DUO J: GENIUS
Warm

“I and Duo J said goodbye, Nigel.”

One sentence passed from Gail's lips. The woman said it while looking at Nigel's eyes with hospitality and warmth. The first time the two of them could look at each other like that.

The very happy Nigel was so misbehaved that he could only respond to Gail by giving her a sweet smile. His heart seemed to want to explode with pleasure.

The line also managed to douse the heat of jealousy that Nigel held. The fire inside her had been burning since seeing Gail and Addison laughing and stepping with Jarrett in the hallway of the villa.

The road to where Nigel and Jemma are. It's time for Duo J to return to The Brown's house. This afternoon it was Gail's turn to pick up the kids at Addison's office villa.

After the shadow of the wife and the two five-year-old children disappeared from sight, Nigel sighed sadly. He was alone again and now separated a distance further than before.

Nigel can't stare at Gail's bedroom window at night. It was also in a very long duration for him. Estimates of a month of settling in a grand villa that feels like a tough test.

“Mr Irey, for dinner are you planning to go to the dining room or transfer to your room?” said Addison who was still standing next to Nigel.

“Call my name only, Addison. Do not keep talking formally. We are like family now,” said Nigel who has returned to his character who had been covered for six years.

There was a combination of pleasant, authoritative tones, and made the interlocutor comfortable with Nigel. Despite his status as a high-ranking wealthy master, the man was not intimidating.

“Sorry, I still feel sluggish-” Addison's sentence was truncated.

“Nigel. You should get used to saying that word, Adi,” by Nigel. He smiled warmly then.

“Alright, Nigel. Thank you,” replied Addison although it was a bit difficult. The contents of his head were already brazing clearly how high Nigel was and made him awkward to be casual with the man.

“For your question, I had dinner in the room today. Let me call the waiter to deliver the dish. You don't mind?”

“No. Of course not, Nigel. I wanted to offer to be with you if you had dinner in the dining room. Like the habits of many people who live at home.”

“I understand,” said Nigel then pause to say, “We have dinner in the dining room only, on this first day I as your housemate. Housemate.”

Addison was at a loss for words. He wondered to himself, was it true that the person who was talking like that to him was Nigel Irey.

During this time Nigel was a figure that was difficult to approach. That's what Addison discovered since having business dealings with Iking Group that made him interact directly with the CEO.

In the Iking Group business empire's power pyramid, Nigel's name is at its peak as CEO. But operationally since six years ago, Miles who always perform and protect the brother.

It's also what makes Nigel and Miles more like stamps, everywhere I have to both. They and Addison had the opportunity to interact.

“I can't resist, Nigel. What time is your dinner? I'll adjust.”

“Jam seven nights. Does it suit you?”

“Suit. Let me take care of dinner this time. All as a welcome banquet to you, Nigel.”

“OK. But don't bother too much, Adi. We only have two people,” said Nigel joking. That made Addison dumbfounded for a moment because he found a warm familiar treatment.

“The room for Papa is on the first floor, Ma. Om Adi said, it was the most spacious among all the rooms in the villa,” said Jarrett.

“I think it is as big as The Twins house if the walls in the house do not exist,” added Jemma. Then complain, “That month was long, yes.”

“Sang Putri can still meet with Papa every day,” said Gail responded to Jemma's complaint. The warm embrace of the little woman was reciprocated by a kiss of the forehead by the mother.

Jarrett did not make a sound again as he chose to observe Jemma and Gail's interaction. There was something different when my mother said the word papa.

Shortly after greeting each other to sleep, Duo J slumped in their respective sleeping positions. There was Gail whose mind was still on and Nigel inside.

Gail's eyes looked towards the wall clock. He was wondering if tonight should take any more medicine. He is upset with himself who is now often affected by Nigel.

Since dinner with the two families, Gail cannot sleep in a natural way. Especially after he continued his curiosity towards the contents of the brown colored box that Nigel gave.

In addition to an apology letter, Gail reads a letter Nigel wrote recounting memories of before their accident. Before the tragic honeymoon.

Nigel's writing is like touching Gail's heart to feel what her husband feels about their moments. The moments are sorted in flashback by Nigel.

While laughing together in the car to the seaplane terminal to explore the beauty of the Memo Islands archipelago. As the romance unfolds, they spend the first night in the most luxurious resort of Iking Mainland.

When the sweet journey made by both of them from the wedding party to the place for honeymoon. When sacred both of them make a promise to officially become husband and wife.

When their two hearts are approved to be united by the family, both through face-to-face and video calls. When a lot of deep and heavy talk that happened between the two of them related to Nigel's proposal.

While these meetings are deliberate and which do not become reinforcers for Nigel bring their relationship in the bonds of marriage. And many more moments are precious.

Nigel also filled the box with items that looked trivial but were very worth the memories. One of them is a former seaplane booking ticket that says the names of Genaya Edith and Nigel Irey.

The date after date that Gail found on the items in the box was counted six years ago. It's been a while but it looks well awake. Nigel and his sentimental value.

The most often entered Gail's mind was Nigel's sentence expressing her longing for Gee. Both as Genaya Edith and Gail Brown.

Although it's difficult for Nigel to get back with Gee, he won't give up. He no longer wanted to resign because just six years of his time was wasted.

Gail's heart always warms up when she reads Nigel's letter. It feels undefined.

When there are people who are so expecting it when they already know how bad the condition is. Know that Gail is now living a miracle, not as normal as Genaya once was.

Gail felt that her own many limitations were inappropriate for Nigel Irey, a man who had a life not as simple as her own. The man is rich master Irey and the leader of the Iking Group.

But there is a part in Gail that does not have the heart to hurt Nigel, adding to the weight of grief that the husband had during their separation. Plus Duo J's warm acceptance of their real father's figure.

'Come, ' murmured Gail, then went to take sleeping pills.
