THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

44

"Jimmys... Have you ever lived with another woman? Besides me... " I asked.

Stupid question in my opinion. Because what? It shows I'm starting to get possessive.

"Over now, about 5 years ago...." Jimmy answered briefly.

"Is she pretty? Um.. I mean, the continuation of your relationship how.... " I showed my curiosity by getting closer to Jimmy.

Jimmy glanced at me, "don't take it, if you want to get here. We're hugging."

Jimmy stretched out both his hands. As if preparing me to fall into his arms.

"Damn.... I was just asking... " My reaction is people say pouty or muzzle.

"You're funny when you pout. Gemes... " Jimmy even teased me more.

"I replied ajaaa...! " I turned my back on Jimmy.

"How do I tell you? What if I see your shoulder? Ahhe... I see, this is your bait for sure... You want to ask me to hug... " Jimmy said in a soft voice.

I immediately turned my back, I glared at Jimmy.

But...

Jimmy's hand grabbed my chin and pulled my face.

He kissed me quickly, he let go of my face as well.

"Don't talk about massalu... But, if you want to know, someday I'll tell you all...... " Say Jimmy warmly.

"...... " I kept quiet, not bothering about what Jimmy was doing.

"Right now, there's only you in my apartment. My mass lady, she doesn't live here. I never even took her to my private flat..... " Jimmy caressed my cheek.

It was nice and I started smiling. Her warm hands touched my face. It made me fall into his heart.

"You too will meet. He's been to a different world. So don't be afraid I'm leaving you for that woman.... " Said Jimmy.

"Why do you think I'm afraid of losing you?" I asked lirih.

Jimmy kissed me on the forehead, I felt happy. There are other people who treat me well.

"I can feel it Cathrine... Do not be afraid of people's judgment. Who lives you alone... "

We hugged, I put my head on his chest. True said people, that the man's chest is field and large.

I can feel the moment, it's warm and there's a heartbeat. Yeah, I can hear.

The rhythm is irregular, the same as when I was with Jimmy. Each with him my heart also rhymed irregularly.

"Cathrine, hair... Start growing the curls... " Said Jimmy.

I immediately took off his embrace. I backed away, then I covered my hair that was starting to grow.

"Your hair is curly... All this time there's a straight, you straighten with a tool?" Jimmy said while pointing at my hair.

"actually anyway..... No, I'm going to the salon..... But, because my money is gone and the money you gave is gone... I haven't been to a salon or bought a new hair dipper..... " I answered with shame.

"Uhm... How long do you need to go to the salon to straighten?"

"About 3/4 hours maybe.. Because my curly hair is a bit long... " I felt my hair become curls.

My hair is starting to come out. Right almost 7 months I straightened again.

Last time I was going to town. I had to break up my piggy bank so I could appear neater.

"Then you go to the salon on Monday... " Said Jimmy.

"Why should I wait for Monday? Tomorrow is sunday... Can kan... Uh, but which salon is here I don't have a salon subscription... " I said while drinking my sparkling.

"Below there are shops and salons. You could try. Or you go to the mall.. There are many famous salons... I've never tried, but every time I pass by is always crowded and many are waiting for the queue...

Tomorrow, don't dong. I'm on holiday, we can walk first.that time is precious Cathrine..." Jimmy's upset.

I thought for a moment, women's hair care is expensive. Why did he volunteer to do it.

"I'd better try under first. If the mall is expensive and there is no guarantee with the results... Well, Monday I'll try.... "

Jimmy took his seat near me.

"I'm leaving earlier than usual. Because it's jammed out of here.. " Said Jimmy.

"What time is it?"

"At 6am maybe, if you didn't make me tired the night before... " Jimmy teases.

"Hmmm..... " I rolled both my eyeballs.

He was upset because he always asked me to serve him. But I'm also happy that I'm with him..

He gives me comfort. It seemed, I was starting to think about moving in and living with him.

"Jimmy, you said I could go home. Exactly when? I need to book a train ticket or travel ahead of time." I changed the subject.

