Naughty Desire Stepchild
Edward's Decision

“Jojo is not in Semarang, then we have to find where else?” Kirana is sad and sorry for ignoring her innocent daughter.

“We must not give up, I will mobilize all my men to find Jojo.” Nathan gently covers his wife's shoulders. The middle-aged man also felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and regret.

“We're wrong over all this. We can only judge Jojo without hearing his explanation. Dear God, forgive us, we have become evil parents and also very cruel to our daughter.” Kirana cried softly in her husband's arms with all her regrets.

But, all the regrets they felt would not be able to change everything. Jojo suffered, and was very hurt. When he needs a shoulder to lean on and support from his family, he is ostracized and hated by his own family.

Poor jojo though.

Edward decided to go to Semarang, to the address he had obtained from the Expedition service receipt he found in Jojo's room.

Perhaps this was one way he could do to atone for his guilt towards that woman.

The handsome man drove his car at full speed towards Semarang. He used land transportation because he believed that the address he was referring to was in a corner of the village.

“Mbah, tomorrow the schedule checks the contents to Kota,”, said Jojo on Mbah Moustache who was sitting next to the television while massaging the feet that felt sore, understandably old and also have gout, so walking a little has made him very tired.

“Mau USG, Mbah. If at the puskesmas ‘kan the medical facility is incomplete,” Jojo replied while staring at Mbah Mustache sitting selonjor on the carpet.

“Mbah seems not to be able to deliver, legs Mbah pain once. If accompanied by one of the ART here how?” asked Mbah Mustache to his favorite grandson.

“They if Monday ‘kan Mbah holiday, and go home to each other, “ replied Jojo sadly. But the look of his sad face immediately disappeared and changed cheerfully, “I will leave alone, Mbah, besides ‘kan there is a car so I can drive myself,” continued Jojo while smiling happily.

“Don't yo, Nduk. It is too dangerous if you drive yourself, especially with a large stomach condition like that.” Mbah Kumis disagrees with his grandson's plan to drive himself to the City. Moreover, the distance from the village to the city is quite far and must be traveled for 2 hours more.

Jojo frowned and again put on a sad face.

The night is getting late, at exactly 10 p.m. Edward has reached Semarang City, he rests and fills his stomach that feels hungry at one of the fast food restaurants that are open 24 hours.

“Crazy!” Edward shook his head several times, not expecting his goal to be this far.

Even he ignored the work, and all his crew who had contacted him since noon, maybe soon he would be fired for neglecting his job.

After his stomach was full and his fatigue was gone, Edward continued his journey to the village where Jojo lived.
