Xavier William Miller is Wilson's cousin, the son of his aunt's younger brother. Ever since Xavier was a child, Wilson had always intervened in taking care of him because Xavier's parents were really busy. Undeniably, Wilson is the type of brother who is very considerate with his sister. Especially considering if he is an only child who always whines asking for a sister every day, it is only natural that he loves Xavier very much and to volunteer to take care of his cousin who was once very cute.
Let's just say Wilson takes care of everything, whatever it is that's directly related to Xavier. Starting from entering the playground at the age of three years until they separated when Xavier's parents decided to send their children abroad.
You can imagine how close Wilson was to Xavier. People often even say, they are like a betel in two, to two different siblings of the parents.
Their age was far enough, all because the Aunt was hard to get children, had to wait ten years since the wedding before finally, unexpectedly, God left Xavier on them. Though previously they had the intention to adopt children so that their efforts can be continued and continue until the next generations.
The presence of Xavier in the middle of the Miller family is a blessing that makes them not stop being grateful to say the name of God. Xavier is actually a good boy who always obeys the words of people older than him, his attitude is also friendly, although rich he never even chose to be friends with people who are one caste with him as well.
It was just that he was a petty boy, often frenzied himself, noisy, and lastly, always teasing a beautiful woman who was basically just a fad.
And yes... Wilson could at least stand Xavier's last described habit. His head felt dizzy every time he got a call from an unknown woman. His cousin was really rude, casually giving his phone number to every woman he seduced. And when scolded and asked the reason, Xavier grinfully replied; I did not memorize my phone number, Brother.
He was still too young, this year entered seventeen years, but his behavior was already like an old man, more precisely like a basket-eyed man. Even Xavier's own mother called her son a land crocodile because so many girls were being played.
Xavier's smile that was originally wide now slowly began to disappear when he found Veila who was in front of him with a distance that was still quite far. Wilson attempted to tell her she was Veila Amor, the person she had told Xavier by phone months ago, just three days before her wedding.
Initially, Xavier was against Wilson's second marriage, defending Maureen desperately, saying that Wilson's first wife would be disappointed. However, after a long argument with his cousin and the possibility of interfering with his choice, Xavier finally agreed and chose not to come to Wilson's second wedding. No, it wasn't that he hated Wilson's second wife at the time, it was just that he was being faced with a midterm exam.
"Xavier, she's Veila Amor, the woman I once was"
"Sstt, shut up, brother. I was looking at the pretty face of my sister up ahead. The brother looked familiar, like he had met ...“ Xavier interrupted Wilson with his gaze fixed on Veila.
A few seconds he was silent, triggering his brain to recall well about the familiarity of Veila's face in his memory. And just as Wilson was about to end the silent, obscure event, Xavier immediately shouted with excitement. "Oh God! You are my frog's daughter! How did this happen? Brother Wilson, this brother is one reason why in fourth grade I always come home late. He's the minimarket keeper who helped me pick up frogs in the culverts. I remember, the face of this big brother frog has not changed!" exclaimed Xavier, his eyes that had dimmed now again sparkled when the memory was again present penetrating his brain which sometimes often dusty by itself.
Yes, a few years ago, when Xavier was still in his elementary school uniform, every afternoon, he always told an older brother he called the frog princess to Wilson. No wonder, he's the son of a rich man, his play therapy with complex children who like to catch tadpoles and keep frogs in jars.
Sometimes Wilson gets overwhelmed if Xavier's pet frog comes off and makes his mother—Monya Hovers—forces to call the frog handler, or tells her to find him and immediately throw him away. She said that if her frog daughter was very beautiful, not afraid of the water in the sewers, always gave her free sausage too if she accidentally stopped by the minimarket where the frog princess worked. And Xavier had said his desire to marry his frog daughter when he grew up.
"Oh my god, Brother Wilson.. You're cornering me?“ xavier asked with a contrived sad expression, making Wilson frown because he still did not understand the meaning of the words of his cousin's sister. Besides, how does Wilson know that Veila is the frog princess that Xavier meant long ago?
