Marriage to the Destroyer of my Dreams

Episode 22 Apology

Above the white bed, Jillian drowned herself in pain. Tears that had been held back, now spilled wet the pillow he used to dampen his sobs so as not to be heard outside.

'I know that Jeffran did not have the slightest bit of love for me, but why do I always feel hurt, every time he said it directly? My heart always feels hurt every time I remember what he did to me, but why does my heart always feel more sliced, when I hear that he will only live this marriage well until we officially divorce? Do I have feelings for him? How could I be this injured because of his treatment? I don't want to love her, I really want to hate her for life..' Wail Jillian in heart.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

A knock outside the door, instantly forced Jillian to stop her crying. Jillian suddenly worried that Jeffran would break in, because he realized that he had forgotten to lock the door.

"Jill, please open the door.. I want to talk.."

Jillian rushes down from the bed, running towards the door to lock it, before Jeffran decides to break in because Jillian did not open it. But unfortunately, the door that Jillian was aiming for was already open. Making Jillian and Jeffran stand face to face, with the same expression, which is equally surprised.

"Jill, did you cry?" Jeffran stepped in, stretched out his fingers to wipe away the remaining tears on Jillian's cheeks. However, Jillian evades, not wanting Jeffran to touch her cheek.

"I'm not talking to Jeff, please leave me alone." Jillian.

But Jeffran did not intend to comply with Jillian's request, he actually eroded the distance with Jillian. Staring deeply at the Netra Jillian who was trying to avoid her gaze.

"Jill, are you crying because of me?" Jeffran only realized his stupid question, when Jillian did not also answer his question.

'Stupid Jeffran, of course he's crying because of you. It was you who upset him.' Jeffran's inner voice came to him.

"Sorry Jill, for upsetting you. I admit that I was wrong. Maybe you feel like I don't appreciate you touching you without your permission. But to be honest, I feel very comfortable when I'm with you, I'm sorry I can't control myself." Jeffran said regretfully.

"I'll forgive you.." Jillian's reply instantly made Jeffran smile happily. But his smile suddenly disappeared, when he heard Jillian's next sentence.

"But don't ever touch me again, if you don't love me Jeff." There was a sense of unwillingness in Jeffran's heart, hearing the terms of Jillian. But Jeffran felt there was no other choice for him, because Jeffran always denied his feelings, assuming what he felt for Jillian was not love.

"Well, Jill, I'm not gonna touch you again." Jeffran agreed with a heavy heart, then turned out, to vent his disappointment in his own way. While Jillian looked at Jeffran's back who started to move away with a sad look.

'Why is my heart so disappointed to hear the answer?' Jillian complained in her heart.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

"Jill, out.. Dinner is ready, let's eat. I'm waiting by the pool." Jeffran shouted from outside the door.

Jillian's Netra was perfectly rounded with her heart suddenly beating faster, looking at the unexpected sight before her eyes. The plain table on the edge of the pool was decorated with beautiful candles and white roses, complete with a very tempting dinner menu. The edge of the pool also looks more beautiful with rows of red round shaped candles.

But what surprised Jillian most was, Jeffran seemed to hold a bouquet of red tulips. His appearance also looks very handsome, wearing a white shirt whose hands are rolled up to the elbows, combined with blue jeans.

Jill looked at herself who was wearing only a black body size shirt and gray shorts. Very contrasted with the appearance of Jeffran and also the atmosphere of the dinner place tonight.

'It's wrong costume.' Rutuk Jillian in heart.

"Good night, Jill, this is a flower for you. I read once that tulips mean apologies. That's why I gave you this flower. I hope you'll forgive me, Jill." Jeffran said as he held out his bouquet of red tulips, which Jillian greeted doubtfully.

'The tulip flower that symbolizes the apology, the white tulip. The red tulip symbolizes deep and perfect love. Hmm, that's stupid..' Jillian in the Heart.

"Sit down Jill, I've ordered the best food at this resort, you'll love it."

Jeffran took the initiative to pull a chair for Jillian, looking very sweet and quite romantic, making Jillian blush while sitting herself down. Jeffran, who then sat in front of Jillian, can capture the clear red hue on Jillian's face.

The initially awkward dinner begins to melt after Jeffran tells some funny stories. Even Jillian who usually acts flat and thin, until many times laughing widely. This made Jeffran smile happily. His mission to get an apology from Jillian, as well as making Jillian no longer angry with him, was successful.

Suddenly Jeffran and Jillian's room bell rang. For a moment Jeffran and Jillian stared, both frowning. Jeffran felt he didn't order anything more through room service, as did Jillian.

"Let me open." Said Jeffran, as Jillian was about to stand up to open the door. Jillian only gave a short nod, followed by Jeffran who then stepped towards the door.

When the door opened, Jeffran was so surprised to find the face of someone he was so unexpected. A beautiful woman wearing a knee-high black dress, showing her sexy legs.

"Dhiva?"

"Hi Jeff's.. We meet again." Dhiva said, showing off his sensual lips polished lipstick red light.

While Jill who was secretly peeking out of curiosity with the guests who came, now began to be overwhelmed with annoyance.

'So this dinner is not for me. Now the special guest has arrived.' Lirih Jillian, then turned to go to her bedroom.
