CHAPTER 3 A LITTLE GIRL

Joshua Jurai carefully carried the heavy box containing all the documents to the elevator door. The up button is carefully pressed. The morning is indeed the time when all the employees at Company D Sunny come to work on time. But who would have thought, Zhega Monisa who just arrived at the company lazily stepped towards the elevator door. From a distance, Zhega Monisa saw the figure of Joshua Jurai standing in front of the elevator door while lifting the box. His smile was etched with cynicism.
"Joshua..." he called as he approached Joshua Jurai there.
"Zhega.." he said in a soft tone. Both of his eyes withered looking at the face of Zhega who was standing next to him.
"What box are you carrying? It looks heavy." he reprimanded still with a cynical smile. The two of them stood side by side while waiting for the elevator doors to open. From the cornerback, Joshua Jurai is slightly taller than Zhega Monisa. For a moment, they began to be silent.
"Joshua, can we talk for a second?" Zhega Monisa said looking at Joshua Jurai beside him. And so does Joshua Jurai. They stared at each other for a long time, reading the thoughts behind that sharp gaze. Zhega Monisa must have something to convey to him.
***
A white envelope was pushed gently across the table towards him. Joshua Jurai just looked at the white envelope before turning his gaze towards Zhega Monisa who was sitting opposite him. They take the available time to talk in the employee break room before starting work.
"Joshua, I know you're busy being bullied here by the senior people of the company. Well, because you're just an adopted child in this rich family. It's impossible for someone like you to be treated well." his speech seemed to belittle the status of Joshua Jurai who was just an adopted child in the family.
"What do you want to talk about?" Joshua Jurai looked calm.
"Take that money and....work abroad. If you work there, you will get what you want. You are good at business, there you can start your business without coming here again. This is an offer good for you, Joshua. Don't waste time." he incited with a mysterious smile. While Joshua Jurai just stared at his eyes which were filled with thousands of crimes.
"Zhega, even though I'm an adopted child in this family...I never hate you."
"You have a good heart. I'm proud to have grown up with you all this time. But, I don't feel calm if you're still here. You should have left this family when my father died. Joshua, you don't deserve that property at all. Only I got it!"
"I'm sorry, Zhega. I won't accept your money. Keep this money back for yourself." Calmly, he quickly got up from the chair and started walking away but...
"Joshua, you will regret it because you rejected my offer. You are just trash in this family. Don't remember that I like you." Zhega Monisa immediately stood up from his chair and stared sharply at Joshua Jurai who was standing behind him.
But the warning was ignored before continuing to leave Zhega Monisa alone in the room. He too calm nature caused his anger to flare up.
In an unstable emotional state with the fire of anger, he immediately took out his phone to make a call. In just three seconds, his call was answered immediately.
"It's me. You know what to do? Start what I've planned."
***
Leading her little hand towards the bus stop, it attracted the attention of elderly women passing by in their residential area. Hery Maxwell with his big smile cheerfully carried his beloved sister wearing a small bag on his back. They are indeed brothers and sisters who love each other. His love has no limits and loves Henie more than anything.
"Brother..."
"Hmm, yes my princess. What's wrong?" He had a soft tone while holding hands with her.
"Later, when Henie returns to school, don't forget to bring Henie to eat there again."
"Do you like eating there?"
"Like it? I want to eat there again later with my brother," she said smiling cheerfully. They both arrived and walked to the bus stop they were going to.
"Okay, when Henie comes back from school. I promise to take Henie to eat there again." her height was only as high as his thighs and he had to sit down while looking at her small face. His hair was gently caressed with love.
While he was showering his love on the little girl, the van that was going to send her to kindergarten finally arrived at their bus stop. He started to wake up before helping her get into the van. She had another chance to wave at him through the window.
"Hery, you love that little sister of yours. Don't be too loving, many girls will want you later. I've been single for a long time..." the van driver scolded him.
"Just keep being single and send the child to kindergarten. Even if you fall in love, you won't be able to see them again."
"Why can't I meet them?"
"Yeah, if you're in love..everyone around you will ignore you, you know? This world only belongs to the two of us, they say." He sarcasm deliberately pouted. He knows very well the driver's behaviour when in love.
"It's no use. I'm going to send these children. I'm late anyway."
"Hehe.." He managed to give a mini love along with his beautifully narrowed smile. The driver just grinned mischievously.
"Uh."
Without wasting time, the van started to leave from there. He with his eyes wide open hoped something wonderful would happen after his younger sister grew up with the knowledge she brought. He always wishes the best for her who is still young and cheerful in his eyes.
The silence of the atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing from his pocket. The green button is pressed while stepping in the opposite direction. Calls are answered without hesitation.
"Yes? What?!"
