Jemima's Choice

Jemima's Choice
Chapter 68



Cring..


With her eyes still closed Jemima picked up her ringing phone..


"Ha a lo" Jemima's hoarse voice answered the phone call.


"Where are you?"


"Home home" said Jemima casually still not aware of someone who called him in the morning during his vacation.


"Home??" there was a shocked voice from the man behind the call, slowly Jemima began to wake up and saw the name on his phone "Sir Boss Gerry"


"Eh Father, I'm sorry I just woke up, you've been bandaged?"  tanya Jemima tried to connect her mind in the real world.


"I've checked in and now I'm in the executive lounge waiting for you, why are you still at home" Gerry said


"I'm not joining Sir, this is a Father's and family vacation" explained Jemima


"But I want you to come, you are against my orders yes, I have sent you a ticket message for you too" said Gerry annoyed, along with the sound of boarding calls to immediately get on the plane.


"Yes, we will discuss when I return from Bali, I want to enter the plane, ngaco you yes" said Gerry upset because of his plan he wanted to express his love to Jemima while in Bali.


"Sorry sir don't be angry, this is Ms. Sela's order" Jemima said in a soft voice


"Ehm" replied Gerry soberly because he was upset.


"Message from Ms. Sela, later next door friend do not be questioned and stay, either I Mr. searchin Mr. travel friend" Jemima smiled imagine how Gerry would be surprised at the presence of someone


"Mira.." said Gerry when he saw Mira waving at Gerry.


"True sir, have fun yes" said Jemima


"Awas you, I will return to make calculations with you" threatened Gerry because he could not do anything and just resigned to the existing circumstances.


"Yes, sir, whatever you want, I was told to resign overtime, told whatever I was with you" said Jemima resigned.


Today he plans to visit Darwin's parents' house because he has not visited them for a long time. Thankfully as long as Gerry called, Dira who was sleeping next to him did not wake up.


"Omaaaa, Dira came" said Dira when he arrived at the Oma and Opanya residence that looked crowded with girl voices, it turned out that Darwin, Cindy and Clara were there too.


"Dira, haii my dear, I miss you so much "welcome Magda to her grandson and Dira immediately hugs Oma and Opanya. While Darwin only smiled at Dira's arrival, there was no warm welcome to the boy. Jemima could only look at it with a slightly aching heart.


Jemima hugs Bagus and Magda, then just greets Darwin and Cindy,


"Hi Win, Cin, how are you" he said


"We are good as always" replied Cindy ketus and haughty.


Jemima let Dira play with her half-sister Clara, they both played together accompanied by Darwin who had previously held Clara. Jemima tries to help Magda make a Macaroni Schotel lunch to give to her granddaughter.


"I asked Cindy, she said she always sent Dira and school fees to you, you checked your account" Darwin asked


"Had Win, and no one entered during this 6 months, both for the purposes of Dira and school, even I was called from the school about the tuition that had not been paid" Darwin furrowed his brows as if he did not believe Jemima's words.


"You don't believe the same thing I said? You can check in the account you should have sent if you don't believe" Jemima said


"Oh, not so" said Darwin.


"Yes it's up to you, believe it or not, anyway I can still finance Dira, you don't have to worry Win. I'm not going to use Dira just to make a profit, maybe when I go up to this class I'll move Dira's school to where I can afford it" Jemima immediately left Darwin and went back to the kitchen, his heart ached and hurt over Darwin's disbelief.


"Ma after this we go home yes" said Jemima because he felt uncomfortable in the house, actually Darwin's parents are very good with him and Dira, so he was very good with him, but he felt he could not if it had to relate like this with Darwin in particular.


"Uahhhhhhh" Clara's screaming and crying voice echoed from the family room, Jemima quickly approached to see what was going on.


"Heh, how rude are you to be a child?" said Clara flicked Dira's forehead.


"Why this? Cin why do you nyentil Dira" said Jemima did not accept Cindy's treatment to her son.


"Basically the child does not know the rules, the child is not clear, take care of your child, rude uneducated push-push Clara" insults out of Cindy's mouth.


"Stop Cindy your words are too much for a small child" said Magda mediate


"Cin, please" said Darwin trying to calm Cindy so as not to say rude again.


Jemima was confused because Dira began to cry, he hugged his son


"What is Dira, the story to Mama" Jemima looked at Dira's face that was filled with tears.


"Dedek took the pen that Daddy gave me Mama, I told you it was Daddy's pen for Dira, but Dedek still wanted to take it. Dedek will have met Daddy every day, can bobo same Daddy every day, the pen time from Daddy taken too, I want to like Dedek Clara Mama, can be the same Daddy every day" said Dira in his tears, his words suddenly made Jemima's heart melt, his body felt weak, guilt approached him more, Dira had to be born from his womb with this condition, like this, it turns out that he really misses the figure of the father in his life that Jemima has not been able to fulfill. Darwin's heart was filled and guilty after hearing the words of Dira he also hugged Dira and rubbed his head.


"I'm sorry Dira, Daddy can't be the same as you every day" it turns out Dira refused Darwin's touch.


"Mama, Dira wants to go home" said Dira weakly with his own eyes and Jemima nodded in approval to Dira's words.


"For a while Mama ordered a taxi online first" Jemima immediately pulled out her phone ordering a taxi to take them home.


"Well taxi? Where's your car?" ask Darwin.


"Destroyed, I haven't been to the workshop yet"


"Just use my car first, I'll have the driver take care of your car" said Darwin


"No need, you just take back the car" said Jemima annoyed because the car given to him is a used car that is often problematic from the beginning he received.


"Ma Pa, I said that the tax had arrived" said Jemima hugging Darwin's parents, and Magda's warm embrace to Jemima very tightly, then hugged Dira and looked at Dira with pity. Darwin drove them to the front of the house, Darwin tried to hug Dira but was rejected by the boy. Jemima left the house and promised to become an independent woman without relying on Darwin.
