"Jenny!" A middle-aged woman approached me with an excited smile, then hugged me, who was still in a confused state
"How are you, baby?" Said the woman shortly after outlining her embrace.
"? (You remember the aunt?)" He said with a smile.
Actually his face is not too foreign, it's just...
"Jen, this is Ii (aunt) Ji Hyo, Young Joon's mother, you still want to, right?" Mama came to me, who finally grew a little lost in hearing her explanation.
"And that, that's Uncle Min Chul, Young Joon's dad." Mama said pointing to a middle-aged man, who was standing right next to Papa.
I stared at everyone in the room one by one. They smiled at me, making me smile, masking my confusion.
Then I looked at the face of the woman who was still breaking her arms before me.
"...e? (I'm fine, bi... How's yours?)" I said to the woman. The woman smiled warmly at me.
"! (Can I get back to seeing you, make things better!)" The woman replied, smiling warmly.
They are the Park family.
I knew them when I lived in China. Their house was not too far from our apartment, back in China.
According to grandmother's story, the mother of Ji Hyo's aunt, the woman who greeted me with Mandarin earlier, was a friend of the grandmother, as well as the person who helped the grandmother when the grandmother slumped first.
To be honest, not much had changed from Min Chul's uncle and Ji Hyo's aunt, who distinguished the former, and those who were now, were the fine strokes on their faces that increased.
" Young Joon? (Sister, Young Joon isn't here?)" Said my mother to Ji Hyo's aunt.
I am currently preparing to go home, stop my activities for a moment, and then look towards my mother and aunt Ji Hyo who are sitting next to my grandmother's stool.
"Young Joon's... ⁇ , (he is still busy, because he was transferred to Indonesia a week ago)" Sahut Bibi Ji Hyo.
I don't know, hearing Aunt Ji Hyo's words just now, my heart was beating so fast.
There is a sensation in my heart.
I don't know! I'm having a hard time deciphering this sensation, it's just...
"Jenny, ⁇ Young Joon, uh? (Jenny, Young Joon stopped by here a few times, you guys met, didn't you?)" The words of Aunt Ji Hyo broke my daydream
"Eh... Um... That's... No, bi." My answer then approached them.
"Miss, Jen go home first, yeah." I then kissed Grandma's forehead, grandma nodding faintly
"... (Auntie sorry, I have to go home first)" I said a little bad,
Aunt Ji Hyo smiled.
"! ⁇ ,?(we'll see you later, yeah! Aunty's still a long time, right, in Indonesia?)" I said hoping Ji Hyo's aunt didn't feel disappointed.
He smiled and nodded.
"(go.)" Aunt Ji Hyo. I immediately hugged him, and said goodbye to uncle Min Chul
"Uncle, I'll go home first, yeah..." My sap is friendly, uncle Min Chul nodded.
"okay, everyone... I'll go home first, yeah..." My words then passed.
...****************...
While in my room, I thought about the Park family's presence. Was their arrival really pure to visit grandma, or was there something else?
"Aarrrggghhh!!!" I screamed, swearing at myself who came back so bad, that suddenly my bedroom door opened
"What's up, mbak!" Bi War, Minah's son who also works in this house, came up to me with a very worried face.
I looked at him with a surprised look.
"What's wrong, bi?" Ask me for wonder
"Lho, how come back, anyway... Wong I was horrified when Jenny screamed!" Sahut bi War with a very thick jaw log, still with a worried face.
I laughed at her expression
"Hahaaaaaaaa...." I laughed out loud, making bi War confused
"L-lho, how come you laugh, mbak?" Bi War said slightly grimacing.
I still laughed, then turned to him, then sat down
"Haha... That's... Haha... Bi... Ouch... Ahhaha..." I couldn't stop my laughter, making bi War look even more worried.
3 minutes later, until I could finally completely stop my laughter, I finally explained to him.
"Bi, I was talking to me again, not because of anything." Said explained.
Bi War muttered as if understanding, then stroked his chest
"aleah... Mercifully... Auntie thinks Jenny's why." Sahut bi War's
"No ko' bi..." Suddenly my phone rang, I grabbed my phone located on the nightstand next to my bed.
"Roberts"
"Byeah, bi... Anything else?" I asked aunt
"Mom, mbak... If so, I'll excuse you, ma'am." Said bi War, I nodded, then bi War passed.
