The Will of Love

ch 17's. Hepi Besdey Neng Meli

Meli asks Frans to stop her car right at a luxury house gate. Frans watched the gate of the magnificent house from behind his wheel.

"This is your house?" Ask Frans who was amazed. Meli just smiled and thanked me. Then, he rushed down from Frans' car. However, his arm was hurriedly restrained by Frans.

"Wait for Mel.." Her speech. Then, Meli looked at the man with a questioning look.

"Yes?" Ask Meli.

"You have no lover?" Ask Frans again.

Meli fell silent, then removed Frans' hand from her arm.

"I'm first, thank you."

Meli got out of Frans' car and asked the house guards to open the gate for her.

Meli's attitude makes Frans more curious. The indifference and beautiful face of Meli make Frans increasingly fall in love with Meli. He was determined to have that innocent girl.

"I'll get you Mel, anyhow." Mumbled.

Meli stepped into the yard of the house. He saw Aris's car parked in his usual place. With mixed feelings, Meli finally gave herself to open the door of the house.

At that time Meli did not see anyone in the house, Meli was able to breathe with relief. Then, he slowly stepped towards his room, which was right next to Aris's room.

He stared at the door of Aris's room, as he passed through the man's room. He wanted to knock and explain what happened at the restaurant.

But, he broke his intention. Because, he also does not know what Aris will behave like, after an accidental meeting with Meli earlier.

Meli put her foot back in front of her bedroom door. He slowly opened the door of his room, then entered the room.

"Who is he?"

Aris's voice made Meli's heart feel like it would be dislodged. His gaze turned to the sofa under his bedroom window. There Aris was sitting waiting for her.

Meli just fell silent, she did not dare to look into the eyes of Aris who was looking at her with a judgmental look.

"Don't you hear my question..!"

This time Aris's tone of voice began to rise.

"Friends." Answer Meli slowly.

"Friends? just two? in a restaurant like that?" Asked Aris with a cynical look.

"Yes, he's just a friend" Meli said.

"Ck, man,"

Aris smiled cynically.

"The car was broken on the road. So, I was confused as to how. Then, Frans happened to pass by and offered to help. In the middle of the street Frans invited me to eat and I didn't feel good about refusing it."

Meli tries to explain the truth to Frans.

"She helped you or asked you out?"

Aris kept asking cynical questions. Which makes Meli feel even more guilty.

"What else do I have to say? to make me believe?" Meli asked in despair.

Aris moved from her seat. Then, approached Meli who was still standing in front of the door of her room.

Aris grabbed Meli's chin with her index finger.

"Retno misjudged you," he said slowly withstanding emotions. Meli's eyes widened, not accepting what Aris said.

"It's all a misunderstanding." Said Meli, who tried to keep explaining.

However, Aris paid no heed to it. Then, he moved away from Meli and was about to get out of Meli's room.

"Keep who that woman is! do I have the right to misunderstand?" Ask Meli.

Aris's footsteps were restrained. He looked over and looked at Meli in disbelief.

"You mean?"

"Yes, Alisa. Why is he kissing Mas' cheek? Why would Mas be alone with him in a restaurant like that? Do you have a special relationship?"

Meli's question made Aris' emotions began to be unable to be contained.

"I misjudged you Mr. Aris, too" Meli said with emotion.

Now, there is no longer Meli who is always afraid when talking to Aris. Right now, there was only Meli who was full of emotions and ready to fight Aris.

Aris was flabbergasted in disbelief hearing Meli's words. Then, he left Meli and slammed the door of Meli's room violently.

That night was the most tense night Meli had ever felt in that house. He doesn't know what he's feeling. What is clear, he felt dislike when he saw Aris sitting together with Alisya and saw Aris' cheek in a friendly kiss by the woman. It felt anger and hate controlling his heart.

Aris went into his room. Then, slammed the door of his room in annoyance.

"May he speak like that to me" said Aris, furious.

He did not understand why he was so angry when Meli with other men. He felt like he was being betrayed by Meli. And he was upset because Meli accused him of having a special relationship with Alisya.

Aris was pensive on his bed, anger still controlling his heart. He was really suspicious that Frans and Meli had a special relationship and that suspicion kept him from feeling calm.

"Thighhhh..! I'd go crazy like this, I'd have to keep an eye on them." His determination.

...

Early in the morning, Bik Parni and Kang Jaja were busy preparing their cake for Meli's birthday.

Some time ago, before Meli legally became Aris' wife, Jaja once asked Meli about Meli's birthday. Not to forget, Jaja recorded it on her cellphone and set an alarm for her reminder on Meli's birthday.

Meli is 20 years old today. Meli had just finished dressing up to leave for college in the morning. Before he left, he always met and said goodbye to Bik Parni in the kitchen.

Just as Meli reached the kitchen, she was greeted by Bik Parni and Kang Jaja.

"hepi besdey Neng" said Kang Jaja. Then, Kang Jaja approached Meli and wanted to hug Meli.

Seeing that, Bik Parni immediately pulled Jaja's collar from behind.

"Eeee, eeee,eeee.. It's rude of you Ja..!"

Bik Parni said with annoyance.

"Yes, sorry." Say Jaja while rolling up the edge of his shirt.

"Mrs, happy birthday. May a long, healthy life always and...."

Bik Parni stopped her speech.

"And what bik?" Ask Meli gently.

"And always get along with the Master." Connect Bik Parni.

Meli instantly fell silent and lowered her face.

"Sorry Neng, but Bibik's hope is earnest. Bibik kepengen Neng same Tuan became a husband and wife who really neng. One room loves each other. Keep having kids." Say Bik Parni again.

While Jaja immediately poked Bik Parni hinted for Bik Parni to stop talking.

Meli smiled then thanked Bik Parni and Kang Jaja. Then Meli hugged Bik Parni tightly.

"What's this?"

A heavy and cold voice sounded from the kitchen door.

"Eh sir, I have prepared breakfast." Say Bik Parni while carrying a plate of fruit salad and a glass of healthy juice that he made specifically for Aris.

"What am I asking?" Ask Aris again.

While Meli was still affected by the emotions of the argument last night, she did not want to look at Aris. Not even a glance.

"Anu Tuan, Neng Meli.. Madam's birthday." Jaja tried to explain.

"Year date?" Ask Aris.

"Yes, sir, the 20th." Sahut Bik Parni's.

Suddenly, Aris felt ridiculous. Why his assistant knows more about his wife than himself. Then, Aris went to the dining room.

Not long after, while Aris was having breakfast, he saw Meli just passing in front of him. Without greeting himself let alone saying goodbye to him.

Aris was even more anxious to see Meli's indifferent attitude to him.
