Wife Revenge Wasted

The meeting that should not

“Jharna, what is it?” kelvin asked as Jharna suddenly pulled the ladder into the house.

“I want to sleep Vin, tired.” Jharna's voice sounded trembling. He let go of Kelvin's hand and walked quickly to the second floor.

“Jharna, wait a minute,” quickly Kelvin caught up with the woman and held her hand.

Jharna's steps stopped making Kelvin immediately approach him. “Hey,” call Kelvin who turns Jharna's body to face him.

Kelvin tilted his head, trying to stare at Jharna's lowered face. He saw a tear in the corner of the woman's eye. Quickly Kelvin hugged her tightly, to calm Jharna down.

“There's me Jharna, what are you afraid of?” whispered Kelvin gently.

Slowly Jharna wrapped her arms around Kelvin's waist and hugged the man tightly. Her crying broke. Kelvin begins to feel that something is going on when Jharna goes to Leon's room. He let Jharna cry until he was satisfied without letting go of his embrace. Give this woman time to shed all the stored emotions. On the pats of Jharna's back and rubbed it gently for the woman to calm down.

After that Jharna's condition improved, only then did he take Jharna to the balcony on the second floor. Make a warm drink to calm the woman down. Jharna immediately sipped his drink bit by bit. The soothing fragrance of tea made his mind much clearer.

“Did he do something to you?” kelvin's suspicions were immediately directed at Andrew. He was forced to ask even though his chest was turbulent withstanding his annoyance.

Jharna gripped his glass tightly, he raised his face and looked at Kelvin fixedly. “I'm afraid Vin is with Andrew. I don't want to see him again.” Jharna replied tremblingly.

This innocent woman was still filled with trauma especially after she looked back at the CCTV footage she had. Andrew's attitude a moment ago made his fear come and reminded him of many heartbreaking events.

“Then what do you want to do now?” Kelvin patiently accompanied. It seems like the guess is right that Andrew did nothing to this woman.

“I want to see my lawyer, I want to end it all. I want to free myself from Andrew and Cheryl.” Jharna said firmly.

Kelvin nodded in understanding with the fear Jharna had. “If you feel threatened, you have the right to do that. You want me to drop off?” bargain Kelvin.

“You have no patient appointments?”

“Tomorrow morning I'm free.”

“Iya, there you better.” Jharna breathed a sigh of relief. He sipped back his tea, to calm himself down. “I want to sleep first yes.. Thanks for today.” Jharna moved ahead of her place.

“Iyaa, thanks also because you are already strong today,” Kelvin replied with a soothing smile.

“Malem Vin,”

“Malem Jharna,”

Jharna went to his room. He needed to rest his tired body. Kelvin is still in his place. He looked at Andrew's house. The lights were still on, it was likely that those people had not slept.

While enjoying his homemade tea, Kelvin thought about what he should do to protect Jharna. “Should I take Jharna to move from here?” That's what's going on in Kelvin's mind right now. He did not want to let Jharna continue to feel unsettled.

In the middle of his mind, his phone rang with a notification of incoming messages. Kelvin immediately checked it and his forehead wrinkled as it turned out that message was from Jharna.

“Vin, can you please accompany me for a moment? I can't sleep.” That's the message Kelvin received.

His heart was shocked to get that message. His heart suddenly thumped very fast reading Jharna's request.

“Log in to your room?” Kelvin replied with trembling.

“What's a hassle?” reply Jharna again.

Kelvin didn't reply, he just read it. His feelings were sudden so not because he imagined he had to go into Jharna's room even if just to accompany Jharna.

“Don't think bad, don't think dirty. Jharna is just being scared.” Like that Kelvin's attempt to remind himself while tapping his head with his fist. He hoped that strange thoughts would disappear from his mind.

With a determination to accompany Jharna, the man also knocked on the door of Jharna's room. He breathed his breath violently. “Jharna, I'm Kelvin.” Just like a password, to calm the paranoid Jharna.

Not long after, the door opened. He saw Jharna standing in front of him. “What do you want to do? The door is open,” said Jharna.

“Eh, gosh.” Kelvin immediately lowered his hand which was like he was about to knock on the door.

Jharna just smiled and went into his room first. He put a roll in the middle of his bed and laid his body on the left side. The empty right-hand side is probably meant for Kelvin.

Although clumsy, Kelvin finally entered Jharna's room. He left the door of Jharna's room open. He hesitated to lay his body on the side of the empty bed.

“Quite accompany me to bed Vin. Sorry if troublesome,” said Jharna while hugging the remaining one roll. He lay down facing Kelvin.

“Iyaa, I'm temenin. Want me to fablein?” with, with absurdity.

“News anything Vin, it's up to you.” Jharna still with his efforts in order to fall asleep.

“Okey, um!” Kelvin cleared his throat to neutralize his voice. He was looking for a fairy tale on the internet page, for him to tell Jharna.

Once he got there, he started telling stories. “In Tanah Karo, North Sumatra there was a long drought. Beru Dayang, an orphaned boy, died of starvation. The mother was sad until she decided to plunge into a deep river.”

“What is this story about the origin of rice?” Jharna asked curiously.

“Iya, you know?” Kelvin immediately looked.

“Iyaa, my mother once told me.” Jharna smiled a little.

