2 Hours passed.
Karin finished cleaning her body, and had finished changing her clothes.
Then, he slowly stepped foot while bowing his head towards the dining table. At that time, Jean was cooking food in the kitchen opposite the dining table.
Jean realizes that Karin is stepping towards her. Suddenly, he immediately put on a cheerful face that seemed like nothing had happened. In order for Karin not to regret too much, everything that had happened.
He rushes towards Karin, then pulls Karin's wrist and leads her to the dining table.
"Sarin, taste. I made you food, your favorite." He said, with a cheerful facial expression.
Jean placed a plate containing the food Karin liked, on the table in front of Karin. Karin looked at Jean, with teary eyes.
"Here you go, finish your food quickly. After this, I'll go to work. Do you know what? My job today, so much." Said Jean, with a sense of excitement.
"Maybe, I'll be home late at night. So, don't go anywhere until I get home!" He said to Karin again, with a cheerful expression.
It was clearly seen, that he put on a cheerful expression just to cover up his sadness and guilt. He also did not want to show his sadness, in front of Karin. Because he wanted to make Karin, feel better.
"But I also have to go to work, Jean." Sahut Karin, stammering.
"You just take a break, for a few days. I'll apply for your leave to President Chand, once I get to the Company." Said Jean.
"A-will but-" Karin stammered.
"Just calm down, Karin." Said Jean, gently stroking Karin's hair.
Then Karin silently nodded her head, obeying the orders and proposals of Jean.
After that, they ate slowly the food that Jean had prepared.
...----------------...
"Huaah, fullness!" Said Jean, rubbing her stomach that was bulging because of the satiety.
"Alright, I'll get ready and go" he said again.
He brought the dirty dishes to the kitchen, to be cleaned immediately. After that, he left the dinner table to prepare for work.
Just then, Karin slowly stepped out of the dining table to head to the room.
He dropped his body on the bed, with both arms crossed over his eyes.
From the makeup mirror in the room, Jean looked at Karin who looked very bad. He could only be silent, seeing Karin covering up his suffering.
After that, Jean tries to say goodbye to Karin.
"Sunday, I'm leaving. Wait for me to come back, yeah!" He said to Karin, after finishing putting on her face.
"Be careful on the road, Jean." Karin looked at Jean for a moment.
Jean steps slowly, leaving Karin to head to her workplace.
Simultaneously, Karin again cried in her slump. He kept imagining everything that had happened to him. He felt that if his life had been ruined after he lost his honor, he felt that he would not be able to be with any man in this situation. He also felt that if he had no self-esteem anymore, he felt that there was no difference in him from the jerk who was with Morgan last night.
"There's no hope for me anymore, I'm just like that woman." He told himself, crying.
...----------------...
Meanwhile, Jean arrives at the company where she works. He immediately applied for leave, for Karin to the HRD.
"Sir, I want to help Karin apply for leave for some time. Right now, his health is not good." He told the HRD.
"Alright, I'll make the cut file." Sahut the HRD.
"Thank you." His word.
Then, Jean stepped into the study to finish her work. So that he can go home soon, to accompany Karin.
...----------------...
4 Days have passed.
Since the incident, Karin has not been allowed to leave the house by Jean. Jean's goal, so that Karin can calm her mind first. While Jean, keep doing his activities as usual.
"Jean, I'm fine." Karin said, as Jean was about to go to the company.
"Listen, wait a few more days." Jean, holding Karin's hand.
...----------------...
Day 5
Jean came to the Company, to do her job as usual.
Exactly 14:00
The Assistant President of the Company where Jean and Karin worked, came to Jean's room.
"Jean, where is Karin?" Ask the Assistant President, whose name is Kevin.
"Assistant Kevin, Karin's still not feeling well. So, he has not been able to come to the Company. Is there anything Karin has to do? I will replace the job that will be given to Karin, Kevin's Assistant." Said Jean.
"Alright, there are some important files that have been previously done by Karin. Study in 1 hour, because at 15:30 we will meet with the President of a famous Company. That is, Leoparadise Company" said Kevin's Assistant.
"Well, I'll learn soon." Jean said, without hesitation.
Jean is a little confused looking for an important file that Kevin's Assistant says, he searches every drawer and locker on Karin's desk.
But still he could not find it. Then, he decided to call Karin back then.
"Today, this afternoon there will be a meeting with a well-known Company. Can you tell me what important files you've been working on before?" He asked Karin on the phone.
"The file is in the bottom locker, stacked with green and blue files. The map cover on the file is orange, Jean." Karin said from the phone.
