DUO J: GENIUS
Expressionless

*A flashback on the parting time between Jarrett and Nigel..

“Om Nig,” call Jarrett. His voice was half whispering. There was a sense that did not know what, lodged in the little man.

Though Jarrett should be happy now because the doctor stated that Nigel's stable condition had improved. Addison and he can return to the island of Delan, according to Miles' agreement.

As Jarrett heard, in his stable condition Nigel behaved like a difficult person to approach and if relapsed like a madman, could not control himself.

Jarrett looked into Nigel's eyes. The man's gaze seemed to be focused on her. A cold aura emanated from looking at each other. Jarrett's favorite warm side is covered.

“Om Nig, five minutes from my pickup car coming to deliver to port. We don't see each other anymore. May I hug you for a goodbye, Om?” jarrett said nervously.

Miles who heard Jarrett's request became speechless. Didn't expect the little one to be able to utter a request to Nigel who was in cold mode. Which should make him feel scared.

A few seconds passed before Nigel's response caused Addison to fret. He as guardian of Jarrett is confused what to do with that thrilling atmosphere.

Both Nigel's arms moved stretched. Miles understands that's how his twin brother said he could be with Jarrett.

Not yet had Miles translated Nigel's response, Jarrett had been scattering hugging the man sitting in the wheelchair. But Miles catches a faint line of Nigel's smile.

After being satisfied enough, Jarrett parses his embrace with Nigel. Then grabbing his Om Nig's right palm, he didn't care what this behavior could get him scolded.

Jarrett kissed the back of Nigel's hand. She imitated what her mother did to her grandfather when they said goodbye.

As Jarrett lifted his face from the back of the hand, the focus of his gaze was on the ring that was coiled on Nigel's ring finger. It looks familiar but doesn't remember.

The look on Nigel's face turned startled and it was clearly visible on the previously flat face. Unlike before, a vague expression was on her.

Nigel's memory was carried to his memory with his beloved wife. His wife was the only one to kiss the back of his hand since they got married and he loved the moment.

His wife also likes to call by shortening his name to Nig. As the boy called it Om Nig, there was a part of his heart that was touched.

The wife was also the only woman Nigel allowed to touch even today. Even though people always say his wife is considered dead.

To him, Nigel Irey was only for Genaya Edith. Genaya Edith Irey. One day he felt his status as his wife, and left before enjoying the many gifts that would be given to him during his life.

“I want to go there. I want to see Gee. My gee is there. I'm right my Gee is alive. I want Gee-”

Nigel's words were cut off as the outpouring of his feelings became replaced with crying. Miles clutched his brother's trembling body while keeping watch for what was to come.

It took a few minutes for Nigel to calm down. Miles has also responded to all possibilities related to his brother's reaction. Private space for both of them..

“El, I've prepared ships and helicopters. But there is something to consider, Brother,” said Miles gently as he grabbed the palm of Nigel to hold.

“I'd really like to meet my Gee, Ice,” reply Nigel pleaded. Miles understood that feeling. Parting with my wife is very painful.

Even the one Nigel was naturally heavier than he felt. His longing for Avery who often relented to spend time together alone for the condition of Nigel who was dependent on Miles.

“Listen, I mean it. Jarrett once said that his mother never left the island of Delan because she could not. Although I was not told the reason, I am sure Genaya will not disappear from there.”

“I miss, Ice. I miss Gee-ku.”

“El, if you can, I'll take you there right away. But your condition is not possible yet, Kak”

“Can, Ice. I-i can. I want my Gee. My trauma is nothing. Just use the helicopter so I don't get on the water vehicle.”

“Helicopters can only reach Mainland island. There are no helipads on the island of Delan. You still have to pass the sea from Mainland to Delan, El.”

“Es, I beg.”

“If the condition of your feet is not like now, you can get off the helicopter through the rope ladder like you once did,” said Miles almost desperately.

“Es, please take me to meet Genaya. If I start to react with my trauma, I won't force you anymore. I'll obey everything you say.”

