The magnificent house that looks so beautiful, but unfortunately not as beautiful as the owner of the house. His heart and soul seemed to wander in search of the whereabouts of his son and wife. Jordan had always thought so positively all along that he had not thought about what if it took him a long time to find Gaby and their child. In the early days of Gaby's pregnancy, she was so shaken that she did not know how to find Gaby's presence with a limp body and continued nausea. But when things got better, time had gone by for months. Gaby's tracks can't be traced anymore either. Plus Rendy who seems to play tricks on him.
On a quiet, dark night, Jordan is hugging Gaby tightly. That mountain longing really felt so painful that it felt like he was losing the will to live. Many times he tried to encourage himself by assuring his heart that one day he would definitely meet his son and wife. But alas, it all felt hard to be real and made Jordan lose his reason for staying alive. Luckily, at times like this, Ron was always there for him and kept encouraging him.
" Mister, I'm outside. If you need anything, please just call me. " Said Ron who is now standing in the doorway of Jordan's room that has no lighting at all. This is how Jordan punishes himself. Although he could not make her feel better, he tried every way to punish himself in his way.
" Hem.. " As usual, this is how Jordan who has been very quiet in recent years with a prolonged look of despair.
Ron nodded without saying anything more. In fact, not only was she there to cheer up Jordan's days, Lydia's mother and her younger sister Diana always came to accompany Jordan. But they could only return gloomily because Jordan always asked them to leave it alone.
It was familiar for Ron to sit on the sofa that was near Jordan's room. Not that there was no room, he was just too worried about Jordan. Just a little bit he heard Jordan's movements from inside the room, he would immediately get up to make sure Jordan's condition remained fine. Somehow Ron could be so sensitive these few years. He himself had no idea what the reason was so worrying about Jordan's plight. Though he himself was convinced that Jordan would not be possible to act rashly. However, the desire to meet his wife and child is still passionate for him.
" Mister, get up. It's been four years, sir. Rise up and get excited so you can find the whereabouts of your wife and child. " Ron murmured and then spread his body slowly staring at the ceiling until he began to sleep a long time ago.
Just a few minutes before Ron fell asleep, the sound of the phone shaking made him wake up. Ron rubbed his face and closed his eyes to see who was contacting him at this hour of sleep.
" What's up? " Task Ron after the phone call.
Sir sorry I interfered. But this is bad sir.
" why? "
Projects located in country A were forced to withdraw several months from the initial determination.
" What?! how come? shouldn't it be another month to finish? "
Sorry sir, a few hours ago there was a big earthquake. Some sides of the building collapsed and were badly damaged.
Ron let out a rough breath.
" I'll discuss tomorrow. But just in case, look for building materials that have better quality. And remember, build a building that is not easily collapsed by an earthquake. Youunderstand? "
Fine, Mister.
Ron rubbed his face rough. Honestly, he felt so tight because Jordan no longer had the spirit he used to have. Relying on Mother Lydia would be impossible.
" Mister, I can hardly wait. "
***
In the country A. Gaby and Ele ran out and away from the beach for fear that a big earthquake would cause a tsunami. Fortunately, only a small tsunami was far from home. Gaby hugged Ele tightly and kissed her head because a while ago she was very afraid that she would be separated from Ele.
" Mom, what was that? why is our house moving? " Tanya Ele plain.
" That's called an earthquake, baby. If one day there's another earthquake like this and Mom's not next to you, you have to run and get away from the beach, right? youunderstand? " Ele nodded in understanding.
" Ele! " The voice of a woman who is none other than Rose, Gaby's only neighbor and friend who is now walking quickly towards her while holding her two teenage sons.
" Oh my God, are you all right? I was so confused that I forgot about you and Ele. Forgive aunt, Ele? "
" It's okay, Rose. We're fine, that's the most important thing. And thankfully, you guys are fine too. " Talk Gaby gratefully.
" If I had Dad, I'd ask Dad to hit that earthquake and not let it bother us again. " Say Ele as she moves her hands to express her words.
Gaby and Rose were silent. Rose was in the same position. Every time his twin boys always ask about the figure of a father who was never there for them. And that's enough to make Rose overwhelmed even more so his two sons will have grown up and it's certainly difficult to lie.
Gaby rubbed Ele's hair and kissed her. She never talks about her father, but she is not ready, she is also afraid that Ele will force to meet her Father who has four years Gaby does not know the news about Jordan.
Jordan, did you know we had kids? our son is beginning to question you. How can I answer that? how am I supposed to tell those painful stories that we ultimately have to be here?
" Ele, don't talk about it anymore, okay? we better get back home now. We must continue to monitor the news about this disaster. "
" Aunty, doesn't Ele have a father like us? why didn't aunt answer Ele's question? "
" lao! " Bentak Rose who felt that one of her sons was already brash for questioning such a sensitive thing.
Gaby was silent for a moment and smiled at Leo and Deon.
" If you're all grown up, you'll understand why we, your aunt and mother chose to live here without the figure you're asking. "
Leo and Deon looked at each other in confusion. Although they look like they want to be more attractive to Gaby, but they undo their intentions because her mother is now glaring at her. Eventually Leo and Deon decide to return home while taking Ele along. Gaby and Rose are there.
" They're smart and very handsome kids, Rose. " Gaby said with a smile at the children who were starting to move away from her.
Rose was silent for a moment while holding back her cries.
" Yes, maybe so. At twenty-nine years of age, I had to bear this heavy burden myself. But I had no choice, because after all, my children should not know the ugliness of his father.
Gaby grabbed Rose's hand and held it tightly.
Seriate....