At the same time, Jean searched for the important file based on the direction Karin had spoken.
"Yeah, I found it. Thank you, Karin." He said, holding the file he had found.
"Jean, are you in trouble because of me? I will come to the Company, to finish the work that should be my responsibility." Karin said from the phone.
"Calm down, you can count on me." His heart, with a high spirit.
"Je-jean. I-I'm sorry, it's always been a hassle for you." Karin said, from the phone.
"That's it, don't think too much of anything weird." Legally.
"Yes, I have to study this important file immediately. I hung up on him first, yeah. Take good care of yourself, at home. See you later, Karin." He said, he immediately hung up the phone.
For a moment he was pensive, still thinking about Karin. Then, he tried to forget it by rushing to focus on his work.
The time has shown at 15:30, Assistant Kevin again called Jean and asked her to come to the meeting room immediately.
Then, as Jean entered the room. Jean was instantly speechless, her eyes stunned at the one thing that made her lose focus. The look in his eyes, stunned at a man sitting on the left side by side with President Chand. (President Chand is the CEO of his Company).
A man with an elegant appearance who wore a black suit combined with a cream shirt and black material pants, his tie was orange striped black like a zebra cross. His face was very handsome, smooth and well-groomed. The eyes are very beautiful with pliable eyelashes, a sharp nose and thin lips pink. Her appearance looks perfect, with a Short Style with Messy Bangs haircut.
"Really, that guy looks like him." He murmured, in the heart.
He sat in the right corner of the end seat, next to Assistant Kevin.
Then, Chairman Chand, CEO of his company, said, "Well, we'll start the meeting this time."
"Before you start this meeting, you need to know. The person sitting next to me is Chairman Leon, the CEO of the Leoparadise Company who is already very famous in the business world." Said President Chand introducing the President of the Leoparadise Company, who turned out to be Leon.
Everyone gave their greetings, and gave their greetings to Leon.
After that, they all started their meeting, with all the members present in the room.
...****************...
Some time later, at exactly 19:00 the new meeting can be completed. There are still many obstacles in the creation of the file previously done by Karin, which Jean must represent.
Before everyone came out of the meeting room, the handsome man Jean said to Jean said, "I hope to fill in the details of this file, it can be fixed soon. In order, we can start working together soon." His word.
Then, he added his sentence. "Oh yeah, I know that this file isn't you working on it. That's why you look confused, in presenting the details. It would be better, if the one who made it presented. To be presented, clearly and in detail." He said, putting a sharp look at Jean.
Jean nodded her head, with trembling hands. Because since the process of meeting, Leon always criticized him with a cold attitude.
However, Jean confirmed his suggestion. Because, Jean does not really understand the important points of the file that Karin does on this file.
"Alright, President Leon. We'll fix it soon, the file details. Thank you very much, for your attention." President Chand.
"Well then, I'll be back next week. Chairman Chand, I hope our cooperation this time can be fast." Said Leon, to President Chand.
Then after the conversation, they all broke up from the meeting room and went home to each other.
...----------------...
Upon arriving at Jean's house, Jean sees Karin sitting pensively staring out her bedroom window.
"What are you doing?" Ask Karin.
"No, I'm just silent." Karin replied, with a stressful expression on her mind.
Jean realizes this, and tries to comfort Karin.
"Hey, do you know? Today, the CEO of Leoparadise Corporation came to talk about his cooperation with the Company we work for." He said, telling what happened today to Karin.
"And do you know? The CEO of that company, he's very handsome. But he was too cold and a little haughty, but he also made my heart tremble." He said again, trying to change Karin's depressed mood.
"Did he bully you?" Karin asked, with a facial expression that seemed interested in Jean's story.
"He didn't bully me, what he said was true. I can't present the contents of your file, properly. Then, at the next meeting they ask you to present it yourself." Said Jean, pursing her nose and sitting on the bed.
"I told you, I shouldn't bother you. Besides, I'm fine." Karin said, convincing Jean of her condition.
Jean looked at Karin, attentively and held both of her shoulders affectionately.
"Sunday, I know what you're thinking and what you're regretting. Believe me this is not the end of your life, even though the whole world rejects you. You've still been with me, since we were kids." He told Karin.
"For me, you're like my own sister. Whatever the circumstances, I'm not leaving you." Said again.
Karin reflex let out tears, and immediately hugged Jean tightly.
"Today, forget what happened. Let's get on with life."
"Thank you, Jean." Sahut Karin, moved.
Jean hoped that night would ease the burden in Karin's heart. Although he knew, that it would not make Karin quickly recover.
