At about seven o'clock in the evening Jenny arrived home. Jammed streets in Jakarta made Jenny a little late to go home, even though Cleo had been whining to her nanny since this afternoon. Cleo can't wait for Jenny's return.
I don't know why Cleo seems to have memorized the clock of Jenny's return. Jenny was a little late to go home, it was certain Cleo would be agitated to whine for a video connection to her caregiver for a video call the mother.
"ma. ma. ma. ma.."
Cleo ran small with her tiny bare feet, after hearing Jenny's car engine parked in the yard. Not once twice Cleo's behavior every heard the sound of a parked car as well as knowing that his mother had gone home.
Jenny immediately got out of the car and quickly walked over to Cleo who was waiting for her on the porch.
"Dear mama's son, must miss the same mama yah?"
Jenny said as she kissed Cleo's puffed cheek. The boy just laughed loosely held back the tingling sensation due to Jenny's kisses that plumped his cheeks.
"Angen ma. ma. angen.."
Cleo always pauses in every mommy call for Jenny. His head was adorable, then Jenny brought Cleo inside, not wanting her beloved son to linger feeling the night breeze that hit the porch of the house.
Mba Sinta who is Cleo's nanny takes some of Jenny's luggage in the car. The woman, who may be five years older than Jenny, immediately lit a candle on Cleo's birthday cake.
When entering the house, Jenny seemed to not believe that her mother came to visit only to meet her favorite grandson on Cleo's second birthday.
"Why didn't you say you were coming here?"
Jenny grabbed her mother's fingers and kissed the middle-aged woman's back.
"Yes, Jenn, I didn't mean to let you and Leo surprise you."
Jenny simply smiled, then cheerfully they sang a happy birthday song to Cleo in the living room. There was only Jenny, Sinta and her mother.
"Happy birthday dear, healthy child always dear. Grow up to be a good boy, smart and strong."
Jenny expresses all her hopes for Cleo, but the boy is just busy with a spiderman-designed birthday cake, which Cleo's favorite character.
Everyone kissed Cleo with anxiety. The little boy looked adorable with his cheeks puffed up, white skin deep black eyes, thick eyebrows. Exactly resembles the face of his father, Arjuna.
"Jenny, your child's age is growing again. Don't you want to build another house?"
Reveal Jenny's mother after the atmosphere in the living room is finished. While Sinta was busy behind cleaning up the dirty dishes the rest of the candle blow event earlier.
Jenny was silent for a moment at her mother's question. The question never once came out of Linda's mouth twice, Jenny's mother.
"I'm not ready, Mom. I'm comfortable with this."
Jenny answered while looking at Cleo who was busy opening a gift containing miniature toys of dinosaurs that Jenny bought.
"Don't so Jenn. Maybe you're comfortable like this, but not for Leo who needs a father's affection, who needs a father's role."
Jenny only silently listened to her mother's advice that Jenny very clear, but there is a limit that is difficult Jenny translucent to accept her mother's advice. Perhaps the remains of the wound that Frans had cut were still at the bottom of Jenny's heart.
"When are you going to meet Leo with Jenn's real father?"
Linda is getting more and more interested in Jenny with some of her questions.
Linda already knew that her grandson was not Frans' flesh and blood, because of the shape of Cleo's face there was no resemblance to Frans.
"Jenny's scared mom. Afraid that she'll take Cleo away from Jenny's arms and Jenny doesn't want that to happen Mom. It felt too scary to Jenny, because Cleo was everything to Jenny."
Jenny replied with a stern look, focusing on looking at Cleo.
"Is he Jen's single guy?"
Ask Jenny's mother again.
"Don't know ma'am, we did i**tu about two years ago. Jenny's wife died in a plane crash."
Jenny's mother is sorry to hear Jenny's answer which explains the fate of Arjuna who lost his wife.
"If she meant it to you, you better take it Jenn, for Leo."
Jenny only responded with a small smile, not wanting to discuss more.
Suddenly the sound of the main door being knocked by someone, Jenny and Cleo are sure that Bella's arrival with William who has told them that they will visit the house on Cleo's birthday.
"Let Jenny open the door first, ma'am."
Jenny got up from the chair, her steps breezed towards the main door. Cleo who saw Jenny go ahead immediately released the toy that was in her grasp. Cleo's small legs followed Jenny's steps who had almost reached the living room.
Kolkata. . .
The door opened, showing a face that surprised Jenny. Where does that guy know Jenny's house now? They had just met this afternoon when Jenny hit her at the hotel.
Arjuna stood gallantly at the door, giving his best smile to Jenny who seemed excited to see Arjuna's face. Especially Cleo who was following Jenny's steps.
Just in case Jenny deliberately does not want to open the entrance wide, so that Cleo's arrival is not visible to Arjuna. Unfortunately Cleo had already reached Jenny's feet, calling Jenny.
"Ma.m.."
It was so adorable that Cleo called her mom with her hands raised upwards, asking to be carried by Jenny.
Arjuna who came with Ivan was surprised to see Cleo. Cleo's face looks a lot like Arjuna's, and Ivan is just as surprised to see Leo looking like a miniature big boss.
"Arjuna mini version."
Reveal Ivan after seeing Cleo in Jenny's arms.
I don't know what Jenny feels like? Can not imagine how the look on Jenny's face withstood excessive anxiety.
Just now Jenny's mother advised her daughter to meet Cleo with Arjuna, now the man actually came to Jenny's house, met Jenny and Cleo.
Jenny wants to leave the house and hide Cleo, but that's all Jenny can't do. Arjuna already knew Cleo's whereabouts, knowing Cleo's facial features.
"Pa pa pa."
Jenny's heart was broken when Cleo called Arjuna Papah.
Out of nowhere the boy came the idea of calling the adult man papah. Maybe due to the cartoon series that he often watched with Sinta, making Cleo know the figure of a father who may be unwittingly Cleo longing for his presence.
