~POV HELENA~
*****
Actually, my mouth was very itchy to ask Jansen about the girl named Ayu. But with all my might I held him in mind Josh's message of wanting to further monitor Jansen's relationship. Especially yesterday that Jansen did not come home after dating the girl. Where's she? Did he stay with the girl?
Last night I cried over it, various allegations stopped in my brain and the most stifling was what if Jansen had gone the wrong way and often played women. Stay together and spend a long, hot night.
The circumstances also did not seem to support me to immediately break Jansen's relationship with the girl by speeding up her engagement. Every time there is a discourse to gather together with the Mira family, there is always a sudden obstacle from the two families in turn.
"Len, tonight's show we're dropping well, my son Andri has a high fever and we're at the Hospital now" he said that afternoon via phone call. Surely this frustrates me because the family meeting will be canceled for the next time.
"Oh, yes, no pa-pa Er, the meeting could be next time. Health matters number one. May Andrian get well soon Er. Greetings from aunt Helena to Andrian well." My gentle tone was completely opposite to my boisterous mood.
I told the family that the event will be tonight on retreat again to when the day. Although Jansen only replied to 'Ok Mam' on his message. I can imagine that he is smiling because of the cancellation of this event.
Me:
'You go alone with Mira, Jan. Romantic dinner all date!'
'Mama booking place well,'
I sent a message to Jansen. Let tonight be just the two of them. All in the way of getting him to go with that girl named Ayu.
I was just about to make a reservation for them, Jansen's message came in.
My Son Jansen:
'Sorry Mam,'
'The office is very busy, there is a new contract deadline'
[send picture]
I nodded because I failed again. A busy office photo with a pile of documents and busy people indicates Jansen is not lying. During this week, he's been coming home longer and I'm not worried because according to Josh, Jansen doesn't go anywhere but in the office and occasionally meets business associates.
My Son Jansen:
'Going home may also be a bit late, we're overtime.'
'Happy weekend Mam, enjoy.'
'Oh my God, please don't give me one more problem. Enough Johana to stress me out. My son Jansen, my proud son, please keep him away from the pellet of that girl named Ayu, ' my prayers are in my heart.

Ermine:
'Len, this weekend we just collect it, over time we do not eat together.'
'Kangen is also the atmosphere.'
I smiled as a message from Ermina came in on my phone. I immediately reported this to all my family members. And I stress that everyone should come along and take their time. I even had my assistant check my schedule one more time, making sure there were no appointments with my patients.
Me:
'Ok Er. I'll see you this weekend'
Before long, there was a new message from Ermina and her request was unexpected.
Ermine:
'We're in Mal xy yeah this time.'
'Relatives open business there, we try her food first.'
'Partially, we need to change the mood.'
This family dinner event is usually done in one of the rooms of the restaurant that has been booked,
I can say it's like a closed event. Then if it is held in the mall, is it not noisy?
But can't I refuse? Especially this is the business of his relatives Er. Hopefully the food is not far from expectations.
Me:
'OK, set it.'
'You're right Er, we need to change the mood.'
What can be done, must agree. I'm trying not to seem dominant in this matchmaking discourse. I don't want to show that I've done it once. Ntar thought Jansen was not selling.
The weekend has arrived.
No one refused when I said there would be a meeting this weekend, Pun Jansen. Though from my observation, he had not met Ayu for two weeks. Last week he was late at the office. And Sunday, he never went with the girl.
We talked cheerfully. The restaurant at the mall that Er suggested was also very good. The food is also good and fits on the tongue. This effort will surely sell well. I see a lot of visitors too.
There was no serious talk tonight, because I always saw Josh who always gave me a code to hold back.
"Mira, I haven't been home in a long time. Play, sweetie."
I'm providing a solution for Mira. Since Jansen didn't bring her out, then let Mira come to the house.
"Hehehe, can Aunty?" tanyakanya.
Look, her chivalry, I asked her to come, she asked me if I could.
"Yes can dong dear, nginap can also. Want to do it now?" my many.
He didn't have time to answer because he smiled, I added again,
"You know, aunt's daughter is just Johana. And married. I have not joked with girls for a long time. Kangen too," I continued.
His face was completely flat with no expression.
"Tomorrow morning Mira came yah Tan. Next time just do it. No change of clothes. Aunty anyway, the thunder is only now, try that earlier, Mira has been preparing, heheheh," he refused politely and a little joking.
And sure enough, Mira's home tomorrow. A day at home until the afternoon he and Jansen fought and Jansen left the house with Mira in their cars.
I followed them to the terrace and asked where they were going.
"Jansen has an urgent business with Auntie, she can't take Mira home. Mira went home first Tan," said her farewell while salim.
"You didn't fight, did you?" I still wonder to see them both.
"Hehehe, no tan, really. Jansen's got some business going, I want to accompany him, just come back from there. Jansen's tired of going with Mira again." Mira stroked my shoulder while smiling shadyly.
I'm so calm because there's no way Mira's lying, right?
