Jessica completely cut off contact with Sean. The girl blocked Sean from all her social media. Even at school, the girl was reluctant to meet Sean even though the man said he wanted to consult about his nephew's problem.
The man had made the fatal mistake of trying to frame her. No more apologies for him.
However, recently, something was bothering the girl.
Rey's attitude.
Although half-conscious, Jessica remembers all their conversations that night, when Rey waited for her to fall asleep.
Jessica thought maybe Rey would change. However, it seemed that was the girl's only hope.
After that night, Rey acted as usual, as if nothing had ever happened to them. He and Lusi still look intimate. Maybe even more.
Could Rey fall in love with Lusi?
Jessica Ego said to reclaim Rey because that man was hers from the start. However, her logic told her to just let him be with Lusi. Lusi can make Rey happy, isn't it if she loves Rey, she must do whatever it takes to make him happy, including letting him go?
However, for some reason, Jessica feels, for now, her ego is more dominant. She still wants to fight for her love. She wanted Rey to come back to her. She also wanted to feel what it was like to be loved by the man she had adored.
Jessica exhaled hard, then lay down on the grass. She wanted to stop thinking. It feels like her brain is so full right now.
The girl closed her eyes slowly and tried to enjoy the gentle breeze blowing against her face.
Bug!
Jessica gasped while holding her stomach when somehow something suddenly hit her stomach.
Sick! That's how Jessica feels right now.
The girl scowled in annoyance at the baseball that was rolling near her.
Damn ball!
Someone ran in a hurry, approached Jessica.
"I'm sorry, Lala didn't mean to," a little girl squatted in front of Jessica while crying.
"Is this ball yours?" asked Jessica slowly.
The girl nodded slowly. Her tears were still flowing.
"I'm sorry..." the girl whispered.
Jessica took the ball, then gave it to the little girl.
"Don't cry. The beauty will be gone later. I am okay. It doesn't hurt. Don't cry," Jessica gently stroked her hair.
The girl was still looking at her in fear.
"But your stomach got hit by Lala's ball, it must hurt. I'm sorry..."
A very innocent sweet girl. She kept on apologizing while crying. Oh, who could bear to see her like this?
"Sorry, are you okay?" someone came to them.
A man squatted near Jessica then looked at the girl worriedly.
"Relax. It doesn't hurt!" Jessica lie.
Honestly, it hurts. Maybe it's also because Jessica hasn't eaten all day, so her stomach hurts a lot when she was hit by the ball.
"Are you sure?" the man asked again.
Jessica nodded slowly.
The man then turned to look at the little girl.
"Lala has apologized?"
The little girl named Lala immediately nodded quickly.
"Once again sorry. Lala must have accidentally hit the ball on you," said the man feeling bad.
"Yeah, just relax. It's not Lala's fault. After all, I'm also the one who carelessly lies here. This is a place to play." cried Jessica slowly.
The man then nodded slowly.
"That's it. Lala, just playing again there, Uncle Kiki bought a lot of ice cream for Lala and friends." Said the man.
"Really?" shouted Lala excitedly.
The man smiled and nodded quickly.
"Okay, I want to go to Uncle Kiki first. Bye!"
Lala waved her hand and immediately ran away from them.
"Are you alone?" asked the man, looking around.
Jessica nodded slowly.
"Why are you going to the park alone?"
The girl only responded to the stranger's question with a wide grin.
"Are you Lala's brother?"
"Yes, why?"
"How come it's not similar?"
Oops. Damn mouth! Jessica immediately cursed her presumptuous words.
However, instead of being offended, the man just laughed so lightly. Hearing the man's laughter, made Jessica laugh too, although to be honest there was nothing to laugh at.
"There are so many people who say that. But swear, I'm the older brother. Maybe because I look more like my mother, if she looks more like father, we don't look alike."
Jessica nodded slowly with a small smile.
"Oh yeah, introduce me, my name is Marcell!"
The man held out his hand, smiling warmly. Of course, Jessica immediately greeted him. Good intentions can't be denied right?
"I'm Jessica. Nice to meet you..."
They both smiled, then accidentally, Jessica looked at the watch on Marcell's hand.
Late afternoon.
"It's late, I'll go back first," Jessica stood up and straightened her clothes, and cleaned them from the dirt stuck to them.
"Again, sorry for earlier," Marcell said quietly.
Jessica nodded slowly. Then when she turned around and walked away, the girl screamed in pain.
"Argh!"
Reflex Jessica immediately bent down while holding her stomach.
Sick. It hurts so much.
"Are you okay?" Marcell immediately approached Jessica and confirmed the girl's condition.
"Yes."
"I think your stomach hurts, maybe because you got hit by Lala's ball earlier. To the hospital, huh?"
