Marrying the Depression Master
CH-66 The woman who was with her. Imelda

Ara further sharpened her hearing as the woman's voice started to sound again.

“Eskrim strawberry 1, I'm just greentea,” said the woman, at the waiter.

“You want to order more?” ask the woman.

“That's it, I don't even remember that I like to eat ice cream, my teeth ache when eating ice cream,” sounds younger women talk.

“What is that right? When you were a kid, you loved ice cream. Later you try the ice cream yes, you will definitely remember again,” said the woman.

“That's it,” the woman talked to the waiter. Then there were the footsteps of the servant's feet away.

Somehow the woman's voice caught his attention Ara, Jack and Mr. Beni, so they ate the ice cream without talking.

Doubtfully Ara turned towards the woman's voice, her heart immediately stopped beating when she saw it. That woman is Mrs. Imelda! Apparently Ms. Imela, Arum's mother, deserves to have heard his voice. His heart became suddenly lethargic because of the presence of Ny. Imelda.

That time, Ms. Imelda who made her ice cream meal with Jack failed, what now it will happen again? But... Who is that woman? The young woman who was with her. Imelda. His estimate of the woman will not differ much in age with him.

Likewise with Jack, he turned to look at Mrs.Imelda who was sitting together with a woman. She was so surprised she didn't expect to meet Arum's mother here. He is suddenly agitated considering the mistake he made did not take care of Arum well until Arum drowned brought by the ocean currents.

“Jack, let's finish the ice cream,” said Ara, her hand touching Jack's hand to get back to eating the ice cream.

Ara's heart felt uneasy because of the arrival of Ny. Imelda. Is Ms.Imelda going to scold Jack again if she finds out Jack is in the cafe too?

Jack went back to eating his ice cream with an increasingly restless heart. He remembered how angry Ms. Imelda for the tragedy of the sinking of Arum.

“Jack my ice cream is up, how about we go to the park?” ara asked, but Jack did not reply, Ara saw Jack's pale face.

Ara turned silent to see Jack turned moody, it seemed like Jack's mood was being bad today. The man went back down to eat his ice cream.

Mr. Beni who also saw the presence of Mrs. Imelda looked tense, she had to be vigilant if it turned out that Ms.Imelda was scolding her Master again.

“That's the ice cream is coming!” said Ms. Imelda turned to the waiter who brought her the eskirm and a drink.

But then suddenly he screamed in shock, making everyone turn their head towards them, including Ara, Jack and Pak Beni. Apparently Ms. Imelda nudged her drinking glass.

“Sorry Mistress!” said the waiter.

“It's okay, I wasn't careful earlier, I'll go to the toilet for a while,”. Imelda stood up and turned her body.

Suddenly his movements came to a halt when he saw a seated figure staring at him, the little friend man of his daughter.

His eyes were also fixed on Ara, the wife of the man. Nothing was said by Mrs. Imelda, she immediately rushed to the toilet.

Ara was astonished to see the departure of Ms, Imelda. Why doesn't Ms.Imelda scold Jack anymore? His eyes turned to the young lady sitting with Ny. Imelda.

The woman took her ice cream spoon and began to eat the ice cream slowly and impressed. Ara watched him then she turned to Jack and she was stunned as Jack was staring at the woman unblinkingly.

Jack's heart gasped as he looked at the woman who was looking down eating her ice cream slowly. The woman's face reminded him of someone. Who is that woman with Arum's mother? Is that Arum's sister?

Ara turned her head again at the woman who had not noticed their presence at all. Ara was silent to see Jack still staring at the woman.

“Jack, do you know him?” ask Ara, then.

Jack did not reply, he was agitated and cold sweat appeared.

“You sweat Jack, are you okay?” ara asked, while picking up the tissue and smudging Jack's forehead, making the man look at her.

“Are you okay?” asked Ara, clenching Jack's forehead over and over.

Jack looked into the woman's eyes, eyes similar to Arum's that led him to marry her. It would be unfair for Ara, if she married him just because of eyes similar to someone. Of course it was only the beginning, he loved that woman now.

