Being Queen in the Hands of Sister-in-law
The Part 44

The holiday season has arrived. But as Micah once said, he would not return to Indonesia before graduating from college.

Although Sena was fussy about telling Micah to come home, Micah had not complied. There was still less than a year and a half left for Micah to return to Indonesia.

"Lo didn't miss Indonesia, Papa was like Mama Lo, or maybe I did?"

Micah laughed a little. "Lo knows I'm used to separating from my parents. They come here often too. They have been here three times during my semester in college. Honey, yeah, you can't come. Can't what is a week's leave? If I miss Indonesia, I think I just miss the food, Sen."

"I didn't miss it?"

"Emmm..." Micah seemed to think. "It's only twenty percent like that" he continued, making Sena pursed her lips.

"It's really like that to me."

Micah laughed again.

"In a month I can only take two days off. And that chance I gather at the end of the year so I can take a long vacation. Well, three weeks more. Can go to Paris and long there live with Lo."

"Great son of Lo! I've been living here with my Mom Papa."

Sena's laughter broke. "Eh, Kha!"

"Hmmm..."

"Who's sitting on the sofa behind Lo? I think I know."

Micah looked back. Looked at the sofa where Nathan was sitting there with Sandy.

Micah immediately turned his body and laptop so that Sena could no longer look around his apartment. Sena saw the wall behind Micah.

"Suami Mia's mother."

"People have one more. I'm no stranger to people."

"Ih, kepo, deh."

Sena poked her lips. "That, yeah, now? Secret play. Just know if I'm not gonna find out because we're a long distance like this."

Micah laughed loudly. It invites the views of Sandy and Nathan simultaneously. Micah stopped his laughter and covered his lips with his hand.

"Just temen, Sena. It's nobody."

"If laughter is set, dong, Micah. Not ashamed of Nathan? Women, really, the laughs are like that" said Mia who had just come out of the kitchen with a snack for Sandy and Nathan who chatted about business. I don't know, Micah hasn't wanted to join the chatter of those more experienced people.

In fact, he knew that after returning from Paris, he would become the CEO of the company Wira.

"Nathan then? Mr Nathan, isn't he?" pekik Sena after hearing Nathan's name called.

"Whose sister Nathan?" Micah pretended not to know.

The one who had the name turned his head and looked at Micah questioningly when he heard his name mentioned many times.

"Don't Mr. Nathan be my boss again. He's in Paris now. Really, right, I'm not wrong? His face is no stranger, no."

"Boss?" Micah made sure and Sena nodded for sure.

"Oh, hi, Sena!" nathan said who knew when he was standing near Micah.

"Sir Nathan! My boyfriend's dad's my best friend, huh?"

"Yet. Doain is just."

Sena screamed hysterically. Micah looked at Nathan questioningly. His heart thumped at the conversation Sena and Nathan had.

"Crazy, yeah, Micah. The sultan all. From the divorced, ex-boyfriend to prospective girlfriend is also sultan. Uh!" Sena reflexively closed her mouth after being aware of what she said.

Micah hastily closes his laptop and the video call connection with Sena is cut off. It was better before Sena spoke much and opened up all of Micah's past that Nathan had not known. Especially with her widow status.

"I know everything, really. You just calm down, don't panic like that" whispered Nathan.

Micah looked embarrassed. "sorry. It's not my intention to hide it from you. Until I can't cover up my past. It's just, I need some time to heal my wounds by not bringing everything up. Anyway, I don't think that's important, anyway. We're just friends."

"If I want us more than friends how? I want you to be my wife. You want to, right?"

Nathan's question made Micah speechless. Looking into Nathan's eyes, he found out if what Nathan said was real or not.

Micah then glanced at Mia and Sandy who were looking at the two of them. They must have heard what Nathan said.

"sorry. I can't." Micah immediately moved and went into his room.

Locking the door a sign that he doesn't want to be disturbed.

Nathan's a good guy. All this time he had also greatly spoiled Micah in every way.

But the taste in Micah's heart was nothing more than a friend. Either because it is still stuck in the past or indeed Micah is not ready to start again.

Maybe the wound that Gavin cut was too deep. He forgot how to love someone new.

"Sister, I'm sorry that I've been so lazy to talk like that."

"If you had known Micah's life story, you should have understood how deep Micah's wounds were. He just needs time, Nath. Leave him alone first. Maybe he needs some time to calm down after his past is back on the table."

"Yes, Brother."

Micah took a deep breath and then exhaled violently.

He doesn't understand himself. It should have been that if he had no sense with Gavin, it would not have been a problem when Sena told Micah's past.

It's not Sena's fault. But it's his own fault that can't control his emotions.

[Mikha, I'm really sorry. I didn't intentionally say that. 🥺🥺]

Micah smiled faintly reading a message from Sena.

Micah's hand quickly typed a reply for Sena.

[It's okay, Sen. Everything is fine.]

***

From that day on, Micah and Nathan's relationship was a little strained. It wasn't Nathan who stayed away, but Micah who shied away from Nathan.

Not only because of his status that was already known by Nathan, but also because Nathan who had asked himself to be Nathan's future wife.

Micah can't yet. And afraid Nathan will be more hopeful that his attitude with Nathan is still the same as before.

Micah said Micah could not have a relationship with Nathan.

Nathan should have understood that it was better for him to avoid Micah. But what Nathan did made Micah feel guilty.

Micah regretted getting along too quickly with Nathan. He should be able to put a little limit so that Nathan is not too far into his life.

Nathan has been to Paris twice. That means four months, from that day on Micah's apartment. Micah has not yet been invited. Micah would continue to dodge if Nathan came to Micah's campus, or waited for Micah in front of the apartment or in the apartment lobby.

Micah no longer knew how he could keep dodging. Until one post Nathan made his heart slightly melt.

"Hi!"

Nathan turned his head to hear the soft voice he had longed for all this time.

His lips drew a smile when he saw Micah standing before him. "Mikha," he said in disbelief. It was hard to believe that Micah was standing before him considering that Micah had always shied away from him.

But this time it's real. Micah was in front of him. Stand up, and smile sweetly while looking at Nathan.

"Finally you want to see me, Micah. Why have you been avoiding all this time?"

"I'm afraid you're hoping. Maybe I'm too confident. But, you know I can't."

Nathan laughed a little. "I get. I understand that it's not easy for you. Sorry if I said that too soon. Can I hug you?"

Micah laughed a little. Stretching out his hands was a sign that he was granting Nathan's request.

Nathan laughed too. He walked toward Micah and carried Micah into his arms. "Not a crab?"

Micah chuckles amusedly. "That's a damn thing."

"We picked up Mang Asep in my apartment."

"Are you taking her again?"

"Yes. When I got here two months ago, bring him too. Unfortunately, you don't want to see me. So I just ask you to prepare your favorite food, I keep dropping it to Brother Mia."

"But at that time Mia said that she cooked it."

"I asked him to say that."

"Pillotent. I don't think it's possible to cook Mia Ma'am. People just taste typical Mang Asep cuisine, really."

"How did you know that time?"

"Yes just be quiet. Pretend to believe that."

"Haha. Fuck up!" Nathan's scrambling Micah's hair. Makes Micah a little upset because her hair is messy.
