CHAPTER 15

"Hi, dear," Daniel approached his wife and kissed her forehead. "Sorry I'm a little late. Are you done shopping?" her gaze was fixed on Jessica's already full shopping trolley.

"Jess, are you okay?" daniel asked again because his wife did not answer his question and instead looked dreamy. "What the hell is it?" he turned to the right and left looking for the cause of his wife's face is not as usual.

"Ah nothing," Jessica shook her head. "I'm just tired, driving around looking for this much souvenir. Let's go home yuk!" take Jessica with her while pointing her trolley at the cashier.

"You don't want to try the crab out front? My friend said crab up there is so good." Daniel joined his wife's shopping trolley and paid for it.

Jessica shakes. "I'm tired, Daniel," he lied, he didn't want to risk going back with Rey, so he chose to go home soon. 'Why is he everywhere like a ghost?' Jessica felt the world was so narrow, where she stepped unexpectedly there was Rey.

"Oh, we'll just go home." Daniel brought all his wife's groceries to the car, then they went straight home.

To be honest Jessica felt guilty for Daniel by pretending to be tired, so Daniel was the one who cooked their dinner and cleaned up his groceries. "You rest, baby. Let me do everything." Daniel kissed Jessica on the lips and rushed into the kitchen.

'You really messed up my day, Rey.' grumbled.

...****************...

The next day Jessica returned to Jakarta, she was forced to speed up her return because she got word that her mother's blood pressure was rising again.

Unfortunately Daniel was so busy that he could not take him to the airport, they separated in the apartment lobby. But no problem for Jessica to have to go to the airport by herself with a taxi, she really understands the busyness of her husband.

Everything went smoothly, he could check in to get on the plane without any obstacles. It's just that while on the plane he again met with Rey, and unfortunately he was next to the man he always wanted to avoid.

"You really are like a ghost" Jessica murmured.

Rey chuckles. "Maybe this is called a mate," he is increasingly twisted with his own words.

Rey's words did not really make Jessica interested in laughing, she turned to the right and left. "Where's your crew or your assistant? I don't want my face to suddenly go out in the media because of you."

"Nothing, I came and went home alone" he replied. "I'm filming an ad for a Japanese product, so they're setting up the crew."

"But usually your manager comes along."

"He's sick." Rey leaned her body towards the seat barrier and stared fixedly at Jessica. "You're getting pretty, Jessie."

Rey chuckles, without Jessica telling her she already knows. "I'm just saying you're pretty instead of asking you out, so where's the harm?"

Jessica exhaled her heavy breath, then turned to face Rey and looked at her sharply. "Rey, stop bothering me and never show up in my life again." Jessica lay down and pulled the blanket over her and covered her entire body.

"I didn't plan our meeting, but the universe. Maybe God wants us to solve our unfinished problems before we walk each other."

Solve problems?

Slowly Jessica reopened her blanket, then she sat down and took a bottle of mineral water, then drank it. "At that time I read the news online about your closeness to your co-star, at first I did not believe the news but seeing you in the interview and you peeked at her cheek makes me burn with jealous fire," he looked away when Jessica was still studying in America.

A very young age, a great distance, a great distance, as well as the negative news that continues to go back and forth in his social media about Rey makes him unable to stand it anymore and immediately cut his relationship with the man who has been his girlfriend for three years. Not only did Jessica decide unilaterally without listening to Rey's explanation but she also blocked all access to her communications with Rey.

Jessica feels Rey has betrayed the love and promises they have agreed to.

"You know Jess, when that interview my old manager was in front of me, he kept glaring and threatening me. He always says this for the sake of the soap opera rating I'm starring in." Rey rubbed his face violently, if at that time he did not have to pay his father's debts of course he would not do the cheap setting.

"My father's gambling debt is at 5 billion, and my mother is dying in the hospital from a heart attack. What can I do other than continue to raise the soap opera rating in such a cheap way?" rey's speech was sharp but he did not raise his tone at all. "The highlight was when I had to find additional funds for my mother's heart transplant, inevitably I accepted the offer of gossip if I impregnated the famous singer. But it didn't keep my mother alive, I not only lost my mother but also lost you."

Rey breathed her heavy breath. "The last year after my late father's debt was paid off, I changed management and I no longer want to play such a cheap setting. I want to be an actor who is known for quality and work not gossip."

Yes, it has been a year that Jessica no longer heard any rumors about Rey, but unfortunately she was engaged to Daniel, the man she met accidentally at the Indonesian embassy in America. At that time Daniel was handling the project in America and they celebrated Christmas together there.

The introductory process was so short, after returning to Indonesia they agreed to get engaged and a few months later married.

"I know I'm late to explain this to you, Jessie.."

"No, you're not late. I'm the one who shut down all access to communications so you don't have a chance to explain" Jessica said.

"You're not wrong, Jessie. I was wrong.." he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Jessica's face. Jessica retreated to avoid Rey's hand. "Let's make peace with our past that is past" he said.

"Yes, we walk in each other's lane without interrupting each other" Jessica continued.

The rest of their journey passed quietly without talking to each other.
