Juna drove me home but not to my house but to Gibran's. My arrival with Juna succeeded in making mama Gibran who was waiting for me in front of the gate of his house surprised.
"Where's Gibran?" ask mama Gibran who still looks confused after I give up all the goods ordered.
"Say there's a business of mah.." answered me who is still trying to protect Gibran when I could have told him if Gibran would rather go on a date with Ruby than accompany me shopping.
"I say goodbye to come home, mah.." said I who immediately saluted and invited Juna to go with me.
"You don't want to stay here, cook with your mom, after all it's late afternoon, go home." prevent mama Gibran, stop mama Gibran, he left the groceries I bought in front of the gate of his house and stepped up to me who was just about to ride a Juna motorbike.
"No, I don't think I can go to dinner tonight." I still try to smile even though my heart is screaming.
Mama Gibran looks disappointed and sad but I probably won't be able to face Gibran tonight.
Finally I went along with Juna, my departure coincided with Gibran's arrival but I didn't want to look back at him, I was afraid to find Ruby in his car and it would only make me more hurt.

I arrived at my house not long after, got off the top of Juna's bike and tried to open his helmet. Still wearing a helmet on her head, Juna helped me unlock my helmet hook.
"You're taking two helmets now?" I said to reduce my nervousness because of Juna's action.
"Yes, I always look forward to the day when we meet again so I always carry two helmets after that day so even if you ask me to take you away, I won't be afraid of being ticketed." juna replied after successfully removing the helmet on my head. "It's for you." said again while giving me a white helmet while he was wearing a black helmet.
"Make me?"
"We're officially friends, right?"
Oh, I almost forgot the promise but Juna took it like a special promise. He is a good man, I can see from his sincere smile, "Yes." I smiled faintly.
"So can you ask for your phone number?"
Juna was very persistent, I then gave my phone to him so that he could enter his number there but he glanced at me for a moment because he saw the lock screen as well as the wallpaper of my phone was a photo of me with Gibran.
"You're this close as it turns out.." the comment looks disappointed.
"We knew him from childhood" I replied smiling, if I remember my whole life spent alone with Gibran it felt like there was warmth coming in, infiltrating my cold heart.
"But you guys didn't say hello in the mall."
Slightly surprised because Juna realized that we had crossed paths with Gibran on the escalator.
"There are times when we are fed up, but we will always end up together." replied me who was still trying to smile despite the pain.
"So there's no chance for me?"
"Yes?"
"Being your neighbor." Juna replied after entering her phone number on my phone and returning it to me.
"I'll call you if there's a home to sell around here..."
"I'll wait so don't forget to call me."
Hugging the helmet given by Juna, I stepped into my yard, honestly I was a little surprised by the condition of my house door that was open because it was usually always tightly closed.
I had not stepped into my house when I saw my grandmother being with my father. They were seen chatting seriously so I chose to stand in front of one closed door and listen silently.
"Don't Be Crazy!" My grandmother's voice sounded high, I didn't know if my grandmother could get angry until like that, her reaction made me worry about her health because she had a history of hypertension.
"I know I've made a lot of mistakes..."
"You know that and your mistakes are hard to forgive and now you're asking me to persuade Jasmine to forgive you? Where did all your common sense go, Dito? You're not just ruining my daughter's life but my granddaughter's." My grandmother kept yelling and yelling.
"Not satisfied that you hurt my daughter? She died because you cheated on her when she was pregnant!" I shut my mouth tight, too surprised to hear all this.
My tears came back, regretting my anger towards my grandmother because she hid the fact that my father did not let go completely.
My father was a very bad man, not only to me but also to my mother...
My poor mother...
"You depressed her when you found out that she was pregnant when she was pregnant with Jasmine herself! Every day my poor daughter has nightmares, cries hysterically every night because of the betrayal you committed and now you're making my granddaughter experience the same thing."
"..."
"If you don't love them already... Stop appearing, stop constantly hurting Jasmine! Stop hurting my family... Stay quietly with the family you choose, the family you built after destroying my daughter and granddaughter's lives... Please stop coming and go as you left without ever turning your head, leaving behind my son and granddaughter... Go, I beg you... I beg of you, Dito ... To an old woman who once thought of you as my own son, I beg of you... I beg..."
I can't take it anymore, I'm out of where I'm hiding. Hearing my grandmother weeping softly was heart-wrenching.
"Please leave us, you really have no right to be here." I said, which made my grandmother and my father surprised because of my presence.
"Jasmine.." with a face soaked with tears, my father stepped closer to me but I refused to approach him until the end I knelt.
"Jasmine!" My grandmother screamed to see me.
The helmet I was holding fell on the floor while my knee was bleeding, but the pain in my knee was nothing compared to the wound in my heart.
"I beg of you... Please don't come again... Pl-please... I beg..."
"Jasmine, I was wrong ... I'm sorry, Jasmine." said my father, who also knelt down. He cried so much because he did not dare to embrace me.
"I'd forgive you if only you could make my mother live again..."
My father was stunned, he looked helpless against my request.
"Jasmine, please give dad one more chance to fix all this..."
"Then return my mother ... Give my mother's life back to us, to me. to my grandmother..."
"That's impossible, son..."
"BECAUSE IT STOPS!!! STOP... DON'T COME HERE ANYMORE! I'VE SUFFERED MY WHOLE LIFE, I beg YOU... I beg..."
