Mating Hanging With Ketos

Touching Others

As previously planned, Jessy was already preparing to return home to Mariam. After a very warm meal together, it was like getting her family back to their long-lost cousins.

"Darling are you really going home?" Nilam looked at Jessy with a pleading gaze. He was actually not willing if his daughter-in-law left, let alone just returned from the hospital. He still wanted to take care of his son-in-law until he fully recovered.

Jessy just gave a sweet smile. Her mother-in-law asked the same question several times. "Next time Jessy will stay, Mi." He knew Nilam was still heavy to take it off.

"But-"

"Mi." Papi Tama interrupts while embracing Nilam's shoulder. "Here you go, maybe our daughter-in-law misses her grandmother, too." Papi Tama gave understanding, and only got a soft breath from Nilam.

"Yes already, then." Nilam finally broke up. "Then you have to take good care of yourself." Who got the nod from Jessy.

Then they all took turns hugging Jessy, before Jessy actually went home. Too bad Meili had to go home when in the middle of the dinner earlier, because he got a call from his father who grew up once home earlier than usual.

After all is done saying goodbye, now Jessy will be home in between by her husband.

When on the way, the atmosphere in the car there is only silence. Neither of them started a conversation.

Before long, they had reached Mariam's house.

"You what?" Jessy saw Nathan holding his hand when he just got off the car.

Nathan exhaled slowly, earlier when in his house he was held by Mami Nilam he did not protest. But when he was about to clean it up his wife asked why. "Let's not fall."

Jessy's eyes were round hearing that. She was in a terrible accident until her husband was afraid she would fall while walking. "Udah, don't have to be sad." said Jessy.

That's right, Jessy thought.

"God, no rejection. And do not protest." asserted Nathan, until finally he finally took Jessy's hand.

Without saying much, Jessy followed Nathan's steps. At the door Jessy stopped her steps.

"Hand off his hand!" Jessy glanced at Nathan's hand holding her hand. "Then if you see grandma" he added.

Actually, the word shame is only an excuse for Jessy, because the truth is that her heart had been beating faster. Since seeing Nathan who cared so much for him when he was sick and also the speech of his mother who always ringed in his memory caused a different taste in his heart.

Nathan then also directed his gaze at the link of his hand, and looked back at Jessy. "Why indeed? Just holding hands. Even if I touch the other side, grandma won't protest either." Nathan looked relaxed as he said that.

Jessy felt her cheeks and ears heating up. Didn't know her husband if his words made her brain suddenly not function properly.

"Lo-" Jessy grunts to cover up her embarrassment.

Clamps.

"Have you guys arrived?" Mariam stopped the husband and wife debate. Though she had intended to leave the house because she wanted to wait for her regular meatballs, but instead saw her grandson and husband standing at the door. "Why not go in?"

Jessy just smiled stiffly at Mariam's question. "Just wanted to go in, Grandma, but first came out. Just try Grandma in again, then Jessy will go first." replied Jessy.

Mariam who heard her granddaughter's words was a little confused, but strangely she was following Jessy's words. Mariam came back in and closed the door.

Jessy who was still outside just laughed restrainedly, seeing Mariam who turned out to follow her words. Then he immediately opened the door and saw Mariam who was still standing in front of the door. "No, Jessy first" said Jessy, then waltzed in with her husband, who was still holding her hand.

Nathan just shook his head at the behavior of two different women of that age. "Nathan went in first, Grandma." he said before really getting out of there.

Mariam nodded her head hearing that, but she seemed to think of something. "Is there anything weird?" when he was not aware if it was done by Jessy.

Until in the next second, his eyes glared when his consciousness had returned after earlier had splattered. "Bastard grandson!" shout Mariam.