"Uhm, briefly.... " He opened the tablet on the table.

I don't know, it's just a calendar with a language I don't understand. Forms between chinese, korean or Japanese.

If it's in English I can still see.

"Wednesday, you can go home on Friday.... " Jimmy answered.

"Eh, for a second why are you saying when I should come back here again." I answered annoyed.

"Do you need money?" Jimmy's tone was flat.

"........" I shut up and pouted again. Right too, the stall if it's open I can work again.

I took my phone, and then I saw what the balance was on my account.

There are still about 5 million. I count a little with my return ticket.

I think it's enough, to buy a brother and a mother papa needs while there I think enough.

"Calm down, I'll buy you a ticket. This weekend I will pay you so you have money to buy papa's medicine... " Said Jimmy.

"How can you pay me ? You said I'm not a paid woman... "

"I realize you haven't worked, and I promised you. If you come and accompany.. I'll pay you, even if you don't serve me in bed..."

I looked at Jimmy blankly. I still don't understand what he means.

"I still know Jim...." I shook my head.

"I just feel grateful, you accompany me. It's not about what you do. But, more to the matter of comfort that you gave Cathrine..... "

I didn't expect my tears to come out. In a city like this, there are still good people like Jimmy.

"Then from that, if you want to stay here with me.. You can continue your school and learn a lot. Take as many courses as you want.... One day I will have to go back to my country...

You can settle with yourself.... "

Jimmy hugged me. He kissed my head, he gave me a warm hug.

I was also in his arms. Enjoying his touch on me, that night..

We're on the couch, either I can't tell the difference. Is this a sin or not.

What I feel, how to be treated well by Jimmy. Being the woman who was with him at the time.

He took me and took me away. He put my body on the bed.

We covered our bodies with blankets. A lot of questions in my mind. But I also don't want to throw or ruin the mood tonight.

Kringg... (Jimmy's phone rings).

He got up and took it off the table. He lifted up and walked out.

I've observed Jimmy prefers to talk on the porch. I guess this is something I don't need to know.

I broke down and changed the tv channel.

Hunting for a quiet while waiting for Jimmy.

I also took my old phone. There's 1 incoming message, I open.

Yofie: cathrine are you home. Let's eat with stacy not here.

Me: I'm not going home. I'm staying with Jimmy.

Yofie: how could it be? You're a girl, you're in another guy's house. Go home or pick up brother.

"Rese is a real person... " I cursed Yofie.

*********

"Where's bang? Can I spend my time here?" Jimmy talked to someone there.

"It's not Heldy if you can, tomorrow I will transfer to the file office. You just need a signature and copy id from the woman. I will take care of more later... "

"But I want everything to be legal. Especially in the eyes of the law, because if it reaches innocence and we have children. I don't want my son to go to my country... " Answer Jimmy.

"Ha haha.... The kid.? You think so far. But, it's good you think about that woman as well.... I guarantee it in the name of the law here. You and him will legally raise a state..."

"Well, set it up. Monday we meet, happy weekend buddy... " Said Jimmy.

He also disconnected the call. He looked at the sky and smiled. Actually he didn't want to lie to Cathrine.

But, how else. He needs a marriage certificate to stay here. Therefore, Jimmy must be able to force Cathrine to stay with him.

He saw Cathrine from the window. It appears that the woman is texting. With who?

Jimmy went inside, slowly approaching Cathrine. Then he peeked out from behind.

Cathrine's phone looks Yofie's name.! Jimmy got on the black, he took Cathrine's phone.

"Gw!!" Cathrine reflexes screaming.

"...... " Jimmy's face turned red. He was angry that Yofie still dared to approach Cathrine.

He also read their messages.

Me: brother, don't be silly. Brother, how are you doing with Stacy? Good night, I'm going to bed..

Yofie: adek different.. You brother pick me up, give me the address.. Brother take you home.

Jimmy narrowed his eyes, then he glanced at Cathrine.

The woman looked silent and said nothing.

Jimmy then types a reply to Yofie.

Dare you come, I call the police. This man is my husband.

