Jonathan looked awkward when Mr. Liman asked him to sit in the front row accompanying Papi Hendri who tonight came not only as Jihan's parents but also as a guest of honor because he had become the biggest donor in High School Dharma Nation.
Some teachers who do not know about his status as the son-in-law of Papi Hendri, looking at Jonathan with a confused or envious face because the young teacher was only 3 years old teaching at Dharma Bangsa High School but had been given the opportunity to accompany the guest of honor by the school.
“Be careful no mosquitoes enter your mouth,” ledek Papi Hendri while laughing softly. “Gaby has been good at dancing since grade 4 SD.”
Jonathan's face was hot. It was fortunate that the light of the current lamp was made somewhat dim so that Papi could not see his face reddened in embarrassment. On stage, Gabriela was walking downhill . with a gurgling performance of Tor Tor dance with ulos fabric costume.
Jonathan was indeed amazed by the appearance of his little wife who looked very different. The girl who always had a way of upsetting him while teaching in class was now smiling sweetly staring at Papi Hendri.
“Eeh.. Yes Pi, it seems that Gaby is used to dancing,” said Jonathan in an awkward tone.
“Eth why since childhood, Gaby prefers to explore regional dance compared to modern dance. In the 7th grade, together with 4 friends, Gaby managed to make the name of the school because she won a provincial traditional dance competition. Unfortunately Gaby did not continue dancing in the 8th grade because her values had plummeted.”
“It looks like Gaby has a smart child and never had trouble taking lessons at school even without tutoring.”
“The problem of Mama Gina and Jihan was quite disturbing at that time, plus they kept Chelsea busy with household work that should be done by ART,”, Papi said while breathing heavily.
Jonathan smiled as he nodded and refocused himself on the stage as Papi gestured for Gabriela to return. The girl really fascinated Jonathan so hard to blink and speak.
Stop admiring him, Nathan, watch your heart fall in love with him, Jonathan's inner self.
Papi Hendri gave the loudest applause when Gabriela finished dancing. From the stage, the girl smiled happily because she could perform in front of Papi.
“Did Gaby trouble you during your stay there ?” papi whispered as Gabriela was back on stage.
“Not at all, Pi. Gaby is a diligent and responsible child about home affairs, even now has shifted my position in the heart of mama. Gaby has been like a biological child mama and I became a collector's child,” said Jonathan while laughing softly.
“Thank you, Nathan,” Papi clutching Nathan's right fingers.
“Thank you to your mom for accepting Anna's mom's request to make Gaby a part of your family. Sorry for making you decide on your girlfriend. Sorry for burdening your life with heavy responsibilities. It feels like Papi's heart is calmer if it should be called right now. Papi will not be embarrassed when he meets Anna's mom again because Gaby is already in the middle of the family who loves her.”
“Don't say that, Pi. Papi must have the spirit to continue for Gaby,” said Jonathan with a smile.
Don't baper Narhan, don't get carried away. This relationship is only temporary so there is no need to use the heart to live it
Jonathan kept reminding himself as his heart touched with Papi Hendri's sad face. Her in-laws look thinner than they were 2 months ago.
“One thing that makes Papi kangen is Gaby cuisine. Did she ever cook during her stay with you?”
“Almost every morning Gaby prepares breakfast as well as supplies for both of us.”
“Papi is also part,” said Papi while laughing slowly. “Although Jono did not say that the bag in the car was a deposit from Gaby, Papi knew that the food was the result of Gaby's cooking.”
Jonathan smiled, recalling with his foreboding following Gabriela. It was unexpected that the girl even came to her family home to deliver food for Papi.
“Don't be jealous if your wife is still considerate of Papi,” led Papi while laughing.
“You're ready to receive a lot of surprises from Gaby while staying with her.”
Jonathan smiled faintly as he nodded. Hoping for a surprise from Gabriela won't shake her feelings to survive without love.

“Papi !”
Papi Hendri who was taking food accompanied by Mr. Liman immediately turned his head.
Her daughter is back with her appearance without make up.
Gabriela nodded her head at Mr. Liman and without feeling awkward let Papi rub his shoulders.
“Titip my favorite daughter in 12th grade later, sir. Please be punished if you are naughty and lazy to learn,” said Papi while laughing slowly.
“There's his personal handler, sir, definitely safe.”
“Not that Mr Nathan has never taught in 12th grade, Sir ?” gabriela asked with a feeling of anxious expectation.
“If it never starts then Mr. Nathan will not learn. Besides, I'm sure that you will be a special encouragement for Mr. Nathan.”
“If that is the case, I will be calmer again because my daughter-in-law is directly watching Gaby,” said Papi Hendri with a happy laugh.
From a distance Jihan who had since noticed Papi Hendri and Gabriela clenched both hands at the side.
“Sabar Darling, the time will not be long. Let Cinderella enjoy her happy times first, you should be able to refrain so that your Papa does not change her mind,” advice Mama Gina who has since noticed her daughter's annoyance.
Gabriela leaves Papi and Pak Liman to join Mimi and her friends. From a distance, Jonathan unknowingly notices Gabriela's movements.
His mind and body could not keep pace. Her feelings strongly rejected Gabriela's charm while her eyes stopped staring at the girl.
“Awas fancied, sir,” ledek Mimi who knows already standing next to Jonathan, join in picking up pieces of fruit.
Jonathan smiled cynically as if Mimi's words were just a dime.
“Wait for sunrise in the west,” Jonathan said in a cynical tone.
“Be careful with what you say, there is a saying that love is usually from the eyes down to the heart and love can be present because it is ordinary,” led Mimi while giggling.
Jonathan harrumphed and walked away from Mimi. From a distance replace Gabriela who laughs at Jonathan. Not not to know that since on stage until now, his math teacher often stole the view.

Gabriela peeked out of Jenny's bedroom window at the sound of Nathan's engine. Hours 12.15.
They did not go home together because the party tonight is only devoted to all 12th grade students accompanied by several teachers.
Gabriela's eyes puffed up when she saw a woman hugging Jonathan as soon as the man reached the front of the gate.
Gabriela felt helpless because she did not hear the arrival of Maya who parked across the house. His heart had to go back to feeling the pain when he saw Jonathan hugging the woman back while patting her back. Although not for long, but for Gabriela Jonathan's attitude shows that her husband's ex-lover still has a place in his heart.
“Not sleeping?” jonathan asked as the two passed by in the kitchen.
Gabriela simply shook her head without even looking at Jonathan. Finishing her bottle, Gabriela intends to return to Jenny's room, but Jonathan unexpectedly restrains her arm.
“It turns out you have 2 personalities,” taunts Jonathan. “Gabriela who performed on stage is very different from dissident students who like to debate me in class.”
Gabriela sighed, Jonathan's words provoked her messy emotions.
“No need to bother I want to have 2 or a million personalities because it will not make you can love me and accept our marriage as destiny.”
Gabriela stomped her arm violently until Jonathan's grip slipped off. Without turning his head he left Jonathan shocked by Gabriela's attitude.
Jonathan's forehead creased towards Gabriela's back which moved away and went up to the 2nd floor.
“Basic ababil, his emotions are more sinister than a bullfighter,” Jonathan grumbled to himself.
