Sincerity of Love JONATHAN

19. Fear of going on a calculator

"I want it, we all live in Abi and Umi's house. I'm not used to it yet, and I can, right?" syifa Pinta.

"It's okay." Joe said with a smile in front of the glass. "We can stay there, Yang."

"But your stuff is definitely a lot, Joe," said Umi Maryam. "If transferred all the kayaknya will not fit in Abi and Umi's small house."

"That's easy for Umi, no problem." Joe shakes. He seemed to understand, with the circumstances and with what was in Syifa's brain. Of course, the girl needs a process to accept, if she is already his wife.

"Horay!! Robert lives in Oma and Opa's house!" Robert called out loudly. He looked so happy that he moved his hand up and down.

"Then before the house came to the furniture store, Jon, buy a mattress and a bed" said Abi Hamdan.

"There's no bed in Syifa's room, Bi?" ask Joe.

"There was. It's just like if the two or three do not fit. It's small in size."

"Oh. Yeah, we're going there."

30 Minutes later, Joe's car stopped at a large mall in Jakarta.

Then, he turned off his car engine and opened his seatbelt.

"Lho, Jon, how do we stop at the mall? What's it gonna do?" abi Hamdan asked confusedly, looking at the son-in-law.

"And said Abi we stopped by the furniture store first. Yes already, come down," he asked and then went down first.

"But, Jon, it's a mall, not a furniture store. You're a ngaco, aren't you?" Abi Hamdan came down and went straight to Joe.

Umi Maryam and Robert came down, but not Syifa. The girl was busy staring around, looking at the people coming in and out of the big mall. Suddenly, there was a feeling of fear within him.

"There's also a furniture store here, Bi," Joe replied, embracing Abi Hamdan's shoulder, then turning his head back, at Umi Maryam and Robert. But he himself felt astonished—because Syifa was still in the car. "Syifa, dear ... Why don't you come down? Ayok," he asked.

Joe's hand slowly removed Abi Hamdan's shoulder, then opened the car door right where Syifa was sitting.

"I didn't go to the mall, sir." Syifa shook her head.

"Lho, why?"

"I'm scared. I'll just wait in the car."

"Fear why?" Joe's approaching. Then slowly rub the top of the red hijab worn by Syifa. The girl looked rather evasive and did not dare to look at her face. "Are you scared that Beni's here?" guess it.

"In addition to that .. I'm also afraid that people are bad." Syifa stared around, but the glare of her eyes was fixed on the few men walking there. "And tried to harass—"

"You must forget little by little the trauma, Fa. Remember Umi's message yesterday afternoon." Umi Maryam approached and immediately hugged her son's body, then patted his back gently. Umi Maryam whispered to Syifa's right ear. "Joe your husband. He's not a bad guy. He's just like Abi, who will protect you. All you're doing now is just continuing to be with her and holding her hand, Fa."

"If you're alone here, it worries us" said Abi Hamdan. "Udah, come with me. You were also from yesterday-yesterday in the hospital continuously, must be bosen, right?"

Abi Hamdan wants Syifa to start his activities as usual. In fact, usually, 25-year-old women always do their own things. Without asking for help or friends to accompany him.

"If the Shifa is afraid .. let me alone find a bed and a bed, Bi. You guys wait here" Joe advised.

"Mommy come along. Robert wanted to go to the mall with Mommy and the family" Robert asked, then clasped Syifa's left hand and kissed her back. "The ex-mommy who panicked is dead. So Mommy doesn't have to worry about it" he added later.

"Died? Really true?" Syifa looked surprised. His eyes are perfectly rounded.

"Yes. Let's see if we go together. You'll be safe" Abi Hamdan said.

"But how could Beni's brother die?" ask Syifa while caressing a hug. Somehow, hearing the news that the man had died instead made his heart very relieved.

"Because I'm mence—"

"Because it's possible to die" cut Abi Hamdan quickly who interrupted Joe's words.

Neither he nor Jonathan, in fact they do not know how Beni is now.

It's just that Joe remembers, when he was strangling and squeezing eggs and sticks—he man was no longer breathing.

If he did not die, he would be in prison. And Joe is sure—everything will be safe and fine now.

Syifa finally complied. He got out of the car and was joined by Robert and Joe. The girl is in the middle, so it's safe.

Abi Hamdan and Umi Maryam were behind. Treading three.

But suddenly, Umi Maryam who took Abi Hamdan's hand immediately stopped her steps. So that her husband stopped the move.

"Ih. Umi's not coming to the mall, Abi! Scared!" his great-granddaughter while staring at the magnificent building in the greeting there.

Syifa said she was afraid. Now Uminya. What else is there about?

"Why? Afraid of other men?" abi Hamdan asked, looking. "There's Abi, Umi."

Joe, Syifa and Robert stopped their steps, hearing Umi Maryam's voice. Then, they turned around and looked at the old woman.

"Umi just remembered, if Umi was the first time to the mall. So Umi was afraid to go up on her calculator" replied Umi Maryam.

"Where can we ride the calculator, Oma?" robert was confused.

...Umi jeez 🤣...
