Love, Life, and Jennifer
Ok

"I thought the brakes weren't working right, Rob." I said to Rob who is currently packing my motorcycle engine

"That's right, Jen! I've told you before, don't drive it more than 100 km/h for the next few days!" Rob looks upset, while slamming the screwdriver slowly that was used by him to compartmentalize my motorcycle engine. I immediately crouched down next to him, then looked at him with my innocent gaze, which could always tear him down

"I'm sorry... " I smiled, showing my teeth. Sure enough! Rob softens

"Aaaahhh... This girl!" Rob stood up, and so did I

Oh, yep! My name is Jennifer Elizabeth Lie, and they call me Jenny. I am a girl of Indonesian-Chinese descent, and currently living in Washington DC, United States.

I am 24 years old, and in a few months, on August 22, I am 25.

I am currently pursuing an S2 International Business degree at one of the most prestigious universities in DC.

And that guy, he's Robby or we used to call him Rob! He was my mainstay mechanic for the last 8 years, in fact, Rob was the one who introduced me to the world of motorcycles. I've considered Rob like my own brother, as well as Rob. He always looked after me like his own brother

"All right, it's done. I fixed the brakes." Said Rob

"Thank you very much, Rob! You are my god of help!" My heart, then hugged Rob tightly. On the sidelines of our chat, a car stopped right in front of Rob's garage.

"Jenny!" A girl who had just gotten out of the car, seemed annoyed as she approached me. She was Shierly, my best friend when I first sat in college. She always postponed her studies, and preferred her career in the modeling world. That is why, Shierly has not also won his S1 title to date.

"Are you skipping college just for this!" Shierly folded his hands together, staring intently at me. I smiled at him, with my innocent face

"Jen, you just told me that you're on vacation today." Rob suddenly approached us, and made me feel even more guilty

"So you lied to Rob!" Shierly was getting upset

"Baaahh... Th-that's..."

"Heeeyy, what's going on?" Mike approached us, followed by Mark, Mike's best friend. It makes me breathe a little.

"Mike, my motorcycle brakes didn't work very well, so I decided to skip college, and come to Rob." Jel explained. Mike nodded faintly, as if understanding.

And this guy, he's Mike, the guy who's been my girlfriend for almost two years. I got to know him through Rob, when I just got back from my holiday in Indonesia, after getting my S1 title.

"Yes, Mike! How's our plan?" Mark said, embracing Mike

"What plan?" I asked Mark

"We're planning to go to Florida, I thought you'd join us." Mike made sure

"Oowwwhhh! With pleasure!" Rob looks excited

"I'm sick of these machines!" Rob left his waist and looked around his garage, and we laughed.

"What about you, Jen?" Mike looked at me expectantly. I teased her a little bit as if thinking.

"mmmmm... How, yeah..." I said as I scratched my left temple with my fingertips.

"Come, Jenny..." Mike took both my hands, looking me in the face. I smiled, unable to bear to see the adorable face of this handsome lover of mine.

"All right..." Suddenly my phone rings. I immediately let go of Mike's hand

"Attent." I walked away from them, and immediately grabbed the phone in my pants pocket. When I look at the screen on my phone, 'Home'. I'm sure if you call me at this hour, it's my mom.

"Jen, we go back to Indonesia today, son." That's papa's voice! Papa's voice sounded a little shaky. Papa couldn't have come home at this hour if it wasn't about something very important.

"What's up, pa?" I asked papa. I'm a little worried across here

"You go home now, pack the important stuff, son. Papa's looking for a ticket, hopefully. The important thing is that you go home now, son." Papa immediately closed the call.

I paused for a moment, thinking about what was going on, until...

"What's up, Jenny?" Mike and the others came up to me, who was still glued to my phone.

"Jenny, did something bad happen?" Shierly looked worried for me, I turned to her

"Eh... That's..." I'm confused what to say.

"Jenny, tell us, what's going on?" Rob embraced me

"Come, Jennifer!" Mark seemed very worried to see my attitude change drastically

"Sorry, I can't join you guys." I said stammering

"You mean?" Mike was a little disappointed, and so were the others

"I have to go back to Indonesia." I said with a heavy heart

"That's right, Jen!" Mike looks pissed now. I'll approach her immediately

"Mike, please..." I grabbed Mike's hands, then looked at his face. "Something seems to be happening, I beg your understanding at this time." I stared at the faces of those in this place, one by one.

"What's really going on, Jen? Say it to us!" Rob seemed to worry about me more and more, I shook my head faintly

"My dad just told me to go home. His voice sounded very alarming..." My eyes are glazed now.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and they seemed to understand my situation now.

"Alright, Jen... We understand." Shierly came up to me, I immediately hugged her

"Thank you, baby..." I said to Shierly, then outlined my embrace

"I'm sorry, I can't join you now." I said with a heavy heart

"Happy, even without me!" I said comforting those who currently seem uninspired anymore

"I'm leaving now, yeah..." My words then passed. Suddenly someone pulled my hand, and took me into his arms.

"How long are you going to leave me?" Mike sounded very sad. His voice is a little shaky. My tears were dripping, right in his arms. I outlined his embrace, and shook my head.

"I don't know for sure." I said without looking at Mike's face. Mike wiped the rest of the tears off my eyes.

"Always tell me..." Mike's voice was soft, and I nodded

"OK..."
