"There's no need to thank you, Jesika. It's only natural for you to do that, because you're papa's son-in-law, right?"
Jesi did not answer. Those words were as if a thorn was stifling him back. She was wanted by her father-in-law, but rejected by her mother-in-law. Is this the path of life that he always had to take. Because from the beginning, she was also rejected by the foster mother once. All I want is papa. Here, also in the old house it's the same.
....
The day passed quickly. Jona's condition is getting better and better. He's been out of the room a lot now. Although not out of the yard, but he did not lock himself in the room anymore.
Jona is also able to interact with others well. He can eat at the dinner table, can also watch television in the family room. Yes, even though it was all still done with Jesi, but he had changed a lot now.
Meanwhile, this morning Jesi looks a little different than usual. Early in the morning, he was already looking neat with polite clothes wrapped around his body.
"You ... So go to your father's grave, Jes?" asked Jona who had been waiting for Jesi's arrival to her room.
"Yes. I'm ready now." Jesi spoke with a sweet smile on her lips.
However, the smile instantly faded due to Jona's unhappy face. Jona was glum with a glare looking down.
"What's up, Jo? Why do you seem so unhappy now?"
"You don't want me to go, do you? I'm not leaving for long, Jo. Just for a second. After praying, I'll go home."
Jona still did not answer. He still remained silent with the same gaze as before. That made Jesi a little disappointed. She tries again to convince Jona of her disappearance.
"Jo, I won't be gone long. Dan, you know, right? If I go it's because there's a reason. Today is my father's birthday. Although papa is no more, but we will come to his tomb to pray."
"I know about it, Jes. You go there's a reason. But ... can you take me along? I also want to go" said Jona Lirih.
Of course the remark instantly made Jesi shocked. The thing that Jona was gloomy about was that she was not invited.
"Ka--you .. seriously want to go?"
"of course. Do I look like someone who's lying?"
"Eh, but before that, you have to get ready first. Yo!" Jesi said with a smile.
Now, there were things that made her heart happy. Also ... simultaneously makes Jesi's heart sad and afraid.
The more he is with Jonathan, the more he is afraid to let Jonathan go. But, Jonathan's change now is also very happy for Jesi. As if, he had managed to do what he wanted to do.
A few minutes later, Jona was ready to make preparations. When he saw the neat Jona, Jesi was immediately transfixed. The man's face is getting more handsome now. No less artists are dressed up to be more attractive when they want to appear in front of everyone.
Because of the silent Jesi, Jona was forced to call Jesi to be aware of her daydream. Jona touches Jesi's shoulder slowly.
"Jes." Js."
"Ah, iy-yes," said Jesi nervously.
"Why are you silent? Am I not fit in this outfit?"
Jona's question makes Jesi blush. She is embarrassed to have been caught watching Jona until Jona has to wake her up from daydreaming.
"Ah, i--it .. that, ngg-no really. You, fit in with this outfit. You ... handsome," said Jesi while grinning the horse. Trying to hide the nervousness that was controlling his heart.
"You sure?"
Uh, Jona teased Jesi again. Of course it makes Jesi more cornered and increasingly unable to hide what he feels.
"Of course."
"Let's go now!" jesi said quickly while moving with big steps in order to avoid Jona as soon as possible.
Jona smiled. He knew that Jesi was trying to hide his nervousness. Because actually, Jona's taste and mind have now started to normal. He's recovering now.
Jona and Jesi walked down the stairs. Of course there were many eyes that saw the two of them descending from the top floor towards the ground floor of the luxurious house. And, there are also julid's eyes that directly stare dislike towards Jesi. However, some of the servants agreed that the two were the most compatible couple.
