THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

46

"thank you, you've always been kind to me. "I said.

honestly I held back my tears.I would look even more stupid if I cried in front of him.

what should I thank him for what I gave him is more than this.

"Cathrine..give me time..." Jimmy tried to grab my hand.

I looked at Jimmy's warm hands and felt like I was first appreciated by a man.

The word 'We' what does it mean? it's not just our relationship....

I didn't realize, someone approached our table, the woman I knew. Stacy's!

"you're here, really.. Can I just talk to you?" Stacy looked at me.

Jimmy seemed to be unhappy with Stacy, but he returned to his sitting position, releasing my hand.

"you just talk, assume I don't exist." Jimmy answered Stacy.

"i'm talking to people. Don't interfere!" Stacy avenged Jimmy.

"alright, we're talking outside, but first please you're more polite talking to the man in front of me." I pointed at Jimmy.

"who is he? a sister? or don't don't he sugar your dady yeah.... " Stacy insulted Jimmy.

I was mad to hear Stacy insult Jimmy. He's a nice guy and not a sugar daddy.

it's true, this woman is less sane.

"he's my master, don't be kind..I'm now a personal assistant of him.I work not a hitchhiker and be a prankster.." I cover our relationship.

actually I wanted to answer Jimmy as my fiancee, but, we just got confused about the status of the relationship.

anyway, this is gonna lower me. She might believe a woman like me gets a guy like Jimmy.

Jimmy glared at me, he seemed annoyed I said so. I raised both of your eyebrows, coded Jimmy.

"your master? base not far yes your life, so assistant artist kacangan.now the same man it's clear you guys will definitely sleep together... " Stacy said while shaking her waist.

"sleeping together is okay - at least he does without me having to beg or coerce. should not begging and possessive.we do the same.no harm.. " I replied lightly.

stacy's hand clenched, apparently hot to hear my reply.

Jimmy even smiled faintly hearing me say so. It seemed like he was happy and agreed with my words.

"so, dear Miss Stacy.. Where are we going to talk? or please join us here.where we are still empty. "I shifted my chair a little.

"gw just want to say, please you never go back to Yofie's house. we already want to marry, I want to fail just because - because you.maybe I'm silly, I'm not, but I beg Cathrine...

because I can't talk to Yofie anymore... " Style said in half a whisper.

"ehem.... continue deposit money gw 3 months in the future how? can you turn back? goods I was also still there calik.gw wonder, why you should bother Stac. "I fold my hand.

The woman looked at me sharply. I think he wanted to do something to me. Yeah, I can feel that.

"Miss, can you sit down? We feel better talking here.... " Jimmy gave us a seat between us.

Stacy pulled the chair, she sat between us. His eyes did not stop looking at me.

I prefer to look out the window. Jimmy gave me the code on his feet.

"Good... Brother Stacy... I'm leaving Yofie's house.. I also hope, Yofie stops looking for me.... " I looked at Stacy.

His face changed immediately. He smiled at me immediately.

"Well, if you're going alone... I'm so grateful... So we can focus on marriage.... "

I nodded, actually I'm not guaranteeing this works. Yofie always looks for me first.

"Then I go, excuse me... I hope you admit what you said. About money lo, I returned the full deposit... Because I'm full to live in the house both the same Yofie .... "

I was shocked to hear that, apparently this woman was reckless. No, dare to chase a man first.

Stacy stood up and left us. I muttered by playing my teeth. I usually manage to do this to keep me from crying.

Jimmy looked at me questioningly. He knows why I answered that.

"Don't look at me like that... My mood is bad.... I want to go out and run.... But I don't know where to go...... I do have a taste in that man .. I realize, too, I can't possibly be the same..... " I muttered to myself.

"uhm... Where do you live? if you get out of Yofie's house, "ask Jimmy.

"well, maybe it's my destiny, I ended up in the apartment with you..... "

resigned, very resigned.I can not think will let alone how and where else..

I also don't want to be called a disturber of people's relationships.

"well.. finally come too.. well, I'll be ready..when do we get your things? now?" Jimmy enthusiastic.

The man in front of me sucks, I hate his attitude.he feels happy?

"are you happy and we're finally living together?" I asked in an unpleasant tone.

"sure. why not? or you pick on the streets.or maybe you'd rather that woman keep bothering you.

We walked out of the cafe. I chose to get in Jimmy's car.

Jimmy caught up with me and the car was on. He saw me looking at the side of the road.

"When I get back, we move Jim.... I don't want to be considered chasing that guy.... " I spoke while throwing away my sight.

"Hm... I'd actually rather you move in now.. I don't like you dealing with Yofie.... "

"Are you jealous?"

I'm silly asking Jimmy that. How could he be jealous of me.

"obvious. I can't and won't be with another man.... Moreover, you got to think of chasing another man. Unless you want to, I will leave you... " Answer Jimmy.

I don't really care what Jimmy says. It felt mixed in my mind and heart.

********

finally we went back to Jimmy's apartment, we were just as quiet, according to Jimmy I should have heard that he was jealous.

however, my reaction was even without a word, like the usual thing, not a word that contains many meanings.

I slammed my body into the sofa. It still feels mixed.

Jimmy came to give me some water.

"Drink.... "

I took it and drank it, "thank you." My answer.

"my life why gini? here and there, living with aunt Rose.I think I can save money boarding..It was made like a maid, I stayed back with Jessy." I looked blankly at the table.

