Maybe I Love You
35. Grannies...

At 6 am Aunt Mija was giving her groceries in the kitchen, she had just come from the market, suddenly Aunt Mija heard the main door of the house closed.

“who comes this early in the morning? Madam usually not awake.” While glancing at the clock, he went to look.

After arriving in the living room, “Sena?!”

“Aibi!” the two walked over, Aunt Mija finally hugged Sena and vice versa,

“I miss you so much, you're okay right?”

“I'm fine,” Sena turns in front of Aunt Mija, making the 50-year-old smile happily because Sena is fine.

“Aibi herself?”

“Your grandmother treated me well, how could I not be good.”

Sena smiled happily, “oh yes, how is Grandma doing?” Sena followed Aunt Mija back to the kitchen

“it looks like his blood pressure is rising again, almost every day always complain of dizziness.”

Sena helped Aunt Mija, “what hasn't been checked? Grandma didn't call the doctor?”

“Your grandmother said that it will heal in a few days, it looks like your Grandmother wants to go see your Grandpa because she is sick also in London.”

“hmm, if Grandma is sick how can I go to see Grandpa? I'll take her to the doctor today.”

“I didn't expect you'd come so early? what about your husband?”

“ada Aunt Hanmi at home.” Sena said while looking down, Aunt Mija was aware of the change in Sena's facial expression, but Aunt Mija chose to be quiet and did not want to ask anything.

“you want breakfast what Sena?”

“it's up to Aunty, but I've bought Grandma's favorite breakfast.” Sena showed her the groceries to Aunt Mija.

Slowly Sena opened the door of her Grandma's room, she saw her Grandma still asleep. Suddenly he wanted to cry after staring at his Grandma's face, but Sena held him back, he chose to go to the bed and lie down. His mind drifted away, past, present, even future, how he would be, how his destiny was, all popping up inside his head.

Nam's grandmother finally woke up, she held the hand that was now hugging her, “ireonaseoyo, Halmeoni?”

finally Grandma Nam saw the face of her favorite grandson, Grandma Nam then woke up, “Sena?”

“I go home Grandma!”

Nam's grandmother hit Sena's arm instead, “argh! Grandma why hit me?”

“'i'm coming Grandma.' You should have said that!”

Sena even pouted, Grandma Nam approached Sena then hugged her, “cucuku this, seems to have remembered with her Grandma again.”

“what is Grandma talking about? I always remember Grandma.” Sena finally hugged Grandma Nam.

“well, Grandma sa~ngat miss you.” The tighter Grandma Nam's embrace, the tighter the embrace of Sena he couldn't stem his sadness as Grandma Nam stroked her back lovingly,

“Because of you, you..why are you crying baby?” Nam's grandmother wanted to take off her arms but Sena wouldn't let her,

“no, I just miss it with Grandma's hug. It's been a long time since I've hugged Grandma this warm and calm.”

Nam's grandmother is still worried, “are you really okay? don't lie! Don't hide anything from Grandma.”

Sena shook her head, “no, I'm not hiding anything. Anyway whatever I'm hiding Grandma will also know, sooner or later.”

Nam's grandmother rubbed Sena's back again, “you, don't cry anymore. Grandma will always give you this warm and comfortable hug, just for you.”

“how about Grandpa?”

“Your grandfather?! She was satisfied, just calm down.” their embrace came off, Grandma Nam wiped the rest of the tears on Sena's cheeks. When she saw his face, she wanted to cry again, longer. His mind was still unable to calm down, but he had to feel quite, his mind was quite relieved at least for now.

“you wait in the dining room, Grandma will clean up first.”

“good Grandma..”

“i want Jaeha! I can't wait anymore!” helena shouted at Minho

“you must be patient! He will be yours but not now!”

“then when?! Every day I want to be with her, I want to hug her, I want to serve her! I want him!”

“you must remember he's married—“

“but I'm his first wife! I am his most beloved wife! You said she didn't love your sister but why when I was sick she didn't want to be with me last night! he left without caring about me!”

“didn't he say there was some business? Why don't you just trust him?!”

“ midnight? What business is in the office until it has to be done in the middle of the night?!”

“if you don't know the business of office work you better shut up! If you want jaeha back then you have to be patient, if you hurry then jaeha will not come back to you but he will get away from you! If you don't want that to happen then do everything slowly. The situation is different now you understand?!” Minho himself was impatient, he wanted Sena and Jaeha to get divorced soon, he wanted to see their household end but he had to do all his plans calmly.

“then what should I do?” Helena eventually relents, she just wants Jaeha back to her, he will follow everything Minho plans to do even though he has to be patient until the time comes.

