The Bride of the Curse Repellent
A Better Figure

"Where's my brother-in-law, huh?" velix asked the image of himself above the surface of the lake.

This little boy was again in an artificial lake in the backyard of the school. However, this time the purpose of coming here was not to be alone. But to wait for the arrival of Sherina who yesterday had made an appointment with him.

"Huhh .. he won't break his promise, will he?" ask Velix again. Her heart begins to be enveloped by fear, she is afraid that Sherina will lie to her like other adults who often do that to her.

Velix was getting restless and hesitant, he had been waiting for a long time but there was still no sign of his brother-in-law coming. In fact, soon the time limit will be outside. He has received warnings from the manager many times. If he doesn't want to get punished, this time he can't be late again to go back to the dorm.

SRAK ...

The sound of footsteps passing through the grass. Velix immediately turned around and stood up, with a carefree smile shouting, "Sister-in-law! E-eh ...?"

In the next second, Velix's smile disappeared, and his countenance turned to disappointment. Because that person is not the brother-in-law who is waiting for, but his male friend who also lives in the dormitory. "Rafael, it's you."

"Of course it's me! Come on, come with me! The hostel manager is looking for you!" take this boy named Rafael while pulling Velix's hand.

"Why lookin' for me? I didn't make any trouble, there's 10 minutes left anyway. I want to stay here and wait for my brother-in-law! I'm sure, today he will come and keep his promise!" rebut Velix while shaking off Rafael's hand.

"Come Velix! Don't complicate me! I was asked by the manager to look for you, and you are now told to come to his room! I also don't know why the manager is looking for you!"

"But ...." Velix fell into a dilemma. Deep down, he felt both trust and doubt at this thin time. Though he had already assumed that if Sherina was a good sister-in-law figure to him, he was still reluctant to admit if his promise today was void. He was eager to wait for the remaining 10 minutes until the end, but he realized that at this moment he was facing another urgent situation.

"Alright, I'll come with you back to the dormitory" Velix replied in a forced tone.

These two boys walked back to the dorm together. Rafael just escorted Velix to the front room of the hostel. After parting ways with his close friend, feeling a little nervous, he knocked on the door.

"Manager, this is Velix."

"Yes, comein!" answer a woman whose voice is loud.

Velix opened the wooden door. How shocked he was when he saw the whereabouts of brother along with his sister-in-law in the room. "You guys ...?" Velix gawks, he's really confused as to what kind of reason would make Vicky and Sherina come together again.

"Velix, come here!" pinta the caretaker's mother. And after Velix got close to him, he rubbed the little boy's head and said, "Velix, your brother came here to pick you up."

"Pick me up?" ask Velix who still does not fully understand the situation.

"Yes, Velix. We came here to take you home, from today you don't have to stay in the dorm anymore" Vicky replied with a small smile.

"really? Brother Vicky didn't lie, did he?!"

"Haha, how could I possibly lie. If you don't believe me, just ask your brother-in-law."

"Right, Velix, we're here to pick you up. Come on, pack your things! Or, do you want me to help you?" said Sherina who was also with a smile.

Velix's heart was pounding, he was so happy because the moments he had always dreamed of finally arrived. All he knew was that he was supposed to have a meeting with Sherina by the lake. However, even if her brother-in-law reneged on the promise, she did not feel sad at all. She was very happy that Sherina came with an even bigger surprise.

"Well, I'll pack my things soon! Not much, though! I can do it myself!" Velix ran as fast as he could with carefree steps. He rushed to his room, and arranged all the things he wanted to bring back into his suitcase.

The sudden pickup of Velix is able to shock all residents of the dormitory. Though so far Velix is famous as a child who is less noticed, but now, they know that their judgment is wrong. After Velix says goodbye to his friends, he can't wait to get into his sister's car and go home to the house he always misses.

"Sister Vicky! Before we go home, we stop by the kiosk at the end of the road over there, yeah! I heard from my friends that the new stall was selling good drinks! I want to stop by there!" the enthusiastic Pinta Velix.

"All right, let's go over there. Don't forget to fasten your seat belts!" vicky replied with a sigh. He didn't expect that Velix's reaction would be this happy.

Vicky granted his little sister's request, feeling that this was what she deserved. As long as he is able and has enough time, he must accompany and accompany his expressive sister. All this did not escape the interference of Sherina, because thanks to her, Vicky finally realized and corrected his mistake.

After Velix felt quite satisfied, the three of them went straight home. However, instead of looking and hugging the mother once she got home, Velix pulled Sherina's hand to come to her room.

"Sister-in-law! Come here!" exclaim Velix with passionate enthusiasm.

