"Something about us baby.it's just the two of us. it's an intimate thing.."
"Huh?"
Yana's face immediately flushed. His heart was about to explode. Hot blood flowed quickly in his body.
"What do you mean?" Yana took a step back to reach Max's face.
"Something is important. Come in. I'll be with Jemima soon.."
Yana glanced towards the people in the middle room. They were all compactly smiling seeing Yana paying attention to them.
"Does that matter?"
"No. Just a small matter.." Max smiled.
Can he be this flattered? Yana's attitude had softened, her speech was gentle and her gaze was no longer cynical. Max is so happy, Yana is back to how she used to be. Jemima's influence was remarkable for their relationship.
"Do I need to do something warm?" Yana hesitates.
This house is filled with many men. At least she as an adult woman should show a little manners. The host seems insensitive. Yana sees that their desk contains only files and two laptops that light up. No drinks or snacks.
"In a moment we'll be done. You don't have to bother. Come in.."
"Ok. I have something I want to tell you, too.."
Max jeswan Yana with his best smile.
Yana glanced at Jemima who was a henchman on her father's arm. Yana's heart tingling. He sees the romance of father and son firsthand. Jemima did not want to be separated from his father.
Yana Gontai steps back into the room. He went to the bathroom to clean himself up.
-----
It feels fresh after the shower. Yana spent a long time in the bathroom. Last Yana to Max's house she didn't have time to look at Max's household. Max's bathroom is very simple but the interior is very interesting. In addition to the bathroom, there is a walk in closet and a dressing room.
Yana wanders every corner of the room. Everything is Max's stuff. Yana recognized. He spent more than a year with Max. More or less he knows what Max likes.
One by one Yana held onto the items, starting from perfume, soap, and many more. Yana's heart was tingled. It was like going back two years. Suddenly he remembered Max's apartment he had once housed.
Yana sits on the edge of the bath with a limp body in memory of her past. Many times he breathed deeply.
Gosh darn. Why is my chest so tight..
-----
"Oh my God!" Yana jumped. The wet towel was thrown to the floor.
Yana is surprised to see Max who is already sitting on one of the sofas with Jemima on top of Max's chest sleeping.
"Sttts.. Jemima just went to bed.."
Yana's eyebrows are linked. Jemima was always calm in Max's hands. The boy really fucked her up.
"You surprised me. Why not make a sound? When did you get in?"
"just now. Jemima just went to bed so I don't want to wake her up. Is it okay for him to sleep like this?" Max pointed at the slick Jemima above his chest. Her puffed cheeks pressed on Max's chest. Jemima's hand was wriggling in Max's stomach.
"Awhile.."
Yana grabbed the towel on the floor then wiped her wet hair for a bit. He has changed into a relaxed shirt. Plain white t-shirt with floral pattern skirt below knee. He was unaware that Max was secretly observing his movements.
Yana's hand swiftly dried her hair. Her wet hair glittered under the light of the night light. Max once again stares at the beauty of Yana. Her body remained the same despite having given birth to Jemima. Max is sad not to be with Yana when she is pregnant with Jemima. Max is determined to make up for it by any means.
"Jemy hasn't had a shower yet. But it's okay, little children do not have a regular bathing schedule. Did Jemy whine before going to bed?"
"No.."
"Usually he would ask for milk before going to bed. But thank God.. I'm going to change her diaper and dress. You want to tell me something right? Wait a minute.I'll be done soon.."
"It's okay.I can wait for anything for you.." Max smiled cheerfully.
Deg
Again that smile. Yana's heart was beating recklessly.
"Can you put Jemy in bed?" Pinta Yana's.
"OKAY.."
Yana immediately opened her suitcase and took Jemima's nightgown and diaper.
Jemima's small body wriggled slowly as it was disturbed by Yana's touch. He slowly took off Jemima's shirt and replaced it with a very comfortable nightgown.
Max approaches Yana.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Please loosen this diaper and put it inside Jemy's leg. One by one, slow down.." Yana gives Max the diaper of the pants.
Kinda awkward. Max slowly followed Yana's instructions.
"Ah done.." Mumbled wailing.
The little body was slowly writhing. Max pats Jemima's butt that's gagging upwards. How cute is Jemima's sleeping position. He sleeps on his side with his butt raised up.
"Sleep like you are Max.." Yana said from behind. He had just returned from tidying up Jemima's clothes and washing her hands.
"really?"
"That's it if I don't remember wrong.."
Max cheered in his heart. Yana still remembers the memories of them. It is like a green light that hints forward steadily to get Yana's heart.
"Mmm. It's about Jemima.." Yana shut up for a second.
"We sit on the sofa. It's not comfortable talking standing here and near Jemima. I'm afraid he's waking up because he heard our voices.." Max said as he pulled Yana's hand to hold her.
Inside his room was a small receiving room, consisting of one long sofa and one table. Max deliberately arranged his room similar to the apartment Yama used to be. Unfortunately, Yana didn't realize it.
"Speak.." Declare Max.
"I want to ask for your help.." Yana hesitates. He saw Max's face change.
"What's that?"
"If I was as desperate to return to Indonesia as I am today I was afraid Jemima would be hysterical again. But I have to get back. I've been here too long. I only took 4 days off. But it's been 9 days till today, so.."
"So?"
"Will you take me and Jemima home? Once we get to Indonesia you can go straight back to Korea.. Jemima would cry if he didn't see you. Will you help me?" Yana Obviously.
