When My Husband Changed
24. Starting a New Sheet

"Jen, are you kayaking that mess anyway? From earlier brother noticed, you were kind of nervous. Not usually to roll on the sofa that," asked Keenan astonished to see the behavior of his sister who looked so riled.

"Huh ... " Jenny let out a long sigh and then her eyes turned to look at the sister's face with tears. "Sir, Meyra kak .. hiks ..." sobs Kenny.

"Mayira?" alias Keenan shrivels. "Why Meyra? Did something happen to her?" ask Keenan curiously.

"No, I don't know, but Meyra hasn't been to school in a week" Jenny said.

"Why didn't he come to school?"

"I don't know, Brother. Jenny had tried to go to the store where her mother worked, but the store employee said, Meyra's mother had also not come to the store this week. Jenny's worried about something happening to them huh, sister!"

"Hush, don't think about it! Pray they're okay."

"Where not to think, sister, Jenny also had a long story about Meyra and her mother last week, uh tomorrow until today, Meyra and her mother disappeared."

"Have you tried calling her number?"

"Udah, but the number is off." Jenny seemed to pout thinking about where Meyra and her mother were now.

"You think it's a real pity like that kid?" Jenny nodded because she loved Meyra as much as her own child even though Jenny herself did not have children and a husband.

"Jenny loved Meyra, just like Jenny loved Deenan."

"Maybe they have some urgent business, Jen, so they suddenly disappear. You just pray they're okay." That back is only taken by Jenny.

"Yes sir, yes, a little to the right, sir. Well, it's fitting. Thank you sir! Now please bring this storefront inside, sir. This one's in the right corner. If this one's next to her."

"Good, Ma'am."

"Mbak, the equipment to make the cake has been arranged according to Mbak's orders. Anything else we should do?"

"Emmm .. I think it's all. Cashier computers, kitchen equipment already, tables and chairs already, storefronts for cake displays are also already. Ah yes, just wait for the careless florist again to come to be arranged in front of the store. While waiting for the florist, we eat first. Take another break first Mel, keep helping me arrange food for us to eat together."

"Good, Ma'am."

Tomorrow Zicka will start a new chapter in her life. Fortunately Zicka's penchant for making Meyra cakes inspired her to open her own business. So he can keep working while keeping Meyra. After being frustrated because all her job applications were rejected, Zicka thought about selling cookies. Mr. Eric once said that if Zicka wanted to go back to work at the hotel, then he would accept it with open arms. But is he capable of working one roof with Marcel, he thought. Maybe he died standing up, he thought because he often faced Marcel.

"Mr, Ms. Zicka .." call a woman.

"Oh yeah, what's up Mel?"

"That's it, the florist has come,"

"Oh yeah, I'll be out."

Zicka also arranged the flowers neatly according to the type and color. Zicka arranged it like a rainbow, mejikuhibiniu, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, color sequence, and purple makes the atmosphere of the cake and bakery shop looks very beautiful inviting enthusiastic visitors to come to the soft opening event, tomorrow.

"Excuse me ..."

"Emmm ... mbak Zicka is not there?"

"Sorry madam, Ms. Zicka has been more than 1 week not entered work. "

"If you may know, why didn't Zicka go to work?"

"Again sorry Ma'am, we don't know either" said the store employee honestly.

"Oh then, thank you!" Jenny turned away from the shop where Zicka was working with a gloomy face

"Wait, miss," call Marvin.

"Yes, what's wrong?" jenny asked as she turned towards someone who called out to her.

"If you may know, why are you asking Zicka? Does Miss know him? Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Marvin, the owner of this store," Marvin said as he invited Jenny to sit on the front bench of the store.

"Oh, introduce me Jenny. Emm ... Look, I'm actually Meyra's teacher at the PAUD end there. It's been over a week that Meyra hasn't been to school without news so I'm worried about her. Do you know where they are or did something happen to them?" jenny asked with a gloomy face mixed in worry.

"Thank you Miss for worrying about them. Just like you, I worry about them too. I've been trying to find their home, but unfortunately their house has been sold," said Marvin with a sad face. Seen once, he was so worried about Zicka.

"It looks like you're pretty close to Zicka and Meyra huh! I've often seen you drop them off first."

"Hmmm .. Yeah, I'm pretty close. Because I am the sister of her ex-husband" said Marvin with a smile.

"Ah, so so. It's just worth it."

"It's actually also my fault that made him leave. Maybe he wants to avoid me." For some reason, Marvin suddenly unwittingly opened his story.

"Avoid? Wh why? " ask Jenny full of probes.

"Actually I have loved Zicka for a long time. Therefore, the other day I asked my mother's blessing to let me marry her. Oh, I'm sorry to confide in Miss," said Marvin felt wrong because he accidentally revealed his secret.

"Don't worry, I'm a good listener. Oh yeah, just call Jenny. No need ladies. If possible I'll also call you by your name, Marvin," said Jenny, who is only a Marvin.

"So, how's next? I'm sorry, if I'm getting a little cocky." said Jenny Kenny.

"Hmmm .. My mother disagreed. My mother was angry and rejected my wishes. Mama was against my intention to marry Zicka on the grounds that Zicka was Marcel's ex-wife. Mama is more concerned with what people say than her own child's feelings. Without us knowing it, all our talk was heard by Zicka who had just come home. Zicka has a lot of respect for parents, of course she will respect your mother's decision against me marrying Zicka."

"Does Zicka have the same feelings as you?" jenny asked, curious.

"Come on, I don't know. I'd love to ask him, too, but baby, he's gone before I can talk to him a lot."

"I understand how you feel. But you have to keep the spirit up, if Zicka is your soul mate, she will definitely come back to you. But if not, you have to let go. Not everything that we say is good for us is good for us because God knows better what is best for his servant" said Jenny wisely while patting Marvin's shoulder to make the young man flabbergasted.

"Thank you for listening to my complaint, Miss uh Jenny I mean. We just met, but I've talked to you a lot. I was surprised, I don't usually like this," said Marvin honestly.

"Oh yeah, I'm asking for your phone number, Jen! If I find Zicka and Meyra later, I'll call you."

"Oh yeah, good idea," Jenny agreed.

They exchanged mobile numbers.

"I'll go home first, Vin. Don't forget to let me know if you know where Zicka and Meyra are."

"Alright," answered Marvin briefly.
