The Marriage Tragedy Mixed
Chapter 61. Introduced To Jovan's Parents.

Finally, Jovan can take Jana to a comfortable place to chat. At the rooftop cafe of a five-star hotel in Central Park.

Both of them enjoyed the view of Manhattan that night with a beautiful sea of light. Of course, this is the right time for Jovan to express his long-held intentions to Jana.

Jovan gripped Jana's palm tightly. "Jana .. I've been thinking about this for a long time. I think tonight is exactly right if I take my intentions to you."

"What, the hell, Mas?"

Jovan took a deep breath. Gathering his courage to say something that became his dream to Jana.

The young man reached into his jacket pocket and took out a small red velvet box. He opened it in front of Jana. A beautiful sapphire-eyed ring. "You want to, don't you, marry me?"

Jana looked at Jovan's pair of shady eyes that looked solemn. "Here, you're not kidding anymore, are you, Mom?" tanyanya.

"I look like I'm kidding, huh, Jan?" jovan's Kekesh. He tried to throw away the tension.

"Why suddenly propose? No dating."

"Yes, just date her later if you accept me."

Jana speechless. There was actually nothing else Jana was waiting for. He could have agreed to Jovan's proposal. But his heart still hesitated. He still had not established himself to accept the young man's love. Especially accepting his proposal.

"I love you, Jana. I'm willing to wait until you open your heart for me. But, marry me, yes. I will make you the happiest woman in the world" said Jovan.

To be honest, Jana wanted to laugh at Jovan's serious-sounding words. The reason, this time he saw Jovan this formal.

"How's tiara? I've been fucked, too, tuh, the same girl as you," Jana quipped, reminding Jovan of the events of that time.

"Where am I sleeping with him" protested Jovan.

"Well, that's it, he's in your apartment again!"

"He came by himself. I'm staying asleep. My room's key so he doesn't fuck me."

Jana spouted her laughter looking at Jovan's spoiled expression. "You want to wear something" he said.

"No, I do!"

"No need to refuse" jana.

"If you're the one who fucks me, I don't refuse."

Jana rolled her eyes while pursing her lips.

"Where, Jan? Accepted, no?"

Jana breathed heavily. Should he just agree. After all, Jovan has proven to him that he really loves himself.

"I'm .. willing." Jana said with weight.

Jovan smiles happily at Jana's answer that he did not expect. He thought, Jana will ask for some time to think about it.

"Thank you, Jana." Jovan kissed the back of Jana's hand many times. Then he pinned the pink-eyed sapphire ring on the girl's ring finger.

Jana smiled thinly. Never mind, maybe this is the best. He also feels tired if he continues to live alone. Having a husband means that he can share his burden on someone. He'll have a friend tell him a story before he goes to bed, and he'll feel protected.

Although deep down, Jana was still hesitating. I don't know what made him feel. What might be because the taste for Joshua had not completely disappeared from his heart.

After the proposal that night, Jovan insisted on introducing Jana to her parents living in Washington. Jovan said his family had been immigrants since the nineties.

Both of Jovan's parents welcomed Jana well. They are friendly and pleasant people. That's what Jana caught when she just set foot in their sizable and luxurious home, in an elite housing complex in suburban Washington DC.

However, Jana believes, they will change their minds when they start to engage in deeper conversations with her. Jovan is their only child, and of course they want to get the perfect daughter-in-law.

"Where do you live in Manhattan?" Irina, Jovan's mother, begins questions about Jana's life.

"In Harlem, Aunt."

"Oh, Harlem." Irina nodded, then threw a glance at the husband sitting next to her.

"Where's the work?" Now it's Doddy's turn, Jovan's father asks.

"At the restaurant has a theme, Om."

"Oh, as?"

"That's all about it, Om."

Doddy nodded. "Have you lived in Manhattan for a long time?"

"It's been almost two years, Om."

"Ultimately, decided to netap in America, why?" ask Irina.

"Ult ...." Jana threw a glance at Jovan. The young man seemed to understand what Jana was thinking. Jovan nodded, as a sign that he allowed Jana to continue the story. "Jana join the husband .. emm .. ex-husband, Aunt."

"Oh, have you ever been married?" Irina looked surprised to hear Jana's story.

"Yes, Aunt." Jana feels the change in facial water of Jovan's parents who were once friendly, now become a little gloomy.

Ah-of course. No matter how long they live in a country with a different mindset, they are still Indonesians who are still based on eastern customs. Or on the rules of seedlings, bebet, weights, in finding a mate for their child.

"It looks like your parents don't agree, deh, Mas," said Jana. He and Jovan were at a hotel in downtown Washington DC. It was Jana's idea, because it was not nice to have to stay at Jovan's parents' house, while their attitude changed slightly after knowing its origin.

"No, they are not papa, really," Jovan entertained. In his heart he was doubtful.

"I was a young widow. They must be thinking macem, huh."

"Widows are more seductive, you know?!" Jovan raised his eyebrows, teasing Jana who was lying next to him.

"What, anyway, Mas? I'm serious, um!" rutuk Jana sebal's.

Jovan chuckles. He grabbed Jana's head and buried it in her firm chest. "I'm going to marry you anyway" he said.

"Would it be with the parents' blessing, Mas. Especially mother."

"Yes, right, we don't know yet, my mom does approve of anything. You, tuh, mostly thought nothing." Jovan ruffled Jana's hair in a fit of rage. "Where do we think that yes. I mean, do the right thing, do it?"

Jana's eyes are rounded. He withdrew from Jovan's embrace and restrained the young man's chest. "What do you want?" tanyanya.

"Why do you try?" Jovan's smile fell on his lips.

"Eh! Mas, what's the matter?" Jana's still holding Jovan's chest. The young man tried to bring his face closer to Jana's face.

"What's up?"
