About Gibran?
Part 03: Erlan

At around seven o'clock in the evening, just before the night tomb in the main house began, Mr. Tio returned after almost three hours of disappearing, the man came and went straight to see Mr. Felix in his study upstairs.

"Here you are, sir." A file containing Euni's personal data, as well as all the supporting evidence Mr. Tio put on Mr. Felix's desk.

Mr. Felix who had been holding back his anger since hearing the report from Mr. Tio immediately took the file, read it carefully.

"So this all has to do with the proximity of Gibran and Melisa?!" mr. Felix said while reading a paper containing data from the Hp Euni hack, where a contact Gibran found in his phone, there was a former chat with Gibran, there are even some pictures of Gibran there.

"If I conclude, the woman is heartbroken, sir, after Mr. Gibran refused to be betrothed to her, and she is also heartbroken to learn that Mr. Gibran would prefer to be with Miss Melisa."

"I'm going to talk about this with Gibran!" firmly Mr. Felix. Hearing that, Mr. Tio was immediately bowed, he was really afraid that Mr. Felix's decision would be to keep Gibran away from Miss Melisa. I don't know why, Mr. Tio was afraid that it would happen.

But before Mr. Tio left the room, Mr. Felix had advised that this incident was covered up from Melisa, afraid Melisa felt uncomfortable after knowing what really happened. Mr. Felix also requested that Mr. Tio keep an eye on Euni's movements!

Sure enough, when questioned by Melisa, Mr. Tio replied that he had business with Mr. Felix, a sudden job business that made him have to come quickly and forced to tell others to drive Melisa home.

Actually Melisa was a little hesitant with Mr. Tio's answer, but yes, after all, it was very lucky for Melisa because Mr. Tio would answer all her questions.

* * * *

Just Saturday afternoon, Gibran got an invitation to have dinner together at Melisa's residence, Gibran who basically already knew what Mr. Felix was like just to guess, what is it this time that Mr Felix wants to talk to him about again? Are there any rules that Gibran or Melisa broke?

Unlike Melisa, he did not think in that direction at all, he thought this was a dinner that his father deliberately planned to get to know more about the figure of Gibran, even Melisa herself was thrilled to find out that Gibran was coming! Melisa can finally treat the longing for her beloved.

As in general, Mr. Felix pleasantly asked Gibran's news and work, he did not immediately speak at the core of the conversation, other than because there was Melisa, Arkan and Erlan also at the dinner table.

Unlike Arkan who accepted Gibran's presence, the youngest Erlan refused, even since Gibran's arrival, the boy had already put on a hostile look.

Erlan did not want to share anything else with others, just share with Arkan his brother he had tried as sincere as possible, let alone this in fact Gibran his stranger! I must share Melisa's affection, even Mama and Dad's concern with the stranger! Erlan did not want to and did not accept!!

Seeing her Mama treat Gibran so well it felt like there was a spark of jealousy in Erlan's little heart.

"Well, Erlan, why aren't you eating it?" tania asked when Erlan no longer wanted to spend her dinner. The boy who was asked was silent and only replied with a headband.

"Erlan why, sick?" ask Arkan while checking Erlan's body temperature, normal-normal turns out.

"Ma, Erlan can eat fruit salad?" ask the boy after being quiet for a long time.

"Yes, I can, honey. Maverick-up"

Just now Tania wanted to ask Mbak Indah for help to take Erlan fruit salad stored in the refrigerator, Erlan instead first got off her dining chair, and insistent that she would take it herself!

Melisa who was sensitive to Erlan's change of attitude also sped up her meal to immediately persuade the boy.

"Gibran, after this I'd like to talk to you for a minute!" said Mr. Felix, spontaneously Melisa who was drinking was glancing at his father. What else does his father want to talk to Gibran about?! Melisa's feelings are starting to get worse.

After finishing the dinner, Mr. Felix invites Gibran to go upstairs, to his study, while Melisa, who is not allowed to participate, chooses to persuade Erlan to be conquered by Arkan.

Erlan who was sitting in front of the TV while enjoying the fruit salad immediately turned her head as soon as she realized the presence of Melisa and Arkan.

