Emily, The Mute Girl
Still Want to Go

Hearing they were so enthusiastic about discussing the niece, Emily hurriedly waved her hand. It would be terrible if they told Jeremy about it. But he himself knew it was impossible.

'I'm sorry. I don't want to destroy your dreams, but it's impossible to have children in my current state of health.'

"You don't think bad, Emily. As time goes on, your health will definitely improve" Aunt Agnes said.

"Really, Brother. Doesn't Doctor Darren always take care of you every day? Emily's sister will definitely recover soon" Indriana said encouragingly.

"After all, don't you want to have children with your husband?" ask Aunt Agnes again.

Emily remained silent. Of course she had a child once, but with Jeremy? Huh.. It was something very unlikely. Seeing Emily not responding to her question, Aunt Agnes again said,

"Emily, have a child before your husband dies like my husband. Having children will be an encouragement when your husband is not around."

Emily looked down sadly.

"Did Auntie just swear on my big brother to die soon?" ask Fernando to Aunt Agnes.

"Tante knows, it's very wrong" Steven added.

Aunt Agnes shrugged her shoulders.

"Nobody knows how a man's life goes. I'm just trying to give you advice. To be left behind by your loved ones in this world, is enough to kill yourself slowly." Aunt Agnes took a breath for a moment then added,

"The existence of a child will be your strength in the future. Besides, I'm sorry, I still suspect that your cousin has other intentions for you. You have to be careful of him."

'Tante, he's not as bad as Auntie thought.' Emily gestured with a smile.

"You're too positive, Emily. Anyway you should always remember to be careful with him, and always take good care of your health. I miss so much the time with you in your bakery." Aunt Agnes said as she clasped Emily's hand.

"What Aunt Agnes said is true, brother." said Fernando.

"Sister must take care of the health of his sister well" said Indriana.

"Sister Emily, I wish you a speedy recovery" Adriana said.

Emily felt guilty hearing all their prayers and wishes for her to heal quickly, but at this time she could only smile and say thank you in her gesture.

They continued their conversation without realizing that Clarissa had secretly heard everything. He clenched his hands hearing them demand Emily to have a child with Jeremy. In his heart, there was envy and sadness, because the Jeremy brothers did not like him. They did not even want him to participate in their warm conversation.

******

Jeremy came home when the clock on the wall showed eleven o'clock past twenty minutes. The job that was left behind as long as he and Emily were gone, required him to overtime today. Once he arrived, Pak Wawan immediately told him that Emily wanted to meet him in person.

Jeremy went straight to Emily without changing clothes. Clarissa, who had been waiting for jeremy to come home, was late to her room. She swallowed the bitter taste in her heart when she saw Jeremy walk into Emily's room. In his grief he went back into his quiet room.

"Do you want to eat or drink something? I'll ask the waiter to bring it for you" Jeremy said as he and Emily sat side by side on the sofa in Emily's room.

'You alone, have you had dinner yet?'

"I had a meal in the office with Luke." Jeremy answered honestly.

She actually wanted to have dinner with Emily today, but her job did not allow for her to go home early. And his reliable assistant was unlikely to let him eat late.

"Then, what do you want to talk to me about?" ask Jeremy.

'Let's end this quickly.' cues Emily.

Jeremy widened his eyes.

"What do you mean?" tanyakanya.

'I think you know what I mean, Jeremy. When we got stuck in the woods, I wanted to end it all. But you reminded me of Aunt Liana and I thought it was true. I didn't want to make her sad so I decided to listen to you. But now, I think that's enough. Everyone knew I was sick and my health was declining. If I die now, no one is suspicious of this.' Emily hinted at everything so clearly.

"What are you talking about?" Jeremy was so angry in his heart to hear Emily talk about her death. Even though it was just pretend, Jeremy was not ready to accept his departure.

'I'm talking about our deal.' Emily's gesture makes it clear.

Jeremy felt stung at his heart, why did Emily so want to leave his side? Why should all this misunderstanding happen? Seeing Jeremy speechless with a confused look on his face, Emily then waved back.

'I think this is the right time. We can consult Dr. Darren on this. After all, I'm sure you don't want to continue to bond with me either.'

'Who said he didn't want to bond with her?' thought Jeremy. He clenched his hands tightly.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" tanyakanya.

'Aren't you the one who's been in a hurry from the start?' emily's signal asked.

Jeremy's eyes grew in shock. Yep! He was in such a hurry that he deliberately sent people to kill his wife. Jeremy growls. Why was he so stupid in the past? She doesn't even like Emily because she is considered just a burden and hinders her dreams, even though Emily herself is innocent and doesn't know anything because this marriage was designed by their grandparents.

'Right now, everything is in line with the plan. The sooner we part, the better.' Emily gestured when she saw Jeremy keep quiet.

'That's all I want to talk about. You can leave now, continued Emily and stood up to open the door.

"What if I don't want to split up?" Jeremy finally made a sound, making a gesture of Emily's hand holding the doorknob instantly stop. He was silent for a moment before turning around and looking at Jeremy who was also staring at him.

"What if I don't want to split up?" Jeremy repeated the question.

Not want? A glimmer of warmth crept into Emily's chest, but as she recalled the young girl currently on the same roof as her, she immediately dismissed the feeling.

'That's totally useless.' his signal.

"Why?" ask Jeremy rauc.

'Because I still want to go.' Emily gestured firmly.

He chooses to end it all, without giving Jeremy a chance to say what is in his heart. Jeremy's heart was sliced, he felt pain in his heart when he saw Emily still wanted to go from him. He walked forward to grab Emily into his arms, but Emily first opened the door and found Clarissa standing there.
