The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 56

Istanbul, Turkey. 14:35 PM.

Evardo Rafandra's. After successfully sending a message to his future female candidate, the man who will soon turn twenty-nine years old is seen busy with a myriad of tasks given by his father before he officially accepted the position as President Director of the retail company that has been led by his own father, Basir Rafandra.

"Fel."

Ardo stopped his activity, he looked up at the father who was staring at him from his seat of greatness.

"What's up, Pa?"

"How are you preparing to apply for Jinan later?" ask Basir.

"God is safe, Pa. It's just that Ardo has not prepared a place for his wedding later. Ardo wants to make a wedding party according to Jinan's wishes, and Ardo will ask that when we meet Jinan later."

"Why should I later? Why not just now?"

"Ardo has not wanted to discuss this with Jinan now, Pa. Ardo wants to surprise Jinan later."

"But did it happen, Ar?" ask Basir not sure.

"Everything can be controlled as long as money can still run, Pa."

Basir shook his head with the behavior of his son this one. The first time you fall in love, you have to make other people bother.

 

 

🍁Flashback On🍁

 

 

Two days after his return to Turkey, Ardo was only able to gather all his core family members in one meeting. Not too many, only the two parents, sister, sister-in-law, and beautiful nephew were present at the family meeting. They gathered at one of Aslan's five-star hotel restaurants, Ardo's brother-in-law, and had dinner together.

"What do you want to talk about, Ar?" ask Huri - the older sister of Ardo - who was impatient with the theme of the conversation tonight.

"Ec ... Ma, Pa, brother, Ardo wants to get married."

"What!" pekik Huri and Elif together.

Basir who was drinking his coffee was no less surprised by the two women, he even choked because of his drink and made some of his collar wet. While Aslan was no less surprised than they just stared strangely at Ardo, he did not scream or do anything silly. The man was indeed famous for his calm demeanor.

"Whatdidyou say? Be married? Don't just say yes, Ar," said Basir while cleaning his wet clothes with a tissue.

"Serious ardo, Pa. Ardo has decided to get married in the near future."

"Which woman do you want to marry, Ar? What German woman could make you fall in love with that?" ask Huri in a seductive tone.

Ardo did tell his brother about his love for Jinan, but he did not tell the details of Jinan's life to his brother. According to Ardo himself, without being told he was very sure if his family would really like the figure of a woman like Jinan.

"Which woman, Hur?" asked Ardo's mother named Elif to her daughter.

"Come, Ma. Ardo doesn't want to tell Huri's story."

"Why did you suddenly say you wanted to get married?" ask Basir curious.

His son had never been seen close to any woman, it was obviously very strange if Ardo said he wanted to get married suddenly like this. He said he wants to get married soon. Basir was curious, there must be something that his son hid from them all.

"There are many reasons why Ardo wants to marry her in the near future, Pa."

"Just say, we all have a lot of time tonight" Basir said casually.

"Say, son," said Elif, who also wanted to hear the reason of his son. She was just like her husband who was shocked by Ardo's shocking words.

Gaining curious gazes from his family, Ardo finally begins to tell the reason why he wants to marry Jinan.

Not even Ardo continued the story, Huri first let go of her laughter when she heard Ardo's first sentence about love at first sight. While the other three people just stared confusedly at Ardo.

Maybe for them the word love looks ridiculous when out of Ardo's mouth. The problem is, they never once saw the word love in Ardo's life other than the love for his family.

Seeing Ardo who never continued the story because Huri was still laughing, Basir finally cleared his throat while staring at Huri with his sharp gaze. Without waiting for a long time, Huri finally stopped her laughter and Ardo resumed his story that had been delayed.

"Ardo doesn't know why Ardo could have liked that woman, Ma. At first Ardo was only amazed by him, but the more Ardo knew him more deeply through his friend, whether since when this feeling grew in Ardo's heart. Name's Jinan. Although sometimes he looks fierce to Ardo, but she's a good woman, Ma, Pa. Her tone was so gentle, her face was beautiful, she had a very sincere heart, and she was also a godly woman."

"In addition to her personality that makes Ardo amazed, another reason Ardo who wants to marry her is none other than because Ardo wants to protect her from the bad slander of the neighbors around her residence and also her former in-laws."

"Wait a minute" cut Basir. "Former-in-law? You mean that woman's a widow?" asked Basir with his curious face.

"Yes, she is a widow and has one daughter who is three months old."

Everyone at the dinner table was shocked to hear Ardo's words, they couldn't believe that Ardo could love a single Mom.

"You want to marry a widow, Ar?" ask Elif not to believe it.

"What's wrong with a widow? The fall of feelings we cannot determine with just a status, Ma. Ardo's heart is now fixed on one name, Jinan, a widowed woman with one child."

Silence immediately struck, shock made both parents Ardo could not give an answer to his blessing on the goodwill of his son who wanted to marry Jinan.

But after Ardo tells clearly about Jinan's life at length, finally Ardo's parents want to approve him to marry Jinan. Ardo tells his family all of Jinan's life exactly as Ria told him when they shared the story at Jinan's restaurant some time ago. Even Elif who heard the story from Ardo had shed tears because he could not bear to imagine what it was like to be Jinan.

"So, when are we gonna propose to her, Ar? I can't wait to see Jinan."

"Ardo will complete all the tasks that Papa gave Ardo first, Ma. After that, we all went to Indonesia to apply for Jinan. Ardo also wants Ardo and Jinan's marriage to be held in Indonesia. Because after we get married, Ardo wants to bring Jinan and his son to live here alone, Ma. Ardo does not want Jinan to live close to her ex-husband."

"We all agree, son. Let Jinan stay here with his son. If he misses his hometown, you can occasionally take a vacation there," Elif said and greeted the others with a nod of the head, indicating they agreed with what Elif said.

 

 

🍁Flashback Off🍁

"Pa," Ardo calls on Basir who starts focusing on his computer's worth.

"What's wrong?" asked Basir without leaving his gaze from the computer screen.

"Can Ardo borrow Adli for two days?"

Basir looked up at Ardo with a frown. Adli is the only reliable hakers in the world who work for Basir. Then why did Ardo borrow Adli, thought Basir astonished. Who would want to investigate his son?

"Do you want to borrow Adli?"

"Investigating someone's past."
