"Hallo Dude."
After Andrew called Axel many times, Axel answered the phone. Andrew knew Axel was a busy man, just like him. But what is not liked by the nature of Axel is too confident, cunning and expensive selling.
"Sorry Mr. Axel, it's me Andrew."
"Ohh, Mr. Andrew. What about our cooperation? Do you approve? I'm sure you would have agreed. Because 50% isn't a little for you."
Ck, just talked about. Axel does have a basis of confidence that may have been ingrained.
"Sorry Mr. Axel, I did call because of the cooperation. It looks like I can't accept it" retorted Andrew who was still trying formally.
Andrew did not want to take any more wrong steps. Moreover, the position of Jea who is still depressed at the same time pregnant. What people say if Andrew gives up Jea is only because 50% of the shares will also be recaptured by Axel, if Andrew is caught off guard.
"What Dude? What is 50% less for you? Come on man, hand Kayla over to me! And I'll make sure you're still number one's richest man? How's it?"
Axel tried to bargain. Persuading also of course 50% is not a little thing, it's a tempting offer. Andrew was no longer tempted. Wh why?
"No, thank you Mr. Axel. It seems I am sorry, for having met you with my wife."
Guilt and regret are always present in recent times. But at least Andrew's trying to change it. Especially now, Andrew began to realize that he liked - Jelly-nya. Women who feel chewy if there is under it. Jea is too good for him.
"Why is that? Didn't you offer it yourself??Come on, 50% for you and your wife for me." Apparently Axel hasn't given up either.
Andrew has to be tough now. "No, Mr. Axel, she's my wife. I love her, so don't expect that cooperation again. For I will not accept it at any time" replied Andrew firmly, his jaw hardened for holding back emotions.
"It's okay, I'll accept your decision."
Behind that phone, Axel smiled cunningly. He had drawn up a backup plan, in case Andrew refused the cooperation. And now, it's time to use that backup plan. Maybe not now, more quickly.
"Thomas, get your men moving fast. Make no mistake;" Axel told his confidant. Thomas only nodded obediently and would definitely carry out the orders of the master.

Andrew was already wearing his black suit. Jea was still standing staring at the window. For almost two months now, they rarely have sex like a husband and wife. Maybe in a month just not up to 3 times to do it. Because since that depression, Jea has become more and more a quiet figure. His view is always empty. Andrew felt guilty, even Andrew had tried to find love in the iris of the eye. The result is still a blank stare.
Yesterday Parker's family's personal doctor suggested the two take a vacation. So, Andrew will prepare a schedule for his vacation day. Honeymoon count, as nearly 10 months of marriage. Andrew had never taken Jea on vacation.
"For mom..."
Andrew hugged Jea briefly from behind. Then Jea sat down on the edge of the bed. The young pregnant woman threw away her face, lazy if she had to meet Andrew. Her pregnant mother who stepped on 3 months is increasingly strange. Every time he saw Andrew's face, his stomach was always turbulent wanting to vomit there too.
It might have been too messy for Andrew to take a bath and change his clothes back, so for almost a month Jea was always throwing his face away when Andrew was nearby. The vomiting only happens every morning. And besides the morning, rarely did Jea find the nausea until the evening before. The important thing is, don't look at her husband's face.
Andrew's latest routine every morning is, stroking and talking to his wife's stomach that began to bulge a little. This activity, his hobby now. Because after doing so, his life became more vibrant. It feels more colorful than before.
"Daddy is leaving baby. Don't be naughty, don't bother mom, mmmuaaach." Andrew kissed Jea's stomach directly. Because Andrew had already picked up the dress that Jea was wearing.
Jea was silent, there was no response but silence and silence.
Andrew stood up, cupping Jea's cheeks. Giving a warm kiss to his wife's lips. Jea closed her eyes, feeling the sensation of a loving kiss given by Andrew. But forgive Jea for now, because Jea has not been able to return the kiss. Her heart still aches when she remembers Andrew's harsh treatment of her.
"Today I'm going home fast. At two o'clock get ready, I'll take you somewhere."
Jea blinked her eyes. Interested in the speech Andrew had just uttered.
"Where?" asked Jea without looking at her interlocutor.
"Where do you want to go? To the beach, the mountains or something?" Andrew made an offer.
Jea looks enthusiastic, looks like the beach is interesting. It had been a long time that his feet had not set in the sand of the beach that was so cold and pleasant for him
"I want the beach" replied Jea flat but with a smile that made Andrew pull his lips up.
Jea just nodded. The white rabbit is still the white rabbit, Jea is Jea. Even though his heart refused. But his body always obeyed and obeyed. It was already his habit of obedience, so it was a little difficult for him to rebel.
