Red Rose-Love In Three Countries

Nay!

"Dear, I'll stay by your side until the end of my life."

"real Oppa? a promise?'

"Do I look like a liar?"

"No, Oppa is a real man, so it's impossible to lie to me."

"Then don't cry anymore, my dear? I'm here, always with you."

"Yes Oppa, thank you for always being there for me."

"Yes dear. So, may I know, what did you dream about? so much fear like that, even crying."

"I'm afraid of losing Oppa, I don't want to part from Oppa.

"I cannot tell you the truth, if my dream had anything to do with Jonathan. Oppa would be sad if I told him everything. I'd better not tell you the truth, let it be my secret and God."

"Look, it's all just a dream."

"Oppa, does it not work? as I recall, Oppa said this morning...."

"Darling, you should see the clock first."

"Eh, clock?"

"You've been sleeping too much, baby, he. he. it's lunchtime, of course the meeting's over."

"God, did I sleep for a long time? after Oppa left for work this morning, I fell asleep, and it's lunchtime now?"

"Yes, it's time we had lunch together. Let's change first, then I'll take you out to lunch."

"really?" tanya Yijia was excited

"Yes. Yeah, you get ready, I'll wait for you outside."

"All right"

....

"Yijijah!"

The man called out, calling Yijia's name. Exactly, when he just came out of the toilet.

"Jhon!?" Yijia was very nervous, when she suddenly confronted Jonathan.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, come with me for a minute" Jhonathan asked

"I'm sorry Jhon, but Andrew is waiting for me up front. I don't want to worry Andrew, 'cause it's been in the toilet too long."

"Then give me a chance to talk to you next time, can you give me your phone number?"

"How's this? I'm lazy to meet Jonathan, but I don't want to give him my phone number either. Huh..bas sia* once I today, this morning dreamed of it, now just meet the person directly. Ah know it's gonna be like this, me and Oppa just eat at the hotel."

"Tomorrow, at 1pm, we meet at Kak Roy's coffee shop" said Yijia, immediately running away from Jhonathan. Not wanting to tell Jhonathan his mobile number, Yijia decided to make an appointment to meet him in person, otherwise Jhonathan would continue to bother him.

"Roy? I forgot to tell him that Jijia has returned." muttered Jonathan alone

"Jixu?"

"Hi Kriss, haven't seen each other in a long time. How are you doing now?"

"Well. long time no see, I'm good Jixu. What about you?"

"Me too, it's just that now there's a problem in my Grandpa's company, so I need to be more active in traveling out of the country."

"Well busy, I didn't expect that a Jixu, who was once famous for his extraordinary painting, would end up taking care of the company, not the canvas or the brush anymore."

"Ha. ha. everyone has different paths, some can at will determine the future, and some are forced to succumb to fate. Then you? are you still playing with coffee?"

"I'm not playing, Jixu. But, brewing that coffee also includes art."

"I know, just like painting, it takes patience and thoroughness, so that the work we pour in art can be enjoyed and accepted by everyone."

"Kriss, who is he?" Lisa, who felt constantly ignored by the two men, finally ventured to talk.

"Ah baby, I'm sorry. Introduce this Lin Yi-Jixu, my friend when I was in college. Jixu, this is my wife, Lisa."

"Hallo Mr. Jixu" said Lisa formally

"Ah sorry, I forgot. We got married in England, so only a few close families came."

"Because, you must not consider me your friend anymore, huh?"

"You're overreacting Jixu. Rather than that..What about yourself? is she married?"

"I'm not married, I'm still loyal to this solitude."

"Why? ah.. I was afraid, if my friend turned."

"You're making a cadaver? I'm still healthy, throw away your filthy thoughts."

"Ha. ha. I'm sorry."

"Huh, forget it. Oh yea... Mrs Kriss, how many months are you pregnant?" ask Jixu kindly

"Eh? you know I'm pregnant?"

"of course. With a big belly like that, everyone knows you're pregnant."

"lik! my gestational age is only a few months, it should not be too big, so people can easily find out that I am pregnant." Lisa said, not willing to admit Jixu's words.

"Ha. ha. it's a pity. But you don't get angry just yet, Jixu is just trying to tease you."

"I know, but it was on target" Lisa replied, blushing in embarrassment

"Are you really great Kriss, how many times in one night did you guys do it? ah.. sorry, congratulations..You will soon be a father, Kriss."

"Thank you Jixu. But married really-brnar fun, sleeping, bathing and eating there are those who serve and always accompany, truly heaven of the world."

"Huh.. Keep boasting, you show-off man."

"Haha. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, this is Rania and Steve, coworkers at work."

"Hallo, I'm Jixu" Jixu said as he reached out his hand, greeting Steve and Rania in turn.

"Romania"

"Steven"

"Let's talk somewhere else, have lunch together. We haven't eaten together in a long time, since our separation, this is the first time we've been together again. Please, don't reject me." Jixu pleaded

"All right, let's go." replied Kriss

Finally, with a little appeal from Jixu, Kriss, Lisa, Rania and Steve left, walking along Jixu who entered the famous luxury and quality restaurant area.

"Please sit down."

"Darling, what do you want to eat?' asked Kriss attentively.

"Jomblo is quite a spectator"

"Are you happy?"

"What?"

"So audience! try to open your heart to the girls, pity those who are waiting for you, bring back their love."

"It's enough Kriss, don't get too dramatic, not good for your future health."

"What does this have to do with children, Jixu?"

"Sorry to interrupt, but Mr. Lin...."

"What's wrong?"

"Sorry, it's either coincidence or something, but, I feel Mr. Lin might know Yijia."

"Yes? you know Yijia?"

"Yes, I was his friend, when he was still living in England."

"Well, thank goodness. Glad to know. She would definitely feel proud, since she had a friend like this kind-hearted Miss Rania. I'm Jixu, Yijia's cousin, warm regards from me."

"I'm also happy. But we feel very sad, for we have lost the news from Yijia."

"Yijia is now in England, on a business trip with her boss."

"What's!? Yijia back to England? isn't Yijia in Indonesia?"

"Not all true, a few months ago, Yijia had returned to Korea."
