The Khawatiran Meili

Meili stared so focused on the mobile screen with her eyes open so wide .

" What happened ? " he muttered so thoroughly reading every word on the online news he had just opened.

" What the hell is this "he said emotion.

" What's up meili ? " asked Viona who had just sat at the dinner table, Meili did not answer she continued to stare more and more annoyed at the phone screen.

" It's very brave of them to make bad comments to my best friend" he continued.

" What's the matter Meili? , why are you so angry "asked Viona again.

" For a moment, Mom, I have to call Daniel , he must be responsible for this, huh this really makes me angry" he said while pointing his flat object to the ear.

" yes Meili" replied daniel across.

" Sister what happened, why you and Elin can be in the news "ask Meili raised her voice, "be calm Meili first" Daniel said on the phone.

" How can I calm down, everyone swears so evilly at my best friend, it's all because of you, why are you so brave to bring Elin to the public , everyone thinks she's the third person in your relationship and Hannah "is obviously merciless.

" Be calm first, all I'm doing is "clearly Daniel so Meili can calm down a little.

" As soon as it has to be done, where your great people are, you should have been doing this since yesterday "

" it's been done by me, but the news was so fast and so many were uploading our photos through personal accounts 'it wasn't easy to sort out Meili's ", explained Daniel.

" You're so careless Daniel , you should have thought about this before you brought Elin to the public , my God I'm so emotional 'cause you gotta go faster , do whatever it takes to stop this news "

" or announce to the media that your relationship with Hannah is over and Elin is not the third person among you" Meili continued, making Viona look at her with a surprised look.

" it's not easy nor Meili, if it can be, I've been doing it since yesterday , you think I don't regret this , ''' you know , you think I'm not angry to see my woman in the comments with such a bad word ', I hate this Meili" said Daniel who sounded so frustrated ,

Meili was speechless he knew very well that now Daniel was also hit with the state of the news about him and Elin ,

and from that voice he became aware that Daniel really loved his best friend.

" What's your plan now ? " the question is weakening.

" I was trying to stop this news first, and shut down everyone's access to find out about Elin, now that's all I can do" Daniel explained , he sounded out breathing from behind the phone.

" When are you going to tell the media about your relationship with Hannah that's over "

" I can't be sure yet , the problem is now no longer about me and Hannah but also the company and the employment contract, if I announce the news now so many will be at a disadvantage , including Hannah's career "

" ceh, it turns out that you are still thinking about the fate of your ex-lover and put my best friend in such a bad position" said Meili again heated up "it will not happen Meili , trust me Elin will stay safe, I will do anything for her, you don't have to worry " Daniel said reassuringly.

" For this time I have little doubt, this city is so cruel Daniel, they will keep finding out who Elin is , and I won't be able to calm down as long as you haven't clarified about your relationship with Hannah" she said, ending Daniel's unconditional phone call.

Meili sighed so heavily and leaned her body against the back of the chair "Are you now able to explain to Mami what really happened ? " said Viona who had been listening to Meili and Daniel on the phone .

" i hate mam , why is my brother Daniel so careless , now everyone is talking about my best friend , even they shamelessly give bad comments to him , I don't like this mam " meili said weakly.

" Explain to mommy what really happened , what happened to your sister? , and also your close friend , and then Hannah" said Viona who was still so confused.

Viona was silent for a moment, she was still surprised when Meili again said it was "really? , why could it happen? , they look still fine , is that because... " he said hanging and staring at Meili to ask for so much explanation.

" Do you want to blame my friend" asked Meili.

" it's not like that" Viona explained.

" My best friend had nothing to do with Hannah's separation and Daniel's sister, the relationship was over before Daniel and Elin met "he explained, Viona just kept quiet by listening without intending to interrupt " and the stupidity of Daniel's brother is to bring Elin into public view while everyone still thinks she's Hannah's lover "

" They should have told everyone that they no longer had a relationship, and the one at the greatest disadvantage now was Elin, everyone swearing at her , saying she was the third person between Hannah and brother Daniel " continued Meili.

" But Daniel and Elin still do not have any relationship what , but he has got a diatribe that he does not deserve "

" What is the reason why Hannah and Daniel's relationship ended ? " ask Viona so curious.

" The woman was having an affair "clearly Meili subconsciously, and immediately shut her mouth when she realized her mistake .

" Don't tell Daniel's brother, if I've told my mother "

" What are you saying is true Meili ? " tanya Viona does not believe and meili nods "what I'm doing for, at first I also do not believe that Hannah will do that, she looks so in love with brother Daniel "

Viona was silent, suddenly her heart felt so painful to think about how her son felt when he knew that Hannah was betraying him "but mami need not worry, now brother Daniel is fine " meili continued trying to calm Viona, because she understood the meaning of her mother's sad eyes "all thanks to Elin, even she looks so happy just by saying my best friend's name " meili smiled.

" but now that everything looks so complicated, I really hate it when the people closest to me become the material of gossip in the media" he said again.

" You have to believe your sister can definitely solve this problem" said Viona and Meili just nodded and sighed softly.

" Well mam, I have to go to college" she said as she got out of the chair and kissed Viona's cheeks.

" Are you not having breakfast ? " asked Viona and Meili shook her head "my appetite is gone mam "he replied ,

" i go first, and don't worry too much about Daniel's brother, he's fine already , even very good "he explained to Viona before he actually left.

While walking to his car park, Meili finds Elin's contact and immediately contacts her.

" Hello elin, where ? " he asked directly while opening the car door.

" Well I'll pick you up at apartment , nobody bothers Elin , stop being so nice to me" she said, continuing to talk to Elin's phone.

" Bye , until you meet at your apartment "he said again and then closed his call to Elin , he immediately took his car and drove it so quickly.

What's inside her brain right now is protecting her best friend, Elin must continue to be in a safe place by being by her side ,

although this is Daniel's fault but as his sister Meili feel responsible and as a friend who must protect.

He sighed so heavily with anxiety at the same time "God please ', I really don't want this kind of problem to happen again" he said with eyes that were momentarily closed , it still feels so terrible to think about what happened three years ago to his family or rather to his own mother, and now he doesn't want any of that to happen to Elin ,

because it hurts so much when everyone blames for mistakes they didn't make .
