Trapping the Mate

MJ - The Arrival of Imel

Giselle kept daydreaming all the way home from the hospital. All this time he just lived fun. Spend the pocket money given by his father, enjoy almost all the entertainment in every corner of Jakarta. If not for the case that befell his father, now surely Giselle has been used to go out and out of the night club for fun. Can he be called lucky because his father's case happened when Giselle had not fallen into the night world of the capital?

During this time Giselle had never been close to any man, she was only occasionally attracted to the handsome men around her. But dating? never been at all. Come to think of it, he didn't have many friends either, now he suddenly wondered, did he used to be so annoying?

Giselle sighed and then threw a glance out the window of the taxi she was riding in. When his condition is not okay, suddenly appeared Galendra who just entered his life.

He's a good guy. Of course , everyone knows it. Be her lover? Giselle did not dare to be that confident, even though Galendra had openly expressed her feelings.

Giselle exits as the taxi stops right in front of her house. His steps slowed as his eyes caught a white sedan parked not far from the fence.

Are there any guests? Both Giselle and Cleopatra hardly ever received any guests, as they both had no friends here. Except Galendra of course.

Neighbor's guest? That makes more sense.

Just as Giselle deduced who the owner of the car was, a screech rang out from the door of the house.

"Gi!"

Giselle looked up, a second later her eyes widened.

The girl who stood at the door of her house now stepped quickly and then rushed to hug Giselle's slender body.

"Mel.." Giselle's voice glimmered as her hand slapped gently on the girl's back.

"Evil! Why move not say? Why is your phone number inactive? All medsos are also. That's so mean!" Imel pushed gently on Giselle's shoulder, her tears already flowing with pouting lips.

"In dalem aja naggingnya, Mel!" Cleopatra screeched from the doorway, asking the two girls into the house.

Imel turned around and took a step first after glancing closely at Giselle.

Giselle chuckles, look! Imel even stomped his feet in annoyance. Ah, was she like that too? childish.

"Sorry, you know for yourself my condition was a mess." Giselle was sitting next to Imel because the girl was still putting on her pouting face.

Imel snorted then rolled his eyes lazily.

"Hum?" Giselle whined, swaying, wiggling her arm.

Imel. "Move it, move it! But why delete all social media accounts? Why change the number? Change numbers is okay, but why not use a new number?" Imel poked Giselle with a question that almost two years ago filled her mind.

"Sorry." Giselle looked down, clearly a guilty look on her face. "Medsos was like a nightmare. I'm almost crazy for bacain nasty comments there." He took a slow breath, then threw it away again. "I'm afraid you're following me around because deket same me."

Giselle wasn't lying, that's how she felt.

Imel took a rough breath. He knows exactly what happened two years ago. They are very happy to enjoy their first year students. Life has fun around the campus and shopping malls. Until the case that dragged Father and Brother Giselle like overturning their lives. Giselle lost a lot of things besides her father and sister. The car, credit card, and house he had been living in had to be sold to pay compensation for Giselle's father's fraud. Giselle also had to lose face in front of her friends because someone she had been debasing was precisely the girl they could not match. And most painfully, Siska - their other best friend - also decided to leave Giselle. Turning around hostilely and desperately humiliating Giselle.

That's why Giselle might withdraw, disappear from the lives of everyone who knew her, including Imel.

"Don't be sad anymore. You live well, right here?" Imel rubbed Giselle's arm slowly.

Giselle nodded. "Very good. I'm the same Cle's brother is more comfortable here because no one knows our mass."

"There's an event?" Galendra turned her head inside the house as Cleopatra opened the door.

"Huh? What show?"

"That's a real rame in the dalem." said Galendra again, because even though he had bent his head, still he did not see the source of the laughter that sounded outside the fence.

"Well.." Cleopatra chuckled, then stepped first towards the chair on the porch of the house, followed by Galendra. "No rame, only Giselle is equally cool."

"His victory?" Galendra who was already sitting beside Cleo frowned. For months he approached Giselle, never once did Galendra see the girl with a friend.

"They are from Jakarta." Cleopatra answered lirih.

There was another sound of laughter coming from inside the house just as Cleo finished her sentence.

And Galendra knew, it was Giselle's voice.

Cleo smiled at his smile. "Giselle laughs like that, because I'll never be horrified again."

"I think she's really cool again." Galendra smiled faintly.

"The old Giselle, that cheerful. The onion and energy never abi." Cleopatra looked at Galendra. "Please Gal, don't play with her feelings. I'm honestly still scared sometimes. Afraid that Giselle might fall in love with you, but you're not sincere."

Galendra fell silent, he crept his hands slowly.

"Giselle has done a lot of things these two years. I know, you get what I mean." Cleopatra smiled, then stood up.

"I'm..." Galendra looked up, looking at Cleopatra who was standing before him. In just two seconds, Galendra lowered his gaze. "It will treat Giselle well" he said slowly, as he squeezed his palms even stronger.

Cleo smiled and touched Galendra's shoulder. "I call Giselle in the dalem first" he said as he passed into the house.

Not long after Galendra turned to the door of the house because there were sounds of footsteps half running. Galendra was already almost smiling before a girl she did not know appeared at the door.

"Pantes aja Giselle at home here, have a cute girlfriend turns out." Imel screeched furiously.

Galendra smiled awkwardly then touched his nape.

Giselle glared sharply making Imel chuckle.

"Sorry, Brother Gale. This is Imel, my friend. His mouth must sometimes be duct tape." Giselle glanced back at her best friend. "Mel, this is Brother Gale. Doctor yang-"

"Galendras. Giselle's boyfriend!" Galendra smiled as she extended her hand to Imel.

Giselle freezes with an unsafe heart palpitations.

Imel jumped small with spirit. "Yaampun Neng Giselle why your hokimu has always been good." her pekiknya welcomed Galendra's hand.