*****
During this over a month since the last time Mira came home, Jansen changed. He was more moody and depressed but never told me what happened.
Even at dinner, he often daydreams. And occasionally exhale loudly like being exhausted of the mind.
"Jan, are you okay?" I asked while we were gathering together in the living room.
There was no word from Jansen and his eyes kept staring at the television but I'm sure he didn't even notice what the broadcast was. There was no expression even when the broadcast was a comedy show.
We all looked at each other.
Shortly after I asked, Jansen stood up. "Jansen to top well Mam, sleepy. Good night all."
He walked before we even answered.
"He why? Is there a problem with his company, Pa?" ask my husband and answer him with a sledgehammer.
I stood up to catch up with Jansen. "Ma, please stop! Jansen has his own problems. If he doesn't talk, then he doesn't want us to know what he's talking about. Give him time to himself. Later also he must have told me that you can no longer sit alone." Johana stopped my steps with her words.
"Mama is too pushy." she continued.
In the middle of the night, I went upstairs, I wanted to see Jansen's situation getting weird lately. I stuck my ear to the door, but I heard nothing. Maybe he's sleeping. As I turned around to go down to the first floor, I heard a voice from Jansen's room, a voice that seemed to be crying. "Please help me God" he said in anger.
****
"There's something Jansen wants to say," said Jansen suddenly making us look at her with a look of 'what?'
"Later on!" answer while eating.
And sure enough, after we were in the living room, a word I didn't want to hear finally came out of Jansen's mouth.
"Jansen has a girlfriend, please cancel the match with Mira."
Although I already know, but I was still surprised because it turns out Jansen dared to fight me. Jansen is like following in Johana's footsteps.
Raut Jansen was surprised, when Josh took out a few pictures.
For three more months, Jansen became an enemy of the family. He's there but like nothing, not even saying hello either. It must be the influence of that girl. What pellets he gave until Jansen dared to rebel. Even she herself arranged the family meeting and spoke directly to Ermina that she was refusing the matchmaking.
Ermina and her husband were very angry and disappointed. Mira was also so but still showed her calm face. I was embarrassed because I was the first one to come up with this idea.
I didn't expect that Jansen would be so bold as to take this step. He was even braver than Johana. If Johana used to threaten to get blessing. So unlike Jansen, he said nothing and seemed ready with all the consequences.
I told Josh to watch what happened and sure enough, Jansen came back with the girl. They are blatantly now. I'm looking for time to see the girl.
She was beautiful as well as it turned out, her look was cool and like she had a sweet aura. But his mouth is sharp! Even when meeting both times and this time with my husband as well, his mouth remained sharp. She is not a girl who can be intimidated.
Josh said so too. Even blatantly Ayu claims to love Jansen and his money as well. Only Johana was interested in him, he said the person was friendly and pleasant.
Friendly what?
Although Jansen has begun to soften, and sometimes helps his papa who is in trouble. But he has still changed. Now the priority is the girl. He was even very familiar with the Ayu family.
Even Josh's letter said, Jansen has been getting there more and more, not just on weekends anymore.
"Ma, I'm sorry that Jo used to fight mama and it was like giving a lesson to be imitated by Jansen. But mom, you also have to understand our feelings. Mama fits Mira. Don't you want to know Jansen? Is he comfortable? Does he feel compelled? Jansen is a human being, has feelings. For a long time, my mother controlled her life. He can't choose what he wants, he likes, he wants. What's wrong if this time he wants to fight for what he likes? Please don't put too much restraint on him, he could be depressed and depressed."
Johana spoke quietly, it was just the two of us.
"Since he's been with Ayu, Jo sees that he feels more alive. And more smiles. Did you realize she's been moody lately?" jo asked again and I twisted the memory for the few days we had passed. Right, Jansen's back moody.
"That's because Ayu gave up. I don't want to see us sad. Ayu does not want to take away the happiness of mama while with Mira. I also became Kesel. Ayu accused me of pretending to her. And he gave up, that's why Jansen gave his life to mama again, because she was frustrated, desperate. Is mom insensitive?"
Johana's words were like slapping me. Sensitizes? right, I'm not sensitive to my son.
For days I thought about this, and I told my husband. My husband also turned out to be the same as Johana, only she did not want to disappoint me, so she always supported what I wanted.
With a heavy heart, I asked my husband to meet Jansen. Repairing the relationship of the father of the child who had lost because of my ego.
And with a heavy heart, I invited the girl to dinner at my house.
****
There was no lie from the girl. It's like he's not covering anything up.
Even though I'm tired, I've actually started to soften up inside. Especially seeing my handsome son getting radiant. Not even reluctant to call 'Honey' in front of me. His eyes sparkled when he saw the girl. And his smile was sincere all the way to the eye line.
He also seemed jealous when Ayu unconsciously looked at my playboy son, Josh.
Mira, forgive aunt, aunt can't beat Jansen.
Hope you find a man more than Jansen.
May you be as happy as Jansen who is happy with his chosen girl.
