The Life of the Haram
19. Feelings



Enter the room and still carrying Jojo, slowly Arseno put Jojo's body on the sofa in the room.


"Wait here, I'll grab a drink first" Arseno said gently as she left Jojo sitting on the sofa.


"It's a minunlah" Arseno said as she gave a glass of water.


"Thank you" said Jojo who had drunk the water brought by Arseno.


"illness?"arseno asked as she stroked Jojo's cheek gently and blew a slow blow at the corner of Jojo's lips.


"Not anymore" Jojo said with a sweet smile towards Arseno.


"You're this" said Arseno anxiously looking at Jojo.


"Take a mess" upset Jojo while tidying up his hair that was ruffled by Arseno.


The two were silent no longer, staring at each other, making Arseno unconsciously tilt her face and their two lips meet and just stick together.


Realizing what he was doing made Arseno keep her face away from Jojo's face.


"Sorry" Arseno said guiltily and hugged Jojo gently.


"For?"jojo asked who returned Arseno's embrace.


"Kiss you without permission" Arseno said.


"It's okay, I'm sorry too" said Jojo, still in Arseno's arms.


"For?"astonished Arseno and began to stretch his embrace.


"I claimed to be your lover" Jojo said, looking closely at Arseno's eyes.


"I like you that's why I say it" Jojo said


small rarity.


Hearing Jojo's words, making Arseno freeze, actually he felt happy, because Jojo liked it but on the other hand he doubted whether Jojo would accept his status as a widower with one child.


"It's not necessary to think about it just assume I never said it" said Jojo who looked relaxed.


Seeing Arseno pensively made Jojo switch the conversation.


"Where's my phone?"ask Jojo


"A moment" Arseno said as she stood up, took Jojo's phone in the desk drawer and handed it to Jojo.


"All right, let me go first" Jojo told Arseno.


"The expression of my feelings was not taken seriously" said Jojo with a sweet smile.


Getting out of Arseno's room makes Jojo's feelings jumbled, the tightness of sadness becomes one but he's a typical person who can hide an expression, so no one knows it.


"Wanna go home?"asked Hendra who happened to pass by.


"Yes, where are you going?"jojo asked Hendra.


"You want to coffee" replied Hendra.


"Can I come?"ask Jojo


"Of course there is also Feri" Hendra said happily inviting Jojo to chat together.


The two walked side by side towards the cafeteria, until at the cafeteria they walked towards Feri who had been drinking coffee.


"You want to copy Jo too?"tanya Feri is astonished to see Jojo.


"Warm milk isn't there?"ask Jojo


"Some, I'll order ya" bidar Hendra and passed to the seller's place.


"Where's the face, it still hurts?"asked Hendra who had returned from ordering their drinks.


"It's normal" said Jojo casually.


"That's a great kid" Feri said with a thumbs up to Jojo.


"This is why you can't smoke?"jojo asked while staring at them in turn.


"Please" said Hendra.


Jojo took out his cigarette from inside his small backpack and started burning a bit of the tip.


"Yes Jo, especially you will be a woman later a lot of risks that will come" said Hendra.


"I only smoke when my mind is messed up" said Jojo, staring blankly.


Hearing this makes both of them silent, because they never know the problems of others, while their own problems they feel they are still less mature in taking a stand.


"What makes your mind mess up Jo?"asked Hendra attentively.


"If I tell you it won't be over in a few days" Jojo said with a chuckle.


"Basar" angrily Hendra looked at Jojo.


"Can I call you brother?"jojo asked with a serious look.


"Of course" said the two.


"Thank you" Jojo's heartfelt words.


The three were silent and only heard the sound of them sipping their drinks.


"Did Arseno have a lover?"jojo asked with a laugh.


"Do you like it?"tanya Ferries back.


"Yes, even I've loved it for a long time" Jojo said honestly.


"Why do you like it" asked Hendra seriously.


"I'm sure he'll be able to protect me" Jojo said calmly but they both looked at Jojo with many questions as they looked at Jojo's eyes that were radiating sadness, fear and trying to be strong.


"So far she hasn't had a boyfriend, and have you found out about Arseno's status?"ask Hendra again.


"Yes I know, she has a child, right?"jojo asked Arseno's two friends.


"Yes you're right and my advice is if you're having a hard time getting close to Arseno why don't you try to get close to her son" Feri said. Although he believes Arseno must have put his heart to Jojo, but he has not realized it.


"No" said Jojo firmly.


"Why?"ask them both astonished.


"Color if I've tried but failed, it means that it's a sign that I have to give up, right?"jojo said with a smile.


"We will always give any spirit it becomes your decision" Feri said wisely.


"Thank you" Jojo said sincerely.


"I don't think we're officially acquainted yet" Jojo said with a small oddity.


"My name is Jojo R, my mother died in an accident when I was 10 years old and I have no father and I am so grateful to be surrounded by people who are sincere towards me"jojo said with a smiling face but his eyes glazed over.


"Relax you still have two older brothers" Feri said as he pointed at himself and Hendra.


"Thank you for accepting me to be your sister" said Jojo, who wiped the wet corners of her eyes.


"Well, it doesn't feel like it's late" Jojo said, looking at his watch.


"I go home first yes, and don't forget to drink it at the pay" Jojo said with a sinless smile looking alternately at his two new sisters.


"Hais, you're the one" said Hendra annoyed.


"And it is the duty of a brother to treat his sister" Jojo said with a sad face.


"Yes-yes my dear sister, take it easy your brother will pay for it" said Hendra proudly.


"Well, his name is a good brother" said Jojo with a thumbs up.


"Yes, he's gone home!"expir Ferries.


"It will be too late in the afternoon until the cost" added Hendra.


"Bay my dear brothers" Jojo said, waving his hands to Feri and Hendra.


From a distance Arseno heard a conversation between Jojo and his two friends. Hearing that made his chest feel tight.


Arseno never thought, Jojo who is only a high school boy but he has carried a lot of the burden of life is very heavy and it is on his own.


"I will make you happy, in my way Jo" muttered softly Arseno looked at Jojo who was sitting on her back.


Really he did not mean to hurt Jojo's feelings, only he was confused to reveal his identity to Jojo who was young while he could already be said to be a grown man.
