Jordan entered his apartment carefully. Along the way he thought of Roy's words. In addition, Jordan was also thinking about how to deal with Jasmine who earlier this morning had already dared to tense her up. It was true that Jordan had originally entered his room again, but he thought of many possibilities if he spent time to put his sister to sleep. In the end, he wanted to go straight to his office.
Jordan opened his shoes and noticed his apartment that looked deserted. Where did his wife go, he thought. Though yesterday Jasmine welcomed his arrival, but why not now. Ah, Jordan cursed himself. Was he hoping that Jasmine would welcome him? Jordan steps into her apartment, but she gets someone's face on the couch.
“Jasmine,” whispered to herself, walking slowly towards the sofa. Then Jordan sat down slowly on the sofa while looking at the woman who was closing her eyes.
I don't know why Jordan even developed his smile. He remembers the first time they met. At that time Jasmine was still in school and Jasmine had to accept the bitterness of life, namely the loss to her two parents. For almost a week Jasmine was always crying and moody in her room until Endra finally brought Jordan to her house.
Endra asks Jordan to help him comfort his sister. Jordan really did. Jordan also brings Jasmine to his house until Jasmine and Greta get closer. Jasmine learns a lot of cooking from Greta and Jasmine begins to forget her sadness.
“Mas,” Jasmine's voice made Jordan turn his eyes on his wife's face that he just realized looked pale.
Jordan hurriedly held his wife's forehead and how shocked Jordan was when Jasmine's body temperature was hot.
“You have a fever!” jordan said with a panicked face, but Jasmine immediately caught Jordan's hand touching her forehead.
“Sorry, Mom. I haven't cooked anything for dinner,” Jasmine said with a smile that really hurt Jordan's feelings. Jordan felt stupid as a husband and how selfish Jordan was these days.
“I'll compress you. Wait!” not to reply to Jasmine's words. Jordan even seemed to want to find something that could make his wife's fever down. But Jasmine held Jordan's hand so that Jordan again noticed his wife's pale face.
“I'm fine, Mom. I'm just exhausted from yesterday outside all day.”
Jordan knew that Jasmine was lying to him. That's not the reason Jasmine was outside all day because Endra had told Jasmine to quit her job at Mike's cafe. Of course Jasmine had no outside activities.
Suddenly Jordan remembered what happened last night. Jordan immediately turned his eyes to Jasmine's feet. He lifted Jasmine's dress to the knee and found a purplish bruise. Jordan immediately touched her and Jasmine grimaced in pain.
“You didn't treat it? Is this really that sick? Don't you also can't stand up and haven't eaten?”
Hearing the barrage of questions from Jordan it felt like making Jasmine feel cared for once. Jasmine was happy to see Jordan's concern for her.
“Mas right,” said Jasmine and made Jordan's eyes bulge. Jordan took out his phone and ordered food. After ordering food, the man immediately went into the room to pick up the medicine box and attempted to treat his wife's wounds.
“Do we go to the doctor tomorrow?” jordan asked while removing the one that he thought was powerful to heal Jasmine's bruises.
“I'm fine, Mom. It's just a little bit painful, but tomorrow I'm sure. I'll be better.”
Jordan glanced at Jasmine. “You sure?” jordan asked who he was who was not sure that tomorrow his wife would be fine. How about the opposite? thought.
Jasmine nodded her head. Not to forget with a big smile that shows that he is very happy to see Jordan back into the Jordan he used to know. Very loving and kind to him. “Seeing Mas beside me has made the pain not felt,” said Jasmine made a movement Jordan who was applying a drug on Jasmine's leg stopped.
Jordan raised his head to look at his wife's face. For a moment they look at each other and Jordan tries to find out if Jasmine really loves him sincerely.
“Mas, I know, feelings can't be forced, but people say, love comes from getting used to it. I'll wait for you, Mommy. No matter how long I have to wait, no matter how tired I have to be patient that time comes. I just want Mas to give me a chance.”
What is this feeling? Jordan doesn't know why he feels like a bad guy who can't open his heart to his own wife. Can't she forget Laura? Or is this the time he should forget Laura?
“Mas, I love you not because I want to. This feeling really grew out of the old age,” said Jasmine again this time making Jordan feel withered with the face of his wife who shed tears.
A bell separated their eyes. “The order has come,” said Jordan and left Jasmine on the sofa.
Jasmine once again smiled at the back of her husband who was walking towards the door. If only being sick made Jordan pay great attention to him. He wants to get sick every day, as long as Jordan devotes all his attention to him.
“This is the money,” Jordan's voice sounded in Jasmine's ear. Even her husband cared deeply when Jasmine said that Jordan's guess was indeed correct. He was sick and his body felt weak all day so he could not do anything all day. Not eating all day may trigger Jasmine fever.
Jasmine lied that she felt better this morning. When Jordan opened his room. Jasmine could not support her body and returned to the bed. As soon as he braced himself he wanted to go out and prepare a meal for Jordan. He didn't find Jordan, but he was happy because the food was not there last night. Jasmine was wondering if Jordan's food was eating, but she was very sure that Jordan could not throw it away because in the trash, she found nothing.
“Let's eat first,” said Jordan brought two packages of fried chicken from the restaurant in front of his apartment. It's just quick.
“I'm limp once, Mas. Mas alone eat,” said Jasmine has no energy at all. Wanting to wake up he really has no energy, the stomach is not filled just he does not feel because so weak.
Jordan seemed silent for a moment. He glanced at Jasmine at a glance then stared at the food he had ordered. It was impossible if he only ate by himself. Moreover, he bought this food indeed because Jasmine had not eaten yet.
“Alright,” Jordan sighed to himself. “I'll bribe you,” he said really beyond Jasmine's expectations.
Jasmine smiled as she tried to pull her body to sit down, but she did not lie. His body is weak. Even his hands were trembling a little.
“After this I will compress you so that the fever goes down,” said Jordan increasingly make Jasmine feel loved by her husband.
“Thank you, Mas. Sorry if I bother you,” said Jasmine, but this time she got a smile from her husband. How long has he not had that smile? It feels so soothing.
“Come, you have to eat a lot,”, Jordan said as he opened his order and prepared to feed his wife who was happy with her husband's sweet treatment.
[…]
Jordan doesn't realize that he's asleep next to Jasmine. He didn't even realize his hands were around his wife's waist. Jordan quickly took it off.
“Mas,” the hoarse voice of Jasmine typical of people waking up makes Jordan turn his head towards the side. Good Lord! their distance is very close.
“Mas is awake?” Ask Jasmine. Oh no, why are they like real husbands. Even the second point of hers that would not sleep in one room had already been broken by herself.
God! Hurriedly Jordan got off Jasmine's bed.
“I..., I'll get ready for the office,” said Jordan seems like a nervous person, but lamented his stupidity.
The man immediately walked to the door, but he forgot something. Since when did he not wear his shirt last night. He only realized that his athletic body had been enjoyed by Jasmine.
Jordan returns to Jasmine's bed and grabs her shirt that she accidentally took off last night. Jasmine even chuckled at Jordan's behavior.
“Mas says it's not unusual to sleep in clothes,” obviously Jasmine does not want to be accused if she took off her husband's clothes. That's why he went back to saying what Jordan said last night to him. After Jordan lifts Jasmine's body into the room, Jordan lies down with Jasmine.
“Dad I know!” jordan said then walked back to the door and exited Jasmine's room.
Jasmine chuckled back. But he was happy because his body was so fresh this morning. The cure is only one. Getting great attention from her husband is the most potent medicine when she is sick. Jasmine had never recovered so quickly when she had a fever. Jordan is great.
