90 Days Pursuing My Husband's Love

With Jack (Chapter 59)

Morning's....

I was sitting in the front yard of the house, looking at Andreas who was exercising by lifting the barbell and occasionally jumping. The body of the man I've always seen wearing a shirt, today for the first time I saw him wearing a football shirt with the emblem of a famous football club.

He looked so different than usual. Today, I can see the other side of the man that was in my heart long ago.

"Why?" Andreas asked with a wave of his hand towards me.

I just shook my head.

"If you want to hug, wait for me to finish bathing. If it still smells cool now." Tempted Andreas by pinching my nose.

"Aduuuhhh early in the morning has been treated to the sight of bucin couples. What is my day that is just a single person." Said Angelica suddenly coming in her sportswear.

Looks like Angelica just got home jogging. His forehead was still wet from sweat.

"Have breakfast?" Angelica asked me, I just answered with a headband.

"Sister, dong dong sportanya. It's time for breakfast. Poor Velicia. I'm also a very laper." Said Angelica who made Andreas stop the action lifting the barbell.

"All right, let's go inside." Andreas then walked over to me.

Without cue, Andreas immediately carried my body. I was shocked that her treatment could only close my eyes. While walking behind us Angelica who continues to mutter unclear.

After a while of cooking, Andreas came out of the kitchen with fried rice and beef-eye eggs. He patiently bribed me. This again made Angelica protest.

"Could not, you both reduce your romanticism in front of me. For a long time I want to cry if this continues. What if you are married? Could-can me.... Ahhhh...." Angelica's words came to a halt as Andreas kissed my cheek. "Yes Andreaaass..." Shouts Angelica.

For a moment I felt my face not stiff. My lips want to smile. My voice is not going out yet.

After I finished breakfast I sat in the family room watching television while waiting for Andreas and Angelica who both went to clean themselves. I focused on a story that explained the arrest of several people who were suspected of bullying me.

There were about two dozen people lined up against the camera screen wearing all-orange clothes. I remember the faces of the people who hurt me that day. My hair was goosebumps when I remembered the incident.

I was surprised when suddenly Jack came in front of me and hugged me tightly. There was Jack's voice. I wanted to calm her down, but my voice was completely unfriendly. And all I can do is stroke his back.

"I'm sorry, I'm really a bad brother. I failed to protect you. I'm not a good brother." Isaac Jack.

If I could talk I'd tell him, 'Jack, you're the best brother the world has ever seen. No matter if there is no blood relation between us, you always make me feel like a lucky little sister to have you as a big brother.'

When Andreas came downstairs and found Jack sitting with me, Andreas explained my situation to Jack.

"I've taken care of everything. All those who harassed him have been arrested by the police and will soon be processed legally. But, I don't have any evidence of Velicia's disappearance on the wedding day. Whether it was because of being kidnapped by Arnold or not. I lost track. And who can answer everything, as you can see. She's so traumatized she can't talk." Andreas.

The two men looked at me. Jack tells Andreas that he will take me to Mama and Papa's grave.

"I'll take him to Mama and Papa's graves. Do you want to come?" Ask Jack.

"I can't. I still have to take care of everything to the police station. Besides, I also have to go to the hospital to ask for pain medication for him." Reply Andreas.

The amount of medication I need to take increases. Besides I still have to keep taking post-operative cancer drugs and various vitamins. This time, I also had to take anti-depressant medication.

"Please take care of him for me." Andreas said to Jack.

"of course. He's my brother." Reply Jack.

******

Now, I'm in front of Mama and Papa's belly button. If I usually come to complain and even always cry if visiting here. Today, there are no more tears or complaints that I can say directly. I can only say it from the heart.

"Son Velicia!" Greeting the grave guard.

'Well, Pah...

I came to see you guys in this situation. I can't be what Papa wants me to be. I have tried my hardest to be a brave, strong and unyielding woman. In my deepest heart, I seem to be able to do everything. But my body said something else. My body I can't control anymore. My body seems tired. Tired of always being hurt by bad people...

Mah, Dad...

I will always try to be what you want me to be. Merely, it seems like my body needs time to gather all that courage. But I promise you, that I will always be as tough a woman as Papa wants me to be.'

Jack came back and asked me to go to the gravekeeper's sack. We ended up sitting, in a saung with quite sunny weather this morning. Or at least hotter than usual.

Jack went back to the car to get me some mineral water. He left me sitting together with the gravekeeper's grandfather.

"Velicia how are you?"

As usual, my lips could not be made friends. I can't answer Grandpa's question.

The old man sounded a long sigh.

"You must have remembered that grandpa told you that one time. As humans, we certainly do not escape the name of trials. Every day there are various problems that we have to face in life, ranging from family problems, problems with friends, problems at school or at work, to financial problems.

Sometimes these problems come over into our lives, and make us feel tired of dealing with them. Whether we like it or not, we have to face this problem. Because running away or avoiding problems is not a good solution." Said the grandfather who was always dressed all in black.

Jack came back with mineral water and gave it to me.

"Drink first." Jack.

"What are you guys..."

"I'm her brother." Jack interrupted my grandfather's words.

The three of us were silent for a while, feeling the hot air blowing against our faces.

"Always Grandpa tell you Velicia. God never gives trials beyond the limits of ability. Although problems come and go in your life as if there is no end, and you feel that you can no longer face the trials. Never give up! Because you are able to face it. Always remember that God never gives trials beyond the limits of his servant." Grandpa said again.

"What he said was true Velicia. And you have to remember that there are always people who love you. I know, often trials that feel heavy, even make us desperate in living it. But before that despair makes you do stupid things, remember that there are people out there who love you.

Even though Mama and Papa are gone, there's still me your sister, your friends, Merry and Angelica. You also have Andreas now that man loves you very much. And we will always be there for you. With all of us you can share your burden, if you feel that burden is too heavy for you to carry yourself." This time it was Jack who started talking while continuing to rub my head gently.

"Never forget that God is always there whenever you need His help." Reply to the grandfather. "Sometimes all the effort we have done, but we still cannot get a way out of our problems. At times like this, despair and giving up are not the answers. Try to surrender and leave all the burdens to your God creator. Prostrate before Him, and pray for His guidance. Remember that God is always there whenever you need His help."

Even though I was so touched by every word the old man said, but still my mouth would not open to speak. I've even tried to say something. But my mouth seemed to have been given a very strong glue.

"Do you often feel that the trials of life that come to you never break up? Never give up! Don't you know that nothing is eternal in this world? So too with your problems. Because every problem must have a way out, as long as you keep trying to find it. Giving up will never solve your problems.

Remember, patience is always sweet. As a human being who every day must always face the problems and trials of life, of course sometimes you feel tired. But be patient, face all the trials with patience. One day all your patience and fortitude in the face of these trials will surely produce sweet results.

At that time all your tired and your tears will pay off, and you can smile. Stay upbeat, Velicia." Grandpa said as he rubbed my head and it felt like he was blowing my crown.

Jack finally said goodbye to the old man. Before we go. The grandfather said, if I came back later to visit Mama and Papa's tomb, I would have already become someone much stronger.

Jack drove his car out of the cemetery. Along the way, he kept me chatting even though I never rubbed him at all.

"Keep trying to talk. I saw a change in your face. Try to get back to us. At least think about Andreas, the man you love. Pity him for marrying the statue." Jack teased me.

'Ah, that's right too. Right now, I don't look like a statue.'
