Jason spent this morning arranging the next big planting, naming the fruit touted as a miracle fruit, a member of the Sapotace family that turned out to be very popular for both local and export markets. The fruit that comes from a small green tree has unique characteristics that make the sour and bitter taste sweet.
The sour miracle fruit is nothing compared to lemon. Mature trees will be filled with small Olive-shaped and bright red fruits, with white fruit flesh and shiny seeds.
They no longer grow ordinary tropical fruits such as mango, banana, a type of papaya and lychee and replace them with jaboticaba, rambutan, jackfruit, sapodilla, star-shaped star, and mangosteen. The plants grow quickly and are suitable for tropical regions. And the tropical fruits of the Havilah Plantation are widely ordered.
At that time, Harry asked Jason to accompany him to afternoon tea at the big house. Jason doesn't really like to drink tea, although Harry is one of the owners of tea and coffee plantations in Tableland. Lately, since Harry wasn't as active as he used to be, Jason was in charge of overseeing the estate. Jason likes to accompany Harry and Harry still likes to be with him. Inwardly, Jason has to admit that Harry makes him feel that Liv is still a part of his life.
How much Jason loved that woman! Jason's heart still puffs up when he imagines the happiness the woman brings, even though he tries not to think about Liv too often. Outside of work, Jason gets used to living a life of despair. He poured all of himself into the work. During the two years he returned to work with Harry, the people of this area seemed to have forgotten or at least forgiven Jason's mistake of severing ties with the beloved Olivia Linfield. Harry Linfield's.
Olivia has or may still have her own class. Since long ago the woman was a mixture of various noble backgrounds. The migration wave of Italian families, for example, has opened up the North, contributing greatly to the development of the sugar industry. In Jason also flows Italian blood, although almost all of his facial appearance resembles that of his Irish father.
Olivia Linfield was like the king's daughter to them. The woman also enjoyed her status. She dreams of all men, but Olivia chooses Jason. A daughter who wooed and won youth with different backgrounds.
From the age of sixteen, Jason's father worked as a cane cutter like Jason's grandfather. At the time, mechanical cane cutters had not replaced manual labor. Her mother helped with housework in the Big House, not that it was embarrassing. In various ways, the job was considered good luck for those whose positions were less favorable to continue higher school. When Jason was twelve years old and almost an adult, his father left the family. One day his father was there, the man in the mood was up and down and angry and the next day he left.
"Thank God!" jason's grandmother, who hails from Italy, shook her fists to the sky. Her grandmother was dramatic. "He's a dick!" His father sometimes slapped his mother.
Usually at times drunk, not drunk because of joy, but ready to explode. Jason's father isn't bad. There are also fun times. But his father was a complex man who hated his life as a poor man.
His father was not suited to the life of the labourer. Isn't his father really smart? And handsome. Jason remembered how handsome his father was. Awesome, so said his mother. Tall, muscular, graceful like an agile forest cat. Jason's father loved to read. He loves books, always wants to learn. Jason's grandmother, jealous of the Princess' love for the man, called her father a dick. Jason's father wasn't.
At the last moment Jason's father tells them that he feels the urge to paint. Time's running out. He needs to learn a lot. Niall Corey was able to draw. The humans. Animals. Pheasants. Whatever he wants. Jason's father leaves a message for his wife, informing her that he is following in Gauguin's footsteps. Does that mean the father sailed to Tahiti? Like Gauguin, the famous painter, Jason's father abandoned his wife and family.
They never heard from their father again.
Jason did not see Megan until she was next to the car, tapping the passenger window to get Jason to open it.
"Hi, Megan." Jason rolled down the window, forcing himself to smile as the woman embarrassed and scared him. Jason never liked Megan Duffy. That woman is pretty, but a little weird. Liv has always been good to Megan, because that's how Liv is. Liv even asks megan to be one of the bridesmaids, which Jason didn't plan to do, but the wedding day is the bride's special day. In fact, since the night of Sean Duffy's 25th birthday party, Jason was terrified to cross paths with Sean's sister.
" What's up?" jason asked, thinking there couldn't be a problem. He's on his way to meet Liv, his true love. Nothing can stand in her way and Liv.
"I need to talk to you, Jason." Megan's eyes were wide open, her eye bags appearing dark on her pale skin. It doesn't look healthy.
A fear-like sensation flowed through Jason's body."Good. Climb in. I'm going to Liv's. I can take you on your way there."
Jason tried to be friendly, even though everything in the woman made him panic. She felt a claustrophobic attack as Megan sat next to her in the car. He felt something strange, like he was almost out of breath. Jason gulped, his throat was very dry, but it looked like his salivary glands were also gulping, then glanced at Megan, looking at Megan's pale face."What's up, Megan?"
Megan's voice was barely audible."I was late," he said.
Jason was so scared that he laughed."What's late?"
"Two months."Now Megan began to cry red patches almost immediately appeared on her cheeks and the tip of her nose.
"I'm pregnant, Jason. I just keep getting sick."Megan's voice grew so high that she was almost hysterical.
"This is your baby, Jason. Your baby... I was still a virgin."
Most men think Megan is still a virgin. "Don't do this to me! You sure Megan?"Jason groaned, in shock realizing that his hands were trembling." Just once, I don't even remember. I've never been that drunk in my entire life. Oh, why talk about it! Have you checked with the doctor?" Just Jason, feeling himself in pain.