"Sister Melisa same sister Arkan can come watch?" asked Melisa in a half-squatting position.

"Can."

Melisa and Arkan sat in front of the TV after getting the approval from Erlan, the boy seemed to focus on the spectacle, and occasionally stuffed pieces of fruit into the small mouth that did not stop chewing, he said, in the end, his body was just that.

"Em, Erlan, Erlan doesn't like Gibran?" ask Melisa slowly.

"Why, even though Brother Gibran is a good person, he has the same snacks with Erlan's favorite fruits!"

Erlan shook her head. "Erlan doesn't want it all, Erkan wants Kak Melisa, Erlan does not want Kak Melisa to go with him!"

"Go? Where are you going, sister Gibran, where are you taking sister Melisa?"

"Go to her house, and stay there. People who date are like that!!" annoyed Erlan.

Spontaneous Melisa and Arkan instantly stared at each other. It turned out that their little sister had already begun to understand adult affairs.

"So Erlan doesn't want Melisa's sister to stay at Gibran's house? Erlan wants Melisa's sister to stay here with Erlan?"

Erlan nodded. "Erlan no longer wanted to stay apart and away from Sister Melisa!"

The boy put down his fruit salad bowl, then shifted slowly towards Melisa, hugging the girl.

"Sister Melisa do not go far, do not make Erlan worry anymore, Erlan does not want Kak Melisa why-why, Erlan does not like to see Kak Melisa hospitalized! Erlan doesn't like it!!"

Melisa rubbed the head and back of Erlan who was still hugging her. Melisa does not know what else to say to Erlan, maybe over time Erlan can accept the presence of Gibran and understand the meaning of a relationship that Melisa and Gibran are running.

"Sister, Arkan can be envious, because Erlan only loves Sister Melisa, not Arkan!" arkan said in a tone made as sad as possible, it managed to make Erlan slightly loosen her embrace on Melisa and turned to Arkan.

"Kak Arkan is a guy, besides Brother Arkan is also big, it's not the time to be loved!!"

Jambb. Erlan's answer was like a sword that drew Arkan's heart, but with a ignorant smile Arkan replied back.

"It's okay, the important thing is that Melisa remains more affectionate to Arkan!' His god with a mocking face before finally the teenager slightly ran away from the room.

"Have it been, don't be horrified Arkan, Melisa's sister is very dear to both of you, especially Erlan!" persuade Melisa. The girl managed to persuade Erlan so that the boy would not put on a pouting face again, but she had not succeeded in persuading Erlan to accept Gibran's presence.

****

Gibran looked at Mr. Felix as if asking, what is this? When Mr. Felix thrust a chocolate map at him.

"Open first!"

Feeling a little anxious, tense, and confused, Gibran opened the map containing some paper, Gibran read it carefully. The man shook his head slowly, as if he could not believe what he was reading.

"I know you have nothing to do with what almost happened to Melisa, and maybe you are just as surprised as I was when I learned of this news" Felix said. Mr. Felix could see the look on Gibran's face like a man holding back anger, his clenched hand holding the paper.

"I'll make sure something like this never happens again!" firmly Gibran, the man will not let Euni act as he pleases again for the future!

"Em, Gibran, I don't doubt your love for Melisa. But as a father, I'm just worried about my son's safety, you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I get it, I also know, Melisa is so precious to you!"

"Finish your business with that woman, and please, don't ever tell Melisa this, because she doesn't know anything about this! I believe you!"

Gibran nodded, this time he would really give a valuable lesson to Euni!

"How dare he want to harm me!" Inner Gibran growled. But as much as possible Gibran controls himself, he also should not be rash and out of control, it could be later even he who became a suspect for killing Euni!

After feeling calm, Gibran also re-opened the conversation, he conveyed his intention to invite Melisa to meet with her parents, especially Mama who kept asking to be introduced to Melisa.

Mr. Felix doesn't mind, according to the rules agreed upon, Gibran can take you anywhere, as long as Gibran is ready to protect Melisa as long as the girl is with him! With Gibran's own life at stake!
