MY BOSS MY HUSBAND
96. HELENA AGAIN

~POV HELENA~

*****

        My world seemed to collapse when I found out that my son Jansen was in a relationship with a girl far from the standard I set as a daughter-in-law.

I think the girl named Ayu doesn't even have a quarter of Mira. From all sides. Beauty, education, and wealth. I cried all night knowing this. Mira, the girl I want, what's the lack? Beautiful, yes. Rich, yes. Good education, yes. Why did Jansen even choose a girl who was even a child?

        It started when I met Mira at a boutique. We finally went to lunch together. As we ate, I asked about the development of his relationship with Jansen. I was shocked when I found out that my son had met him very rarely, even more than three months they had never been out together. Only meet if there is a meal together - two families - that we routinely do every month or two months.

        "Patience, dear. Maybe Jansen was busy again, because in addition to running his business, he also helped his papa. Maybe time is drained. You don't want to, the same way he, even he overslept or not focused because tired?" As much as possible I talked to convince Mira that she would believe my lies. While in my heart, I already wanted to tear Jansen apart. How dare he embarrass me like this.

        "Yes Tan, Mira knows. Jansen is busy working for our future, "he replied with an understanding smile. Oh my God, why is Jansen blind. A girl as good and sincere as Mira, she could ignore.

My appetite disappeared instantly. I can't wait to get home soon.

        *****

        "Where's Jansen?" I asked as soon as my feet stepped on the living room of my house. There was Johana and Ruli and my husband there.

        "Sit down first, Ma, why is it in such a hurry? Jansen is still in the office, or on the street," replied Johana who sat on the sofa just looking at me at a glance then her gaze turned to the super big television in front of her.

        "What office, it's Saturday and what time is it?"

        "Mama why? Saturday too Jansen's office opens Ma." My husband ~Hepornor~ also commented.

I sat down by stomping my body in annoyance.

        "Mama is ashamed of Mira, Jansen has not seen him for more than three months, even though every night he went out. Whither? Huhh..." I let out a rough breath. My chest is still heating up in annoyance.

        "Mama had to meet Mira at the mall. He told me, Jansen never took out again, even the phone was rare. Sometimes the message is not answered. What the hell does he want that kid?"

        "Mama calm down. Breathe in, throw out slowly. Yeah, so." Johana helped me to calm down.

        "Later, later after Jansen arrives home, we ask slowly. Don't attack him with questions at once. He can be depressed, Ma. Slowly yeah. She needs time too" Johana continued and it made me look at her husband cynically. 

Depressed what? Kan Jansen himself asked for time for a more personal approach and introduction. 'Don't until Jansen rebels rich you!' my inner.

For some reason, even though Ruli was kind, friendly and worked hard, I still did not clop with her. Ruli has been my daughter-in-law for seven years. But our distance is very far.

        "Looks like we're gonna have to speed up Jansen's engagement, Pa. Mom's feeling is not good. It's also the time we love Jansen" I said after a little calm.

        "Mama set it. Mama's talking to Jansen. Papa support," said my husband softly. Johana and her husband Ruli did not comment.

    To spend the afternoon on this weekend, I played with my granddaughter. The beautiful belvania. Answering the endless questions that came out of his mouth.

        "Jansen where, anyway? Distance from office to home, I don't think it takes five hours. Saturday's office is only half a day, right?" I asked as I stared at the expensive clock that was coiled around my wrist.

It's almost seven o'clock in the night. Where's she?

        "Ma, just in the meantime, why, huh?" Johana has also started to get upset like this because it has been a umpteenth time question from me.

        "Jansen's an adult, Ma. She also has a personal life beyond your control. Maybe he'll be with his friends this weekend. Sometimes give him time to himself. Don't put too much pressure on her, Ma!" johana continued again and I snorted in response.

Restrained him? which part? you could say I'm holding it in my house, right? Offices and Houses-offices. Besides, it can't go anywhere without me. That's just reining.

Johana just doesn't know, I'm worried that it's too liberating for Jansen. Which will ultimately result like Johana. A boyfriend is way below standard.

        "Ma, Jans--"

        "Jansen went to his girlfriend's fight, Ma, in town X," said Johana cut off by Josh who had just entered the living room in a casual dress while staring at a mobile phone. A rare appearance since he continued his education to a specialist in the hospital.

        "You mean?" Johana who first realized. I even sat for a while.

        "Jansen spent the weekend with his girlfriend. Huh!" Josh pointed his phone at Johana and then at me. I could see the video call was in progress and the object on the phone was not the face of Josh's interlocutor. But Jansen who was sitting together in the park with a girl who leaned on his shoulder while enjoying snacks I don't know what it is. I saw once the girl blow her mouth and feed it into Jansen's mouth who happily opened her mouth with a smile.

A very happy romantic couple. Uh. I woke up all of a sudden.

        "Call Jansen and tell him to go home now!" I said loudly making Vania who was sitting on the floor with various toys look at me in shock.

        "His name is Ayu, still fresh out of college, not yet working. Previously he was an intern at Jansen's office," Josh said, distancing the phone from my presence.

        "Man, take some pictures, your moves don't get suspected yah!" josh said, probably to the guy on the video call.

Shortly after that he disconnected and kept the phone on the table.

        "Josh has been suspicious for some time, Jansen often video calls in his room and always calls, 'beb'. Josh was suspicious and finally told the tailors he was secretly. And yes..." Josh sniffed his shoulders not continuing the sentence we could have caught.

        "Mama hold it first, do not immediately ask Jansen once you arrive home. Let's see how far he can walk. Didn't Mama have a candidate for her? He probably won't resist" Josh said.

        "It's not possible. But, 'ti-dak bi-sa'. Come, Honey. We eat!" johana said as she stood up and grabbed Vania from my lap. His face showed he was upset. 

        "Come, Mas!" call her hard to her husband. 

The little family left without even taking us to dinner. 

        "We investigate first. As much as possible, you should hold. Okay fine! Let's see what Jansen will do if the engagement date is set." I could see a cynical smile full of ridicule from Josh's face.

Before long, Johana came again.

        "Ma, Pa, we go out first, Vania wants to eat chicken kriuk he said," he said with a still irritated face.

Maybe he remembered his past when I was defying his girlfriend Ruli. He was upset, because he already knew that I would do the same to Jansen. 

    That night, after dinner, we talked for a while in the living room while waiting for Jansen and Johana to return home. My mind was filled with Jansen and the woman. I turned my head quickly when I heard the sound of a car and then the door of the house was opened. Slowly I heard footsteps approaching.

        "You-you-"

        "We went home, we went straight to Ma's room, Vania fell asleep" Johana said. I thought Jansen was coming home.

My husband nodded with his little smile.

        "Let's sleep, it's ten o'clock. Maybe he's here." My husband hugged me into our room on the first floor.

    Drrrttt

    Drrrttt

  Jansen :

   'Ma, Jan didn't come home, Dad. There's a show with friends. Not too far.'

    'Gutnait, Mum. Love U's'
