Marrying the Doctor's Widow

Part 28's. The Tears of Jovanka.

In the classroom, Jo looks gloomy. Salsa could see from the blank eyes. Classes began to be crowded with students and students who had arrived to study there.

Not long after, the teacher came and gave lessons, especially the lessons included in the exam. The time is doubled so that the students are better prepared to run the national exam.

“Jo, why you?” whispered Salsa.

“Gak papa,” says Jo brief.

He took out a notebook and his writing utensils from the bag.

Salsa is still watching. Jo is indeed good at hiding his feelings of sadness, he does not say anything when the lesson is starting, let alone math lessons that require him to concentrate more highly.

Students and students take lessons seriously. There was no joking or laughter in the classroom, creating silence in the classroom. Only the sound of chalk dancing on the black board, the wall clock that felt increasingly quickly passed until the school bell did not feel rang.

“Eat, Jo?” bring Salsa.

“No, Sa. I'm not laper.”

Jo leaned her back against the clean white classroom wall.

“I know, you're making a fuss with Rey, right?” ask Salsa.

Silent.

In less than five minutes, the clear water fell back in the corner of Jovanka's eye.

“Ceradize, Jo. What problem? Maybe I can help. At best, your feelings will improve if you share your sadness with me,” Salsa explained.

“Rey already knew that I would get married soon, after graduating from school,” Jo explained.

Ari's eyes fell back on Jovanka's cheeks.

Jovanka's eyes are more and more slurred because of the sad cry of the day. Flushed cheeks had adorned his face, perhaps Jo felt angry. But who should be angry with?

This is purely because of his match with Alexy by his parents.

“Kok can know?” salsa's forehead frowned, astonished.

“Tante Emillia who told you.”

“Loh .. how is aunt Emi?”

“Entah. But it's good, Rey knows. So, I don't have to tell you things that I might not be able to say. My lips feel muddy when expressing that taste.” Those tears were back in freefall on her smooth cheeks.

“Jo, actually. Yesterday it was Rey seeing you picked up by Alex. Maybe that's one of Rey's triggers to get angry. Rey seems to want to keep you. He wants to prove it to your parents. But, you yourself said that your father did not allow Rey to prove his seriousness to you,” Salsa explained at length.

Silent.

The school bell has rung. Time to be free from the thought of being forced to work hard to absorb knowledge, finally ended up along with the sound of the school bell sign home. While the twelfth grade there are still additional hours for the tested lessons.

“Rey, wait!” vicky said and ran.

Rey walked without looking.

“Lu why si, Rey? Any problems with Jovanka?” ask Vicky to pull up.

“Not business, lu!” answer Rey ketus.

“Rey!” Vicky pulled Rey's arm. “Obviously it concerns me, I'm your best friend! I have a right for you to concentrate so that your value does not plummet. You have already accepted at DFS as a smart scholarship winner!”

Rey looked Vicky in the eye.

“Lu himself said, if you want to be a pilot. You want to make you proud. But, because of this problem, you ignore your determination to be happy in nyokap you, huh?”

Vicky spoke with a hardened neck, maybe he meant to resuscitate his best friend.

Rey bowed.

“Turn,” Rey's voice sounds weakened.

Vicky was in control carrying his FU motorbike. Because he knew that his best friend was having problems that caused his concentration to decrease.

.

Sretti.

Vicky parked the bike in the rented yard. Rey sat on the terrace chair, coincidentally the atmosphere in the boarding house was quiet. Rey decides to tell Vicky on the porch while enjoying a gust of wind in the afternoon.

Rey took a deep breath and let him out slowly.

“Jo wants to get married, Vic,” said Rey Parau.

“What? How can? Same who? Means all this time he's only bakainin, lu?” ask Vicky kepo.

“Entah. Jo used to run away from home. But I don't want.”

“Why? Don't you two love each other?”

Rey nodded.

“Then? Why don't you lakain? If I were you, I would have done it a long time ago. Moreover, you are also a rich man in Jalarta.”

“Sstttt!” Rey smothered Vicky's mouth. “Don't cry! Can be good if anyone knows,” connect Rey and then release his arm.

“Gue is still confused, Rey. Your life is full of puzzles.”

Rey smiled.

“Because, I don't want to marry without the blessing of a parent, Vic. I want to be happy living with someone I love. I also believe, if the soul mate will not go where.”

“But, until when do you wait?”

“Entah.” Rey ended.

***

Rey is busy preparing for her school move to DFS while the Jovanka family has been busy preparing wedding dress fittings, choosing WO and star hotels in the city of Bandung.

Jo came in with shaky footsteps. Climb the stairs to get into her room.

“Jo, the bride-to-be is lethargic?” asked Emillia who was visiting her house.

