Before Billy and Aunt Melani came home, I asked Billy to talk to each other. And unlike usual when we spoke with four eyes, this time Billy looked tense when faced with me. And I think that means he's really disinclined that he's been and for the first time made a mistake with me. Big mistake anyway.
"Em, please sit down" I said. "Look down, don't tense up. I'm not angry anymore, unless you intend to run away from responsibility."
He shook his head slowly. "No need, sir. Thank you," he said.
"Sit, Bill. You want me to protest my wife for letting her future brother-in-law stand there? Later I said not to appreciate the prospective sister-in-law."
Ah, it's not good I thought, when subordinates become brothers. Billy usually just stood up when we talked, unless we were discussing the files on the workbench, then we both sat like the boss and subordinates of the real office.
"Woy, man! Sit...!"
With hesitation and a slight nod, Billy complied. "Em, if I may know, what do you want to talk about?"
"Hm, first, about the position Raymond left. Honestly, I still hope Raymond gets back to the office. So for a while I didn't want to find a replacement for Raymond. So, I want you to focus on taking over all the work that Raymond should be handling. Ready it?"
Let's first mention I received. "Ready, sir," he said.
"The second, the relationship between you and Indie later. I don't mind the agreement you made with Indie on the DNA test, as well as the terms like the test results are negative. It's your right that you decide to separate. But you have to divorce her well. No need to get to the legal track."
Billy nodded. "Alright, Sir. I wouldn't do that."
"I hope you keep your promise to love and make your child and wife happy later, either before she gives birth or later after her DNA test shows positive results. Because otherwise, if you're just a "husband status" to Indie which means you're not happy with him, I'll step in. I will not remain silent if you hurt my wife and her family. Understand, right?"
I'm relieved, Billy looks sincere and sincerely says it's "Thank you, Bill. Em. one more. Mama wants you to stay here. It's a pity, too, right, that he was left alone? I hope-"
"Sorry, sir," cut it. "For this I think I object."
I was disappointed. "But, Bill," I said before he interrupted again.
"I don't intend to leave him alone. But if you can, let them stay in my house. The environment there will be more comfortable for them. I mean, away from nosy neighbors. I don't want Indie to be depressed because it is the gossip of the people here. I don't want anything bad to happen to her."
Indeed, it could be. But I think Indie and my mother-in-law are immune enough to the burden they have to bear. They are much stronger than before. But I also have to respect Billy's wishes. "alright. Later try to tell Indie and her mother." And later I will also talk about this with Saints, I thought. My mother-in-law can also stay with us.
"It's actually a simple matter, sir. I don't mind staying here often if later your in-laws - sorry, I mean. If he wants to come back here, I'm willing to stay here. The important thing is that they don't often hear neighbors talking later. I am ashamed of them, too. Oh, but I don't mean to. I'm sorry, sir. I love that kid. I'm just embarrassed to be a neighbor's gossip."
I-i understand. But, anyway I can't say anything. Natural law and society law. Shame for sure, but responsibility must be. So gossip material? Swallow only. Risks.
I also nodded. "I get. And. By the way, change your call to me. Don't call me sir."
"Emm?" He's stunned. "Then what should I call it? I don't feel good about...."
I don't know either. "Whatever, that important call doesn't make my wife protest."
