WHO'S JEALOUS (1)

"Axell moved to Indonesia to become the Chancellor at the University that Juan and Jean chose." said Nadine, seeing Ardham's reaction.

Ardham stopped reading his newspaper.

"When will he be back?" Ardham asked hoarsely.

"He came today, he is already living in the Apartment at the Hotel Ayola." Nadine replied trying to be calm.

"Does he want to meet you?" Ardham asked, staring sadly Nadine's face.

Ardham knew that he was no longer young, what he had been afraid of would happen.

Nadine was silent, did not answer Ardham's question, but Nadine gently stood up and grabbed Ardham's hand to invite him to stand up and lead him into the room.

In the room, Nadine hugged Ardham's neck and looked at Ardham's face full of love.

"I really love you Dham." said Nadine in a low voice, kissing Ardham's lower lip.

"I love you too dear, but still it won't change my age. When I'm old, I'm almost sixty years old. And you are still young and more beautiful like today. See my hair honey? I already have white hair, and my strength is not what it used to be." said Ardham staring sadly Nadine's face.

Nadine hugged Ardham's body very tightly.

"Don't say that again Dham, you know what you say can kill me slowly." whispered Nadine in Ardham's ear.

Ardham returned Nadine's hug tighter.

"Would you meet him if he wanted to meet you dear?" said Ardham with jealousy.

"If my husband doesn't let me, I won't go." Nadine replied cupping Ardham's face, which looked very handsome.

"You know Dham, to be honest I love you more with that face now, very handsome with a little white hair here." said Nadine, combing Ardham's hair with her finger.

"You always spoil me with sweet words when I sulk to you dear." said Ardham, rubbing Nadine's lower lip with his thumb.

"I will always spoil you and will continue to do so until we are both old. Honestly honey, I want us to die together by hugging each other." Nadine said softly as she kissed Ardham's lips gently.

Jean leaned back on the long sofa in the living room feeling bored.

Her eyes were closed while placing a wet towel on his forehead.

"Why are you sleeping here honey?" asked Nadine who just came from Ardham's office.

"Bored in the room all the time, Mom." Jean replied as she got up and gave a place to Nadine.

Nadine felt Jean's forehead, still a little warm.

"Uncle Frans was here, right Jean?" Nadine asked, handing her a box of Jeany's favorite lollipops.

"Already Mom, I just took the medicine." replied Jean as she unwrapped her lollipop.

"Don't eat candy yet, Jean, you can eat it when you're cured." said Nadine, reaching for the candy that Jean was holding.

"Mom, just one please, let my boredom disappear Mom." said Jean with a sad face.

"No Jean, Momy forbids you to eat this candy, because Momy loves you, when you get better you can eat as much as you want." said Nadine, returning the candy that Jean took into the box again.

"Have you eaten dear?" asked Nadine again looking at Jean pensive.

"I've eaten too, Mom." said Jean staring at Nadine's very beautiful face, maybe if other people saw Nadine like her sister, not her mother.

"Mom, is it true that Mom loves Daddy from Mommy when was young?" asked Jean, still staring at Nadine with great admiration.

"Who's the story dear?" asked Nadine to return Jean's gaze softly.

"Dad told the story." replied Jean honestly.

"That's right, honey, Mom really loves Daddy from Mom's eleven years old." Nadine said with a smile.

"Do you love someone?" Nadine asked questioningly.

Jean shook her head quickly.

"Nothing yet, Mom. I still want to focus on school." replied Jean calmly.

Nadine looked at Jean's face, wanted to talk again but was stopped by the sound of the front doorbell.

"Wait a moment dear, it looks like there are guests." said Nadine getting up from her seat and walking into the hall.

Shortly thereafter Nadine entered with a teenage boy who was still in school uniform.

"Hey Jean." said Daniel one of Jean's schoolmates.

"Are you Niel? You do not go to school?" asked Jean as she smoothed her slightly messy hair.

Daniel is a handsome boy in school after Juan, Besides being handsome Daniel is also the vice head of the class and always gets the number one ranking in her class.

"I asked permission to go home first." said Daniel as he nodded his head saluting Nadine.

"What is your name?" Nadine asked kindly.

"Daniel Clifford, Aunty." replied Daniel politely and kindly.

"Sit down Niel, Aunt up first." said Nadine, carrying the file that Ardham had left to take home.

"Niel, what are you doing here?" asked Jean, looking at Daniel investigating.

"Juan said you were sick, so I wanted to see you." replied Daniel casually.

"What do you bring?" asked Jean when she found out that Daniel was carrying a large paper bag.

"This is for you, this is a box of your favorite candy, this is your favorite apple too, and this white rose is for you too." said Daniel putting candy and apples on the table, and a white rose was given to Jean.

"You Niel, this is so cute. thank you Niel." said Jean with a feeling of flowery.

"You're welcome, Jean." said Daniel looking at Jean's face with a smile.

"Niel, are you thirsty? can you make it yourself in the kitchen? it's okay right? think of it at home." said Jean who still felt dizzy when she was made to stand up.

"Just relax Jean, let me go to the kitchen first, okay? once I peeled an apple for you." said Daniel still smiling.

"Thank you Niel." said Jean seeing that Daniel had walked into the kitchen.

Jean smiled sweetly, sat daydreaming, staring at the flowers Daniel gave her.

But my daydreaming stopped when I heard the sound of two people of different types entering the house laughing sweetly together.