As quickly as possible Jessica shook her head, and tried to stand up straight.
"No need. At least after resting, I will feel better."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll take you home okay?"
"No need! My house is close! Really!"
Marcell shook his head slowly and looked at Jessica sharply.
"I'm forcing it! You're still in pain! You don't have to refuse! I don't have any intention of the mod, I swear!"
Hmm huh? That is true. Jessica's stomach hurt, and she didn't bring a cellphone. The girl couldn't get someone to pick her up.
"Okay, okay, thanks in advance."
"Yeah. Besides, your stomach hurts because of my sister. I should be responsible."
Nice.

"Whoa, geek!"
Just as Marcell turned to leave after taking Jessica to the front of the share house, William's booming voice managed to stop his steps and turned his head back towards the share house.
"Satan! No news! When are you coming back?!" see William enthusiastically.
Marcell took a deep breath as he smoothed his hair which was messy in the wind.
"Hi!" said Marcell while raising his hand.
Jessica looked at William and Marcell in turn.
"You two know each other?"
"Jess? Are you here? What are you doing?"
The question is not quality.
"I've always been here!"
"Really?"
"You live here, Willy?" Marcell walked over to them.
"Yes. You alone? What are you doing? When are you coming back? No news! You bastard!"
"Sorry, bro! I also just came yesterday!"
"Oh. Then, what are you doing here?"
"Take home Jessica!"
"How come?" shouted William curiously.
"I was accompanying Lala to play with her friends. It was with Kiki earlier. Then Lala's ball accidentally hit Jessica's stomach. So, I take her here."
William immediately turned to Jessica and looked at the girl straight.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" said Jessica quickly.
"Guys, I'll be back first. Poor Kiki taking care of the kids alone!" interrupted Marcell.
"Cell, don't you want to stay in first?"
"Nope. I'll stop by here any time!"
***
Friday night.
Lusi just had a tantrum, because Rey didn't want to accompany her out.
Rey was hit by extraordinary laziness that made Lusi sulk because he couldn't accompany the girl.
The share house is very quiet now. Of course, it's Friday nite. It's even weird when the kids are at home.
cluck!
Rey's reflex turned towards the voice.
Jessica just came out of her room. She walked slowly down the stairs.
"Where are you going?"
The girl turned to Rey while smoothing her hair that fell beautifully.
"Walk. How come you're alone? Not going with Lusi?"
Whenever the girl mentioned Lusi's name, there was a disturbing feeling that spread into the recesses of Rey's heart.
"Lusi just hang out with Vera."
"Oh."
"You want to go with Alex?"
"No. Alex is having a high school friend's reunion."
"So? Who do you want to go with?!"
Jessica sat next to Rey, then tied her shoelaces.
"New friend."
"Man?"
"Yes."
"Be careful!" Rey warned.
"Why? Are you worried about me?" snapped Jessica.
"Yeah, I'm afraid you'll be hurt."
"If you're worried, then protect me!I'll be wrong with him!" Jessica said origin.
Really, Rey didn't like hearing the girl's tone of voice.
Rey also grabbed Jessica's sling bag on the table. He took the girl's cellphone and opened the top massage room.
Jessica made an appointment with someone named Marcell to meet at one of the cafes.
Without thinking, Rey immediately typed a message and sent it to Marcell.
"What are you doing, Rey?" asked Jessica after finishing with her shoes.
The girl looked at Rey and her cellphone alternately in confusion.
"Here, I've canceled your meeting with him!" Rey returned the girl's cellphone.
"What are you doing? What is wrong with you?!"
"I don't like you going out at night with other men. Wearing clothes that lack material like that!"
"Less material? If my clothes lack material, how's your girlfriend, huh? Come on, don't mind my business! Just take care of your girlfriend, it's better!" Jessica snorted in annoyance, then stood up and walked away from Rey.
The man immediately chased after her. He also stopped Jessica.
"Where are you going?"
"Go!" said Jessica flatly.
"I've already canceled your meet!"
"Fool. I can walk alone!"
"No. It's dangerous to be alone!"
"Then I can ask Sean to take me. He certainly won't refuse to accompany me!" exclaimed the original Jessica.
Rey scowled at the mention of the man's name.
"You already know he's an asshole, still mentions his name!" Rey grunted in annoyance.
Rey stared intently into Jessica's eyes. Can't believe he made it. How could the girl still want to mention Sean's name? While Sean had injured her.
Rey grabbed Jessica's hand and took her to the parking lot to the man's car.
"What else now?" snapped Jessica.
"Go with me!" Rey said with a flat face.
To be honest, Jessica was a little surprised, but she tried to act as naturally as possible.
"No need!" snapped Jessica.
"You're welcome!"
