vJesselyn accompanied Reza's steps out of Rossalina's room, they moved to the veranda, sat on a wooden chair with an orange lamp shade plus the moonlight. Jesselyn serves a cup of coffee and a piece of bread for her neighbor who is also the guest."Mas Reza, thank you. I've never seen Mama's gaze filled like that before," Jesselyn said sincerely.Reza smiled back. "May I know what causes your mother to be like that, May?" replied Reza.Jesselyn seemed speechless for a moment. It was difficult for him to scavenge those bitter memories again. But when he looked into Reza's eyes, he felt compelled to tell it again. "My father is a member of the council. Mas Reza must have heard the name Arya Ginanjar who was caught in a corruption case about nine years ago," said Jesselyn starting her story.Reza's eyebrows seemed to raise as a sign that he did not expect that Jesselyn was the daughter of this famous figure."Mom and dad had a bad relationship a few months before dad went to jail. And as
"Sorry, okay, because I have to go to work tomorrow morning, you have to come back at this time of night," Reza said to Jesselyn when they were both on their way home.Jesselyn smiled. "It's okay, Mr. Besides, I can't leave Mama for too long," Reza replied."I salute you, you look very devoted to your mother. Not many children want to take care of their own parents, especially if they have been sick for years like that,” said Reza again.Jesselyn was stunned to hear that. His heart suddenly became bitter. "I'm just trying to atone for sins, Mas. I'm not a dutiful child at all, I even left my mother for years," Jesselyn whispered.Reza rubbed the back of Jesselyn's hand. "You didn't leave because you didn't love your mother, but because of something that would be hard for you to decide, right?"Jesselyn fell silent. He never really explained to anyone, that his decision to go to New York at that time was actually because of Daniel, because Daniel had left him. Now Jesselyn realizes how
The sky was already dark, but Jesselyn was still standing on the porch of her house, looking at the house next to her residence, waiting for Reza's return."Hey, New Neighbor Sister!" Gritte who just got home waved to Jesselyn.Jesselyn responded with a wave and a small smile."Waiting for Mas Reza, huh?" muttered the twenty-year-old girl.Jesselyn's cheeks immediately turned bright red. "Eng..no, really," he replied.Gritte just giggled to himself. "Mas Reza, if he comes home for a long time, it means there is a night meeting, sis. At least we'll be back at eight or ten," said Gritte.“Oh, I see,” Jesselyn whispered.Gritte laughed again seeing the disappointment bias from his new neighbor's eyes. "I'll go first, sis!" Gritte disappeared behind the door of his house.Jesselyn exhaled. Maybe that night wasn't the right time to talk to Reza. Even if Reza comes home in two or three hours, the man will come home tired. Jesselyn was becoming increasingly unpleasant to interrupt.However,
"It's true that Madame is pregnant, sir?" asked Bi Asih who was trying to reconfirm the news she had just received from her employer."Yes, Mrs. Anyway, Bi Asih has to help take care of Alexia's health, okay? Make sure to eat Alexia regularly and healthy," said Daniel, then he turned his head to face Alexia. "One more important thing honey, you have to take time off so you can rest completely and focus on your womb. We have been waiting for Aeron's little brother from many years ago, "he said.Alexia replied with a smile to comfort her husband. "Yes, dear. I will definitely take care of this baby for you, and also for Aeron," he said."Ah, too bad Aeron has already left for school. If he knows that he will have a younger sibling, he will be very happy," Daniel whispered. "But it's okay, we prepared a surprise for everyone. Auntie, cook a lot for tonight, okay? I will announce Alexia's pregnancy by inviting my office employees," said Daniel to Bi Asih."Ready, sir," said Bi Asih, who w
Around seven in the evening, Reza and Jesselyn were back home. Their faces were beaming. Not only Reza, Jesselyn also gave off a pink blush on her face. It's like being a teenager in love again."Ciee ... the bride and groom keep walking!" Gritte shouted from his yard, facing Jesselyn's residence which was only five steps away.Jesselyn only responded with a chuckle. Meanwhile, Reza just glared at his younger brother. "Where are you going, Derek?" asked Reza when he noticed Gritte's neat appearance."Wanna get out for a while, Mr. There is a dinner party with college friends,” answered the twenty-year-old girl."Don't be greedy! He said you want UAS soon." Reza advised."Still two more weeks, sir. Still a long time. Refreshing first, said Gritte. "Bye Mas Reza, Bye Sis Jesselyn!" He waved goodbye to the pair of lovebirds before finally disappearing behind his car door."I'm surprised, I can't stay calm at home. Keep going out every day.” Reza shook himself."His name is also a young m
At eleven thirty nine minutes past eleven, Reza entered the bridal chamber. He had just finished greeting the guests. It was actually still crowded downstairs, the extended family of Mr. and Mrs. William were still gathering. But Reza was welcome to rest. Apart from pitying Reza who looked tired from serving guests all day, Mr. William certainly didn't want to disturb his son's first night. While Jesselyn had entered the bridal chamber from an hour ago. Of course, it is also hot to wear a wedding dress all day."Junk!"Reza opened the bedroom door with a thump. How could it not be, that night would be his first night with Jesselyn, as well as his first night sleeping with a woman. Reza couldn't stop smiling to himself imagining what would happen next. But his smile immediately stopped when he found the room empty. Jesselyn's wedding dress can be seen hanging next to the wardrobe. Reza frowned, confused at the thought of his wife's whereabouts."Jesselyn! Love…!" call him.'Kyyyuurr...
"Mama is very happy, now the house feels crowded because of Jesselyn's presence," said Mrs. William on the sidelines of breakfast."Soon it will be even more crowded when they have children, Ma. And we will be called Oma and Opa,” said Mr. William, who was greeted by a chuckle from his wife.Reza and Jesselyn exchanged glances. "Hmmm, the plan is for Reza and Jesselyn to move house, Ma. We want to try to live together,” Reza said carefully because he knew exactly how the parents would respond.“Oh! Why? Are you not comfortable living here? Mom and dad are too fussy, huh?” Mrs. William said."It's not like that, Mom. Jesselyn is happy to live here. Mama, Papa, Gritte are so kind. But…,” Jesselyn glanced at her husband again, inviting Reza to continue the sentence."Mas Reza and Sis Jesselyn really want to be alone, Ma. Love romantics. If it's here, it's hard to be disturbed by Mama," grumbled Gritte."You are the one who often disturbs your Mas, Grite!" sprayed Mr. William who seemed t
Amanda had just left the house accompanied by Pak Mamat. The woman was seen carrying a small suitcase. Alexia, who realized this too late, immediately asked Daniel who had just left Amanda's room."Daniel, where is Amanda?" asks Alexia in a panicked tone."Amanda wants to go to her friend's place. He already had permission with me last night," answered Daniel, who looked relaxed."To where budenya? Why so suddenly?" asks Alexia again."He said he misses his bude." Daniel answered as it is.Alexia's gaze seems to be searching. “Baby… you didn't fight with Amanda last night did you? You didn't say something that made her heart ache, did you?" says Alexia very carefully.Daniel smiled and ruffled Alexia's hair. "No, honey. We're fine. Amanda really wants to go to her friend's place. He said it's only three days," explained Daniel, who tried to correct Alexia's suspicions."Then what did he go with?" asks Alexia who looks still not satisfied."Pak Mamat will take him to the station, then
