Mission Jessy

Primary Target

(At Evan's house)

"Van, are you serious?"

"Evan is serious, Ma."

"Van, why the hell do you have to do this with Mama? Are you aware of the decisions you make?"

"Evan knows Ma."

"Van, you are only twenty-two years old and your future is still long, son. Please don't make decisions that you'll regret!"

"Ma, Evan's not a kid anymore. Evan knows very well what Evan chose and Evan is ready to bear all the consequences."

"But, Van" Tarisa began to weep over the decision taken by her beloved son.

"Ma, all this time Evan always participated in the will of Mama. About school, college, work to Jessy. All Evan lasin for Mama. Plis, just this time. Evan's permission to make Evan's own choice, Ma."

"Ngga, Van. You don't even know who that kid is. How could your mama ngijinin you marry him. If you keep pushing, then you have to choose Mama or him."

The door of Bu Rahma's house was knocked from the outside and Bu Rahma rushed to open the door so that Melva would not be awakened by the sound of the knock.

"Eh, Mr. Evan. What's going on here gini nights? Let's get in!"

"Thank you, Mom."

"But Mel's sleeping again, sir."

"Ngga papa, Mom. I'm here to talk to Mom."

"My same? About what, sir?"

"First of all I wanted to tell mom that I was actually just a substitute teacher at Melva school and I was only twenty-two years old. So mom just call me Evan. It's strange to be called sir, hehe.."

Ms. Rahma laughed, "There's just this Evan Boy."

"That's better to hear, isn't it, Mom?"

Ms. Rahma was just begging the young man.

"So, Mom. I'm here to propose to Melva."

"What?"

"Melva is pregnant and she needs people to accompany her and support her."

"Son Evan is calm. There's mommy. I'll take care of everything."

"Mom, Evan knows that mom is an amazing woman. But the child in Mel's womb still needs a father figure, right?"

Madam Rahma started not being able to hold back her tears. "Mom knows and I feel grateful that God sent a man as good as Nak Evan to Mel. But I also realize that Nak Evan deserves to get better than Mel. She is also a mother, son. I know how her mom feels when Evan finds out about this. I also don't want Nak Evan to bear the mistakes Mel did. Let him take wisdom for himself. I'm sure Mel is strong and can face all this with a tough. And mom will always be there for Mel. Let me just, son."

Jessy could only shed tears over her bed. Melva is really lucky to have a mother like Ms. Rahma.

That day Jessy sees Evan talking while eating with Jessy's classmates in the cafeteria. Diana was there too. Later that afternoon, Evan is seen chatting with Jessy's swimming club friends at the library.

"Mel, how?" Fania again billed Melva's promise to ask Evan to walk with Fania.

"Lo don't see no more bussy?"

'Who is Melva?' inner Jessy

"Why don't you ask yourself?" ask Jessy

"The answer is always cliche. Curious aja. Not very good, is it?"

"Yes already. It's obvious, right? What else do you want to get?"

"Lo nyebelin, Mel! You've been getting more and more like Jessy knows!"

These few days Evan really looks busy and never greets Jessy like he used to. That morning, Jessy saw Evan standing in front of the notice board. When Jessy approached her, Evan seemed to dodge and instead left Jessy without saying anything.

In the afternoon Jessy walked back and forth rummaging through all the garbage because her shoes suddenly disappeared next door and no one wanted to confess. Evan meets and sees Jessy but the man acts cold and doesn't help Jessy as he usually does.

After finding her shoes, Jessy is again upset by her friends for being forced to pick up a pile of books on the third floor. Jessy was really tired that day.

In the afternoon when all her friends came home, Jessy even slept face down on her stool because she was out of energy. His body felt very tired and heavy to take home. So Jessy decided to stay asleep there until her condition improved.

"Melva! Mel! You're not papa, are you? You hear me?" Evan shook Melva's body.

He did not know that the girl was still sleeping there when the time had already shown at five in the afternoon. Because he did not respond and there was no one, Evan immediately carried Melva into his car and took her to the hospital. He was afraid something might happen to the girl.

"The patient is just exhausted. It's gonna be human soon. How long has the patient fainted?"

"I don't know, Doc. I was coming home from class and I saw him lying on the bench. So I brought it here."

"This father?"

"I'm the teacher, Doc."

"Do you know the patient's condition?"

"Yes doc. I know she's pregnant."

"The condition of her pregnancy is very worrying. The patient's weight continues to decrease and the baby's heart rate is very weak. The patient needs plenty of rest."

"Good, Doc. I'll give you a doctor's message."

(The day before)

"Van, are you crazy?! You forget why you were there? If the principal knows and the real reason you came there and blow-up this problem, not only your career, Men, but Jessy's Bokapnya will also be over. You will end up in prison as a fraud. And the company will immediately remove your funds from their data base, Van."

"Gue knows, Vid. But I can't tell Melva that. He helped me a lot to solve Jessy's problems and now he's in big trouble. What time will I have?"

David approaches Evan who is serious in front of his computer screen. "Van, you need to focus. You must be your priority! Reveal the case of Jessy and complete your assignment keep coming back to the office, or the girl and you'll lose everything. You can't get everything you want, Men."

Evan stood up from his seat and threw his body into the bed. "Because there has been a complaint from the student guardian about my closeness with Mel, for a while I have to keep the same distance from him. I don't want him to fail the accelerant because of me."

"Van, you realize what you just said. Your career and future at MicroChip are on the edge and you are still thinking about the fate of the girl."

"If fired from the MicroChip I can still open a cafe for you to hang out. But if he gets kicked out of school, his dreams will be shattered once again."

"What's so good about girls? So you want to help him?"

Evan looked doubtful, "Gue wasn't sure. But I feel like he's really the guy we're looking for and he's the only one who can help me complete all my missions."
