Paper Dove

FINALE

The day of moving house arrived. Noa is very busy dealing with this and that. He was really enthusiastic about having his own home, I was happy to see him.

The work that awaits me and Doni comes. We made a mini garden at the back of the house with our own hands. We planted flowers and bulldozed the soil on Jeni's orders.

Jeni was like a foreman in charge of watching. Bella continues to scold Doni. I had to nag him. Grandpa sat back and watched us work.

After everything was done, Doni and I sat on the grass of the garden. I flicked my body with the hat I was wearing. I am proud to be involved in this beautiful looking garden.

" It seems that if I retire from business, I will work as a farmer only" I said to Doni.

" You sure sir? If you work in the agricultural world you can't be afraid of worms" explains Doni seriously.

I'm actually not afraid of that squirming worm, I just feel amused. "ha I'm not afraid of just being amused", I refute.

Doni laughed softly. Bella approached us and handed Doni a bottle of water instead of me.

"It's sister. Thirsty huh? Poor thing, I'm so tired of it", Bella cleaned the dirt off Doni's face.

Doni coughed at Bella's behavior. It seems like my presence is invisible to Bella. I looked at them suspiciously.

"Bella stopped bothering Doni", I scolded Bella.

Bella swerved a sewot at me. " Apaan sak. I'm not bothering you. Yes brother Doni", said Bella turned sweet when calling the name Doni.

Doni fell silent, afraid of my reaction.

Jeni came up to me and gave me a bottle of water. " Thank you on your day off you both helped me" Jeni said happily.

I smiled at him with a lot of love. " Anything I'll do for you" I said bucin.

" Doohh.. Very bucin", cried Bella sewot.

" What the hell are you", I answered the jutek.

" Let's clean up. Grandpa's waiting" Jeni asked.

I walked quickly towards the entrance of Jeni's flower shop. From the information I got, my mother came to visit her at the flower shop again today.

I opened the door and went straight into Jeni's office. My mom was surprised to see me, and so was Jeni.

" Dear, what are you doing here?", asked Jeni to me who was standing glued to the door.

" Mom, what are you doing here?", instead of answering Jeni's question I asked my mother.

" Eh. mmm. mom wanted to talk to Jeni", my mom said awkwardly.

"Mom wants to bully Jeni again?", I suspect.

" No Juan. Mom didn't mean to be evil" replied my mother in fear.

Jeni came up to me and grabbed my arm. " Juan Mom and I were just chatting up women's affairs. Don't be like that to mom" Jeni said.

I tilted my head in wonder. "You guys are chatting? ", i can't believe it.

Jeni pulled me out of the room and spoke seriously to me.

" Juan me and mom are familiar now, so you don't have to be suspicious of anything. Okay", Obviously Jeni.

" Convinced? Since when? ", I'm not sure.

" There is. You are so kepo. Anyway you don't bother", Jeni then went back inside the room.

Mom looked at me awkwardly. " Juan Mom only has plans with Jeni. Can't it?", asked my mother.

" What's mom's plan?", I sat on the couch trying to calm down. I'm still worried considering what happened to Flits first, I'm afraid mom hates Jeni.

" Mom wants to apologize to Flits and his wife. So we'll pay a visit to their house, Flits has agreed and his wife doesn't mind mom coming. Mom's going to go shopping for mom's granddaughter", my mom talks shy.

I smiled, something came off my chest. The tightness that had been squeezing seemed to disappear out of nowhere.

" Okay mom, if I'm going to hang out with mom" I stood up and hugged my mom.

" I'm sorry Juan, you've been selfish all along. It's all because of our family name demands. Forgive mom, it turns out that after all this mom realized that the child is more important than anything", my mom hugged me tightly.

" Thank you mom. I'm sorry I was rude to you", I kissed her hand.

In the corner of the room Jeni shed her tears of joy. I looked at her, this girl is a miracle that can change someone's heart. I'm happy to have it.

I clasped Jeni's hand as I walked into the house. He seems to be more cheerful than me.

" You seem so happy today", I guess.

"Yes dong. I am happy that my mom finally accepted me. I'm so happy" he said plainly.

I stroked his head with love. " I want to take you for a walk, baby" I said.

" Where to? It's been a night, baby", Jeni was curious.

I laughed, then kissed her lips for a long time. After that I said "we'll go to St. Moritz "'s ".

Jeni looked at me in disbelief. " We're going to Switzerland?", he asked again.

" Yes, we're going to Switzerland", I repeat the question into a statement.

Jeni screamed happily and hugged me strong. He seemed very happy with the news I gave him.

" Do you like it?", I asked while stroking his head.

" Yes I really like. Thank you dear", Jeni kissed my cheeks happily.

I returned his embrace tightly. But what we have planned sometimes does not match the reality.

The next few days I had to cancel my plans because of news I never expected. Jeni is pregnant with our first child. I was so happy I couldn't say anything.

Jeni's pregnancy is now 2 weeks. We were so happy that I forgot that bad things could happen.

After the happy news came, bad news followed.

Jeni had an accident that caused us to give up our first child.

The loss of the first child made a deep sadness in my heart, especially Jeni. He daydreamed all day, always finding her always crying silently. Jeni became quiet and did not say much.

My mom who was worried about Jeni asked me to talk and took her on vacation. I obey my mother's words. One afternoon I hugged her in the garden of our house.

" Dear" I spoke to him.

" Yes, what's wrong?", Jeni looked at me with a stern look like always.

" I want you not to be sad anymore. I want you to be as cheerful as you used to be. I'm sure everything will be good in time" I said slowly and carefully. I'm sad but Jeni must have been hurt more than me.

Jeni looked at me and started crying "Juan forgive me for not being able to look after our child", Jeni said.

I hugged him strong. " It's okay, baby. It's not your fault, everything that happened is already in God's planning. Don't cry, He'll definitely give us more", I kissed his head. " I love you" I said again.

Jeni hugged me strong and cried with great sadness. In the end we decided to go to Switzerland together. Enjoyed the holiday together and after this incident we realized that we were strengthening each other with our love.