“Good. Remember also what you just read, Genaya who is now Gail, a mother of a child named Jarrett and Jemma. The most important thing is that Genaya is forgetting memories since your accident.”

***

“Gail, try to see this information,” said one of The Brown employees.

Gail reached for the mobile phone that was launched by the employee who was younger than her. On the screen was a photo of the poster she was asked to read.

“Thank you, yes,” said Gail while returning the phone to its owner. He has recorded important points for him to work on, following the race.

“Mama. Mamma. Mama,” the scream that Gail memorized was coming from Jarret sounding closer towards her. Soon the mother ran towards the yard.

“My son,” greets Gail with his trademark face, happy look.

The child side of Jarrett immediately made himself ask to be carried by Gail. A face that wants to be kissed is not left behind.

Jarrett misses this woman who carried him. It turned out that three days apart could make him want to indulge like this with Gail.

“Jarrett, have you forgotten your body is getting bigger. Do not linger carried,” said Addison teasing the meeting between the child and the mother

“I miss my mom, Om Adi. Wait until mama is angry, I just want to go down,” Jarrett said. Her cute face invites the laughter of Gail and Addison.

“Get go of my mama, Jarrett. Which you should have hugged me for a long time,” interrupted Jemma while running towards the three humans who were still standing in the yard.

Jarrett immediately moved the body sign asking Gail to be lowered. He immediately greeted his sister who accidentally crashed their body. Both chuckle.

The four of them met The Brown who was in the kitchen. At once Addison said goodbye to the couple who were also like parents to the young man.

Jarrett was on the first list of what Addison did when he arrived on the island of Delan. That's taking the little guy to The Brown's before he goes home to the villa.

Quite satisfied to release the kangen, they also split because it is still time to work. Gail has affairs with Addison to her villa office, Landon continues cooking and Ellie takes care of the supplies of the ingredients.

While Duo J chose to go to Gail's workspace to spend time waiting for the adult to finish work.

“This is for Jarrett Brown,” said Jemma cheerfully and one container of fruit salad stuffed right in front of her brother's face.

“One-time helper Jemma Brown,” responds to Jarrett upset that his nose is almost in contact with the side of the container. Say again, “I do miss this but can take it yourself.”

Jemma laughing. Indeed his goal made Jarrett say in an annoyed tone to him. He likes and misses getting the eye prickles like now.

“But also me,” pinta Jemma after that open his mouth so that the one in the spoon Jarrett switch to his mouth.

“Close your mouth. This salad is my ration. It's been three days that I feel the mama's hand concoction,” said Jarrett, who still voiced in an annoyed tone.

“Iya, alright,” Jemma said with a big smile. Continue saying, “Seeing you eat like that, I get full. It's been three days I'm not this happy.”

Jarrett no longer spoke back. His teeth were busy chewing pieces of fruit and his heart was busy feeling good to be back with the family.

“Jarrett,” call Jemma then move to sofa and sit leaning. Say again, “After you're done with the fruit salad, give me your hug.”

In just two minutes, Jarrett granted Jemma's words. She also missed the moment of sharing that dear hug.

“Jemma, I understand now,” said Jarrett seriously and made his sister look and stare with a serious look.

“What?”

“Why can you stay,” said Jarrett lightly and then laughed nosily.

“Jarrett Brown!” yell Jemma. Replace him who is upset.

“I'm serious, my twin,” said Jarrett while further tightening their hold. Further said, “Separt more a day. Far from family. It turns out it wasn't easy.”

“True,” timpal Jemma then said,” Tomorrow we part again, my twin.”

“So you're off to stop playing the piano at the party. As I expected, you and which music can be restricted.”

“True. I also have a sister because she likes my music.”

“Whose name is Evelyn, yes?”

“Iya, Evelyn Irey.”

“Irey? Irey family, you mean?” jarret said spontaneously. He just realized with the last name of the girl who lately often became the topic of Jemma.
