The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

Good and Bad

Five days passed and Gaby could only swallow her own disappointment. There is no sign Jonathan will tell of his encounter with Maya until he has to lie to Gaby.

Gaby is disappointed because the man who has filled the space of his heart still does not want to open up when it comes to the problem of his former lover.

Tomorrow is the first turn of the year night for Gaby without her family, but she is happy because there is a mama Hani and Jenny who will arrive in Jakarta this afternoon.

Gaby walked towards the supermarket from the direction of the motor park. Jonathan was still working until finally he decided to shop for his own ingredients for dinner at home welcoming the new year.

“Sorry, Sorry Sir.” Gaby cupped his hands together, begging the middle-aged man he hit for focusing too much on the phone.

“Sorry, Sir,”’tag Gaby back while nodding her head at a glance.

Gaby looked up in the face with the middle-aged man looking at her with a frown.

“Anna,” hiss the man.

Now Gaby was furrowing her brows, looking at the figure of the middle-aged man in front of her with a confused face.

“My name is Gabriela, Sir. Anna is my mother's name but she is dead.”

“Can we talk for a minute ?” ask the man with a more friendly face.

“I want to shop inside, do you want to wait ?”

“Harry, just call Om Harry.” The man smiled as he extended his hand.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

Gaby did not answer immediately, her face looked hesitant. He glanced at Om Harry and watched him closely.

“I am not a sugar daddy looking for prey,”, said Om Harry with a laugh. “I just want to know his daughter Anna, my best friend. Your face is like a betel in two.”

Finally Gaby nodded and followed Om Harry's step towards the famous cafe that is still in the supermarket area.

Adam took part but he didn't sit at a table with his boss and Gabriela.

”Om know mami from where?”

“Om used to work at your op-owned company and know your mom very well, since Anna was still in Junior High School.”

“Mami has long since died.”

“Om know. You may have forgotten that Om came to mourn when Anna died and you were very young. If your face does not resemble Anna, maybe Om will not recognize you who are now this big.”

“Continue Now Om want to ask what ?” Harry laughed at Gaby's watchful attitude.

“Om hear you are married when it looks like you are still in school, is the news true ? If true, it is a pity that Hendri did not invite Om even though our relationship is quite close.”

“I am already married with a choice of mami and because my status is still a school student, my marriage is still confidential.”

“Why are you in a hurry to get married ? Does this all have something to do with the company Om Jerry ?”

“Om know well with opa also ?” asked Gaby with a frown.

“So I said that I once worked at the Anna family-owned company,” said Om Harry while laughing again let alone seeing the expression of Gaby's funny face was nodding..

“Mami does not want the company to fall into the hands of the second wife of papi or his children, that's why I was asked to marry a man of choice mami who is now my legal guardian.”

“So Hendri did not manage to master the company and Gina is also no longer your guardian ?”

“Om also know with Aunt Gina?” gaby asked as he frowned again. Harry laughed softly as an answer.

“Can Om ask for your mobile number ? Who knows someday we will meet and talk again more than just drinking coffee.”

“What Om know really well with mami ?”

“Ya even before Hendri knew her.”

“Om has to go again, Gaby. Nice to meet you, his daughter Anna.”

Harry wakes up, followed by Gaby and Adam sitting at the other table. His hands stretched out to shake hands with Gaby with a smile on his face.

“Please contact Om at any time, especially if you want to ask about the company. Although it only works less than 5 years, but Om is quite well acquainted with the legacy company opamu.”

Gaby nodded and Om Harry patted Gaby on the shoulder outside the cafe.

“Can Om hug you like you used to do Om so often when we met ?”

Harry hugged Gaby as the girl nodded. His hand again patted Gaby's back affectionately.

“Remember, never hesitate to contact Omkalau if you are in trouble.” Gaby nodded back.

Gaby was still flinching near the cafe looking at the backs of Om Harry and his assistant who eventually disappeared into the car.

There was a slight sense of relief in Gaby's heart, inexplicably Om Harry's remarks made her even more optimistic to help Jonathan overcome the problems the estate was facing.

”Stop all activities in the plantation but do not give the opportunity to the farmers around to sell their crops to Yuanyang. Let's see the progress again,” Sir Harry ordered Adam as their car slowly left the parking lot.

“Good Sir,” said Adam who immediately pulled out his phone.

“Jo, please consider my request. Daddy's willing to put a stop to the mess at the estate and the turn of the year night at home is a good opportunity to show your regrets. Who knows your arrival makes Daddy immediately pull all his people from your plantation,” pinta Maya with a pleading face.

The two meet again at Maya's request, but this time don't bring Gaby to make the girl misunderstand again.

“So there was an Om Harry intruder on our estate ?”

“Nggg. They have to get inside the estate to make a mess, right?” jay with a little nervous.

“How many people were placed to infiltrate the plantation ?” lick Jonathan with a slightly raised voice.

Maya took a deep breath and her face instantly turned full of theatrics.

“I don't know for sure, Jo. I dare not ask the details, but at least Daddy said he would consider it for me.”

“I didn't forget my promise, Maya, but I'm sorry I can't come to see your family tomorrow night. I promised I'd spend the night of the turn of the year with my family.”

“What is your wife that requires her ? I'm sure that he's more and more ambitious to manage your life after successfully getting you to marry him and now take care of his family's company,” Maya grumbled with an annoyed face, just like a jealous lover with another woman.

“Gaby has never arranged my life and demanded anything as a wife. Lately I have always been busy with work affairs that are very time consuming to pay less attention to them.”

“But your arrival tomorrow is something that matters not only to yourself but especially to your wife's company.”

“I'm sure that my arrival tomorrow is not the right time to talk about work with your Daddy. If you really want to help, please give me a chance to meet Om Harry at the office. I tried it a few times when he met outside but always failed and was rejected.”

“But what you have to meet is not only Daddy but also Mommy. You forget that it was Mommy who felt very angry and disappointed in you. You forget how Mommy defended you so much when I was in the hospital ? Mommy even promised to make Daddy accept you as his future son-in-law and you don't deny it, Jo.”

“I did not forget, Maya and for all that I can only say sorry including also with your request today. I'm sorry Maya, I can't and my gut feeling is that tomorrow isn't the right time.”

Jonathan wakes up feeling that this conversation will only end with a two-interest fight.

“I go home first. Thank you for all your good intentions to help me.”

“Jo,” watered Maya with sad face.

“I have to accompany my wife shopping today, Maya. I pamit.”

Maya growls as she clenches both of her hands as Jonathan passes by, leaving him alone in the cafe.

Instead of being disappointed, Maya instead felt the emotions in her heart increasingly wanting to explode. How dare Jonathan negotiate with him and now choose to go home for his wife.

“Don't expect your love to be deep enough to overcome all this. If you can't falter then it's your wife that I'm going to make leave you,” Maya growls at herself.
