Don'T Hate Me, Baby!
Derogate

At midnight, it was almost a change of days. But Chalissa could not close her eyes. His mind was still piqued by his encounter with Cindy. Really, it feels like the world is very narrow. At that moment, he met his brother again. Instead, he was reunited with the figure of the woman who became the mastermind of his first meeting with Ansel.

Chalissa fell silent, as Keenan unknowingly introduced Cindy as his lover.

“You?” he could not open his mouth freely. It felt like his heart was instantly difficult to beat. Same with Cindy, whose face [un changed. There was no smile before he was introduced by Keenan to his sister.

“You know each other?” tanya Keenan caught the expression of the two who were still glued to each other.

‘Hem, yes!” cindy answered trying to force her face to look smiling. However, it was very clear that smile was bitter. “We're one Keen school, but we're different grade.” He added, then he with his sturdy body immediately reached out his hand to shake hands with Chalissa.

“Hai, Lissa. How are you?” cindy's words began to make Chalissa stop being silent.

Chalissa tries to accept Cindy's actual hand-to-hand job which is hard to accept. However, it felt not the right response if he blatantly rejected the presence of Cindy. Moreover, Keenan did not know the events that had happened to him first while with Cindy. And most accurately, Keenan did not know the story of why his sister was able to marry Ansel.

“Hai, I good” reply Chalissa with short sentences.

“O yes, happy birthday yes. Sorry, I haven't had time to buy you anything.” Cindy's speech that tastes to Chalissa is just a stale base.

Chalissa showed a meaningless smile at Cindy with a sharp look. “You don't have to bother, thank you”

Hanny herself, could not comment. This is the moment of Chalissa's birthday that has been prepared by Ansel. Hanny didn't want to ruin the warm atmosphere.

“Sayang” call Ansel to approach Chalissa who is standing on the balcony of their room. He grabbed his wife's body, turned his body and embraced her waist.

“Why are you awake?” Chalissa was trying to hide something.

“What's up? How come you haven't slept?” astonished Ansel saw the eyes of his wife who was still awake.

Chalissa smiled to take her mind off her husband who seemed to be guessing something at her.

“Nothing dear. I'm not sleepy yet, the event was still very beautiful for me to remember - remember” Chalissa tried to reason to avoid her husband's questions.

Ansel pulled his lip line up, “So last night's surprise that has disrupted your sleep?” raised one of his eyebrows.

“I just still feel happy baby, I'm happy first time there's someone special who held my birthday surprise.” Chalissa stroked her husband's face gently. “ Your surprise is very memorable, dear.” She then kissed her husband softly.

Ansel's eyes opened wide. His heart was flattered by his wife's kiss.

“I'm glad that you like it baby” Ansel said after Chalissa let go of her kiss. “Sleep, it's almost morning” Ansel took his wife into their room again.

Now they are lying on the bed. Ansel pulled a blanket over their bodies to the chest. They lay their bodies on their backs.

“Sayang” call Ansel. He was astonished at his wife, who was silent at what thought. But to be sure, Ansel was convinced that something was being kept by his wife.

Chalissa turned her face to look at her husband.

Ansel tilted his body toward Chalissa. “Hey, what's up?” ask Ansel. His hand rubbed gently on Chalissa's cheek.

Chalissa smiled.

“Do not keep anything from me. I don't like it when you keep something from me. Say, what's up?” ansel asked, his body was now closing in on Chalissa.

Chalissa was still silent then she turned her face towards the tap of their room. Confused to tell me about Cindy.

“Tomorrow, I'll tell you. Not today” said Chalissa.

“Alright, now sleep” take Ansel, he herded his wife closer and fell asleep in his arms.

****

The morning arrived

Like Chalissa promised last night. In the room, Ansel was ready with his work clothes on. Before enjoying his breakfast in the morning, he always invited his son to play for a while.

Clutch

Chalissa went into the room.

“Honey, kari” call Ansel who is sitting in bed together with Killian.

“Tell me, what last night bothered your mind?” Ansel could not wait to find out what his wife was thinking.

“But, you will have to work dear” said Chalissa.

