About Gibran?
Part 01: Living the Destiny

Rere pulls Melisa's hand and invites Melisa to enter a clothing store to help Rere choose a dress for Fais!

"Help ya, Mel. I don't know what Fais kayak tastes like!"

Melisa stared at the surroundings, the same clothes shop she came to with Gibran! The girl closed her eyes, everything was still recorded clearly in Melisa's memory! All of them!

"Emm, Re, what if we just look around there?" Via steps on Rere's foot, signaling that the store will definitely remind Melisa of Gibran!

"Emm, yeah, we're going to Carissa, huh, Mel?"

Melissa looked at her two best friends. "Here the quality is good!"

"It's good there too! Come on!" Now that Via is pulling Melisa's hand, taking Melisa out of the store, Rere is walking behind while cursing her stupidity!

They shouldn't have been here from the beginning!

"Don't make sure to stop by to eat Shabu-shabu, inget!" whispered Via to Rere, Rere nodded in understanding.

Melisa has got a watch that she will give as Fais' birthday gift, as well as Via and Rere. Now it's time to go home!

"Aren't you going to eat first?" melisa asked Rere and Via.

"Emm, it'll be outside! I want to eat at KFC!" say Rere!

"On the first floor there's KFC, right? Let's eat there!"

"Emm, outside! We're not hungry yet!"

Melisa squinted her eyes, looking at Rere and Via in turn. "What the hell are you guys from earlier?!"

"It's okay, let's get out!"

Melisa only resigned when Via and Rere pulled her hand to quickly get out of the Mall!

Livi stood behind Gibran sitting on the sofa, watching the footage of the horror film that will be shown in the next few days in theaters!

"Since when has Brother Gibran loved to watch horror?" livi said, making Gibran shocked! Gibran was completely unaware that Livi was standing behind him!

"Recently!" answer Gibran.

"Well, who puts that kind of ultra milk in the fridge?"

"Sister Gibran. Why?"

"Since when did Brother Gibran like to drink strawberry-flavored ultra milk? Until the box box is that? Hmm?"

"Like it first, really!"

"Em, cheater!" Livi nudged Gibran's ear. At one point Gibran did not like anything related to stoberi!

"Is it the same with Melisa?" Livi sat down beside Gibran, looking at her brother with a curious look and a desperate need for answers!

"Why talk about Melisa?"

Gibran put his Handphone on the table, then took the cookie jar and put a few pieces of cake in his mouth!

"Who else likes strawberry and chocolate flavored ultra milk except for Melisa? Livi?" The girl pointed at herself. "Livi does not like chocolate milk, not too like the taste of strawberries!"

Gibran was silent, unable to avoid Livi's guess! It's true what Livi just said!

"Emm, Brother Gibran went into the room first!" Gibran gets up, but Livi holds him back.

"Sister Gibran no longer fights, right, sister Melisa?"

"No. Why why?"

"There is no one! Just so Livi often saw Brother Gibran daydreaming, not like usual!"

"That's yeah? Brother Gibran again thinks about the problem in the office, absolutely nothing to do with Melisa!"

"Ooo." Livi just nodded her head. Gibran then left the living room, went into his room to rest his body and head were very tired!

"Will lie, brother? Brother Gibran thinks Livi doesn't know if your relationship is no good anymore?"

While in the school bathroom, Livi overhears a conversation between Rere and Via, who are talking about Gibran and Melisa. From that conversation, Livi hears Via reminding Rere not to mention Gibran again in front of Melisa, essentially let everything disappear as time goes on!

"Will Brother Gibran lose a loved one again? I hope it doesn't happen again and again! Lord, don't present anyone if it's just to leave a wound!"

[The Last Time]

Melisa took her step towards the basketball court, there were some students sitting, resting after the practice in the middle of the court. The girl circulated her gaze, looking for the figure of Fais asking Melisa to meet him at this place!

Melissa :

I was in the field. Where are you?

Messages sent and read by Fais immediately, marked with a blue double tick in Room Chat WhatsApp.

A few seconds later. Fais emerged from the direction of the sports equipment storage warehouse. A basketball rolled towards Melisa, right hitting the girl's black shoes.

Melisa looked at Fais in confusion, the teenager stepped closer to Melisa. He lowered his head to pick up the ball near Melisa's feet. Her black bead stared at Melisa's confused face.

"Mel, I promise you this is the last one, after this I won't bother you anymore!"

Fais handed Melisa the basketball. "Do you want to feel my feelings? If you want, hold this ball, but if you don't, you can throw as hard as you can!"

Melisa looked at Fais, she could see how soft and deep Fais' gaze was. But even so, Melisa could not accept the feelings that Fais had for her, other than the reason Melisa did not have the same feelings, Melisa was also afraid that her father would ask her to stay away from Fais! Just like Gibran!

The basketball rolled after being kicked slowly by Melisa. "Sorry, I can't, Fais..."

Fais looked at the ball which was now in the middle of the basketball court.

"Thank you for the answer, Mel. Thanks for the card, too, but I hope that night you come."

"Sorry, I'm really sorry."

Melisa nodded with a smile.

Fais' hand touched Melisa's head tender. "Promise yes after this you must keep smiling, can not be sad! Look out if I see you sad, I'll bother you again!"

Fais shuffled Melisa's hair, the man smiled widely without any burden. " Well, can you come back now, or do you want me to take a class?"

"I can do it myself." Melisa patted Fais' shoulder twice. "Thank you for all that you have loved!"

"Yes, you're welcome, Mel."

