"Maybe yes, we lied as a couple. But. my affection for you is true" replied Riland, looking deeply into Melisa's eyes.
Melisa's eyes were festering and both her lips were open. He looked in disbelief at Riland with blank eyes, as if his soul was floating away from his body.
"Mel ?" Ask Riland. Even he had to snap his finger in order for Melisa to return to her consciousness.
Melisa opened her eyes and returned to reality. "Hahahaha," Melisa laughed blandly from being forced to.
"Cock laughing ?" Riland furrowed his brows not understanding.
"You're kidding, aren't you ?" Ask Melisa.
"Hahahaha," Melisa returned laughing, and she just had to do it.
Riland who saw that was holding hands while astonished.
"Lu-funny, though,. Sir. Although actually I don't understand the joke Father," said Melisa all wrong.
"So keep laughing just so don't get fired ? Let the effect appreciate me, is that it ?" Tanya Riland.
Melisa nodded her head justifying. "Yes" he said innocently.
Riland let out a sigh, then stepped his foot closer to Melisa. He lifted the girl's chin to look at her.
Melisa is surprised by what Riland is doing, but she is also unable to resist. Until now their eyes met and locked.
"I'm not kidding" Riland said with a serious look on his face.
"Huh ?" Melisa muttered softly, and her lips became slightly open because of that.
Riland's eyes were fixed on those lips, he had almost forgotten the next sentence that was about to be spoken.
"I'm not kidding" repeated Riland.
"I know, you wouldn't believe me if I told you I loved you. All right, let's start slowly... I like you" said Riland again and he said it slowly until Melisa could hear him clearly.
"A- what ?" Melisa asked in disbelief, even she had to swallow her own saliva with great difficulty because she was so surprised.
"I like you, Mel. I like adult men in women. Not like it because you're a good employee" explained Riland.
Melisa felt that she was in a dreamland. He could not believe what he had just heard. Melisa wants to deny all this, but unfortunately Riland says it all while looking into her eyes so deeply that Melisa does not see the lie there.
"It sure surprised you, but what I felt was the truth. Im falling in love with you, I'm in love with you,"
Melisa was still silent. The words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.
"Seeing you with Raya, it tormented me with jealousy. I know what I'm about to say is very evil, but I'm glad you parted with him. Because that way, I can get close to you and make you mine. Do you want that chance ?"
"Huh ?" Melisa still can't control herself.
"Give me a chance to make you fall in love with me" Riland said.
If Riland knew, he would not have to ask because Melisa already had the same taste. Even the girl fell in love first. He loved Riland from the first time he met her. The feeling grew bigger every day and never once went out of his heart. Although Melisa had been in contact with Raya, but in fact only Riland became the owner of the girl's heart.
"Mel ? You want to give me ?" Riland asked, his eyes looking deeper and demanding an answer.
"But what about Mona?" Melisa asked timidly.
Riland smiled, "you see, didn't he exist ? And my family's not excited because I'm taking you as a future wife. If Mona is really my fiancee, my parents should have rejected your presence. But it's not really ?"
"Of course they're not mad, because Mona and I were never engaged. It's just...,"
"Well you guys here ?" Asked Mama Riland who suddenly came. Making the man remove his thumb from Melisa's chin and he also did not have time to finish his sentence.
" Working later ! it's lunch time now. Everyone is waiting for you two" explained Mama Riland and she did not want to be denied.
"Yep, Mel," the middle-aged woman held Melisa's hand and took her away. Leaving Riland alone in a state of uncertainty, because Melisa has not yet answered her statement of love. There was nothing Riland could do but follow the steps of the two women.
In the back garden, everyone had been sitting in their seats. Mona is sitting with her mother. The girl looked cynically and coldly at Melisa whose hand was held by Mama Riland.
"It turns out they were alone inside again," said Mama Riland to everyone who was waiting for his arrival.
Hearing that, Melisa's face was hot. A red tinge adorned both of her cheeks. "Ngh.. not so," said Melisa embarrassed.
"Ish is okay, his name is also young," cut the mother.
"But don't be too hard ! Because if you two are, that third one is a demon. You do not want if Riland seduce," continued the Mama with a very thick Sundanese dialect.
"Don't want Riland to ask for nananinu, wait until you get married first" he whispered to Melisa until the girl's eyes were patterned.
"A-I-" Melisa flutter, while Riland looks ordinary because he doesn't hear her.
"Don't think about it, let's sit down and eat,"
Melisa also sat her body on an empty chair that had been provided for her. Then, Riland followed next to him. "What did I say until you were so shocked ?" Riland's whisper.
Melisa shook her head slowly. "There's nothing" he replied in a lie. It couldn't have been if he had told Riland the truth.
"Sister Mel, his pants are enough ?" Asked Riland's younger sister who turned out to be sitting right in front of him..
"Ah yes, enough. Thank you," said Melisa while smiling gently at him.
"Thank God then" he said again. But, after that the sister no longer invited Melisa to talk because she began to busy scooping food on a man's plate.
He was young, probably his age. He looks neat in a checkered shirt and a haircut. From her second body language, Melisa is convinced that the man is the lover of her younger sister Riland.
"Watch your own house, Mel. Don't be shy," Riland's mother spoke again because she saw Melisa was still silent, not to mention scooping food on her plate.
Melisa smiled and immediately chose whatever she wanted for lunch. The atmosphere was so warm, everyone threw jokes and laughter at lunch. Until Melisa doesn't feel awkward.
***
Melisa was enjoying various pieces when a girl she knew came over. It just so happened that Melisa was standing alone while watching the many flower plants owned by Mama Riland.
While the hot boss was chatting with his other relatives. Sometimes he steals a glance at Melisa to make sure the girl is okay. Because since earlier Melisa was much mobbed by her brother who asked about the content of their ads.
They said, the ad starring Riland and Melisa made a baper. And they also feel happy because it turns out the two are really related. Melisa who heard that could only smile resignedly. He cannot deny nor dare to justify.
"Don't be happy first" said a girl who suddenly stood next to Melisa. Who else if not Mona.
Melissa turned her head, looking at the sound.
"Originally you know, Riland doesn't really like you. He just doesn't want to get married in a hurry so bring you here as if his girlfriend," continued Mona, even though Melisa did not invite him to talk.
"You see that girl? She's Riland's sister who's getting married soon. The chatty Mama Riland did not want her son to be stepped on, therefore Riland had wanted to be betrothed to me. But, it turns out that the man did not want to be betrothed, Riland still wanted to mess around. In the end Mama Riland agreed to cancel our match, on the condition that Riland must have his own candidate. So he took you in as a cover. Just to fool her mother" Mona explained.
"So... You don't baper with Riland, he just benefits your stupidity. I'm a rich woman, she doesn't want to, let alone one like you. See for yourself, isn't Riland rich ? You may not like the mediocre. Believe me the same thing I said." Mona patted Melisa's shoulder before she left.
