The Will of Love

ch 16's. Misunderstand

Frans parked his vehicle at a restaurant. Then, he invited Meli to follow him into the restaurant.

With hesitation, Meli followed Frans into the restaurant.

The two of them, sitting in a special chair that is only provided for two people.

After ordering food, Frans began to ask a lot about Meli.

However, the girl still felt uncomfortable because only this time she was sitting alone with another man besides Aris.

Meli begins to get bored with Frans's questions. Meli, too, shifted her eyes around the restaurant.

This restaurant is quite comfortable and luxurious, with a Dutch theme. I enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere in the restaurant.

Accidentally, his eyes were fixed on the two people who were busy chatting. He felt like he knew a man sitting alone with a beautiful woman in the middle of the restaurant room. Meli tried to make sure once again with what she saw.

"Ma-Mas Aris..?" He murmured in the heart.

His heart immediately beat fast. Either because of fear Aris saw him with the frans, or because he caught Aris who was busy chatting with other women.

Because of his grooves, Meli accidentally nudged the glass in front of him and the glass fell to the floor and broke.

The noise of the broken glass invited everyone to turn to the source of the sound, Aris was no exception.

Aris's eyes immediately widened to see Meli who was sitting across there with a young man. Meli looked at Aris wrongly.

Aris stood up from her seat, she was eager to get to Meli and dragged the girl home.

"Ah.. That's Frans my nephew,"

Alisya's words successfully make Aris resist his wishes.

"With the girls again, you young man. The girl keeps changing. But, this one looks like a good boy." Chirp Alisya again, with a small laugh.

"Franss..!" Call Alisya.

Frans, who was helping to wipe Meli's wet arm from the water, turned his head.

"Alicia Aunt?" Mumbled.

"We moved there.."

Without Meli's consent, Frans pulls the girl's arm. Then, the two of them approached Alisya and Aris who were sitting not far from their seats.

Inevitably, Meli was forced to follow Frans. His eyes continued to look at Aris's eyes which looked angry.

"Hi Auntie, how are you?" Greet Frans kindly, to Alisya.

"Hi Frans is a handsome aunt's nephew, good aunt's news, how are you?"

Alisya kissed Frans' left and right cheeks.

While Meli just stood with her head down behind Frans.

"Well Dong Aunty.., this is familiar, Meli"

Frans drew Meli's hand closer to Aris and Alisya's table.

"Me-Meli." Said Meli slowly.

"Alisa."

Alisya shook Meli's hand, then she smiled at Frans.

"You're yeah, you really, you can get a pretty girl like this." Said Alisya while hitting Frans' arm slowly.

"Aunty could have."

Frans looks wrong.

"Oh yeah, this is Aris." Alisya.

Aris, too, stood up and shook Frans' hand tightly.

"Aris." Said cold.

Then, Aris extended her hand in front of Meli. With hesitation, Meli welcomed Aris' hand.

"Aris."

"Well, then have fun Om, Auntie, Frans not good to bother."

Frans glanced at Alisya and Alisya, smiling and nodding. Frans and Meli went back to their table.

While Aris continued to look at Frans and Meli with eyes that began to turn red.

"That's my niece, that's handsome. Bandel nyaaaa pardon hahahahaa..! My mother was my first brother. Often the same story me, Frans often change girls. Young people today. Can't see the slightest thing."

Alisya's story is at length about Frans. Aris was suddenly fed up. Then, he quickly finished his coffee and got out of his seat.

"Ok, I'm going home first huh, nice to meet you Lis."

"Well, what's the rush?"

Alisya, too, moved from her seat.

"There's a problem I have to solve." Said Aris with her cold face, while glancing at Meli and Frans who were sitting together on their bench.

Aris clenched both her hands furiously.

"Oh, Ok, then, when can we go out together again?" Alisya asked with a pleading face.

"Go get Lis." Replied Aris while once again glancing at Meli and Frans' table.

Unexpectedly, Alisya immediately kissed Aris' left cheek. Aris was in disbelief.

"I'm still missing, I wish you had time for me" Alisya said, whispering in Aris' ear.

Aris just smiled, then left the restaurant, followed by Alisya behind him. Alisya waved her hand at Frans and Meli from afar.

Meli sees Alisya kissing Aris, her heart pounding very fast. He doesn't know what he's feeling. Between fear, emotion, jealousy, and confusion. However, Meli could only be silent.

"Oh.it was apparently Aunt Alisya's lover, after all" Frans said as he cut the meat of his steak.

"To-lover..??" Tanya Meli was curious.

"Yes, my aunt has been left by her husband because she died. So, it's been a long time alone. Just this time I saw Auntie with another man and kissed him on the cheek like that."

Hearing Frans' explanation, made Meli's chest feel tight.

"Let's eat the steak, it'll be cold." Said Frans, and Meli nodded.

As they ate together, Frans continued to babble and asked Meli a lot. Which makes the girl feel very bored, added his mind about Aris who will certainly be angry and waiting for him at home as usual.

Almost all of Frans' words and stories are not listened to by Meli. He continued to drown in his questions and his fear.

He is really afraid of facing Aris at home and he also wonders if Aris really has a special relationship with Alisya.

If Aris and Alisya have a relationship, then what is the use of him for Aris?.

Suddenly Meli became sad, now she felt being dabbled by Aris. But does he deserve to be angry with Aris? While he was only a wife who was forced to marry Aris because of entangled will of Retno.

After finishing eating, Meli invited Frans not to linger in the restaurant. His premonition was already bad, he just wanted to go home and meet with Aris to discuss this all.

"Why rush?" Ask Frans to Meli.

"We're done eating, so what are you waiting for?" Meli Firmly.

"But I still want to sit with you Mel.."

"Frans.., I have a sudden business to do. So, we go home."

"But Mel.."

"I can go home in a taxi, thanks for the help and the treat." Meli Say. Then, he got up from his seat and went out of the restaurant.

Seeing Meli leave, Frans rushed after Meli.

"Mel, I'll take you home for a minute I'll pay the bill first."

Frans held Meli's hand and Meli could only resign and wait for Frans to pay the bill at the restaurant.
