The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 53

"Your grandchild?" Ardo screeches. "When did this kid become your grandson? Didn't you say that this child was the son of another man?"

"No. I didn't say that. I never said that. Jinan, Papa never said that, son," Son exclaimed at Jinan.

Jinan just kept quiet with her cries. He does not know what to give respo to the Son. All he thought about right now was his son, he was afraid that if they found out that Ayla was their granddaughter, they would take Ayla away from him. I don't know why Jinan now likes to think badly about his son. Perhaps because of his experience that is often left behind by people around him also makes Jinan afraid of losing his child.

Just now the Son was about to approach Jinan, but his body was restrained and preferred to refute the body of his wife who was limp and suddenly unconscious.

  

  

...

  

After the departure of Sila and Putra from her home, Jinan just kept quiet on her single sofa. Sila and the Son already knew that this child was the flesh of Romi. Will they take their children away from him? Jinan shook his head, he did not want that to happen.

"Jinan," call Ardo from Jinan's side double sofa.

Jinan looked at Ardo with her sweet face.

"Your son is crying" Ardo said.

Jinan looked at his son who was still in Ardo's arms. He was shocked to realize that his son was crying.

"Astaghfirullah." Jinan stood up from his seat. "Em, can you put my son on the couch?"

Without lingering, Ardo immediately put baby Ayla who was still crying on the sofa.

"I put my son to sleep first" Jinan said, with a nod of the head by Jinan.

As Jinan turned to his room, Ardo took a look at every corner of Jinan's house. He walked around the walls of the house displayed very simple decoration. There were no pictures of Jinan or his family in the living room, but Ardo was eager to see the woman's face in the photo. Especially if you can take a picture and save it on your phone, it will be very fun. Look at the portrait of the woman when she is tired from her work, or look at the portrait of the woman before she goes to sleep. Gosh, it would be crazy if he lingered on thinking about it.

When Ardo wants to sit back on the sofa, Ardo's cell phone in his jacket pocket rings. Ardo sighed when he found out that it was his papa who was currently calling him. He walked outside to answer his call.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said the middle-aged man from there.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Papa can't, don't call me at all times like this. Yes I will go home this day, papa take it easy," said Ardo with regret. He was so upset that his father kept calling him almost five times a day. And that's just to ask when he's coming home.

"Papa will keep calling you before you stand straight in front of Papa."

"Gosh, Papa. I told you that I'm going home today. Please don't keep calling me like this."

"How did Papa know you were really going home? Who knew you'd cancel your flight again. Papa doesn't believe you, Ardo."

Ardo sighed, his papa understood so much of himself that he never kept his promise. But he also gets annoyed with calls coming in from his papa every day to his cell phone. Want to block his papa number, it's impossible. He might not be alive again tomorrow.

"Alright, Ardo will send a photo when it's on the plane later. Papa take it easy, this time Ardo must be home. It's a long time ago, Pa, Ardo was having some important business. Ardo hang up. Oh yeah, greetings to my mom. Assalamu'alaikum."

Ardo sighed again while shaking his head. "Papa's bottom," he murmured slowly.

As he turned around to enter Jinan's house, he was surprised by the presence of Jinan who was already standing in the doorway.

"Em, maaf. Aku tidak bermaksud mendengar pembicaraanmu dengan orang tuamu," ucap Jinan tak enak hati. Ia yang tadinya ingin ke teras karena tidak melihat kehadiran Ardo di ruang tamu, tak sengaja mendengar percakapan Ardo dengan orang tuanya. Saat ia hendak kembali masuk ke dalam rumahnya, ternyata Ardo sudah lebih dulu berbalik dan melihat kehadirannya. Ia sungguh merasa tidak enak hati dengan Ardo.

"No problem. Oh yeah, is your son asleep?" ask Ardo.

"Not yet, but being left for a while doesn't matter."

Ardo nodded his head. A few seconds of silence, Ardo again remembered his intention to come to Jinan's house, which was to give a gift in the form of a necklace to the woman.

"Mad."

"Yes?"

Ardo grabbed a small box with a gold necklace in his jacket pocket. He held out the box before Jinan's face.

"For you," he said.

"Take it and see for yourself."

With doubt Jinan took the box from Ardo's hand, and he opened it. Jinan's eyes widened when he saw a very beautiful white gold necklace on the pads in the box.

"God, God is so beautiful" praised Jinan in heart.

"Why did you give this necklace to me?" ask Jinan astonished.

"A small part of my love for you" Ardo said, looking straight at Jinan's beautiful eyes.

Jinan just kept silent to hear Ardo's words.

"Jinan. Maybe you'll get tired of hearing me say this stuff all the time. But you should know that I really love you. I'm serious about you."

"Are you going to leave me, too, as Romi did?" jinan asked with a stifled suata.

Ardo looked at Jinan deeply.

"I would never do that. I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. You are the only woman in my life besides my mother and sister. Forever only you, Jinan. There will be no other woman to fill this heart but you."

Jinan's eyes glazed over to hear Ardo's words that sounded like a sweet promise to her.

"I've never loved a woman other than my mother and sister. You are my first woman Jinan. And I'll make sure that you're also my last woman. I promise you."

"Never make a promise if you can't keep it" Jinan said.

"I'll prove it if you want" Ardo said, sounding like he was asking for answers.

Jinan closed his eyes by exhaling a long breath. He opened his eyes again and looked at Ardo with a confident look.

"Go home. I'll wait for proof from you."

Ardo looked at Jinan confusedly. What the hell does this mean? Jinan accepted? Or is it just halu?

"You accepted my love?" ask Ardo not believe it.

"Go, you'll miss the plane" Jinan said, not responding to Ardo's questions.

"I'm not leaving until you answer my question. I asked, did you accept my love?"

"We're all grown up, Ar. Without answering your question, you should have understood the meaning of my sentence."

"I don't understand and now answer my question. Did you accept my love?" ask Ardo again.

Jinan sighed. Why is this guy so stubborn, he's ashamed to say it.

"Let's go Jinan, how hard it is to answer my question" urged Ardo.

"Yes, Ar. Yes, I accept you. Are you satisfied?" said Jinan with cheeks that have been flushed because they resist embarrassment.
