Just My Ex Husband
Part 43 - I love you

The atmosphere of Verlita's house was so quiet after the departure of Alya and Meyriska. Verlita feels so guilty for her future son-in-law, it should not be like this in the moment of her first meeting with Jenny.

"Sit down Jenn."

Verlita patted the sofa beside her, asking Jenny to sit side by side with him. Jenny obeyed Verlita's orders, she sat beside Verlita with an erratic feeling.

"Juna, you better take care of Clarisa first. Looks like he's getting sleepy."

Verlita tells Arjuna to look at Clarisa in her room, so that Verlita is more free to discuss about the matchmaking Alya proposed to her.

"Mamah hope you don't mind the incident earlier. Don't discourage your good intentions with Arjuna."

Verlita fully supports Arjuna's relationship with Jenny. The woman did not want to see her son's dreams shattered again.

"It doesn't look like it's going to be easy for Jenny to be with Arjuna."

Announced Jenny's face that almost gave up just like that will be her relationship with Arjuna. Jenny could no longer hope. Not yet Jenny stepped up, she had to fall back.

"No Jenn. Don't say it like that. Whatever the obstacles may be, hope you can unite, for the sake of your grandchildren."

Verlita continues to strengthen Jenny's heart.

"Can Jenny be honest, huh?"

Jenny looked at Verlita with a pushy look.

"Of course Jenn."

Verlita said, giving Jenny a chance.

"Honestly, Jenny has started to love Arjuna, but somehow Jenny feels that the destiny of love has never been on Jenny's side. Maybe Jenny is just a normal woman, not worthy of being with Arjuna. If it is felt that Jenny's relationship with Arjuna only reached here, Jenny will try to let go of Arjuna. Jenny's used to the meaning of loss."

The wail of tears that Jenny tried to endure remained in vain. The clear circle had wet Jenny's smooth cheeks.

"Don't give up Jenn, please. For Clarisa and Cleo's sake, even for your happiness."

Verlita clasps Jenny's fingers tightly, trying to give Jenny strength.

"Are you not tired of constantly succumbing to your love life?"

Verlita's question has a point, too. Should Jenny give up again? Just like when I handed Frans over to Alea.

"You deserve to be happy, Jenn."

Verlita confirmed again, looking at Jenny full of confidence.

"Jenny is scared mah. Really scared to start again. The doubt was instantly re-present in Jenny's mind."

Jenny's breath was slightly stung, powerless to hold back the emotions raging in her heart. Jenny's shoulder shook with the cry that Jenny could no longer hide.

Verlita takes Jenny into her arms, trying to calm Jenny's erratic mood.

After Clarisa falls asleep, Arjuna returns to the living room to see Jenny's condition. Arjuna looked at Jenny guiltily, not supposed to be Jenny watching this incident.

"Juna, take Jenny home. Let Jenny rest at home."

Verlita who felt sorry for Jenny asked Arjuna to drive her home, the time was already showing at ten o'clock at night.

"Yes mah, Juna takes Jenny home first. Tomorrow Jenny's got to get to work."

Then they rushed to their way home. Jenny's heart has missed Cleo so much, it feels like to hurry home to meet her beloved son. Just looking at Cleo made Jenny's heart feel peaceful.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening Jenny arrives home, still with her erratic feelings at the thought of her relationship with Arjuna. Should it continue? Or just give up.

"Jenn..."

Call Juna in a soft and slightly hoarse voice.

"Yes." Yeah."

That was only Jenny's answer when she turned her body. Arjuna's call stopped Jenny's steps towards the entrance.

Arjuna drew closer towards Jenny who was still bowing her head. Jenny was unable to stare at Arjuna any longer, before everything fell too deep. Jenny was still trying to control her heart, so that the sense of loss was not so felt.

"Don't lower your love for me, Jenn."

Arjuna clasped Jenny's fingers, the man seemed to understand Jenny who wanted to give up just like that.

"Don't just shut up, Jenn, don't make me nervous after driving you home."

Jenny's mind is like slapped if you remember the incident at Verlita's house. There's a question Jenny's been hard to ask. Jenny is still not out of thought why Arjuna did not tell Jenny before? That's what made Jenny's heart a little disappointed in Arjuna.

