“You're too tired to work.. I know you haven't slept, right?” asked Jenny and I agreed, because indeed for two days after the research I spent more time reading the ancient literature about excavating sites that have been found in various countries.
“Quiet, I'm fine”. I said to calm her down who was worrying too much about me.
“We'd better go home now yuk..” take him.
After paying for the order at the cashier, Jenny and I left the cafe for the parking lot.
“Should I take you home?” he asked, because he was still worried.
“I'm fine, when I get home I'll definitely sleep”. Even though he offered to help, I didn't want to leave my bike in the cafe parking lot. After he understood and believed I could go home by myself, we drove each other's vehicles and went home.
Arriving at home I sent a message to Jenny that I had reached home and wanted to go to bed immediately because of ketchup and sleepiness. The feeling of pain and soreness felt up to the waist due to too much sitting in a chair and lack of rest.
For a few minutes the mind was still imagining the numbers I found in the urn, trying to take hypotheses from other things that might be related.
Damnit... I can't sleep.
I tilted my sleeping position and grabbed the weathered bolster that was never washed and hugged it tightly, hoping that after a few minutes I would fall asleep without any distractions.
......................
The gate of the house opened, and Jenny's car entered slowly into the parking lot.
“Bi.. Papah is asleep?” Jenny asked IRT, who works at her father's house.
“Since returning home this afternoon, Miss's father was in his room, probably sleeping”. He answered, bowing and leaving Jenny in the front room of this large house.
Sometimes Jenny comes home. At least his father so do not worry if there is a child often visit home. His married brother lives in Sweden and comes home only if he wants to. Different from the first brother, Jenny is more independent while Juan is spoiled and a little ask for help from Dad for financial affairs.
Jenny knocked slowly on her father's door, but there was no answer from inside. Maybe true, if he is sleeping, he should not interfere and wait until tomorrow morning just to have breakfast together before leaving for work. He turned towards his room to change into more relaxed clothes.
“Bi.. What's aunt cooking? I am hungry once” he said as he stroked his stomach which was rumbling because since then only ate two pieces of cake.
“Oh yes Non, there is rendang and vegetable lodeh later aunt angetin first, Non wait at the dinner table later Aunt prepare”. He said and rushed to the kitchen to warm up the food.
“Iya Bi” Jenny was waiting with sambar at the dinner table while opening her phone and reply to a chat from her boyfriend.
“Yes you rest yes dear.. G’nite sweetheart” fill in her message to Shean accompanied emoji love and hugh.
His birthday now soared far considering the various things that happened in his life so far until finally meeting Shean who willingly helped him when he was injured. So innocent and kind, too, shean's attitude is inversely proportional to his former girlfriend during this time who only took advantage of because of the position of Jenny's rich son from the conglomerate owner of the 4th largest company in Indonesia.
Bitter memories will never be forgotten, after meeting Shean he learned many things including forgiving the mistakes of others who have done evil to him. “There will be no good thing from hating someone who has hurt you”. Shean said to her while she was confiding about Damian being rude during their relationship.
“This is Miss Jenny, the food is ready” she put the dishes that she had just heated in front of her employer.
After eating, he felt full because he ate too much. He walked slowly down the stairs to the second floor in the right corner of his bedroom. His room faces the park, where he often plays with his brother and sister. At first glance he saw a shadow of himself as a child from behind the window glass. Her shadow glared towards the past while the Mother was still there for them. He looked at the swing and also the flowers that grew in the garden, some of the flowers were relics of the mother.
Even to this day, Jenny still dreams if her mother is still there, her mind and heart can not accept the bitter reality if the Mother is calm in nature there. Even so he still tries to look tough and currently Jenny must be able to look after her Old Father, the only parent left.

“Good morning Pah.” the princess greeted her father who was already at the dinner table for breakfast.
“Morning Nak... Your aunt said you came home last night, where have you been?” ask the father a little worried if his daughter is not doing well out there.
“I met Shean at the cafe, kept chatting a long time and knew it was 10 pm”. The answer is reason, because that's what he did last night.
“Oh Good.. Don't be naughty son, you're already big, already have to focus on your future”. Advice from the father while enjoying a warm cup of tea.
“How are you Shean, is busy what he” Tanya his pleasantries.
“Shean is continuing the research of the site we visited yesterday and a little less healthy because too many stay up.”.
“Oh Yes Pah.. Emm... Actually.........” He has not dared to continue his sentence and is still considering to be honest or not about their relationship now.
“Why... Just story?”
“So.. We both.... decided to date and seriously want to marry”. Jenny said, she blushed shyly said it directly in front of her father.
“Ya.. Get married soon. Papah has blessed your relationship” Was basically excited because what he predicted happened if his daughter was already in love with a man named Shean.
“Ko so Papah who wants to hurry anyway!”. He was upset because his father seemed impatient to immediately see his daughter marry a good man who some time ago he met.
“Loh... Why, if you are serious who just get married, there is no need to beat around the bush.
“You don't have to bother taking care of the wedding. Just leave it to Andre, let him take care of everything, and you can take care of the little things.”. And Jenny is increasingly confused by her father's impatient attitude as it is today.
“Already Pah, later we talk again, it is necessary to chat with Shean also”.
“Yes you are right, then invite Shean to dinner here, when the time will be reported Papah ya”. He then left the dining room and continued to get ready to go to the office because today the company leader there is an important meeting schedule with several major international companies.
Stay alone Jenny in the dining room, she thought about how to convey the words of her father who asked immediately to get married. Shean's afraid he'll refuse because it's too soon.
Alright... I'd better talk to Shean. Her inner whispers give her the firmness to immediately tell and also this step to find out how serious Shean is with this relationship.
Although there is no doubt about Shean, but Dad's remarks have a point, if you are seriously married, too long a courtship will only make the relationship more unclear where it is going.