***
Two o'clock has arrived. As promised, Andrew will take Jea to the beach. All the needs of Jea and himself have been taken care of by Bimo. Maybe Andrew will be on vacation 3 days 3 nights. So that it is clearly remembered in his brain, where he had done honeymoon when almost a year married. Ck, silly indeed. Andrew is not like Andrew was. Jea really made her aware of love. But when Jea was asked about her love. Jea was always silent, not like before who always enthusiastically answered that she also loved Andrew. For now Andrew has it. Maybe Jea was too depressed living with her.
After nearly an hour of driving, they had finally reached their destination. Andrew deliberately drove himself. Although Roy and Bimo forbid it, but Andrew still forced. The will of the master is absolute, not to be denied. Inevitably, Roy and Bimo finally nodded resignedly. Letting the master go, just the two of you. If Andrew knew, both of them were very life-threatening for both.
Jea got out of the car with a beaming face. He ran small. Before running earlier, Jea took off her footwear and left in any place. After all, her rich husband, will definitely be bought again - without asking.
Andrew follows her from behind, just in case nothing happens with Jea and the baby of course. If that happens, Andrew will never forgive himself again.
"Jelly, slow down!" Andrew's advice when he saw Jea who was running faster.
"Aaaaaaaaaa....." Occasionally Jea screamed, as if his mind became plong alias relieved even though he did not have to drink sprites like advertisements on television.
Jea's scream caught someone's attention. He is Kelvin. The world is so narrow. For almost two months he had not seen Jea. Look now, their vacation is even the same. Without a deal between them. They keep meeting. The soul mate?
Kelvin who came an hour earlier was certainly surprised by the presence of Jea who shouted it.
Kelvin to the beach is not alone. With her fiance, Clara. A vacation to this beach, basically on Clara's will. Kelvin just complies, if not according there must be a bad thing that Clara will do for him. The holiday was sudden, it was profitable for Kelvin.
Clara stared at Kelvin's face intensely. Kelvin's eyes are pointing at something. Clara tried to follow that line of sight.
"Woman?" murmured Clara slowly.
"Kelvin?" clara shouted right in Kelvin's ear. Spontaneous Kelvin moved away and rubbed his ears that were almost broken because of Clara's behavior without manners.
"Why the hell, Ra?"
"You look at that woman, I don't like."
Kelvin grunts sebal. "It's Ra, don't be too much behavior or I'll leave you." Kelvin's threats like that always make Clara relented and fell silent. It was very desirable for Clara to interrupt, but to undo it.
Kelvin's eyes again focused on the presence of Jea, as did Clara. Clara's eyes rounded when she found her idol.
"Kelvin, look! Isn't that Andrew Parker? Take me there now Kelvin," whined the spoiled Clara while tugging at Kelvin's arm to get his way.
Fortunately, the beach atmosphere this afternoon is not too crowded. So there won't be many eyes to see Andrew.
Kelvin again grunted. Annoyed by Clara's childlike behavior. His age was only a year different from her.
"Clara stop!!! Don't be tacky!"
"Kelvin please!!! She's my idol, I want a photo with her" whined Clara again. Clara knows that Andrew and Kelvin were once half-brothers.
Kelvin resigned. Inevitably, Kelvin finally complies with Clara's will, approaching the existence of Jea and Andrew.
The impatient Clara goes after Andrew. So stunned at his first glance, who only saw Andrew directly. Usually only in magazines. Andrew was so hot in his naughty eyes
"Mr Andrew's afternoon, may I take a picture with you?"
Clara put on a face so sweet, so as not to be rejected with Andrew of course. Andrew had a look at Kelvin's arrival. So did Jea who was directly focused on the presence of Clara who shamelessly asked to take a picture with Andrew. Just like an artist. Hiss Jea whose gaze immediately turned to the figure of the man she had been worried about all along.
Because, for several months Kelvin's bruised face always ringing in his brain, seeing Kelvin who turned out to be fine makes Jea breathe a sigh of relief. The relief that made his heart melt instantly.
"Mr Kelvin," muttered Jea who subconsciously smiled, and was met with a smile also by Kelvin. They stood at a distance of about 3 meters. Which in the midst of them is Andrew and Clara as the separator.
The gaze of both conditions to a question. Kelvin continued to stare at Jea without a blink. And vice versa.
Both are just glued in their respective places without any intention of wanting to approach or so on.
If you can choose, Kelvin wants to embrace Jea at that time. But Kelvin realized, Jea was married. Even she's pregnant.
She, too, is engaged. Is it worth doing it? If, it is not a commendable act if viewed by others. So, the only way is just silence.
Unbeknownst to them, Andrew had caught sight of the strange sight that Andrew thought was full of longing. Andrew doesn't want to argue with Kelvin anymore. Andrew better get Jea out of there. For Jea, Andrew is still thinking about what punishment his wife deserves. How dare he stare at another man that intimate. He even gave his sweetest smile to Kelvin. As for her, Jea gave a smile. There was even vomit every morning that Andrew found.
To be continued.
