Marrying Handsome Housed

Chapter 34 Fear of Loss

Juwita is done with the shower procession and its series. Currently he is sitting sweetly on a mattress whose bed sheet has been replaced while enjoying a breakfast made by Jeff in the form of two sheets of toast and eggs cow's eyes with a perfectly round yellow part. While Jeff himself was busy with household affairs that are usually done Juwita.

Actually Juwita is not as sick as that to sit like a paralytic. He can walk slowly but Jeff insists on banning him. Of course the only reason is for Juwita to recover quickly and they can go back to fighting in the hot bed.

"Who?" ask Jeff. The man seemed to be done with his homework.

Jeff sat on the edge of the bed, saw an empty plate then saw Juwita devouring his last fruit and answered with a nod of his head.

"Capek no? Here, I'll help you massage your legs!" bargain Juwita after Jeff got rid of his cutlery.

"No really!" reject Jeff.

Jeff got into his comfortable bed. Positioning himself sitting leaned back then pulled Juwita to hug him from behind. It's been so far, Jeff thinks it's time to tell Juwita a little secret.

"Wi, there's something I want to tell you" Jeffsa said. Jeff not only hugged Juwita, but also leaned his head on Juwita's shoulders.

"What?" ask Juwita by playing Jeffsa's chin.

"It's about my family" Jeffsa replied.

Juwita turned her head, looking at Jeff at close range with an unusual gaze. No one knows for sure about the Jeffsa family. Even Natalie, Bubu, Ayunda, and Azzam are the closest people to Jeff. They only know Jeff has a family but don't know more about it.

"You really have a family, Jeff?" ask Juwita.

"Have it" Jeffsa replied.

"Who?" juwita asked with a flat face. It could be said that the hue of his face was almost whitened. His newly healed heart from the wound of loving Sadewa will not be broken back by Jeff right?

"What do you mean, Wi?" ask Jeffsa.

"What you called family just now, isn't your wife or your son, is it? I'm your only wife, right? You don't have a wife but me and you don't have kids, do you?" ask Juwita.

Jeff smiled broadly at Juwita's line of questions. Then kissed whatever Juwita had to hope for. "My wife is just you, Wi. Then about my son he should still be swimming in your belly. He was just made last night, did you forget?" answer Jeffsa.

Juwita sighed in relief, thank goodness then. To be honest, his heart almost came out of fear that Jeff would have been married and had children. But because Jeff said that he was his only wife, Juwita calmed down. So what if Jeff has a family? Wouldn't everything be the same? Didn't he just need to assume Jeff's family was his family as well?

It should be. But as soon as he saw the change in expression on Jeff's face when telling about his family, Juwita understood that something must be wrong.

"Jeff, what's wrong?" ask Juwita. Hope Jeff is willing to share his life burden about the family he has.

"You're not angry, Wi?" ask Jeffsa.

"Why should I be angry?" ask Juwita.

"Because I didn't tell you in the first place" Jeffsa replied.

Juwita smiled, then turned around. Now replace him who hugged Jeffsa and showered him with a kiss.

"Don't move too much!" jeff scolded when he saw Juwita grimacing when he kissed her. But Juwita did not heed Jeff's ban.

"Do I deserve to be angry? I'm the one who asked you to get married. Without acquaintance, without preparation and without finding out who you really are. Everyone knows you have a family, but everyone understands there must be a reason for you to choose to stay here and separate from them. I also believe the same thing. For me, as long as the family you called just now is not your wife and child, it doesn't matter" Juwita said.

"You're serious, Wi?" ask Jeffsa.

"Seriously," replied Juwita.

"Wi, can you promise me one thing?" ask Jeffsa.

"What?" ask Juwita.

"Can you promise me. That whatever happens next don't ever get away from my side?" ask Jeffsa.

"Jeff, is there anything that scares you to say something like this?" ask Juwita.

"Wi, there's something that scares me. But what scares me more is that you leave me" Jeffsa replied.

"Is that one promise all I want, Jeff?" ask Juwita.

"Eum" Jeffsa replied.

"But I can give you more promises" Juwita said.

"More? Anything?" ask Jeffsa.

