Two grown men were engaged in a serious conversation. They sit facing each other. In the middle of them was a table that separated. There are two cups of coffee that are still billowing smoke.
"I'm just worried."
"That's Jessy. Hard-headed."
Their gazes drifted far into the tall buildings visible from the window panes.
"Jessy can't forget Kent's past. Please understand." Juna laughed blandly.
"Yes, I was wrong. Very guilty." Kent's voice was weak.
"But Jessy forgave you. So you don't have to worry."
"I just want to be in charge."
"You faced it yourself. How stubborn is he." Juna Timpal.
"Looks like he's fine. I'm overdoing it."
"Jessy's good at Kent, he's stronger than you can imagine."
Kent's gurgling for sure. Seeing how stubborn Jessy's head was, she must be fine. I don't know why Kent doesn't like to see it. Her eyes were still overshadowed by Jessy's frail condition and she was the one protecting her. Clutching that weak body in his arms. Kent's heart is full. Growing more inclined to protect Jessy.
"I want to protect her. But he seems to hate me." Kent's voice vibrates. "If I ask him to come back how?" Kent hesitated.
"You mean refer?"
Kent nodded.
"Difficult." Short solid and clear.
Kent realized his big mistake. After the four find out he suddenly comes and asks Jessy back. Thinking with reason alone is impossible. That's the impossible.
Their divorce was a turning point for Kent. Now he can only regret it. Events in Bali tore apart Kent's beliefs. The feeling of wanting to protect him was high.
"Don't mean to interfere with Kent but Jessy still remembers her past so she might have a hard time accepting you again, just imagine someone who used to be hostile to us suddenly wants better? If you want to try to convince Jessy please." Juna.
"I tried and Jessy refused."
Kent went straight to Juna after he finished talking to Jessy.
"I don't care what your problem is, I just don't want you to hurt Jessy anymore."
Kent looked at Juna. Juna's voice sharpens.
"If Jessy says no please don't force her. We forced her to marry you. With all the incompetence of our family because of the company. But it turns out you hurt him. If I can repeat the time I'll stop your marriage. I'll find any way to save the company without asking for your help."
Juna's memory is fresh. How Jessy refused marriage to Kent until she was forced to live it. Juna thinks Kent, who he knows, can protect Jessy, but he's the first one to hurt Jessy. Juna will never forget how much Jessy cried because of Kent.
"I'm a fool, I'm not an adult."
"Yes, it was your fault. Don't come back if you want to hurt Kent. Let Jessy live her own life. He wants to go back to England, I agree with his idea."
"When?" Kent's body jerks.
"After the project is completed. Meeting you again really shook Jessy."
"I think I hurt Jessy a lot." Kent's shoulder is down. He is faced with past mistakes.
Kent's desperate. Effortless. No more chances for him. He is aware of his mistake. The foreign feeling he felt upon meeting Jessy again had to be his own. He wants to make amends for all his mistakes.

The days quickly passed. Without feeling like a new moon has come. The Jayanegara Architects Team packed the items. They're ready to go back to the home office. From tomorrow they no longer need to come to the Royal Corp. They simply do a review if needed. With that their working period at Royal Corp was declared complete.
Jessy was living her days as usual. Go and go back to the office. His steps were light as he was no longer at Royal.
"Kangen doesn't work at Royal?" Chirps Renatha in the middle of her lunch.
"Betul mbak, kangen also turned out. Can't move on us yet." Tympano Yola.
"Rubber." Renatha.
Jessy was silent and did not respond. He was busy with rice paddies on his plate.
They only eat three, because the men prefer to eat elsewhere.
Jessy nodded quickly. "Yes that's it."
"Don't see Mr. Kent every day. When you wake up, look at the cogan next to us, my goodness, the heart is safe." Yola suddenly held onto her chest.
"Against La. I could faint every day." The laughter of Yola and Renatha sounded light.
Jessy was indifferent. Compared to Kent, the rice paddies on his plate were now more tempting.
"Jess how do you eat so much?" Tanya Yola reprimanded.
He remembered Jessy today who was very greedy. This morning Renatha came to the office carrying a box of tiramisu, Jessy spent half of it. Before lunch Mario who had just come home from an outside review brought a cheese cake, again Jessy ate almost half of it. Then unexpectedly Juna came over and brought two bottles of strawberry juice which he said Jessy ordered. Yola had just turned her head for a while and Jessy had already spent it all.
And now Jessy's eyes flashed with enthusiasm with her plate full of rice and side dishes. Yola shakes her head. Despite eating a lot of Jessy does not look fat. He wondered where all the food had gone.
"Laper La's. You guys don't even care about me."
"Be careful about sprains." Renatha Timpal.
Jessy nodded with a mouth full of rice.
"Jess said Mr. Juna is looking for you." Doni said as he watched Jessy return to the office.
"Oh okay, I went there first."
Jessy stepped lightly towards Juna's office. Inside Juna was waiting for Jessy. They sat on the sofa comfortably.
"Let me?"
"Sit Jess."
Jessy nodded.
"Someone wants to say."
"What's wrong?"
"A few weeks ago Kent came to see me."
Jessy's forehead is wrinkled. Hearing Kent's name again made him shudder.
"What's he coming to Mas Juna?" Jessy's alarm alarm bell sounded.
"Kent said he was worried about you."
"That's it?"
"He admitted his mistake and apologized."
"It doesn't really matter. To me too when I answered, I have forgiven him."
"It's not just that, Kent wants to make amends by mending his relationship with you Jess."
"meaning?"
"Kent wants to refer."
"What?" Jessy gasp.
"Mas feels you should know, so I called you here."
"Are you kidding me?"
"No. It's sure Jess."
"Huh, crazy."
"What do you think Jess?"
"No. Big no!"
"Mas has given him Jess' understanding. Maybe you should meet and talk. Finish what's still stuck in my heart."
"Don't want to go. Our relationship is long over."
