The Happy Ending Love Story

Tipping the World Jessy #3

The volume of work is increasing. The Architects team is in the near future being asked for a presentation of their designs. They should prepare some plans for discussion and which plans to choose. Jessy got a part to design the interior of the room. They're late into the night to catch the deadline.

Presentation time has been set, next week. All Architects were asked to come. No exception to Jessy.

"Tomorrow a presentation to Royal, Jess?" Ask Juna in the middle of their dinner.

"Yes, our team was told to go all in. Yes, we have to present. But isn't it enough Mario has come?" Jessy ruffled her food.

"You all have to come here, Jess, it's a team thing. Later if there are proposals let it all know immediately." Juna answered while sipping warm tea from his glass.

"It makes sense anyway. It's just males mas, I'm allergic." Jessy sighing. He would probably be more passionate about working if his client wasn't Royal Corp.

"This is Jess' Jakarta branch, there won't be him. He's in Bali as far as I know. He is now the CEO. Must be at head office." Juna.

"I see."

"Aren't you Jess?"

"Yes. Im ok mas." Answer Jessy briefly. "My role is not much in this project. I did prepare some space designs but still I can only work if our team design is approved." Further.

"Hopefully tomorrow's presentation will go well, Jess."

"May mas. I also hope for the best. Our team's been working hard."

Juna nodded in understanding. He was even surprised by the seriousness of the Architect Team, especially Jessy. The little sister who used to whine and cry is now an adult. When in front of work he looks serious and charming at once. His eyes sparkled every time he talked about his work at home.

Juna was relieved. The present Jessy is not Jessy five years ago, who lives without hope. His body is alive but his soul is dead. Juna was happy to be able to free Jessy from that pressure. Now he won't interfere in Jessy's life anymore.

"Well crazy, it's a big Real Estate company. Look at the pillars, very big." Yola was unable to cover her admiration.

"La was ordinary. Our office is good too." Renatha chimed in while pinching Yola's hand, but it was the same.

Jessy smiled wryly looking at their behavior.

"Jess what do you think? Agree right? The building's like a palace, right?" Yola is now looking for other support.

"I agree with Renatha La, Jayanegara Group is no less good." Jessy Ledek. Not to support his family. Hundreds of Jayanegara Hotels throughout Indonesia have their own uniqueness.

Yola snorted in annoyance as no one agreed with her. They were waiting for the Royal Corp to come. Currently they were in a medium-sized meeting room with a round table in the middle. Royal staff said they would be late because of a sudden internal meeting.

Guests from Jayanegara Group faithfully wait for their clients with amazing treats. Five-star dishes and spoiled with a luxurious room. They were told to wait all day, too.

Jessy was bored so she went out to get some air. Outside the room there is an open garden. Jessy stretched her body. It was exhausting to wait. According to him waiting is not boring just make sleepy. Jessy almost fell asleep if Yola didn't say much. Yola's vision livened up the gloomy atmosphere there. Waiting without certainty.

After breathing enough air outside, Jessy walks into the bathroom. Due to lack of focus his body hit someone.

"I'm sorry I didn't see." Jessy apologized. Just as his feet were about to step, it was suddenly stopped.

"Mother Jessy?" A familiar voice for Jessy. Jessy looked over and their eyes met.

"Ari's father?" Jessy knew that face.

"Yes ma'am is right. Jessy's mother how are you?" Mr. Ari immediately pulled Jessy's hand. The middle-aged man smiled brightly looking at Jessy.

"Thank God, long time no see Mom. What do you need here?"

"There's work to do, sir." Jessy replied awkwardly. He just didn't think that he would meet Mr. Ari here. They last met four years ago.

"Mom works here?"

"No sir, somewhere else." Answer Jessy. "Call me Jessy sir, I'm not Mr. Ari's employer anymore. I'm not good, sir." Further.

"It's a habit like this, Mom, how else." Mr. Ari smiled awkwardly.

"Sir can be here?" Jessy Pak Ari is in Bali. Mr. Ari is the personal assistant to the CEO of Royal Corp. It's weird to meet this guy here.

"Just like Mom, there's work too." Replied Mr. Ari doubtful. As her mouth was about to continue, Jessy cut it off.

"What is the word of the Goddess, sir? Mbok Ina too? They good?"

"They're good Mom, now in Bali. Next month's goddess is getting married. You must come, the Goddess must be happy that you can come."

"Ah is right sir? Finally the Goddess found her soul mate sir." Jessy laughed involuntarily. "It may be difficult to come, sir. But I'm happy for the Goddess. Greetings to Dewi and Mbok Ina yes sir." Pinta Jessy sincerely.

"Of course Mother. I'll tell you."

"If I say yes sir, I still have business." Jessy doesn't want to extend her chat with Mr. Ari. He immediately left Pak Ari without looking. He went into the bathroom and immediately closed the door.

His heart is pounding. His body was shaking violently. He just wants to live quietly. From the beginning he did not want to be in contact with the Royal Corp. But her brother kept urging her to be professional. Today he met an unexpected person. People who were once close before were as far away as they are now.

Jessy wants to run. He wants to hide. The alarm clink in his head jerks. Jessy doesn't want to remember her bitter memories five years ago.

His face was pale and his eyes were soft. Jessy wet her face then tidied her shoulder hair. Cut in bop style and neat. After taking a deep breath Jessy returned to the meeting room. The meeting has already begun. The Royal Corp has filled an empty seat in front of the team from the Jayanegara Group.

"Jess where are you?"

"I'm sorry about the bathroom. Did it start, huh?"

"Udah Jess, there was a little welcome."

"Wait what is La?"

"I don't know, I'm looking forward to the presentation preparation."

Jessy and Yola were whispering in the very end of the chair. The men should be happy enough to sit at the last and farthest table. In front there sat lined up those who had higher positions. Close to the projector screen and close to the leader.

When Jessy comes in she doesn't notice around because she's self-conscious if she's late. He straightened his back then looked straight ahead. A knife was stuck into his chest through the gaze of the person sitting at the front end there. Their eyes meet.

Jessy forgot how to breathe. His body stiffened and a strange reaction spread throughout his bloodstream. The person he had been avoiding all this time, the person who made him shiver only heard his name, and the person who made him always had nightmares every night, he said, now looking at him with the same eyeballs as five years ago.

Kent Ozyl Sadewa's son, Jessy's ex-husband. They finally meet again.

No matter how hard we hold back, what comes will still come. No matter how much we try, those who leave will never come back.