After Bi War, I immediately answered Rob's call.
"Yo, Jen! Why did you answer my call for so long?" Said Rob across the street, in a resentful tone
"Sorry, Rob... I was busy, just now. What's up?" My leg's across here.
"Ah, fine! By the way, how's your grandma doing?"
"Thank God, my grandmother is starting to improve."
"Baaahh... Thank goodness I'm so happy to hear it."
"Thank you, Rob!"
"And yourself, what about you?"
Rob was always worried about me, I smiled here. To be honest, I'd love to tell Rob, about everything that's going on here, especially about my marriage, just, I don't think it's the right time...
"Jen, are you still there?" Rob broke my daydream
"Aahhhhhhhhhh... That's... That, Rob... L'm... "
"Did something happen to you?" Rob was a little suspicious across there. I was a little confused to answer Rob's question this time
"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Ummmmm... Sorry, Rob! I was filling out the hospital form, so, I'm sorry, I ignored you. Hehehehee..." I'm looking for a reason
"Baaahh... This woman! Okay, Jen! I'll call you back, later! Take care of yourself."
"Ah, okay, Rob... Thanksmeme it... You too, yeah! I miss you." Then close the call.
You know, a lot of things are raging in my brain right now, especially, about my meeting with uncle Min Chul and aunt Ji Hyo earlier...
As well, when Ji Hyo's aunt said, that Young Joon was transferred to Indonesia!
Yes tuhaannn!!! My heart is beating again!
Young Joon is their only child.
We were close friends when we went to the same school in China, plus, our apartment was not too far from where they lived, and made us meet almost every day, until I finally... My phone rang again, as I stared at the phone screen...
"Claras"
"What's wrong, Ra?" My broom is across here
"Jenols! To Gina's house, yukkss!" Clara's across there
"Ayolaahhh!!! Pickup, yes!" My love
"There's Josephine, Jenooolll!!!" Tight Clara across there. I suddenly woke up! Yep! I haven't said hello to Josephine since I arrived yesterday!
"O.T.W!!!" My words then closed the call, then prepared excitedly!
...****************...
I've brought 'Josephine' with me!
Josephine is my 17th birthday present from my grandmother.
I love him so much! Very! The first thing that made me love Josephine so much, of course because it was a grandmother's gift! The second thing that makes me really love this black sport bike is, Josephine always brings me to be a champion in the racing event that is usually held by Denis, my Junior High School friend every year, every time I go back to Indonesia!
To be honest, Josephine wasn't my first sports bike, I owned El Salvador, or I used to call El.
El was my class-raise gift from papa, because back then, I told papa I wanted to go to school on a motorcycle.
I had just joined Rob's alley, but it was just a spectator.
Papa gave me the condition to have El, he said, I must have a high value first, and I also accept it!
...****************...
I have reached the gate of Gina's house, my friend. There's a Clara car in there! It was visible from outside here, because the Gina family, did not use a gate that had privacy, so outsiders could freely see the state of the house that had a fairly spacious courtyard.
A guard, already recognized me, and immediately opened the gate, allowing me to enter.
"Thank you, sir!" My greeting was friendly, to the middle-aged man who invited me in earlier.
And when I turned off the 'Josephine' machine, Gina and Clara ran up to me from the house.
"Jennoooollllll!!!!!!!!" Gina excitedly greeted me, then hugged me, who had not even gotten off my motorcycle.
"Geez, Gin!!! I haven't taken off my helmet yet, you know! Ampuun!!! We can all, that's the 'Josephine'!" My words are trying to balance my body, so as not to fall
"Bodoamat!!! I miss you!!!" Gina seemed to not care.
Before long, Gina's mother, who was very familiar with me, came to us.
"Gina! Yes, it's a habit, huh!" Said Aunt Vemi, and Gina let go of her embrace, so that I could finally open my helmet, and immediately get off my motorcycle after putting my helmet on the handlebar of the motorcycle.
I went straight to Aunt Vemi, and Aunt Vemi hugged me
"How are you, Jen?" Ask Aunt Vemi, then outline her embrace
"Praise God, fine, tan! Aunt herself, how?"
"Well, just last night the aunt came home from Tarakan, join the om duty." Answer aunt Vemi.
"Wow, far away, auntie!" My legow
"Yes, what's up again, Jen! His name is also a country man." Answer the Police officer's wife.