“I won't work, if you haven't told me about the problem that's bothering you!” ansel.

“I'll tell you, but we have breakfast first.” Ansel changed the look on his face. He did not like his wife's argument.

“Baik” said Chalissa who already understood the look on her husband's face.

“You, you still remember the woman my sister brought?” ask chalissa. Ansel silently remembered Cindy's figure. Then his forehead wrinkled, “he's your schoolmate right?” ask Ansel, who he knew last night that Cindy was his schoolmate.

Chalissa nodded.

“Then, what's up? Have you guys ever had a problem?” ansel asked increasingly curious.

Chalissa began to recount the events that had happened to her.

“Wait!” Ansel spontaneously stops the story of Chalissa. He tried to change his sitting position firmly facing his wife. He held both of his wife's shoulders. “What, he's the one who set you up?” the question made Chalissa's eyes nailed. “Really?” ansel continued, increasingly convinced, that his assumption was true.

“Iya” says Chalissa with small open lips.

Ansel rubbed his face and then held his wife's shoulder.

“Then, what will you do? Are you going to tell Keenan this?”

“Before what?” Ansel waited for Chalissa's answer curiously.

“I want to know first. Does sister already know about Cindy.”'s work Chalissa.

Actually that's what stuck in his mind. She is confused as to why her sister could have a relationship with Cindy. Does her brother know about Cindy's work. Then if her brother finds out, why would he accept Cindy.

“Darling, you think. Do I need to ask this of my brother? Honestly, I'm afraid that later it will even make you disappointed” said Chalissa.

“You're afraid your sister is disappointed why?” ansel asked turned around.

“I'm afraid my sister already likes Cindy. Trus, if you don't know Cindy's job yet. Sure brother will be very disappointed”

“However, your brother should know. But we can't be in a hurry either, honey. I will try to find out about your sister's relationship with Cindy” Ansel said.

Chalissa lowered her head.

“You are very disturbed by his presence?” ansel asked, raising his wife's chin.

Chalissa lowered her gaze.

“I'm not willing, Brother Keenan has a relationship with Cindy. But, I also have no right to determine the feelings of my brother” now Ansel understand the struggle of his wife's heart. Honestly, he also felt annoyed after finding out about Cindy. However, he did not know what to comment.

This afternoon, at the office at lunchtime. Ansel is still thinking about the story of Chalissa. His wife's words were still ringing in his ears.

“Do you hate her so much, baby?” ansel's Question to Chalissa. However, Chalissa gave no answer. Ansel's mind, maybe his wife is still upset.

“Ans, do I have to forget that incident. And don't assume, that I met Cindy?” Ansel was astonished by his wife's question.

“If you really love him. It seems, I have to sincerely accept it”, Chalissa said again.

“What would be better for you? Otherwise, do not be forced” said Ansel.

“Honestly, it hurts. But, if I look at myself now. Looks like I'll be able to. There's you and Killian by my side. So, if you can be happy with Cindy. I should be able to take it”

Ansel just stared intensely at Chalissa.

“Everyone has a chance and can change. Perhaps, that also applies to Cindy”

Ansel hugged his wife and gave her a kiss on the top of her head.

“You want me to find out about your sister-in-law's relationship ?” harry asked, not believing his boss' orders.

“Hem”

“Why?” Harry still needs an explanation.

“You remember the incident at the hotel when I first met with Chalissa?”

Harry smiled blandly.

“Of course. It was a hot incident between papa and mama Killian”, Harrys said.

Plaques

Spontaneous Ansel throws a pen that almost hits Harrys.

“You alone are luring me. So what does that have to do?” Harrys grunting.

“Cindy, was the person behind the incident”

“What?!” surprised Harrys. “So. Wait, you want to say” Harrys was silent for a moment to catch his breath, “she was a woman that night?” harry's question could not hold back.

“Iya”

Harrys' eyes were round.

“Find out, does Keenan already know the woman's job. Then, how close their relationship” said Ansel.

“Baik”

“I did not expect, the director of your relationship with Chalissa appeared” Harrys sighed.

Then they looked at each other with their own thoughts.
