The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

Wounds and Revenge

Jihan can no longer refuse Mami Gina's request telling her to go home. Ivana had told him everything and before leaving the group, Mr. Anjas had also advised Jihan to stop hurting Gaby.

Plaque !

Without speaking, Mami Gina slapped her eldest daughter as Jihan approached her in the dining room.

“Have Mama told you many times to stop bothering Gaby until the home transfer process is complete !”

”I don't bother him, Mi, just teaching him to be an honest person about who he is and his marriage to Mr. Nathan. All the photos circulating are reality, not fabricated or deliberately made to defamate it.”

“It's none of your business to make him an honest man or anything. Don't say suddenly you want to admit it as a sister.” Jihan immediately grumbled in annoyance.

“Until anytime she will never be my sister !” hatch Jihan with a reddened face in anger.

“Then don't mind Gaby's life anymore and assume you don't know each other until it's time she hands over this house to Mama.”

“Only for the sake of a house, Mama considers her sudden marriage nothing ? We both know why she married Mr. Nathan before Papi died. She doesn't want Mami, me and Lisa to be a part of her life again!”

“ENOUGH ! Stop pretending you didn't know you were born because of Mami and Papi's affair. Don't pretend not to feel that Papi doesn't really love us, especially Mami. What Papi did only as his responsibility as a father to you, the rest of Papi's life is filled with regret and guilt.”

Mami Gina cupped her face while crying as she pleased at the dinner table. Jihan was fixated because Mama Gina rarely told me about her married life.

“Mami.”

Jihan approached and touched Mami's shoulder and pulled the chair right next to her.

“Do not until you live life like Papi who is pursued by guilt and regret Mami thinks by venting it on Gaby, all the disappointment and pain in Mami's heart will be lost or at least can be treated, but in fact Mami is getting sick because until the end of her life Papi survives with his love for Gaby and Aunt Anna until marrying Gaby to Jonathan without telling Mami beforehand.”

“That's why Mami should show..”.

“Quite Mami said, Ji. Learn from Mami's mistakes, don't let your heart be filled with resentment again because those feelings will only make you suffer.”

Jihan was silent for a moment, her heart could not accept Mami's request but Mami's expression just now disturbed her little heart.

“As Mami loses Papi's love, Mami sets a new trap until Lisa becomes pregnant. Mami's feelings filled with anger, envy and hate just want to try to make Aunt Anna's heart broken by deliberately telling her that Papi again has a child with Mami.

Mami succeeded but never expected that the destruction of Aunt Anna actually made Papi further away and left Mami even though physically Papi was near Mami but his heart was never open to forgive Mami moreover love.”

Mami Gina grabbed the tissue and wiped her tears that kept flowing.

“Harta can be found, Ji after all what Gaby has belongs to her maternal family. If your life is destroyed, even if you manage to get a lot of money, your life is not necessarily happy and can recover. Trust me this time to Mommy, Ji.”

Jihan just kept quiet and let out a long breath.

“Jo, you are sure that the feelings for your wife are only pity not love?” maya asks as she gets into Jonathan's car, which picks her up at the office.

“Come in directly ask so?” Joanthan frowned while turning on the car engine.

“No idea, suddenly fitting down the elevator I just thought. Rather than being stored in the heart, I better ask the person directly.”

“We talk about it later. Now I want to take you to dinner at a special place because after I think about it during our courtship, I rarely invite you to eat in a place that suits your taste. I'm sorry.”

“Jo, it feels strange to see you suddenly like this,” Maya changed her sitting position leaning on the door and observing Jonathan from the side.

“Why ?”

“Yang then your words so firmly say that you already love your wife and ask me to forget you, then now..”.

“Slightly,” murmured Maya.

“I will prove that my intention was earnest but when I parted ways with Gaby I was no longer the teacher or CEO I am today. I will be an unemployed man who will drive and pick you up with my old motorbike or car.”

“Jo, that's not what makes me doubt. I won't let you be unemployed because I'll force Daddy to hire you in the company.”

“And I will try to be a good worker, Miss Maya,” led Jonathan while chuckling.

“Don't sneak !” suhut Maya while blushing.

Fifteen minutes later, Jonathan's car enters the restaurant's parking area which leaves Maya instantly dumbfounded.

“Jo, why are we here ?”

“This is Maya's restaurant, yes we want to eat. Why ? You're afraid I can't afford ?”

“Not so, Jo,” Maya instantly shakes her head. “You don't have to take me to a place this expensive to prove that you really want to come back to me.”

Jonathan laughed, opened his seatbelt and opened the door.

“Let's just say I'd like to treat you to my first salary as a very special person. So don't reject it, all the money I spend is purely from my salary, not company money.”

Maya blushes and rushes off her belt and exits the car because Jonathan has already walked to the entrance of the restaurant.

Maya again made dumbfounded when the waiter drove them into the VIP room and in it had prepared a table for 2 people with a romantic order that immediately made Maya's heart soar.

“I've ordered your favorite food, so just enjoy what I've prepared today. You like ?”

“Likes, Jo. Really I didn't expect you to prepare all this for me ?”

“Still don't trust me yet?” Maya shakes.

“I believe, Jo and I will wait until you can untie your marriage. About work don't worry, soon I'll talk to Daddy.”

“It doesn't feel good if you deliver it to your Daddy. Can I meet him in person to apologize first before declaring my sincerity to come back to you?”

“Can, Jo. Daddy will be happy that you took responsibility for your mistake, but please give me time.”

“No problem.”

“To be honest I am still a little afraid that your feelings for me are only for a moment because you are currently having a lot of problems with your wife's company,” Maya said in a soft voice.

Jonathan just laughed and let the servants present his order.

“Eat first.” Jonathan thrusts a piece of steak in front of Maya.

“Jo,” Maya's face blushed again but her mouth was open as well.

Jonathan smiled to see Maya's face blushed again like a teenager who had just fallen in love. Never before has Maya responded to Jonathan's attitude as they are now when they are still dating.

“Enak ?” Maya nodded shyly.

“Mas Nathan !”

The two turned their heads as the shriek appeared at the door of the VIP room. Gaby stood up with a reddened face and eyes staring at the two filled with wounds.
