Because today is the weekend so Elena is at home. Mariana has gone to work, she has an appointment with the lawyer to take care of her case to be finished quickly. Elena actually handed it all over to the lawyer. He did not take part again even though he had to spend more money to pay the lawyer. Though he has not got the first salary but the money he spent already exceeds the first salary he will get later.
Jansen was still at home because his clock working as a building porter had not yet arrived. Jansen was in the room to talk to someone about something secret. The atmosphere in the house was quite peaceful, as Elena was in the living room and Jansen was inside the room.
Jansen is done, it's time he went to work. His appearance was quite okay, he should not look like a rude worker. He didn't even intend to bring Elena's bike for today. Just for today because Mariana said they wanted to invite Elena to a race.
Elena was still serious when Jansen approached her. The fragrance of the perfume used by Jansen distracted Elena so Elena raised her face and looked at her. Jansen smiled, because Mariana made her want to try to get close to Elena. There had been many women he approached and courted all this time and they were all so easy he got but the woman who was sitting was, like an expensive woman who was hard to touch by him even though he had a lot of money.
"Are you leaving?" elena asked who went back to check on her work.
"Not yet, in a minute, but how do you know I'm leaving?" Jansen sat down by Elena's side and took the book on the table and looked at it.
"Don't touch that" Elena said.
"I'm just looking" Jansen replied. He pretended to look at the book but he actually glanced at Elena once in a while.
"You're young enough, why did you become a lecturer?" ask Jansen. He wanted to know Elena further. Not only did she know as her lecturer and helper but she wanted to know Elena as a woman.
"I studied properly because I aspired to become a lecturer so I was able to graduate at my young age even I had earned S 3 even though I was young," elena said without intending to boast.
"Waw, it looks like the IQ you have is really good!"
"If not then I won't be able to become a lecturer!"
"Okay, I've lost to you!"
"It's not a game, Jansen. Do it right, not for others but for yourself. No one will take away from you what you've learned so you have to do it for yourself and do it right. At least do it for your ideals or for your life purpose!"
"I know and I'm doing!"
"Good, you're a man so you have to have a purpose in life. Don't waste your precious time because wasted time won't come back!"
"Thank you for your advice, Elena. You become a lecturer like this, do your parents not forbid?"
"No, they actually supported my decision to become a lecturer."
"It must be great to have parents who support what decisions we want!" as he said that, Jansen's eyes glared. Had he had a father who cared and supported him, perhaps he would not have been a brat just to seek his father's attention.
'Why? Does your father not support what you want to do?" elena asked who had turned and looked towards Jansen.
"If he supported me and cared about me then I wouldn't be like this."
"Why doesn't your dad care? There must be a reason, right?" after a long time, he was finally able to pry information on why Jansen behaved like that.
"Yeah, you should have known. Since my father brought the ******* and his son into the house, our relationship changed and things got worse for me after my mother committed suicide. My father died with my mother because he was never there for me!"
"But your world doesn't stop there!" elena said, now with a little soft.
"What you're doing is wrong, Jansen. You should have proved to your father in a different way, not in a rebellious manner and wreaked havoc everywhere!"
"You don't know what it's like to be ignored, Elena. Whenever I think, it is always considered wrong. All the attention and praise was given to Richard to the point that I was not considered and like there was nothing in the house where you were born. I was considered like a passer-by, whenever what I did was always considered wrong by my father whereas Richard, was always right for him and I was subtly wasted!"
"Alright, I don't know what it's like but it's not too late for you to improve. Now that you don't live in that house anymore, you're not financed by your father anymore so prove to your father that you're not the trash and loser you thought you were. Show your father that you can surpass Richard by your own ability, not by the power your father has. I've helped you and I hope you don't disappoint me. Anyway you have to do it for yourself and you have to do it for your late mother to make her proud there."
"Thank you for the advice you gave me. I'm doing it and I won't let you down!"
"Good, you should do it. Do your best because someday I'll charge you all the money I've spent!" said Elena.
"What's? So all of that isn't free?" Jansen pretended to be surprised.
"Of course not. Nothing is free so you have to replace it!"
"Ck, how's this? I don't think I can replace it for the rest of my life. You know I still haven't graduated and it's gonna be hard to find a good job because of my bad reputation all along."
"I don't care, you have to find the right job to pay for all the money I've spent for you!"
"What if this was the case, I have a solution because I can't possibly afford the money you've spent on me and my friends!" jansen.
"What solution? No need to beat around the bush!"
"Hm, what if you just make me your future husband? I'll pay you your money by being your husband and I'll give up my life for you!"
"What?" Elena turned and glared with a displeased expression.
"Hows it? I'll pay for it by being your husband so I'll bond with you for a lifetime!"
"Don't joke, I'm not planning on getting married anytime soon!" said Elena.
"It's okay, make me your future husband then I'll show you if someday I'll make you proud!"
"Speaking is very easy Jansen, but the process is not easy."
"I know, I know nothing is easy. But if I could be who you want me to be, would you consider it and want to be me as your future husband?"
"We'll see," Elena smiled and patted Jansen on the face. The young man was shocked but Elena had already moved from her seat.
"Show me and prove that you're serious about being my future husband. You have to remember one thing, my family doesn't accept garbage. I'll see how hard you're gonna struggle to keep yourself grounded and remember one thing, I'm not a cheap, lazy woman you can approach easily and then make a girlfriend!"
"I know!" jansen.
"good. I'm not preventing you from being serious!" elena said before she stepped away.
Jansen did not take his eyes off Elena. Didn't expect Elena to take the challenge from him. Isn't this interesting? Now he has a definite purpose to change his life and he will prove it to Elena if he can establish himself even if he does not know what will happen later because it is just the words he said throw it in origin.
