Title: My Brother's girlfriend (Part 2)

_________________________

I heard a cell phone ringing. I put the cell phone on the bedside table last night. On the phone screen is the name Vira.

'Hello Vir. What's the matter early in the morning, elo call me?' without getting out of the soft mattress and even keeping my eyes closed, I picked up the phone.

'What did elo say?! Morning?!' a loud crashing sound sounded like a loudspeaker in the middle of my drowsiness. 'Oh my God, what time is it? Elo forgot if today we have a repeat of Mr. Purwa! Lecturers are floundering on campus!' His voice continued to echo across.

'That's gonna be a good hour.. Aaaargggh…!' my hysterical screams as soon as I saw the clock working on the table showing the half-eleven hour.

'How's non? Already conscious now? Take a shower and get ready for college. If you don't want to repeat next year.'

As soon as the phone closed I immediately pulled my body into a sitting position. Shocked because the bad luck has not disappeared, now plus a new shock. I stared in wonder at the room I occupied. This isn't my room. A piece of memory began to neatly arrange itself in my head. Suddenly I screamed.

'Oh my! So I slept here last night?! With Juno?!' once said the name Juno, whose name is directly nongol from the bathroom.

'Oh you're awake.' There was a flat tone in Juno's mouth. There was no expression on his face.

Instantly I pulled out a blanket to cover my body and peered whether my clothes were still complete or not. There was a sigh of relief when I knew my clothes were still complete, and I did not feel any change in myself.

'Just relax. You were okay last night. I slept on the couch last night. You better take a shower. I heard you have a repeat today? And you don't want to be late, do you?'

I got up and ran to the bathroom. Ten minutes later I came out with a fresh face, rather than a crumpled face after waking up.

'This.' Juno threw a blue blouse and a tulip-flowering skirt at me. 'Wear that. After that I'll take you to college. I'll wait in the lobby.' After finishing his last sentence, Juno went out and closed the door.

I stared for a moment.

Is she really Juno Azka's lover? Is he really Juno? Is it really Juno that I secretly love? If he's Juno's right, but why is his attitude different than usual? He looks more attentive now. Geez Zhil, what the hell are you thinking? He's your own brother's guy.

I rushed to the bathroom to change into more appropriate clothes to campus rather than a white dress that looked more casual. Finished changing clothes, I rushed to meet Juno who was waiting in the lobby. When I saw her coming, she smiled sweetly at me. When I saw that man's smile, I felt a huge wind blowing towards me. Makes my body shake almost up and the heart beats uncomfortably.

In the car we didn't talk much. Just outside of the hotel, Juno returns to the careless Juno. I was so uncomfortable to see his stupid attitude. And I miss the warm and friendly attitude I had at the hotel.

'I wonder what you'd say to Azka if she knew of this incident.' I opened the conversation. He remained silent and focused on the steering wheel.

'I don't want Azka to think anything non-no about me. Especially if I am his sister.' I continued, and the man still remained silent.

I started to lose my patience. I choose silence instead of talking with a living statue. For fifteen minutes we were like people who didn't know each other. We were quiet and busy with each other's thoughts. Arriving at the college, I got off Juno's car and darted away as soon as I thanked her.

—

A loud and boisterous voice filled the living room. Azka and Juno's engagement was prepared by mom and dad. The proof, the decoration of the room looks luxurious and many guests are invited. I felt wry to go down. Half an hour later the engagement will begin. And I was just lounging in my room. Already since noon I locked myself and slept on the bed, without intending to go down. Sometimes Ijah knocked on the door and brought me some juice. She said the mother told her. Well really mama, usually just inget the same Azka.

This time I heard a knock on the door. At best Ijah brought food. I did not get out of my sleep I kept my eyes closed with drowsiness.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

I heard knocking on the door again.

'Enter Bik. The door is not locked.' My exclamation is still closed.

The sound of the door opening.

'Just put it on the table, Bik.' My excitement is still closed and do not look at Ijah's bik.

No sound was heard. Maybe Ijah's already out. But, the next second, the statement was refuted with a soft caress in my head. Spontaneously I opened my two eyelids and pulled my body into a sitting position. I was stunned to see Juno sitting on the edge of the bed while looking at me.

