Five years later ...
After being patient through many hard problems in their lives, the little Jean family can now feel the fruit of that patience.
The main perpetrator of the Jenanda Soenser kidnapping case has been arrested and the court has ruled that the perpetrator will be sentenced to life in prison.
Such was the news that was spread in the media when Ethan's arrest took place.
The case involved the granddaughter of a prominent conglomerate family in the city.
Joanna still does not expect the crime that Ethan committed on her son.
Although Jenan had admitted that the kidnappers treated Jenan well, supported by a statement from Nurse Yo who confirmed Jenan's remarks but all that did not dampen the wishes of Joanna and Jean who still took the legal path to give a deterrent effect on the perpetrators, especially Ethan.
And six months ago, Nurse Yo decided to resign because she wanted to go home to take care of her elderly parents.
BUGH!
Joanna threw the newspaper on the table. The lips that were polished by the red lipstick were clucking in annoyance.
He deliberately kept the newspaper to be a reminder that a crime not only comes from unknown people but from someone who has been close to us.
Regretted?
There, just a little. Because Joanna does not like to dissolve in regret and make her hold endless grudges.
"Mommy!"
"Sweetheart!"
Joanna turned her head towards the source of the voice that sounded so loud that a warm embrace of Joanna got from the two great men standing behind her.
"Jenan's picture can be perfect value, Mi! The prize?"
The empty hand of Jenan stretched forward as if asking for a gift that had been promised by her mother if Jenan could score perfectly in those subjects.
"Eitz! Kiss Mami first, Baby."
"Gee! Mommy! Don't call Je that again. Je is big!"
The boy scowled in annoyance as his hands folded in front of his chest. Acting so funny without realizing it to make both parents anxious.
Jenan has recently refused to be called that.
Jean who was in the Kitchen Counter chuckled at the sulking tone of the little one.
"Why doesn't Je want to be called that, hm?"
"Because Je wants to be called Big Brother, just like Zeze did. Calling Bruce Brother, Papi."
"Zeez?"
"His sister Bruce. She's beautiful and funny, hihi."
Joanna frowned.
Staring puzzled at Jenan's change in expression when calling Zeze's name.
"Don't you want a baby sister?"
Jenan nodded excitedly. Many hear stories from his friends at school if having a sister is very fun and will not make him bored because they can play together at home.
I don't know what Jean was thinking until the corner of the man's lips grinned when Joanna just stared lazily at him.
For Joanna knew what her husband was thinking.
Basic pervert!
Jean rubbed the cheek of her son's kingpin, "So ... Do you want a brother or sister?"
"Jean!"
"Yes, Sweetheart?"
"Baby, you go into the room and get changed, okay? After that we had lunch together."
"Mommy! Je is not a baby! Don't call Je that." Jenan protested again.
Not wanting to cause a commotion, Joanna obeyed her son.
"Yes already. Brother change clothes first huh? Papi and Mami wait at the table ma— heh! Don't run! Oh, my God, that kid!"
Just for information, Jean and Joanna planned to do a pregnancy program but it was not so because Joanna was still not ready, dividing her attention on other than Jenan.
Not selfish and exaggerated but according to Joanna, the ideal distance between the age of the first and second child is four years.
So if the topic of their conversation has led to the matter of new sister— Joanna can not refuse.
"Sister wants to have a baby sister. That's funny! The cheeks can be in the toel-toel like this, Pi." he said as he looked at his own kingpin's cheeks, anxious.
"Yeah! Thank you, Papi."
Joanna swore inwardly while Jean smiled triumphantly at Joanna's seemingly resigned face.
"Together, my dear."
...••••...
"The right broom! It! Over there! There's still dust."
"I can't sleep if my room is dirty."
"God! Why hasn't the plate been washed? What am I eating then?"
"The food supply in the refrigerator runs out, try to the front stall! Who knows the owner is still kind enough to let us owe you rice and noodles because I'm afraid of the whispers of eating eggs every day!"
"Ma!"
"Mama!"
"Ma, come here! Good Lord! Is this a house or a zoo? Why are so many disgusting animals roaming around here, eww!"
Shouting for the sake of shouting has become the daily food of the Mother and Child couple.
How not?
Since her name was dragged along in the kidnapping case that befell Ethan at that time, the lives of Rosa and Lady Anne changed one hundred and ninety-nine degrees.
From being the wife of a wealthy businessman who owned the Jopy Corporation to being divorced, to changing professions to become a call washerman, whose daily job is to pick up piles of red bags filled with dirty clothes belonging to others.
Which his whole life has never done.
Even once upon a time— Mistress Anne accidentally found a pair of underware belonging to one of the customers and it really made her cry all night.
They used to live well enough to not be able to be in a difficult situation like now.
Moreover, Rosa does not want to help him do homework. Don't help, don't look.
Rosa can only rule, eat and fall.
Be Bossy without thinking about how tired Lady Anne has been living life for the past five years together with her.
Rosa also did not try to find a job and reasoned the company where she applied to provide an inappropriate salary. Rosa is a Bachelor of Business.
But everyone knows too, Rosa is only relying on her beautiful face while her brain, sorry— is a big zero!
"Why is there no food at the table? I'm hungry!"
BYUR!
"WHY DID MAMA WATER ME? LOOKIE! I JUST SHAMPOOED IN THE MORNING, MAMA!"
BYUR!
Water from dirty laundry wetted Rosa's body until the unpleasant smell began to smell. Making Rosa have to hold her breath and itch on her skin.
"Mama's sure you're not blind, Ros! Find a job there! For you to know, it is difficult to find money in the midst of a difficult economic downturn like now! Don't just tell Mama to do this and that without helping!" snapped Madame Anne.
Then after being content to nag, Mistress Anne again continued her pending work because Rosa always acted while she was busy finishing laundry owned by neighbors who had to be delivered quickly.
Rosa's eyes are already glazed and then choose to go to the kitchen to find something that can fill her stomach that has not stopped sounding.
Fry the remaining eggs one with a worn pan as well as heat up the used oil four days ago.
"I've never held a cookware in my life! Even when the sick Papa Louis was alive ... I never cook either!" his weakness.
His hands also looked stiff as he wanted to flip the egg, "Don't pop, damn it! Just watch out! After this I'll eat you." he said to the egg he accidentally fried half-cooked.
Then take the three large centongs of rice and pour the remaining spicy sauce slightly over the eggs.
Again.
It re-ignited Rosa's emotions because she suddenly felt something moving under her feet, piercing the skin.
"Eh? What is this— ARGH! MAMA HELP! THERE'S COCKROACHES! HELP ME!" he shouted as the cockroach crept into the calf area.
It is not the first time Rosa has shouted the name of the animal since she lived there.
Almost every day, in their kitchen there are red animals with unpleasant odors according to everyone
Makes Mistress Anne reflexively slam the bathroom door and lock it from the inside.
Pretending not to listen because it was too careless to see the behavior of Rosa who was getting more bar-bar only since they lived hard after being divorced by Mr. Dery and not given the treasure gono-gini.
