Jane moved while tidying up her clothes that were slightly torn due to Joe's actions. On the other hand, Joe feels very guilty and hit by his actions against Jane for being too brave to touch him.
"Joe, maybe it's better that I look for a contract myself" Jane said with a face full of disappointment towards Joe.
Joe shook his head, trying to ask Jane to stay, and hoping that Jane would accept his apology.
"Jane, please, you can't stay alone in Jakarta. It's very risky, especially for a beautiful woman like you," Joe expresses great concern for her, even though he just got to know Jane.
Jane looked up, stared at Joe's face cynically and whispered in her heart, "it's you who's dangerous, Joe!"
"Jane." Joe puts both palms on Jane's shoulders while staring into her eyes intensely, the longer Joe gets caught up in the charm Jane has.
"I'm actually not willing to let you in the other man's pursuit, Jane," Joe's inner voice while tucking Jane's hair behind his ear.
"It's Joe, I'm cape!" Jane stepped up, then opened the door of the room.
Suddenly a young boy shouted, "Ongkel...!" Jane looked down to observe the boy's movements.
Joe immediately gave a warm hug while lifting his body. “Eh, the champ is ogkel, who are you coming here with?” joe asked as he dyed the spoiled 4-year-old's cheeks in dismay. “I came with Mama,” she replied in a slurred voice.
"Oh, where's he going?" joe asked, taking her to another room. "Mama's gone again, she said she had some business outside, so I was brought here" replied the boy named Brian. Hearing Brian's answer makes Joe angry, because his sister often leave the child to Joe without permission, no matter if Joe is in need of his duties, because with Brian makes his work become hampered.
"This habit of Rosa!" he was angry with Rosa, his sister. Because Rosa is a single parent after divorce with an irresponsible husband.
Jane is interested in playing with Brian. Brian watched Jane from a distance and asked Joe, "Oncle, who is that?" brian asked with his innocent expression while observing Jane.
"Oh, hehe, he... Oncle's friend," Joe replied, worried that Brian would tell his parents about Jane.
Joe calls Brian, and the handsome boy approaches. "What?" ask Brian.
"Brian, can you keep a promise?" Joe smiled at him, and Brian nodded enthusiastically.
"What promise do you have?" ask Brian seriously.
"Brian, don't tell Oma and Opa that the oncle brought a girl friend here, yeah. You need to be able to keep a secret" Joe said firmly, and Brian nodded in innocence.
Joe hooks his little finger with Brian, and the boy quickly follows the gesture. "Smart kid," Joe said as he gently rubbed Brian's hair.
Jane smiles at the familiarity between Joe and his uncle, Brian. "Sister." call Brian as he waves his hand at Jane.
"Jane, come here!" Joe calls Jane to join them.
Jane stepped up and sat down by Joe's side while pulling his mini dress to cover his slightly open thigh. "Hi handsome boy, what's your name?" jane asked as she stretched out her arm, and Brian smiled as he greeted Jane's helping hand.
"My name is Brian Imanuel," he answered, chanting, Brian's slurred voice sounded adorable, and Jane smiled at him. "Well, nice name, Brian," Jane said.
"So pretty sister's name, who?" ask Brian, showing his sensitivity to Jane's beauty.
"Hehe, my name is Jennifer Jane, just call Brother Jane," Jane replied with a smile, and Brian responded with a flirtatious wink.
"Eh, Brian, don't look at a pretty girl!" joe protested, not wanting Brian to tease her.
Jane laughs, excited by Brian's hilarious and unexpected behavior.
"Big sister." exclaimed Brian innocently, and Jane responded with a smile.
"What's a handsome brother?" jane asked kindly, making Brian smile sweetly.
"Brian...!" joe exclaimed, as if not believing that the words just came out of the mouth of a boy the age of Brian.
"That you, little ones are flirtatious!" Joe tried to scold Brian, but the boy laughed amusedly.
Brian clasped Jane's hand, then stroked her while blinking one eye. “Beautiful sister,” call Brian, Joe immediately let out his heavy breath. "Bryan!!!" joe shouted, Brian was getting closer and closer to Jane.
"You are a little boy!" prevent Joe from the action of Brian who is too brave. “What's the reason?” brian asked making a soft expression while sticking out his tongue.
"There go to the back garden!" he said, and Brian lowered his shoulders quickly. "No, I want to stay here with my beautiful sister." Brian clasped Jane's arm tightly and stroked her.
"Jeez, what a kid's behavior now!" Joe shook his head in an inexhaustible manner towards Brian's behavior.
Jane rubbed Brian's head gently. "Brian, how about we study together, you agree?" take Jane with a gentle smile. At first, Brian shook his head, but Jane continued to persuade him and take him to study.
"Yes, I want to learn that I was taught to be a beautiful sister," said Brian with a sweet smile, back to struggling with Jane.
Joe brought some books to Brian, and he was happy to see Jane's closeness to his parents.
"Cubu, Didi, BUDI. Nana, Nini, NANI," Jane helps Brian with the pronunciation of the words, and Brian follows her enthusiastically.
Joe smiles at her, pleased with the way Jane helped Brian learn, and he is fascinated by Jane's seductive beauty.
All of this made the atmosphere even more warm and familiar among the three of them.

Meanwhile in a different place..
Zico was crouching in front of the blaze, his grip filled with prewedding photos showing himself with Tiara.
With deep anger and disappointment, Zico tore through the photo sheet after sheet.
With a sharp movement, he threw the pieces of the photo into the flames, which immediately devoured their portraits until all that was left was ashes. Zico's face reflected a deep sense of hatred towards Tiara.
The marriage they had planned and dreamed about was now extinct, leaving behind a deep feeling of bitterness and pain. Zico felt all his hopes were lost just like that.
Zico stood up from his position, inhaling a deep breath while looking up at the starless night sky, as if reflecting his dark mood. In the silence of the night, he let out a heavy breath, feeling disappointed, angry, and hurt.
All the plans that have been made and the future that they dream of now only remain memories that have been shattered into pieces.
Although Zico begins to feel an interest in Zea, his love for Tiara still lingers in his heart.
After years of romance, it's not easy to quell those feelings, even when there are others who are much better.
Zico felt the need to move on and move on with his life. He knew that dissolving in memories and heartbreak would hurt him more deeply. It takes a strong determination to go through the sometimes difficult "move on" process.
He wanted to erase the sweet memories he had shared with Tiara in order to pave the way for something new and better in the future. Although not easy. However, his determination to rise again and seek new happiness is getting stronger every day.
Zico decides to contact Zea and share his troubled feelings. Zea gladly receives a call from Zico, looking sparkling in both of his beautiful eyes, as if his feelings for Zico have grown since their first meeting in Ciwidey.
They chatted warmly, and Zico felt that the conversation with Zea could distract him from Tiara's memories.
The laughing and cheerful Zea manages to make the shadow of Tiara fade in Zico's memory. Zea brings a new coolness to his life, and this encounter makes him even more convinced that there is a possibility to open a new chapter in Zico's life.
Seriate...
