About Gibran?
Part 02: Holidays (6)

"Where's Gibran, Ma?" ask Livi who just came home, even the groceries he bought to miss in the car so enthusiastic to meet Gibran!

"There is in his room, why the hell tumben really nyariin his sister?!"

"There's good news!!"

The girl ran straight to Gibran's room.

Tok..

Livi knocked on the door impatiently.

"Sir Gibraaaan! Open it!"

"Yes, be patient, Brother Gibran put on a shirt first!" gibran, who just came out of the bathroom, using only a towel in there, was busy looking for his suit in the suitcase!

"Mirror, um!"

"Jeez, be patient, Livi!!"

Gibran zipped his pants, then opened the door, the wet towel was still on the export shoulder, Gibran had not yet worn his shirt! He still holds it!

"Wear the shirt first, brother!" Livi turned her back to Gibran, and she was ashamed to see Gibran that way!

"Udah, here!"

"Livi's in?"

"Hmm." Gibran walked towards the window of the room, dried his wet towel there, this is not to be imitated, yes!

"Will Gibran hear Livi's story?" livi is still enthusiastic.

"What news? Tell me, brother Gibran is horrified!" gibran replied, but still busy with his mobile, reading some important emails.

"You don't want to!"

"Yes-yes, want!" The man finally put his cell phone on the table, sat down next to Livi, ready to hear the girl's story!

"Khemmm, guess who Livi was meeting?!"

"Whose name?"

"Guess up!"

"Euni?"

"No, no, I'll see him this way!" livi said disgustedly to herself.

"Hush, that's not it! Keep meeting who? No way Melisa, right?"

"Yaps really, meet Melisa!"

"Seriously? Over where? How can? He's the same si---"

"Sussst, no, Dengerin Livi story first!"

"Yes, tell a story!"

"So, just now Livi went for souvenirs, accidentally met Kak Melisa there, she was with her sister Arkan, continued the same with her friend as well as Kak Jefri! Well it just so happens that Livi wants to eat, Melisa's sister also wants to eat, so we ate the same thing earlier, four!"

Livi shows off her selfie photo with Melisa on Gibran!

"Jefryn? The theme?" lirih Gibran's.

"It seems like it's really just a matter of cement, brother! Livi's attention is mediocre! So, Gibran, don't worry!"

"That's it?" Gibran snatched Livi's phone, wanting to see Melisa's face more clearly.

"The more beautiful!"

"It's beautiful, good again! Not that one!" livi said, quipping about Euni.

Gibran dissolved in his gaze at the photo of Melisa and Livi, two girls who are both dear Gibran, the other is a complete package, loved and loved!

Just looking at Melisa's photo makes Gibran's heart beat ungodly! Gibran had never felt this crazy feeling before!

"Udah, come back, Livi's phone!"

Livi tried to take back his phone from Gibran's hands.

"Just send a photo!"

"Eits, no!! Must pay! That's a precious photo!" livi said as she pulled Gibran's arm, still trying to pick up her phone.

"Well, look at the child! Cook a photo of Melisa being in business with her!" gerutu Gibran did not accept!

"There is quality, there is a price! Hehehehe, sold exclusively to Kak Gibran, limited edition, yes! Wouldn't you?!"

"Huh." Gibran picked up his wallet inside the desk drawer, then glanced at Livi who had a joyful smile on his bed!

"How much?"

"Because who bought Brother Gibran, and Livi really love Sister Gibran, so it's okay just a million!"

"Million?" Gibran glared in disbelief!

"That's it all, Arkan's photo bonus is the same Kak Jefri too! How's it?"

Gibran patted his eel, "Yes already, Brother Gibran pay more dah, mumpung Kak Gibran dear also the same selling!"

"Hehehehe, quite, maaciiih, Brother Gibran handsome, emuachhh! More dear to you brother Gibran!"

Livi sends all her pictures with Melisa, plus the bonus photos that Arkan and Jefri have too, as per the trade deal!

"Oh yes, Livi also has a bonus for Brother Gibran!"

"What else?"

Livi came a little closer, "There's a greeting from Sister Melisa!"

