Jemima's Choice

Travel to America

The Flash Back On

6 Months ago Abram was called by Mr. Atma Gunawan, a contractor who has experience in the business. Mr. Atma is the only parent of his only child Amanda Gunawan. His wife died of illness when Amanda was 2 years old and he did not remarry until now, focusing on taking care of his business and his son. Mr. Atma loved Amanda very much, all his desires were always obeyed thankfully if Amanda grew up not being a spoiled child and always appreciating others.

After returning home from work Abram drove his car to Mr. Atma's residence. He had planned to move and serve in the company of Mr. Atma as he had promised. His plan was after he announced his relationship with Jemima to Darwin. His heart was very happy because he wanted to marry the mother of one child who had stolen his heart.

"Night Sir" Abram kissed the back of Mr. Atma's hand reading the progress of work in his office.

"Night Bram sit down first, have you had dinner?" ask Pak Atma men of mixed Javanese and Chinese blood.

"Already sir before here to meet the client at one of the restaurants" Abram sat in front of Mr. Atma.

"Where is your work, still at home in Darwin's place" Mr. Atma clearly knows Darwin because he often has a cooperative relationship.

"Still Sir, but according to my previous promise I will start to work at the place of Mr, hopefully you can be pleased if I want to help Mr"

"Yes Bram, I mean to call you here one of them wants to discuss it. I'm sure if you join and help my business, the company will grow better, I already know your intelligence and Darwin also often boast of you" Mr. Atma leaned his body on his chair and linked his hands together.

"Yes sir, thank you for your good wishes and I promise I won't let you down" Abram nodded his head.

"But there was one more Bram that was very important, yesterday when I visited Amanda in America, he was always talking about you, he said, Manda was grateful even though she was an only child but she felt she had an older brother who always protected her" he said

"You know Bram, Manda asked me to marry her to you. I have asked your Mother also if you are still alone and do not have a lover so I dare to convey this"

Abram's chest seemed to hit surprised by the words of Mr. Atma just now.

"Manda says you're a great and responsible man, I think it's also true that Manda can't continue my business if I die, the choice is right on you, the person I already trust. Next month he will graduation you come with me, for the wedding date let you plan with Manda" explained Mr. Abram again, Abram did not know what to say.

" Don't disappoint me and Manda Bram. Before I die you have to get married" Abram kept silent, his mind falling apart. He cannot defend himself, this is not what he planned.

"Iii yes sir" he knew if he immediately rejected Mr. Atma's offer was very disrespectful he had to rethink his plan. He came home empty minded. He glanced at the clock in his hand at 11 pm, he stopped his car in front of a mall that had just stopped its activity. His hand immediately took the phone and pressed a video call picture on Dira's name.

"Night Mas "greet the woman across there with a simple look using her fancy dress a comfortable negligee to breastfeed her 6-month baby.

"Yes I'm still in the car just finished the meeting, want a trip home. Unfortunately I miss you" Abram said because the condition in the dark car his face was upset and sad not seen Jemima.

"I miss Mas too" Jemima replied with the sweetest smile she could give.

"What are you doing"

"I've been sleeping since I'm preparing the equipment for tomorrow because there is an order" explained Jemima.

"Maybe next month I'm not going there Je I want to go to America no business is okay?" abram said with a sad face.

"Well, you take care of your health, do not be too accomplished. I'm sorry Dira woke up I want to carry her first, you carefully go home, don't speed"

"Yes dear you too when it's finished immediately rest, kiss for Dira. " Aram immediately pressed the red button on his phone and hit his car driver upset. Didn't expect such a request from Mr. Atma.

A month passed Abram and Mr. Atma together headed for America. Inside the cabin of Abram's business-class aircraft sat next to Mr. Atma. This long flight was used by Mr. Atma to explain the development of his business. Abram heard well that he understood the business process, but Mr. Atma's words about his relationship with his son greatly upset Abram.

"Please take care of my son Amanda, I know you can take good care of Bram. Ms. Tika taught you to be a great and responsible man, I saw how you took care of your Mother and sisters all this time. I never regretted and lost financing you for college. You are a smart kid. Actually Manda has started to like you since Junior High I know secretly he always pays attention to you when he comes home. But I always say little kids don't date, I don't want him to get the wrong relationship." Abram listened silently to Mr. Atma.

"Until yesterday the boy finally revealed it to me. To ask you to marry her, I know that maybe you have not had any love with Manda but I am sure that love will come slowly, like me with her Mama Manda we were both betrothed early in the marriage still shy, shy, but because of my commitment to be the head of the family and a good and responsible husband I leave all the love and attention to Mama Manda and proven since she died to this day irreplaceable" Mr. Atma looked blankly ahead with a fluffy smile, recalling his love story and his short married trip with his wife.

"Yes sir" Abram could not say much. When he meets Manda later he has to talk about that he already has a lover in his heart. The long journey for 25 hours in the air with a transit for 3 hours is increasingly long and tiring. They arrived at New York's JF Kennedy Airport. Abram and Mr. Atma walked out the terminal and appeared a white female figure with a bob haircut dyed Ombre purplish approaching 2 adult men, her body slightly filled from the last he saw.

"Papaaaaa" he then hugged Mr. Atma, after which he moved next to her hugging and kissing her cheek

"Welcome Sister. Miss u" cup back cheek is frowned upon by the woman.
