The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 62

Today is the second wedding day for Romi with a beautiful woman named Princess Aurel. The wedding was held simply and was also attended by only a few neighbors, good friends, and the families of the two brides.

The event that was held in the afternoon until the evening was now over, all the invited guests had also disbanded themselves from the Romi residence which became the location of the wedding. Now in the house only remains Romi and his parents and their new family, Aurel and his son.

"Let Andre sleep with Mom and Dad, yeah, Rom. It's your first night, you don't want anything to bother you, do you" Linda teased her son and daughter-in-law.

"Mama doesn't have to bother. Andre can sleep with us really," said Aurel who was not happy with Linda's proposal.

"Udah, not papa. You guys go in that room, it's late. Rest, don't be too tired, the day after 'will go on a honeymoon," Linda reminded.

Getting a nod from Romi, Aurel finally agreed with Linda's words. They immediately entered the room belonging to Romi who had been decorated as romantic as possible by pikah WO.

The next day while having breakfast together, the atmosphere looked so warm because Aurel and Romi were a joke for both Romi's parents. They seem to be very happy with the current situation. As if there were no problems at hand.

"Oh yes, Rail. By the way, this morning when Mama bathed Andre, Mama accidentally saw Andre's birthmark. It's the same as Romi's back."

Aurel was speechless, he stared at Romi with an erratic feeling. For a moment they exchanged glances, until the voice of the Son awakened them from his daydream.

"Is that a sign that Romi is destined to be a father continued Andre, Ma?"

Aurel smiled stiffly at the Son. "Aurel doesn't know either, Pa."

"Ma, today Romi wants to shop with Aurel for preparation tomorrow. Mama and Papa have something to buy, too?" ask Romi by switching the subject.

"It doesn't seem to exist" Linda said.

"Papa does not exist either" said the Son.

"Well, if there's nothing to buy."

"Oh yes, Rom. Em ..."

"What's up, Ma?" romi asked in surprise when he saw Linda who seemed hesitant to say something.

"Em ... When are you going to bring your granddaughter here, son? Mama ... Mama would love to meet your granddaughter" Linda said as she placed her cutlery on the plate. He even seemed to be begging for what he said.

Romi was silent, staring at Linda. A granddaughter? His son with Jinan? For whatever sake Romi suddenly so missed his daughter who was with Jinan. Just like Linda, Romi was also eager to meet her daughter. But somehow Jinan seems to make it difficult for her to meet her son. Even though Jinan himself told her that he would not prevent her from meeting her son.

"Emm, Mom. At this time Romi also still can not meet with the child Romi, what else to bring him here."

"You dong business, Rom. That's your son too, Jinan will also want to meet you with your son if you want to try."

"Ma" cried the Son who was in the main seat of the dining table. He shook his head slowly at his wife, then he set his eyes on Aurel who seemed to be eating his food in a lackluster manner.

Linda, who was coded by her husband, stared at Aurel. He became unwell with his daughter-in-law. Talking about his biological grandson in front of the woman who had just become part of his family who happened to also bring a grandchild for him, even though it was not his own biological granddaughter according to him.

"Aurel."

Feeling her name being called, Aurel looked up, looking up at Linda with a casual smile.

"What's up, Ma?" ask as if nothing happened.

"I'm sorry, Mom, son. Shouldn't be Mama–"

"It's okay, Ma. Aurel knows it, "cut Aurel.

No one spoke after that conversation. The atmosphere looks awkward until breakfast. As Romi and Aurel were about to return to her room to prepare to go to the mall, Linda called Romi with an alibi to ask for help in her husband's study.

When it was felt Aurel had moved away from the dining table, Linda whispered to Romi to ask her son to contact Jinan. Hope to meet with Ayla to be taken home.

"Romi will try, Ma. But Romi couldn't promise Mama to bring him here. Do you know how you accused Jinan of being pregnant because of another man? Maybe it'll be hard."

After finishing trying on the dress that will be worn for the wedding, now Jinan, Ria, Ardo and baby Ayla are on their way to the restaurant for lunch together.

Just as the car they were riding in stopped at the restaurant parking lot, Jinan's phone that was on top of the car's dashboard shook. She sees an incoming message that turns out to be from her ex-husband, Romi. After reading the message, Jinan sighed, then he immediately put the phone into the bag and immediately got out of the car.

From getting out of the car to ordering food, Jinan seemed unfocused when he was spoken to by Ria and Ardo. The woman looked like she was thinking about something else that made her mind slightly disturbed.

"What's wrong with you? You weren't focused when we asked. It seems like something is troubling your mind" said Ardo curiously.

"Em, yes .. mas Romi sent a message. He said ..he wants to see Ayla before tomorrow he leaves with his wife."

Ria was no longer surprised to hear Jinan say that, because she had memorized Romi who often sent Jinan the exact same message like that. Ria stared at Ardo who was just silent, staring at Jinan's face so intensely. I don't know what the guy was thinking.

Long enough Ardo stared at Jinan in silence, making Jinan and Ria feel awkward about the gaze.

"After we get married, I want you to tell me everything related to you and Ayla. Including when your ex-husband wants to meet his son." Ardo paused his sentence for a moment. "I'm not going to forbid the man to meet Ayla, but I'm going to forbid if you take Ayla to her yourself without me accompanying you."

Now it was Jinan's turn to look at Ardo in silence. He did not know what to respond to Ardo's words. In his view, Ardo now sounds like a husband who is possessive of his wife. Either this is just him being carried away because he has never been treated like this before, or Ardo is typical of a possessive man.

"Kak Jinan," exclaimed Ria who managed to resuscitate Jinan from her daydream.

"Ah yeah? What's the matter, Ri?" jinan asked confusedly.

"Sister daydreaming? Brother Ardo said, he said just ask Romi to meet here. We had lunch together."

Jinan stared at Ardo with various questions in his head.

"Why? Are you afraid to meet her?" ardo asked as he looked at the puzzled look on Jinan's face.

"Em, I .. I'm just not ready yet."

"Why? Are you afraid that man will take your son?"

Jinan lowered her gaze, staring at baby Ayla who was staring at the ceiling of the restaurant. Honestly, he did have a little fear of it, but he also could not keep avoiding Romi from his son like this. Wasn't he the one who wanted Romi to acknowledge Ayla as his child so that Ayla could feel the affection of a father? Then why now he himself who actually keep Romi from his son?

With a bold try, Jinan finally sent a message to Romi to invite him to meet this afternoon also at the restaurant he is currently visiting with Ria and Ardo.

Luckily Romi was in the mall not far from the restaurant Jinan meant. Until it only takes 15 minutes, Jinan's ex-husband has now been seen entering the restaurant with his new wife and a small child aged about 1 year in a sling Romi.
