I just kept quiet along the way until we arrived at our office, where we were going to have a celebration party for the launch of our novel platform app.
But my mood was so bad, Ruby's words kept me feeling uneasy. I don't like it... I really didn't like the fear he put on me until I wanted to cry again.
"We postpone the party tomorrow, I'll tell the others let them go out to eat" said Juna approaching me who is currently in the kitchen office.
Thinking about Ruby...
I sighed and tried to smile but as soon as I looked straight into Juna's eyes, my tears immediately dripped. It seems that I am used to expressing my heartache to her so much that I cannot really hide my wounds to her.
To the man who sincerely wished for my love but I just looked at him as my seat without ever being able to reciprocate his feelings.
I was selfish ....
Juna did not say anything, he pulled my body into his arms and hugged it tightly.
"Is it still sick? You still can't forgive them? It's okay, Jasmine... You have a right to whatever your attitude is to them."
"I feel so bad, brother... I feel bad... Was my anger overboard all this time? Has my attitude been outrageous all along?" asking me who still could not let go of her embrace, I raised my gaze and looked at Juna, the gentle man who had always been by my side all this time.
"I even feel evil because I still can't fall in love with big brother... Why am I this bad? Sorry sis... I'm sorry."
Juna clutched me even tighter, I knew he was hiding his currently injured expression once again because of me.
"I don't know how to live my life right now... They tied... They made it hard for me to get away from them. How am I supposed to? How can I be completely detached from them, brother?"
"Benefit me, Jasmine... Make me a tool, whatever it is you feel better. I'll take it without regret."
I slowly let go of Juna's embrace and looked at her who was now looking at me so deeply. "Marry me, Jasmine and forget them completely."
"You know I don't love you, I'm just gonna hurt you..."
Juna smiled, he then kissed my forehead gently. I could feel it, the affection he channeled through that warm kiss. "Whatever hurt you give, I'll repay you more with the different love you've known. Just give me a little gap, I will infiltrate gently even if it takes a little time. I'll be patient..."
My tears came back, I hugged Juna so tightly. "I'm sorry, Brother Juna... Sorry I used you... Sorry..."
"Thank you... You must use me well."
I nodded my head, I could feel Juna's body grabbing me warmly and so tightly. The warmth that reaches into my fragile heart.
"Let's get married, brother..."
"Yes, let's get married, Jasmine. I promise I'll make you rediscover your happiness..."
Juna slowly let go of my embrace, she wiped my tears and smiled, a smile that made me smile too and after that she pulled something out of her pocket.
"I have to keep your promise, right?"
"God, how come there's a ring in your pocket?" I was surprised to see the diamond-studded ring in his hand.
"I take her every time I see you because I'm sure one day you'll definitely accept my proposal" she replied, pinning the ring on my ring finger.
"We meet every day, right?" I said, not expecting the ring to fit on my finger.
"Yes, I bring it every day."
"Geez, you are so persistent!"
"Where do I love you so much..."
Maybe it's time for me to open my heart to him and forget how I feel about Gibran.
I then pulled out Juna's shirt and made the man bend over a little so I could kiss her cheeks short.
"Don't ask for more, later if we're officially married" I said after successfully making Juna freeze because of my actions.

I really don't understand how God set my life line because today I met again with Ruby and Gibran, unfortunately I was not with Juna because he had an important meeting while I had to attend a different meeting with him.
"I think we're really stupid!" Ruby looked so happy to see me, she quickly approached me before I could actually escape from her.
Without the slightest awkwardness, Ruby held my arm, it was like going back to the old school days because Ruby was very happy to be in my arms.
"Where's my brother from?"
I glanced cynically when Ruby called me sister, it seemed like this woman had forgotten that I still could not accept her as my sister.
"Meeting." I answered briefly while trying to take my hand off but Ruby held me too tightly, I was afraid that my hand would nudge that big belly so I could only surrender now and let it clutch my arm while Gibran stepped next to it without saying anything. He was like a mute man who never greeted me, but I was his brother-in-law, right?
Forget that! I think I'm a little crazy right now!
"What kind of work?" ruby asked who kept taking me steps with her into the baby supply store.
"Editor.." I answered lazily once more.
"Cool! Previously brother was his dream to be a writer, now even become an editor must be a lot of famous novels that have passed the selection of older brother huh?"
"Hum..."
"Where are you going now?"
"Go home..."
"Can it be noon?"
"My work is flexible."
"Cool! If so, I shop... I crave this pingin at the same shopping table brother, all buyin ya..."
"Your husband can't afford it?" I deliberately insinuated Gibran and made Gibran glare in annoyance at me but I replied by twisting both balls of my eyes a sign of indifference.
"Could..."
"Yes asked to buy it with him!"
"No way, I want a brother who boughtin! Yep... Yep... It's the same time that nephews can't be stingy..."
I can only sigh in annoyance, since long ago I always lost when facing Ruby who was in sweet mode like this.
"Have bought it..."
"Asik!!! Thanks my lovely sister!"
Ruby then pulled me to choose a lot of brightly colored clothes but mostly pink, it looks like her son will be a woman. I'm a little curious whose face will look like who...
Oh my God, my mind is floating! What the hell happened to me? I'm obviously still angry with her but I've kept up with all of Ruby's wishes, which led me to spend a lot of my time with her and Gibran, who hasn't spoken at all, she was like a ghost suddenly I wanted to laugh but I held her back.
"It's.." I and Gibran accidentally touched the same shirt. Ruby was stunned for a moment, maybe she would get angry because of jealousy but my guess was wrong because she instead smiled and took the shirt.
"Great taste!" he said as he stepped away, leaving me and Gibran alone but not for long because Gibran immediately pursued Ruby's steps and left me.
I can still feel the pain even that jealousy, just not as bad as it used to be. Is it because I started doing everything?
They look happy...
Should I be happy?
