My husband is mentally ill
*Episode 21

Jona was still unconscious after nightfall. Jesi kept Jona company in the room regardless of eating and drinking. In fact, she hasn't left the room since Dana left the room.

"Why are you sick? Those who betray you, why are you punished? The world's a little unfair sometimes, isn't it?" Jesi spoke while watching Jona's face with great pity.

Jona's handsome face looks so touching. Makes Jesi unable to leave him even a little. Either it was out of pity, or it was also because of feelings that were beginning to grow. Clearly, Jesika did not want to budge because her heart was eager to be by Jona's side at the moment.

"You know? I'm experiencing the same thing actually. But, we're different, Jona. You still have people who love me around you. It is different from me living alone. You should be the one happier than me. Honey, you can't be a little strong."

Jesi then smiled sweetly.

"Hm .. I can't say that to you. Everyone is different, right? I talk like that because I don't feel what you feel. So, as fellow humans, we cannot underestimate what other humans feel" Jesi said.

That is, Jesi continued to talk until the night got late. Although he did not get a response to what he was talking about, but he felt relieved after speaking. Finally, Jesi felt tired and sleepy sitting next to Jona who was lying down.

....

The morning quickly. Jesi awakens when she feels someone pulling a hand from her grasp. Who else if not Jona who pulled a hand from the grasp of Jesi.

Jesi instantly raised her face. Their eyes clashed with each other for a while. Until at the end, a voice that Jesi rarely heard touched Jesi's ears gently.

"Sorry."

That one word was able to make Jesi gawk. He was unable to answer that remark, not because he had no answer. But, because of the disbelief that was now filling his heart.

"Je-jesi. Excuse me. I've made it hard on you."

"Jo-wong. You ... You spoke just now?"

"Can you talk?" Jesi spoke again with a face full of happiness. She was happy, until she forgot that she had heard Jona speak before.

"I'm not mute, Jesi. Of course I can talk" said Jona softly.

"You want to tell me I'm sick, don't you?" Jona cuts off Jesika's words quickly.

"Originally you know, the sick one is not my vocal cords, but my mental one." Jona said without hesitation acknowledging what people had said about her.

Because of the words just now, Jesika immediately held Jona's hand. "That's not what I'm trying to say, Jona. I don't want to tell you what you're sick of."

"Then?"

"Yes ..Yes usually, you never answer what I say. And, after all, Mr. Dimas said, you'll talk if you really want to talk. Like ... There's a strong urge in your heart to talk, and then you talk."

"What ... what now, you have a strong urge in your heart, Jo? So then, can you talk to me now? Talk at length like this, Jo?"

Jesi is like happy mothers because they get an eighty percent discount on shopping. He unceasingly talks to Jona without giving Jonathan a chance to answer what he has to say.

Until at the end, a smile made Jesika fixated. A beautiful smile that is very charming. That smile was like a light that suddenly appeared in the pitch-black moment. Jesika was fixated, unable to speak or do anything other than staring at that smile intently.

"You .. you .. bi- can .. seny-- um, Jo?" Sangking disbelief Jesika with that smile, he could not speak smoothly.

"Why? Am I wrong with a smile, Jesi? Do you think I can't smile? I still have feelings, even though I'm mentally ill."

"Jo, it's not like that. I .... "

"Forget it. Whatever you think of me is your right."

"For .. I haven't spoken, it's not because I don't have a strong drive. But, I intentionally don't want to talk."

"La-last ... se-coral? Why are you talking to me? Whereas, as long as we meet I'm busy talking alone." Jesi put on an annoyed face as well as curious with a fixed gaze towards Jona.
