Such a beautiful night, the rain that fell gave a very interesting tone. Striking the rain fell to the earth and soaked the whole inside, on the way home Jeslyn was determined to tell his feelings to the man who was now busy driving beside him.
Nervousness and fear continued to cover his body, he knew what he would get if he dared to express his feelings and now he was ready to accept all the answers of the man. Because he was sure the answer would make him slowly forget.
" Mr. Andreas...?" It looks like Jeslyn wants to start a conversation.
" yeah?"
" I want to talk to you about something important" said Jeslyn managed to make Andreas a little jolted, as if he could read Jeslyn's mind suddenly his busy hand was clutching tightly.
" My Mr. Andreas..."
CITTT!
" What's wrong sir?" jeslyn asked in surprise because suddenly Andreas stopped suddenly.
" I'm sorry there was a cat in front of me" Andreas replied lying. Because actually he wanted to divert Jeslyn's conversation
Andreas re-started his car and plugged the gas at medium speed. Andreas was really in a daze if only the woman beside him would express his feelings what should he answer? Because honestly, there is no subtle reject because if our feelings are rejected then all the ends are the same, namely heartache.
" Mister Andreas I want to say something,"
" Yes just say it!"
" Since I met you I've felt this feeling. I don't know why I can have this feeling for you, now that I realize maybe because you're always with me, your little attention has made me fall in love. I haven't seen a man like you in a long time, maybe that's why I have this feeling for you" Jeslyn said, holding back all her nervousness. Andreas can only hear and focus on driving.
" Mister Andreas you're right I love you.."
Deghs
Andreas flinched hearing Jeslyn's expression. Suddenly the car stopped by the side of the road, Jeslyn glanced at Andreas as seen from his shocked face.
" Mr. Andreas...?"
Andreas stared at Jeslyn seriously making his heart beat very fast. The whirring of the rain falling to the ground produced a melodious sound, Jeslyn felt the man's face growing closer and closer the two eyes slowly closing as the man's face approached. Can Jeslyn feel the breath touching his nose, if anyone sees them surely think Andreas will kiss Jeslyn, he said, but right in front of those lips suddenly Andreas stopped and stared at those beautiful closed eyelids.
" I did all this to all the women of Jeslyn," The two eyes slowly opened, Jeslyn gasped in shock at Andreas' speech.
" Do you understand my words? It's not just you that I treat like this. All Women! I'm being sweet to all women including you" Jeslyn's tears just escaped, an answer she never thought possible was on the man's lips.
Jeslyn was wasting her breath heavily, her heart breaking to the brink. He was ready to get repulsion but if the repulsion even made him fall he could not hold back his crying anymore.
" I'm sorry Jeslyn may have been of more concern to me. But Jeslyn forgets me and is looking for a man who really loves you sincerely, I've never been serious about anything including relationships,"
" I consider you my brother. Because it's today I want to share a story with you," continued Andreas even though he knew he did not get an answer from the master. Andreas let out a heavy breath and looked at Jeslyn. " I've had feelings like you. Even our relationship was very good, but that's why she chose to marry someone else." Jeslyn slightly gasped at Andreas' words.
" Dad Jeslyn I love her very much loved her. Even up to this moment I can't forget every time I meet a woman I just want to play with her no more, therefore I ask you not to expect more from me. You're a good woman because I don't want to hurt you" Jeslyn cried loudly there. His heart, thoughts and feelings were broken, Andreas who saw that could only shut up and let the woman cry beside him.

Since that night Aisyah, Devan and Andreas no longer meet with Jeslyn. Even Ayesha continued to visit the Jeslyn residence but still there was no master there, making Ayesha worried as well as Andreas. Andreas really felt guilty his mind still could not understand there was a sense of loss and there was a sense of indifference, but reality forced him to understand that the departure of Jeslyn was because of him.
Inside Aisyah's room was still crying at the thought of Jeslyn's state, but her phone suddenly rang. Aisyah spontaneously picked up the phone when she saw Jeslyn's name on her phone screen.
" Jeslyn where have you been? Why did you suddenly disappear?" ayesha was worried and angry with Jeslyn
[Aisha I'm sorry for not telling you. But you don't have to worry I'm okay. I just need some time to myself] Jeslyn said
" Are you okay? That night did he really reject you?"
[Hahah what else Aisha. We both know that I'm going to clap one hand, if I'm being honest I'm not okay. But you don't have to worry that everything will be fine]
[Don't tell anyone. I am now at my grandmother's house, I want to give myself a chance to rest]
" Jeslyn, if you go, how will I go?"
[You already have a husband who loves you so much Aisyah. Be happy when things get better I'll be back]
" but..."
[I love you Ayesha, thank you for being my friend. I'm leaving first, Assalamu'alaikum]
" Jeslyn..."
Tut_tut_tut
The phone call ended. Aisyah really felt lost, this was the second time she was abandoned by her best friend. Soon Devan came and immediately hugged his wife tightly when he found out his wife was crying. " What's the matter why you're crying?"
" Jeslyn... D_he left me,"
" How can it be? what's going on?"
" I don't know..." Devan stroked his wife's shoulders trying to give her some calm. Jeslyn's departure and Andreas' change of silence can be sure that this has something to do with Andreas.
After Aisyah calmer Devan went to meet Andreas, seen on the balcony that Andreas who was standing saw the scenery below.
" What have you done to that woman?" Andreas bowed his head he could recognize the owner of the baritone voice.
" What do you mean?"
" Let's not pretend you don't know. Jeslyn's departure I'm sure you're involved" Devan said
" Why is every woman in contact with me? If he leaves then what's my fault?" Now the voice began to rise
" The last one with him was you Andreas,"
" I was with him that night and that was because of your orders. I'm setting it home isn't it on your orders Mr. Devan,"
" Yes that night he expressed his feelings to me. But I refused it. No, I didn't turn it down, I just told him that all the attention I did was given to all the women including him" Devan was shocked to hear Andreas' words.
" What are you doing? Are you aware of your words Andreas?"
" Of course, I just wanted to make him aware that I never liked him" Jawed with both hands started to clench perfectly. Devan took a deep breath and threw it away slowly.
" If you don't like it, you can refuse it. Is it because that woman is your attitude to be this kind of bastard, huh?"
" Shan!"
" Andrew!" Shouted Devan with a sharp gaze piercing the eagle netra.
" You can't forget him because you can't forget the betrayal he committed on you. Realize Andreas you also lost Jeslyn, when he left your attitude instantly changed you can't stop forgetting Jeslyn,"
" Enough Devan. Stop meddling in my personal affairs!" andreas' screams managed to make Devan gasp in shock.
" After 2 years of leaving you, the woman you love is married to another man. And now there's a woman who sincerely loves you You let go just like that? Ever since he came into your life everything in your life has changed, you look so cheerful, you look so happy, you can share your story with him but why are you so stupid can't tell which ones are sincere and which ones aren't!"
" After I say this it's up to you to do what. If you're sorry don't ever come to me!" Devan hurried away leaving Andreas who was now speechless after hearing all the scorn of his master to him. Devan's words actually slapped Andreas, which he thought of when Devan said it was just Jeslyn, a smile, a laugh, their togetherness. Andreas was completely lost in his life.
