Happy reading.........
The clock had already shown at 08:00 p.m., and Shiena was currently getting ready to head home from her restaurant. He picked up the phone on the table and was about to order a taxi online, but the door to the room was open and it turned out to be Gavin.
"Well, you haven't come home yet?" Shiena asked as she watched Gavin enter her room.
"I came here to pick you up."
Hearing that Shi smiled, then he took his bag and they came out of the restaurant. "Have you had dinner yet?" Ask Gavin when he's in the car.
"Not yet, you'll be home" Shiena replied as she put her seatbelt on. Gavin nodded then ran his car out of the restaurant.
Actually Shiena was still awkward with the closeness she was now with Gavin. Although they used to be close, but because of the problems of that time, especially because of the one night incident between him and Gavin, making awkwardness in Shiena's heart.
There was only silence between them, accompanied by the music Gavin set in the car. Both still feel awkward.
"Shi..." Call Gavin. Shi turned towards Gavin. "Why?" Ask Shiena.
"Can I ask you something?" Shiena nodded her head. "Of course!" Answer Shiena.
"Why did you lie about your departure to LA? Then why don't you want me to be responsible? Can love be built when we are married?" Gavin asked as he turned towards Shi.
Hearing Gavin's question, Shiena simply smiled, then she stared straight ahead.
"I deliberately faked my departure to LA, because I didn't want you to know about my whereabouts. And I want to forget you and what happened that night. And why I don't want to marry you, because I don't want to if the house I built later is without love. I know that love will grow by itself over time, and also together. But if our hearts still can't love him, how? Will not our partner hurt? There will be a wounded heart. Especially if you, or I love someone else, surely we will both be hurt? That's why I'm balking at our matchmaking! I don't want to marry without love, because to me it's very important" Shiena replied at length.
Gavin fell silent at Shiena's explanation, realizing that Shiena had completely changed. No longer a spoiled and whiny woman. But now Shiena was an independent woman, a mature and considerate woman.
Arriving home, Shi got off Gavin's car. After that Gavin drove Shiena to the front door. "Sleep, it's night. Then I'll go home first!" Gavin told Shi.
"Thank you, yeah! You be careful on the road, if that's how I go in first!" Shiena opened the door and entered the house, as well as Gavin, he got back into the car.
"Shi...," Call Juwi when Shiena will enter the room.
"Yes Mi, what's wrong?" Shiena asked as she turned towards the Mami.
"Why are you with Gavin? Are you and Gavin better?" Juwi frowned with a narrowed look towards Shiena.
"Oh that..... Yes Mi, me and Gavin have agreed. We will try to open our hearts first for 2 months. After that, if we love each other, we will get married. But if we don't love each other, then we'll never be together" Shiena replied.
Juwi was speechless at her daughter's remark, she looked at Shiena with such a deep gaze. She realized that Shiena was now an adult and could already determine her own life path. Juwi gently rubbed Shi's face. "Mommy believes in you! Mami leave all her decisions to you! Now that you're an adult, you can decide something good for your life" Juwi said, hugging Shiena's body.
After that Shiena went into the room to clean up, and she was going down to dinner.
-------------------
In the morning Shiena and her parents were at the dinner table for breakfast, and Jojo continued to look at Shiena with astonished looks. But it also implied a gaze that exuded disappointment to Shi.
"Shiena, is it true that you and Gavin have agreed to open their hearts?" Ask Jojo to the point.
"Yes Pi, Shiena thinks Shiena and Gavin's problem should be a bright spot. And we are both adults, we have to decide our way of life. Although it may feel heavy, we do not want to involve our parents. Because this is our problem." Shiena knew that from her Papi's tone there was a sense of disappointment, but Shiena had already promised herself to resolve her problems with Gavin, without parental intervention.
"Papi doesn't agree! But if that is your decision, Papi will be supportive. But remember, if he dares to mess with you, just look! Papi's gonna chop him up."
Shiena and Juwi chuckle at Jojo's words, then the three of them embrace. Then Juwi and Shiena kissed Jojo on the cheek. "Thank you Pi! Papi is indeed the best, "Praise Shiena while kissing Jojo's cheek again.
"The fire will do anything for your happiness, and so will Mami. Because to Papi, you're the diamonds in Papi's life."
