Love, Life, and Jennifer

Love, Life, and Jennifer
Let Me Free!


I'm still thinking about what happened this afternoon...


Disappointment of both my parents, as well as Young Joon's parents...


And my mom who knew something was wrong with my marriage, and... Young Joon is insisting on a referral!


I looked up at the sky of Jakarta through my bedroom window, then looked down at it...


Isn't this beautiful?


I'm rethinking my life before this fucking wedding!


Gathering with friends... Riding a motorcycle...


Vacation to a beautiful place...


And...


I shed tears when I remember that! I shouldn't have gotten married at such a young age!


I thought, I will still have some fun after achieving my master's degree, in fact... Uh!


I remember something!


My phone that Young Joon gave me back then! Isn't there a lot of phone numbers of my Indonesian friends?


I rushed to find her in a suitcase I hadn't touched since we arrived at this apartment.


Got it!


I'll turn on this phone immediately! The battery is full! Maybe Young Joon filled it before giving it to me.


After the phone turned on, I immediately pressed the contact icon, and searched for the name of an Indonesian friend, who might be able to invite me to have fun tonight.


Clara!


I decided to call Clara! Wrap on!


"Ra, where are you?" My broom is across here


"Woooyyy!!! Where have you been! I'm at Gina's house again! Ajep-ajep, nyari who's really fast!" Clara answered across the street and sounded very cheerful


"Gw go dooonkkk!!! Get me, yes!" I'm really excited


"Aaahh, you crazy! The game in America!" Clara laughed across the street


"Gw in Kemang, woooyyy!!!" My answer is smiling


"Ah, that's really you!" Clara sounded incredulous across there


"Liehee!!! Want a video call?" I challenged him


"Udah... Gk try! I believe it, ko'!" Said Clara across there


"Get me in the apartment, yeah!" I said excited


"Wookeeehhh! I'll wait in the parking lot, yeah!" Said Clara


"Okay nilaaap." Answer me


"Yaudah, I'm afraid!" Clara said it was still across there


"Okay, I'm ready, you know... Huh...!"


I hung up on our phone, then got ready to go with Clara.


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


I have been wearing a black sleeveless dress that is a little tight, and quite mini.


I also brushed my lips with a red lipstick, wiped my cheeks with a blush, eyes with eyeshadow, then wiped my face with powder!


Don't forget the mascara and eyeliner! Don't forget I put earrings in my ears. Perfect!


I let the long hair of my shoulder, run down.


I'm ready now!


Before leaving, I forgot to spray perfume on my body.


'Tok... Geck... Heck...!'


"Jenny, are you hungry?" Young Joon said, behind my door.


I did not answer Young Joon's call, and immediately grabbed the cream-colored blazer that I had prepared on the bed, then opened the door.


Young Joon was flabbergasted to see my appearance.


"W-Where are you going?" Young Joon didn't blink at all looking at me.


"Do I have to ask you for permission?" My words then passed, and put on a blazer.


Young Joon came up to me when I was about to open the door to get out.


"What if I drive you?" Young Joon looked at my face, then I turned to him.


"Clara's been this way to get me." I opened the door and passed.


"Your clothes are too flashy." Young Joon said behind my back.


I stopped my steps and turned towards him.


"Am I asking for your opinion?" My leg then turned around.


"Remember the fact that there is no relationship between us anymore! So, stop caring about me." My words then passed leaving Young Joon with annoyed steps!


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


They were really surprised to hear my confession.


"It's usual why! Gosah this selebay too!" My protest


"Ko' can?! Aunt Inne, does Joseph know?" Clara drives while occasionally looking at me still in disbelief.


"Gw has not dared to talk to them, so, please... Don't leak, yes!" I said in a slightly pleading tone


"But Jen, you still live with your man, I mean, your ex-boy?" Gina looked at my face from the back seat.


"No already! Only yes, while in Indonesia, yes yes!" Answer me


"Trus, you still do, gk?" Gina, with her characteristic slackness asked innocently


"Gina, you're nothing at all! Your question is not weighty at all know gk!" Clara grumbles at Gina, staring intently at Gina's face through the rearview mirror inside the car


"Yeeee... I'm just nanya... Klu Jenny won't answer either, gapapa!" Gina defended herself.


I was pensive to hear Gina's question.


"Young Joon is still in indo?" Clara turned to look at me, and I nodded


"Oowwhh..." Before Gina finished her words, Clara suddenly interrupted


"Horeeeee!!! We arrived!!!" Clara turned off the car engine, staring at Gina's face.


I turned towards Gina, her face looking nervous


"So why?" I asked Gina curiously


"Gw make a pact to meet a guy from a dating app here yesterday! Let's go down, who knows if we're waiting!" Clara immediately removed her seatbelt.


"Ah, ok ayok laahh..." Followed by me, then Gina.


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


The nightclub wasn't too crowded, nor was it too quiet.


Electro music welcomes our presence.


"GW GO STRAIGHT DOWN, YEAH!" Clara raised her voice, because the music was too noisy, then I nodded


"GW TOO, YEAH!" Gina chimed.


They immediately ran towards the dance floor, and I? I sat down at the bartender's table.


The bartender came to me immediately


"Cocktails!" I said with a smile.


The bartender thumbs up to me.


I don't want to get too drunk right now, which is important, I can forget about my sadness for a moment.


I turned the chair towards the dance floor, I could see Clara and Gina were so excited from here.


I smiled at their behavior, were they not really happy, seemed like they had no problems.


Different from me!


I turned back moody, and smiled bitterly, then turned back to turn the chair facing the shelf that contained many types of alcoholic beverages.


The bartender came, and brought me my order.


I didn't take a sip, I held the glass, then I looked inside, and smiled bitterly again.


Someone suddenly sat next to me, then greeted me.


"Hi!" Her greeting was friendly, I turned to her, and nodded.


Looking at this man at a glance, I guess, he is probably from east Asia.


It was visible from the color of his skin, as well as the look of his face.


"It's okay if I sit here?" The man smiled kindly.


One word for him, handsome!


"Sit down! It's a public place." I answered, then looked back at the drink I had not yet sipped


"Red wine, as always!" Said to the bartender.


It seems like he's been here a lot, it's seen from the way he talks to the bartender, and the bartender who seems familiar with him.


"I thought you were coming with someone, or maybe you were waiting for someone." The man looked at me, I looked at him


"Yes, I came with my friends, but they were so excited downstairs." I smiled at him.


He returned my smile


"You're not down?" Ask, I shake


"I just want a drink." I held up my drink, then sipped it.


She smiled while looking at me


"What's your name?" He suddenly asked.


I was a little surprised, then looked towards him.


"Thank you." He said to the bartender who brought his order, and looked back at me


"Jennifer." He answered, he extended his hand


"Aoyama." Answer's warm.
