Maybe I Love You
61. I'm Staying With You

The phone rang, Hwaran who was making a salad asked her husband to pick up the call.

“Honey, this is from Ibu.”

“Mother? Just lift it up first, this responsibility is a little more.”

Hansoo also raised a call from her mother-in-law, who,

“Hallo Mom!”

“Hansoo? Did Mom bother you?”

“No Ma'am, Hwaran is making a salad in the kitchen. But now he's done.”

“Can you please give it to Hwaran?”

Hansoo handed her phone to Hwaran.

“Mother! How's Mom doing? Healthy?”

“Hwaran, what do you expect from Sena's wedding with Jaeha?” Hwaran was silent for a moment, he was confused why his mother suddenly talked about it to him, His mother did not even answer his question just now.

“Of course I want them to be happy, together until old age and soon give me a grandson.” Hwaran glanced at Hansoo, both of them smiling.

“You will soon fondle a grandson.”

Hwaran was shocked by what his mother said, he exclaimed to Hansoo that they would soon become a Grandmother and Grandpa. Hansoo also had fun with the news.

“Mother isn't lying, is it? Why didn't the kid tell me about this happy news anyway?!”

“He will come to see you.”

“Meet me?” Hwaran stared at Hansoo at a glance, “They are going on vacation here you mean Mother? Finally~ I will have a welcoming party then, I am very happy.”

“No need welcoming party. Sena doesn't need that.” Hwaran's face turned alarmed at the sound of his mother's voice shaking. His mother seemed to be holding back tears but not happy cries, forbidding him to hold a welcoming party? Wh why?

“Why can't Mom? Sena will be visiting here, Sena is also pregnant, the two of them will definitely be happy. Mother too, what's with Mom's voice? Did Mom cry?” Now Hwaran can hear clearly that his mother is sobbing, “Mother? Why are you crying? Did something happen to Sena? On my granddaughter?”

“Sena will directly stay there.”

“Turned? Sena's gonna stay here? Then Jaeha how?”

“They... will get divorced.”.

In Hallstatt, Austria

Sena woke up in Jaeha's arms, so happy to see Jaeha sleeping and hugging him. The warmth mixed with the beauty of spring, a fusion that made him forget what he would do after his second honeymoon.

The cup!

Jaeha moves in his sleep, “Mh~ in a minute.” He increasingly brought Sena into his arms, providing an incredible warmth for the woman.

“Come wake up! We have breakfast then start the journey for today.”

“Popo!”

“Can was already!”

“More~ popo!”

Sena chose according, she would give all that Jaeha asked for. What Jaeha wanted, he would give as a gift to Jaeha. Sena kisses Jaeha, but when the kiss is about to end, Jaeha instead holds Sena's neck and reunites their lips.

“Later tonight huh?”

“Cium?”

“Everything.”

“Arraseo. I'm yours, I'll give it to you only a.”

Jaeha also kissed Sena on the forehead, “Byaku is when I was with you. Thank you for being present in my life, thank you for wanting to be a part of my life.”

Sena's tears just flowed and Jaeha immediately wiped it while asking why Sena should cry?

“It feels so scary to hear you say such words,”

“You can never be taken seriously huh?” Said Jaeha who then kissed Sena's sharp nose. The woman felt that Jaeha's hand was stroking her stomach, “You are a bit fat huh?”

Sena felt comfortable with this touch, in her heart she told her baby to enjoy the touch of her father that she rarely got. “I hope he'll be in here soon.”

‘She is there, she already has Jaeha.’

“That's why I eat so much.” Sena replied, “Doctor said I have to eat a lot so as not to be malnourished.”

“You went to the doctor?”

“Consultation only. What food should I eat, and what activities should I avoid or do.” Sena didn't lie about this

“Sorry I can't accompany you, you didn't tell me yourself either.”

“I just felt something was wrong with my body so I left. Jaeha...?”

“Hm?”

Jaeha looked at Sena seriously, “Why are you asking like that?”

“I'm afraid that I can't be a good mother. I'm afraid that our son will be disappointed in me.”

Jaeha also put his hand on Sena's cheek and then rubbed it gently, “Listen, you never think like that. If you talk like that because you think about your past, then you have to make it not happen again. We will not allow loneliness, we will always be there for it and give it our best. We study together, okay?” Sena nodded, she closed her eyes feeling the touch of Jaeha's hand on her cheek.

This conversation made Sena feel comfortable, but she also felt sad about what she had to face up front there. The separation that was waiting for him, the child he was carrying, the fear he felt made his burden feel heavier.

“I want a boy.” Ucpa Jaeha suddenly

“Hm? Why men?”

“So she can take care of her sister later.”

