LOVE THAT SPEAKS

JIKA

Salisa and Jacob had just finished cooking. They then serve their dishes on the dining table, while Jacob finished taking some more dishes, Salisa clean up the messy and dirty kitchen. Salisa really likes cleanliness, he does not miss a speck of dirt missed. It also makes Jacob more amazed with Salisa.

After everything was arranged at the dining table, Salisa then called Papa Antoni and Mama Maria to join immediately. Salisa also wakes up his older brother Alisya and Aldo who are apparently still asleep.

They praised Salisa's cooking this time, of course thanks to the help of Jacob who almost took over his cooking job. The atmosphere at the dining table is not as crowded and as cheerful as usual, they are more silent and not much they care about.

That day Jacob accidentally did not go to the office, Jacob was eager to talk with Salisa about their marriage. Jacob feels guilty and does not want to make Salisa a victim in the marriage. When Salisa was cleaning the dishwasher, Jacob approached Salisa and asked her to meet somewhere later in the day. They can't speak with four eyes if they stay home. Salisa agreed to Jacob's request, because basically Salisa also wanted to talk some things with the man.

Jacob had been waiting for Salisa at the cafe where they had made the deal. Jacob also deliberately booked the cafe so that they could chat more freely. Jacob ordered a cup of Ekspreso Coffee and a sweet desert for him. Jacob deliberately did not order Salisa first so that later Salisa could order himself according to his favorite.

Not long after, Salisa came too and immediately approached the table where Jacob was sitting at this time. Salisa was wearing Jeans pants and a white T-shirt with a small Lamb on it. As usual, Salisa did not dress up at all. In her family, no one likes to dress up like women in general. Maybe because from the first Mama Maria also rarely dressed up then it also decreased to her two daughters.

"You've come, Salisa, let's sit down first. What do you want to order drinks? let me order for you." Jacob said kindly.

"Umm, no need jacob. Let me order it myself." Salisa then leaves Jacob to order a glass of Americano Coffee and Tiramisu Cake, one of his favorite cakes. After getting what he wanted, Salisa immediately brought a tray containing his order and returned to his seat.

"What do you want Jacob to say?" ask Salisa calmly.

"Eem, are you not sad anymore?" asked Jacob who was astonished why it seemed Salisa was so calm like there was no problem that was happening to him.

"of course. What else am I supposed to do?" I said yesterday that I just want to be happy and raise my son with all my heart and all I have. I don't want to think about other things that would only make Jacob sad. I will also accept all the decisions you make as to how you will behave to me as well as the child in my womb."

"If I didn't want that kid, then what would you do?"

Salisa was silent for a moment and did not immediately answer Jacob's question. It seems Salisa is thinking about it, he never thought if there was a man who did not want his child. Salisa's forehead was wrinkled, her eyes narrowed and her eyes focused on the man before her.

"I haven't thought about it Jacob. But for sure I will keep this child and raise him." Salisa answered with confidence.

"What if the boy asks about his father's whereabouts? Wouldn't you feel so sorry for him if he was going to be made fun of by his friends for not having a father?"

Jacob's question increasingly makes Salisa confused and do not understand, what is really wanted by Jacob. "What do you mean Jacob? please just say it directly. I don't want to convolve anymore."

Jacob did not answer Salisa's question directly. First, Jacob sipped the coffee that still looks soaring and looks hot. Jacob let out a long sigh and stared fixedly at Salisa.

"I'll take responsibility for that kid Salisa. But all this I did was for the sake of that boy. I agreed to marry you so that our children could be listed on the state deed and grow up like any other child. I will also give you a living like a wife. I just can't give my heart to you. You know for yourself that I already have a woman that I love. I'm gonna tell Ana all this. I hope you can work with me."

"Of course Jacob, I'm so grateful you're admitting this kid. Later I will never interfere with your personal life. I don't expect a living from you either. I can still work and support myself. One thing I ask of you. Hide this secret to everyone, especially my family. I don't want them to be sad for me."

"Again, that's exactly what I want from you. I also don't want to make Grandpa sad and disappoint him. I also ask you that we can perform a show before them like a harmonious husband and wife who love each other."

"Our obstetrician? Then I'll take you to Salisa. I'm not working today anyway."

"No need for Jacob, I can do it myself" replied Salisa unwilling to trouble Jacob.

"Come on, I'm dropping you off anyway not for you. I did it for my son."

Salisa finally agrees to Jacob's offer. Salisa followed where the man was walking towards his car park. During the journey they did not greet each other. Salisa continued to look out the window without looking at Jacob. Jacob also continued to focus on the wheel.

While at the hospital, Salisa soon meets Doter whom he has reserved before. Jacob didn't come into the room and didn't intend to go into the check room. But suddenly a nurse came up to him and asked him to come in.

"Please come in, sir, your wife will be more pleased if you can accompany her."

"Thank you sister." replied Jacob who then entered the check room. Inside, Salisa is seen lying down. The doctor took a stethoscope and placed the round end in Salisa's stomach.

Jacob slightly turned when he saw Salisa's stomach open. Jacob only listened to Salisa's experiments with the Doctor. Jacob was relieved because the Doctor said that the Salisa Content was fine. The doctor also instructed that Salisa can check the content regularly in accordance with the scheduled time.

After finishing with the examination, Salisa and Jacob immediately say goodbye and thank the Doctor.

"It's noon today Salisa, we should have lunch together" Jacob said, looking around there might be a restaurant nearby.

"No need for Jacob. You don't have to be so nice to me like this. I can still do everything by myself" Salisa said, not wanting to hang her nose on Jacob.

"Who cares and wants to be nice to you. I told you that. I did all the good things for my son. I'm not doing this for you, Salisa. So you don't have to feel sad like this. How could I let my son wait until he's starving."

Jacob then buys his car in a restaurant that looks luxurious and classy. "Let's go down" Jacob told Salisa.

Salisa follows Jacob's will and goes into the resto Jacob chose for him. That day Jacob ordered so many meals that all were Salisa's favorite. Jacob little know about Salisa's favorite when they used to eat together several times in Bali.
