Just Being a Doll Wife
7. Merilin Anxiety

Still on the weekend.

The same weekend for Merylin, all day she stayed at the house of Jesi. One of his best friends.

Merilin dropped the body on the bed. Letting her hair that she had just shampooed get severed. It was dry, but he had not yet combed. His hair is irregular.

While at his desk, Jesi with shorts and a loose t-shirt. Her dark and beautiful long hair looked completely unkempt. He tied it up recklessly. Merilin's friend was fighting with the deadline for these three days. He did not even take a shower let alone think about appearance.

His contract became livable due to the arrival of Merylin. The girl swept, mopped, washed the pile of dishes, even washed the clothes of Jesi. While contemplating the fate and life choices that he will take.

His depleted energy was no more exhausting than the burden on his mind right now.

The man she loved, offered her a wedding. Not with him, but with another man. A man who looks so perfect and can save Merilin from all the burden she bears on her shoulders.

Merilin looked at the back of Jesi who was bowing while moving her hands agilely. Jesi is a comic book author. The comic is quite popular with the fantasy romance genre. A unique girl who will work harder if there is someone next to her. He was not bothered with the people around him. His hands can still focus on drawing even though he hears people's babble. Perhaps all of his natural talents were forged from when he was a child.

Jesi was born to a poor family, she used to be neighbors with Merilin since the girl was still struggling with happiness. Narrow tenement house that must be inhabited with the Jesi family, making it not to be whiny. He had a talent for drawing long ago, even when he was only capitalized he had already won an SMU level drawing competition.

He is really cool, just try if he can divide the time well. Merilin muttered to herself.

Why am I even worried about Jesi who can live so coolly, I will have my own problems.

“Jes if I get married what do you think?” Merilin buried her face in bed. Covering his head with a pillow.

Jesi immediately turned the body leaving the screen of his image. Dropped the pen he was holding. Slip into bed. Grabbing the pillow that Merilin was wearing covered her face. Merylin's face looked tangled like a pile of worn-out comics in her bookcase.

“What Brother Gege proposed to you. Aaaaaa!” Jesi screamed happily by herself. “Finally, Brother Gege proposed to you. See now, I told you, true love will be met by God, the wait for love is the process of achieving happiness, Merylin, true love is not only in the comics. A girl as good as you will definitely find the prince of your dreams. Glad I'm Mei. Deandra would have fainted when she heard this news.”

Jesi glee himself. But immediately stopped the shaking of his hand on Merylin's shoulder, because the expression on Merylin's face instead looked happy but like a person who was heartbroken.

Jesi and Dean were the only two people who knew how Merilin harbored deep feelings for Serge. Jesi has often met with Serge because they are one campus, while Dean only heard stories from both.

“Why? Why are you sad?” bewildered.

“I'll just say if, who said Kak Gege proposed to me. Basic.” Pushing Jesi with a pillow until the girl toppled over to the bed. “It's back there to your desk, work there! Make a lot of money and marry the man you love. Hiks.”

It was like the cry of Merilin that he had been enduring started trying to break into his defense again.

“Hei why?” Jesi began to be infested with fear as Merylin completely shed tears. Merilin rarely cries. Even when her older brother got married and left was a big responsibility. He just bit his lips and nodded his head. The last time Jesi saw Merilin cry was at the death of her father. “You only want to marry Brother Gege. That's your dream.”

It's very sad, I even made marrying Kak Serge as an ideal.

Sorry Merylin said it too. Jesi's brain and head are full of fantasy. He must have made his own speculations by now.

“Lantas, you want to marry who Mei.” is

Well, that's right. I really can't lie to him.

“You can't suddenly talk about marriage if there's nothing. You said you'd focus on paying off your father's debt. Until you feel you deserve to stand in front of Brother Gege. You won't even glance at another man.”

That's right, that's the plan Merilin muttered. If he does not feel rejected even before expressing feelings. There was no hope in his love, not even a thin thread. Serge doesn't have the same feelings as him at all.

Merilin rolled grabbing a pillow. Then look at the ceiling of the room.

“Yes, who knows there's a wealthy conglomerate looking for a wife. That could help me pay off my father's loan debt, which could help with my mother's treatment. And also guarantee Harven's future. Haha. Sometimes I feel it's much better now.” Speak with a bitter voice. Jesi who heard it so felt wrong on her own.

“Already, why think about it. Now all we have to do is make a lot of money. Then chase our love.” Jesi sows spirit.

“Hemm, already there. Deadline.”

Merilin pointed at the table. Jesi got up while yelling and let out a loud crying sound back at her desk. She was doing the coloring on a character who was already like her own children.

“May, if you tell Kak Gege now.” His eyes did not move from the image he was making. Jesi did not see the sad radiance that appeared in Merilin's eyes. “Kan at least you can date.” Isn't it better than love in silence Jesi thought.

“Sister Gege is too good for me Jes.”

“What the hell, you're really good too. Proof, you want to be friends with me.” Enough to know yourself, if the advantages are only talent for drawing and a beautiful face. About manners, crafts, neatness, money, social status maybe Jesi is at the lowest line as a girl. But at least he is not dirty until he accumulates garbage in the house. His house is just a mess.

“Haha, yes too. You're gonna have to buy me a good meal after payday. How many times have I cleaned your house, washed your clothes, cooked for you.” Merilin chuckled as she lifted the pillow and threw it at Jesi's body. Jesi laughed but continued to focus on her work. The pillow hit the seat and then fell to the floor. Merilin laughed again. “I'm like your mother.”

“You're my angel know.” Jesi turned her head, smiling sincerely at her best friend who was lying on her bed. “I will always pray for your happiness.”

That's how their friendship is with each other. Today Merylin still did not dare to tell Jesi. He never hid anything from his two best friends.

He is still too shy to admit, if his love claps one hand. He also still does not dare to say, if now he is thinking of marrying a man like Mr. Rionald.

I'll tell you later if all is for sure. Merylin muttered, before she fell asleep. Jesi turned her head when she did not hear the sound. He got up and put the pillow under Merylin's head.

“May you always get May happiness, because you are the kindest woman in the world.” Stroked Merylin's hair and returned her shirt. Screaming without a sound. “Deadline shit!”
