Love Jessika

Nico

After the departure of Abraham and Adam from his residence, Nico was sitting limp on the living room sofa. She sat beside Lestari who kept crying lamenting the fate of Jessica, her youngest daughter.

Leon who was among them was taking on his role. She doesn't know who's getting married to Jessica next week. In his heart he felt sorry for his mother for continuing to cry for Jessica. He wanted to tell Lestari the truth, but he said it because he remembered Abraham's grandfather's message to keep all of this a secret.

In the corner of the living room Cynthia seemed to look happy. He was imagining the man that Abraham's grandfather had betrothed to his sister. He imagined his brother's soul mate was a rich old man with a fat black belly and his hair had started to whiten. Cynthia smiled to herself as she stroked her flat belly while saying, "Amit-amit baby branch."

Nico who is sitting next to Lestari is thinking how to explain to Andre in the next 2 weeks, when he came home from Paris brought his family who was his best friend to propose to Jessica, while Jessica was about to marry the man who was betrothed by his Daddy. Means when Andre came with his family all too late, Jessica was already married to the man who was betrothed by Abraham. In Nico's mind, he will definitely disappoint Andre and his family who were good friends of him since childhood.

" I'm sorry Andre, I'm sorry Brata, I'm sorry for my helplessness against my Daddy...I'm sorry if I let you guys down." Inner Nico.

Nico's eyes suddenly led to a family photo figura on the wall of the living room, he noticed a picture of Jessica smiling so happily in the family photo. His heart throbbed as he realized it would hurt his son's feelings again. He had not had time to apologize to his son who had been expelled, Even he had not had time to find the whereabouts of his youngest daughter.

" I'm sorry son, I will make you part with the man who loves you so much and I know you love him too, because I can't and can't go against your grandfather's will. Why is your love destiny so sad like this. I can only pray that the man your grandfather betrothed to is a good man who will love you as much as Andre loves you" Nico said in his heart.

A couple who were in one room were laying their bodies in the same bed. Feeling equally unable to close his eyes since Abraham's arrival to his residence, life was in a state of unease. His thoughts they kept thinking about the fate of their youngest daughter. Nico who rarely thought about Jessica starting from the arrival of Abraham had until now his mind continues to be filled with Jessica.

"Mom, do you know where your daughter is now?" ask Nico to his wife who is still crying over Jessica.

"Don't know." Lestari replied lying. Lestari wants Nico to try himself to find her daughter, not just take it easy by asking her.

"Didn't Leon tell you, Mom?" asked Nico again while hugging his wife's body from behind.

"Leon doesn't know where Jessica is either." again Lestari answers her husband's question by lying.

"Didn't Andre call Leon to tell him about Jessica ma'am? I know very well your son must have gone with Andre's man. Andre must know where Jessica is and there's no way Andre can't tell your son that's ma'am." he asked again, Nico began to look worried about Jessica's whereabouts.

" Don't I tell you that I don't know and Leon doesn't tell me, if you think Leon knows then ask him not to. I really don't know where my daughter is, if I knew why I was crying like this. He will be kidnapped by your parents and forcibly married to a foreign man he does not recognize. The bad luck that my daughter is experiencing is all because it is caused by yourself Dad." replied Lestari with a tone that is so sharp.

Nico could not say anything more after hearing Lestari's words blaming him. It is true what Lestari said. Nico is the cause of all this.

An anxiety-stricken Nico finally leaves Lestari from her private room. Nico steps into Leon's room. He knocks on Leon's door so tightly that it makes Cynthia who was asleep was awake and out to see Niko who was knocking on Leon's room door, her brother.

"Dad why did you knock on Leon's room that loud? I woke up." asked Cynthia who was standing at the door of her room.

"Sleep again, son, I just want to talk to your brother." I asked Cynthia.

"Thank you, son, you told me. Go back to sleep, son! Forgive me for disturbing your sleep." said Nico, who approached Cynthia's presence on the doorstep of her room. Nico kissed Cynthia's forehead after finishing her speech.

After making sure Cynthia went into Nico's room immediately came out to approach Leon who was in the gazebo. Niko widened her steps she walked so quickly to Leon who was in the front Gazebo. Leon who was busy working accompanied by Anna by phone suddenly surprised because of the presence of Nico who stood in front of him.

"Why is dad here? Is dad looking for me? Let's say dad there's a need for what you're looking for me?" asked Leon with his face flat. He doesn't like to see Nico around him.

" I wanted to ask you where your sister is. Do you know where your brother Leon is?" ask Nico to Leon who is busy doing something with the Laptop in front of him.

" I don't know where Jessica is, and why are you looking for her anyway? Don't you want him gone forever and don't want him to come back to this house?" leon replies by lying, Leon returns questions that are the words Nico once said to Jessica.

"Dad's looking for him because I'm worried about Leon, you don't try to lie to Leon's father. I didn't teach you to be a lying person. You must know where your sister Jessica is." Nico presses Leon to tell Jessica whereabouts.

" Yeah you never taught me to lie but you've modeled me by lying all along. You tell us you're an orphan from an orphanage and we don't have a grandparent and a granny from you then what's the reality now? You're the son of the second rich businessman in the country. You never know how hard life I've been through, going to an elite school relying on scholarships in the middle of the rich, being isolated and being bullied at all times by them has become my daily food. But everything shouldn't have happened if you hadn't hidden your true identity. And dad also never knew what had happened to me recently. My pride and my family were despised and trampled on by Dahlan's family, my ex-lover's parents. Because what? Because of the behavior of the father's favorite children who are pregnant out of wedlock and because they only know I am just a child of ordinary people are not equal to them." Leon replied with a sharp look on Nico's face.

Nico was made speechless by the answer given by Leon. Guilt is within him.

"I'm sorry Leon's father... Forgive me for my mistakes with you all this time." Nico apologized to his son with a trembling voice.

"Dad's apology won't change the bad memories I've been through. I beg you not to interfere anymore with my and Jessica's business. Now I just have to take care of Cynthia, my favorite son. All I need to know is that Jessica is doing well under my grandfather's supervision" said Leon, who made Nico's heart hurt.

Leon immediately closed his laptop and left Nico who was standing by after hearing Leon's words that hurt him so much. A father's apology is rejected by his son who is already disappointed in him.

"Leon" called Nico to his son who walked past him.

Leon's steps came to a halt when Nico called his name.

"Can we just talk for a second, I'll explain why you did it all" said Nico, who looked at Leon's back. Leon simply stopped his steps without looking back.

"I don't think I need you to explain all that. I don't need Dad's explanation. It's all already happened. If all father's explanations can turn back time and circumstances then I'll hear them. But unfortunately not. I'm gonna take a break, sorry if I have to leave dad. Good night." said Leon without looking at Nico's face. Nico understood very well the disappointment his son felt in him.
