"I'm sober! I am very conscious when I speak. The unconscious is you, brother! You're always defending him!" Mila spoke while pointing at Jesika with her hand. "When he was nobody. But you defended it all out. So, the unconscious is you, Brother Jaka."
Jesika couldn't hold out any longer in the midst of the debate between this sister's brother. Therefore, he immediately pulled Mila's hand to immediately move away from Jaka. Although in truth, he was being extremely injured at the moment.
Her heart ached as Mila always told her who she really was. It was very desirable for him to shout at Mila in a high tone. But, that's not what Jesi did. Because Jesi is self-conscious. If he did, it wouldn't add to his good heart. But it would only add to the worsening pain in his heart. Because Mila will certainly act that might further torture the soul and body of Jesi later.
Now, they're inside the house. Mila immediately pulled out her hand which was in Jesi's grasp.
"Take me off! You are shameless. It's as if you're just pulling my hand. Who do you think you are, huh?"
"Mila sorry. If I hadn't pulled your hand, you wouldn't have left. You said your mom wanted to meet me. But, you were busy arguing with Brother Jaka. You want to make mama wait a long time?"
Mila put her gritty face on Jesi.
"Don't say much. The more you talk, the more upset I get at you."
"Mama wants to talk to you with four eyes. He's been waiting in his study."
"Oh yes, I want to remind you something, Jesika. You need to know who you really are. You're just the foster child that my parents raised as best they could. For that, you need to know how to thank. You should be able to return my parents' favor. Don't ever disappoint my mom and dad. Especially, papa who is no longer in this world."
Mila's words just now, Jesi really knows what his intentions and goals are. For sure, Mila wanted Jesika to agree to what they had planned beforehand. About matchmaking with a mentally ill man who can relapse his illness at any time.
Jesi doesn't know what to answer. Because right now, he was in a deep enough dilemma. Because on one side of his heart, he wanted to refuse. On the other side, he had no power to do so. Really, he was very confused.
Then, because Jesika did not answer what he said. Mila directly patted Jesika's shoulder hard. While speaking out loud of course.
"Why are you even dumb? Don't tell me you've forgotten who you really are, Jesika."
"Mila's. I don't forget who I am. I always remember my background in life. You know, you always remind me of that. So, how could I possibly forget."
"Yes that is it. I'm going inside now, Mila." Jesika said as she took a quick step.
He deliberately did this little thing to make Mila a little upset. Even though he knew, it wasn't a good thing actually. Because Mila will definitely turn around to scold her after she messed up Mila's heart.
.....
What Jaka said is true. The adoptive mother really wants to meet just to talk about matchmaking. Replacing Mila married a mentally ill man.
"You should remember, Jesi. If it wasn't for the kindness of my husband, you might not exist in this world anymore. It's possible, you're dead or if you can still live, you won't feel like you have a place to live like this."
"So, I'm asking you to marry Jonathan. Because if we don't accept the offer, then our family will be doomed. What you built with great difficulty will not be left."
Emily spoke while turning her back to Jesika. With the hand she folded to her stomach, Emily was seen forcing Jesi to accept and follow what she wanted.
"Jesika," said Emily again while twisting the body. "It's time you paid all our services to you. If you object to this request, then remember how your papa loved you so much first. He doesn't even consider you an adopted son."
"I know, mama. I will repay all your services to me. I will marry Jonathan as you wish" Jesi said impatiently.
Because the longer she's held back by not answering what Emily said. Then there will be more and more inappropriate words that will make his heart more sick and sick again.
Emily was happy with that answer. A small smile was engraved by itself in the corner of Emily's lips that seemed clearly blushing red lipstick.
"You're serious about what you said just now, Jesi?"
"Yes, Ma. I'm serious."
'Although basically, I really don't want to accept what you want. But I can't refuse. I have no other choice, Ma. If only I had, then of course I would not agree, ' Jesika said in her heart as she lowered her head.
