Marriage to the Destroyer of my Dreams

Episode 24 Realizing the Feelings

The sky was still cloudy, even the sun seemed reluctant to reveal itself. It was precisely the black cloud that excitedly signaled, that the sky was preparing to shed its tears this afternoon.

But the scene was in stark contrast to Jeffran's face and mood sitting behind a desk in his study. How not, a smile can not be separated from Jeffran's face, since he set foot in the company until now. All the employees who passed by him were stunned, because their CEO finally returned their greetings with a smile, no longer just a nod with a firm look and sharp eyes.

Even the company management was made astonished, when treated to the friendly face of the CEO at the meeting management this morning. Their CEO who always spread a cold aura with the glare of those sharp eyes, suddenly smiled throughout the course of the meeting. What a rare sight.

Liam looked at the astonished Jeffran who was commenting on a big smile towards the laptop in front of him. Liam's curiosity led him to see what object Jeffran was looking at right now.

"What's? I think you're looking at the company's increasing profits, it turns out Jillian's face is making your mood good all day."

Jeffran reflexively closed his laptop, then changed the look of his face as flat as possible, trying to hide the smiles on both corners of his lips.

"It's normal to look at a wife's face." Jeffran's words successfully made Liam's mouth gaping, complete with perfectly rounded eyes.

"Wife? I didn't hear wrong, did I? You're always mad, whenever I call Jillian your wife." Liam was completely shocked by Jeffran's change in attitude.

"I'm starting to accept my marriage with her, even I feel happy every time I'm with her. Moreover, for these few days his attitude was so sweet to me. She bribed me, peed my head when I was dizzy, played games together, watched TV together, even stroked my hair when I was sleepy after work. It's sweet, isn't it?" Jeffran's smile returned when he told Jillian.

"You're in love with Jeff.." Liam's words made Jeffran flinch. His feelings were mixed when he heard Liam's words.

"I'm in love?" Ask Jeffran more to himself.

"You've always denied your feelings Jeff, when I clearly saw the love of your attitude toward Jillian." Again Jeff shook his head, looking at his heart at this moment.

'Am I really in love with Jillian? What is the comfort of being around him, not liking seeing him with another man, fearing to let him down, not wanting him to get angry and all these strange feelings are because I've fallen in love with him?'

"Pronounce your feelings for him, lest you just regret when you split up. If you love her, you won't divorce her, will you?" Instead of answering Liam's question, Jeffran was busy with his own heart.

'No.. I would never divorce Jillian. Before I didn't know why I could be so hard to let go of him, but now I already know the reason.' Jeffran said in his heart.

"Well.. Even daydreaming. Yes, I left first. Oh yeah, about the girl you're looking for, I found a clue."

"What clues?" Jeffran's face looked very curious.

"The girl was wearing a very beautiful dress and looked expensive. Then I found out on some well-known brand websites. It turns out that the dress is indeed from a well-known brand, and is one of the limited edition collections worth fantastic, so not many people who have the dress. Fortunately they have data from all the dress shoppers in their stores. I'm waiting for their info, they promised to tell me today." Jeffran nodded after hearing all of Liam's explanations.

Jeffran's thoughts and feelings were mixed, he was really afraid when he would find out who the girl was that night. Her feelings for Jillian have convinced her to keep her marriage with Jillian. But the blame for the girl, probably demands Jeffran a big responsibility.

'What if the girl is pregnant? What if the girl demands that I marry her? I really don't want to hurt Jillian anymore. I don't want to lose Jillian, no matter what.' Inner Jeffran.

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

For the first time Jillian visited her parents since she got married. Jillian always felt hard to visit Papa and Mama, for fear that the two loved ones would be rebutted by many after her arrival. Jillian wants Papa and Mama to live a quiet life without having to think about Jillian.

Jeffran was greeted and ushered into the living room by a housekeeper at his in-laws' residence. Smiles are reflected in both corners of Jeffran's lips, when he saw Jillian who was hugging her parents together. But his smile suddenly disappeared, when he realized that his wife was currently crying.

"Papa..Mamma.. Forgive Jill yes, because Jill has tarnished the family's good name. Sorry Jill has made Papa Mama embarrassed and sad. From now on stop thinking about Jill ya Ma, Pa.. Jill loves Mama and Papa.."

Jeffran was overwhelmed by the sight before him. Jeffran knew that Jillian always refrained from visiting her parents, not wanting to add to her injuries and making them even more embarrassed. But when Jillian finally came back to her parents' residence, it was precisely Jillian's apology.

"Eh you came Jeff too. Come on, baby." Mama Jovita, aware of Jeffran's presence, waved her hand, asking Jeffran to come closer. Papa Rendra also coded for Jeffran to sit in front of him, right next to Jillian.

"Papa.. Mamma.. How's things going?" Jeffran asked as he greeted his two in-laws.

"Papa Good News Jeff." Reply Papa Rendra.

"Mama's news is good, too, dear." Timpal Mama Jovita.

Jillian, who had not expected Jeffran to arrive, fell silent. Even he did not say anything, as his parents started chatting lightly with Jeffran.

"Pa.. Ma's.. Jill to the room first yeah, there's stuff that Jill wants to bring to the apartment."

"Jill, ask Jeff to take a look around your room. Surely your husband is tired after all day's work." Papa Rendra's words surprised Jillian.

"Let's ask Bi Rasti to bring warm food and drinks to your room." Timpal Mama Jovita.

Jill only nodded faintly towards Papa and Mama, while Jeffran smiled widely. Jillian actually strongly objected to her Papa's request, but she couldn't possibly refuse her Papa's request.

"Come.." Take Jillian for a short time, while stepping towards her room on the 2nd floor. Next to him Jeffran was seen putting on his deathly smile. Without permission, Jeffran suddenly clasped Jillian's hand tightly.

"Let's have my wife, we're resting in the room. You must also be tired, I will massage ya. Your body will be refreshed. Jeffran said as he rolled his eyes, making Jillian frown.

'What's wrong with him? Very suspicious.' Inner Jillian.