**

Jaeha had just returned from the office, he went to the kitchen first to pick up a glass of water as his thirst-quenching agent.

“seems not yet, I haven't seen Sena from earlier.”

Jaeha kept his glass and then he went upstairs to Sena's room, “This is me! you're not awake?” said Jaeha from outside Sena's room

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Absolutely no answer, Jaeha began to panic after several times he called sena but there was no answer, for some reason when Sena did not answer the call from him immediately Jaeha always panicked, he was afraid Sena disappeared or something happened that he did not want. He immediately opened the door to Sena's room which, fortunately, was unlocked, and the dark atmosphere of the room made Jaeha unable to see anything.

While turning on the lights, “Sena is already jam—“ he saw the empty bed Sena, the mattress that has been neatly arranged, the rest of the fragrance of Sena perfume can still be smelled by Jaeha, the feeling of panic is increasing. Jaeha tried to find Sena in the entire room of the house even up to the warehouse but still there was no result.

Jaeha went back to the kitchen to see Aunt Hanmi, “Bi, are you sure Sena is not awake yet?”

“I'm sure, I haven't seen Sena this morning. Wh why? is Sena not in her room?”

“i've been looking for her but she's not there!”

“try calling him first, maybe he's jogging or taking a morning walk. Calm down don't panic.”

Unfortunately Sena's phone is not active makes Jaeha want to slam the glass that is now beside him, ‘

you... Why do you make me like this Sena? What do you want? You made me... made me..’.

“goodbye!” said Sena, he was impatient to eat the cuisine made by Aunt Mija.

“Sena, Grandma is fine why are you buying porridge?”

“Aunt Mija says Grandma's blood pressure goes up because Grandma thinks of Grandpa who is sick, sick people have to eat porridge.”

“Sena, Grandma is not treated, Grandma can still walk, why should porridge?”

While chewing Sena said, “porridge is good as a breakfast menu. And also Grandma had to come with me to the doctor, Aunt Mija said Grandma did not want to be checked, thankfully I came today.”

“but Sena, Granny—“

“Grandma said won't refuse what I ask for! Grandma didn't forget that, did she?”

Grandma Nam smiled resignedly, “alah, Grandma is always defeated if you are stubborn like this.”

Sena smiled won, secretly it turns out Grandma Nam noticed Sena since earlier, “Sena, do you rarely exercise?”

“why?”

“you look fuller, your appetite also seems.”.

“let me not be seen living a hard life, let others think that my life is happy.”

“what do you mean? how heavy living? You're happy too aren't you? Just-there you are.” Sena was not happy to hear that question from her Grandma's mouth.

“hehehehe, but I'm not so fat?”

“no, still normal. Just so you are healthy.” said Grandma Nam while putting a piece of sauteed octopus into the rice bowl Sena,

Aunt Mija came to bring a bowl of rice to the table right next to Sena made her wonder, “I didn't ask to add rice.”

“ini for your husband.”

The deg! His heart is starting to get troubled, why did he come here? Inner Sena

“dia looks worried when asking if you are here or not.”

Grandma Nam looked directly at her grandson, “Sena, you didn't tell jaeha that you came to Grandma's house?”

Sena did not answer, she prefers to duck, “kalian..?”.

Just then Jaeha came to the dining room, he looked calm when he saw Sena was within sight, he really wanted to hug Sena right then and there even though Sena didn't see him at all.

“Jaeha, come sit down! We had breakfast together.”

“good Grandma,”

Jaeha sat beside Sena, the woman still did not glance at Jaeha he only focused on the rice in his bowl, Jaeha tried to remain ordinary.

“forgive Sena who is still immature, she said she didn't tell you first that she was going to my house. Sorry to worry you.” Grandma Nam

“it's okay Grandma, Sena suddenly must miss Grandma a lot. I understand why he left so early in the morning.”

“you are an understanding husband.” Sena was very angry to hear the praise for Jaeha, he was suddenly upset with Jaeha. Because of Helena's problem? Sure, but it feels more than that.

“I'm done eating.” Sena stood up to leave the dining table,

“sad you haven't finished your breakfast, aren't you still hungry?”

“i am full,” said Sena with a fake smile, she immediately left Grandma and Jaeha without turning her head.

“Jaeha, are you guys having any problems?”

Actually, from before going to Grandma's house, Jaeha was not happy he felt guilty he had become a liar about his relationship with Helena, he was a liar, he who married first without anyone else knows he has lied to everyone including his mother and father. What if they know? What should he choose? He wants Sena, but what about Helena? He can't hurt Helena either.

“Jaeha!” Nam's grandmother called Jaeha because she never answered

“ah, no Grandma. Maybe Sena's mood is bad, some days he is often like that.”