Jo just glanced at Emillia. Her heart ached a little with her talk towards Rey.

It's possible that Aunt Emillia overestimated her conversation with Rey, so Rey was so angry with me, shrieking in her heart.

“Tubing here, Jo!” bring Emillia.

“Gak, aunt. Thanks!”

Jo steps her feet towards the room regardless of her tant, who used to be very close to her.

Not long ago. Emillia catches up with Jo who is in the room. He felt that something was wrong with his father.

Gts ... Gts ... Gts ....

Emillia knocks on Jovanka's bedroom door.

“Jo, can aunty come in?”

“Log in!”

Chequek.

Emillia stepped up, and sat on the edge of Jovanka's bed.

“Jo, why you? You sad?”

“Papa's boy, Tan. What are you doing here?”

“Jo. Sorry aunt for telling me your wedding was Rey's. Aunty doesn't mean anything, Aunty just wants your matchmaking to be smooth. Your parents gave their best to you, Jo.”

Jo smiled wryly.

“The best for parents, not necessarily good for Jo, Tan!”

“Means?” Emillia's forehead frowned.

“Married without love what would it be? Jo can't imagine.”

“Trust me, Alexy is a good person, Jo.”

“Iya. Jo knows! Jo feels sorry for Om Alexy if until Jo can not love Jo for him.”

“Love will come as you live together, Jo.”

Again, the people around him spoke like that. Jo just sighed and always wished she was given the best for her soul mate. Life partner, age remaining.

God, if Rey knew, if there was only him in my heart, he was and there would be only him in my heart. The heart of Jovanka.

Silent.

No more words between Emillia and Jovanka. Only silence occurred in that spacious enough room. Jo remained tightly hugging her teddy bear, without staring at Emillia who was beside her.

Finally, Emillia came out of the room and Jo broke down and closed her eyes. Reluctantly still drifting, he always imagined his partnership with Reynand. The one who had stolen her heart, even her name had been attached in the mind and filled the entire space in Jovanka's heart.

“Rey, I miss you,” said Jovanka as she closed her eyes and shed tears.

***

Drrttt ....

Hand phone Jo vibrates.

Jo opened his eyes, Jam showed at two in the morning. With very heavy eyes, Jo finally reached for the phone located on the nightstand. Jo sliding screen hand pbone.

“Salsa?”

Jo opened a short message from salsa.

(Jo can meet tomorrow, right? It matters!) message from Salsa.

(Can, where?) jovanka Reply.

(I'll be at your house tomorrow. Don't go anywhere, huh?) a message from Salsa.

(Ok! See you's.) Jovanka Pungkas.

Jo recalls her friendship with Rey. On that dark night, Jovanka opened her bedroom window. He looked at the gate, where Rey was waiting for him when Jo was angry with him. Jo also remembers the protection and comfort Rey always gave her.

“Yes God, can I step with others? Can I live without the love of Rey every day?”

Jo came back with tears. He chose to sit on the balcony of his room. Enjoying the downstream wind of the night before a bone-chilling morning.

“Tonever thought of me

Not one bit I imagine

You're gonna go leave me alone

It's so hard to imagine

So sick I felt

You're going to leave me alone.”

The tears were unstoppable again, continuing to flow down her cheeks. In fact, several times Jo rubbed it, the water again glided freely on her cheek. The song seemed to gush from the bottom of his heart. He feels that he will be left behind by Rey, whether they will meet again or not, after Jo gets married and Rey changes schools. It's getting harder for them to be together.

.

Until the morning, Jo was unable to sleep until her eyes were slightly black due to lack of sleep.

Gts ... Gts ... Gts ....

“Non Jovanka, there is Non Salsa,” said her domestic assistant behind the door.

“Log in!” jo shouted from the balcony of his room.

Chequek.

The door to the room is open.

“Jo?” greet Salsa.

“Iya, Sa. What's up?”

Jo still looked outside the gate blankly.

Salsa approached and saw Jo. Salsa was concerned about the state of her best friend. He did not expect, the journey of his best friend's life can be this complicated. Salsa remembered when they were four, always cheerful and always fluffy smile on Jovanka's lips.

“I want to give this to you, Jo. It's yours.” Salsa gave the white paper bag.

“This what?”

Jo looked on with an inexplicable look.

“Open aja.”

Jo opened the small paper bag and took out the thing inside. The heart-shaped bright red object was opened by Jovanka.

Jo was stunned to see the heart-shaped necklace. He took it and opened the locket.

“Rey?”

Jo's tears fell back on her cheeks.

“What does it mean, Sa?”

“You just read that pink paper. Rey wrote something,” Salsa said.

Jo opened the small paper and read the contents of the letter. Jo's gaze suddenly turned dark, black and then he was unconscious.

“TANTE!!” Salsa shouted hysterically.