"If I'm not ready?"
"I had no choice but to wait for Jemy to sleep and then get on the plane. But even then I have to adjust the flight schedule. It could be in the middle of the journey that Jemy wakes up. I'm thinking about consulting with dr. Joan Alexander whether Jemy could be given something to calm down or like. medicine.."
Max's eyes almost lost hearing Yana's idea. That's a very bad idea. He won't approve.
"Well..What do you mean? Jemima is only one year old. Get rid of those bad thoughts. If you do, I will never forgive you or Joan.."
"I don't have a choice Max. There's no way I'm here to stay. I've seen your closeness, you and Jemy. It's gonna be hard to bring Jemy home without you.." Yana's voice was desperate.
"Stop. I said don't say a single broken Yana.." Max raised his voice a little.
He's going crazy. No. gabe. He's gone mad. Crazy made by Yana. Max thought he could hold Yana in his hand, but he didn't. The woman still stubbornly wanted to escape from him.
"I'm sorry, Max, so help me this once. I'd be very grateful. After this we will never see each other again. So I beg you one last time.."
"Stop!" Max's choked scream in the throat escaped as well.
Yana jerks. He glimpsed in the eyes of the Eye. Those eyes were filled with anger. Yana's body instantly shrunk.
"So much do you hate me, Yana, that you will be disgusted with me for a moment? Do you have to go this far to avoid me?" Max's voice is weakening.
"I never hated you Max. I've forgiven you. Meeting you, I never regretted it. I just have to go. You promised me, right?"
"Then why do you keep pushing me away? I told you that my love for you has never changed.."
"Why did you leave me when you loved me?!" Yana's voice was shaking. Patience is gone. She always wanted to ask why Max left her two years ago. Now he's undaunted. The fear has gone somewhere.
"I want to protect you Yana. I don't want you to get hurt.."
"By acknowledging your relationship with that person and leaving me?" Yana's courage increased sharply. Eyes blazing with anger.
"It's not me, Yana, but you're the one who's gone from me.."
"Cih..you are indeed selfish Max..who am I? I'm just your mistress, right? What do you want me to do? You confidently acknowledged your relationship with that person in public and you ignored me. You think I have no self-respect? You made me that way. You'll never know the pain of not being chosen Max.. I love you, but you betrayed me.." Yana's cheeks were soaked by tears that were slipping from the corner of her eyes. Tears can't be shed anymore.
"Well, I'm sorry, I had no other choice at the time. I know I was wrong and I'm so sorry. So forgive me. I have nothing to do with him. We only made a deal at that time. I just don't want you to get hurt anymore.." Max frantically saw Yana's shady eyes filled with tears.
"That's it. I think I should immediately bring Jemy back to Indonesia with my own efforts. I don't want to deal with you anymore.."
Yana finds out that Max's relationship scandal is just a charade. But he's disappointed. He heard it not from Max himself. Yana just wants Max to open up to her. Maybe if Max said it first Yana wouldn't be that disappointed. Yana's heart is like a vase of flowers that have been destroyed, it will not be possible to return it as before.
He got up from the couch and walked away from Max.
"Where! Don't stupid. You could endanger Jemima!" Max's voice echoed. His voice was mixed with anger.
Why is it like this? Their situation is not what Max wants. He immediately pulled Yana's hand closer to him.
"Take me off!" Yana struggling. His body was in Max's arms in an instant.
"No!"
"Let go!"
"Will no more! Until I never let go again!"
The crying Yana that was about to subside broke apart again. This time it was tight. She was crying inside Max. Why is his heart so stubborn. He realizes he still loves Max. But the disappointment and fear of what happened two years ago reverberated in his heart and mind. His heart is so stupid.
"I told you not to act stupid Yana. Believe me. think clearly I beg. for Jemima's sake.."
Hearing Max's soft speech made his fizzy even tighter. Her tears came out like floodwaters and had soaked Max's clothes in an instant. He needs to wash away all that frustration.
"Huwa. mama..huwa.."
Jemima woke up to the sound of screaming followed by the sound of her mother crying. The little girl's body wriggled around looking for her mother who was usually next to her, but there was nothing. The crying was the end of his search. His eyes were half closed but the tears kept melting.
"You wake up Jemima Yana.. Jemima needs you.."
Max tries to calm Yana down with a soft pat on her shoulder. Two people he loved cried at the same time. Max breathed a rough sigh. He had voluntarily plunged himself into a great mess.
"Mama.mama.mama...huwa.." Jemima's body continues to restlessly search for his mother. She was crying with her eyes closed.
Dilemmas. Max is sandwiched between two tough choices. Yana and Jemima cried together. His head was hit by a 10-tonne object. He took off his embrace and then walked towards Jemima. Max's hand certainly can not be separated from his grasp on Yana. Both should be calm.
"Darling.dad's here.mama's here, too.." Max pats Jemima's ass slowly.
His efforts were in vain, Jemima did not want to stop crying and Yana was still crying. Max raised Jemima's body and placed it on his chest. One hand hugged Jemima and the other still held Yana's hand.
He carried both of his heart to the middle room of his room. He sat with Jemima in his arms and Yana next to him. One of her hands was holding onto Yana's shoulder. She pulled Yana's head to lean on her shoulder. He kept trying to calm the two down in turn. In Max's heart he screamed.
Tonight is long.
Seriate...
