Butterfly In You
Chapter 49: Heavy Rain In The Morning

The sight of Lilis waving at a Kindergarten bus that was speeding on the road and was taking Nurbanu away to the Sunflower Children's Park, refracting in Jesslyn's eyeballs. While leaning against the left side frame of the main door of the house and cross-section, Jesslyn noticed Lilis from a distance.

The position of the woman's body turned upright when Lilis - the person she had been waiting for since earlier had walked back into the courtyard area of the house, after her task of delivering Nurbanu was complete.

"Eh, Miss Jesslyn! I think I've gone to work too. Apparently it's still here."

Lilis clutched as she passed Jesslyn near the doorway. Jesslyn smiled at him.

"No, Lilis. I haven't gone to work on purpose because there's something important I want to talk to you about."

"It matters? With me?" Lilis nodded to herself. "Right be with me, Miss? Not with Mas Shehan?"

"Shehan had been away from work since fifteen minutes ago and I was deliberately waiting for you here."

"What does Miss want to talk about?" Lilis' forehead frowned slightly.

Jesslyn looked around the house and saw Maman standing guard at the security post near the gate. Although actually their distance with the middle-aged man was quite far, but Jesslyn felt uncomfortable if she had to speak at that place.

"We better find somewhere safe to talk, Lilis."

Lilis immediately spread her eyes around the house. He realized their position was still on the terrace, it did not feel comfortable to talk in that place.

"Eum .. alright, Miss. Come on, let's just go to the living room," the plain girl asked then.

"No!" Jesslyn refused. "Don't be in the middle room because I want to talk to you with four eyes. It's about personal matters."

'Personal questions? What is Miss Jesslyn's personal matter with me?'

Lilis searched for the safest place in the house for a moment to discuss the personal matter that Jesslyn had mentioned. A brilliant idea flashed through his mind later.

"Oh, yeah! Let's talk on the balcony, lady! Rarely did anyone else come to that place. There's only Mbok Tum in the house anyway."

"All right! Come on, let's go there!"

"Eum ...."

Lilis nodded. He and Jesslyn together went to the balcony of the second floor of the house. Usually, the place is always quiet. In addition to the rare people who come there, if Shehan and Nurbanu have left in the morning, only Lilis and Mbok Tum who inhabit the house.

Upon their arrival, Lilis stood up while holding the balcony railing. He closed his eyes for a moment, about to enjoy the breeze that hit, stroking his hair. Jesslyn came over, standing next to Lilis with a forward look. Seeing the same view. But he did not hold the balcony railing.

"The wind is fresh, Miss!" lilis said after opening her eyes and looking at Jesslyn. However, the reply Jesslyn gave did not match Lilis' words.

"Lilis, I have something to talk to you about."

Lilis then remembered their purpose to go to this balcony not to enjoy the fresh wind.

"Oh, yes, Miss. Whatisit? I'm ready to listen."

"Not only do you have to be ready to listen, but you also have to understand what I'm going to say." Jesslyn's intonation turned the relaxed atmosphere between them into a serious one. "Lilis, I'll talk straight to the point. Do you know why I live in this house?"

Lilis dissolves in the serious atmosphere Jesslyn created. Worry and quiet he spoke. "I .. I don't know, Miss."

What appeared before Lilis then was Jesslyn's faintly expanding smile.

"All right! I'll let. The reason I live in this house is because Shehan told me to. I'm pregnant with her child, Lilis."

Glucud! Glucud! Glucud!

Instantly a rumble grabbed Lilis' ears. It froze, all over its body stiff. There was absolutely no more cheerful aura sculpted on his clear face.

'Is that what Miss Jesslyn said just now?' inner Lilis wondered.

"Yes, Lilies. Actually, Shehan and I have been in a relationship for a long time. We used to be lovers." Jesslyn deliberately made up the story for Lilis to believe.

"Well if Miss Jesslyn is Mas Shehan's girlfriend? Why did Mas Shehan marry me? Not Miss?"

"That's because Shehan was so upset with me. I went to America for six months. She thought I had completely abandoned her and would not return to her arms again. That's why he married you just for revenge. Honestly, I still love him. When I heard that Shehan was getting married, I immediately went back to Indonesia. But Shehan said it was too late."

The heart of Lilis bak slashed sembilu. Jesslyn's words made her eyes unconsciously dew. His sight was blurred.

"But ... Mas Shehan, never told me about this before."

"That's because you're just his contract wife and will be divorced next year. So Shehan thought there was no need to tell you about his personal problems. You're just a game he'll throw away when he's tired of playing."

Lilis could not say anything more. In fact, Jesslyn knew the secret of their marriage.

"Where does Miss know that?"

"Shehan himself told me. After we made up and realized our feelings, she told me everything. He said he married you just to get me back. Not because for sponsorship of his residence permit in Indonesia."

'Mas Shehan said no one should know about the secret of this contract marriage. But he himself told his lover. That's so bad of you, Mom!'

Lilis tears finally ran down her cheeks. No longer able to hold the clear liquid so as not to spill. Lilis felt they had been tricked, tricked and played with. It was really depressed at this moment.

"Rescious Lilis! You're just Shehan's vandalism kit. You know that too. What else do you hold on to? You can tell Shehan right now. He would be happy if you asked for a divorce first."

Lilis sobbed, as he pleased. His body trembled from head to toe. Seeing Lilis' weakness, Jesslyn further instigated it.

"You know what's going on? Shehan whined, begging to come back to me. He prostrated himself in front of me. At first I was worried about accepting it because Shehan's status is now your husband. Because I was not sure, Shehan suggested that I get pregnant and stay at his house. That's all he did for me to trust him and come back to him."

Lilis was still unmoved, occasionally wiping away her tears that kept flowing.

"Why are you crying, Lilis? Aren't you just a contract wife? Or maybe you already like Shehan?"

Lilis turned her head, looking at the sclera of her eyes and the reddened tip of her nose.

"Ti-dak, Miss Jesslyn. I knew so well not to put any feelings on Mas Shehan. Because I realize my status is only a contract wife."

"It's good that you are self-conscious. And one more thing, please empty the main room immediately because I want to sleep in that room from tonight."

Jesslyn patted Lilis on the shoulder several times before leaving Lilis on the balcony alone. After Jesslyn's departure, Lilis could not stand the disappointment that stabbed her heart.

Lilis fell to the floor, sobbing so bitterly. Tears fell on the floor. His body trembled he could not control. I don't know why Lilis was devastated.

'Tears, please stop flowing! Why would I cry if I knew I was going to be divorced from the beginning. Why am I this sad, if I don't have any feelings for her.'

Lilis wished that no more tears would be spilled, but her body's response did not go as she wished. Lilis' tears still fell like heavy rain in the morning.

'How come you are, Mas! How tea!'

Lilis' hand shook, about to reach for her nose that felt sore and painful. Not only was her chest tight, but the air that passed through Lilis' nostrils was burning hot.

When he managed to hold his nose, Lilis palm was even full of blood. Fresh, red in color. Lilis gasped to see the amount of blood coming out.

"I'm nosebleed again. Not only my tears, even my blood flowed. How you, Mas! How tea!"

Lilis looked back. Crying so much that the veins on his forehead pop up, imprinting on the surface of the skin. He was drowning in deep sadness.
