The Emperor Neptune
Search VI

"Sir, empty my job for 1 month." pinta Violet when they were both in the car to the exhibition site of a cosmetics brand that contracted Violet to be one of the models.

"What Vi? 1 month? You're not wrong?" uci asked in shock at Violet's sudden request.

Violet shook her head.

"Is it because of your problems with Lisa?"

"No. But I feel tired. I want a vacation."

"If it's your problem with Lisa I can help you fix all this Vi."

"no need. We're fine, it's just that I'm honestly still disappointed by his attitude."

"Vi, you guys just misunderstood."

"I don't really care if he wants to be in a relationship with anyone. I was just disappointed why she adored Kay so much that she was afraid of refusing to diner and asking me to take her place. And now she's with Mark, Kay's secretary. Imagine what if Kay found out? Wouldn't she be disappointed by Lisa's attitude?"

"Hmmmmm... Violet, how long have you been Lisa's sister?"

"What kind of question is Uci?" violet got a question she thought didn't need an answer.

"Here you go, just answer!"

"Since I was born." replied Violet lazily.

"How many years has it been?"

"23 years." Violet while playing her fingernails.

"For all this time who's taken care of all your affairs, as long as your parents are not around." Uci's question managed to silence Violet, resuscitating her in a loud manner.

Her memories returned when they were little together, every time Violet had trouble her brother who always helped her, every herself wanted something her brother was always trying to get for her.

Her tears escaped from the dam of her eyelids.

"It is she who always understands and sacrifices for me" said Violet.

"Nobody knows him better than you know him. Do you think he has the kind of nature you mentioned earlier?"

Violet shook her head,

"I'm not sure."

"Although Vi is right, you can't just judge her without giving her a chance to explain. Although sometimes Lisa seems to be organizing, forcing, even more childish but she has a great sweetness to the people she loves. You know, sometimes he's spoiled because he also wants to feel the attention and affection he gives to the people around him." Uci's explanation hit hard on Violet's selfishness.

Violet nodded her head, understanding her mistake.

"But I still want to break 1 month old."

"Why Vi?" the voice of the UCi is now softer.

"I'm tired mbak. I want to have some time to enjoy my life, like most people. Yes, although I like my job, but I feel like I really want to rest and pamper myself."

"But 1 month is really long Vi."

"Retail mebak Uci how for 1 month I can take off."

"What about your contract with the big events?"

"Cancel! If only ad shooting and so on if it can be advanced by the schedule, just go ahead. I'm going to take a day off next week."

"Are you sure of your decision?"

"Yakin. So set everything up from tomorrow."

"Although very unfortunate, and you know I had to." Uci warmly grasps Violet's hand.

"Hahaha. Thank you, mbak Uci. You're the best."

"I know. And I am always reliable." answered Uci confidently.

"Hahaha." they both laughed.

21:30 pm

Tok tok...

"Son, I'm in.."

No answer from inside.

Violet opened Lisa's room door, her face turned cackling, not looking at her brother.

"Where is he? Didn't come home yet." thought Violet as she sat by her brother's bed.

Chequek...

Lisa came out of the bathroom door.

"When did I get into my room?" asked Lisa who was surprised to see Violet in her room.

"It was only a minute ago. I knocked on the door and there was no answer from inside. So I'm in. Sorry yes."

Lisa nodded her head, though,

"I'm in the bathroom with this." Lisa replied as she showed the headset in her ear.

"What's wrong?" ask her then while sitting on the other side of her bed.

"So I'm sorry for my attitude these few days." Violet approached her brother.

"No need to apologize. You're not wrong with me."

"But two days I didn't say hello and avoided you."

"I think you need some time alone Vi. I understand you may have been disappointed in me for hiding my relationship with Mark."

"I was really surprised. But after I thought it was all your decision. And I'm sure you wouldn't choose him without considering a lot of things."

"Thanks Vio, you have understood and accepted my choice" Lisa said as she hugged Violet by her side.

"of course. It's just that I alluded to how could it be with Secretary Mark? Doesn't sister adore Kay?" Violet returned her brother's embrace.

Lisa smiled at her sister's question. Lisa understands behind Violet's question there is an intention to know a lot about Kay.

"It seems that in this story you will exchange the opportunity to become bucin." Lisa's inner.

"I really admired Kay at first. Just think Vi, which woman can resist Kay's charm? But I realized that I wasn't what Kay wanted, and knowing Mark made me very comfortable. I've never felt this comfortable in a relationship. Even when LDR and holding back longs he managed to make me believe so much in his loyalty."

"Easy then?"

"Vi, in love we don't need much time to understand it. When we are comfortable and sure it is the best choice, you should not be wasted by stalling. Moreover, using ancient reasons such as, we need time to get to know each other, we have not long known, or do not believe and fear disappointment. When we waste time and opportunity then in the future we have little time to fight. So sure to fight straight away. So don't regret it." Lisa advised her sister.

"But isn't taking a hasty decision not good either?"

"Not that I told you that we are comfortable and sure that it is the best choice. If you're not sure it doesn't happen."

"But shouldn't women be expensive?"

"Sell expensive does not mean you make a man wait for you to lower your value with no certainty. The man is obliged to fight NOT to wait for vague expectations."

"yes too. It's worth the time Kay introduced his future wife in the press conference that brother looks ordinary and not sad." Violet nudged her shoulder on her brother's shoulder while blinking her eyes at Lisa.

"Then does Kay understand your relationship?" violet continued later.

Lisa stood up, moved to a chair at her dresser.

"I don't think so."

"Are Mark afraid to tell Kay?"

"Not scared. But rather not the right time."

"Why?"

"I don't know for sure Vi, Mark didn't explain it in detail."

"Where is Kay now? Why did it suddenly disappear?"

"I don't know where he is either. When I asked Mark just to say that Kay was in a very far place from here. And she's being focused" Lisa refrains from continuing her speech.

"Fokus preparing for the wedding?" violet asked with a thumping chest.
