DUO J: GENIUS
Ill-favored

Gail interrupted her intention to get out of the toilet room. His ears heard the name The Brown mentioned in the chatter of some people outside.

Yang Gail knew her adoptive parents were indeed widely known by the residents of Delan and outside the island. It's not surprising that they mentioned Landon and Ellie.

But the problem is that the tone of the people's speech sounds unpleasant. There is scorn and the like is bad. Gail wasn't sure of her assessment but she sensitized it wasn't something good.

Gail's sense of hearing is getting more upright listening to the chatter. All of those sounds seemed to be coming from middle-aged women.

So Gail estimates for those who are outside the toilet room. It seems that while having business in the sink, their mouths are used to taking care of other people's lives.

The gist of what Gail stole was the presence of The Brown's son-in-law. The husband of his adopted son turned out to be disabled, paralyzed in a wheelchair and badly after six years instead appeared.

They added Duo J related sentences. How unfortunate it is to have such a bad father figure while both children are amazing. Duo J was a star to them.

Then the dialogue changed direction to Gail and their various speculations about the relationship between husband and wife. Even the pain of forgetting Gail's memory is linked to their bad past.

Bad until not accepted to live in the house so that it affects the neighbors. Even the new guy sneaky expels the guy whose house is facing off with The Brown in order to be overpowered.

As Gail's ears continued to hear, the emotions in her heart were boiling. There was anger in him because the people talking about Nigel were so bad.

Fortunately, Gail's mind was stronger in suggesting that she didn't explode. Self-control must prevail over spontaneous actions that can be detrimental to many things.

After a while the sound of many footsteps sounded away, it seemed like those bad-mouthed people were coming out. Gail moves out and meets Ellie again.

“Gail,” call Ellie who is standing near the onion kiosk, a few steps from the market public toilet exit.

“Mother, are you done shopping?” gail said after she was near Ellie. He ignored the question for her.

Gail tried to act ordinary, as if nothing had happened. He did not want to share the story of the bad thing that sounded earlier.

“Already. Is there anything Gail wants to buy before we go back to the Kitchen?”

“No, Bund.”

“Basic, Mommy could have guessed your answer,” kekeh Ellie and the sound of laughter of the mother treat Gail's bad mood.

“The market is not a suitable place for this Mother Child,” always Gail and laugh because it infects Ellie.

“While he knows so, his good heart is still willing to accompany Mother around the market today.”

Gail's laughter subsided and turned into a line of smiles. Coinciding with the two began to walk out the traditional market of the island of Delan.

A place where all the people always meet. Not only meet physically for the business of exchanging goods and services, just buying and selling.

There were also meetings and exchanges of news, news, gossip, such as those found accidentally in public toilets. Gail who is comfortable to simplify her life is not used to such interactions.

That's bad in his view. Potential drama of an emotionally draining life. The proof of Gail's sensitive feelings was piqued by the many sentences she only heard for a few minutes.

If only they knew who they were saying was bad. But Gail understood, the existence of Nigel could indeed be a topic of interesting their chat whose affairs are not so busy with their own lives.

Nigel, who lived on the island of Delan for two days, disappeared for some time, but appeared again yesterday and also this morning. The man was like Duo J, equally full of surprises.

One thing is for sure, Gail did not find anything bad that Nigel did to her. He was treated well, their two children were treated as well, and The Brown was the same. Her personality is so good.

Recalling some funny events related to Nigel, Gail's smile clearly appeared on her face. It caught Ellie's attention walking side by side with the adopted child.

“Bund,” call Gail with hesitation.

“Iya. What's up, Mother's Child?” said Ellie attention.

“Sore it was I who picked up Duo J to the villa, how about Bund?”

“Should be Mother's turn, huh?”

“Iya, Bund.”

“Can only if you can. But is Mother's Child okay? Today you have a lot of.”

“I can, Bund. Just chill. This Mother's child is still within her limits,” Gail said with a chuckle.

“Alright, Mother believe. There are still a few hours left if Mother's Son changes, do not be forced ya ability body.”

***

Both legs Nigel was able to linger holding all the weight of his body. Then standing up to cook was not a difficult thing for him.

Nigel wanted to fulfill his intention to cook his wife's favorite food. Intentions delayed for many years due to separate destiny. Get into his nightmares.

This time, everything was already possible for Nigel. Although it has not been in action in the kitchen for a long time but he is quite confident that the results of the cooking will not be bad.

Nigel misses Gee's expression when receiving food from her hand. Like in the past when once he was praised can cook delicious by the beloved woman. The right taste.

Yesterday Nigel brought tools and cooking ingredients from Hicity. Everything is high quality. Where does the husband give the bad to the wife.

Two lunch boxes filled with Nigel Irey-style cuisine for Gee aka Genaya aka Gail. One sweet food and the other dominant savory acid. Fits likes.

Finished with the affairs in the kitchen, Nigel returned to his wheelchair. Time for Duo J to be picked up and he wanted to leave the bag containing the food box.

Jemma who was in the music room as usual was Nigel's goal. While Jarrett is too active to move so it is uncertain which room he is in at that time.

While watching Jemma learn to play the song with the drums, Nigel is unaware that he is also being noticed. Gail's eyes from a distance were fixed on the figure of the husband.

After a long time, then Gail continued the steps to realize his presence. He enters the music room and sees Nigel closer.

“Gee, you came?” nigel confirmed what he saw.

Nigel's happy face clearly greeted Gail who replied with a smile. A chance to meet that should not be wasted.

“I was cooking your favorite food, Gee,”, said Nigel stung aloud he stuck out the bag earlier. Then said, “Please try how it feels, hopefully it still fits your taste.”

Gail looked deeply at Nigel. It was not the expression that the husband had expected just now. One of the top boxes moved into the hands of the wife, and the spoon was ready to bribe.

The sadness that spread in Nigel's heart for a while so immediately lost because of Gail's next speech.

“Thank you, Nig. It's not bad.”
