Awkward.
Lexi’s feelings at the moment were still unsettled. There was even a bitter taste at the end of his throat as he walked out of Mr. Kim’s residence. Some of the people who worked there looked at him and could guess. What happened? Mr. Kim certainly did not grant the man’s wish.
It was Joe, the secretary, who invited Lexi to chat on the rooftop. He walked up to Lexi and stopped for a moment the young man who walked towards the door.
“What did Mr. Kim say?” the man asked, standing right in front of Lexi. “Did Mr. Kim kick you out of this house?” he guessed then. He took a deep breath feeling disappointed. Mr. Kim was always haughty and stubborn. Even after his three grandchildren left this house. The boss and his best friend are still stubborn.
“No, Mr. Kim did not expel me. He asked me to come back tonight with Miss Elsa,” Lexi replied. He didn’t know why he was feeling ashamed.
“Really?” Joe looked at Lexi sharply and for a long time.
Lexi nodded.
“That’s a good sign. If Mr. Kim tells you to come, it means Mr. Kim gives you a chance young man,” Joe said very confidently.
“Really, Joe?” Lexi who had since bowed her head and felt resigned. He raised his head in response to the gaze of the middle-aged man in front of him. The twinkle in the man’s eyes made it clear that he was honest and not making things up. Especially when the man nodded and smiled Lexi was more convinced that Mr. Kim would allow him to go take Jessica to Jakarta.
“Yes, I am responsible for what I say. Mr. Kim now feels lonely, when his grandchildren leave home, he will definitely do anything to make them all go home without exception if the conditions are right then allowing you and miss Elsa together,” Joe replied very confidently.
“Thank you sir. I have a lot to thank Joe. Now I say goodbye first and later tonight I will be back again with my wife,” the young man said.
Lexi stepped into the elevator. It drove him to the basement where Daniel was still waiting for him there. So, the man got into the car to meet his brother-in-law.
Daniel just turned his head, when Lexi came over. And his brother-in-law sat next to him with a well-read expression, downcast, and busy with his own thoughts.
The first grandchild of the Kim family observed the man sitting next to him. He was waiting for his brother-in-law to say something. However, Lexi did not say anything. She paused and told Daniel to go back to the apartment.
he was not Daniel’s name if he could delay curiosity. The man immediately asked because he wanted to know how the grandfather responded. upon Lexi’s arrival. “So what did grandpa say?” Daniel asked . He did not intend to run his four-wheeled vehicle yet.
“Grandpa asked me to come again tonight with Jessica. I don’t know and can’t guess what’s on grandpa kim’s mind right now, but it seems like he feels very lonely left by the three of you,” Lexi explained.
Daniel was silent for a moment, he was sure that his grandfather was planning something. it was clear the man had not forgiven Lexi. However, Daniel chose not to ask again. He immediately started the car’s engine and ran it out of the parking area. There was no other destination except his apartment which was not too far from the residence of the grandfather.
The man, running his car at medium speed, occasionally glanced at Lexi and tried to guess what was on his mind. Daniel could feel that Lexi was trying hard to get him to accept her. That’s right, his love for Elsa was beyond doubt. Proven Lexi always tried and kept trying to fight to get the blessing of his grandfather. Suddenly Daniel remembered his beloved. A girl who, all this time, was in his heart. However, it could rarely be found. It’s not easy for Daniel Kim to meet a woman. The grandfather would balk at Daniel Kim’s lover, not the upper middle class. Daniel’s lover was just an ordinary teacher by profession and she is not the daughter of a rich man. Of course, Kim’s grandfather didn’t approve. However, Daniel also never tried to get the blessing of his grandfather. So, what Lexi did made him realize. he was conscious to fight for what was worth fighting for.
They arrived at the parking lot of Daniel’s apartment. Lexi and her sister-in-law got out of the car together. Then, the two walked towards the elevator.
“What are you thinking?” Lexi asked several times looking at Daniel as if contemplating thinking about something.
Daniel just shook his head. It was unlikely that he admitted that at the moment he was thinking about the girl he loved. He had not seen her for a long time and had never done anything to fight for her love. Daniel looked down and smiled, realizing how cowardly he had been.
When the elevator door opened, they immediately entered, then pressed the button according to the floor where Daniel’s apartment unit was located.
If Elsa’s problem was solved, his grandfather gave his blessing to both of them, at that moment Daniel would try to fight for his love.
The elevator door opened, Daniel walked in first followed by Lexi. With his right hand, Daniel pressed the password of his apartment door, when the door opened he saw Jessica and David already waiting for their arrival.
Jessica walked over to her husband. “How? What did you say? Is he, like, mad at you? ” Jessica looked sharply at her husband’s face waiting for an answer from him
Lexi did not immediately answer, he took both hands of his wife, then led her to sit down. “Grandpa has not yet given an answer. Grandpa asked me to come take you tonight. I think you three have gone too far. Yes, grandfather did not immediately give me permission, because grandfather must have been lonely. And tonight you two are coming with me. Grandpa must want to talk to you guys too!” Lexi looked at them in turn.