“News about you aja Vin,” pinta Jharna.

“News about me?” Kelvin pointed at his own nose. Jharna just nodded slowly. “News about me that drab Jharna. You won't like it,” added Kelvin.

“You haven't even told me, how could you think I wouldn't like it?” timpal Jharna's.

Hearing Jharna's words, Kelvin turned his body sideways, facing Jharna. “My iron is beautiful after getting to know you,” said the man gently.

“Oh yes?” Jharna looked curious.

“Hem, I'm serious. I was a very disciplined kid. My father was strict with me and my sister. We must always obey. Our only task is to learn. Dad bought me a lot of books so I could be smart and great. Everyday, my sister and I just study and learn, that's why my life is so dull.” Kelvin unconsciously started telling stories. Nostalgic with the shadow of the family that filled his memories.

“When I was in High School, my father died. Not long after that, my mother was also sick, getting burns while cooking. His body was covered with wounds and was no longer helped. From then on, my life was a complete mess. I studied hard to become a doctor. I never went to play with my friends, all because of my sadness to lose my mother.”

“My sister was injured at the time. His hands and face were burned. He's been bullied a lot and I can't help him. Until finally, I graduated medicine and specialized in plastic surgery. The first person I treated was my sister. I don't want him to continue in the bully and feel himself worthless.”

“Who would have thought, my efforts succeeded. My sister is healing and she is back. That's why, I love this profession so much Jharna. I am always happy whenever I see my patients smiling proudly to see their better selves, therefore my life is like being ruined when someone drops my efforts.” The Kelvin sentence stopped. He looked at Jharna who was still looking at him.

“Your presence in my life, be my helper so as not to fall. My life became colorful and I rediscovered my courage and happiness. Thank you,” Kelvin said as he touched his hand to Jharna's.

Jharna was just stunned, he did not expect that it turned out that Kelvin was not without reason. The weight was quite heavy as he lost a lot of things.

“I was also lucky to meet you, Vin,” timpal Jharna wholeheartedly. They throw smiles at each other to encourage each other.

“Can I get closer?” kelvin asked doubtfully.

Jharna nodded slowly while smiling. Kelvin quickly shifted his body, passed through the bolster and drew closer to Jharna. In Jharna's arms tightly. “Sleep, I promise I'll protect you. I will be the safest and most comfortable place for you. Don't worry about anything Jharna, I will always be here,” Kelvin said with full seriousness.

Jharna did not chimed in, of course he believed in Kelvin's remarks. “Goodnight Vin, thank you for everything,” murmured Jharna quietly. Kelvin could still hear it.

Jharna began to close his eyes, beating Kelvin's heart near his ear into a hypnotic melody that calmed him down. He could hear the sound of Kelvin's breath being held back occasionally. But increasingly, the sound of his breathing calm. The man closed his eyes and fell asleep while hugging Jharna.

That morning, according to plan, Jharna went to the lawyer's office. He brought several important files, one of which was a medical resume document made by Kelvin.

“You want me to accompany?” kelvin asked, just before Jharna came down.

“Em, I don't think Vin. I dare to. This part of the letter from you is more than enough,” said Jharna who looks calmer in the previous appeal.

“Okey, if you need my help, just call. I keep activin hape kok,” timpal Kelvin.

“Iyaa... thanks Vin,” said Jharna. Kelvin was only nodding until his face suddenly turned red when Jharna peeked at his cheek. He was surprised not to get a beautiful gift on this sunny morning.

“Happy work, don't forget lunch. Bye!” pamit Jharna was without any guilt at all for making Kelvin freeze in his place.

“Bye...” Kelvin's voice sounded soft, he rubbed his cheek which still left a lipstick stain with Jharna's lips.

He immediately saw his face in the rearview mirror and sure enough, there was a picture of Jharna's lips there. “This is my first tattoo,” he said as he tilted his face with various expressions. “I will not delete it,” added the man again.

He opened his dashboard and took the mask from there. He tried to wear it and sure enough Jharna's lips were covered up. He opened it again and it was not erased.

“Fix, all day I will wear a mask,” said the man with confidence.

He began to drive his car confidently, whistling along the road chanting the tune of a love song. His heart is blossoming.

At the lawyer's office, Jharna was greeted by a receptionist. “Sorry, Mr. Arwin is accompanying clients to the hearing. You can meet with his team-mates, will be helped later,” said the recipe.

“Oh yes, can.” Jharna just said yes, anyway he thought it made no difference.

“Good, please in wait a moment, I call first.”

Jharna sat in the waiting room. He picked up a magazine to accompany him in waiting. The receptionist contacted someone, likely a teammate of Arwin, his lawyer.

“He will be here soon,” said the receptionist.

“Iya Mba, thanks,” timpal Jharna. The woman nodded politely while Jharna re-opened her magazine.

Not long after, there was the sound of the clattering of feet wrapped in steletos. A beautiful woman approached the receptionist.

“Where are my guests?” ask the woman.

“Oh, his guest Mba,” timpal receptionist showing Jharna.

Jharna immediately turned his head and his eyes rounded when he saw the figure of the woman who approached him. His body reflexively stood up looking at the woman's friendly smile.

“How are you, introduce me Carissa Sanjaya, a teammate of Pak Arwin,” said the girl as she extended her hand to Jharna.
