After Briana's departure, Jenny looked pensive. He did not expect that he would dare to accept the decision. Desperate, he had no other choice. Imagining in the near future she must be the wife of a Jeffrey who is none other than his arch enemy immediately makes her shudder.
Drrt.. Drrt.. Drrt..
The vibration of a flat object from inside his pocket instantly returned his once-vastening mind. The girl who was being overwhelmed by the turmoil immediately grabbed her phone.
Sean:
Good morning Jenny, I went to your class but it looks like you didn't take a class today, are you okay?
The heart throbbed when it got a message from Sean.
Honestly, Sean's whereabouts have actually begun to occupy Jenny's heart. And once again, her heart throbbed violently, remembering that she had to give an answer to Sean's love statement a few days ago. Jenny did not want to make the handsome prince wait too long if in the end she had to be disappointed.
Jennies:
Sean, where are you? Can we meet now? I'm going to meet.
Sean:
Of course you can. Tell me your position now, let me meet you.
Jennies:
I'm at Livingstone Coffee Shop, near Cambridge Hospital.
Sean:
Okay. I'm sliding down there now.
A little while later Sean had arrived at a Coffee Shop where Jenny was waiting.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting too long" said Sean, who pulled the bench and landed his body. A smile continued to look at his face.
"Sean, can't we just be friends?" ask Jenny directly at the core of the purpose of the conversation. It was hard for him to say that too.
Instantly Sean's smile gradually faded. She was very understanding of what Jenny was saying at this moment.
"Why?" sean asked disappointedly.
Jenny was still silent and looked down. He was confused, how should he explain. While on the other hand, she did not want Sean to know about her getting married soon.
"Why just shut up Jenn? I like you and I'm sure you like me too, so why can't we date?" sean said so sure.
"Aren't you really feeling more for me even if it's just as small as a pebble?" ask Sean who's trying to find answers from Jenny's face.
"Actually I've started to like you Sean, but it seems we are only destined to be friends" said Jenny who as much as possible closed all her sadness.
"May I know what is the reason for my love being rejected?"
"Sorry Sean,"
Sean breathed heavily. He understood the short answer from the girl as a sign that he was reluctant to tell the reason for his rejection of love further.
"All right, I'm not gonna force you. But if you change your mind, let me know immediately because my heart will always be wide open for you" Sean said, displaying a forced smile on his distinctive lip shape.
"Thank you Sean" said Jenny full of days.
Disappointed? Sean was disappointed. They share the same feelings but cannot form love for a reason that he does not know at all.
The hopes? Surely the handsome grayish-laced man still holds high hopes for his feelings for Jenny.

Along the way to Jeffrey's apartment, Briana seemed to be circulating her gaze at the scenery outside the car glass. The atmosphere of the city looks cooler because of the many shady trees lined up neatly and beautifully on each lip of the street with typical buildings describe the city of Cambridge with the nickname as a student city.
The beautiful woman who almost turned half a century was relieved about Jenny's approval to become her daughter-in-law. Although, he was forced to use the actual way it was not something good.
Briana could have financed Emy's treatment selflessly, because after all, Emy was her favorite friend. But he also did not want to waste the opportunity.
"Master, hang on. An ambulance will arrive soon. I beg you to hold on" cried Briana who looked frantically at the sight of Thomas who was already severely wounded with a body drenched in blood.
Meanwhile, Jeffrey who was also very close to Thomas looked shocked with a limp body accompanied by a great throbbing on his head. The bones in his body seemed to have no function to support his body. Not because of the minor injuries he got, but he saw himself someone was betting his life on his lap for trying to help him from the angel of death.
"I have a very beautiful and brave little girl, everyone will be very easy to like," Thomas forced his tongue to speak in between his heavy breaths.
"D-yeah, huh! huh! D-he's a good girl, I want to, huh! he lives happily" he said, which is getting more difficult. His breath seemed to be stuck in the throat. Put the parent organ getting weaker. His body was no longer able to hold a soul and finally released and flew to heaven.
"Madamma, we have arrived at our destination" said the private driver, who broke Briana's daydreams in the past.
Briana was at Jeffrey's doorstep. His fingers pressed several numbers lined up neatly on the Access Door machine. In addition to Jeffrey, Briana is the second person who knows the password of the apartment door.
"Aren't you able to welcome Mommy with a slight smile? Though my little Jeffrey always looks cheerful and smiles sweet even though his front teeth are toothless," grumbled Briana who saw Jeffrey always put on a sour face.
"Did Mommy eat?" ask Jeffrey who refused to serve the tweet of the Mommy.
"Mommy hasn't eaten yet, but Mommy intends to take you out for lunch" Briana said.
Without saying anything, Jeffrey headed for the mini kitchen. Take some groceries out of the refrigerator and start playing some kitchen utensils.
It did not take long, the dish made from fish fillets that were draped with flour and fried then served with fries was ready to be executed. Not to forget the tartar sauce and saun sambal also complement the dish known as fish and chips that further add to the taste of delicacy.
"I'm lazy to go out, we eat at home," said Jeffrey while putting two portions of fish and chips on a minimalist dining table.
"Hemm, your cooking is always delicious" said Briana with her mouth still chewing food.
"Did Mommy just find out now?" reply Jeffrey coldly while cutting the fish fillet wrapped in flour then put it in the mouth.
"Mommy was surprised, where your talent was revealed," Briana said.
"So soon finish your meal, after that talk," said Jeffrey who seemed to know the purpose of the arrival of the Mommy.
"Hi! You son of a bitch," Briana's son who then refocused on spending his lunch. Because he himself also did not want to delay too long to tell his son about the decision of Jenny who received the matchmaking.
After finishing eating their meal, the two blood-related human children returned to the living room.
"Honey, today Mommy met Jenny, the sweet girl has given the decision to accept this matchmaking," Briana began to open the conversation. Honestly he was worried if Jeffrey still insisted on rejecting the decision as it had been.
"Well, Jeffrey also accepted the match?" jeffrey said that immediately made Briana stunned, because Jeffrey's answer was not as he had worried a moment ago.
"Is what Mommy heard just now not wrong? Honey, are you sure about what you said?" Briana tried to convince the truth of Jeffrey's words.
"Why is Mommy still asking me? Would you say yes if I refused? In any case, no matter how much I oppose it, you will still force me to accept this matchmaking, because that girl's decision is what you prioritize" Jeffrey said disappointedly.
"Darling, maybe you're disappointed by Mommy and Daddy's attitude that always forces you, but it's for your own good too. Jenny's a good girl" Briana said, cupping Jeffrey's hands that looked bigger than his. Staring closely at his son's pair of green irises.
"Women who marry for money are they called good women? Actually, what kind of magic that the shabby cat sends to Mommy that makes Mommy blind will be the bad that is clearly very noticeable," Jeffrey scorned in the heart.
"Mommy just take care of the wedding, I'll do it. But I want to apply for a condition,"
"What are the terms, baby? Don't be that weird because Mommy's gonna turn it down,"
"I want this marriage to be kept a secret until I graduate, '" Jeffrey made a condition with a meaningful face-to-face look.
"Why should it be kept secret, dear?"
"Oh Mom, I don't want my friends to laugh at me for getting married young" Jeffrey reasoned.
"Alright, Mommy accept your terms,"
Briana thought the terms her son proposed were not a big deal. For him, Jeffrey is no longer against this matchmaking is already a very extraordinary thing. He did not expect, his son who was famous for the opposition could become the obedient as now.
