Love, Life, and Jennifer

Love, Life, and Jennifer
Shaking My Faith!


I also welcomed his hand.


If he heard his name, it seemed like he was from Japan.


But if you hear his accent when you speak, he doesn't sound like a Japanese.


"I've been here two weeks, and this may be my last night in Indonesia. It's so nice to meet a pretty girl like you before you get back." He said with a smile.


I laughed at his words.


"If I say, I'm interested in getting to know you more, would you be willing to give me your mobile number, or perhaps, your social media account?" Aoyama hesitated to say that.


I was once principled, the man you met in a 'dark' place, was not a man who could know you any further!


But it seems like that principle has changed at this time!


Don't know why? Is it because of Aoyama's charm that I think she is more macho than Young Joon?


In the end, I gave my social media account to Aoyama, I thought, if she was 'fun' enough, then I would give her my mobile number.


As we were having a warm conversation, suddenly Gina and Clara came.


"Jen, you gk tu..." Clara turned her head towards Aoyama, then elbowed my waist


"Anjirrr!!! Your pantesan won't come down!" Whisper Clara.


I smiled seeing his behavior.


"For god's sake, Jen! What a handsome!!!" Gina hysterically once whispered to me, I laughed at the behavior of my two best friends


"Aoyama, this is my cousin Clara, and this is my best friend, Gina." I introduced them.


Aoyama reaches out her hand, Clara and Gina scramble to welcome Aoyama's hand


"Claras..." Clara blushed in embarrassment, staring at Aoyama's face.


Gina immediately grabbed Aoyama's hand, impatiently waiting for Clara who did not also take off Aoyama's hand.


Clara looked really upset! Ahaha!


"She..." Gina looked blushed looking at Aoyama.


Aoyama immediately pulled out her hand.


The two of them looked at Aoyama's face, smiling.


That made Aoyama a little bit angry


"Have you guys ordered any drinks?" Aoyama said to them, to eliminate the 'evil eye' of these two girls who are actually quite attractive.


They look excited! And answer simultaneously.


"Not yet!" They said at the same time, looking at the seats around us, but nothing was empty.


Their faces were immediately gloomy, and I took the initiative...


"Yaudah, you're the one sitting there, I'm going down first." I said then get off the chair.


Clara and Gina seemed to be scrambling to sit on the chair I had just left, to accidentally nudge my body until I almost fell!


It's lucky! Aoyama swiftly caught my body!


Clara and Gina looked at me, feeling guilty


"You okay?" Aoyama looked at my worried face, holding my body. I immediately straightened my body, then released it from Aoyama.


"I'm fine, thank you, yeah..." I said


"You can sit here. I'm going there." Aoyama offered her seat to no one, pointing to the dance floor.


I was a little surprised, while Gina and Clara looked annoyed!


"Crazy widow! Use what science he is, until he can get a cool guy!" Gerricks Gina.


I can faintly hear Gina grumbling, and smiling to hear her! Ahahaa!


"Udahlah! There's plenty of stock!" Clara said, looking around, and Gina smiled.


I walked towards the dance floor, as did Aoyama.


The energetic music that was heard earlier, now changed to a slower music.


Aoyama and I face each other now, Aoyama extends her hand to me, and I smile.


"I can't dance." I said blushing


"Try it! You just have to follow the rhythm." Aoyama said with a smile.


I still smiled, and did not respond to Aoyama's hand, until...


Aoyama pulled my hip, and spontaneously, I held my hand around her neck.


Our faces are facing each other now, I can see clearly, Aoyama's smile is so sweet, looking at my stiffened face!


"Just relax, follow the rhythm." Aoyama whispered a word in my ear, carrying my body, to the beat of music.


My heart is beating so fast!


I've experienced this with Young Joon..


Yeah, ever!


First, at my wedding, and second, when we attended Young Joon's friend's birthday party.


Young Joon also said the same thing as Aoyama, the way he spoke, the same!


It made me look him in the face to see if he was Young Joon in disguise, or if he was someone else!


Aoyama looked at my face, which was staring at her.


He brought his face closer, but I turned my face the other way, then stopped my movements, and took off my arms around his neck.


"I'm going to the restroom." My words then passed leaving her to head to the restroom.


I immediately opened the sink faucet, and washed my face.


I can clearly see a picture of myself that looks so embarrassing in front of the mirror!


Do I look so cheap that people can easily kiss me?!


I thought back to Young Joon's words, before I left


"Your clothes are too flashy."


Yes tuhaannn...


