MSL - Elina

A week after my wedding, we decided not to plan a honeymoon because I had to face exams on campus, besides that my mind was not so clear either. This morning I called my orphanage mother and she told me a lot about the girl named Elina.

"Halo . . ." I heard her voice.

"Hello." I opened my voice as soon as the orphanage mother received my call.

"I'm calling to ask you something, mam." I said.

"Tell me honey, whatever you want to know I'll answer." Answer the orphanage mother.

"I want to know about the girl you said was my twin sister." I said hesitantly.

"Her parents died in a car accident and her step-siblings kicked her out of the house." Said the mother of the orphanage. "She lost her way because she was kicked out of the house and her comfortable life. Now she comes as a lonely girl who has nothing. She wanted to survive, and she found a photo of the two of you and the address of this place and found you." She explained. "But you don't seem too happy with her arrival, so she'll be my responsibility, sweetheart. Don't worry about Elina." the orphanage mother added.

"I'm sorry to burden you, mam." My regret.

"No dear, it doesn't matter to me. This house is open to anyone after all, I just feel bad for not being able to give her a decent life." Mother of the orphanage said and it made me even more indecisive.

"Yesterday evening two people came to the orphanage and forced her to sign something, Elina told me that her half-sister was eyeing their parents' estate and Elina was forced to sign an affidavit that she refused inheritance rights to their property." The mother of the orphanage said. Oh that girl really had bad luck, why should she come to me at a time like this.

"Ok. I'll think about it. Thanks for explaining to me ma'am." I ended my call. After talking to the orphanage mother, I had to find someone else to talk to so I could find a solution to my problem. The only person I can talk to about this problem is Zevanya.

"You're afraid he's coming into your house?" Ze asked and I nodded.

"She is much more enchanting and erudite than me, she also grew up in a good wealth family, of course our personalities are very different." I said.

"Just give her a lot of money and ask her to leave." Ze said simply.

"I can't get a lot of money out of my account without Christ's consent, and if I do and Christ knows I'm paying my sister to stay away from my life, I don't know what he'll think of me." I cupped my face with my hands, this made me bad, all the choices were complicated.

"Then take her into your house, And tell her that she has to act the way you want her to. Just stay and don't interfere with your private life." Ze suggested to me.

I took a deep breath, "I'm afraid that Christ would prefer her because her face is similar to mine, but maybe she's much more attractive than I am. You know we have different traits because we were raised in different ways, she was raised in educated circles while I was living. at the orphanage."

"You're crazy, Christ is your husband now. How can you think that Christ would betray you for another woman who is your twin sister."

"You know a lot of men end up ending their marriages because there are other women?" I looked at Ze, I really couldn't afford to imagine that the woman who might make my marriage a mess was my own twin sister.

"I can't give you an answer, it's complicated." Ze rubbed my arm. "Talk to your husband. He is the one who can solve your problems the most, he will be the wisest person right now." Ze said. For me talking to Christ is a last wayout and won't be an option for me. But I also can't burden mother of the orphanage by having to take care of my troublesome twin sister.

"I want to talk." I tell Christ as he hugs me on the bed.

"Tell me honey, what are you thinking?" Ask Christ.

"About my twin sister." my answer. "It seems that she is in trouble, and I can't let her burden the orphanage mother to look after her." I said.

I don't want Christ to consider me a vicious woman if I reject my twin sister's presence, but I also don't want Christ to think that I don't believe her if at this time I tell her honestly, I'm afraid she turned to my twin sister.

"Tomorrow I will pick her up." That's what I said without thinking. The more I think, the more my head hurts.

"Ok." Christ said.

Tonight we spent sleeping, just sleeping like the nights before. After our wedding, oh no, after I realized Elina's existence and it disturbed my mind, I practically didn't want to Christ. I couldn't afford to a chaotic state of mind, I knew Christ wanted me but he didn't force himself, and I thank my husband for being a good guy.

Around ten o'clock I picked up Elina and took her into Christ's house. I asked her to live in my old room before I married Christ.

"Whose house is this?" Elina asked.

"You don't have to ask much, you just have to stay here and don't say much." I said.

"I know a lot about that secret marriage of yours, the mother of the orphanage has already said it to me." She said. Oh, it hasn't been even ten minutes and she's already piggybacked on.

"Ok if you already know then shut up. My husband doesn't like talkative people." I said.

We walked into the living room and somehow we ran into Christ.

"Honey." Christ walked up to me and pecked me briefly.

"Oh, it's your twin sister." Say hello to Christ kindly, oh please, don't be too friendly to other women Christ. I muttered inwardly.

"Yes." Elina smiled sweetly, obviously she was fascinated by my husband.

"Don't you have to leave for the office soon baby." I hugged Christ and tidied up his tie, making sure to Elina that I was the hostess, and I wouldn't let him flirt with my husband.

"Yes, see you." Christ said before leaving, he took the time to kiss my forehead and I smiled at Elina.

"He loves me so much." I said firmly, though my smile I made as gentle as I could be.

"He looks much older than you." Elina said she didn't know herself. Oh the mouth is really spicy.

"Yes . . . even so I love him very much." I said proudly.

Elina looked mangled as she spread her gaze throughout the room and the furniture, everything looked luxurious and expensive for sure to her.

"I can see why you love the old man so much." Elina said, oh I really wanted to stuff her mouth with socks.

"Ok, don't waste time. Come into your room, you will stay there until your lover comes to pick you up." I said. One thing that was a little relief was that Elina had a lover, an Englishman who would come to pick her up in the next week. I just have to make sure he doesn't mess up during this week, and all will be in order. We will live our respective lives as we have been through all these years.
