Being Queen in the Hands of Sister-in-law
Part 9's

"aaarghhh, shit! Damn you Lo, Micah."

Gilang groaned in pain as Micah recklessly kicked Gilang's weapon.

There was no other way but to hurt Gilang just once before Gilang actually touched him. It is inconceivable what if the two had to actually sleep in one room. Micah would not close his eyes so that he could be ready to standby if suddenly Gilang did recklessly.

Although it was legitimate, Micah did not want to do it with Gilang. In Micah's heart, there was absolutely no taste for Gilang. And Micah thought that there was no Micah there in Gilang's heart.

Micah would not have wanted to have that relationship without the love underlying it.

When Gilang let his guard down, Micah immediately ran out of the room to avoid Gilang. Tonight he had to keep parting room with Gilang. Anyhow.

"Mikha?"

"Yes, Ma?"

"Why is Gilang's stuff in the lower room? Isn't your room upstairs?"

Micah rounded his eyes hearing Yunita's question.

"You guys are okay, right?" Yunita squinted her eyes. Seeing Micah suspiciously.

Micah's head nodded stiffly. "Ba-good, really, Ma. Our room just needs to be renovated first. Later my things are also moved first anyway, Ma. Not even a chance because we both, both work."

"How does the room want to be renovated?"

"You change the paint, Ma. Micah's bored of that color keeps."

"OKAY. But really, yeah, are you all right?"

"Really, Ma. Kan, just now mom and dad also see that we're both okay."

Yunita finally nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Micah's heart could feel an incredible relief.

Micah could have said everything now about his household that was not okay. But Micah had no proof whatsoever of breaking away from Gilang.

Micah took a slow breath and exhaled slowly. "Patience" he said in his heart. Gives strength to his own heart.

***

Micah hopes morning comes soon.

It was two in the morning, but Micah could not close his eyes.

After a heated argument between Gilang and Micah, Micah was finally forced to accept that tonight they would sleep in one room.

With a note, Gilang slept on the sofa and Micah was on the bed.

Although Gilang did not refuse and he fell into a deep sleep after laying down his body on the sofa, Micah felt he had to stay alert. Afraid that midnight Gilang will wake up and do nothing to him.

Micah could not close his eyes quietly. Waking up and checking if something has changed? Micah could breathe a sigh of relief after everything was still fine and did not move out of place.

Micah could only close his eyes at dawn. Instead of praying, Micah fell into a deep sleep like a fainting person and just woke up at eight in the morning.

"Campus me! It's too late. Gavin's sister must be raging if I think it's this."

As fast as lightning Micah prepared. It usually took him an hour to get ready, this time it was only fifteen minutes.

His hair was still wet he had not had time to dry it. But his feet had already stepped hastily down the stairs.

"Pa, Mama. Sorry, Micah woke up bad luck."

Anton and Yunita looked at. Smiling broadly at Micah's wet hair. "Nothing. We understand, really. Gilang said you were exhausted because last night spent a long night with Gilang."

"Huh?" Micah glanced at Gilang who was even engrossed in enjoying his breakfast. "Y-yes, Ma. Brother Gilang. Well, Micah's so embarrassed."

"Why should I be ashamed? Papa and mama when the newlyweds are too, really."

Micah smiled faintly. "Yes, Ma. Micah left first, yeah. It's late."

"No breakfast first? Or let's just deliver Gilang."

"Oh, no, Ma. Micah went alone. Breakfast can be at the office. Bye Mama, bye papa."

It was a question for Anton and Yunita. "Kok, he's not saying good to you, Lang?"

"Forgotted time, Ma. His name was also in a hurry. Back to making a part."

Justright. Just as Gilang finished his words, Micah's cry sounded shrill all the way into the house.

"Sir Gilang, I forgot to say no. I'm working first, yeah, honey."

Micah kissed Gilang's hand. Then kiss Gilang cheek briefly.

The sight made Anton and Gilang smile happily. All the bad thoughts about the Gilang household that they thought were not okay were broken just like that by the sight this morning. The wet hair of Micah and Gilang, as well as Micah who unhesitatingly kissed Gilang's cheeks in the presence of Anton and Yunita.

Meanwhile, after Micah got into the car, Micah rubbed his lips violently. This was enough, being the first and last time Micah kissed Gilang.

"No, change the skin. The vow of uneasiness is exhausted lips nyium Gilang," his grunts were annoyed along the way to the office. Until he forgot to dry his still wet hair.

Having to perform a show of totality in front of his two in-laws, this morning Micah had to shampoo.

***

"Sister, I'm late. Sorry."

Gavin caught a glimpse of Micah who had just walked into his room. His breathing was still breathless as he had to rush into Gavin's room.

Micah had already prepared himself if today Gavin would give him the punishment for being too late.

"I know you're married. But if you want that, you have to remember the time. Do not let you be late to the office. Dry your hair first! I'm afraid to see employees with wet hair like that. Less neat," said Gavin with a ketus.

Gavin was already feeling very upset when yesterday his mother sent a photo of Micah holding hands with Gilang. This morning coupled with Micah who arrived late, also in a state of half wet hair was not neat at all.

It seemed that Gavin would not be willing if Gilang and Micah had a husband and wife relationship last night even though it was their right. Gavin has no right to forbid. Jealousy is not really worth it.

***

Micah feels Gavin is now changing as he once was. Cold and jutek. The sweet attitude that was shown to Micah only lasted a few weeks.

Micah thinks his work has been fine all along. Gavin did not protest it was a sign that what Micah did was right.

But it was Gavin's changing attitude that made Micah uneasy. It felt strange and like something was missing from his heart.

This afternoon, before returning home, Micah ventured to meet Gavin. Asking if there was anything wrong with Micah in Gavin's eyes.

"Sister, can we talk to you for a second?"

"I'm busy" Gavin replied without seeing Micah. Even his eyes were still focused on the laptop in front of him.

Micah was disappointed. Again Gavin's attitude made his guts shrink just like that. Micah did not dare to speak at length when Gavin's reply confirmed that he did not want to be disturbed.

"I don't know if this is just my feeling or not. But I think brother changed." Micah took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Look at Gavin like this, like something was missing from my life. I'm sorry if I disturbed Brother Gavin. Excuse me."

Somehow Micah was able to shed his tears after coming out of Gavin's room. It felt really hurt when Gavin didn't care about him anymore.

He has just found happiness, security and comfort when he is with Gavin. But then everything is taken away suddenly, without Micah knowing what the reason is.

Gavin started it, Gavin ended it.

Unfortunately, that left an impression on Micah's heart.

"Micha!"

Micah's steps came to a halt because he heard his name called. As he turned his head, Gavin quickly walked over to him. And hugged him tightly.

"Sister?" call Micah stiffly. His body stiffened feeling Gavin's embrace so tightly.

"Ssttts. Be quiet! Leave it like this for a while."

Gavin's words kept Micah quiet. Micah ventured to raise both hands, returning Gavin's embrace.
