Not a Curse
41. Be possessive

"Mother, someone wants Edgar to meet Mom" Edgar leads Gendis to the living room.

"Who?? Is there a guest??" Gendis was curious about that one bachelor.

Edgar just smiled to answer his mother.

"Good afternoon Auntie" Sapa a pretty girl on Gendis.

Gendis was still a little confused before seeing the timid smiles of Edgar and his girlfriend.

"Good afternoon. What a beauty, who is this??" Gendis welcomed the girl's hand.

"His name is Alisa Bu, she's a special friend of Edgar's" Edgar explained but got a sharp glint from Gendis.

"Mom didn't ask you!! I want to hear from the future mother's own daughter-in-law" The girl who was called Alisa by Edgar was only able to smile shyly, because she did not expect that Gendis would welcome her well.

"I'm Alisa Ma'am. I'm a friend of Mas Edgar's" he said softly.

"So just a friend, said Edgar you special friend?? So which one is it really?? Are you confused??" The joke of Gendis again could make Alisa blush embarrassed.

Even with his condition that is not so healthy, Gendis is still able to tempt the two young people.

"Truely said Mas Edgar earlier Mom, we were close friends for quite a long time" replied the gentle girl.

"Let's sit down first, it's not good to talk while standing"

Gendis patted the sofa next to her, asking Alisa to sit there.

"If you've been close enough, why did you just meet Alisa to Ed's mother??" Edgar grimaced and scratched his nape.

"Maybe Mas Edgar isn't sure about Alisa Ma'am. Because Alisa from an ordinary family and orphaned" replied Alisa looked down sad.

Indeed, Alisa had long wanted to know the mother of her lover. But for various reasons Edgar always buy his time.

"Really Ed??" Gendis sharp lyrics.

"Alisa, that's not what I meant" Edgar was already scared by his mother's gaze.

"Mother, Edgar did not look at Alisa that way. Do you remember Bang Erland?? He was willing to put aside his love affairs in order to work hard to finance my school and Sister Endah. So according to Edgar, before Edgar was sure to get married. Edgar had to prove first with Bang Erland and Mother that Bang Erland's efforts were not in vain. Edgar wants to succeed first, earning himself even though he is still working at the company"

Gendis is proud of her children. All are independent and hardworking. Gendis understood that Edgar thought so before bringing Alisa before him.

"I'm sorry Edgar is Alisa. Edgar and his brothers were used to working hard since they were in school. It's also for your own good if you're married. Aunty's children have long been abandoned by her father. So it's not true that Edgar was embarrassed to bring you here just because you were an orphan. We are not that kind of family. What is important for Mother is only a daughter-in-law who can love the children of Mother and her family, and good manners. That's enough"

Alisa felt moved by the kindness of Gendis. He is happy to have a good lover and a good family. Alisa also felt guilty for having a hard time thinking badly of Edgar.

While the twenty-seven-year-old man was relieved that Gendis helped him give Alisa an understanding.

"Then is Alisa living alone??"

"No Mom, Alisa still has an older brother. We're two brothers"

"Where do you work?? One office with Edgar??"

"Not Ma, Alisa works as a nurse at the hospital near Mas Edgar Bu's office" Alisa said. That's what made Edgar's heart melt after many girls who also approached him.

"Wahhh yummy dong you Ed, if sick already have a personal nurse" Goda Gendis.

The three of them continued to talk until Gendis held Alisa captive until dinner arrived. How happy Alisa is because she is well received in the Edgar family.

Viola was still silent unmoved because his mouth was still full of food.

"Isn't Viola campus the same as your office is a good distance, is it??" Sarah wanted to protest but tried her best.

"No papa, it's still early" Erland's reply upset Sarah a little.

"Mas, I'll be out. Gonna see an old friend, all right??" Sarah said spoiled.

"Of course I can. Be careful with the car. If there's anything, call me right away" Erland told his first wife.

"But Mas, I haven't paid. Lately I also only got a few translation books, so maybe not if I borrow money first. But later I promise I'll return it to you that my salary has gone down" Viola was disgusted to see Sarah show a face pleading with Erland.

"Borrow?? Is your money already gone?? You have no savings at all??" Sarah is deep.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you. If in fact all the money from you has run out to renovate the mother's house. The back of the house is leaking and damaged"

"Sarah, I told you. If there's anything to say, there's no need to spend all your money. As much as possible I will help you and your family. You do not need to pinjem, I will send it again for you. Don't be sad" Erland rubbed Sarah's hand gently.

Viola felt like he wanted to laugh, Erland could be so stupid because it was easily deceived by Sarah.

"So this is what Endah meant at the time??" Inner Viola.

"I'm leaving first" Feeling sick to be in between the two of them, a suitable partner because one of them is stupid and the other is smart to play.

"Wait for Brother Vi!!" Erland shouted at Viola who had started to move away.

"I leave first, I'll transfer the money for you" Erland rubbed Sarah's head for a moment before running after Viola.

"Lake Vi!" Erland orders but Viola continues to walk on the shoulder of the road.

It turned out that Viola preferred to walk instead of waiting for Erland who was saying goodbye to Sarah.

"Viola, let's go up. Brother interracial!!" Erland shouted from inside the car because Viola was completely oblivious to it.

"Come in now or Brother will take you home by force and lock you in the house!!" With the threat, Viola finally chose to get into Erland's car, which continued to follow him slowly.

"Why are you Vi?? Are you angry with your brother??" Erland asked after Viola sat sweetly beside Erland.

Viola looked at Erland sharply, recalling what had upset Viola like that.

After their meeting with Yovi at the restaurant two days ago. Erland kept reminding Viola not to get close to Yovi.

Then the highlight was last night, when the two of them were already inside the room. Suddenly Yovi calls Viola. And what made Viola angry was, Erland took Viola's phone for granted. Breaking calls from Yovi and intentionally deleting Yovi's phone number from his phone after blocking it first.

"Tell me why am I angry??" Cynical Viola.

"Vi, about last night I'm sorry. My brother told me to you, don't get close to him. Besides, he also calls people's wives at night"

"Where do I know, it hasn't been raised in matiin yet. Why the hell, we're just victorious. If you want to avoid it there must be a reason!!" Viola replied with annoyance.

"But you don't like it!!"

"Dih.posesive very" Grumpy Viola.
