The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 72

In the middle of lunch Jinan and Ardo, suddenly the figure of Romi entered the restaurant while running with bad breath. Jinan who saw that frowned, the arrival of Romi like that makes him think that the man had just been chased by thugs. While Ardo at that time only glanced once at Romi and resumed his lunch.

"I'm sorry if I'm late. You're not leaving yet, are you?" romi asked him to catch his breath.

"Em, no," Jinan replied briefly.

Without being told to sit down, Romi was already sitting his own body in the chair opposite Jinan. Ardo who saw Romi sitting opposite his wife then rose from his seat and immediately asked Jinan to change seats with him.

"Clean your face and hands in the sink. Do not let my son get sick after meeting you," said Ardo with his flat face.

"What do you mean?"

"Your hands and face are full of sweat, and in that sweat there are a lot of bacteria that are not very good for Ayla's health. I just don't want my son to get sick just because of you" Ardo explained in a snobbish tone.

"Ayla is my son, not your son. Don't overdo it, I'm not sweating anyway." Romi does not like the way Ardo talks that says that Ayla is his son. And moreover the man said as if he was carrying a disease for his son.

Ardo pulled one corner of his lips, then he leaned his body on the back of the chair while hugging Ayla's body.

"You want to talk about Ayla's father status?" ardo asked by raising one of his eyebrows.

"You know. You're just a biological father. Not a father like a father in general. You said that Ayla was your son, as if you were the one who had been with him since this child was still a zygote." Ardo paused his sentence for a moment. "Don't you think I don't know what you've been like all this time, Romi."

Romi was silent with the words of Ardo that were very piercing into his heart, especially the last time Ardo spoke. Romi can guess if Ardo is currently bringing up his past while with Jinan.

Wait up!

If the assumption is correct. So, where does Ardo know all that? Did Jinan tell Ardo all that?

His gaze was now staring at Jinan questioningly. But unfortunately the woman just lowered her head, staring at her food that was on the plate. It was as if the woman did not hear their conversation, or just pretended not to listen and did not want to get involved in this conversation.

"One more." Romi looked at Ardo who said his words. "You have to remember this. Ayla is Jinan's son. And now Jinan is my wife. That means Ayla is my son too." 

Because he could not say anything more, and also feared his disgrace was exposed because it had served Ardo's words, Ardo, finally Romi chose to give up and decided to go to the sink next to the restaurant toilet to wash his hands and face.

Throughout his departure from the presence of Ardo, not a second Romi stopped his curse on Ardo who acted arrogantly in front of him. It is as if he is the only man on the face of this earth who deserves and deserves to be a father and husband for Ayla and Jinan.

After sitting his body back in the chair opposite Ardo, now Ardo gives Ayla to him. Her daughter is very beautiful and adorable. Her body was pure white with a fairly pointed nose, just like her real mother. And the part he likes the most is, his mouth, lips, and ears that are very similar to him when he was a child.

Romi really enjoyed his moment together with Ayla there. He doesn't even care about Ardo trying to be romantic with Jinan in front of him.

At exactly 13:30 pm, Ardo decided to end his meeting with Romi today. Soon is Ayla's time napping with Jinan, she doesn't want to just because of their unfortunate encounter, so it must be detrimental to her son and wife. Moreover, he was fed up with seeing the face of the br3ngs3k man.

"Can I see my son once a week, Ji?" ask Romi after they're out of the restaurant.

"Can't." It was not Jinan who answered, it was Ardo. And it clearly made Romi frown on his forehead looking at the man with a dislike look.

"Why?"

"Jinan will come with me to my home country. And we don't know when we'll be back here. That's why I asked Jinan to meet you today."

Romi widened his eyes. To Ardo's home country? Just now that he met his son, Jinan now wants to take his son away from him again.

"Where?" ask Romi.

"You don't need to know. I'll let you know later if we're back in Indonesia."

"Stop saying that he's your son" Ardo cut in a growl. "He is your biological son. But that doesn't mean that you can take care of Ayla. Jinan is fully entitled to Ayla, and I am fully entitled to Jinan at this time. So without my permission, Jinan would not be able to do anything. You should be grateful that Jinan still wants to bring you together with Ayla, and I still allow her to."

"If I had been Jinan, I probably wouldn't have asked my husband for permission. And I'll keep Ayla away from you, too."

Jinan clasped Ardo's arm. As their gaze met, Jinan muttered softly saying;

"Here you go, let's go home."

Ardo sighed, it felt like his strength was drained a lot just because he was watching this man talk. It seemed that he was a little regretful for proposing this meeting.

"You should know, Romi. I already know everything. Don't let me expose all this rottenness of yours to your son."

"Ar," cried Jinan by tightening his hand grip on Ardo's arm. While Romi was silent at the time, his eyes widened to Ardo's words. Know everything?

"alright. Let's get in the car." Ardo gives Ayla to Jinan and walks to the front door of the car to open the car door for his wife.

"Sorry Mas, I have to go home" said Jinan by looking at Romi's face at a glance.

"Jinan," call Romi.

Jinan stopped her steps without turning around to look at the man.

"Please, keep me informed of Ayla's progress. Say whatever you need, I'll definitely send it to you."

"Honey, come on," cried Ardo who had been waiting for a minute for Jinan beside the car door.

"God willing," Jinan told Romi, then continued his steps to get into the car.

Romi stared at Jinan's departure with a long sigh. Shortly after that he saw Ardo walking towards him with a flat face. Pretty close the distance between them, leaving a few inches between his face and Ardo's face.

"If someday Ayla finds out all the rottenness of her biological father that has affected her mother, you would have been able to imagine what Ayla's views and attitudes will be like to you," whispered Ardo right in front of his face.

Romi was silent, staring in surprise at what Ardo said. No, he couldn't imagine that. And he didn't want his son to hate him because of his past. No. gabe. He won't let that happen.

"Damn," said Romi after the car carried by Ardo drove away from him.
