The middle-aged woman raised her head slowly. He dared to look at that face.
“You ...”
“You know each other?” tanya Resa looked at her mother and Jayden alternately.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman who had just been able to look at Jayden ventured to get closer. Not to talk, not to hug. But to sit under his feet.
Jayden was about to retreat, but the middle-aged woman's two hands blocked him.
“Nak, sorry aunt.”
Delia and Resa looked at the interaction of the two in confusion. What the hell is going on.
“Jay you know him?” ask Delia.
“She is the woman who has thrown me into the street!” jayden replied with a little pressure.
A glimpse of the past comes to Jayden's memory.
He was grieving that both of his adoptive parents had just died one day earlier. Suddenly a couple with two daughters came there. The firstborn was only about 4 years old, and another one was about two years old. While the wife who looks pregnant is big.
“You, leave my sister's house!” The man spoke without further ado.
“But I have to where Om?” ask Jayden teen.
“Terden! My brother took you off the streets, you can go back there!” his jolt was heartless.
“But Om—“
“Sri, drag the kid out!” he told the pregnant woman beside him.
“Om, this is my home, no one can kick me out of here!” Jayden teen stands tall, trying to defend her right.
“You're just a foster child, while I'm his real sister! Who's more entitled to inherit my brother's estate.” The cruel man looked back at his wife. “Sri, why are you quiet? Drag the kid out!”
The two girls with him hid behind his mother's back. They were afraid because her father spoke so rudely.
“Wait! I'm going to go. But let me bring my stuff,” break up Jayden who was then still named Jayadi.
“Baw! But not with ATMs, cars, and my brother's money.”
That was the last day Jayden set foot there. He lost a loving parent, who thought of him as his own child. Also at the same time, he had to lose his memories of them. There weren't many things that Jayden brought back then, most of them just for school.
Before leaving, the man threw several hundred thousand bills at Jayden. “This is my mercy! Thank you very much!” he said it as if he had given something very big.
“Thank you,” says Jayden. Then he went from there.
A pat on Jayden's shoulder roused him from the daydream. Delia reminded him that he should not let a mother continue to rest at his feet. Some employees even watched it.
“Wake!” order Jayden.
“Tante won't wake up before you forgive Aunt, son.” The woman refused.
“I will not forgive you if you do not wake up!” jayden said coldly.
Resa who gets a code from Delia immediately helps her mother to wake up. Jayden himself immediately turned to the elevator that would take him to his room. He left the other three women still standing at their original place.
“I'll try to talk to Jay. Resa, take your mother home first.”
“Iya kak.”
Resa and her mother leave, while Delia steps into the next elevator to catch up with Jayden. The employees disbanded. They don't know what's really going on. Last they heard that the woman was the one who had thrown her new boss into the street.
A lot of speculation. Some say it might be Jayden's stepmother. Some say that it might have been Jayden's mother when he was a teenager. Jayden paid a late fee until he was expelled. I don't know, everything still feels dark to feel.
“Jay, you left me?” Delia appeared behind the door, having previously asked Jayden's room to one of the employees there.
“Jay, share if it can make you better,” Delia said.
“She is the woman Del. The woman who kicked me out of my house! My adoptive parents' house!” jayden said after stretching his arms.
“You still hold a grudge against him Jay?”
“I will never forget her deeds and her husband Del!” jay is serious.
“Jay, holding a grudge will only dirty your own heart Jay.”
“I don't get revenge Del.” Jayden turned towards the window. See the view of office buildings from there. “I just can't forget it.”
Delia approached Jayden, and hugged him from behind. “I understand Jay. Try to look at it from the other side. Are they not the ones who meet us indirectly? Try you think. After you are expelled, you have to work for your living expenses and school fees. You work as a cafe singer, and that's where we meet.”
Jayden turned to look at Delia.
“Let me be a gift of all your sorrows. You don't like the prize?”
Jayden approached Delia. It cuts the distance between them. Delia greeted him by closing her eyes. The lips met, after a long time. Delia's hands were coiled around Jayden's neck. While Jayden's right hand was already on Delia's back, while his left hand held Delia's head to deepen their kiss.
Just a few seconds to two minutes, kiss it off. Both seem to be breathing heavily. I want to do more, but I can't.
“After the meeting, I will drive you home,” said Jayden, “I will propose to you,”.
Delia nodded.
“Please wait here, I'll be right back.” Jayden came out of his room. He does not want to happen if he continues to be with Delia. He has to finish his meeting today. A big contract he will sign.
Delia smiled remembering that short kiss. He decided to sit in Jayden's chair. He smiled to see his picture there. He took.
“Thank you for keeping your heart for me Jay.”

“Thank you for giving me time Sir, Mom,” Jayden said. He is currently sitting in the living room of the Arga Wijaya residence. In front of him were both Delia's parents. Also Delia and Farel on his left and right side.
Actually Jayden was a little afraid to see Farel there. Not afraid of his stature, but afraid that the young man would ruin his sacred event. Yep! For him this is a sacred event. He even wore after a suit complete with a tie when it came to Delia's house. Delia had already said to wear ordinary clothes, but Jayden was adamant about her choice. However he was quite embarrassed when it came to it like the wrong person in the costume. Both of Delia's parents were wearing home clothes. With Farel. While Delia was still wearing the same clothes as she was this morning she was wearing.
“Live at my destination. I came here to propose to my father and mother's daughter. I'm sorry I came by myself, because I don't have anyone to ask. But that doesn't diminish my seriousness on my goals.
“I'm serious about the daughter of Father and Mother, I love her. I want to marry her. I hope Father and Mother give us our blessing.”
“Pppffttt ... Hahahahaha ..” The sound of laughter sounded. Sure enough, the one Jayden was afraid of happened. Farel ruined his sacred show. He even continued to laugh until Arga glared at the young man.
Farel who could not stop laughing chose to leave from there. Leaving behind the awkwardness that Jayden felt. The words he had compiled became a mess because of Farel.
Just watch out for you, boy. Later if I had been your brother-in-law legally, I would have laughed on your application day! Inner Jayden.
“Ehem!” Arga cleared his throat before starting to speak. “Before I give my blessing, I want to ask my daughter first, whether she wants to marry you or not.” Arga looked towards Delia. The ones in the face seem to meet. “Come reply Del.”
Everyone turned towards Delia.
“Papa, why is it still questionable,” said Delia timidly.
“Yes who knows in London you meet a man who can replace Jay,” ledk Arga who somehow since when has a sense of humor.
“Papa ..” Delia turned to Jayden. “No Jay, I'm there to study, not find another man. Love I keep for you a.”
Arga and Farida laughed at their daughter's words. Jayden was embarrassed.
“You heard Jay yourself, that was our answer,” said Arga when her laughter stopped, “but, there is something I ask of you, and you have to fulfill it,”.
“What?”
