Jemima's Choice

Jemima's Choice
You Will Be Happy



Breathing fresh morning air in the garden area near the house with Dira is something that he rarely does since starting work. He took a week off from Darwin, and he made the most of it.


"Daddy goes to Japan Dira, when we go there" Jemima took Dira's hand while walking down the path in the garden.


"Don't you like Daddy?" jemima asked his son and was not responded by the child who was cool to pluck the leaves.


"If Papa Abram likes where Dira is? But Papa Abram already has a Aunt Manda, if the same Daddy, Mama does not love." confided Jemima to Dira, he was confused about whether to accept Darwin whom he did not love or wait for other men who might come to his life later.


"Dadada wants to" said Dira while trying to take off Jemima's hand, he was about to run after the kitten.


"Will you go with Daddy?" Jemima gave a puzzled snort, but the boy still ignored his question.


In the afternoon before Darwin Airport to visit Dira.


"Dira, Daddy go first. Later Daddy bring souvenirs" said Darwin while holding Dira.


"Je don't forget yes this weekend I met my Mom Papa, I'm divorced with Cindy so I'm good to introduce you as a future wife and child" Jemima continued to focus on cooking, he did not want to criticize Darwin's speech because he himself still did not decide to marry Darwin or not.


"Quick Pak to the airport later" gently push Jemima away.


"Yes Je. Dira Daddy go first. So good boy yeah, don't make it hard Mama" Darwin kissed Dira on his cheek and handed it to Jemima.


The atmosphere had been quiet again without the male figure since his departure 3 days ago and at this time Jemima thought Abram had no news. But he does not want to find out, let it be none of his business anymore. Today she is playing with her son, Dira is having fun getting to know the character of Thomas and friends, the blue train. Darwin bought him a toy 1 set of train toys and since then Dira has been very interested in trains.


The sound of knocking on the door of his house disturbed the excitement of playing Dira and Jemima. Jemima got up from his seat and walked over to open the door. He was surprised by the presence of 2 women, 1 old woman he knew and 1 young woman may be the same age as him who first met.


"How are you doing Je?" greet Mother Abram


"Okay ma'am, um come in please Mother" Jemima let them in.


The two women entered and followed Jemima into his living room. Jemima sat down opposite the two women whose faces were slightly less friendly.


"I'll make you a drink first, Mom" Jemima wanted to make you drink because Bude Wati was going to the market.


"Do not bother, we did not stay here long" said Mother with a sharp tone


Abram's mother looked at Jemima as though she wanted to kill him, while the woman next to him who was sure Abram's wife was not less than her notes.


"You must have known what I mean and my daughter-in-law came here" said Ms. Tika


"Yes ma'am, how is it?" jemima asked confused


"I'll just go straight ahead if you're pretending to be stupid. I want you to stay away from Abram. Abram already has a wife should he take care of his wife more than you and your child." deg Jemima fell silent to Bu Tika's words.


"For you, Manda was ignored by Abram even until now Abram was reluctant to touch Manda. What kind of stitch did you wear until Abram didn't get away from you?" accuse Bu Tika to Jemima


"Susuk??? Mean Mother?" Jemima was confused for a lifetime he had never dealt with such supernatural things.


"Sorry Mom don't insult me like that, I have a reason for what happened to me" Jemima tried to defend himself.


"What is the reason, whether you like to tempt men to take their property right, this is proof that your boss Darwin was willing to divorce his wife for you and want to buy a luxurious house here. Keep trying to get close to Abram so you can take advantage of it too, right?" accuse Ms. Tika again.


"Nak you talk there, just let out your annoyance. Mother does not accept that you are wasted by Abram for this woman" Ms. Tika tried to heat up Manda who had just been silent.


"Je I'm just asking you to stay away from Brother Abram. Until tonight he hasn't accepted me as his wife, I know every night he looks at your photos on his phone, say...." manda's speech was interrupted because of the presence of men who were the main topic in this house.


"Mother... Manda..what are you doing here" Abram looked at her with wrinkled eyebrows.


"Mother is giving understanding to Jemima that you already have a wife so he does not bother you anymore" said Mother


"Bun, but Jemima never bothered Abram. Abram wants to be alone"


"Yes that's because you've been on the pellet maybe" Abram was astonished and shook his head


"There's no such thing, Bun, Jemima's a good woman. This is because Abram is not ready to accept marriage with Manda."


"Have you not bought this cheap and untrue woman again. Mommy has finished expressing everything, let's go home" despised Bu Tika and it made Jemima's heart very sick without tears dripping.


"My mother is not that kind of woman" Jemima said


"How many times have I told you that you are only looking for treasure from men. Don't just benefit men let alone to have children from other men, it's very cheap you become a woman. Which sane man would make us his wife" Bu Tika's insults really hurt Jemima.


"I'm Ma'am I'll make Jemima my wife and I will take responsibility for my son Dira" Darwin's voice that just came shocked everyone.


"Are you ready for Je to be my wife?" ask Darwin again.


"Iiiiya Sir, I'm ready, I want to be the wife of Mr." Jemima then embraced Darwin and shed tears of urgency at the reception of Bu Tika. Abram's face seemed disappointed he felt hurt to hear Jemima accept Darwin's invitation to marry.


"Can't, I can't accept Je if you marry Darwin" Abram said, apparently very emotional.


"It's my choice Mas, I chose Mr. Darwin as my husband, and I have no right to interfere in my and Dira's affairs. Mas also already have a wife, let the business of mas with the family just mas"


"Great you managed to make Darwin a husband, ckckc" Bu Tika still insulted Jemima


"Mom, without prejudice to my respect for Abram please Mother leave this house, I do not accept if the mother of my child is insulted like that" Darwin stared intently at Bu Tika, obviously he was angry about Tika's words just now.


"Bram take your family away" asked Darwin to Abram and Abram pulled Mother and his wife out of Jemima's house. Jemima who was still crying and hugging Darwin very strongly spilled all his heartache.


"I'm sorry because of me you've been insulted by people. I will make amends for all my mistakes and take responsibility for you and Dira" Darwin rubbed Jemima's head and kissed her. Dira approached Darwin and asked to be carried by the man. The three of them hugged each other like a happy family.


"I will make you happy" Darwin promised Jemima and his son.