"Yes, yeah." I said understand
"Well, auntie's going to the hospital first, yeah! Want to look at your grandmother, you guys on into the gih, there! " Aunty Vemi said, caressing my back, I nodded, and aunt Vemi then passed
...****************...
"Whaaaattt!!!!" Gina seemed to be in disbelief at what had just come out of Clara's mouth
"So, you know, Ra!" I don't really believe what Clara said.
Clara just nodded.
"Have you met, same nyokapnya?" Ask Clara.
I didn't answer right away, and just nodded afterwards.
"Young Joon said he had moved to Indonesia, you know! Btw, you already... "
"Not yet!" I immediately interrupted Clara's words, before Clara continued her words
"Jen, do you know, Clara wants to say what?" Say Gina with her signature lisp.
I turned to Clara.
"What do you want, Ra?" I asked Clara.
Clara looked at me in wonder.
"You know what, if Young Joon is now working in Jakarta?" Clara looked at me with a serious look.
I became a little misbehaved, I thought Clara would ask about whether I had met Young Joon! Ahahaa!!!
"Oowwh... That's... Haha... Uda... Uh..." My answer is wrong.
Gina and Clara looked at me in wonder.
"That'sodd.... What's the matter, huh?" Gina.
I just rubbed the back of my head with the tip of my finger.
Luckily, Gina's phone is ringing! Gina immediately grabbed her phone.
"Denis, here!" He said, then we approached Gina
"Oi, Nis! There's Jennifer, here!" Gina
"Lu mao said the same to him? Aw, ok!" Gina then reached out her phone to me.
"Denis mao is talking to you!" I grabbed Gina's phone.
"Cats, Den! How are you!!!" I screamed a little, smiling a little
"Ipeeell!!! Tumben lu hari gini already in Indonesia!" Denis's across there
"Yes, here... I'm sick, Den!" My heart is across here
"Oowwh... Yes, I also nengokin your grandmother ko' yesterday with Gina! How is he doing now? Sorry, yes... I haven't been able to look again, I'm really busy, I'm managing the event for tonight!" Denis felt guilty
"Oh my goodness, just relax, it's late tonight, what's the show?"My answer calmed him down
"Later tonight there was a match. Oh yea! Maybe, you'll be the guest of honor for the night, the event's name-ramein." Denis is a little hopeful. I thought for a moment
"Just the hell, Jen! You also need refreshing!" Clara, I looked at her
"Let's mummies really think of grandma same marriage you!" Continue Clara
"Woooyyy, Ipels! Even bengong lu! How's it? Can, right?" Denis made sure
"Eh, i-yes, Den! I'm doing it, yeah! I promise not, yes!" Answer me
"Okay, I'm waiting for news from you as soon as possible, yeah!"
"OK, thank's yeah, Den... Yea..." I then closed the call.
"Yes, Jen... It's nothing... Not every day." Gina seduced me. I'm a little bit of a dilemma
"What do you think now, Jen?" Clara.
I looked at Clara, a little confused as to what to answer, because there was too much I was thinking
"I thought about grandma?" Clara's question this time made me even more confused.
"Grandma's gonna be okay, Jen." Said Clara, but I was still worried
"Or don't you think about your marriage?" I slightly widened my eyes when Clara said these words
"Jen... I'll tell you, yeah... I know how Grandma is." Clara is embracing me.
"Lu know, Grandma loves you the most." Clara now looked me in the eye.
"Grandma can't possibly crush you! I'm 1000% sure, Jen!" Clara's eyes looked teary now
"Jen, marriage because of arranged marriage, maybe the effect is very conservative, yes... But right, grandma doesn't want you to follow what she wants... It all depends on you, because it's your life choice!"
Indeed, it is true what Clara said, I told him at the beginning of the story, that I am the favorite grandson of grandmothers, even Victor, Clara's older brother, that I am, the real one is the only grandson in our family, not as special as me in the eyes of grandma.
And what Clara said, that grandma didn't impose her will on me, that's also true...
I do, because it was all my decision, and I don't regret it!
It's just, I feel that this is indeed too fast... All very sudden!
But my heart seems ready. I don't know!
"Jen, just one night aja ko', there's no harm also you refresh your brain." Clara persuaded me back.
"Hmmmm?" Clara was reassured.
I thought for a moment, until the end... I smiled and nodded.
"Naaahhhh! It's donk!!!" Gina was excited
