The Lost Pearl
#44
when on the way to deliver the Goddess home, suddenly Dewi asked Jo to stop her car on the side of the road.
"why ?"
ask Jo.
"i'll buy you a drink first.."
the Goddess opened the car door.
"who told you to come out..??"
jo asked and pulled back the door.
"yeah, who wants to buy.."
"sir, please buy me a drink there, yes, here's the money.."
jo said to the driver.
the driver got out of the car and bought the order his master had asked for.
the driver returned with a drink in his hand.
they continued their journey to the house of the Goddess.
arriving at the Dewi's house, Jo also came down.
Dewi opened the door of her house without pressing the bell first, her mother goddess who was in the middle room was surprised when she saw her son came without telling him his return first.
"salamaic,..."
said the Goddess when entering the house.
"waalaikumsalam, honey, ko did not say - mamah the hell you go home now.."
answered the goddess' mother and approached the child and saw Jo carrying the Goddess's suitcase behind her.
"son Jo.."
"lady..."
jo answered while kissing the back of the goddess's mother's hand.
"you new Dateng, surely from earlier not breakfast yes.."
"beluuum, Goddess laper maaaah.."
answer the spoiled Goddess.
"let's go, eat first.let's go Jo, let's eat.."
"yes, Mom.."
jo replied without hesitation.
they also went to the dining table, eating together even though basically his mother Dewi just accompanied and did not eat.
at the dinner table, Dewi told me about her vacation there, sometimes they laughed together and showed me some photos they took.
when Ara and Ian arrive at her house, they enter because Ara's parents are still in Japan.
they brought their suitcases in and cleaned up their belongings.
choose dirty clothes and put them in a basket of dirty clothes.
ara took it all out by"nya and made it scattered on the floor carpet of his room then put the souvenirs they brought into the paper bag that had been prepared before, although feeling a little tired, but felt a little tired, Ara remained eager to distribute his gifts.
Ian who saw Ara was very enthusiastic also helped clean up and pack other items.
because of the many souvenirs they brought, making Ara a little tired and sleepy.Ara was unconsciously asleep on the edge of her mattress.
ian who had just entered his room again after previously going out to get drinking water, saw his wife fall asleep immediately lifted him up and moved him to the bed and covered him.
finally Ian finished Ara's unfinished work earlier.
after feeling long enough to be at the house of the Goddess, Jo finally said goodbye to go home.
"it looks like Jo has to go home, Mom, it's noon too. The goddess must also rest.."
"yes, be careful on the road yes, and thank you for taking care and delivering the Goddess home healthy and safe.."
"it's my duty ma'am, I promised my mother before.."
jo replied smilingly then kissed the back of his mother's hand Goddess and said goodbye.
"be careful on your way.."
the Goddess smiled. Jo also returned his smile with a smile that was no less sweet.
after Jo came home, the goddess went into her room with the intention to rest, but she remembered, he had to pack the souvenirs he bought for him to share with his relatives and friends who were in the office.
The goddess also with a little forcing herself began to pack her souvenirs.
mother Goddess also entered the room of the Goddess because she was curious about one strange thing that her mother saw earlier when accompanying the Goddess and Jo eat.
"what else, dear ?"
"eh mah, the Goddess again finished by mah.."
"your help can..?"
"thank you mah.."
the Goddess replied with a smile.
while helping Dewi pack her souvenirs, her mother began to ask her something that made her curious since.
"how's Jo..?"
"do you mean mamah ?"
"have you made the same commitment, Jo ?"
The goddess who heard her mother's words immediately looked at her mother with a difficult look.
"why did you say that ?"
"you know dear, you can understand your differences from the time you will leave and you go home, you can feel the difference dear.."
The goddess was ashamed of her mother's words.
"honey, mamah will not prevent you from making a commitment to someone, but mamah wants you to be able to keep your commitment in earnest.."
"thank you, ma'am.."
the goddess hugged her mother.
they also continue their activities of packing souvenirs.
The Goddess felt lucky to have a mother who was very understanding and could understand the feelings of her child.
The goddess never kept a little secret from her mother because it was from a long time ago she was taught to be open to parents about any problems or feelings she felt.
Ara who had woken up from her sleep, then looked at the table beside her bed filled with gift bags that she had not finished.
"what's Ian doing that ?"
murmured Ara inwardly.then Ian appeared from the bathroom door.
"just woke up.."
"mm, you're the one who fixed all this..?"
"you think ?"
asked back, Ara got up from her bed and hugged Ian.
"thank you.."
"same-same.."
ian answered while stroking Ara's hair.
Ara then looked at the contents of the gift bag and gave the name to each bag.
when she finished, Ara went to the bathroom to clean her body.
during the day, Ian and Ara choose to order food through delivery messages, because they still feel tired if they have to drive to find food.
jo has been at his house ever since, give a suitcase containing souvenirs that he bought for his workers who are at home so they can choose for themselves which items they like.
and he chose to rest in his room without having to think about having to share it himself.
Jo who felt a little tired also chose to immediately rest his body on his soft mattress.
many memories that cross Jo's mind while lying looking at the ceiling of his room.
he smiled once in a while when he remembered it.
he also saw the photos on his phone, when there are photos of himself and Dewi, without thinking long, Jo immediately made the wallpaper of his phone screen.
until finally Jo fell asleep with the phone still in his hand.
