The Beloved Woman of the President

Meetings

The day after the incident in which Lu owed the neighbor, Briana kept quiet. Even at dinner Briana never once reprimanded or answered Lu's question. Briana was still disappointed, she hated what Lu had done yesterday.

“Bri, are you sure you want to keep going to work? You just recovered. Rest first at home,” said Lu worried when he saw Briana who was preparing to leave for the cafe.

There's no answer. Briana silently ignored Lu's words. Although actually Briana's body was still a little weak, she still forced herself to go to work. Too lazy for Briana to continue being around people who have made her feel disappointed. So Briana decided to just go to Julia's cafe so she wouldn't see the face of this idiot guy.

“Briana, I know my attitude yesterday has hurt your feelings. But I did all that because I was so worried about you. Truly, I have absolutely no intention of crossing your life's limits so anti with the help of the hands of others. You have to believe that, Briana,” Lu said as he held Briana's hand as she walked towards the door. “OK it's okay if you're mad at me, I can understand. But please stay home. You're not completely healthy, Briana. I'm afraid your pain will come back if you force yourself to keep working. I'm worried.”

“You can't follow me to Julia's cafe. If you are determined to come there, do not blame me if tonight I will throw you out of this house. Understand?” briana said as she threw out Lu's hand. After that Briana hurriedly walked out of the house, not giving Lu a chance to talk.

After Briana died, Lu just stood still in front of the door while continuing to take a deep breath. Because of the carelessness he did, now Briana became angry like this. Had it been yesterday Lu would have preferred to wake Briana up rather than owe her a neighbor's aunt, their situation would not have been this alien. Want to regret but the rice has already become porridge. After all what Lu did was not entirely wrong. As a person who admired Briana's figure, it was a very natural thing not if Lu felt anxious to see her who was in a high fever. Because of his position of not having a penny, Lu was forced to borrow money to buy medicine. And Lu was sure that if you were in his position back then, you would definitely do the same as well right?

What do I have to do so that Briana doesn't keep quieting me like this? I don't like. Seeing him yell at me and scold me felt so much better than him who kept silent. Quickly think of a way out, Lu. You have to melt Briana's anger as soon as possible so that your relationship can improve again as before. But ... What should I do?

Confused at the thought of a way out, Lu decided to get out of the house. While walking back and forth in front of the house, Lu thought of various ways he could use to temper Briana's anger. And so seriously Lu thought he didn't realize that the neighbors were watching him. This time not only the women's team, but the husband's team also watched Lu who continued to walk around like he was ironing clothes.

“Si water ghost is why yes?”

“Ck, did you not see that Lu was walking around?”

“Jeez, that's what I know too. I mean that's why Lu's attitude looks so weird. And why don't you go to work with Briana. He was left behind or deliberately not invited to leave?”

“Where do I know. I'm not his mother.”

The neighbors were busy guessing this and that while continuing to pay attention to Lu. Because the curiosity in their minds was so great, they then decided to approach Lu alone. Lu who was busy with his mind looked shocked when the neighbors came over. Quickly she joins the husband's team to avoid a truce.

“Lu, tumben once you don't go with Briana. Wh why? You guys quarrel?” asked one of the neighboring aunts with a curious look on his face.

“Briana is angry with me, Bi,” replied Lu honestly. “Because yesterday I was in debt without her permission, Briana won't talk to me anymore. He even forbade me from going to the cafe as usual. She .... is really so mad at me!”

“Indeed the basis yes the fierce girl. You owe it to save his life. Why is he even hostile towards Lu. If I were Briana, I would immediately bow down in gratitude for having a cousin who was willing to owe because I could not bear to wake him who was feverish. Briana really doesn't know herself at all. I'd love to pinch his kidney. Huh!”

“Auntie, please don't curse Briana. I don't like hearing it!” reprimanding Lu felt unacceptable when this neighbor aunt called Briana a self-destructive person.

The whispers of the neighbors began to sound after they saw Lu so firmly defending Briana. Even Lu who saw that could only be silent. After all these people knew that Lu and Briana were cousins, so there was no way they could gossip about something that was not-no. Aren't friends?

“Uncle, Aunt. Can you help me find a way out of this? I really don't feel calm being silenced like this by Briana. He's still sick, I'm afraid at work he'll feel exhausted if nothing helps. You guys want to help me?” asked Lu who finally asked for help from the neighbors. His small brain never found a way out, so he was forced to ask for help from these people.

“Em what kind of help do you need from us, Lu?” ask one of the neighbors. The look on his face showed that he could not bear to see the water ghost pleading for help.

“I want to do something that makes Briana want to talk to me again. Do you have any suggestions?”

At first the neighbors were confused as Lu asked them for advice. Then one of the men's teams proposed that they make an impromptu meeting to determine what kind of help Lu wanted. After that they all crouched in a circle, including Lu. One by one they began to come up with ideas that might melt the anger of Briana. And after going through a heated debate, it was finally decided that Lu would invite Briana to dinner together.

“Well, Lu. Now we have found the way out. For the dinner menu let us decide. You just think about how to decorate your house. Okay?’ said the neighbor's aunt with a big smile.

“But Aunty, I have no money to buy the decoration,” Lu said sadly.

“Do not worry. Here you are not alone. There are all of us ready to help. Yes although we don't like Briana very much, but we can't possibly let you guys continue to be hostile. So you don't worry. Later we will think of a minimal budget way so that Briana does not feel that we are pitying her. Cihhh, that stubborn girl huh. What is so good about having such a principle? He is living in the millennial era where people like us are normal if they want to help each other. Trouble people only!”

“Have not complained continuously. So-so thanks to Briana is also the environment we can the arrival of a handsome man Lu. Right?”

You just quietly listen to the neighbors reply to each other. In his heart, Lu was very happy because his life was surrounded by good people. Now he only needed to think about how to make their plan run smoothly. You really can't stand being ignored like this by Briana.

Hopefully tonight's plan doesn't make Briana even more upset with me. Hmmm, why is my chest pounding like this? Bizarrely.