The four of them sat in the living room. The TV was still on, but everyone was busy with their own thoughts, except David. He was bored because he didn’t do anything. Today he worked off. Sometimes he went to work on Sundays and sometimes he missed work. The second grandson of the Kim family, completely out of style and misbehaving, did not know what to do.
He was getting deathly loose when he saw Jessica and Lexi showing love at each other. Instead of it openly only their eyes were full of codes that made him feel awkward.
David’s eyes turned to Daniel. His brother looked gloomy. Daniel wasn’t even aware as he was hinting to come out right now.
David got even more awkward when Jessica smiled while flirting with Lexi. Yes, her sister looked very aggressive making him feel ashamed, just really bad in this atmosphere.
” I’m going to go buy some food and drink, ” David pretended to get up from his seat and without hearing anyone’s approval he immediately moved toward the door.
“I will accompany you.” Daniel didn’t want to be caught in an awkward situation. He got up from his seat and followed in his brother’s footsteps. They both got out of the apartment and gave Lexi and Jessica time to spend together.
“Shall we go to the room now?” Jessica asked when they were alone. She wrapped her hands around her husband’s neck as if unwilling if the man was far away from her.
“Why are you so aggressive? Look, What are you doing this afternoon like you took me to the room? Looks like this is not the Jessica I know!” Lexi patted his wife’s cheek. He felt nervous and occasionally pinched her.
Lexi followed in his wife’s footsteps. He entered the room and didn’t forget to lock it. He looked at the wall clock that showed 11: 09 PM was not the right time to make love. He was ashamed of the sun and the birds that fly in the sky. He missed Jessica, but making love during the day was not the right choice for now. Moreover, they were not at his house, they were hitchhiking in Daniel’s apartment.
Jessica did not answer, she unraveled the two hands that were wrapped around her husband’s neck. Then, he walked first to the room, and left the door open.
” Honey, ” Jessica called, leading Lexi to lie down beside her.
“Yes, my dear wife. What’s wrong?” Lexi laid down, then he kissed his wife on the lips briefly, gently, but very meaningfully. Next he kissed deeper and greedily. He threw all his energy into that kiss. Long and wet, intense.
“Honey, can I ask for help?” Jessica asked after Lexi parsed her lips kiss.
“Tell me what I can do for you,” Lexi said quietly. He kissed Jessica again on the cheek in case he was in the hotel or in his own home. Might be he had sex with his wife. This time, he tried to restrain himself because they were in Daniel’s apartment.
“Please get me a drink,” he asked.
“Honey, what are you drinking?” Lexi would be happy to get her a drink.
“David bought me some milk. It must be on the kitchen table, if it’s not there, it must be in the refrigerator.” Jessica showed as flat an expression as possible.
“So you want to drink milk?” The husband assured.
Jessica interrupted, actually already preparing this surprise for Lexi. Her husband must would been surprised when he saw special milk for pregnant women on the kitchen table.
“I’ll make you some milk.” Lexi got out of her sleep and walked out of the room. He walked past the living room and stopped at the kitchen which was right next to the living room. Then, he began to look for the milk that his wife meant.
His sense of sight was fixed on a box of chocolate milk. Lexi was usually very thoroughly astonished to see a picture of a box of milk on the kitchen table. He was amazed that there was a picture of a pregnant woman on the box of milk
Lexi, who was increasingly curious, reached for the milk box and read the benefits listed in the back of that box of milk. Lexi immediately ran back to the room, to ask his wife directly.
“Honey, are you pregnant?” Lexi asked with a trembling body. His hands trembled, his lips quivered, and he could not wait to hear his wife’s answer.
Instead of answering Jessica calmly grabbed the bag and took the test that was in it. “Yes, my dear, I am pregnant. I am pregnant with our dear child” ” she said with a smile.
Lexi immediately hugged the wife tightly. He landed a kiss several times on Jessica’s cheek, then on her left cheek. He was feeling so happy that the beads of tears were imperceptibly dripping from the corners of his eyes, wet cheeks. These were happy tears. At least his guilt at Jessica on that day diminished a little.
Lexi had not yet let go of her embrace to her wife. He was so happy, so happy that he couldn’t speak. In his heart he was very grateful. God was so good to him when he lost his dad so suddenly. Then God replaced it with his wife’s pregnancy.
Not just for him. His mom was currently in Jakarta and would be very happy to hear the news of his wife’s pregnancy. Same with the people at home. He was crying happily. This time he would never let go of Jessica, will not! He would fight so that they could live together again.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Inevitably, he had to try to get his wife’s grandfather to give his blessing on their relationship.
