Married Three Breeding Widow
Stop or Go
Juwita doesn't know how far Adji knows. He can't know how much he knows. But ... at least it has not reached Abhimanyu yesterday, right? Because he was still staring at Juwita as usual.
Even though Juwita thinks that's not good news either.
Finished with the clothes and other affairs, Adji brought them to eat at the restaurant where he and Juwita often dated on 'child-free' days once a month. During the journey, Juwita could not stop fidgeting.
It was probably too obvious until Mama said, "Where do we split up? You're the same Juwita pesen elsewhere, let the kids be with Mama."
No. gabe. Juwita doesn't want to be alone with Adji right now when his mind is in turmoil. But Adji accepts the offer without burden, going on a goodbye with his children.
They get into a more intimate VIP spot, treated to Adji's favorite ribs steak.
"Want me a bribe, honey?" Adji asked because Juwita did not hold the tableware. "What's up, Baby? You've been cuddled from before."
Should Jenny ask? But if that was just her guess, it was the same Juwita said something too disgusting to hear. Especially by a father.
Juwita's eyes suddenly hot and teary.
"I want to confide," he said afterwards. "But just. You ... don't have to say anything."
Adji put down his cutlery for a moment. "Sure, Baby. Tell me everything."
Juwita's hand stretched out, grabbing Adji's hand to grasp. Repeatedly inhaling and exhaling before speaking.
"Sometimes, I don't think we should be together."
Adji gently squeezed Juwita's hand in response but as Juwita said, she silently listened, not speaking.
"It's not because I feel less, Mom. Not at all. I mean, I guess .. the things that come between us seem to say we're not afraid to do together."
It sounds like they were dating because Juwita happened to save Cetta, and his wife Adji asked Adji to marry Juwita to replace her, and it just so happened that Adji was a relative of Juwita as well.
Sounds like a soul mate.
But Juwita does not forget the rejection of Adji's children. As they, especially Abhimanyu and Banyu vent their frustration and sadness on Juwita. Of course, after that they accepted it.
Juwita should never have met them, all of them.
"Obviously, I also don't forget that I'm super duper happy with you." Juwita carries Adji's hand to her lips, kissing the hand that has held her in every moment of Juwita's despair, also happy. "I'm .. I just want to say I'm tired. Overthinking is just as much. It's probably gonna be weird so ...."
"Hey, it's okay." Adji moved, pulling his chair to shift to the side of Juwita.
Gently the man led Juwita in his arms, again gently rubbing her back as if she wanted Juwita to feel she was the dearest woman in the world.
"Mas doesn't want to talk a lot continue to make you badmood but, as unwilling as Mas want to say this." Adji held Juwita's chin, peeling her lips very long. "Falling in love with you makes all the nonsense in Mas's life so not important at all."
Juwita closed in when Adji kissed her palm.
"Sampe this second Mas never, ever, a little bit, mengikilih you."
Juwita smiles. And to be honest he always smiles every time Adji says that because he knows Juwita likes him.
"me too. I've never felt comfortable even if I thought about kayaking a lot. Maybe I'll choose you forever, man."
"That's better." Adji smiled kissed her chin and looked sweetly at Juwita. "Mas won't let go of your hand."
Looks like Juwita doesn't need to talk about Abhimanyu. I don't know what Adji knows, his attitude now suggests he chose the two of them to stay together.
"Mas."
"Hm?"
"I think I need you at home. Make temporary help."
Juwita always refused because she wanted to focus, as a whole, on being present as the only 'helper' in her children's lives. But Juwita felt now he would not focus until he really made sure Abhimanyu stopped.
Or gone.
