The Ours In Another Story

17. My Struggle is Not in Vain

“Jovando…! What the hell is it?” monik asked half-screaming because Jovan had not answered his call.

“Huh..., what...,? Yes why?” ask Jovan.

“Daddy do not sleep maghrib-maghrib gini kesambet loh,” says Monik. Jovan just grinned then prefer to spend his iced tea then walk to the rail guardrail leaving Monika who now starts to catch up with him.

Not long after, a carriage traveling at full speed made its voice echo in all directions. Simultaneously Jovan shouted while staring at Monika, “MONIKA, I LOVE YOU....!!!”

Hearing that Monika instantly silenced Jovan's mouth with her hand. She was embarrassed, because at this time all the people who were there including a grandmother selling boiled beans cheered them both.

“Let everyone know that you're all I want Mon, you're all I love. Love you Mother,” said Jovan this time with a normal sound volume. The people around back cheered them after Jovan's sentence was finished. Monik is already shy half to death, but there is also one sense of happiness because this is the first time a Prasetya Jovando Kusuma dared to express love in public.

It felt like there were thousands of butterflies flying from his stomach the moment he heard Jovan's sentence just now. They have been together for almost 30 years. Already counted during that time also Monika save the taste on the figure of Prasetya Jovando Kusuma. The figure that was always there for her, the cold figure, did not say much, but was so considerate and could love her so warmly.

If you remember the first time Monika knew if she put her heart on Jovan it was amused too. He finally decided to express his feelings first. Although his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty, he was still trying to convey it. Jevan asked him to talk at the time. He also suggests Monika talk to Jovan because only she knows how Jovan is.

Mama Tiwi twins are not the type of twins that are compact and all the goods must be the same, but both have a very strong inner bond. If one is sick, the other will be sick too. So Monika had only been talking to Jevan and asking him. She did not dare to reveal it let alone she was female, she was ashamed. But thanks to Jevando's help he was finally able to pick up his happiness. Although he had to swallow the fact of being thought to be dating Jevan but the reality is not so.

In the middle of his college years Monika decided to talk and unexpectedly, he was actually well received. Although there are no romantic-romantic but not what is important Monika and Jovan dating now. The man was already his girlfriend but he still never said affectionate sentences like Jevan always did to Rere or like Junius to the girls he was targeting. Let alone the word "I Love You", the word "sad" is almost unheard of from his mouth.

Ever wondered to herself, did Jovan really like her? Or is he just too good to refuse? I don't know what Monika clearly doubts because of Jovando's attitude when he shouldn't be. He knows that Jovan is different from his two brothers but somehow it feels like Monika's heart also wants to feel like Rere and Lia are spoiled by their husband.

In the early years of marriage, Monika had to prank alone. He is in Indonesia while Jovan is now working in Singapore. Far away in the country people are alone while he has not been able to follow there because of his work. Fear and worry always came to his mind. Well naturally, Jovando was charismatic, handsome, kind, and his smile. Moreover, every time he smiled his eyes would turn into a crescent moon, very sweet. Monika was afraid that there would be a lot of teasing there.

Picking up his two children who began to enter the Pre-School, taking care of his household every day, completing his work as a writer, and still have to be the perfect figure to accompany Jovan whose career is increasingly soaring.

Monika, after all, was the child of her mother who was so careful and vigilant. Monika believes that the higher the tree, the wind will be stronger. Just so he doesn't fall for the beauty of the world. Arguably when compared with his two brothers Jovan is the most fortunate in terms of work. But it actually raises one alertness in the heart of Monika. He was afraid that the higher his position would be the more people who wanted to take him down.

Several names have been saved, he and Rafael also with one of Jovan's teams often investigate people who try to get close to Jovan. Because Monika also wants to be able to give advice to Jovan. He was afraid that Jovan would slip. Monica is very structured. All her life is neat according to the plan in her head so she does not want if her future plans are ruined because the people in interest of bringing down her husband win.

"Dad..," call Monika.

"Yes?"

"You are so bad that I cry" replied Monika as she shed tears.

"I'm sorry I made you cry. I realize I'm releasing you too much. I shouldn't have let you free and let you do it all by yourself. Daddy's got a lot wrong with Mommy, sorry yeah. I hope you'll forgive me" said Jovan, cupping Monika's cheeks while wiping her tears with her thumb.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I should know that you are not someone else. I was wrong to ask you to be like your brother. As a wife, I shouldn't be like this. Maafin Mommy yes Father, Mommy is much wrong with Father and children," said Monika held by Jovan followed by a smile.

"Mother is not wrong, it is natural for a wife to be loved by her husband. Not only Dad who asked in love, Mother also must ask. So I understand. I promise you, I'll improve and I'll give you affection more often" Jovan said.

"Thank you Dad, you have accepted Mother for who she is. Mother loves you with Daddy," said Monika.

"Father also love Mother," replied Jovan.
