Dear Me Jesselyn Anastasia
Because Aunt Lena

Unlike the usual days, today the Bagas family residence feels so quiet while there are three family members and Sri ma'am who is ironing at home.

Upon arrival at home, Jesselyn went straight to the room and locked the door. Lena who was in the guest room just passed by without saying hello.

Jessel dropped her body on the bed. Her tears flowed back without a hitch considering her childhood with her father.

Every time her father comes home from work, Jesi calls her father to little Jesselyn, who will always get a gift. Whether it's toys, food or just a lollipop. Every weekend he would go for a walk by his father and buy two vanilla flavored ice creams when he was coming home. One will eat in the street while the other stock for tomorrow which he will store in the refrigerator.

When he arrived home his mother would be angry whenever she found Jesselyn with ice cream in her hand.

Mira forbids her husband to give Jesi ice cream because it is not good for children, especially their daughter is prone to coughing. Surely the father will be ready to install the body for him. Pandu always promises if it is the last time he buys ice cream for Jesi but not Pandu his name if it does not break his own promise. He would buy Jesi ice cream again and promised it would be the last time.

It's always been that way to make his wife tired of banning him again.

Jesselyn cried with laughter remembering her happy little moments with her father.

His face turned gloomy as he recalled the last day he saw his father. Not only that, his memory goes back to the old days of always watching his friends whenever picked up by their father.

One day he cried all the way home because no one picked him up. At that time, I don't know what happened, Jesselyn found her mother lying under the sewing machine. She was crying more and more and could only scream for the neighbor next door.

Jesselyn still remembers that day because it was the first day she returned to school after her father's departure.

Lena knocked on the door of Jesselyn's room slowly. He was really worried about what really happened. Moreover, Leon who was next to the room that he knocked on the door had not come out at all.

"Auntie can come in, baby?" pinta Lena when the door was opened but the room was silent.

Jesselyn turned her back to Lena, wiping away her tears.

Now both of them sit on the bed with their eyes straight ahead.

Lena turned her body to face the girl beside her, grabbing both of her hands to speak.

"What's up, hem?" ask Lena so gently." You tell me what kind of problem auntie is there or Leon's brother is mad at you, right?" lena asked as she slipped Jesselyn's messy hair behind her ear, but Jesselyn threw her face away.

Lena was getting confused and riled up because the girl was completely unwilling to look at her.

"If you don't want to tell the same aunt now no problem, but you don't like this, baby. Aunty sad let alone see the situation of Leon's brother next door. From now on she hasn't come out and eaten, auntie's afraid she's doing weird shit."

Jesselyn still silently refused to answer the woman beside her.

Hem...

Lena stood up and stroked Jesselyn's hair gently.

"Don't forget to eat, son."

Lena walked out, giving Jesselyn time to rest. He was sure something was going on but he did not want to force him to talk.

"If it wasn't for the aunt, dad might still be around. Aye?" jesselyn said just as Lena held the door handle. "Dad died of aunt."

Duars....

As if struck by lightning Lena turned her face to Jesselyn, pulling her hand from the door handle.

"If it wasn't for the aunt asking for the donor, you might still be around."

Eventually Lena finds out what caused Jesselyn's attitude to change. With heavy steps Lena returned to approach Jesselyn.

Lena's crying broke. He didn't expect it to be like this.

"No. The wrong aunt, it's all a lie to say you died in an accident at work" Jesselyn said hysterically.

Bagas who had just returned from the cottage beside the house rushed to the top to hear a hysterical sound. His wife was crying in front of Jesselyn.

"What's up, ma?" tanya Bagas cupped his wife's face and wiped the tears that still faithfully flowed.

Lena shook her head looking into her husband's eyes fixed, she didn't know what to say. The view of Bagas now changed to a girl who did not give up her neutrality to her wife.

Bagas was confused to calm down which was deluan because both his wife and Jesselyn were both in a sobbing state.

"You two are crying like this. Will no one answer my question?" Bagas took turns seeing Jesselyn and his wife.

"Pa" call Lena so clean. "The wrong mom, it's all because of mama."

"Precise speaking ma, papa doesn't understand what he means...."

"Dad died of aunt, didn't he?" jesselyn said, cutting off Bagas and making the middle-aged man dumbstruck.

Bagas quickly grabbed onto Jesselyn's two hands, bringing her into both palms.

"It's not like that, son. You misunderstood. It is true that aunt and om asked for a donor change at that time but did not think at all about what happened next. We're also very sorry that's why we...."

"You're going to repay me for feeling indebted for my father's death, right?" again Jesselyn cut out the words Bagas. "Everything this family does is out of debt, right?"

"Tante really loves you and thinks of you like a aunt. Sorry, dear aunt, don't be like this. You can be angry with your aunt but please don't be mad at Leon too?" pinta Lena pressed her last sentence.

"Yes, kid. Believe in us, whatever we have done for you is sincere. We know what we have given is not worth the sacrifice of Mr. Pandu, your father.

Lena approached and tried to hug Jesselyn but again she threw her face away.

Leon who had been standing outside the room just silently followed the flow of their conversation but the fear of his heart grew bigger. Leon is afraid that Jesselyn will stay away from him.

"You rest first, we'll talk again after you calm down" said Bagas stroking Jesselyn's jet-black hair. He also nodded his head at the wife giving the code for them to leave Jesselyn.

"Sorry aunt dear," said Lena who finally came out led by Bagas.

Outside the second room the husband and wife saw their son sitting on the floor, leaning his body against the wall.

Lena could not bear to see Leon's appearance like that, he was sure because of this misunderstanding Leon would be affected as well.

Leon wiped his tears and stood up. He had not eaten or drank at all this day. After hearing everything, he only wanted to reassure his girl if what he was doing and feeling was sincere.

Slowly Leon stepped into his girl's room. Jesselyn stood leaning against the wall staring out of the window with her eyes puffy.

"You what?" jesselyn asked flatly aware of Leon's presence. He had no energy anymore because he was crying too much.

"Don't be like this to me" Leon pleaded.

"Deliver!"