After that day, Fais never bothered Melisa again, no spam chat, no more greetings and temptations as usual!

[Enjoying Feelings]

In a room large enough for a single person, a girl was busy putting several folds of her clothes into a closet. Already accustomed to living independently, the girl prefers to do all the work she should have done without being helped by a Household Assistant.

Not just washing and folding her own clothes, Melisa also often helps in the kitchen, whether it is washing dishes or just cutting food to be cooked.

Once his father found Melisa was in the kitchen and was busy talking to one of ART. At first Melisa was not allowed to go to the kitchen anymore, afraid to interfere with ART work, but when she saw Melisa so happy when talking to Bik Tuti made Melisa's father's heart melt, let Melisa do whatever makes her feel comfortable in the main house.

Melisa stroked the ash shirt that was on the topmost crease arrangement. For a moment the girl looked sad as she remembered Gibran. But the next second, Melisa tried to smile again.

"I will never forget you, the more I try to forget, the more I miss and remember everything!"

Melisa tries to enjoy all these feelings, not wanting to rush to forget, let everything go according to God's Destiny.

"Sister Melisa?" Arkan knocked on Melisa's room door. Melisa immediately closed the closet and opened the door for her sister.

"Sister, Erlan asked me to watch!"

Melisa smiles, then embraces Arkan's shoulder. "Let's see the same!"

Mama Tania joined when she saw the three sisters sitting in front of the TV with a red carpet motif with white flowers.

"Isn't it okay for Mama to watch too?" tania said as she stroked Erlan's hair, the boy slid his head over Melisa's thigh.

Since the presence of Melisa in the main house the atmosphere of the house immediately changed drastically 360 degrees. Even the workers admit that! The usual Mr Felix rarely spoke and smiled now instead! Not even infrequently they heard laughter from the TV room, Their Master and Madam even joined in there!

Two months later...

Gibran's car stopped right in front of Livi's school. This was Gibran's first time coming here again, to pick up Livi who was taking part in extracurricular activities! The clock now shows at 5pm.

Usually if Mama asks him to pick Livi up, Gibran always looks for an excuse and instead tells Gala - his cousin and subordinate to pick Livi up!

Gibran stared at the three girls who had just come out of the school gate, all three of them looking so engrossed in their jokes, then laughed so loosely!

A smile appeared on Gibran's face, his gaze unshakeable until the three girls got into a black car that drove away from the school environment!

It did not feel like two months had passed, for two months Gibran focused on his work, but sometimes before going to bed he still had time to remember Melisa. Moreover, Gibran began to understand now, why Melisa's father did not like his closeness with the girl who owned the sweet smile!

Through Livi's Instagram account, Gibran saw Melisa's Instragram post, the girl's account in private and each time Gibran created a new Instagram to follow Melisa, never confirmed, she said, gibran's old Instagram account seems to have been blocked, so it can't search Melisa's Instagram account anymore!

In the post, Melisa uploaded 4 photos, the first slide with a man who Gibran estimates is still under 50, the man's posture looks so firm with a firm face full of authority. Gibran felt so familiar that Gibran enlarged the photo!

"Mr Felix?" muttered Gibran while sliding the next slide, a photo of Melisa with a woman wearing a dress that was as beautiful as Melisa! It's just that the woman's hair was tied neatly while Melisa's hair was left to break down just like that.

Then the third slide is a photo of Melisa with two men, the other is taller than Melisa. She was standing on the right, while the other was in her 10s standing in front of Melisa, Melisa's hand holding the boy's shoulder.

And the last photo is a photo of Melisa with the four men earlier, Melisa standing in the middle along with the woman who Gibran estimates it is Melisa's mother! The two men were his brothers! Then Mr Felix?

"His father?" guess Gibran. The man changed his position from lying down to leaning on the back of the mattress!

The caption on the post is just two emojis, a sunflower emoji and a red heart [🌻]

Gibran turned to the comment field. Read the top comments.

@Callmeviy_ Be happy always my darling I'm a Btw Arkan for me huh, Mel? Please go to bangett

@Reana.re2 Join happy to see 🥺🤍 Happy always BESTIEH Ter🤍

And there are many other comments that praise the beauty of Melisa!

"So Melisa's Mr Felix's son? It's worth it he doesn't like it when I get close to his son!"

Gibran who has been almost 3 years in the Ayanya company, of course, knows that Mr. Felix is their toughest rival! Actually there is never a word to compete, but as if the two companies want to outperform one with the other!

"One meter of land in his territory alone is so precious! Especially her only daughter!" Gibran.

But Gibran still had one question stuck in his mind!

"What's the reason Mr Felix ignored Melisa? To the point of treating Melisa like she's not her real child?" muttered Gibran who remembered the story of Via when he met at TALK.

*

"Sister Gibran? Brother Gibran?" Livi clapped Gibran twice, leaving Gibran leaning from his reverie!

"Yes?"

"What the hell is it?"

"Nothing. Did you finish your activities?"

"Udah!" Livi squinted his eyes at Gibran. Gibran avoided Livi's gaze.

"Nobody's missing, right?" asked Gibran only in reply to the headband by Livi, then Gibran's car drove slowly away from the school environment.

"Surely, Brother Gibran was squirming again, sister Melisa, right?"

Honestly, if Livi was asked if she was disappointed with Melisa? Yes, Livi was very disappointed at first! But after knowing the reason why Gibran and Melisa are not close anymore, Livi can only stay silent, even now Livi still respects Melisa as her upperclassman.

Not infrequently Melisa and Livi exchanged greetings!
