"So, Mami's not angry anymore, is she? Mi, I didn't mean to put Mami and Papi to shame."
"Hmm, Mami was disappointed. Here the guilty one is you, Jenan. Why not be honest with Sakura from the beginning if you already have a lover?"
Jenanda's speechless. His mother's words were right. Jenanda didn't think the problem would be this serious
For him, a relationship does not need to be published. Only the closest family knows. Jenanda doesn't like to indulge or announce to everyone that she already has Zeze.
It's not about not wanting to admit to a relationship, it's just that— Jenanda didn't think if Sakura would act that far about her feelings for Jenanda.
Saying something that makes no sense and can never be true.
Jenanda had noticed Sakura's attraction to her from the beginning but Jenanda swore, she was not at all tempted by the charm of the Japanese girl.
"Why silence, Je? Mommy's right, isn't she? You don't be naive about an aggressive girl like Sakura and making Zeze cry like that."
"If Papi finds out it's finally like this, then Papi took you to Japan yesterday, Jenan."
They're shocked.
"I mean, Pi?" ask Jenanda.
"Sorry, Papi secretly told Papi's men to watch over you while there. Papi's pity on Zeze. On the second day you were in Japan, Zeze couldn't concentrate on his work, let alone you not give Zeze any news at all." Jean explained.
Joanna stared in disbelief at what she had just heard, "Jeez, Jean! Why not tell me too? You are really."
"sorry. The more people involved the situation gets worse, honey. You definitely can't behave calmly later."
"You mean I get emotional easily, don't you?" ketus Joanna's.
"No. Anyway you are, emm ... How yes? I'm having a hard time explaining it to you."
By the way, Zeze was already in the guest room. Joanna deliberately told him to stay over because he was worried too after seeing his condition earlier.
Moreover, Zenda lived alone, while Bruce followed his parents to Surabaya and lived with their Grandmother there.
Yeah, you could say, Zeze's a nomad. And Jenanda's family is the only one Zeze knows in town.
"Finding Mami with Sakura. If necessary, then the same Father ... What's-her-name? Mister who, Jenan?" joanna asked, trying to remember the name of her son's business partner from Japan.
"Mrs. Akeno, Mom. Yes already? I'm tired, go to the room first."
"Yes already, you–"
Jean stopped when she heard the bell from the front door.
"I'm the only one who opens the door. You guys stay here" Jean said, interrupting immediately.
For a moment, Joanna stopped their argument after hearing the voice of a woman with the knocking of heels against each other with the marble floor.
"Sakura?"
They were all shocked, the most shocked among them was Jenanda.
Just been talked about. The man came straight away.
...•••• ...
The dining room was suddenly quiet.
This morning the formation of the members of the Jean family was complete.
There are 2 guests who sit facing each other without saying hello or just glancing.
"We haven't had a chance to talk all night, Miss Sakura."
Yes, because last night Sakura complained tired and dizzy, finally with a heavy heart, Jenanda asked her parents for permission to allow Sakura to stay one night in their house.
Although there will be new problems. Zeze could have misunderstood the presence of Sakura this morning suddenly at the same table with her Beloved family.
"Joanna, just talk later. Finish your breakfast first." Jean scolded.
"Hm, I'm just reminding. Is that wrong?"
Zenda and Rajendra don't talk much. Just following the flow. Fear if too meddling, Joanna can allude to the news of their relationship on Campus.
"Papi, Mami, we're leaving first huh?" pamit Zenda's.
Grateful he had morning classes and Rajendra also had to go to the Cafe.
"Remember your promise last night, Jendra." recalls Joanna.
"Mami .." whined Zenda, as her mother gave a cynical look at her Husband.
"Already, already. You guys just go. Jo, don't give up the kids just to repeat the talk that was discussed yesterday." it's Jean's turn to reprimand Joanna.
"Yes. You can go."
"Yes, Mi. Pi, me and Rajen's brother go first?"
Not to forget, Zenda also said goodbye to Zeze and Jenanda, "Sister, I go first, bye!"
"Be careful."
"Ready!"
Leave the sound of the clangs of spoons and forks clashing against each other.
"I'm done, Auntie, Om." said Zeze.
"me too. Oh yea! There's still half an hour left to pick up your father, Ra .."
Jenanda rubbed her lips slowly, "As long as we wait, we should talk about yesterday's problems."
"Mommy agrees. Let's go to your Papa's office, Jenan."
Joanna seemed to be less fond of Sakura who had been smiling without sin.
As if he had succeeded in becoming a destroyer of Jenanda and Zeze's relationship.
"And you must also come, Miss Sakura."
"Good, Bi."
Joanna stopped her steps for a moment. Turning around just to look at the girl behind him, "What did you call me?"
"Aunt Joanna?" sakura's two eyelids blinked slowly.
She was confused because Joanna seemed to dislike the call.
"Aunties. Call me Aunt, Sakura. Like Zeze called me earlier."
"Aunty and Aunt?"
If Joanna doesn't forget, Sakura is from Japan. Of course Sakura does not know correctly every call intended for parents in Indonesia.
"As far as you. Want Auntie to Auntie, whatever."
Jean simply refrains from laughing at the woman who seems so sensitive to Sakura.
...••••...
They sit in their own positions. In essence, Sakura sat on the long sofa alone.
Against Joanna and Zeze, while on each side of the right and left, there were Jean and Jenanda.
"Why are you talking like that to Zeze?" ask Joanna to the point.
He doesn't like to linger in situations like this. It will only remind the masses, when he and Rosa fought over Jean, first.
"Bi— Aunty means, what is it? I don't understand."
"Pain skirt! I remember all that you said, Pelakor." Zeze said.
Joanna who was sitting next to him immediately rubbed Zeze's arm so as not to be provoked by emotions.
"Is it true that you told Zeze you'd take me from him?" ask Jenan.
"Sister, I–"
"Why, Ra? Why are you being like this? You misinterpreted my attitude towards you during our time in Japan yesterday .."
"Everything I do is based on the Elliptical Art and your father's cooperation. That's just the extent of our relationship, Sakura." Jenanda continued.
He shook his head, feeling frustrated with the girl in front of him.
Jenanda's attention may be misinterpreted as a code if Jenanda is also interested in it.
And made Jenanda and Zeze's relationship problematic since yesterday.
"Now I ask, are you really saying that to Zeze? Seize me in such a lowly way, huh?"
"Answer, Sakura! Don't just shut up!" jenanda's tone of voice was slightly elevated and it made Sakura instantly teary-eyed, enduring the cries.
"Jenan, lower your voice. We talk about this with a cool head without any emotion." Jean scolded.
Then his attention turned to Sakura who lowered her face deeply, not wanting to look pitiful in front of them.
"We were once your age, too, Miss Sakura. Never also involved a love triangle that is much more complicated than this .."
"I'm sorry, maybe my words will hurt you but to be honest, Zeze and Jenan we've been dating since they were little–"
"Jean."
"Be quiet, Joanna. Don't cut my words."
Jean continued her words again.
"Me and Zeze's family have agreed to be a big family in the future so if you like Jenan, you better forget how you feel." jean said as gently as possible so as not to hurt Sakura too much.
Which hurts so much. Like being crushed by something invisible.
They've been betrothed? So then? I don't have a chance to get close to Jenan anymore.
