The CEO's Beloved Sister

Chapter 18 (Misunderstanding)

Day after day passed with the same mood. Melisa sat pensively in the corner of her room, but this time she really felt alone.

Usually under any circumstances there is his brother who always embrace with affection. There is also her husband who always supports even if only through a short message on his cellphone. But he felt so much change was happening to Kevin and Alan. Kevin who always comes home late on the grounds that he is doing college work, while Alan is busy with office work and spends more time with his girlfriend. Despite being ill, Alan still works from home. Yeah, that's what Melisa's feeling right now.

It's been three weeks that Sofia's been living in this house. He feels Alan's attention and affection are only poured out for Sofia. Whether it was just his feelings, or indeed because of their busyness that makes rarely greeting. This creates a distance between her and those she cares about.

"Tomorrow who's coming to my school?" On the sidelines of breakfast Melisa asked her brother.

"What events do you have to attend school for?" Alan asked while thrusting the bread he had just smeared with jam to Sofia. It made Melisa feel more and more unconcerned.

"Take the report card for the results of the first semester."

"Oh yeah, you've had a test? when?"

" A week ago."

"I'm sorry you didn't know you had a test. Kevin, please take you later, today until tomorrow my schedule is very tight. You know I haven't been to the office for three weeks? I have a lot to take care of later."

"Okay, I'm not too busy today either. My script is almost done, too."

Melisa was silent, Alan had never been absent if there was any airing from school. She felt all the changes that had happened to her brother were because of Sofia. Somehow he felt jealous because his brother was more attentive to his lover.

After breakfast was over, they were already prepared with their respective goals.

Kevin takes Melisa to school. Along the way Melisa was more silent. Kevin thought he was silent because he was still thinking about Farhan who was still a fugitive.

"Not too much thought." Grasping Melisa's hand with her left hand, while her right hand is focused on holding the steering wheel of the car they are riding in.

Melisa chose to answer him with just a smile.

In a different place, Alan drove his vehicle to Yong Ju Group. Sofia who was sitting next to him seemed hesitant to ask.

"Emm, can I ask you something?"

"Of course, do you want to ask me when I proposed to you?" Smiling at the pedal.

"Don't you freak out." Sofia replied annoyed.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Emm, that, I noticed you're a little different. I mean your attitude towards Melisa. Are you guys having any problems?"

"Oh, about that. I'm just giving a little space to Melisa and Kevin. I realized they loved each other. I believe Melisa will be happy and safe with Kevin. For that I keep a little distance, so that they have room to channel their feelings."

"You're right, you've been sticking with your sister all along. If so, when will there be time for the two of them."

***

The break bell rings. Melisa took her foot to the library, but not to read a book. The goal is to find a calm atmosphere. Far from the noise created by other students.

Aldo who accidentally saw him also walked over to the person he admired so much. More precisely loved.

"Hi Mel, just be alone."

"Hi Al."

"The spy answered her." Pinched Melisa's arm with the intention of comforting her. From the look on her face, Melisa did not look well.

"What the hell is Al. Sick tau." Shake Aldo's hand.

"Part of you, everywhere if the perbus is the purpose of reading a book, or looking for a book. This is you daydreaming."

"Think what? Think of me, yeah, say me."

"Dihh, pede level god yes you. I was thinking again, how to nyomblangin you same Chika. Haha..." Melisa ran away from Aldo. Aldo is chasing Melisa. They ran around the field regardless of the people around them.

Chika is the girl who chases Aldo. He has expressed love for Aldo three times, but has always been rejected. And if he shoots him for the fourth time, Aldo will really feel good about him.

"Because of you." Aldo has captured Melisa. They laughed and walked to class because the break was almost over.

"Al, thank you for making me laugh today."

"It's okay. Just so you're happy." Smile sincerely at Melisa.

The closeness between them raises rumors at school. They think Aldo and Melisa have a feeling. Not even a few students thought they were dating. But in reality, Melisa only considers Aldo a friend. He was grateful to have a friend who always managed to make him laugh and momentarily forget all the problems he had in his heart. But alas, Aldo considered the closeness between them because Melisa gave him the green light. She feels Melisa also has the same taste and gives her the opportunity to be more than just a friend.

The time to go home from school arrived. Melisa takes her foot to the school gate with enthusiasm, hoping Kevin picks her up. But how disappointed when he saw his personal driver.

Melisa's looking for her phone in the bag. He wants to contact Kevin.

"Hello, sis. Why not pick it up? He said he wasn't too busy."

"Sorry dear, today the driver first picked you up. I have a college assignment to do."

"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning if you didn't pick up?" Reply with annoyance.

"Sorry, honey, actually, just picked it up. But Maya calls if she has time now."

"Wait, what does this have to do with Maya's sister?"

"Me and Maya are a team. We need to get this done before Saturday."

"Just the two of you?"

"No, we've got four guys on one team."

Hearing that answer there was relief in Melisa's heart. She knows Maya doesn't like her relationship with Kevin. I don't know why there's a worry that someday Maya will try to separate her from Kevin.

Arriving at home, Melisa does not know what to do. Again he felt lonely.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Three hours passed.

Melisa was still sitting in the living room doing nothing. Time shows at seven. There was no sign of Kevin or Alan.

"Miss, dinner's ready."

"Yes bik, later."

"Sorry lady, don't delay it later. Mr. Alan told me to make sure the lady ate and took the medicine right now. If I am going to be punished."

"Yes, calm down." Melisa walked towards the dining table lazily. But he did not want to trouble the person in front of him. The housekeeper will be in trouble if he does not eat and take medication on time.

After he finished eating, he walked into the room and cried as he would. He longs for the warmth of family as he once did.

Seriate...
