Note: The previous chapter has revisions. I added a little Jay-Jo chat before meeting their father.
"Excuse me, Non. Den Marvel's waiting downstairs." From behind the door of Zevanna's slightly open room, Mbok Diah tells his employer.
Turning her head, Zevanna immediately grabbed the crutches that had been faithfully accompanying her for the past two weeks. Actually, he felt his legs had returned to normal. However, Zevanna did not want to be rash. He still wears the walker, although it makes him tired and overwhelmed at the beginning of use.
"Non, really don't want to be helped?" Mbok Diah displays a worried look as Zevanna refuses subtly to be helped. He grimaced to see his master begin to descend the stairs, while he could only keep watch behind him.
"I'm cured, Mommy. See if I come home later I'm not wearing this anymore." Zevanna.
Mbok Diah resigned. Can't do anything but keep watching Zevanna while incessantly telling caution.
Unlike Mbok Diah, Marvel who had been sitting in a gang immediately stood to see his girlfriend down the stairs, without anyone holding. With an anxious look, the man approached and grabbed Zevanna by the shoulder. Which made the girl once again laugh because of the people around her.
"Kok even laugh, anyway?" Marvel amazes. His step stopped which was automatically followed by Zevanna and Mbok Diah who suddenly clumsy to see two people in front of him.
"You could be like Mbok Diah. I don't know!" Zevanna raised her chin, her lips pursed.
Marvel poked it slowly. "You don't think, according to the doctor" Marvel concluded before they continued their steps and arrived on the first floor.
The man in a black polo shirt circulated a glance. Zevanna's house looked more deserted than the last time she visited the place. "Butik has been renovated?" tanyanya looked back at her lover.
"Yes, yesterday the same morning there was a messenger Mama came to haul."
"I should help you. Sorry yeah ...."
"Duh, what the hell, brother! Marvel was busy yesterday too. Even just this morning back from Bangkok, do not want?"
Marvel gengesan. "Inget, but if helpin' will get more points in the eyes of the prospective in-law."
"What the hell, I'm suddenly telling you all-too-be-in-law." Zevanna looked away, hiding her misguided response as well as her cheeks that might be blushing.
On the issue, Marvel slightly lowered his head and turned his head in order to capture the shyly adorable look of his girlfriend. "Ciee .. His cheeks are a fire! Should I call you damkar?"
"Sister!"
"Yes, Honey?"
"Gee!" Zevanna elbowed Marvel's sturdy arm.
The target pretended to be in pain while laughing sucks.
"Sister Marvel!" Zevanna. "If you don't want to stop laughing, I'll take a taxi!" threaten her.
"Eh, don't dong!" Marvel held off Zevanna who was about to head to the main door. He who volunteered to accompany the check-up, if it failed, what did this girl's mother say later?
"Nicebelin!" said Zevanna still frowning.
"Nyebelin or make salting?" Marvel lowered his eyebrows. Don't forget the smile also.
Laughter is back on the air. "Yes, sorry," said Marvel with the rest of the ruckus on his beautiful face. Again, he helped Zevanna to finally be able to sit in his car unharmed.

The house, which had been left for months dead, now seemed to get a beam of light that made it color, and Hendri was the reason behind it all. Since morning blind, the man helped his two children were struggling in the kitchen. They re-recook some dishes that used to fill the Halcyon menu list. Fried rice, capcay, kwetiau, dumplings, and two previously absent menus; dimsum and choipan.
Hendri looked satisfied when all the food was cooked and neatly arranged at the dining table. "Come, let's eat together. Hopefully it doesn't change, yes," he asked as he pulled up the chair.
"The mood hasn't changed. I'm sure the taste is also not good or now even much better" Joanne replied enthusiastically. He reversed the position of the father's plate and spooned the fried rice onto it, only to then take it for himself.
"Where? Yummy?" asked Hendri after his daughter made the first bribe.
Joanne was chewing the mangosteen. "Great son. A hundred is not enough for Papa's cooking." He hugged the father, then a swab landed on his back.
Hendri raised his head, feeling the warmth that creeps into the heart. How could he think of wasting this immeasurable happiness a second time? Hendri cleared his throat slowly, relieving the hoarse esophagus from holding back the crying. "Thank you for giving Papa a chance, son."
Unraveling her embrace, Joanne nodded with tears instantly flowing. In the next instant, the female's slow stuffing broke. "The next promise will continue, Pa."
"Yes, honey." Hendri rubbed tears on the cheeks of his youngest son. "Papa will try to pay for Papa's mistake. Papa will work hard for you, make Koko ...."
And, that was when the father and daughter realized that there was still one more person in their midst who currently looked dreamy.
Jayden thinks of Zevanna. The shadow as the former lover finally fell into the arms of another man kept swirling around in the head. Jayden could ask those closest to him not to mention the name again in front of him. However, what if his mind that with tempestuous actually echoed the name Zevanna.
Jayden has also tried to keep himself busy. Exchange recipes and try them with the papa, exercise, become a freelance photographer, play games, and much more. However, all of that did not make him tired so that at night he felt difficult. His eyes are hard to shut. Zevanna's anger at what she failed to straighten out made her sicker. Jayden wanted Zevanna to know, but on the other hand, what's the point? Zevanna has found her happiness. While Jayden was only able to smile bitterly lamenting his fate.
"Jay!"
"No!"
Hendri and Joanne cried out together. Jayden. Gutting, the man stared unfocusedly at his father and sister.
"Think what, Jay?" ask Hendri.
"Especially if not that," said Joanne once got a sharp glance. But Joanne was not her name if she was afraid because now there was Papa beside her. "What's? Lo just said you can't name it and I did it," he continued challenging.
Jayden snorted bitterly with an indifferent face.
"Women's problem, Jay? You seem to love her very much. Is it possible that Papa can help because it's the cause of everything?"
"No, Pa."
"Serious father."
Jayden shook his head convincingly. Fortunately, his father was no longer pushy. After all, it would be even more embarrassing if it involves parents on problems that should be able to solve by themselves. Ought to. But, in reality all remained as grey as before.
