THORNS IN MARRIAGE
CHAPTER 60 - I'M 'BACK'
My footsteps slowed somewhat as the factory building got closer.
Duh! Koq deg-degan gini huh!? Would it get hotter if I came back there? But..., I have to solve my problems that hang on to Mas Jonathan and also Jordan!
Hhh... Bismillah. Good intentions. God will surely be spared! Aami...
The image widened his eyes.
"Sister Liana? Sister Liana is home! Boss Gegeee! Boss Gegeee, Booss!!!"
I was surprised to see Ms Citra's hysterical response.
"Liana!!!"
"Mama...Tiur!?"
Feeling-ku's right. Mas Jordan's mother now lives in a factory.
He came down the stairs quickly. And...
My heart is like racing against time. A bit tense worried about being treated no longer well by him. But I was prepared for all possibilities.
"Liana! Liana, where have you been?"
I stood trying to calm down.
He grabbed my shoulder. And hugged him tightly.
"Alhamdulillah! You're finally home, Liana!"
The voice I had memorized was right the owner was heard from upstairs making me look back at him. Jonathan stood tall with his soothing smile.
"Mama, how's Jordan doing?" I asked him directly.
"Jordan, now resting in his room after a two-day rampage you disappeared. But slowly things are getting better, Liana!" mama Tiur replied with a trembling voice.
It seems like this time he started to accept me again with sincerity. Because I felt the thrill of his heart being so happy that I was back home.
"Mr...! Forgive Liana, leave without saying goodbye and disappear without any news!" I said while kissing the back of his hand.
"Yes. Hapemu was dead all along. Genta even wanted to leave as well. But Gege banned it because sure, you must have come home!" hatch Mama.
Mas Jonathan who had been beside him immediately rubbed the tip of my head with a sigh of relief.
"Basic naughty! Go without saying! Escape from the house! Whose teaching is that?" he said in a joking tone as his wide smile made me instantly slam into his warm embrace.
Jo is like a big brother to me. Really this comfortable feeling is due to the nature of snacking and the maturity of his gentlement attitude.
"Mas! Sorry..."
"Welcome home, my beautiful sister!"
I smile. Happy but confused. Mas Jo said a sentence that tickled the ears.
My beautiful sister? A sister? Is... Did he...
Hm.
I hugged him not long. Because now my arms fall on Mama Tiur's crazy body.
"Jonathan and Jordan will work together to take care of this factory! Yuk?! You must be hungry and have not eaten!"
I'm nodding.
Jo smiled at our closeness. May his heart be relieved, I am back.
"Sister!!!"
I was shocked, Genta's screams deafening.
My sister immediately hit me and cried without shame again.
"Where are you? How could you leave me! Hik..."
I am honestly moved. But my lips laughed with a grin as they said, "Genta come to your senses! Your age is grown. Why look like a Kindergarten child who is very afraid of being left by his brother just like that? Hehe..."
"Basic! You are, Brother! Think it's brain use. Don't wear a snoring and play blur just like that! You're the childish one, you know!?"
I patted her wide shoulder. Little laugh while saying sorry, because it has made him so worried.
"Don't be like that anymore, you know? You can get a pay cut because alpa didn't get into work without permission!"
"Hehehe...! Aye!"
Mama and Jonathan smiled at our closeness. It's a bit lebay. But this is how it is.
Our brotherly relationship is very close. Because of circumstances that make us like sticking to each other.
It was stretched when I got married and Genta refused to come to live with me and Irsyad on the grounds of wanting to be independent.
But instead Genta becomes mismatched and mired in the wild bachelor life. Online gambling and games enthusiast.
"Liana!!!"
I came back surprised. Jordan looked at me. His face was deathly pale, his gaze sharply piercing the heart.
"Jordan!"
Our eyes stared at each other. Later then...
"Liana! Pardon...! Because of me, you're leaving! Sorry...!"
Jordan lowered his head. Red eyes. Lips vibrate.
"I'm wrong, Jordan! I'm.wrong. I'm sorry to you, too, to Jonathan!"
Jordan held my one hand. Then took it off again after his eyes were rubbed with the eyes of Mas Jonathan.
We sat together at the dining table. It turns out that Mbak Citra has served heavy food even though it was only six o'clock less before Maghrib.
"We are fasting sunnah today, Liana!" mama Tiur said as if I could guess the way my mind was confused because it was not time for dinner.
"Oh, yes. Excuse me... Liana apologized to everyone especially Mama Tiur because Lian had already made a scene!"
"We closed the black sheets in the past. Let's open a new page. Hows it? Lianas? Gege's? Jordan's? Genta, Citra?"
We all nodded. Smiling while saying hamdalah especially after azan maghrib reverberated from the mosque toa not far from the factory location.
Alhamdulillahot... Thank you God for all your blessings and kindness.