'June.' The first word that came out of my mouth. 'What are you doing here?'

'Are you going to keep lounging here? While the guests have arrived.' Juno's soft voice, like a light shining through the darkness in my room.

I put my body back on the bed. Hugged the bolster pillow and turned her back to Juno.

'What am I going down for? Nobody cares about me anyway.' My nadaku sounds cranky.

'Did you have the heart to let your sister be sad because of your absence?'

'You're wrong, Zhil. Someone cares about you. And today it is precisely you who will be the center of everyone's attention…'

'Center people's attention for being embarrassing!'

'Zhila! Wakeup!' Juno began to get annoyed at my attitude and my sniffling voice.

But he did not realize, a single tear had flowed, soaking up the untreatable wound. 'Stupid! Come awake!' I pulled my arm up to my body in a sitting position. He was immediately stunned, as he looked into my eyes that had been soaked by tears.

His hand extended to my cheek and wiped away the tears that had already flowed without me being able to prevent. My mouth was gritted for a long time. Our eyes clashed with each other. I felt a soft sigh creeping into my body. It was as if we were speaking in the language of the heart.

My tears kept flowing, even more so.

I really can't stand my feelings anymore. I embrace Juno's body. No reaction from that man. He let me cry in his arms. His hand gently caressed my head.

'Why are you so mean to me?' in the middle of my sobs. 'Do you know how much pain I have withstood that feeling that torments me so much?' the more I hugged him. Not wanting to get out of his arms. 'Honestly, I love you so much.' I felt regret in my heart for saying those words. And there was still no response from Juno. 'And I don't want you to get engaged to Azka.' I was stunned when Juno pushed my body and looked at me fixedly.

'What did you say? Engaged to Azka? Me?' ask with a stressed tone.

I looked at him, not answering his question. 'Ha. ha. ha. ha.' came Juno's light laughter, echoing through the air.

'Why are you laughing?' my murmur.

'Oh my goodness, Zhil. You're this.' Juno stopped his words. He did not finish his sentence, because it was not strong to hold his laughter until his eyes water. 'You don't know, what a fool?' His heavy hands were shredding my hair.

'What do you mean I'm stupid.' I growled by glaring at my eyes and tracing my waist.

'Listen yes, STUPID Zhila, it's true Azka will get engaged. But that's with Yoga. Not with me.'

Juno laughed out loud as soon as she saw the expression on my face with reddened cheeks.

'So Azka is getting engaged to Yoga? Then Azka betrayed you?'

'Who said he betrayed me?'

'Lho haven't you and Azka been dating all this time? And now Azka is engaged to Yoga! Then they both betrayed you.'

Juno's hands again ruffled my hair and laughed even louder than before.

'Stupid! You idiot! Who said Azka and I were dating? He asked me to help him approach Yoga. And I asked her for help to get her brother.'

I gawked in shock, hearing Juno's words.

Juno put her face closer to mine. In the next second, I felt warm and soft lips kiss my forehead.

'Well, you're the one I love. Not your sister.' Juno said which instantly made my body limp. Juno grabbed my body into his chest.

'So you don't love my sister?' manyu tease.

'No.' His leg shakes.

'And you're not dating my sister?'

'Also, no.' Juno shook his head again.

I hugged Juno's field chest tightly.

'So, now you take a shower and we go down. You do not want to be late to watch your sister's engagement and also do not want to miss to catch up with the engagement. Your mom and dad are waiting for us.'

'What..' Before I finished protesting, Juno carried my body and took me to the bathroom.

'A clean bath and a beautiful dress.' He closed the bathroom door.'

After the shower, I was immediately treated by a make-up stylist. I chose to wear a white dress, my favorite color. Once in the make-up over, I went straight down.

I feel happy. It turns out that my feelings of love don't clap one hand. Because Juno loves me too. All this time he knew I loved him. But I was annoyed with her, because she was deliberately making out with Azka to make me jealous. And everything he did was enough to make me jealous, almost to kill the feeling of love entrenched in my heart.
