Red Rose-Love In Three Countries

Grey Day

" * Eternal Gardens*" (*Cemetery) "

The entire extended family of Julius was present at the funeral of one of their family members, "Selena Julius" or often called "Sisi" on that day the sky was cloudy, the cool breeze was blowing, the cold. Not rain from the sky, but tears.

Yijia came to the audience with Jhonathan, who was immediately greeted by Airin and Roy who had come first, Yijia's face was still blue, bruised because only one day ago he was hit by Sisi.

Jonathan walked over to Lady Julius, whom he had taken as his own mother, to offer condolences, hugged her and blocked the tears on the middle-aged woman's face.

"Thank you, John, you're coming."

"Yes, Mommy."

Now Jhonathan moved to approach Lord Julius, he was silent for a moment, but as soon as he steadied his heart to offer condolences to Lord Julius, Mr. Julius was silent, not understanding Jhonathan's presence. Unlike Willona, who knew the coming of Jonathan, he immediately hugged him tightly and wept in the arms of Jonathan.

"Sir John, hiks..hiks...."

"Already Willona, I know it's hard for you, but you have to stay strong and patient."

"Am I being too cruel to my own sister? I can't even give her what she wants, I'm totally selfish to her."

"No, you're the best brother in the world."

But on the other hand, no one is aware of the existence of Yijia, who is only a spectator of the closeness of Willona and Jhonathan. Which woman's unharmed heart watched her future husband cuddle with his ex-girlfriend, even if it was just to calm her down.

"Yes, don't get me wrong, okay?" Roy advises Yijia, who looks not so happy to see Willona hugging Jhonathan in a common den.

"Is this Yijia, the future wife of Jhon, you're telling me about?" airin asked after realizing that Jonathan had come with him.

"Yes, introduce this Yijia, Yijia introduce this My wife, Airin." said Roy introduced Airin and Yijia alternately.

"Hallo." Yijia thrust her hand at Airin to shake hands.

"Yes, it's good to see you, I hope your wedding plans and Jhon can go smoothly and hopefully you can be happy." Airin smiled kindly at Yijia.

"Thank you."

"When will your marriage take place?"

"Next month, actually Grandpa Jhon asked us to marry 2 more weeks, along with Alexander, but because of considering some things our marriage was forced to be resigned."

"What's? Alexander's getting married? how come I never knew the boy was getting married." Airin was shocked, because as far as he knew Alexander had never had a special relationship with any woman.

"Darling, did Andrew know this?"

"No, I haven't heard from him in a long time, nor can I contact him anymore, it seems he just wants to refocus on his family."

"Well, I understand." looks of disappointment on Airin's face.

"Yijia, what do you think of Andrew?" Airin, who knows how Andrew feels about Yijia, from Roy. I wonder why Yijia prefers Jhonathan.

"Eh Andrew? emh he's nice, and jolly."

Yijia looks confused as to why Airin suddenly asks Andrew to her.

"Is that all?"

"Yes"

"Nothing special?"

"Airin's up, stop." Roy stops Airin from questioning Yijia intensely.

"Yes yes, take it."

But I think Jonathan will be back soon with Willona. And yijia when that happens, I'll tell Andrew as soon as possible. It is not fair that only Jonathan can be happy. Inner, airin.

.....

Until the funeral ended Jonathan continued with Lady Julius and Willona, he seemed to have forgotten that Jijia was also there. Knowing this Roy hurriedly pulls Jonathan's arm aside and whispers that he must leave now, before Yijia gets further misunderstood, thinking Jhonathan still has feelings for Willona.

"Go away." whispered Roy as slow as you can.

Johnathan understood the meaning of Roy's words just now, and when he wanted to walk away, Willona held the tip of his suit, Jhonathan stopped and turned his face back.

"Thank you, John, you care about me."

"Yes Willona, I care not only for you, but for your family, please don't misunderstand."

Willona removed the tip of Jhonathan that she was holding, and walked backwards. He knew very well his position now, and Jonathan already had Yijia, his future wife.

Jhonathan felt sorry, also sad to see the state of Willona, but the rice had become porridge, inevitably had to stay in the meal. Jonathan must now be totally committed to his marriage plan and Jijia will soon be carried out.

With alarmed feelings he walked over to Yijia, he was confused as to how to explain it to Jijia.

"Yes."

"The way is done, let's go home" Yijia said, holding Jhonathan's hand.

They walked away, completely unmoved to look back.

It is unexpected, Yijia did not ask anything, nor did she ask any explanation from Jonathan, but it made Jonathan feel even more guilty.

I don't want to hear anything Jhon, after this I won't let you be with that woman again

Jijia knew there was no point in asking Jonathan, it could be seen from his face, that he himself would not be able to explain anything.

"Wait."

Suddenly the sound of the family from behind Jhonathan, making Yijia and Jhonathan stop their steps and turn to look at the voice that stopped their steps, still clearly visible red eyes puffy, and the water from his eyes.

"Dad."

Johnathan was shocked, knowing that Willona's father was now in front of him, he looked at him with a look of pity, but Willona's father did not bully Jonathan, he walked over to Yijia.

"Miss please forgive my daughter."

"I'm in his name apologizing to you, if you want to punish me then just, please don't hate him, it's all my fault." His voice sounded vibrating, a voice that was so slow and full of regret interspersed with the rapidly dripping tear slide.

Yijia could not bear to see it, it reminded Yijia of her dead father. Without a second thought Yijia immediately hugged Lord Julius, like she was hugging her own Father.

"Master please don't blame yourself, hiks...."

"You do not worry, hiks..I have forgiven him, Sir please take care of yourself, this is not your fault or anyone, hiks... it's just that we're not lucky yet."

Yijia could not help but cry, her heart would really hurt if she saw a father having to apologize for his beloved daughter who was gone, no punishment more severe than the loss of his own baby, to a Father, who loves his daughter very much.

"Miss, thank you, hearing it directly from you, makes me feel relieved."

"God's destiny is funny, only yesterday he treated you badly, now it's you who comforts me."

"Sir..."

"Miss be happy, if one day Miss needs help, the doors of Julius' Great Family home are wide open for you, if there's anything come tell me, as much as I can help you."

"Yes, thank you sir, I appreciate your good intentions."

Willona's father smiled with relief, he was pleased to be able to talk to Yijia, he then drove Yijia and Jhonathan to Jhonathan's car.

After delivering the departure of Jonathan and Yijia, he returned to the family who were still waiting for him inside, entering the cemetery.

...

The journey that should have been close, felt so long, Yijia was silent in the car, while Jhonathan continued to drive his car, although it looked calm but Jhonathan was worried about how Yijia kept silent, but Jhonathan continued to keep quiet, unusual thing for him.

Even in the end they got back to the Resort, Yijia remained silent.

"Yes, are you mad at me?"

Jonathan, who could not stand it, kept Yijia silent, finally opened his voice.

Yijia was startled, and conscious of her daydream, she then stared at Jonathan. Jijiah walked over and hugged Jonathan very tightly.

"I miss my parents so much, are they happy there?"

From the funeral Yijia kept thinking of her two parents.

"Yes, live happily, so those who watch over you from above will also be happy."

"Do I deserve to be happy?"

"Everyone deserves to be happy, and I'm the one who will do it for you."

"Thank you, John, you're here with me."
