Marriage to the Destroyer of my Dreams

Episode 23 Nothing Next Time

Arriving in the room, Jillian, who was still upset after seeing the scene a moment ago, chose to call Ethan. Discussing the day after tomorrow, Ethan will take Jillian to the French Embassy for an interview for his visa application. Jillian is determined to accelerate her planned departure to France, because she wants to be released from Jeffran soon.

"Luckily the day after my exam. We'll meet at the Embassy later, Ethan." Jillian has not finished talking to Ethan, but she immediately disconnects the call when Jeffran suddenly enters without permission. Fortunately, Jeffran did not hear the full contents of Jillian's conversation. Only Ethan's name was captured by Jeffran's hearing. But that doesn't seem much better.

"Why do you keep arguing with me, Jill? I told you, don't you dare communicate let alone get close to Ethan again. What else must you do, so that you will obey?" Jeffran looks very emotional, he feels Jillian always provokes his anger, deliberately doing what Jeffran forbids.

"Enough, stop being selfish Jeff.. You've always kept me close to Ethan, even though he and I have nothing to do. I have never interfered in your personal affairs, not once.. Even when your girlfriend's on our vacation, I don't have a problem." Jillian looked fiery, venting her vexation.

"Love? Who do you mean lover?"

"Of course Kak Dhiva, do you have any other lovers besides Kak Dhiva?" Answer Jillian ketus.

"He's not my girlfriend." Jeffran said with angry eyes. Jillian calls Dhiva her lover. But Jillian did not believe what Jeffran said.

"Yes.yes.yes.. Whatever you want to avoid, it's none of my business. Although it feels very laughable, when you hear evasive. Though it is clear your lover is in this resort. Arrive right at dinner time, as if he was fulfilling someone's invitation. It's not a coincidence, is it?" The Jillian sentence that ended his cynical smile, further provoked Jeffran's emotions.

"You're wrong Jill.. I didn't invite him, I did happen to meet him. This afternoon after you asked me not to touch you anymore, I went to the cafe to calm down. That's where I met him, I didn't even say hello to him. He's the one who approached me. I don't know how he knows our room. Maybe he's asking for information from the resort." Jeffran explained at length, not wanting Jillian to misunderstand him. But Jillian was silent. A little hard to trust Jeffran.

"What an unexpected coincidence. Is this destiny? Looks like you guys are being a fool." Sindir Jillian, then stepped towards the door. But Jeffran's hand checks on Jillian's arm, immediately stopping her.

"I don't want you to think I'm related to that woman." Jeffran's voice sounded heavy, as well as the look in his eyes that were staring at Jillian's netra.

"There's no connection between you guys, it still won't change anything between us Jeff. Nothing to do with me at all." Firmly Jillian, then took off Jeffran's hand and hit him violently.

"Jill where are you going?" Jeffran asked as he watched Jillian step out of the room. After first wearing the sweater that Jillian took from inside the closet.

"I'm going to the restaurant, my stomach is hungry." Jillian replied without stopping her steps.

"Come on Jill, I've ordered a lot of food. We'll continue our dinner." Persuade Jeffran, juxtaposing Jillian's steps that are no wider than her steps. The angry expression on Jeffran's face had already disappeared without a trace. Jeffran actually put up a clear look, so that Jillian would meet his request.

"Hmm, okay.. I just don't want to sin by making the food go to waste. Mubadzir.." Jillian said and then walked to the edge of the pool. While Jeffran was walking next to him, seemed to smile happily because he could persuade Jillian to continue their dinner that had been disturbed.

*************************

But Jillian's wish seems to have to be buried deep, because again and again, Jeffran suddenly barged in without his permission.

'Aaaah.. Why do I always forget to lock the door.' Jillian complained in her heart.

"The Good Morning Jill.. I brought breakfast for both of us." Jeffran kept a tray of 2 dishes of fried rice, a glass of warm milk and a cup of jasmine tea on the nightstand. Then sit on the edge of the bed, staring smilingly at Jillian.

"Why smile?" Jillian, who was uncomfortable with Jeffran's gaze, immediately sat herself down.

"I'm just happy, last night we had dinner and this morning I wanted to take you for a walk around the pine forest. Then in the afternoon we can have lunch at the rooftop resort, afternoon we can enjoy the sunset view from the cafe resort, just the night.."

"Jeff, didn't you forget that I have an exam tomorrow? I want us to go home this afternoon."

Jeffran who was very excited to explain the agenda today, immediately frowned disappointed to hear Jillian's words.

"Yes Jill, I'm not forgetting, but I'm happy to take a vacation and spend time with you here. It feels like our vacation is too short Jill." Jeffran complained, looking like a child sulking.

"But I have to study and rest enough Jeff. I don't want to be too tired or sleepy for tomorrow's exam." Persuade Jillian to ask for Jeffran's understanding.

"Well, next time we go on vacation again, Jill. Got to get to a better place and a little longer." Jillian only smiled faintly in response to Jeffran's words.

'But next time it looks like there will never be Jeff.' Jillian in the Heart.

"Jeff, sit on the couch, I'll clean up first. I'll bribe you later."

"Well, you're not usually like this. Usually I have to persuade to ask for bribery, that too often must be bribed first." Jeffran's words ended with a ruckus. While Jillian again only reviewed a thin smile.

'At least I can do my part as a good wife by pleasing you, before I'm gone forever from your life, Jeff.' Inner Jillian.
