Jessica, rushing, she had an ugly premonition. Not that all his bad hunches will come true. No, it's not like that. It's just that Peony rarely goes to his house, let alone waiting at the door ah, not at the door, it's simply that this is the first time Peony is very determined to wait for him and is even willing to wait in the café as Jessica said earlier. Yes, just now Peony sent him a message and he has already returned to Jessica's house. Although the door of the house has not been opened because Jessica is on the way home. Meanwhile, Arion didn't go home, he spent the night in the office. That's how he said, even though it was obvious that he had nothing to do outside the city, but didn't go home like Peony.
Arion didn't know if Peony had left her house, really leaving with the true meaning. At exactly 7:20 p.m. Arion was called by Julio, so he went to Julio's house. Actually, they could have met in a bar or ordinary club. But, this time, Julio wants them to be at the man's house because he would rather not make others suspicious. After all, few people already know Julio's s****l orientation. But, no one knows if Arion is the same. At first, Julio only thinks that Arion is sorry for him, but over time, it turns out that they do have a lot in common.
“Arion?” Julio is surprised to see Arion here.
“Why? Am I not allowed to come here?” Arion seemed to dislike Julio's welcome, which impressed Arion had never been to his house.
“I'm just surprised why you're here.”
Julio lets Arion in as usual and goes straight to the kitchen. Made a drink for Arion.
“It's not that you haven't been here. Don't get me wrong,” Julio straightened. For a moment, Julio looked into Arion. Actually, what made the man here, there must be a reason, it is impossible that there is no reason for it.
“What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like I have a lot of debt?” Arion took a sip of his tea that Julio had given him and leaned back on the couch, straightened his legs and closed his eyes, relaxing his mind.
“It should be me who asked, what's wrong with you? Aren't you supposed to go home? Why are you here?”
Julio couldn't believe it, what he saw at that moment. In the past, when he was still dating Peony, he was more often with that woman, whereas now? He had already married that woman, even he just abandoned her.
“I'm tired, Julio, don't ask anything.”
Their conversation stalled, and Julio could only sigh and pass somewhere. Obviously, he would prepare something, whether it was dinner, a suitable bed for the two of them, or whatever it was. Free, as free as possible. Arion didn't need to know, the man just needed to sleep for a while. He had known Arion for a long time, long before Arion knew Peony. Julio himself wonders, how
Arion has been close to Peony, and does the woman not know something about her lover? Actually, it can be said, only Peony has a heart, Arion may not, not without a heart, as thought.
It's just that, Arion doesn't have more feelings, besides Peony is a woman. Without considering her a real lover as a woman. Jessica herself had arrived home, she saw Peony almost asleep in the front seat of her house with the suitcase on which she rested.
“Peony,” Jessica gasped when calling Peony. He just got out of the taxi and ran directly from the gate to the door. It's not far away, it's just that if you panic, it can definitely be more than that.
“Jes?” called Peony.
“Yes, it's me. Let's go in! I won't ask until we both clean up and are ready. Although there are many questions in my mind,” he said by helping push Peony's suitcase.
Jessica looked at Peony's tangled face for a moment then she ruffled her waist, ruffled her hair and moaned, I don't know what she was thinking that must have her mind on Arion as well.
“Just put your suitcase there, let me help bring it to the room. Just a moment." He said then, running towards a room.
Not long after, Jessica came back and brought a towel, “take a shower and clean yourself. Ah, I didn't say you are dirty Peony, not at all! But, you looked disheveled and tired. Bathing will make you look fresher, so take a bath. While you're taking a shower, I'll bring your suitcase to my room, you can sleep in my room or in the next room,” Jessica explained by pointing to the room next to her room, which is the room she entered to take the towel earlier.
And, I'm going to make food. I know you have eaten, but don't say that in front of me because I am still hungry, even if I have eaten sandwich bread and drank ice Americano, I am still hungry. Okay, just explain it later. Now, go to the bathroom,” he continued, pushing Peony into the bathroom to clean herself.