Jimmy sent it and returned it to Cathrine.

I also read and glared.

"You're bales gini?" I asked.

"Empt wrong? That guy has other intentions with you. Once he can get you to sleep with you... You must be staying... " Answer Jimmy.

"What's the difference with you?" I asked back.

"Don't amnesia Cathrine... You came to me, asked for a job. Whatever you do, we do the same.. Even I gave you a reward without you asking.. Understood?"

I feel my heart hurt. But it's true, I kind of sold myself to Jimmy.

I never refused when he did that.

I am happy and enjoy what is happening.

"What's? Is there something wrong with my words?" Ask Jimmy.

"No... You're right, I asked. I gave myself up... "

It hurts my heart, I'm worthless in front of Yofie. I still dare to accept his invitation and message.

Embarrassing..

********

I opened my eyes, the distinctive smell of butter piercing my nose. Waking up the hungry nerves in my stomach.

I peeked, Jimmy's in the kitchen. Is she cooking something for me?

I got up and tidied up our blankets. Then I went into the bathroom.

Jimmy just looked at me without saying anything.

I closed the bathroom door and cleaned my face.

I cleaned my body, it was fresh and my heart felt better.

I really need to realize how we are.

I also came out of the bathroom. Covering my body with a white kimono.

I walked towards the pile of stuff - my Stuff.

I chose cloth shorts and a pink-white sweatshirt. I tidied myself up, and that was Jimmy's replacement cleaning up.

When I finished, I sat in the pantry. Where we used to eat. In front of me were 2 dishes with pancakes. There was hot tea beside him.

I found a little paper next to my plate. I took it and opened it.

Sorry, my words last night must have hurt your heart. Let's fix what's wrong. - Jimmy -

Jimmy came out a long time ago. He saw me reading his little letter.

He approached and sat down beside me. He looked at me, a questionable look.

"All right, let's eat.. " I folded the letter and put it next to me.

"Are you still angry?" Ask Jimmy.

"Make what? Life has been difficult, I don't want to add the unimportant things that I have to think about. After all, what you said was true... Let's eat and forget about last night... "

I try to forget and forgive. Because what is said is true.

I came to him, he did not ask.

I have to hold back my ego and my potent nature. I still need Jimmy, a lot of things I still have to get.

At least I could go to college if I was with Jimmy. I need to find an excuse for my family.

Anyway, they can't know about Jimmy.

"You want me to order a plane? For tomorrow wednesday?" Jimmy says.

"I'll take the train, so I can take the ojek from the station... " I answered while enjoying my breakfast.

Vanilla pancakes with maple syrup. Chrysanthemum flower tea, sweet fragrance makes me feel relaxed.

"Well, the e-ticket will be in your new phone email. Bring that phone, so I can send a message.. "

"Don't use the message as usual. Why use a messaging app on that phone?" I wonder what the difference is.

"I'm going to see my mom. He was on medication in Sing. So I need an internet connection for communication. Your old phone is not connected. So please, bring your new phone.... "

"Jimm.... " I put a fork on the edge of my plate.

"Yes?" Jimmy looked at.

I bit my lips, but I stopped it.

"I'd like to ask you, if you're going to Sing. Does it cost a lot? And can papa be brought there?"

I'm actually embarrassed to ask Jimmy to pay for everything. But I want my dad to heal.

"Hm... I don't know how severe your papa's disease is yet. If I want to consult with our family doctor, I also need to meet with your father as well. About their preparation and their situation....

Yet... Would you like to introduce me? " Jimmy asked back.

"I... I can introduce you as my boss.. L'm... As a personal assistant or secretary... " I answered with confidence.

"Buahaha...... Sure they believe it?" Jimmy laughed.

"doesn't make sense?"

"obviously! let's just say I'm a helpful angel.it definitely doesn't make any sense.but well, I'll think about it. It seems like a job reason can be. I'm sure they won't believe it."

"well Jimmy... "

I stood up and hugged Jimmy.

I wanted to hug him, happy and relieved, and he could have surgery with a better doctor...