Knowing that Wilson would not return his words, Xavier immediately ran towards Veila, hugged her tightly and said, "Sister doesn't remember me? I'm Xavier Miller, the little boy that you always give me a sausage wrap. Because I was also the older brother was always scolded by the owner of the minimarket. Brother never refused if I asked for help catching frogs or herding tadpoles into plastic bags."
Hearing that explanation, Veila also tried to remember. It didn't take long, and he finally remembered who Xavier was, returning the man's embrace when he realized that it was a little brother who always whined in front of the minimarket because it was underestimated by his friends because he could not catch frogs or tadpoles in the culverts.
"I didn't even expect that you were a sweet squirrel always whining in front of the minimarket. Aren't you growing up well now?" Veila's successful answer made Wilson gawk.
Xavier was not at all making up beautiful at the moment, the man said honestly and was lucky to still be remembered by Veila. Wilson should try not to envy his own cousin.
"For God's sake, Brother is getting prettier. And, oh! Is Brother pregnant? Woah, I'm gonna have a niece in a minute. If a man I'll take him as a brother, and if a woman I'll marry him ouch...."
Not finished he said, Wilson had already hit the top of his head with a fist, making him complain slowly and continue rubbing his head that felt pained.
Wilson was certainly getting upset that Xavier was sticking his tongue out at him and then hiding his giggles.
After that, Xavier stretched out his arms again before Veila, asking for an indirect hug after his first hug just slipped out. Veila certainly had no problem with that, but as Xavier moved his face forward, the man immediately got a punch and push in the face from Wilson who managed to get his embrace off. The man realized that Xavier must have wanted to kiss Veila with anxiety.
"Aish! If I were older than big brother, I would definitely curl big brother's neck all-out!" furious Xavier, rubbing his face rough, sulked with Wilson's attitude just now.
He punched his head, and added it with a punch. Though he did not mean anything, just want to let go of the longing with his frog daughter during SD. After all it was him who met Veila first, and here he was the victim of his own cousin's sister's bend.
"My head was dizzy to hear the chattering of the two of you," Veila said, making Wilson and Xavier both turn their heads towards Veila, looking at her with concern. It would be terrible if they both make a pregnant woman stress because of her behavior.
To divert the discussion, Xavier said, "Oh yeah, which Maureen?"
"Staying at his parents' house."
***
However, Maureen did not stay at her parents' house. The woman accidentally booked a hotel room, stayed there. His goal was simply to calm his mind and seek the answer of his heart. What steps should he take next? And here at the hotel cafeteria, he and Leo were sitting together.
"As you know, Wilson seems to have taken a liking to Veila. Isn't that your original goal, Maureen? Then, if it's like this, what else should you wait for? Farewell is waiting for you in plain sight." Leo spoke seriously, turning his entire gaze towards Maureen who was now bowing her head.
The woman's breath was hunting, for the umpteenth time she said in her heart, saying that she could not leave Wilson.
"L-leo, can you wait a little longer?" maureen asked in a very small voice. He waits for Leo's answer, but all he finds now is a chuckle from Leo's lips, indicating clearly that the man is really fed up with it all.
“Rather than keep waiting a long time, what if we just end it all, Maureen? Isn't that what you want? You think my feelings can hang up constantly? Without needing to say, I already know that you're actually starting to love Wilson. All that strengthened when Veila was present in your midst. It hurts me too much to see you being more concerned about Wilson when your mouth says you want to get away from him. I think my suffering and your unrest will be over if we agree to end all this silliness" Leo explained, his heart tightened as he said that.
"It's not so, Leo. I just want you to wait a little longer. Wait till Wilson leaves me."
"Ck, selfish. You want to make yourself happy? You know, Maureen, Veila is actually the luckiest woman right now. He who was originally only used as an impingement by Wilson is now starting to get love from the man. And I, I think it's better to be in contact with Veila than you. If this continues, acting only to make yourself happy, slowly you will lose everything" Leo replied at length, then without saying goodbye immediately left Maureen.
Wilson.
Leos.
Unknowingly, Maureen had already lost both of them.
