Jemima's Choice

Chapter 60

Jemima and Gerry both enjoyed the trip from home to a cafe in the Lembang area. The lights start to light up adding to the atmosphere of the night today is more beautiful. I don't know why Gerry's heart isn't calm. Together with Jemima these few months gives a sense of comfort in his heart, small attention given to him Jemima able to soften his heart against a woman. For a long time he had no relationship with a serious woman, all this time just to satisfy his needs. Some days do not meet just sometimes miss struck in the heart of Gerry, because it was often he made up work on the holiday Jemima just to see it for a while. Gerry realizes there is actually someone in Jemima's heart who has filled the recesses of his heart. That name he often saw from Jemima's phone. Is it his girlfriend, if only just a girlfriend is a trivial thing surely he can beat the man. But Gerry's innate nature is not much nonsense and seems stiff towards women, making Jemima not aware of the attention given by Gerry.

"Both good sir" said Jemima when they arrived in front of a cafe in Lembang with the theme of Angkasa which is currently being loved by young people.

"It's good, you'll be around, look at the other atmosphere" replied Gerry.

"May you sir after the meeting I will enjoy the atmosphere here" Jemima asked Gerry with a face that looks innocent like a child.

"Yes yes" answered Gerry quickly and briefly did not want to linger looking at the face of Jemima who had been resistant to not kissing him.

The two of them got out of the car, walking side by side like a couple who wanted to spend the night together while enjoying the beautiful atmosphere of the night. Gerry contacts Harmoko and finds out her whereabouts.

"They're outside, we're there" pointed Gerry at the glass room on the edge of the cliff. From far away Jemima saw about 5 people and one of them Harmoko was talking to another. Seemed one of them he knew, Jemima momentarily stopped his steps when he looked face to face with the person who was sitting next to Harmoko.

"Gerr is sitting here" Harmoko said as she watched Gerry and Jemima walk towards their spot.

Harmoko introduces the people there to Gerry and Jemima. One by one the men shook Gerry and Jemima's hands. The last person to shake Jemima made his legs limp and his heart beat.

"What's Je?" ask the man, "Okay Abram, how are you ?" ask Jemima back. For several years he had not met Abram, the man he had once lived with, giving hope to him and Dira but had to let go of it all because of the blessing of Abram's mother that was not given.

"I'm good too Je" Abram replied with a smile. "Wah Bram knows a saucy girl, inget wife at home" ledek Anwar one of the men there.

"Former An" Abram looked at Jemima "Ex-worker" he said with a small smile on his face. Jemima sat opposite Arbam, while Gerry beside him noticed the familiarity of Abram and Jemima.

"Gerry can-can bring a secretary, very afraid to be taken people until carried on" ledek Harmoko who realized jealousy in the eyes of Gerry.

"It's not that sir's part of his job" Gerry tried to be relaxed.

"Well let's talk about business right away" the men seriously listened to Harmoko in light of the business plan she would develop with the young entrepreneurs in front of her. Gerry looks very serious listening to Harmoko's plan to create a new company that is capitalized by the men. Jemima tried to focus on the conversation but was a little annoyed with Abram staring at him earlier. Jemima was powerless to see Abram's gaze, remembering all the good memories of the past, where Abram faithfully helped her through the difficult times when she had just given birth to Dira. The atmosphere of the cafe is getting more and more crowded, many young people who come to enjoy drinking while listening to a live band.

A waiter delivers alcoholic beverages and serves them at their table. Harmoko poured the purple drink into their glasses

"I'm sorry sir don't" rejected Jemima who was a little traumatized by alcoholic beverages.

"Little" said Harmoko insisted, Jemima did not dare to refuse the glass and Abram suddenly snatched the glass containing the wine he gulped until it ran out.

"You have allergies" Abram said, trying to help Jemima.

"I'm yes sir" trauma is not an allergy Jemima said in his heart.

"I go back first yes" Jemima stood up to walk away to the toilet, after finishing his business he wanted to return his shirt, but was restrained by the beauty of the atmosphere around him. The lights down there are like stars in the sky. He took some pictures for him to show to Dira and one day he will bring her here.

"I took a photo" Abram's voice came from behind his body.

"Eh, do not need Mas I just want to photograph the atmosphere here aja koq" said Jemima who felt weak because it was beating too fast

"What's wrong, you're beautiful in that outfit" Abram snatched the phone in Jemima's hand

"Yes already" Jemima finally complied and took up the style while leaning against the guardrail and smiling at Abram.

"How's Dira doing" Abram said, writing something on Jemima's phone and before long his phone rang.

"That's my number, save it" Abram said and handed Jemima's phone back.

"Yes Mas. Dira is fine, it is big, it has been 1 month in SD" explained Jemima

"If I met Dira, he probably remembered I didn't?" abram asks and steals a look at Jemima.

"Maybe you have forgotten Mas hehe, the last time you met he was still a child" said Jemima who just looked down and looked at his legs, because he felt embarrassed to look at Abram's face. There was still a little sense of Jemima's heart for Abram.

"Mas I want to ask for help"

"Well, what help, I hope I can help" Abram looked at Jemima who had not dared to look at him.

"Don't tell anyone about Dira especially to my boss Mr. Gerry. Because I claimed to be single and have no children, because it happened to be a condition to work in the company like that, so I deliberately kept Dira a secret" said Jemima who was still looking in another direction.

Abram was silent thinking about Jemima's words, he was curious about the woman he once loved so much. What about his life so far, it felt longing and bitter in his heart began to seep and reappear.

"Well Je I won't tell anyone" Abram said, looking at Jemima.

"Je's coming home now" Gerry's voice shocked Jemima and Abram.

"Okay sir, I went home first Mas" said Jemima finally dared to look at Abram's face a few seconds later walking after Gerry who had left him.
