"Are you sure of your decision?"
Amanda nodded without hesitation, and Jasmine could only exhale.
"Well, if you're sure of your decision. But have you thought about what risks you will receive later?"
Amanda nodded her head. "Yes, I know. I will definitely be a 'lips' and many will gossip and humiliate me. But I don't care, I'm sure I'll be strong against it, Jas."
"Now you can say that you are strong, but I am sure that it only looks outside, while deep down, you will experience inner pressure, and you are also not stupid, to mean that such a thing is not good for your content.Ok you feel strong and can get through it, but what about your child later? They will be gossiped later, and it will definitely affect your child's physiology" Jasmine explained at length.
"So what should I do, Jas?" Amanda pulled her own hair, frustrated.
Jasmine seemed to be thinking. He took a deep breath, then exhaled it out loud and a little long. " Look it, it's good that you moved the contract, a little far from here." suggested Jasmine.
"But what about my job? this place is very close to our workplace, right? if I move, the distance to work will be very far, Jas." Amanda refused.
"Who said you're still working. You, inevitably have to resign, Nda! gradually people in the office will also be suspicious of your situation, and I can make sure that you will also be fired later, because it is considered to bring disgrace in the office."
"So if I don't work anymore, how can I support myself and my baby, Jas?" Amanda's cheeks were wet again, as her tears were seeping out again.
"You, can open a small business, Nda, selling cakes for example. Or you can open another business."
"But, it takes a capital Jas, and I don't have enough capital for it." Amanda shook her head, deeming Jasmine's suggestion unreasonable.
"For capital let me think about it, you take it easy!" firmly Jasmine.
"But, Jas, I don't ...."
"There's no but-but. If you want to keep this child, and want the best for them, you must follow my words! Now you rest and calm your mind! I'm leaving first, "Amanda can only be silent, can't say anything else, because it would be very difficult to refute Jasmine. He could only stare at Jasmine's back for not long, disappearing behind the door.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The taxi carrying Jasmin stopped in front of a gold-painted mansion. With courage and determination, Jasmine stepped steadily and stood right before the gate.
"Non Jasmine, are you home yet?" deftly a security guard ran and opened the gate to his young lady who had very rarely returned home. While Jasmine simply smiled as an answer to the security guard's question.
"Sir Karso, are mama and papah inside?"
"There, Non," said the security guard named Karso politely.
"Yes! I'll go inside first sir! Jasmine stepped inside after Mr. Karso nodded his head, assuring.
"Mah ... Pah .. I'm home!" it's coming from the door.
He got up from his seat and approached Jasmine and invited her to sit down. "Udah, you don't have to care about your papah. Papah you are a pride aja digede-gedein, but only yesterday he ngigau call your name," Ratna's eyes mamahnya Jasmine, glanced at the husband, with a soft smile that appeared at the corner of his lips.
"What's wrong?you go home for sure because there is something, there is no way you go home if there is nothing you need." Johan papah Jasmine said to the point, no matter his wife's innuendo.
Looking at the cold attitude of her papa, I really want Jasmine, to move from the house where she grew up this.However, remembering Amanda's sad face, made her try to hold back while sighing long enough.
"Well, Dad! this time please help Jasmine! I will obey all the wishes of Papah and Mamah, if Mamah and Papah want to fulfill Jasmin's request" Jasmin opened his voice.
"Do you know the consequences, if you ask Papah for help?" johan's voice sounded very cold, his gaze could not even be separated from the newspaper in front of his eyes.
Jasmine nodded her head while biting her upper lip. "Yes, Pah! Jasmine knows,"
Johan closed the newspaper he was reading and put it on the table. "Good, if you know. Now what do you need to help?"
Jasmine adjusted her breathing for a moment, then exhaled her breath violently into the air. "Well, Jasmine needs money to help Jasmine's friend who needs money for her mother's treatment, does Papah want to help?" jasmine said, lying.
"Oh my God, forgive me for lying! hopefully my lies don't make Amanda's mother really sick, God, Amen." Inwardly.
"What friend asked you?"
Jasmine shook her head, answering her papa question.
"He doesn't even know that I have rich parents, he said, if I'm just like him who just can eat, must work hard first." said Jasmine, honestly.
Johan frowned, then raised the glass containing coffee then sipped it and then put it back.
"All right! papah will love. But that means you have to go home again, and want to be betrothed to Ardan."
Jasmine closed her eyes at a glance with a breath, she nodded her head."Okay Pah!" jasmine was determined by his decision.
"Is he curious about your friend, how good he is, so much that you want to help him?"
Jasmine suddenly got up from her seat and immediately sat down beside her papa.
"Well, please don't tell him this matter.He doesn't know anything. If Papah tells him, our agreement is void, and I will not be willing to be betrothed to the ice man." threatening Jasmine, convinced that the papa will fulfill his request, he said, because he did not want to refuse to be betrothed and run away from home again. Well, all this time, no one knew whether it was Amanda or Lora and Radit, that Jasmine was the daughter of Johan Mahendra, a wealthy businessman, which if sorted the richest person number 3 in Indonesia and number one of course Bagaskara company, belongs to the Ardan family.
"No will! you just calm down. The important thing is that you don't break your promise." Firmly Johan with a faint smile that appeared on his lips.
"Hopefully I will be strong, face the cold. Or if I may, hopefully the cold one will refuse this match." Jasmine whispered her prayers and hope in heart.
