“Nak, what
you're not gonna arrest Jeremy? He wants to change, baby. Your son needs
his father,” said Mr. Kades.
“No,
Daddyh. My son doesn't need his father. I can raise him myself. I can.”
Tears kept dripping down Evelyn's cheeks, her heart was sore but she had to
taking this decision must be.
“But you
don't keep Dad away from your granddaughter, honey? Jeremy's gone, Dad
no one else, except you and Ayres.” Mr. Kades stared
his son-in-law with a broken heart.
“But I want to
stay at my dad's house.”
“Alright,
you can stay at your dad's. But if you need anything, Ayres does, too,
don't talk to Dad. Yes, Dear.”
Evelyn nodded, though,
dropped a new grain of tears.

Jeremy is back
to his house in the city. Getting into his house was so cold and lonely.
He didn't used to
never felt that, but now, that coldness felt like it made her heart become
frosted. He misses his wife's son. Seeing his wife's crying face
hugging her baby, refusing her to be together again, her heart ached so much.
I don't have to
by what means does he prove that he loves her, he's already in love with her
Evely. Not with the woman he loves his heart feels empty. But all
already, the rice has become porridge. Evelyn refused it.
“Pak, I
back to the village?” ask Maskur.
“Yes, you
just go back.”
“There's a message
make Mr. Kades.”
“No.”
“Create Non Evelyn?”
Jeremy was silent
momentary. “Although the chances are small, want one year, two years or ten
years later, or whenever, I
will always wait for him until he wants to come back to me, despite my death
arrive.”
Mr. Maskur
just stupefied to hear it.
“My pack is not
heard wrong? I have to say that to Non Evelyn?”
“Ya, say
that's him. That's how I feel. L loved her. I never thought
if someone would greatly affect my soul. I'm like that stupid guy
it's crybaby but it's like that. No matter called stupid and crybaby, but
I love her.”
“All right
I will tell you later. Anything else?”
“Help me
to my room.”
“Good.” Paks
Maskur will lift Jeremy's body but trouble.
“This body,
when can I really recover,”grutu Jeremy.
“Pak Jeremy!
Where to?” a man came in.
“You are
in charge of taking care of my house?”
“Iya, Sir. My
Irvan, Miss Evelyn appointed me to take care of this house for as long as Mr. Jeremy
stay in kampung.”
“Ya, already,
help Maskur take me to my room.”
“Good, Sir!”
Mr. Irvan
and Mr. Maskur, together carrying his body Jeremy was brought up to the floor
up, to his room. After that, the wheelchair.
“Kalian
wait outside! I'll call.” his order.
Both men
and that came out of that room.
Jeremy twisted
the wheelchair went to the locked room and came back with an envelope
chocolate in hand.
“Pak Maskur!
Mr Irvan!” call him.
Mr. Maskur
enter the room again, as well as Mr. Irvan.
Jeremy
give me that brown envelope. “Give this to my wife.”
“If Non
Evelyn just, what do I answer?”
“Say it
don't know. Just give it.”
“Good, Sir.
Anything else?”
“No.”
“Then
once I get home, will you sir?”
“Ya.”
Mr. Maskurpun
get out of that room, Jeremy's staying with Mr. Irvan.
“Pak Irvan, I
want to renovate the house. I want to make a pavilion for the kids and the garden
play. Can you set it?”
“For the child Ma'am
Evelyn is it sir? You mean Father's son too? Miss Evelyn is born?”
“Yes, my son
boy, his name is Ayres.”
“Kapan Bu's
Evelyn and Den Ayres were brought here, sir? Let's just get here everything is ready.”
“No idea,
probably will never come.”
Mr. Irvan was surprised
overheard him.
“Prepared
will never come.”
Mr. Irvan
nodding without saying.
“There's a driver,
right?”
“Di terminated,
Sir.”
“Strigger
driver, check my cars, I'm going to showroom.”
“Good, Sir!”
Mr. Irvanpun came out of that room.
Returnees
the room felt cold and empty, looking towards the bed, the bed
that's empty. There was no longer a beautiful girl who was always waiting for him at home. Him
missed him so. The wife who was always by his side even though he was always
hurt her.
Money that
many, abundant possessions could bind as many women as he wanted,
but not with his wife. Everything she had was unable to hold Evelyn
to stay with him. His wife is gone.
Complimentary
many beautiful women surrounded him, he just wanted to be with his wife. Only
his wife, who had sincerely loved him, devoted herself to her husband,
who can only be remembered with him. But not many memories
sweetness, which comes through suffering, heartache and tears.
Jeremy
I feel sorry for wasting it. Running his wheelchair closer
windows whose thick curtains are not closed. Staring out the pitch-black.
Then turned his wheel again towards his neat bed.
Her hand
outstretched touching the pillows piled on his bed. Slowly rub it, though,
the usual place Evelyn was lying there.
“Despite
you're out of me, I'll wait for you to come home. Even if I will
waited for you. There will not be a woman who will replace your position in the
my home. You will be my queen forever, in my life and death, you will be
always be my queen.”
That remark
it was as if it was just a breath because no one heard it.

“This what?”
evelyn asked when Mr. Maskur had returned and gave her a brown envelope,
the next day while still in the hospital and getting ready to go home.
“Kata Sir
Jeremy, it's for Non Evelyn. Mr. Jeremy also told me something.
used to be his words.” Mr. Maskur seemed to be thinking hard.
“Should have
you just write,” said Mr. Arman.
“I don't
know the message will be a lot. A minute.”
Mr. Kades
smiling at the workers. “Still not remember either?”
“Gini Non. In spite of
it's probably a small one, two years or ten years later,
or whenever, I'll always wait for him
until he wants to come back to me, even though the second of my death arrives. Mr. Jeremy spoke
so.”
All that
hearing her surprise, Evelyn looked at Mister Maskur in disbelief.
“Jeremy talk
so?” ask Mr. Kades.
“Iya, Sir
are so. He said it's not so stupid and whiny either but it was Mr. Jeremy
loving Non Evelyn, so she said.”
All eyes
looking at Evelyn who immediately lowered her head, sadness again enveloped her heart.
He should not be affected by a momentary condition. He doesn't know maybe if
Jeremy's been totally cured that word would just be words.
“You didn't
thinking again to return to Jeremy?” ask Mr. Kades.
“No Father.
Now Jeremy's talking like that because no one's accompanying him.
In a moment he was healed, and coming back gallant, he would forget those words.
Will be many women who entertain him, no need to worry.” Evelyn looked down
while taking out the envelope.
Turns out
file ownership of many assets and properties.
“What it is,
Nak?” ask Mr. Arman.
“Letters
land ownership and other property.”
“Maybe
Jeremy doesn't want Ayres to be lacking. Jeremy has changed, then,
he's thinking responsibility to you and Ayres.” Mr. Arman looked at his daughter.
“I don't
want use. I don't know where these things come from.” Evelyn
put those files in an envelope.
“I will
working again, I will support my son with my work.” Disconnecting
Evely.
“But don't
you're back to all that, honey. You save it maybe Ayres needs it!”
proposed Mr. Kades.
“I will
save it but do not use it.” Evelyn closed the brown envelope.
“Thanks,
Mr. Maskur.”
“Ya is done
you're going home now?” ask Mr. Arman.
“Iya, Dad.
We go home.”
Evelyn
look at the baby in the cot, then smile.
“Ayres, ,
Honey, we're going home to Grandpa, son!” said it.
Mr. Kades
he could only shut up and look at his daughter-in-law holding his granddaughter. He knows he wants to
Neither Evelyn nor Jeremy are happy with this separation.
