The Second Ring

The Second Ring
Chapter Three Three Three


James has a problem at work. Because he often arrived late and often did not enter as well, he was eventually fired. Now James is unemployed and that pisses Lalisa off. Lalisa scolds James, asking James to find another job because it costs him to give birth. James and Lalisa are fighting.


"Enough, Lalisa. Stop babbling. I'm complaining to you not for you to tell me" James said resentfully.


Lalisa smiled wryly, "Hahhh .. (sighs) could-be you fired when all this time you never even once had a problem in the office. Think about how our fate will be. How is the cost of life, and the cost of giving birth to your child. Of course I'm angry, because I think about our son's life later" Lalisa said.


"I know, I know. So stop talking. I'll find another job and I'll get you some money. So can you shut up? otherwise I'll go and calm myself down outside" James said.


Lalisa raised her hand, "Give me some money. I have to go to the doctor for a checkup" Lalisa said.


James took out his wallet and gave Lalisa some money.


"So this is enough?" said James.


"Yes, I'm leaving!" lalisa. The one who went straight away left James alone in the apartment.


James rubbed his face rough. He sat down in the chair. His body feels weak. He himself does not know, why lately he continues to make trouble. James is not a slacker when it comes to work.


James stared at the living room ceiling, "Is it because I'm stressed, and I drink a lot, yeah.  My work at the office got messed up. How'this? What should I do if it's like this? Aaargggghh .. shit! Though I've worked hard and hard to get into the company." James' inner annoyance.


James took his phone out of his pocket. He contacted his friends to ask about job vacancies. It can't be unemployment, or Lalisa will grumble and piss him off half to death.


A few friends he called. In the company of his friends it is not opening a vacancy. James is also looking for job openings on the internet. There are some jobs that he is interested in. He intends to directly send a cover letter by email.

At Eric's house. Adelle and Eric take a walk in the front yard. Adelle felt comfortable, uadara in the area of Grandpa Kenzo's residence felt cool.


"Grandfather listen, you're done arranging the house. Is there anything you need?" ask Eric.


"Oh, yeah, Cake. Two days ago we finished it. There's nothing more we need, Grandpa. Thanks for the offer. We plan to move out after we get married. Do you want to look around our house?" ask back Adelle.


"Of course I have to visit the house of my granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law. Later if you guys are free. You're busy because the wedding day is near" said the Grandpa.


Adelle nodded her head. He followed Eric slowly. Eric stopped his steps, he said what the main reason to take Adelle for a walk and get out of the house.


Eric wants to give Jassper and Kenzo time to talk. Hearing Eric's reasoning, Adelle's forehead immediately wrinkled. Adelle had no idea what Eric was talking about. Adelle asks why Eric did it.


"I'm sorry if I misunderstood. Aren't they getting along?" ask Eric.


Eric nodded his head. It is the word Adelle.


"Why should Grandpa just let the two go? isn't Grandpa worried they're gonna fight?" ask Adelle.


"Eitherway. Hopefully their conversation ends without a fight. Don't you like Jassper?" eric looked at his son-in-law's grandson.


Adellw was silent for a moment. He doesn't know what to answer. Actually not the hate that Adelle felt, but rather annoyance. Adelle was honest about how she felt. If he doesn't kill Jassper. But the behavior and actions of Jassper can not be allowed and can not be forgiven just like that. Adelle even brought up Kenzo who was hurt by Jassper.


Eric laughed, "Hahaha .. Yes, you're right. He's a bitch, but he's actually the kid we need to have mercy on. If you knew what Jassper was going through, you would definitely think the same as Grandpa" Eric said.


"What does Grandpa mean?" adelle asked feeling that there was something strange about Eric's words.


"Later you'll know for yourself. Grandpa thought their conversation was over. We have been outside for too long. Come on, let's go inside." take Eric.


Adelle recited Eric's words and walked after Eric who had slowly stepped into the house.


***


Inside the house. The atmosphere was quiet and awkward. Adelle, Kenzo and Jassper were silent and just staring at each other. Eric who had previously gone to the reading room finally came out and joined the three in the living room.


"What's this about? why is it quiet at a funeral?" ask Eric.


Because it feels bad and awkward. Jassper decides to go back to his apartment. He said goodbye to Eric Kenzo and Adelle.


The behavior of Jassper when saying goodbye makes Adelle surprised. He almost mistakenly thought it was someone else and not Jassper. The jassper he met would be so pretentious and haughty as well sucks.


"What's wrong with her?" inner Adelle.


Just like Adelle, Kenzo was confused by Jassper's unusual attitude.  He does not understand the true purpose and purpose of Jassper. To melt the atmosphere, Eric asked about the wedding preparations Kenzo and Adelle. They were talking about marriage at the end.

Jassper arrived at his apartment. He smiled happily because his heart was relieved. Just as he entered his apartment, he fell silent when he saw the familiar shoes. Yeah, Papa's shoes. Jassper immediately turned around and wanted to get out of his apartment, but he was caught by his father.


"Where are you going? don't try to run away, Jassper" said Papa Jassper who was already standing behind Jassper.


Jassper trembled in fear and turned to face the Papa. Jassper. This time he did not know what his father would do.


Looking at his son who was about to run away, Papa Jassper grew even more furious. He immediately pulled the crate of Jassper's clothes and pulled Jassper into the living room. The Jassper's body immediately crashed onto the floor. Papa Jassper began to spout harsh and dirty words cursing at his own son.


"Where are you from?" papa Jassper asked.


"Ka-kakek's house." Jassper stammered. He was afraid that his father would hit him.


Platkk ....


One hard slap landed on Jassper's left cheek.


Platkk ....


One more slap on the other cheek. Papa Jassper pulled out his son's hair and warned him not to mess around.


Jassper was very caught. He held back his tears so as not to cry. He closed his eyes when he was beaten by his father. Jassper mustn't look weak, or his Papa will get even more crazy.