Peony cleaned up while Jessica made dessert for the two of them. After making food for the two of them, Jessica's phone rang, and it turned out to be from Gabriel.
“Yes, hello,” Jessica replied.
“Have you arrived at Jes's house?” asked Gabriel.
“I have,” Jessica replied.
“What about your friend, Peony isn't it?” asked Gabriel again, not Gabriel's intention to take care of too much, but he was told by Marie that Jessica was a little worried about her best friend.
“Ah, I'm sorry I asked Marie. Sorry, Jes, it's not that I want to interfere. I'm just worried. It's nothing, it's just that because you are worried about your friend, I am also worried about you. That's it.”
For some reason, Gabriel tried to explain, even though Jessica didn't ask. Perhaps, he will also be uncomfortable if others know that you yourself did not tell him. But to Gabriel, Jessica is no stranger. Although, he has never asked Jessica what he thinks of him.
As if connected, Gabriel worries about Jessica, and Jessica worries about her best friend. Although, it can't be said that Gabriel also doesn't feel worried about Jessica's best friend. Because it could be because Jessica's best friend is even more difficult to approach, according to Gabriel's own view.
“Oh, yes, I have. I hung up,” Gabriel said.
Jessica just nodded, but realized that the man wouldn't see her, she replied, “Okay, thank you.” It is said.
After hanging up their call, Jessica saw Peony coming out of the bathroom and told her best friend to sit nearby. Then looked at the old Peony, then sighed and said, “I'll take a bath first, we'll tell you later. Eat first, you can leave me a little,” he said.
Either Jessica's feeling is good, or it is certain that Peony actually doesn't eat at all. It's not that she memorizes her best friend, but how can Peony eat when life alone is not enthusiastic. Although the woman said that she had eaten at the café mentioned by Jessica. But, Jessica herself wasn't sure, most Peony ordered food just to avoid suspicion that she was unwell, even though Jessica actually knew when she touched Peony's arm the woman looked a little feverish.
“I'm okay anyway Jes,” Peony lowered Jessica's hand from her forehead.
“What's okay? You see, your body is so hot, your body is weak. What exactly is a Peony?”
Jessica was not angry, she was just worried. Peony kept silent even though the woman wanted to talk earlier, Jessica knew what Peony was going to say. “Don't worry, I'm fine. Just want to rest,” it was always like that, from a long time ago when he fought with Arion only that excuse was heard.
Jessica is not inconsiderate, especially this is a quarrel between husband and wife, it's just that sometimes they rarely quarrel, still once they quarrel always like this, this is the result when it comes to refrigerator people, Jessica's mind. But, what can you do. It's all happened.
“I don't accept any reason Peony, now explain. What's the matter between you two?” Jessica ruffled her waist, but Peony pulled her to sit next to the woman.
He couldn't help but finally sat next to Peony with a heavy heart, and let out a long breath. Like letting go of a heavy load.
Finally, Peony told a story, at length, without missing a single story, and everything experienced, was told to Jessica. Jessica as a listener responded to all of Peony's remarks with various expressions, according to the atmosphere, and what Peony saw told to Jessica made the woman angry herself.
“What? So, he is gay? Why have an affair with a man anyway?” Jessica was passionate, and thumped the table in front of her. Fortunately, the glass table was not broken, ah yes, this Jessica is a former athlete, she could have hit the table and smashed. So did Arion, it's just that Peony begged not to do anything because she would act on Arion. Actually, Jessica was already lazy to hear Peony trying to accept Arion, and Jessica resuscitated her again.
"Do you still want to go back to him? She's not a normal Peony, after all she's having an affair with a man anyway,” Jessica growled and clenched her fists into fists.
"No, I've thought about it Jes, I will never go back to him. After all, I've been very hurt.”
Peony's explanation made Jessica nod in agreement, “I agree, if necessary, it's better to play with him first and then throw it into the sea.”
Peony nodded at Jessica's suggestion. He wanted to do it for Arion.
