DUO J: GENIUS
Arah
Jarrett looked at the clock on the wall of the room already showing midnight. Gail and Jemma were sleeping on the same bed.
Carefully Jarrett got out of bed and sat in a corner at the farthest distance from where his two favorite people were.
The goal was to call Nigel so Jarrett worked out the voice he was going to make subtle. Do not disturb those who are sleeping.
"Hello, Ja," replied Nigel on the other end of the phone. A soothing tone of voice for Jarrett
"Yes Papa," replied Jarrett briefly.
"How is this Handsome Genius? Papa didn't find the usual Jarrett during dinner last night. Tell Papa anything, Son. Papa is there for you, always."
The way Nigel said those long sentences convinced Jarrett to open his heart. Then flowed the words that the little man had saved from earlier.
About Gail who confiscated the device, the guilt Jarrett when he saw the mother crying because she along with his regret that also culminated because what he planned threatened to succeed longer because of retreat, and other related things.
The genius Jarrett is still a kid when it comes to Gail's emotions. The mature side in him experiences inner conflict, between his logic and ego as well.
It took two more hours of the phone call between Jarrett and Nigel before it was terminated. The conversation was coupled with the papa's briefing on his son.
“Ja, still not sleepy? Don't let Mama wake up first tomorrow.”
“Numbered, Pa. But, I will force you to sleep,” Jarrett said pausing his sentence. There was a sharpening in his heart now because he confided in Nigel, then continued to say, “Thank you very much, Papa.”
Nigel and Jarrett replied a few sentences and then the connection broke. The direction that the little man received from his papa was repeatedly twisted in the head.
“Mama, I'm sorry. Just get angry, maybe. But don't cry. I'm rattled. I'm angry too. I love Mama. Jarrett dear Mama, really.”
After whispering the sentence, Jarrett kissed Gail's cheek next to his favorite because Jemma chose the other side first. Then she hugged Gail's arm and put herself to sleep.
Unlike Jemma, her two eyelids moved open. The little girl gasped from her sleep earlier and heard clearly what Jarrett whispered to Gail.
Jemma pretended to be asleep. He knew Jarrett wasn't like him who easily expressed what he felt in his heart so he wouldn't ruin the moment.
Waiting for some time until the atmosphere was silent, Jemma wondered if Jarrett had been sound from his eyesight which blocked Gail's body.
Slowly Jemma got off the bed and headed towards the side where Jarrett was. His body was fit enough to move to sleep next to his brother.
Jemma wanted to hug Jarrett for the rest of the night. He doesn't know what can be helped for a problem that he doesn't know. Everything's fine in his opinion other than Jarrett.

“Mam, good morning,” greet Jemma when Gail wakes up and sits leaning on the headboard.
“Good morning, The Princess,” welcome Gail happy.
Not every day Jemma was in front of Gail's eyes when she woke up. Again because the waking hours are both different effects of the miraculous condition of Gail's body.
“Today I will continue with Mama,” said Jemma while struggling spoiled around Gail's neck.
“That's fun. The Princess wants to accompany Mama in a place that is said to be boring,” kekeh Gail replied to Jemma.
“Iya, Mam. Let's just let the boys have fun to Hicity.”
“Men? Who does Jemma mean?”
“Papa and Jarrett, Mom. What can I do because I'm a girl,” Jemma joked.
Although sad in Jemma's heart, he will not be directed into trouble. Because he wanted more when Jarrett came back with Nigel later, his brother returned with pleasure.
"As you recall last night nobody said anything about going to Hicity other than Uncle Miles and Aunt Avery" Gail said.
"Papa bring your own car, Jemma?" gail asked in surprise.
Gail did not forget Nigel told her that both legs were improving. But for the business of carrying a car, it was worrying for Gail.
Doesn't driving a car need the dexterity of the foot using the pedal with all its functions. Gail's mind was not calm.
"Yes, Mama. By ourselves. Uncle and aunt left Delan last night."
"Jeez," said Gail. His anxious feelings were increasingly appearing.
"Mam, there's a phone from papa," exclaimed Jemma because of the notice on her phone screen that lay clearly on the bed.
Jemma immediately removed her arm from Gail and lightning-quickly picked up the phone. A video call.
"Pap, hello," said Jemma cheerfully.
"Hello, the Princess," Nigel replied enthusiastically as well.
The front camera of the Jemma phone also leads in accordance with the movement of Jemma. The little girl leaned back to Gail so that the mother would be included in the video capture.
Nigel is admired by Jemma. The father kept his words to call when the new mother woke up and was right. The more perfect the figure of Jemma's father.
“Good morning, Gee,” greet Nigel ahead of Gail. Not to miss his typical way of talking to his wife.
“Good morning,” reply Gail briefly and her eyes focus more on Nigel's background in the video.
Gail's curious about being where Nigel is when calling right now and also wants to see Jarrett.
“Jarrett was on the toilet, Gee,” said Nigel from guessing Gail's eye movements that didn't notice her staring at him.
“Good. Is Jarrett okay, Nigel? When to return to Delan?” gail said as she focused her eyes right on Nigel.
A tone of voice that Nigel and Jemma could hear her fondness. Although Gail's newly sleeping face seemed to display a smile.
“Jarrett well, Gee. Take it easy, yes,” said Nigel reassuringly. Further said,” I don't know for sure when. But we will arrive at The Brown's house before your bedtime, no later than.”
“Ya. Take care.”
“Definitely, Gee,” says Nigel. Then turn to Jemma to say, ” The Princess, is there something you want Papa to bring from Hicity?”
“Nothing, Pap. I told you I didn't want anything. Jemma just wants Papa and Jarrett not to stay there,” said Jemma with a frown.
“OK. The Princess' request was granted,” Nigel chuckled and tried to tease Gail by saying, “Gee, are you the same as Jemma? Also want to not stay away from me for long?”
Gail glared at Nigel. It could be the direction of the conversation so this way, in front of Jemma too.
"Mam, what's the answer?" asked Jemma who had directed her body facing and close to Gail's face.
Not to forget the twinkle of Jemma's eyes who hoped to hear the word yes or the like. Gail also saw the same twinkle in Nigel's eyes.
