Love, Life, and Jennifer
New Colours!

Today is Matthew's last day in Kansas, tomorrow he's going back to Syria.

The three of us were planning to fish on the lake that Clarence and I used to visit. Clarence and Matthew's relationship has started to improve this time!

"You will lose again this time, spoiled child!" Matthew taunted Clarence

"We'll see! I'm a very expert now!" Clarence smiled mocking Matthew.

As it turned out, the cause of Clarence's dislike for Matthew was because of something like this! Clarence lost to Matthew last year, and had to pay the $1000 they made a bet on!

Seeing their behavior, it really made me forget for a moment about Young Joon!

We laughed happily, even occasionally arguing! Clarence laughed so hard, I've never seen him this happy before

***********************

"I told you! I'm already very skilled this time!" Ejek Clarence to Matthew

"Aaahhh, you're just being lucky this time!" Ketus Matthews

"Don't forget to transfer $5000 to my account!" Clarence looked very satisfied this time

"Heeeyy, don't forget, too, jury commission!" My protest

"Aaaahhhh... This Asian girl, how materialist!" Upset Matthew, greeted by our happy laughter.

Clarence was finally able to avenge his defeat last year from Matthew. He looked very satisfied, and kept mocking Matthew all the way to my aunt's house.

The next day, the aunt really felt sad, because today was the day of Matthew's departure

"Let me know, if you get there, son." Auntie sobbed saying that

"Mom, I promise, will return safely and remain handsome."  Matthew comforted, and aunt patted his chest

"Bi, there are still more handsome men here." Clarence teases his aunt

"What do you mean! I'm more handsome than you!" Matthew did not accept

"Heeey... Don't forget, there's a pretty girl here!" My heart, and they all laughed

"All right, ma'am, I'll go first, yeah..." Matthew says.

Matthew hugged his mother, then approached Clarence.

"Breathe well! And don't ever try to rival my good looks!" Matthew teases Clarence, then hugs him

"You too, take good care of yourself, and don't forget about $5000!" Clarence Sahut.

Clarence's words made me laugh, auntie's astonished, and Matthew upset.

"Aaahhh, you're this! Even when I'm gone, you can still be like this!" Ketus Matthew with an annoyed face.

Clarence and I laughed, and Matthew walked up to me.

"May you get a better replacement! If only you would accept my situation..."

"What do you mean! Quickly go! Your car is waiting for you! They're tired of seeing your drama here!" Clarence immediately interrupted Matthew's words.

Clarence then pushed Matthew's body towards the minibus in front of him, me and aunt laughed at their behavior

"Heeeyy, I'm not done talking! Elle, tell me your social media account and phone number through mom, yeah!" Matthew waved at us, with Clarence still pushing his body towards the minibus

"Are they not adorable?" Auntie.

Aunty looks very happy to see the behavior of the child and his nephew, I looked at the aunt, then looked back at them

"Yes, seeing them like that, makes me forget all my sadness for a moment." I smiled as I looked ahead

"Do you feel sad while you're here?" Auntie investigated, I quickly regained my senses

"Ah, that... Oh... Bu-it's nothing, bi! I just miss my parents, that's all." I quibbled, then aunt embraced me

*******************

We had very happy days. I called my mom and dad that I was going home in 3 days.

"You're going home with Young Joon, son?" Ask your mom across there

"Young Joon is busy right now, ma... He actually wants to, but I feel sorry for him." I lied to my mom a little

"Ooohhh, that. Yes, let me know if you have arrived at the airport, yes!" Mama sounded across there

"Whether you don't bother to pick me up, I'd like to stop by Gina's house for a bit." I'm looking for an excuse

"What do you want to do?" Look at my mom across there

"I'm going to grab my stuff that's out of time. It's from Young Joon, if he knows, he'll get mad, ma." I went back to looking for an excuse

"Ooohhhh, yaudah." Mama sounds understood

"Yaudah, yes, ma! I'm gonna take care of this first!"

"Okay, take good care of yourself, son! I love you!"

"I love you too, ma!" I said then disconnected the phone.

Later that night, I reopened my social media.

There's a message in the inbox there.

I immediately pressed the inbox icon, and... Yup! Arjuna

Arjuna: jen, what else are you?

Jenny Lie: again prepare. 3 days I'm back in indo.

Arjuna : ohya! Wow, that's gasabar!

Jenny Lie: hope we can meet, yes!

Jenny Lie : kansas.

Arjuna: oh, who are you to indo?

Jenny Lie, who else? I'm a widow now, hahahaha!

Arjuna : hahaha... Btw Jen, you still have a taste gk anyway, same ex you?

I was silent at Arjuna's last message. However, there was nothing I had to hide from him!

Jenny Lie: still! It's still the same as before.

Arjuna: klu is still in love, why are you divorced?

Jenny Lie: I'm going to be sick again, Jun! I gave him 2x the chance! The 3rd mace! The principle actually.

Arjuna: the 2nd, fatal bgt, huh?

Jenny Lie: that's great!

Arjuna: why?

Jenny Lie: it's hard to talk about it via chat, Joon!

Arjuna: yes slow down!

Jenny Lie - later, I have more time!

Arjuna: ah, okay!

Jenny Lie: it's a long time, yes! I'm fucking heavy, neh! Mo sleeping beauty first.

Arjuna: ah, okay, bye!

Jenny Lie - bye!

I immediately pressed the exit button, then pulled the blanket, then went to sleep.

"Why did this have to happen to me?" Aunt Margaret was crying

"Bi, I promise, I'll definitely be back." I comfort Aunt Margaret

"Why do you have so much heart for me?" Auntie is back to whining

"Bi, I promise." I calmed him back down

"Why should I..."

"Bi, I'll stay here to keep you company." Clarence suddenly interrupted, and then Margaret's aunt and I turned to Clarence

"really?" Aunt made sure

"Yes, I'll keep you company, until your handsome son comes home!" Clarence reassured his aunt, I smiled happily at him

************************

"I'll call you as soon as I get to Indonesia." I said before I left, to Clarence

"Yeahhhhhhhhhh... Take good care of yourself... Keep breathing." Clarence's face was sad

"Surely! You too, yeah!" I said, then hugged her tightly.

"Thank you for all..." I said then I shed tears

"I'm gonna miss you so much..." Clarence rang out softly, then let go of my embrace

"Call me if..."

"I'll keep calling you... Don't worry about me too much... I love you so much, little brother!" I interrupted her words, then rubbed Clarence's hair, then left.

"Bye... I will miss you so much..."  I waved and smiled, and Clarence replied

*********************

I was already on the plane.

The seat next to me was empty, and the plane was about to take off.

As I pulled out my phone and earphones from my small bag, suddenly someone sat on an empty bench next to me.

I immediately looked at him, about to say hello, and...

I was really surprised to see the figure next to me now.

I even gulped when I looked at him, and immediately looked at my phone screen, to hide my nervousness.

I put earphones on my phone, and also my ears, after which I pressed the music icon, and searched for my favorite song.

Ah, meet!

'In the Arm of An Angel - Sarah Mclachlen'

"You still hear that song a lot?" The man said without looking at me.

I didn't answer it right away, and chose to press the play button, then answer the question.

"Hmmmmm..." I closed up afterwards.

🎼In the Arm of an Angel...
