“The butterflies will never know what color their wings are, but people know how beautiful they are. As is your self ... You do not know how beautiful you are, but God knows how special you are in his eyes.” Melisa smiles reading a small note written on Jack's car dashboard. He rubbed the handwriting with his finger.
Jack was different from other men, I admired him even more.
Well, as always. When Jack was fulfilling his duty, Melisa faithfully waited in the car. Incidentally this afternoon, the two of them went home together to the hotel which was still occupied by the Nagara and Atmadja families to take their respective goods.
“Eternal beauty lies in the beauty of adab and the height of one's science. Not located on his face and clothes.” The next note that Melisa read under the note. Slowly Melisa took the note and put it in her blue suit pocket.
He is very good at composing words that touch my heart. He was a good man and was devout in religion. If only he had the same faith as me, maybe I wouldn't have to rethink choosing him. Ishhh Melisa don't wonder, what do you really think?” Melisa banged her head against the car door while holding her chest.
You just admire him, not love him! Don't exaggerate!
Melisa directs her eyes towards the direction of the mosque which is occupied by several people who are opening or who wear shoes. He was stunned to see Jack who was smiling freely along with a middle-aged man who was holding his white beard with a brown abaya. They look familiar, and very close.
What made him smile like that? Jack's smile was charming and soothing. What did Jack talk to the old man about? Judging from the interaction, it seemed like they were quite close.
Slowly muttered Melisa who was still watching Jack who was wearing shoes while greeting the middle-aged man sitting next to her. He turned his eyes again, when he saw Jack walking towards him with a big smile.
“Sorry to keep you waiting long.” Melisa closed her lips with a nod of her head. Then put his head to the side.
“It’s okay, no problem.” Jack raised his eyebrows and smiled. He sat behind the wheel and started the engine of his car. He drove his car slowly, leaving the mosque parking lot to the highway. He seemed to be smiling to himself while rubbing his chin.
“Why are you smiling? You seem to be happy?” Jack was still focusing his eyes towards the front by shaking his head.
“As usual. I'm very happy everyday.” Melisa turned her head with a knotty smile. He leaned his head against the car seat, folding his hands. He wondered what made the man beside him smile indistinctly like a madman.
“So I saw you laughing out loud with the grandfathers at the Masjid delivery. What are you talking about until like that? Usually you are the most indifferent if you meet strangers.” Jack pursed his lips with a scratch on his head. He turned to Melisa for a while and refocused on driving the car.
Then he noticed me from now on. Inner Jack by swiping his nose hand.
“The grandfather was Mr. Abdul, I met him often in the study of Ustadz Zhaf. Coincidentally we just met here, because Mr. Abdul was visiting his youngest daughter whose house around the delivery of the mosque.” Jack replied casually without taking his eyes off. Melisa listened to Jack's reply carefully, she turned her head back towards him by frowning her forehead.
“What did you guys talk to laugh like that?” Jack scrunched his forehead with a chuckle. He rubbed Melisa's head gently.
“It turns out a Melisa kepo is also haha. We just chatted normally, joked and made jokes until we laughed together like before.” Melisa flicked her lips by pulling over Jack's hand that was ruffling her hair. He could not believe Jack's answer. He looked at Jack with his face resting on his hand.
“I'm just curious Jack, that's all. Tell me! I just want to hear it, what chat makes a Jack laugh wide.” Jack pursed his lips by tapping his index finger on the wheel. Then he glanced for a moment at Melisa.
“Alright, I'll tell you. Mr. Abdul wanted to match me with his daughter who graduated from Al-Azhar. His daughter has never dated, and Mr. Abdul wants me to be his son-in-law.” Jack said with a big smile without looking at Melisa. Melisa's smile instantly disappeared when she heard Jack's reply, she threw her gaze to the side with a chest that suddenly rumbled.
“And you are happy after receiving an offer from him?” Jack held back a laugh when he heard Melisa's tone of voice that suddenly turned into a sniffle. I don't know what she's thinking, she just wants to make Melisa jealous.
“Maybe. But I must first meet him, so as to know what his war is like. Because you must know, the woman I crave is a woman who is simple, gentle, and maternal. And I wish she was such a woman.” Melisa instantly adjusted her breathing with a frown. He was not aware, his level from earlier could not be separated from Jack's view.
Why was I so hot when Jack told me about another woman? Melisa, what's wrong with you? Don't be a stupid woman! Ahh, God. Why don't I feel this way. Melisa's mind closed her eyes.
“All women are also definitely maternal and gentle. If you want, I'll take you to meet him. Looks like you've been fascinated with the old grandfather's daughter, so your behavior looks like a crazy person like gini.” Ketus Melisa without daring to look at Jack's face.
Jack who was driving his car smiled broadly with one hand closing his mouth.
Looks like she's jealous. But how could he be jealous? The guy he doesn't like me. Jack you don't geer, where there's a Melisa Nagara likes you. Self-conscious, that's impossible! Why does my heart feel otherwise?
Inner Jack who returned glanced towards Melisa.
There's no harm if I heat it up. I just want to know what the response is like.
Jack took a breath and looked back at the street.
“With pleasure, I will invite you to meet him. And you know what? The woman was working in the same hospital as me. And maybe after this I will often meet him.” Jack lightly with his lips.
My God, why do I feel this pain when I hear Jack is meeting another woman. Why does my heart feel so unwilling? What exactly do I think? Oh my God, what's wrong with my heart? Why are the expressions of the mouth and heart different?
“Melisa, why are you silent? You okay?” Melisa jumped in shock as Jack patted her shoulder. He stroked his chest by adjusting his breath.
“Emm... I'm fine!” Answer by trying to smile.
“Make you want me to meet that woman?” Melisa rounded her lazy eyes. He folded his arms again by turning his back to Jack.
I'm not taking Jack to meet that woman! I'm not a stupid woman!
“I changed my mind. I don't want to take you to meet that woman! I do a lot of work, I don't want to waste my time for nothing. Become a mosquito repellent among you.” Jack stopped his car on the side of the road. He held onto Melisa's shoulder with a face that pretended to beg.
“Ayohh .. take me to see the woman. Or are you afraid of losing out with that woman? Take me yah! Please!” Melisa brushed off Jack's hand that shook her shoulder in annoyance.
“No! I don't want to!” Jack immediately turned Melisa's body to face her. He lifted Melisa's face gently to look at her.
“Why are you angry? Are you jealous? Why is your tone suddenly sniffling like this?” Melisa threw her face to the side. He wanted to change his position, but Jack held both shoulders until he could not move a bit
“Ishhh who's jealous. What do I care?” Jack also chuckled while touching Melisa's face to look back at her. He looked at the woman in front of him with a smile,
Melisa swallowed her coarse saliva, she could clearly see Jack's charming face with her sweet smile.
My God, why is my heart beating so fast? Why does my face heat up? Her face .. her face is very charming, I. I was really fascinated. Melisa's silent mind stiffened with widening eyes.
If it is like this, Melisa's face is very adorable. I want to kiss her red cheeks. Ahh Jack, what are you thinking? Throw away your dirty thoughts. Jack muttered inwardly spontaneously through both hands that held Melisa's shoulders.
“You sure you're not jealous? Even if you are jealous, even that is much better.” Melisa immediately rounded her eyes to look at Jack until she did not blink. He did not understand the meaning of the words of the man who was now sitting next to him.
“You mean?” Jack shrugged both of his shoulders. He returned to his wheel with a smile. His face was slightly flushed, but he tried to cover it up by pretending to be cool.
