flowing.
I remember this voice out of my head.
No. gabe. Not likely.
I must be hallucinating right now.
My eyes were fixed on the male figure in front of me.
He smiled and then thrust his hand at me, “For a long time no see, Naya.?”
I froze.
Cold sweat poured down my palm.
Hengky turned his head towards me, his jaw hardened, clearly he knew I was shocked to death to see this male figure in front of me.
“Not you said you couldn't come?!” Hengky pulled my hand, hiding my body behind his back.
“It was, but after I heard the news that a Hengky Nugroho wanted to introduce his First Girlfriend, I became interested in coming. Look who's in front of me now... Naya Khairunnisa.
Hengky turned her body, grabbed my hand and looked me in the eye, forcing me to focus on looking at her,
“Nay, Sorry..
“Oh, you haven't told me that I'm your Cousin's Brother, Ky?”
The man cut off Hengky's sentence.
Regardless of what he said, Hengky kept trying to distract me, forcing me to be calm.
"Where's this? Surely Naya was shocked to death to see me here”
The man walked closer to me, he lowered his head, positioned his head parallel to my height then smiled sweetly, “Surprise..!”.
“Lack of you, Andy!!”
Hengky pushed Andy's body backwards. His breath hunting, looks once anger caress him.
While I remained frozen in my place. No matter the crowd trying to separate Andy and Hengky who were fighting behind me.
My head was suddenly dizzy, my vision blurred and I could not remember anything else.
