The Charm of the Director

Bad luck

Joan kept staring at her wall clock. It's been a few hours but Jessy hasn't returned yet. The rain began to fall. He let Jessy go alone because she was meeting with some models. He doesn't know what to say if Dean contacts him.

I heard the door open. Joan half ran to reach it. He saw Jessy back with wet hair.

"Why didn't you call me?" joan was angry

"I didn't bring my phone. I waited there for a while until the rain stopped. But it's a shame the rain keeps falling." Jessy said shivering.

Joan took Jessy to her room. "Quick change. If Dean finds out, I'll be scolded. You know what if Dean gets angry. I promised I'd take care of you."

Jessy smiled. " Yes, I know.."

"Why do you insist on going to the coffeeshop anyway. You've never been like this before."

"I don't know. I just want to drink that" Jessy said

"You're so naughty." said Joan annoyed.

"I'm sorry. I won't repeat it again."

"Yes better be like that" said Joan while driving Jessy to the room.

"Did Dean call you?" jessy asked as she changed her clothes.

"No. I've been busy meeting all day." he said, watching Jessy.

Jessy frowned. Dean's never been like this before. He took his phone and started calling. There's no answer. He looked at Joan. "There's no connecting tone" Jessy told a lie.

"Maybe your husband is busy. I'll get you some medicine so you don't get the flu" Joan said as she walked out.

Jessy looked back at her phone. Why didn't Dean answer the phone from him? He never misses a call from her. Suddenly he was attacked with sadness. What the hell happened to him? Why did he feel so strange these few days?

Dean came into his apartment angry. He is angry that he just kept quiet to see Jessy in a coffeeshop together. She was angry that Jessy was smiling like that to a man who wasn't her husband.

He sat on the couch without turning on the lights. He feels pain. He returns home to see Jessy because she misses him. But it turns out he saw Jessy with another man.

He saw his phone ringing. Jessy called. He immediately threw it to the sofa across the corner until the sound was reduced. He lifted his head and closed his eyes. There's no Jessy for tonight. He's very angry.

You can't judge Jessy just because she's with another guy? You should ask him. Not with anger!

His heart kept whispering. He stood up and took his cell phone. He called Harris.

"Give me a job for tomorrow. I'll come to the office." he said seriously.

"You sure? Didn't you come back because of your young wife?" tejk Harris's.

"Shut up! If he comes from the village at first, then he will return to the village." said Dean annoyed.

"What do you mean?" harris asked confusedly.

"Don't ask me what's going on" he said, hanging up the phone. Several times his phone rang but still he did not want to lift it.

"You okay? You want me to take you to the doctor?" joan asked when she saw that Jessy was wearing her blanket.

"No. I'll be fine tomorrow morning." replied Jessy.

Joan breathed. He walked out trying to reach Dean. Not lifted. He went back to his room. It's been a while since Jessy looked weird. When she saw Jessy take off her clothes, something made her a little curious. There was a slight difference in his body. Jessy's chest is a little enlarged. Is she pregnant? If Jessy's pregnant, not just Dean's gonna be happy. He was sure that his father would return if he knew he would become his future grandfather.

...***...

This morning should be a bright morning. The rain did not stop. Jessy is hard to wake up. His head was a little dizzy but he also felt his stomach a little strange. Did he drink too much caffeine last night? Or was the flu caused by the rain last night? What Jose said was right. He shouldn't have come home so quickly through the rain like that. He should have waited until the rain had stopped.

Slowly he opened his eyes. He looked at the window. The sunlight is visible. He tried to wake up but he stopped. He saw his cell phone. Too bad there wasn't a call from Dean when he slept. He had to drink something to relieve his dry throat. He woke up from his sleep, forcing himself. Before leaving the room, he looked at himself in the mirror. He looks pale. The flu has tortured him. If Joan finds out, she'll be scolded by him. Last night he gave her medicine. But it seems like the medicine given did not react.

Jessy felt really weak. Looks like he's gonna have to see a doctor this afternoon. He felt he had no energy to move. He will go back to sleep after drinking a glass of milk.

When he was outside the room, he heard his phone ring. It forces me to move quickly. A number without a name?thought.

"Hello.." replied Jessy while sitting next to the bed.

"Hello, honey. How's it going? I miss you." said someone.

Jessy looked back at her phone. "I'm sorry, who is this?". He was confused when he got a call from a woman and called it with the word dear.

"Isabela, baby. Jonas and I miss you" he said.

Suddenly Jessy felt overwhelmed. He was saddened to hear Isabella's enthusiastic voice. He never had parents and was looking for them. But why does he feel Isabela and Jonas like his parents. Both of their attention is sincere. Hearing them remember him made him sad. He can only be silent.

"Hello.. What happened, baby?" isabela asked confusedly when there was no sound from her phone.

"I am so moved to hear your voice. Miss you. Although you're not my parents, I feel like I've found both of my parents. I'm lonely. No one accompanied me. I'm ill. But no one cares about me." Jessy replied with a sob.

"Then you can call me Mama. I will gladly accept you as my son. What you worry about, what you think and feel, you can tell me. I will exist even if we are far apart." said Isabela wisely.

"Something's up. There seems to be a weirdness. I've had a lot of flu, but it's never been like this."

"You can tell me. What happened to your body." Isabela said enthusiastically.

"My body is always limp every morning. I felt like someone was stirring my stomach. It was like I was gonna throw up but I couldn't do it."

"Alright baby I know that. You better go to the doctor to check it out. I'm afraid something's happened to your body. Is there some body that hurts?" god Isabella.

"Yes. I feel like my chest is a little swollen" Jessy said

"I'll wait for the news after you do a check up to the doctor. Don't forget to call me. You are my daughter now. You have to tell me everything. I'm sad to hear you're lonely. I heard it from Jose."

Jessy nodded. He didn't expect Jose to be that good at telling Isabela everything. At first he thought Jose was a news-hungry paparazzi. All his kindness was just to get the news. But his guess was wrong.

Isabela looked at Jonas enthusiastically. "It looks like Jessy's pregnant. I'm so happy" he said, holding Jonas' hand.

Jonas smiles. "I'm glad to hear it."

"From his tone, I felt pity. I'm sure she's pregnant. Would we better tell Dean? We can call him to tell Jessy's current situation."

Jonas pulled Isabella's hand and told her to sit down. "I know you're enthusiastic. But this is both their personal problems. We better shut up and give Jessy some support."

Isabella thought for a moment. "If Dean hurts my beloved, I'll never forgive him. Even if Dean is the son of our best friend."

"Jessy's not even our son."

"He's my son. I've decided it. I promised her when I heard her sob for the first time. Jessy has no right to be hurt. He was forced by Dean into his circle" Isabela said.

"Yes, I'll shut up and watch their progress. Maybe because Jessy was pregnant, she felt sensitive. I don't think it's a big deal "

Isabella looked at her husband. "Since moving here, I've never thought about Jessy. If we find out about Jessy's origins, do you want to?"

"I agree but wait for our work to be done. We still have a lot of work here. Some fields are waiting for the rainy season. We can't leave the workers in the middle of this erratic weather."

Isabela pouting. There was a feeling that her husband didn't understand if he was talking about Jessy. He felt his bond was so strong. He regretted not doing it when he was in New York. He sighed.

"Come on, baby, you have to be patient. We'll wait for news from Jessy herself. He'll tell us himself, won't he?" said Jonas.

Isabela just nodded.