I drank some more water in my hands, holding back my emotions with what had happened.

"i try to be independent by living boarding with Jessy. Whatever work I do, get money no matter how I receive. live in a joint venture even though I owe a lot...

trying to be an artist, failing too....

even I was considered to tease other people's men...

can't I just live quietly. "I'm talking again.

I glanced at it and took it, I tried to drink it.

it was bitter and hard in my throat but, I felt its bitterness almost the same as the one I passed.

"i can't give up Jimmy. There's still my sister I have to live with. I have to be able to get up. Right.... "

I leaned my head against Jimmy, and he greeted me with a hug.

"cathrine, you can still get better.Life won't stop until here....

remember..all that you've been through, leads us to meet Cathrine....."

I just nodded, lazy to say anything. I just wanted to fall asleep at that time.

my head was heavy too, I closed my eyes. Jimmy held on to this position, he held a sore on his wrist.

"Cathrine? you sleep....?" Jimmy said softly.

Jimmy was carrying, he took us to our bed. Jimmy stroked my hair and my face, he smiled at me.

Jimmy left me, he sat on his laptop, he saw an email coming in.

then he made a call to Heldy.

"bang, this is just a signature and seal, right..? abis there's this woman's signature. Is it over? we don't need to go to a civilian office, do we. "jimmy speaks slowly.

"right, you don't need to go to the office.Sign all the files and everything is done.You can stay here and you get married status by country.... "

"Bang Heldy, if this is kept secret, what can it be? the old id card he still uses. I don't want him to feel attached to me. Until the moment he arrives, he chooses himself..." Jimmy looked towards Cathrine.

"maybe, all the new files will be given. later keep it safe. then he will not realize if he is married to you... "

"well bang, tomorrow I go to the office bring this file. see you."

Jimmy closed the call, he printed the file in the email.His stay was only 2 days away.

inevitably Cathrine had to be signed to the dossier. Marriage that should not be done.

sneaky? is clear! Jimmy could not return to his current country.he was forced to do this, therefore he released Cathrine to go to college again.

as a thank you, because Cathrine has paid by giving a residence permit and the status of a valid marriage in the country.

luckily there is also Bang Heldy, he is smart to have many relationships. he can easily take care of, actually looking for women can.

it's just, Jimmy has been eyeing Cathrine. Since their first meeting, Jimmy can already feel this woman is right.

It's midnight, I feel like going to the bathroom. I saw Jimmy sleeping next to me.

I got up and walked to the bathroom. I stopped, saw a paper with writing there.

If you wake up, please sign your name.

Thanks

- Jimmy

I don't mind, I take Pena and sign all the papers.

I just read there's a name and another file of my data. I think this is my living agreement..

Ordinary as the story in general, the agreement is the end of the drama.

I was sleepy too, until the last file was suspicious for me.

There's a picture lined up between me and Jimmy.

Obviously, we never took pictures like this.

It's editan? what is this photo for...

I tried to read what was written there. I haven't finished reading, I can't hold back anymore.

I signed and went to the toilet. I feel so happy when I arrive on time.

When I was done with my business, I went straight back to sleep. I turned to face Jimmy.

"Thank you Jimmy....." Then I closed my eyes.

I woke up, heard Jimmy was cleaning up the files and preparing to leave.

"jimmy?" i'm calling.

Jimmy looked and walked towards me.

"morning Cathrine." she kissed my forehead.

my face turned red, why did he do this.

"will you leave? I even just opened my eyes . "I'm still lazy in bed

he then went back to prepare with the bag and the file on the table.I remember with the paper last night.

"Jimmy, last night I saw a file on the table. I signed it all, but there's something I mentioned... "

Jimmy flinched, he didn't think I'd notice. Jimmy didn't answer, he was silent and didn't turn around either.

"i wonder why there are such formal photos.where my ugly face is also photographed? what is a contract like a story2 movie and a novel?" i asked.

"yeah! aye! our contract is to stay." Jimmy answered quickly.

"owh. brati I also got a copy of it. there will be my signature there... "

"i'll give you later, I'm late.on the table there's money for you to go to the salon and eat.if it's less I'll send it to your account. I'll go see you first... " Jimmy quickly left me.

just this time I saw he was very hasty - gesa. usually he always casually walk and do anything.

I glanced at the side table. oh that's the money he meant. I sighed and went back to sleep.

lazy today, but it feels better than yesterday.it is true to cry until tired.and then wake up, then our feelings will be better.

kring.

I took it and saw who this morning was looking for me. Aunt Rose! what'd he want..

"hello, why auntie?" I said with a lazy tone.

"you are polite, answer good morning or how. papa ya you can not teach manners... "

"..... " I keep my mind. Why greet him politely.

"listen, we haven't seen each other in a long time.later dinner together at the restaurant with the aunt.. "

"i'm busy aunty, now I've been working. "I'm lazy to meet this evil woman.

"hey.hei.ante know you know, papa you do not have money for treatment. aunty wants to give an offer, who knows you can be a hero for the family right.... pretty good than the work of washing dishes... "

I wanted to close the call and curse her first. Hold Cath, papa never taught me like that to parents.

"well. aunty we met in teagarden aja. deket my office at 6. already aunty, I'm busy... "

I immediately closed the call. I just thought after this. what does he want from me?

there's no way a crazy woman's treasure gets good for no reason....