“There's Ny. Imelda here, do you remember? She's Arum's mother,” said Ara.

Jack did not reply, the man's hand just touched Ara's cheek, making Ara surprised to see Jack's reaction like that. He immediately grabbed Jack's hand which touched his cheek and smiled.

“Are we going to leave here? How about we go to the city park?” ask Ara.

“Taman?” ask Jack.

“Iya, park,” replied Ara, nodding her head and turning to Mr. Beni.

Mr. Beni just stood up, he felt it was the right decision rather than his master to interact with Mrs. Imelda. But it's up to the master to look at Jack.

“Park,” says Jack.

Ara nodded again then stood up and pulled Jack's hand to stand up. Again their steps came to a halt when they heard footsteps approaching their table and the gazes met again.

Mrs. Imelda stopped her steps looking at Jack who was also staring at her. But like that, Ms.Imelda didn't say anything, she just went to her desk.

Jack just looked at his mother Arum was back sitting with a woman who was still down eating her strawberry ice cream little by little.

Ara pulled Jack's hand out of the room. There's so much Jack wants to say to you. Imelda, but she remembered that people still thought she was depressed, she finally did not dare to say anything, her legs stepped following Ara's feet.

“Mother, I told you I don't like eskrim, my teeth are sore.”

The woman who ate the ice cream spoke.

Ara and Jack also Beni Sir walked towards the exit, their steps halted when they heard Mrs.Imelda speak.

“Dear Arum, it looks like you have to go to Doter Gigi, first you really like strawberry ice cream,” said Mrs. Imelda.

A sense of surprise enveloped the hearts of the three people, especially Jack! Did he not hear wrong? Mrs. Did Imelda call the woman who ate the ice cream Arum?

Ara also did not expect that Ms. Imelda will call the woman's name Arum. Ara grew even more shocked when she felt Jack's hand come off of her and when she turned her head, the man had already gone to her desk. Imelda.

Mrs. Imelda was also the woman was very surprised, Jack suddenly approached their table. Jack looked at her. Imelda then went to the woman called Arum.

“Jack!” call Ara directly to Jack and hold his hand.

Jack really could not delay to confirm the name called Ms. Imelda. Why did Arum's mother call him Arum? Is that Arum his little friend?

“Dia, who?” asked the woman called Arum, turned to Mrs.Imelda and then to Jack.

Jack looked at Arum and the woman instead.

“He's a nobody, he's just a depressed guy who likes to interrupt. Let's go!” bring Ny.Imelda.

Mrs. Imelda keeps the money on the table and stands up and pulls Arum's hand away from the table. Arum looked clueless, he followed in her footsteps. Imelda left the room, glanced at Jack and followed Ny.Imelda out of the cafe.

Jack was just speechless seeing their departure, he wanted to stop it but couldn't. He wanted to ask if that woman was Arum?

“Jack, are you here because you heard Arum's name? Maybe we heard wrong or maybe his name is not Arum, his name is Arumi, his sister Arum or his brother. You remember no, when I met Mrs.Imelda first, she was angry with you for losing her daughter, which means Arum has not been around since. Looks like you misheard that woman is not Arum,” said Ara, then hugged Jack's hand. Why would he be worried if it turns out that woman was Arum?

“We'd better go home, it looks like you need a break,” said Ara.

“Go home,” says Jack.

“Yes we go home to my house,” Ara said again

“Rome,” said Jack again, making Ara look at him.

“You want to go home?” ask Ara.

“Go home!” jack said over and over again.

Jack felt he had to go home, he wondered what Mr. Beni said about his mother who would bring him to Arum. Was Arum with Imelda?

Ara turned to Beni.

“Pak Beni, Jack wants to go home,” said Ara.

“Good Mistress, we go home,” said Mr. Beni, Arapun nodded.

Ara hugged Jack's hand to take him out of the cafe with her mind confused over the incident.

Who exactly is the woman that Ms. Imelda called Arum? If it was Arum, would Jack recognize him? Why is his heart so misgivings? Ara's heart was agitated by the appearance of Arum's problem. Will Arum's presence change Jack's fate?
