Marrying Handsome Housed

Chapter 28 Jeff's Confession

"So where did Juwita go?" ask Sadewa after Melodi gets home.

"You know he's coming?" sahut Jeffsa's.

"Of course I know. He couldn't have gotten in if there was a melody. That's why you kicked him out, right?" answer Sadewa.

Jeff smiled as he shifted his eyes. Admiring Sadewa's always-right guess. Perhaps, if Melodi was not pregnant first Sadewa would really marry Juwita. "So in Bubu's room, now in Anggara's room. Do you want to go there for a family reunion?" bargain Jeffsa.

"I want to go there but not now" Sadewa refused.

"You want to give them time to be alone?" ask Jeffsa.

Now it's Sadewa's turn to smile because Jeff's guess is also right. Many years Juwita and Anggara hold the status of brother and foster sister. But during that time there was no interaction like a brother. Because Anggara is already sorry and shows his seriousness, then Sadewa will give more time for them and hope that the bad relationship can still be repaired.

"Jeff, please massage my legs!" sadewa said to divert the conversation.

"I'm not a masseuse!" turn Jeff down and go to the window. The man who is actually a little confused is looking for a beautiful scenery that may be presented while thinking about his household life with Juwita which must be difficult in the future.

"But you include my sister-in-law. Don't you want to be a little devoted to me?" ask Sadewa.

Jeff moved back closer. But not to respond to the ravings of Sadewa or massage. "There's something I want to talk to you about" Jeff said, taking his expression more seriously.

"Tell me," said Sadewa. Just like Jeff, Sadewa has also started to get serious now.

"Do you know Zane's word?" ask Jeff casually. But that casual remark earned him a blow from Sadewa.

"What is the name of a great man like him you can just call? Jeff, watch your mouth if you don't want your tongue cut off!" sadewa warned.

"Sadeva, if it's someone else they deserve to be afraid. But I don't have to be afraid because I'm his granddaughter" Jeffsa said.

Jeff already considers Sadewa as his relative. So there was no need to hide his identity anymore from Sadewa. Because honestly, Jeff doesn't know how complicated it will be. But for sure Jeff needs people he really believes in to keep Juwita. Just just in case, because if until the grandmother and her parents have acted all her friends and neighbors are still not enough. Jeff had also planned to tell Anggara after this.

"You serious, Jeff?" ask Sadewa.

Sadewa does not know what kind of expression he has now. But Jeff's confession made him a little anxious. Not anxious because he had asked Jeff to massage his legs, but more worried about Juwita.

"I'm serious" Jeffsa replied, lowering his head.

Jeff finally told Sadewa everything. From beginning to end with no one to miss. Jeff who ran away from home, Jeff who sought but protected his grandfather, Jeff who struggled to find a mouthful of rice himself and much more until his meeting with Juwita that day.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" sadewa asked after understanding the outline of the problem Jeffsa was facing.

"Nothing right now" Jeffsa replied.

"But it seems like something is troubling your mind" Sadewa continued.

"It's because of Juwi. I want to give her a quiet and comfortable life. For that I have not dared to say anything because I was afraid that it would make him burdened. But if I don't tell you, I'm afraid he'll get angry and hate me and leave me" Jeffsa said.

"Jeff, are you really in love with my sister?" ask Sadewa.

Jeff punched the rough part of Sadewa's wound that was bandaged. But the expression Jeff showed instead made Sadewa bitter.

"What kind of question is that, Sadewa? Of course I fell in love with him, otherwise I would have to worry about this" Jeffsa protested.

"Jeff, Juwita is loyal. If you don't want to lose her, then you just have to be honest and get her love" Sadewa said.

"Can you be trusted?" ask Jeffsa.

"Of course you can. Jeff, did you forget before marrying you that she loved me once" replied Sadewa.

One of Jeff's lips lifted at Sadewa's reply. About that Jeff already knows, but can if Sadewa does not bring it up again?

"You must have said it on purpose, right?" jeff asked by throwing a pillow at Sadewa. But did not hit the target because Sadewa had already risen to go to the Anggara room.

"He's Mr. Anggara's personal assistant. She's been there since last night" replied the nurse then left after Juwita said thanks.

Juwita hesitated, especially when she saw the woman crying and hurriedly wiped her tears. Long enough Juwita wait before venturing to enter because he wants to see the state of Anggara.

"Am I bothering you?" juwita asked the girl who had just prepared warm water and cloth to wash Anggara.

The girl immediately turned her head, then immediately greeted Juwita politely. Beautiful face, sincere smile. I don't know why Juwita liked it even though it was their first meeting.

"Oh, absolutely not. Is your name Juwita?" answer the girl.

"You know my name?" juwita asked with a shocked expression. This was supposed to be their first meeting, did Juwita misremember?

"Pak Anggara often told me all about you. My name is Prita, nice to meet you" replied Prita.

"Tell me about me?" ask Juwi. But it was answered only with a smile by Prita.

Prita slide, then take her bag before saying goodbye. "You want to see it, right? Then I'll excuse you."

Prita smiled and looked down. But his footsteps stopped because of Juwita's question. "Do you like my brother?" ask Juwita.

"What?" ask Prita.

"Prita, you love my sister, don't you?" repeat Juwita while pointing at Anggara who is still closing his eyes.

"I helped him but he loved you. Loving you so much that it occurred to me to break the family relationship with his parents for your sake" replied Prita.

The world of Juwita stopped for a moment. What Prita just said. Does he know what he is saying. Is this true, but how could not Anggara hate him all this time.

"Don't joke. She hates me so much. He had never even seen me before" Juwita said.

"But I'm not kidding. The reason he hates you, is because he doesn't like you being his sister. He never hated you, never. All right, I'll be out now!" pamit Prita's.

Prita immediately came out of Anggara's room. While Juwita immediately sits down and sees the wound that Anggara can for protecting her. For a moment, Jenny thought. How could the man she hated all this time like her. Is this why Anggara hated her when she called her sister?

Juwita began to sympathize more. He had experienced what it was like to love but not be able to have and it was very painful. But who would have thought Anggara also experienced the same thing behind his cold demeanor? How much pain did he receive from being stuck in such a situation and never being able to express it?

"What does Prita say is right, sister? I'm sorry, Brother!" juwita said after a while pensively in her place.

Juwita took a deep breath and picked up the cloth in the bucket earlier. Then continue Prita's delayed work and wipe the parts she can. Sometimes smiling, sometimes holding back her tears from spilling. But Juwita had to be awkward because the touch of warm water on Anggara's skin made her wake up.

"Jewith?" call Anggara.

"You awake, brother?" ask with a cheerful face.

Anggara smiled, for a very long time he had not seen Juwita smiling warmly at him like this. For a long time they did not say hello. For years, Anggara always hated the name of the sister that Juwita had pinned on their first meeting. But the name of that brother, why is it so fun now?

"Are you okay, Wi?" ask Anggara.

"I'm not okay" replied Juwita.

"What, where does it hurt. Why are you still here if you're not okay. Come on, brother will drive you back to your room and call the Doctor," Anggara said in a panic. The man immediately got up. Forgetting his own pain and putting Juwita first.

"But I don't need a doctor" Juwita refused.

"Jewith?" anggara. Didn't Juwita say she wasn't okay. Why refuse to call a doctor? What if something happens, what if something goes wrong because of yesterday?

"I just want to be hugged, brother, can I?" ask Juwita.