“You've been thinking about the second child?” Sena laughed at him, though,

“Kan all must be planned.”

“One is not yet the second. Come on get up, the sun is starting to rise, I am hungry too.”

Sena asks Uncle James to drive them to Charnel House/Ossuary, after waiting in line to enter finally they can see the collection of skulls of Hallstatt residents. “Because here does not have enough land for the burial of his kahir was built Charnel House as a second grave.” Obviously Uncle James,

“But this doesn't feel creepy at all.” Sena said while looking around.

“Because this place has been visited by many tourists so it does not feel creepy. Of the many skulls that are here some of them are painted with flower decorations. Look ahead there!”

“So because it is also this place does not feel creepy.”

As Uncle James explained, Sena and Jaeha looked at the skull that had been decorated with the flower and mingled with other tourists.

After from the skull house they choose to explore Market Square or Market Square which can also be called the center of Hallstatt Village.

“Wah! Austria classic!” Sena exclaimed happily as soon as she started entering the market area, “I really feel included in the fairy tale. We buy drinks?” Take Sena to Jaeha, they are now leaving together because Uncle James has to go home because of the arrival of guests.

After buying drinks they walked a small road until they finally reached the settlement of villagers, Sena and Jaeha were warmly welcomed when they arrived there. They are welcome to enjoy the beauty of the village, even invited to stop to enjoy the traditional food of the village with other residents who are gathering.

Aunt Hanmi feels a great loneliness after leaving Sena and Jaeha go on vacation, usually early in the morning Sena always comes to help her now feels empty. “What if later Sena really goes?”

The sound of rapid footsteps made Aunt Hanmi look towards the kitchen door, “I still make Kimchi.” Said Aunt Hanmi as soon as she saw Uncle Bong coming over.

“Not that. His grandmother Sena came.”

“What? Madam Nam coming?”

“Iya, quickly meet there!” Aunt Hanmi immediately took off her rubber gloves and rushed off to the living room. When he saw Grandma Nam standing and looking around the house.

“Mrs.”

“Oh, Aunt Hanmi. Am I interrupting?” Ask Grandma Nam with a smile

“No Madam, but there is a need for what Madam came here?” Aunt Hanmi invites Grandma Nam to sit down.

“Thank you for taking good care of Senaku. Thanks to Bibi, Sena can feel at home in this house and have someone who loves her sincerely.”

Upon hearing Grandma Nam's words, Aunt Hanmi began to feel sadness, she finally knew what decision Sena had taken. How many times had he asked Sena to think about it again but it seemed that it was all in vain. Aunt Hanmi ended up crying, as did Uncle Bong who was secretly eavesdropping on their conversation from behind the wall.

“Thank you for accompanying my grandson.” Grandma Nam approached, she clasped Aunt Hanmi's hand tightly as a thank you.

“I hope their happiness will last long, I hope that the choice will never be chosen by Sena but it turns out. Sorry because I can't help maintaining their relationship Mistress.”

“Aibi has done her best. If there's no Aunt I'm not sure Sena's fetus will survive. Thank you again thank you.”

“Mrs..” Nam's grandmother tries to stay strong, so she asks Aunt Hanmi to help her with her stuff.

“They even sleep in separate rooms.” Grandma said as soon as she saw Sena's room, all this stuff belonged to Sena, none of Jaeha's belongings.

“But even so, they can finally love each other.”

Moving into the afternoon after enjoying a meal of Goulash and Wiener Schnitzel, Sena and Jaeha decided to sail to enjoy the quiet Lake Hallstatt. Sena enjoy the breeze that hit him, but also with the view of the mountains and beautiful trees make Sena more calm. While Jaeha was at the wheel, they just wanted to go both ways.

“Are we going to the next port?” Ask Sena

“We will find a quiet place.”

They finally got to the edge of the lake that was quite quiet, after tying the boat they also chose to walk along the edge of the lake. Sena stopped as soon as she saw the swans descending into the lake and Jaeha hugged her from behind.

“You are more interested in those geese huh?”

“I enjoy their freedom. They can be free to go wherever they want.” Jaeha let go of his embrace, he moved to Sena's right side. Jaeha also called the woman's name, as Sena responded to Jaeha kissing her.

The soft kiss she likes from Jaeha, the soft and warm kiss Jaeha always gives her, the kiss she will always miss.

“Stay with me.” By Jaeha, “Please, stay with me.”

A look full of hope, an eye gaze that could make his defense collapse right then and there. Her soft voice, the gentle touch of her fingers, Sena wanted to enjoy that for the rest of her life. He tried hard, again Sena tried to smile.

Sena touched Jaeha's hand that was on his cheek, he closed his eyes enjoying the sensation of warmth and tenderness, “I’m stay with you.”