"Haha, slow down." Sherina laughed, for some reason she could not refuse every request that Velix made to her.

"Well, this is my room! I miss my bed!" Velix took Sherina's hand off. Then he turned to lay himself on his bed. And then a moment later he moved again. Suddenly opening his suitcase, he searched for something among the pile of clothes.

"Hm? Is this really for me?" sherina asked with a not so sure look. Because the thing in front of him looked so beautiful. A necklace with a pendant is made of resin in which there is a dandelion flower.

"Yes, this is a craft I made myself. I gave this to Brother-in-law! As a form of my thanks!"

"Thank you for what?" asked Sherina who was getting confused.

"Thank you for everything! Especially for coaxing Vicky's sister to get me home!"

"Eh, how do you know about that?"

"Of course I know. Because it was my sister-in-law who accompanied my brother when he picked me up! If Vicky's sister comes with mom, then another story. I'm right, brother?" velix asked with a mischievous smile. However, that smile was not aimed at Sherina.

"What?!" Sherina looked back, surprised that Vicky was already at the door of Velix's room. He thought, since when did Vicky stand there? How could he not have noticed his arrival?

"Haisshh .. I got caught." Vicky then stepped into the room. Actually, he's been following Velix and Sherina in secret. Because he wanted to know what kind of thing this little brother would do. And after observing his sister's behavior, he smiled with satisfaction because he realized that the decision he took was not wrong.

"Sherina, just take the necklace. Very rarely does Velix want to share," said Vicky with a slightly satirical tone. Intended to tease his little sister.

"God ... Brother Vicky! Don't insinuate me! I'm gonna give you what to brother-in-law, it's up to me!" chirps Velix with her nosy face.

"Haha, okay. Then I'll take it," Sherina replied, accepting the beautiful necklace.

"Good! And now, it's Brother Vicky's turn to put that necklace on Sister-in-law!"

"What-what?!" Vicky and Sherina flinched.

"Come ... time doing that alone can't?" velix asked while pursing his lips.

"Yes-yes, I will! Basic Velix, there's-there's a way!" Vicky took the necklace from Sherina's hand. As for Sherina, she felt awkward about this situation. Though Vicky would just put a necklace around his neck, somehow he felt nervous about making it.

"Please face it!" pinta Vicky is ready to pair a necklace.

"okay." Sherina nodded slowly, then turned around and flicked her unraveled hair to the front side, to make it easier for Vicky when pairing the necklace.

"Gnup ...." Vicky swallowed. When she saw Sherina's smooth, white neck, she tried her best to hide her nervousness.

Apparently there was a small mole behind Sherina's ear, and her neck was smooth as well. Wait a minute... Have I gone crazy?! Why would I have such thoughts?! Since when did I become a pervert?!

Vicky's face suddenly blushed, then as quickly as possible put the necklace around Sherina's neck. "It's done!" he said, throwing his face away, he did not want his face to be seen by his wife.

"Have you? Thank you," Sherina replied in an awkward tone. He pulled his hair back, and saw the necklace that had been attached to his neck. Truly a beautiful necklace, the handmade Velix apparently can be as beautiful as this.

"Hehehe, it's perfect for sister-in-law!" yelled Velix who suddenly grabbed Sherina. "I really like Sherina! If only Vicky had married you earlier! I will definitely bless you!"

"V-Vellix!" Sherina.

"Why? I said what it was, really. I'd rather Sherina than the fierce Queen of Egypt!" velix said again without a sense of hesitation. Since long ago he did not like Cleo very much, even always calling Cleo with such a disrespectful nickname.

"Uhh .." Shouts Sherina who secretly notices Vicky's facial features.

How'this? Vicky kept quiet, was he offended by what Velix said just now? But I didn't think Velix would say that either. I felt guilty instead, as if I were taking Cleo's position. In fact, those who bought me to be in this position.

Silent, the atmosphere that had been so warm suddenly became cold. The clueless Velix just kept quiet with his innocent gaze. As for Sherina, she did not speak out of fear of only going to put out inappropriate words.

On one side Vicky was still silent. She made no comment about her sister comparing Sherina to her boyfriend. In the midst of this silence, he was pensive with blank eyes. "...."- ".

Why would Velix say that? I know that he's been having a hard time getting along with Cleo. And now he's blatantly saying that he likes Sherina better. All this time I realized that the two of them had a lot of differences, but I didn't know which one was better between them.

I've known Cleo for a long time, I already know her good and bad attitude. As for Sherina, I haven't known her for a long time, now I'm still trying to find out more about her. But, if Velix whose mind was still plainly said like this, is it true that Sherina is a better figure than Cleo?
