The Ours In Another Story

52. Will Jovan help?

That night Jevan and Junius decide to come to Papa's house and ask him what happened. Goods the times Papa knew about this matter. It turns out that not only Papa, Mama also knows. Mama also mentioned if the stroke pain suffered by Papa is currently one of them because of shock to hear the news of the condition of Kusuma Group. Papa can only sit in his wheelchair. Papa's left side is weakened, and Papa is paralyzed now. Papa even cried for help to his two children who came to help take care of the company.

"Papa don't have to worry, we're going to solve this thing" Jevan said.

"Papa calm down, Iyus will not be silent see the rich conditions like this," added Junius.

"You two, you should talk to Jovan. Ask Jovan to help you too. With all the skills and experience that Jovan has, it will definitely help" Mama said.

"The problem is not that easy, Ma. Jovan is still traumatized by what happened in Singapore. He had planned to return to Indonesia, but Jovan did not want to continue to work again in the office" Jevan said.

"Jevan, only you can talk and talk to your twins. You both grew up in Mama's womb together. If your mom, dad, or sister can't tell you Jovando, but you always can. All your words were heard with him" said Mama, already crying.

"Ma, don't cry dong. Ok, Jevan will ask Jovan for help. Mama just calm down, Mama do not think strangely," said Jevan almost joined in crying to hear his mother's words. Her mother pleaded with her while crying. Not only Jevan but also Junius also saddened to hear the words of his mother.

That very night Jevan contacts Monika and slowly explains everything that happened. Monika said they had booked a ticket to return to Indonesia next week. While waiting for all their goods to be packed, Jovan also plans to invite Monika and the children to take a walk around Singapore before returning to Indonesia.

"What day are you coming back here exactly?" ask Jevan.

"Tuesday. Why Jev, is there a problem?" asked Monika who was suspicious of the tone of her brother-in-law's voice.

"The company's condition is weakening and it seems I'm the same Iyus needs lo and Jovan's help" Jevan said.

Monika fell silent. He didn't have the heart to say what he just heard to Jovan. The man is just about to explore his new life. Monika even saw for herself how she was trying to get up after slumping so deep.

I'll tell you later with Jovan and the kids. If the ticket problem is easy to change the schedule," said Monika.

"Don't be rash. These few days let me and Junius monitor first how the condition is while you help to talk to Jovan slowly. Me and Junius will need his help and maybe he will have to wear the Kusuma Group crown on his head. You just go home on schedule and meet me and Junius as soon as you get to Indonesia" Jevan said.

"Ok, I'll help you talk to your twin" replied Monika.

After her phone and Jevan are cut off, Monika approaches Jovan who is reading a fairy tale to the children in the room. The two tough knights were already almost asleep when Monika stepped inside. Jovan sat on the edge of Genta's bed while Tirta on the next bed listened as he hugged his roll. There are already many boxes here because tomorrow or the day after the expedition office will take their goods to be packed back to Indonesia.

Monika just stood in the doorway observing Jovan who was raising Genta's blanket and making sure Tirta was comfortable in her sleep. Jovan slowly stepped out of the room without forgetting to turn off the lights and close the door. Monika was two steps back when Jovan was closing the door, but immediately hugged her when the door to her son's room was closed.

"Tumben, kangen huh?" jovan asked as he wrapped his hands around the Monik's waist.

"Why Mother?"

"Please promise you won't be angry" Monika said as she offered her pinky.

"Yes promise," answered Jovan linking her pinkie to Monika's pinkie.

Monika let go of her embrace, then pulled her into the room. Inside Monika's room asks Jovan to sit opposite her on their bed. Monika took a breath first, making sure she was calm and she opened the conversation with her husband who looked confused by his wife's behavior.

"Mother why the hell? The story dong," said Jovan grabbed his wife's hands.

"Dad..., you know that Papa's sick?" ask Monika.

"Know. You were there too when Papa was rushed to the hospital."

"Papa is sick, not because of the problems of both of us Well, Papa is sick because Papa is too hard to force his body and mind to maintain the integrity of Kusuma Group," explained Monika.

"I mean Mama?"

"Jevan called earlier. He said there were more problems in the company while Papa was no longer able to intervene to deal with the existing problems. Papa forced his energy and eventually Papa fell ill. Papa fell in the bathroom because he did not concentrate. Papa's mind continues to drift and until now also Papa still often ngalamun think company," said Monika. Jovan's hand loosened, but soon Monika grasped it stronger.

"I know what you mean. But my answer will remain the same. Naw. I don't want to."

"But yeah..," said Monika cut off.

"Dad said, I don't want the same problem to happen twice. I've had enough of that. Dad no longer wants to. Especially with the condition of Kusuma Group which from the time of grandfather is still alive has become a struggle here and there. I would never want to drown myself again in such a dirty pit" Jovan said.

"Jovando, it's not a matter of power struggle or anything but it's only you who can."

"Jevan is there, I'm sure he can finish with Junius. I believe that my two brothers are no fools," said Jovan, who had gone to waste.

"Jovando, neither Jevan nor Junius his movements will be limited. They will only be able to be your supporters. Not leader. You're the oldest kid here. Whether you realize it or not is you who should be the shield for both of them. With all your skills and experience, it will be very helpful to solve this problem. Jov, you've been working in this field while they're not. Even if you don't want to go into that hole, do you have the heart to see your two brothers come in?" monika continues to try to persuade Jovan.

"No Mon. Not once still not. I don't want to sacrifice you to the kids anymore. If this is the end of the Kusuma Group let it be the end. Why do we try to revive an old and dying tree? Waste time. Cutting it down will be easier" said Jovan, who began to act tough.
