With a teary face, Rosa looked at Mr. Dery with a hearty expression. Hope the Stepfather is pity and willing to help him persuade Jean and Mr. David not to break the engagement.
"All decisions are in your hands, Jean. Om and your father don't want to interfere anymore. Isn't that right, Mr David?" said Mr. Dery casually.
Ignoring Rosa and her mother who had harbored feelings of disappointment because no one was on their side anymore.
Yesterday at the hospital, Mr. Dery and Mr. David agreed to submit any decision Jean would make. Considering that Rosa's behavior yesterday almost caused Joanna harm, Mr. Dery became upset with Rosa, especially Miss Anne also did not want to help Joanna yesterday.
Wanting this matter to be quickly resolved, Mr. David nodded his head in resignation. I agree with all decisions made by Jean.
Moreover, the problem they were facing was not just this.
Jean has to do a DNA test so everyone can be sure that Jean is indeed Jenan's father as well as a proof of his seriousness to Joanna and Jenan.
"Rosa, sorry! I want our engagement to be done sam–"
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO, JEAN! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! MOM, WHY SHUT UP? HELP ROSA TO PERSUADE JEAN, MAMA!"
"Ros, calm yourself. Let's just go to the room, honey."
Lady Anne's hand was brushed aside violently when she wanted to touch Rosa's shoulder.
The woman began to stand up from the sofa and then walked up to Joanna who immediately swiftly followed Rosa's movements with a look of caution.
This time Joanna won't lose like yesterday.
Joanna had put up a body so that Rosa could not hurt her physique anymore.
"You ..."
Rosa's breath hunts down, like a bull that wants to butcher the enemy, "You're the most disgusting woman I've ever met! Joanna! Admit to everyone that not only Jean fucked you but Ethan!"
THE PLAQUE!
Joanna gave a hard slap to Rosa's cheek until her face turned to the side.
"Before indulging in the disgrace of others, please reflect on yourself! The honor of a woman lies not only in the tear of the blood membrane but she must also have the shame not to talk about the ugliness of her fellow women in the presence of everyone, let alone for personal gain, Rosa!"
Joanna was eager to avenge the physical violence that Rosa had committed yesterday but Joanna denied that intention.
In addition to complaining, Rosa is a vengeful woman. Do not hesitate to reply to anyone secretly and end up igniting hostility that has no end.
The kinsman? Indeed indeed!
That's why Joanna hates Rosa so much, other than because of her two natures. Rosa and her mother are realistic women who love the hedon lifestyle while her father has to work hard for their survival and their six hundred employees.
"Why silence? Dare to bet if you also like and often open the width of both your thighs in front of many men— ah! Especially men who already have a partner, for example?!" satirical Joanna sarcasm.
While putting on the most annoying facial expression when Rosa was silent to hear Joanna's heart-piercing speech. A little justifying the last sentence the woman said.
"Joanna, Rosa, enough! Stop your debate. Dery, say something? Our two daughters are fighting! You shouldn't just shut up to see them fighting with their mouths like that!"
Mistress Anne was a bit panicked when Joanna started to bring it up. Don't let people know that either.
As if fed up, Mr. Dery looked at them one by one and stopped at Joanna's pair of brown eyes.
Her heart throbbed pain at the fact that not once did Joanna sleep with a man who was not her husband.
Disappointed?
Sure did!
Every parent would want to see his Son keep the sanctity until a relationship that is validated by religion and state.
Not following a western style that likes to do husband-wife relations freely.
But the rice has become porridge.
Joanna did that until Joanna was pregnant and Jenan was among them.
"Jean, your decision?"
Suddenly Mr. David interrupted. Do not want the atmosphere to heat up more and more to cause a commotion like before.
"My decision remains the same. Rosa! Let's end this engagement. Joanna and I love each other. Since we first met, I've been in love with her. Pardon me! I don't mean to play with your feelings but please don't be selfish! Jenan needs me as his father. So I hope you can accept my decision, sorry."
Rosa's tears raced against each other, drenching her thin cheeks with dark circles under her eyes that looked mocking.
"I don't want to break up, Arjean! No matter you just use me ... Don't ask to break up, please! I love you more than him!"
Jean did not refuse but did not return Rosa's embrace.
"I love you, Jean! If you marry Joanna just because of your responsibility to Jenan, that's okay! Justdoit! If we stay together or if necessary, make me your second wife! I don't care if I have to be a connecting mom for–"
"AFTER YOUR DRAMA, ROSALINDA RAFLESIA ARNOLDI!"
Rosa's thin body was beaten rough until her embrace was released.
Joanna's eyes reddened, holding back tears and all the emotions in her heart.
Joanna hated hearing the words Rosa had just spoken. About her desire to be a connecting mother to Jenan.
"Percy's widow is my Son! He's our baby not her baby, Arjean! Even to death I would not want to see Jenan close to this evil woman especially ... Until I told Jenan to call Mama! I'm not going to!" joanna shouted as she brushed away the tears that had escaped.
Joanna tried to hold him back because she did not want to look weak in front of the evil woman.
Joanna still remembers the incident when Rosa poisoned her son with formula to make Jenan diarrhea and vomiting until his body was weak due to loss of a lot of fluid.
Luckily Joanna did not take the case to the legal track on charges of attempted murder for not wanting to ruin her family's reputation for having a half-brother who committed a criminal act.
Then now casually, Rosa declares herself wanting to be a serial mother to Jenan?
In a dream only. Because even to death, Joanna would not let that happen.
...••••...
When Joanna arrived at the apartment, she immediately took off all her clothes.
Filling the water in a bath up and pouring the vanilla aromatherapy liquid then submerging his entire body for a long time.
"Enough, Rosa! My decision remains the same! I want our engagement to be over here."
"I'm sorry again because the only woman I've ever loved was Joanna."
A few minutes passed in silence but Joanna never came to the surface to make someone who had just entered the bathroom half screaming in panic.
"JOANNA! OH MY GOD!"
Feeling that her sleep was disturbed, Joanna opened her eyelids again.
Jean was right in front of her face and reflexively, Joanna pushed the handsome face away.
"I know you're a pervert but can't you knock on the door before you enter someone else's room?"
"Who else do you mean, hm?"
Again.
Jean was so shameless when she opened all her clothes in front of Joanna that she turned her face to the side.
Cussing inwardly for the behavior of Jean who now took a dip in the same bath up with him.
Sitting behind Joanna until something hard hits her lower area.
Joanna was not stupid if Jean was holding back from pouncing on her at this moment.
"If you want to drown, take me! So we could die together like Jack and Rose, okay?"
Hearing the name of the titanic female lead was called, Joanna directly hit Jean's thigh rather hard.
THE PLAQUE!
"Who do you mean Rose? Rosa's? Then Jack is you? Didn't he? You crocodile! Move aside! I'll rinse my body first!"
There is nothing funny about this simple topic but somehow, Jean laughed at the sulking tone of the woman who was so adorable in her opinion.
Joanna is not wrong because the pronunciation of Rose and Rosa sounds similar.
Maybe the woman was jealous and still angry with the incident in her house earlier.
Until this small thing alone makes Joanna become sensitive and cringe.