Maybe this is what YoungJoon said! And then I realized one thing!


I hit my forehead, remembering, I gave my social media account to Aoyama!


I'm beating myself up now!


What I just did!


I quickly walked out of the restroom, towards the table where Gina and Clara were.


While not far from the dance floor, suddenly my steps stopped, because Aoyama blocked me.


"I'm sorry... I didn't intend to..."


"It's okay... I understand why you did that... Don't I look..."


"You misunderstood." Aoyama looked me in the face, and so did I


"Let's meet again after this..." I don't understand what Aoyama means


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


Me and Aoyama are sitting opposite now. A waiter delivered our order.


Gina and Clara?


They finally got a dance partner, it was noticeable when I saw them dancing excitedly on the dance floor!


Yep!


They are always excited!


They even forgot about my existence!


"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that to you." Aoyama seemed to feel guilty. I smiled


"It's a natural thing, when a man sees a woman wearing minimal clothes, they must think..."


"I don't think about anything bad about you." Aoyama interrupted my words.


I looked at her face, which was now looking at me.


"Someone said to me, that my clothes were too conspicuous." I said


"It's not about clothes. It was about how the attitude of the person wearing those clothes was." He said with a smile.


Wooow, I was really amazed to hear Aoyama's words just now!


"I'm sorry I tested you earlier." Aoyama smiled bitterly


"I'm sorry?" I confirmed Aoyama's words just now


"I made sure of myself, whether I'll keep calling you after this, or..."


"Eh?" I interrupted Aoyama's words


"Allow me to know you more." Aoyama looked at me inside.


I was confused as to what to say when I heard Aoyama say that. Till...


"By the way, what are you doing in Indonesia?" I broke our awkwardness


"eehmmm... That's... Regarding work, and I have an appointment to meet my college friend here, he says, the house is not far from here." He said, then grabbed the bottle that the waiter had brought, and poured it into the glass, and gestured, whether I wanted to or not, and I nodded.


We grabbed our glasses, and toasted, then sipped them.


"Have you met him?" I said


"It's been... Here, yesterday..." He then put the glass down.


"She was accompanying her girl, so our meeting was short once, after all, she'll be back in a few days to America." Aoyama.


I smile.


For some reason, there was a slight sense of relief when hearing Aoyama say 'she accompanied her girl' at least, it was not a woman. Oye! What's wrong with me!


"What's wrong? Why are you pensive?" Aoyama seemed to be aware of my attitude.


"Baaahh... No. gabe... Uuummm... By the way, regarding the words of you who want to know me further, is..."


"I'm a single man! Is it wrong for a single man to want to know a girl?" Aoyama looked protesting.


"Hey, don't-don't..."


"I just got divorced a few months ago." I said with a smile.


Aoyama was surprised to hear my confession.


"Don't that make you think of backing out of your plan?" I'm ascertaining.


Aoyama is smiling happily! I don't know! Shouldn't he be looking for an excuse to leave me now? Remembering my status now? But he seemed to get more excited


"Have you started opening your heart yet?" His eyes sparkled once


"Eh?" I was surprised by this guy


"I mean, I hope you're not traumatized by your failure." Aoyama looks wrong


"I have opened my heart for a long time. However, I have to be more selective this time, so as not to feel sick a second time." My voice is a little vibrating


"alright... I'll try as hard as I can!" Her speech.


We laughed after hearing Aoyama say that.


"And you, when are you coming back?" I said


"Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow... Let's see it later! I'll call you later. Hopefully, we can meet before I get back." Say it again


Aoyama poured wine back into each of our glasses, then we toast, then sipped wine together


"Then you, do you live here?" Aoyama put a glass on the table.


"For now, yes! I just got my master's degree last year in America, and I'm probably gonna find a job in Germany." I said


"Where?" Aoyama made sure


"In Germany, what's up?" Aoyama developed her smile, she looked extremely excited


"It seems like we are meant to be together!" Aoyama looks very happy


"You mean?" I was surprised to see his attitude.


"I work for a company in Germany. And I'm going back to Germany!" He said excitedly.


I was shocked to hear Aoyama's confession.


"I'll send my company profile through the mailbox on your social media, and if you're interested, you can send your CV through the email address listed there." Aoyama seemed excited to say this, and I smiled.


"All right!" My solute.


We chatted, and we finished bottles of drink, causing me to get drunk!


Oye!


Didn't I say that I didn't want to get too drunk?


Stupid fuck!


This man has really shaken my faith!
