MY BOSS MY HUSBAND
95. HELENA
~HELENA POV~
*****
I think I'm the luckiest woman in the world. Having a good, loyal and responsible husband is also supportive in all things. I also have three beautiful and handsome children. I am happy, now my happiness is increasing because I have grandchildren. At the age of half a century, with a healthy body condition I can still practice in the hospital.
One day, my husband invited me to a business event. And it was unexpected that I met an old acquaintance during high school. We are not close, but we know. And because we met on this show, we were a little nostalgic during the school days. My friend - Hermina - came with her husband who felt foreign to me. As I recall, her lover was not the man beside her. A little story about Ermina at school. She is a smart quiet girl. Our last months in High School, he became a byword for successfully conquering the most bandal but handsome students. They become lovers who have opposite traits and personalities. Many are sad, many are envious.
They were a phenomenal couple until we graduated and the last news I heard they got married not long after graduating school. After that, the news of him disappeared as we parted ways to move on with each other's lives.
Decades later, I met him. He was with a calm man and also a grown-up girl. Who's this calm guy? Was husband? Then where's Marco's bandal and handsome husband? Then who is this girl? Was daughter? Why not similar?
Although I was very curious, I did not want to ask about his personal matters. If there is a chance to meet later in the day, then there may be a chance to ask.
"You haven't changed, you're still as beautiful and energetic as you used to be" she praised and I nodded with an elegant smile to respond.
"It hasn't changed anything, it's old like this, it's wrinkled. And now it's easy to pickle when carrying a grandchild." I told you that I already have a grandchild.
"Good-grandson? You have a grandson, Len?" His surprised voice made me chuckle.
"Dad, my eldest son is married, and already has one daughter," I explained.
"Your son?" tanyanya asked my bachelor son Jansen who came with us to this event.
"No, that's my second son, handsome, right?" I blinked my eyes as if to code. Whether you know since seeing his daughter named Mira, I've been interested. Mira looks like a strong but meek girl is also elegant. Ermina educated him very well.
Ermina smiled in response to my words.
"My eldest daughter, Er," I said.
Then came the short story that I had three children and now my two sons are not married. And I also eventually found out that Mira was Ermina's son with Marco but had been divorced for a long time. The man is now her husband and already has two children ~sepasang~.
In that short time, Ermina told me that since marrying Marco first, they delayed having children for several years. And his first child died while in the womb because of Marco's treatment that began to be rough. Until finally they divorced when Mira was ten years old because she could not face the rudeness of her husband Marco.
I didn't expect him to give up, because from the beginning of dating and going on to the wedding of course he already knew Marco's nature. At school, he was the most reliable. But back again to each person well, if not able to anymore for what in the defend? The most taboo thing in my opinion in a husband and wife relationship is flirting or physical violence. If it has been done once, the second meal, the third time and the umpteenth time will still occur.

"Mira's pretty, Jan?" I asked Jansen who was driving. He looked at me for a moment from the front view and nodded. "Hmmm, gorgeous!" the answer is flat like no interest.
"Mature mate, will you?" ask me to look for an opportunity. Really, I've been imagining hanging out with a daughter-in-law who's a taxi like Mira would be fun. Our taste will not be much different. Our mindset must be almost the same and will connect if we tell stories. It just so happens that Jansen is still at home in the age of twenty-eight almost two nine.
"Jan couldn't find a mate by himself," he replied still flat.
"If you can, surely now you're not single anymore" my lips sighed with annoyance.
My only child is that old and still single. I used to even before graduating koas was married because I had been dating too long ~five years more~.
"Suit it!" my husband replied while nodding.
Don't you? I said what too. He would have agreed. I should be able to persuade Jansen, my very stiff and reserved son. There is no sense of humor and irrit smile even irit talk. I think he is because he has no friends to talk to. It's good that he's close to Mira so that she changes and lives more.
Little information about my son, he's different from his brother Josh who can better express what he thinks. Josh will fight if he doesn't like it and won't hesitate to refuse anything I give him if he doesn't like it. Even for school majors, he determines. Good thing he followed in my footsteps so I don't really mind.Different with Jansen, Jansen has always liked to make building designs. He wanted to be an architect. But I refused because my husband had some business in some areas. My husband and I forced him to major in business management. And it is proven that now he managed to become a leader in one of my husband's companies engaged in printing and publishing
"Papa said it was appropriate, Jan. You want a mama match? If you want you can talk to Aunt Er." I tried to persuade him.
"Kc.. No, Jan doesn't like it. From the first sight, Jan knew he was dominant. Jan did not want to. Mama set him up with Josh, they're a good fit." Jansen refused and offered me a solution that I clearly rejected. Wh why? Because from my monitoring, Josh already has a girl who is as professional as him in the hospital. So Mira matches Jansen. Just imagine, one day I will walk side by side with my elegant daughter, two daughters-in-law who are no less elegant and also beautiful. We're going to be a group of high-quality women, right?
"Try it first, acquaintance first. You value MIra so because you are still just met, have not known more personally. Try it first, dad!" I said it gently but there was a meaning that it could not be denied.
"Hmm" replied Jansen. Right, guys? He will not refuse. Jansen my son is the most obedient. What I asked, he would. Different from my other two children. For example Johana, To be honest, to this day I still do not accept her husband Maruli. My smart and beautiful daughter must be with a man whose level is below her. From every aspect. Of economics especially. But out of love and stubbornness, I finally relented and gave my blessing. "Jo will be a spinster if you don't marry Ruli. Jo swore!" he said that time forced me to accept.
"Okay, you'll have to invite them to dinner sometime, you'll have to clear the schedule if you say you want dinner!" I swear in my heart I am so happy.
Greetings ...
It turned out that Ermina was also interested in Jansen and Mira as well it seemed. He blushed as me and Ermina offended Jansen in front of him. From then on, the plans of the two families to come together grew larger. Meetings are increasingly being held. We will even have dinner together even if there is no event.
My husband is also getting closer to Ermina's husband. It's just ...
"Jan, you why the hell, every time there's a meeting, your face stays flat. Can't it be changed a bit? That smile. You like to be forced, mama sometimes embarrassed by Aunt Er and Mira." I nagged Jansen who was driving. Beside him was Josh who was holding back the ruckus while covering his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Udah gather family so, all cheerful, laugh, your face slab."
I felt a soft rub on my back. Surely it was from my husband.
"You know what Jansen is, right?" my husband said softly.
Yeah, hell, you know. But can't it be changed, little stuff?
"Why haven't you been taking Mira out lately? That busy you?" ask again.
Mira said, Jansen is busy. Their time for the two roads was extremely rare.
"You asked for a year to get to know yourself more personally. If you never leave again, how do you know him further. Invited vacation do not want, invited to watch do not want. I don't know what you want." I swear I was sprained once after I got Mira's report. This unwilling jansen, that's.
"There's a girl the other time she is, Ma." so glad my oxtail son, Josh, is sitting next to Jansen.
Hearing it, I thought about it, but it was impossible. During this Jansen routine at home, not anywhere, his behavior is also common. Same time.
"What a girl, she wants to be engaged to Mira. There are no other girls, besides Mira. Restu No. Don't follow in the footsteps of your brother Johana. Watch out, you two don't let anyone stray like your brother!"
