Stuck With An Old Man (Revision Stage)
CHAPTER 53: The Bitter Story
A lot happened during Leon's meeting with Janetha. Leon has now accepted and admitted that the little boy is his biological son. He has also expressed his feelings that he has not been able to tell anyone. For five years it bound him, he was finally calm and relieved.
After Janetha is disfigured and forgives Leon, he introduces Leon to his son as the father of the child. Janetha is actually still upset and angry, but for the sake of the baby who misses the figure of his biological father, he decided to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend. Although they promised not to build more relationships because considering Leon had a family.
That afternoon Leon made an appointment with Janetha. Leon intends to take them for a walk with him because in a few days Janetha and the boy will return to Paris. Janetha agrees to Leon's request. But on condition that he will not go with Leon and Leoanard. He realizes that he is nobody Leon and does not want to hurt Chiren, his best friend.
Instead, Janetha calls Chiren and asks to meet. Actually, he was not happy because he had disturbed the Chiren household, but he was more unpleasant if he returned to Indonesia but did not meet his best friend who had lost contact for five years. There is a great guilt in Janetha's heart.
They meet and tell each other their lives. Chiren asks a lot about Janetha and Leonard, whereas when Janetha asks back about her home life, there is little information she gives. Of course because he doesn't want Janetha to know how badly Leon is treating her.
“You added your family surname behind his name huh? Hmm, your son's name is very good. Almost similar to my husband's name. Leon Zack Rodderick.”
Deg!
Janetha surprised. He returned to normalize the look of his face.
Chiren I'm really sorry. Fate is so cruel that it brought me to that man!
“Janetha?” call Chiren.
“I—iya?”
“Kok. Did you hear my words?”
“Iya, I heard it.”
Chiren smile. “I'm reminded of when we were in High School. You tell me a lot about the man who dated you. Until now I was curious about the man.”
“Eh, yes ... I forgot who that man was,” Janetha said, sweating coldly.
“Ahh time anyway? How could you forget it,” Chiren's tease.
Janetha smiled stiffly. He scratched the nape of his neck that was not itchy. “I—iya real.”
(Five years ago)
Janetha and Chiren are third grade high school students who will soon take the national exam. The two have been best friends from first grade High School. They attend schools in very elite places, which are devoted to the children of officials only. However, Janetha is not the son of an official but he escapes, attending school at the place due to a scholarship from the Blackfire Company.
Janetha is a very smart student. He is no less great with other clever students. However, he is often bullied because he comes from a family background that is not equal to others. At that time the work of Janetha's parents was only an ordinary painter, but over time the work of his parents began to be known to the public and made them quite famous.
However, the fame of his family does not exceed other students who have a distinguished and rich family background. Janetha's life is saved when Chiren becomes her best friend. There was no longer anyone to bully him and corner him because Chiren had always been his defense.
Three years they were good friends. Until then, Janetha knew a man and dated the man. He recounts his love affair but the identity of the man is not told to Chiren. He still keeps the identity of his girlfriend who is none other than Leon. It has been six months that he had a romance with a conglomerate boy who financed his school.
After school, Janetha and Chiren are picked up by Chiren's driver. On the way home, Janetha intends to tell her who her lover is.
“Chiren is something I want to tell you,” Janetha said looking doubtful.
“Ohya? I also want to say something to you,” smiled widely.
“You go first,” Janetha said.
“No. You go first.”
“You know ‘kan that I am in a relationship with a man. Our relationship has been running for six months .. “
“Yes! And until now you didn't tell me who that man was!” chiren, annoyed.
“I'll tell who the man is.”
“Really?” smiling perfunctory.
“But there are conditions.”
“What are the terms?” chiren asked with a frowning forehead.
“You tell me first what you want to say. You seem very happy.”
Chiren smiled back. Her cheeks flushed. “Janetha ... next week we will take the exam.”
“Yes I know. Then?”
“Completed taking the national exam I'm getting married!”
The deg!
Chiren shakes. “I was betrothed,” he said beaming.
“Yeah, Chiren. Usually yes, if parents match their children, this child will be upset and do not have the spirit of life. Lah you! Even very happy. You don't want to go to college first, do you?”
“I want. But the problem is my father was very keen to marry me to that man. That man's age is very much adrift with me. But he's really handsome! And you know who that guy is?”
Janetha shook her head with a very curious look. “Who is he?”
“He is President of Blackfire Company!”
Janetha is soaring. “Ma—you mean, son of the great lord Zian Rodderick? If not mistakenly his name is Mr Gala Zayn Rodderick!”
“Right! He is my future husband.”
“Gosh!” aghast. “You're very lucky Chiren. Mr Gala is the dream of all women on earth!”
“But he said Kak Gala does not want to marry because he has had a future wife,” Chiren said with a disappointed face.
“What? Has your matchmaking been cancelled?”
“No!” smile back.
“Then?” Janetha is confused.
“Says I'll be betrothed to her sister, Brother Leon.”
The deg!
Janetha's sharpness suddenly turned tangled. It was on his face if he looked unhappy when Chiren said his last words. “K—kak Leon?”
“Iya. Nothing, although not so married to Kak Gala, but there is still a younger brother who is not less handsome and cool like Kak Gala.”
Janetha's heart was broken. The expression that had once looked happy, now turned sour instantly. Obviously because his lover is the same person, who will be the husband of his best friend. Like a sharp knife, Janetha's heart was torn deeply but not bleeding. Unwitting Janetha, the tip of her eye had let out a clear liquid.
“Janetha? Why are you crying?” ask Chiren.”
“Hiks .. hiks .. a—I'm very happy. Hiks .. hiks,” as you like.
“Uhhh Janetha,” hugs her best friend. “You are very crybaby.”
“I'm moved because you're getting married,” wiped her tears. “Ohya, Chiren .. I have to go somewhere. Can you drop me off here?” janetha Pinta.
“Loh, where are you going? You haven't told me who your girlfriend is, Jan!”
“Later. I'm in a hurry, Ren, Later yes,” Janetha said.
“Good then. But let me just take you.”
“Not need,” smile.
“Yakin?”
“Iya.”
Disappointed, Chiren told Mr. Driver to pull over the car and drop Janetha.
“Chiren, see you next week,” waves his hand.
“Good. You be careful yeah,” return Janetha's hand.
The two people were still staring at each other and waving their hands. Janetha still looked at the car that Chiren was riding in that had left her. His gaze was so empty. Her tears fell from the corner of her eyes.
“I ... hik .. hik,” sobbing. “But I am pregnant, the son of your future husband, Chiren!”
