The Ours In Another Story

46. Papa is Sick

Jovan was sitting limp as soon as he knew the news of his father. Junius actually wondered why his eldest brother could come so quickly because no matter what and how fast it went, the distance between Singapore and Java was not that close to be reached in a short time. His astonishment grew even more when Jevan who came directly sent a punch to the cheek of his twin brother just like that.

“Mas why the hell?! What's up hey don't use violent dong. It's in the hospital. Conscious!” junius said he tried to break Jevan who tried to take a second blow while Jovan had no intention to fight back.

“Lo is crazy or you are crazy, huh?! I have hurt Monika until now you also make Papa sick. No brains, huh lo?!” jevan said he kept trying to beat up Jovan.

Good thing Mama came out of the ICU and helped divorce her twins, “Keep no y'all? Papa's sick and you're fighting gini-rich. You want to see Mama also sprawled, yes?!”

“Ma...,” Junius prefers to support the old body of Mama who almost fell because he felt his family was not okay.

“What's really going on? Mas, obviously the same Iyus dong,” said Junius trying to pry the problem.

“Nih. The brother you were proud of was no more than a coward. Monika will not leave the house if she is not this jerk,” Jevan said still with her emotions.

“That's mean Monik Ma'am is running away? Mas Jov clearly not just diem,” said Junius participated in attacking his brother who was only able to kneel without being able to lift his head.

Junius takes Jovando to the hospital cafeteria. He could not bear to see his elder brother's face pale and without such energy. Moreover, with the additional bruises on the tip of the lip of the gift of his twin makes Jovando look even more sad. To get to the cafeteria he still had to drag his feet. Junius had to lead her so that her brother would not fall if he suddenly fainted.

“Nih Mas, treated first it,” said Junius gave an ointment to treat Jovan's wounds.

“Still,” the answer is weak.

“Mas, what's the story really? Monika's mom ran away? Wh why? How can? Why did you?” ask Junius.

“I was wrong until Monik Ma'am left home. In my mind right now, it's just how I can find him. I'm afraid she's okay,” said Jovan almost crying.

“Udah Mas already, it was finished first. Later I help find Monik Ma'am,” said Junius made Jovan nod.

Elsewhere, Mama was still crying. Accompanied by the faithful Jevan by her side Mama kept crying. Mama can't bear to see her son can be that broken. Despite the mistakes she has made, Mama still loves her son. Mama couldn't see Jovan crumble without Monika.

“Jev, come on you persuade Monika. Only you can, Mama has not been able to see the household of Mama's children become rich gini. What else Papa until sick,” said Mama still continues to beg her middle child.

“Sorry Ma, not Jevan won't help. If it was Jevan or Junius who persuaded Monika would, but then Jovan would never learn. He must first realize his mistake. Once he understands what he has done Monika will also definitely return. I knew Monika would never leave Jovan regardless of her condition. So did Jovan who needed Monika's presence. Mama calm down, Mama take care of health, do not get sick. Jovan's business with Monika let me the same Junius who takes care Mama does not need to interfere. I don't want Mama to do anything either. Mama just focus on keeping Papa," Jevan said.

“Jevan, you go home there. Mama is worried about the condition of Monik and Rere at home,” said Mama.

“How much does Mama do?”

“Mama is not alone here. You two help Jovan,” said Mama.

“Iya Ma yes, Mama quiet dong. If so Jev meets Junius with Jojo first,” says Jevan.

“Yus, I want to talk. But you can be trusted, right?” ask Jevan during the trip.

“Why?”

“I know where Monika.” is

“What?! So you know where Mon is? How do you not talk to Mas Jov?” Junius.

“Monika left not because she ran away. He just wanted to calm down, and give Jojo a chance to think. His mistake was fatal Yus, he had been told many times Monika that his co-worker in Singapore had bad intentions. Several times Jovan was framed into nightclubs, even once played by women there night,” said Jevan.

“Astagfirullah, Mas Jov really can do that?”

“Monika has long asked Jovan to go back to Indonesia. He accepts that Jovan has to start from scratch again. He is not at home with Jovan there, but his name is Jovando from childhood is ambitious about education and career so it is still mengeyel and things happen like now,” explained Jevan.

“So Monik Mbak actually did not run away but only nginep at Mama's house?” asked Junius who realized which way they were going now.

“Yapc. You tell Lia too let her not be surprised. But, I'm asking you that Lia doesn't interfere with Jovan and Monika's problems. Let them both settle their own affairs,” Jevan said.

Monika, Rere, and Nafiza were chatting and playing together on the porch of the house. But as soon as Jevan heard the sound of the car, Monika went straight into the house. Afraid that Jevan will be followed by Jovan behind him.  Only Rere and Nafiza welcomed Jevan and Junius while Monika was already inside.

“Mas, really Jovan in Indonesia?” ask Rere to Jevan.

“Yes, it was in the hospital. I just drove back to Monika's parents' house because the children were there,” said Jevan who was holding Nafiza.

“Ya Allah..,” says Rere.

“Mbak Monika where is Mbak?” ask Junius to Rere.

“Inside,” Reply Rere.

Junius steps in and finds Monika in her room on the 2nd floor. Junius asked his sister-in-law to come downstairs and meet him.

“Mon, here. There is no Jovan. You eat first, bought bakmi jawa same Iyus earlier,” said Jevan.

“Not really exist?” ask Monika.

“No Mon, here to eat first,” said Rere.

“Tante Monika let's eat together,” invite Nafiza to make Monika nod then want to be invited down.