"Come Arjuna. I feel unworthy of you, before things get too far."

Arjuna's heart jumped to hear Jenny's words, he increasingly tightened his grip on Jenny, although Jenny tried to pull her fingers from Arjuna's grasp.

"No Jenn, don't tell me that. Reassure our love."

"Go home, it's night."

Jenny had no power to hold back tired, wanted to immediately go into the room and spill her tears there.

"I won't be home until you promise not to leave Jenn."

Arjuna was still stubborn with his beliefs, then Jenny took a deep breath.

"Yes." Yeah."

It was just that word that Jenny said to Arjuna, hoping that Arjuna would leave him soon. The word yes does not mean promise to Jenny, but it means a lot to Arjuna.

Arjuna kissed Jenny's forehead long enough, full of deep feelings.

"I love you."

Whisper Arjuna after letting go of Jenny's forehead, while Jenny only smiles a little in front of Arjuna before Arjuna leaves from before her.

Today was a very busy weekend for Jenny, she had to make sure two weddings went smoothly at the same time. Lucky Jenny has a great team, assisted by Franda and friends.

In addition to being talented in wedding organizer design, Jenny's skills are now increasing, namely experts in terms of bridal make up. Thanks to the help of William who often included Jenny in some training beuty class, making Jenny more proficient in terms of bridal makeup and some party makeup.

At about four in the afternoon, Jenny returned to Imelda's wedding. It's time for the bride and groom to change into costumes and make up, because their wedding is held until the evening.

Jenny's move seemed rushed since getting out of the car, Jenny did not want to disappoint her client. Arriving at the location Jenny immediately approached Imelda.

"Mba Imelda let's get ready to change costumes and make up."

Tell Jenny while grabbing the bride's arm.

"Ready Mba Jenny."

Imelda gave her best smile to Jenny. Then Jenny took Imelda to the makeup room not far from the party area.

Jenny's hand was very deftly adorned Imelda, the woman was ceaselessly smiling looking at her who had been transformed into a queen a day by Jenny.

"Mba Jenny, I'm really satisfied with her make up and bridal dress."

Imelda praised Jenny's skills and fashion sense.

"Alhamdulillah if mba Imelda likes."

Jenny humbled in front of Imelda. The woman continued her activities of dressing Imelda vigorously.

"Finally done. Look Imelda's beautiful."

Jenny placed both of her palms on Imelda's shoulders. The bride smiled, looking at herself from the mirror image.

"Thank you Jenny."

"Sama-sama mba, let me take you to the pelaminan. The groom's waiting for the mba there."

Jenny said, offering her kindness to Imelda. While the groom has been handled by Franda for the costume, because the groom will not drag the woman, so Jenny is more entrusted to Franda.

Jenny had sent Imelda sitting back at the temple to meet some of the invited guests. Suddenly Jenny's phone rang, a whatsapp message came in on Jenny's phone.

:: Arjuna ::

Is it done, baby?

05:03 pm

Jenny has told Arjuna that her work will be done this afternoon. Arjuna was impatient to meet his idol who had almost a week they had not met, due to the busyness of each.

After replying to Arjuna's whatsapp message, Jenny suddenly bumps into a handsome man clad in slimfit black cloth pants and a batik shirt that fits perfectly on his body. Jenny's footsteps that are too focused on the phone screen make Jenny not pay attention to the road in front of her.

"Sorry sir, sorry."

Kilah Jenny tried to apologize to the man, still with a downcast look holding back the fear. The man stupefiedly looked at Jenny, looking at the woman he had missed for three years.

The view of the man was fascinated to enjoy the beauty of Jenny's body, even though only wrapped in black jeans and knee-length cardigan, did not reduce Jenny's charm at all.

"Jenny..."

Call the man in such a soft voice, even forcing Jenny's face to stare at him. Jenny was stunned as well, enduring an immeasurable sense of surprise. Never had Jenny imagined before, that she would be reunited with the man Jenny had long wanted to forget.

"French..."

Jenny's mouth gaped in disbelief staring at Frans.

Why should we meet again?