"I promise I won't leave you. Will not cheat. Just love you for a lifetime and accompany you no matter what. No matter what, I will still choose to be next to you" replied Juwita.

"Because I love you" replied Juwita.

Jeff smiled faintly, what Sadewa said at that time seemed to be true. As long as Jeff has Juwita's heart, then Juwita will definitely give up everything. But just this is not enough. Because what Jeff was afraid of was if Jeff had to go back home. Even more afraid if Juwita no longer wants to live with him after knowing how complicated and stressful the family is.

Jeff might be able to force Juwita to stay with him even though Juwita refuses. But it's not that kind of coercive household that Jeff wants. So before that happens, before his parents justify a thousand ways to separate them, it is better to tell Juwita the core of the problem so that there is no misunderstanding between them someday.

"Wi, actually I ran away from home for refusing a matchmaking plan. It's been years since I left home. They're still looking for me until now. But there are my grandfathers who always help me so they don't find me. But, Wi! One day, what if they find us and don't approve of our marriage?" ask Jeff again.

Juwita took a good look at Jeffsa's words. Then reverse that question for Jeffsa. "Is this what scares you, Jeff?" ask Juwita.

"Eum" Jeffsa replied.

"What about you, what would you do if that happened? Are you gonna leave me?" ask Juwita.

"No, I'll still choose to live with you. So, what about you?" ask Jeffsa.

"Everything I'm gonna do depends on what you're gonna do, Jeff. As long as you still love me and want to be with me, then I will also live with you" replied Juwita.

Jeff hugged Juwita. It's getting deeper and tighter. Honestly, the answer that came out of Juwita's mouth seemed to provide calm in Jeff's deepest heart. "Thank you, Wi!"

"I have to thank you, Jeff!" juwita.

"Why?" ask Jeffsa.

"Because you gave me so much happiness" replied Juwita.

"really?" ask Jeffsa.

"True," replied Juwita.

The two human children who were drunk with love laughed. Teasing each other hugging and other friendly behavior. Until Jeff resumed their conversation.

"Wi, there's actually so much I want to tell you. But I'm not quite ready to tell you everything. Can you give me more time? I promise I'll tell you everything one day" Jeffsa continued.

"I'll wait for you until that time comes, Jeff!" sahut Juwita's.

"Darling, it looks like I'm falling more and more in love with you" Jeffsa said.

Juwita responded with a smile. Then dare to ask something that is still stuck. Their agreement about divorce before marriage is no longer valid, right?

"Jeff, we're never gonna get divorced, are we?" ask Juwita.

"Darling, didn't I tell you not to talk about it. Forever, I will never divorce you. I promise I won't leave you. Everything you promised me before, I promised it to you too. Not only that, I also promise you're the only one who's going to give birth to my children. How's it?" ask Jeff while giving his little finger.

"I'll remember your promise, Jeff!" juwita answered by thrusting her little finger into Jeffsa's little finger.

"Wi, because it's like this. What do you think if we have a child soon?" ask Jeffsa.

"That's a good idea" replied Juwita.

"So, when do you think we can do it again so that our child is born soon?" ask Jeffsa.

"Jeff, I'm just saying it's a good idea. But that doesn't mean you want to have children soon. Then why are your hands infiltrating everywhere?" reply Juwita.

"Because they're so seductive. Wi, by the way don't you want to give birth to many children for me?" jeffsa asked, beginning to sulk.

"No way" replied Juwita.

"Why?" ask Jeffsa.

"I haven't felt what it's like to have one child. So how could you think of having more kids?" reply Juwita.

"But I want more kids, Wi. I promise I'll work harder. Earn more money and buy a bigger house later. I'll also stay up late taking care of them so you can sleep well. Change her diaper and sing a song before going to bed. Can you have more than one child?" ask Jeffsa.

"Jeff, we'll think about that later. Just like you asked me to stop working because I was overtime. I want to spend more time with you, too. So can we just enjoy every moment we have right now?" juwita.

"All right," said Jeffsa.

"But, by the way, what is your job. Why do you have so much money. Then are you the son of a rich man, why is there such a matchmaking event?" ask Juwita.

"That's it, when you get well, I'll take you to see my work. If it's my family, they only have more money than us" Jeffsa replied.
