33. Stories from the Past

"Germen."

"Yes?"

"Let's be meek." said Jho by clasping Seruni's hand.

Seruni was silent, she looked at Jho. Examining whether Jho's remark was true, there was a twinkle of hope in Jho's eyes. Seruni lowered her head and then let out a long breath. He did not dislike it, but he did not know more about who Jho was. They were close by phone, too, and the meeting was now the fourth time.

So, naturally Seruni hesitated with Jho's words. Jho approached Seruni who was facing the beach, staring at the orange sky which now began to disappear after the sunset passed. Jho looked at Seruni from the side, he knew the girl was hesitant at him. Doubtful about it, but he actually said it from his heart.

"What do you doubt about my words?" ask Jho.

"Mr Jho, are we worth it? You who? All this time I have never known you, we met four times, right? So, where's your interest in me?" ask Seruni.

"You know, ever since I saw you for the first time at that night's club. I feel like you, and it just so happens that you're the waiter at the cafe. I'm glad to see you again. My friends back then supported me too, so I ventured closer to you" Jho explained their first meeting.

"But you don't know who I am yet, and I don't know who you are either" said Seruni still remaining doubtful.

"What makes you doubt again? Do I have to tell you who I am?"

"Yes, I have to make sure everything if you don't have a first lover or a first wife. Because I don't want to be an actor, even though I like ..." Seruni's speech was interrupted, making Jho smile.

"At whom?"

"Emm, no."

"Don't dodge. Tell me, to whom?"

"Your squad." replied Seruni looking down embarrassedly, making Jho even more confident that he would get Seruni.

He then hugged Seruni from behind, silently wanting to feel her heartbeat beating fast. His love does not clap one hand, Seruni was silent. He felt stupid about what he said. But even so, Seruni remained doubtful.

"I have not been honest with my current status. My current status is widower, I have no lover or first wife. The first wife cheated on her ex-boyfriend and went with him, and then I divorced him. Any other questions?" tanya Jho was still hugging Seruni from behind.

Because Jho and Seruni are only limited to Jho's chin height. Making Seruni unable to move, I don't know who is more possessive in acting.

"You're a divorcee?" ask Seruni.

"Yes. Wh why? You mind my status?"

"No. It's just ..."

"What?"

"You have a child?"

"Not yet, I want to have a child with you." Jho's answer made Seruni again flutter.

"But does your family know if you came to see me?" seruni asked, for some reason she was very curious about Jho more deeply.

"Both of my parents are dead" Jho said.

"Ooh, sorry then. I'm sorry, you're an orphan."

"Yes. So you're free with no one to bother if you become my wife" Jho said.

"Where do you work?" ask Seruni.

"But it's Sunday night, of course there's nothing preventing you from working" Seruni said.

"Huhah! Smart of you."

"Emm, Mr. Jho."

"Yes?"

"You know who I am?" ask Seruni.

"Not yet know who you are. That's why I want to know who you are" Jho said.

"I'm an ordinary girl, not a rich man. I traveled to Bali to find a decent life. My parents couldn't send me to college. I just graduated High School and worked as a cafe waitress" said Seruni taking off Jho's arms from behind.

Although he feels happy, but there is a bauknya Jho should know who he is. Not the son of a rich man, very far from the social strata between himself and Jho. He was afraid if with Jho thought he wanted to live luxury. Both of his parents would also be surprised he got a very rich Jho.

"I don't care what people think, Seruni. Everyone deserves love, I fell in love with you. And I want to get you. Is it not enough that love does not look at everything?" said Jho.

"I'm just afraid, I think I just want your property or my status to change" said Seruni again softly.

Because he had experience, never felt like with my classmate in High School. And he was close to the boy's friend who was indeed the richest among his schoolmates. The man's mother found out that he was close to her son, so he was scorned. Even at low.

He accused her of only wanting to be close to her son to get his property and social recognition because the mother of his male friend knew that he was a child of ordinary people. Seruni told Jho about it, so he knew that he would not dare to love the rich.

"Emm, would you like to hear about my ex-wife?" jho asked, Seruni looked at Jho doubtfully. But finally nodded.

"She was my wife whom I loved for two years and was happily married. But it turns out that she cheated on me, even bravely cheating on me in my own home with her ex-boyfriend who just came home from abroad. That's so evil, isn't it? And it hurts me so much. He used me, always sending money to his mistress and stealing my car. He even asked for my effort. Because I was sick of him so I let him get me one of my efforts" Jho said, recalling the bitterness of his marriage.

This time he loves the person he thinks is right, although Seruni is not a girl like her who has abundant wealth. The company is good. But he will protect Seruni if there is any gossip about him.

"Germany, will you be my lover and my future wife?" ask Jho again.

Because Seruni also felt sad with Jho's household life after he told a story. Seruni lowered her head, feeling embarrassed and still feeling inferior.

"You don't worry, I'll always protect you if anyone bothers you later. I'm also going to meet your parents, so can you answer that now?" ask Jho again.

"Emm, can you answer me later?"

"No. Tomorrow I have to go back to Jakarta, don't make me wait long" Jho said.

"Ish, that's called forcing."

"Biarin, I'm forcing you. But you want to, right?"

"Emm, yes." replied Seruni looking down.

Jho pulled Seruni's chin, looked at her sweet face and smiled. Her face she brought closer, her lips touching Seruni's tiny lips. Pecking and poking her softly, but Seruni immediately pushed her. His face flushed and then turned towards the beach again.

Jho is happy, he has now got the girl of his heart. Seruni turned out to be willing to accept her love proposal, even they just got to know. But that's okay for Jho, he believes Seruni is a different girl than his ex-wife used to be.
