I'm Not a Little Girl, Om!

65. Plan Gilda

sukmajaya's family finally arrived in Jakarta, Edward immediately went to his room to rest and devise a plan to spare Jeniffer from the evil intentions that will be done by his family.

Risda who saw the strange gurgle of the son can only sigh and pray in his heart so that nothing bad happens to his family again.

Actually Risda wanted to follow Edward to the room but the eyes of the in-laws seemed to give up that he should continue to be in this place. Finally, the 39-year-old woman had to join the Verry family and listen to what they were talking about.

"So what do we do to get rid of the dead girl's daughter?" Dion opened the meeting suddenly with a question that made Risda surprised.

"Yes, if you can not go through our hands, at least the Sukmajaya family will not dirty their hands for trivial problems like this" said Gilda with a more emotional tone.

"What does it mean that our mother used someone else to get rid of the child?" ask Verry who is starting to understand the direction of this conversation.

"But does it have to be removed? Hasn't Jeniffer been taken care of by his mother's family?" asked Risda who objected to the idea put forward by Gilda.

"That unlucky kid must be put away, otherwise he would be dangerous for the Sukmajaya family!" pekik Gilda when she heard Risda mention Jeniffer's name.

"That's what your mother said if we don't get rid of the child immediately, then he will be even more dangerous for the survival of this Sukmajaya family" said Dion, who agreed with his wife.

"Pa, Ma and everyone here, I hope you're considering not bothering the girl. Didn't we learn from you under Edward's escape by Jeniffer?" Risda was still trying to persuade her husband's family.

"Ah, stop! We have agreed to leave the unlucky child to disturb this family" Gilda said.

Dion and Verry's two younger siblings soon leave the man's house while Gilda still intends to stay for a few more days.

Meanwhile at Stanley's residence, Jeniffer who still looks weak price lying in his bed makes all who see him feel sorry for what has been experienced by the girl.

Even Jorgie decided to stay with Aster and David in a few days until Jeniffer's condition gradually improved.

Joseph actually wanted to see the girl who began to occupy the corner of his heart, but Edward's words yesterday greatly disturbed his mind and he was eager to meet with Jeniffer's stepbrother. After all, he considered that Edward was different from the Sukmajaya family. The young man looks worried about Jeniffer despite knowing the truth.

So with that he immediately rushed to his house and hacked his smartphone belonging to the young man who was already in Edward's hands. Although Joseph knew what he was doing was very inappropriate, but this was the only way for the man to be able to communicate with Edward.

Of course he would not talk to anyone including his parents about the plan that he would put together with Edward, it was also if the young man agreed to cooperate with him.

[Edward, this is Joseph, who saved you and Jeniffer in Salatiga yesterday? When can we meet, I keep thinking about what you have to say to be careful.]

The message has been sent and checked in two, Joseph just waiting for the answer to the message from Edward. 20 minutes have passed but the message he sent is still ticked gray which indicates that Edward has not read it. Joseph sighed disappointedly thinking that Edward would not respond to messages from unknown numbers.

But the disappointment only lasted for a while because not long later Edward returned the message.

[Okay, Bang, just let me decide the place and the time. Because we are both busy at school and work, how about the weekend? Between Saturday or Sunday, but not anytime soon because my whole family is watching everywhere I go.]

Joseph smiled broadly as the conversation ended. At least he should try his best to keep Jeniffer in danger. In the end, the final decision remains in God's hands.

Edward did not expect to get a message from the man who had saved him and his stepbrother, even Joseph offered to meet because he kept thinking about his words while in the hospital yesterday.

Unknowingly she sighed so that it made Risda who was cooking for dinner turn to her and ask, "What's up to making you sigh so loudly like that?"

"It's okay, Ma, maybe Edward's bored at home, wants to take a walk to the Mall. But Edward realized for now this will definitely not be allowed by Papa," said Edward Iirih.

"Then I asked Papa, yeah. The important thing is that you get your body healthy first" said Risda who was cutting oyong to make soup.

"Yes, Ma? Ask Papa?" ask Edward with sparkling eyes. If allowed he would be free to meet Joseph without worrying about being caught by his family.

"Yes" said Risda who returned to continue cooking.

Gilda who was still staying at Verry's house kept thinking about how to get rid of Jeniffer without anyone knowing. The middle-aged woman was growing increasingly disliked by the girl who was increasingly similar to Meylani. He feels like he's seeing a ghost when he sees Jeniffer.

Gilda recalls the moment she learned that Meylani was pregnant with a daughter and has since started hating her daughter-in-law.

Meylani's cry was not her indictment and said that the woman was weak and crybaby for not being able to complete the task she was given. Gilda did not allow Verry to hire a domestic helper for reasons to make it easier for Meylani to give birth normally.

Of course it was all just Gilda's wits who wanted to torture Meylani physically and mentally in the hope that the fetus she conceived could not survive and had to be aborted. But the calculation missed, it turns out that Jeniffer was already strong from the womb.

"No mother is not her child, equally troublesome," growled Gilda while squeezing Meylani's still-saved photo.

"If you were pregnant with a boy, none of this would have to happen" Gilda said in an empty room.

Edward passing through the living room certainly saw and heard what the grandmother was doing, because the door was opened a little. In the heart of the young man he increasingly does not understand the thoughts of his family that requires the eldest son Sukmajaya is a man. Is it not the same as denying the power of God, he thought to himself.

Brakkk

He accidentally nudged a bird-shaped ornament made of plastic so that it fell and made a sound. Edward quickly left the living room before his grandmother realized he was too focused on his thoughts. Even Gilda did not hear the sound of the decoration falling in front of the guest room.

"It's really dangerous for Cici, how can I keep her out of harm's way?" ask Edward to himself.

Finally, during the 15 years of his life, Edward only experienced a huge disappointment and it all came not from others but from his own family.