"Lied!"

"I swear, Livi's not bo'ong!" The girl raised her two ways of forming the letter V.

"This serious?"

"Yes!"

At once Gibran's body fell on the mattress, smiling to himself and hugging the pillow!

"Aish, I'm friday! Hey, you are Melisa's sister!"

Gibran did not comment on Livi's remarks. It feels like I got a greeting from Melisa!

"Yes that way from Livi!" Livi patted Gibran on the back. "Inget, Livi's coming out tonight!"

Livi leaves Gibran alone in her room, still lying on the bed, hugging the bolster she might have imagined as Melisa?!

* * * * *

The reason why Mr. Felix asked Melisa to come home quickly was: because Mr. Felix wanted to talk about some things Melisa should know by now! About Aunt Felia, about Mr. Felix's fear, and about the reason why Mr. Felix asked Melisa to stay away from Gibran!

Mr. Felix thinks it's time Melisa found out everything!

"Dad? You called Melisa?" melisa asked her father who was sitting on the sofa in the middle room of Villa Aela.

"Sit here! There's something I want to talk to Melisa about!" Mr. Felix patted the empty space next to him.

What's going on, Mama, Arkan and Erlan where? Inner Melisa, afraid that Dad would scold her.

"Some?"

"Y-yes, Dad?"

"Well you know why Aunt Felia left at such a young age?"

"Because of pain?"

Mr. Felix shook his head, "Do you know why?"

"Emmm, yes, if you don't mind, Melisa wants to know why.'

Mr. Felix took a deep breath and began to tell about the life of his sister Felia who was loved by everyone around him, treated like a crown princess in the main house by both his parents and his two older brothers, until the night of the disappearance of the girl and found in a state of gunshot wounds in the chest to take his life.

"And when the autopsy was performed, the doctor stated that before Felia had experienced sexual harassment, many traces were also left on her body!"

Mr. Felix's hands clenched tightly as he was forced to recall the incident.

"Dad..." Melisa was really shocked after hearing the father's words, she never thought that such a thing happened to one of her family members!

"Sorry, Melisa, I was too scared and traumatized by the events of Felia, until Dad himself was afraid when your Mama gave birth to a baby girl, I was afraid that Daddy's son would experience the same thing!"

Mr. Felix bowed, not daring to look at Melisa.

"Dad tried to protect you in his own way, keep your life away from the world of family business, keep you from the possibilities that will happen in the main house, the, I don't want people who don't like me to come after you and hurt you, I don't want that to happen to Daddy's Daughter!"

"At first I thought, Dad's plan went well, but when you get to know Gibran, the son of a business rival Dad, I'm haunted again by the fear that you've been trying to control! And finally Dad lost, Melisa, I'm not willing to let you in danger!"

"Dad."

Without saying much Melisa immediately grabbed her father's body, hugging him tightly. "Thank you, Dad, you've been looking after and protecting Melisa all this time...."

Melisa's cry broke out, she could not help but feel happy, moved and sad into one!

"Did Melisa hate Dad?"

"Absolutely not, because Melisa was convinced, whatever Dad's decision, it must be the best thing for Melisa!"

Mr. Felix again hugged Melisa, kissed her forehead, and the girls cheeks, as a form of affection.

Now that Melisa's questions have been answered, the curiosity about Aunt Felia's death has paid off, as well as the reason her father treated her that way and the reason why you asked her to stay away from Gibran!

"Did Melisa love him?" mister Felix asked, her black bead staring fixedly at Melisa's face.

Melisa did not answer anything, but from the look in her eyes, Mr. Felix could tell what the girl was answering!

"In the future, if anything happens, Melisa's story to Dad or Mama yes, whatever the story, we're ready to be the listener!"

"Thank you, Dad."

Melisa feels she will start this new year with a new life as well, throw away all the bitter memories from previous years, and replace with better and happier memories again for the future!

I don't know what kind of destiny God has planned for us, Gibran! But whatever it is, I hope you are always happy and can accept the destiny God has set for us! Together or not, I will still be happy, because God has brought us together!

Inner Melisa.
