The Temptation of the Former

Take Home

Jihan stepped into the house limply, she was confused exactly what the purpose of the vita invited her to meet then after the jihan was already in the green lake.

Vita was not there, instead a foreign man who had a voice similar to Johan who suddenly appeared and hugged him, he said, either coincidental or not but Jihan had a bad feeling about this.

"You've come home, Jihan" said Mela, who walked over to Jihan.

"Yes aunty, where's Nino?" ask while looking around the room.

"Nino is playing at his friend's place" said Mela.

"Have you eaten?" ask mela again.

"Not aunty, I will go to my room first yes," said Jihan smiled at Mela, then walked back to her room.

Arriving in the room he saw a calendar attached to the wall of his room, he had long marked the date on his calendar.

Their two-year anniversary.

Jihan opens the closet and picks up a box in which there is a Ring that Johan gave her last year on their first anniversary, Jihan closes the box again, he does not want to get late in the sadness.

After several days of trying to organize his heart, Johan returned to his usual activities even though he was still not excited, after finishing bathing he went downstairs to have lunch with his mother while his father worked.

"You're better Jo?" asked Maria who had already sat in the dining room chair, some days she was quite worried because Johan always locked himself in the room.

"Yes ma'am" replied Johan briefly and then sat down next to his mother.

"Bi .. please get Johan a plate," Maria asked her domestic assistant.

"This is the lady" said the housekeeper, then placed the plate on the table.

"Thank you," said Maria.

"Let's eat Jo, "pinta Maria.

"Yes ma'am" said Johan.

Maria put various kinds of dishes Johan likes, he deliberately told bi Ina to cook johan's favorite menu so that Johan eat with greed.

After finishing eating, Maria tried to talk to Johan, it has been a few days he was so curious about what happened to the beloved child, he wanted to ask but he doubted.

Finally he broke his intention and looked for the right time, and today it seemed like he could ask.

"Jo .. mother can ask you something," said Maria softly.

Johan turned his head to the side looking at his mother confused, "Well you ask what Mom?"

"You were a few days this mother noticed like a depressed person always locked himself in the room, not wanting to eat and not excited, actually you why, try the story to mother, try to tell her, I promise I won't tell anyone" said Maria.

Johan looked at his mother for a moment, there is no harm in telling everything to his mother, because his mother always kept her promise.

"Actually the last two years I've been dating a woman mom" Johan said.

"Dating!, Jo you know your father forbid it, right" said Maria.

"Yes I know mom but I love her mom, even to this day" Johan said.

"It's because of him that you're like this" said Maria.

"He cut off our relationship, and I don't know for sure what caused it" Johan said.

"Is it because she doesn't want to go to America?" ask Maria.

"It's not so mom, I just don't want to be away from her" Johan said.

"Mother understands the feelings of your age child is still very unstable Jo .. breakup is common, your journey is still long, do not because your breakup so weak begin, Jo, the boy has to be tough, you're passionate" Maria said.

"Yes ma'am, thank you" said Johan.

"Excuse me madam, there is a lady vita in front looking for den johan," said bi Ina.

Johan got up from his seat and walked towards the terrace.

"Why are you here?" johan asked who was standing in the doorway.

"We have to talk Jo .. This is about jihan, you must be surprised by what I will say," said Vita.

"Alright, we'll talk in the back garden .. come on," Johan said and then stepped in followed by Vita.

Arriving at the park behind Johan and vita sitting side by side in the long chair in the park.

"Tell me what you want to say, don't make me curious" Johan turned to Vita.

"Well, I don't know where to start, I don't believe it either but you have to look at this Jo" Vita said, handing Johan a large envelope.

"What's this?" johan asked and took the envelope out of Vita's hand.

"Open it up, you can see for yourself" said Vita.

Johan slowly opened the large envelope and took the contents of a photo, he rounded his eyes to see the photos.

"Where did you get this photo!" Johan.

"I myself caught Jo .. I didn't expect it either but that's what happened. It's worth it she wants to break up with you Jo, it turns out she has another guy behind you, whereas I guess she's a good girl, it turns out I was wrong, you're patient ya jo" vita pretends to empathize.

Johan did not respond to the words vita, he moved from his seat and immediately walked into the house, Vita just smiled cynically at the departure of Johan.

Johan goes into his room to retrieve the keys to the motorcycle, and the box containing the necklace for Jihan, then goes straight away.

"Jo, where are you going?" ask Maria.

"I want to go out for a while ma'am" said Johan who kept stepping out.

Johan propelled his motor at full speed, his eyes reddened with heartache raging in his chest.

Johan did not expect jihan could do that, cuddling with other men, it seemed as if it could not be lost from his memory.

Johan parked his motorcycle at the bus stop where he used to pick up Jihan, he took his cell phone in his pants pocket. He tries to contact Jihan, once twice without a response, and the third time Jihan picks up the phone from Johan.

"Hallo?"

"I'm at a regular bus stop .. Come here" Johan said, ending the call.

After a while of waiting, finally jihan appeared with a breath that was still irregular as he ran towards kamari.

"Sister Jo," said Jihan.

"I thought you just needed some time on your own and I waited for that, but it turns out you were playing behind my back" Johan said, holding back his anger.

"What does jo mean?" jihan asked confusedly.

Johan took the photos inside the envelope and pointed them to the face of the jehan, "Why do you have to pretend again while I already have the proof," johan said with teary eyes.

Jihan rounded her eyes in disbelief, the photo was a picture of her, while she was in the park and there was a foreign man who suddenly came to hug her, Jihan grabbed the photos from Johan's hand.

"So I can explain, I did meet this guy at the lake, but I didn't know him, I thought it was jo's brother who was p-"

"Enough Jihan!!" yell johan until Jihan doesn't continue.

"I'm sick of it, and with your theatrics!. .. It turns out that these two years, it's all a lie!" johan said as she shouted out all her heart.

Jihan could no longer hold back her tears, she cried in front of Johan, "Don't listen to me first."

"No, I don't want to hear anything from you, I hate you, I hate it!" johan then threw the small box containing the necklace to Jihan until it was destroyed.

Johan rides his motorcycle, leaving his own jehan at the stop, Jehan cries looking at Johan's departure, he sees a necklace lying on the ground with JJ's initials, Jihan crouches down to pick up the necklace.

He held the necklace back in his hand. "Why brother jo didn't give me a chance to explain, it's all not true, not true brother!" cry out Jihan while sobbing.
