Shean & Jenny
Secret
Tonight I fell asleep so soundly, and was awakened in the morning by the crowing of the neighbor's cock whose loud voice was heard. Feel pain in the back because you have to sleep on the sofa whose face is no longer flat many patches here and there.
Morning routine as usual, shower and also clean up a little so that no laundry and garbage piled up, incandescent sound of a call from a woman in my bedroom, not a ghost, she's Jenny who came with me last night to the house.
"How are you doing?" I just wish he was in better shape than last night.
"Mmmm.it seems like the pain is quite reduced"
"Thank you" she said, and she tried to get up and stand right in front of me. His body was limp and also the pain in his ankle was still a bit painful.
I swept her all the way to the bathroom and gave her a towel, a white t-shirt and training pants and a new toothbrush for her to wear.
Hard to believe, there's a beautiful woman in my house. I never imagined one day I'd bring a woman to stay in this old house and Jenny is the only woman who would want to stay here.
From what she was wearing, I knew that she was a woman from above, even when she met at a motorcycle wash a few days ago, I saw his red SUV was definitely not a cheap car.
Finished in order I made 2 servings of half-cooked egg sandwich, lettuce and cucumber vegetables. Simple breakfast that I usually eat before leaving for work, because the way to cook is quite easy and fast, hopefully he will eat a dish that is not how much.
"The smell is good, are you cooking it yourself?" her question was a little astonished there was a man who would bother cooking breakfast for himself.
I nodded in assent to her question, her perfectly towering mole body standing before me, her legs are level wrapped in training pants and a shirt that is slightly larger than her body that makes me surprised to not believe with the simple clothes that she looks very beautiful.
"Hey! I'm not a ghost!".
"Eh.. Yes sorry.. Sorry if the clothes are uncomfortable for you to wear".
"After breakfast, we go to the clinic. Let there be a special treatment from the doctor, we do not know later your wound may be worse if not treated right away". I tried to divert the conversation.
"You want to take me, right? I'll book a taxi later so you don't have to bother carrying a motorcycle" he said.
He took a slice of the sandwich and ate it voraciously, though the food was still full in his mouth, but he unceasingly praised my cooking and choked on it.
"There are you here, just drink first" I thrust a glass of water which he immediately took to spend half of the glass.
He grinned the horse in response to my words, and continued to finish his breakfast.
You weird chick.

After getting the doctor's treatment, I drove him to a luxury apartment in the south. All this time I only knew this area when passing through when I had to go to the southern city. Now I was in one of the best class apartments among the other rooms.
Just this time I saw an apartment in which there are 2 floors, the bottom and one floor above. The walls of the white room contained several ornament paintings as well as family photos, I looked carefully amazed because of the luxury of the room that I usually only see in foreign films.
We sat together on the sofa facing the window, a wide view of the city from up here, it was amazing, there was the envy of being able to enjoy all the luxurious facilities like this, he said, even if I work desperately for many years, I cannot necessarily buy a luxury apartment unit like his.
"Sheen.. Are you ok?"
"Today you're mostly dumb, what's up?" her eyes gently looked at me, curious about the current content of my mind.
"none.. Justjust... Mmmm" I'm confused as to what to answer.
"Maybe I'm burdened, that's just not what I think. It feels a little strange with our current situation, I am at a loss to say it".
Long we were silent no one word, the tongue felt confused there was a word that could not be conveyed perfectly.
Jenny rested her head on my shoulder, my feelings getting more and more mixed up with all her behavior since meeting up until now.
"Please let me be like this for a moment" he asked without daring to refuse or say yes, I was silent for a while.
Time passed without feeling it was almost 3 pm, kemuning light in the western horizon feels soft penetrated into the pores of the skin comfortable and soothing. I unconsciously stroked Jenny's shiny black hair, her shine clearly visible with the reflection of the afternoon sun.
"It's safe, thank you Shean" he opened his eyes and tried to adjust his sitting position.
"You turned out to have a scene like this" I said still amazed by the afternoon that was so soothing to the heart and mind.
"Yes, but I rarely enjoy it because it's too busy to work and every weekend go out with my friends".
Jenny's story made me realize, if all this time she was not much different from me, feeling lonely and bored with all the things that exist. Also I am tired of being a person who is always humbled by others especially where I work.
"Just talk about my life, how about you Shean? you promised you'd tell me everything, lest you forget?".
"Well, I'll tell you everything". I said and started telling Jenny everything.
...----------------...
This story is hereditary from my ancestors that continues to be told to every generation. My ancestors were sailors stranded on an uninhabited island in the waters of the western sea.
French Jean Beaufort was my ancestor, a researcher of the French naval fleet, while on an exploration mission, the ship was hit by a storm that washed away the ship and sank the entire crew and the only survivor was Jean.
He was drifting in the ocean with a piece of broken wood from a boat for several days until he lost consciousness and was stranded on a small island overgrown with tropical trees.
Armed with sober knowledge he managed to survive for years until finally could be saved by a fleet of French ships that happened to pass through western waters which were also on an exploration mission and researching ships that did not return the French naval base.
In the dark times stranded on foreign islands, Jean every day explore the island which is no more than 25 KM wide. For the sake of survival he hunted for food that was available around the island.fern plants, fungi and reptile animals that he could find there.
From his efforts, it is said that he found ancient artifacts from hundreds of thousands of years ago consisting of precious metal coins, weapons that are now on display at the French State museum.
From his achievements he was awarded an honorary title and appointed to be the leader who would further research his discovery in the royal mission to search for other relics, but the effort was in vain.
The entire crew and the cruiser team are plagued by an infectious disease that kills an entire team of explorers including Jean and the crew of the ship that did not take part in the island exploration back to the kingdom and tells of a dangerous outbreak that killed the entire researcher.
Plague began to spread throughout the kingdom and killed millions of people until finally the traces of the treasure mission disappeared immediately forgotten by many people and only the descendants of the Beaufort family knew this story.
"Grandfather often told about the ancestral story, I remember grandfather was always excited when telling this story".
"True to my guess, you're no ordinary man, I admire you".he smiled at my eyeballs who were also looking at him.
"How about the map?" Ask Jenny who yesterday had seen clearly the map to the island referred by my ancestors.
"Somehow, it could be fake. Ever since I found that map 3 years ago, I've been trying to research the truth of the treasure island, there hasn't been any progress.. I don't know..". His fingers clasped tightly to my hands, his eyes hinting me not to be discouraged and to keep trying to solve the mystery of my family.
