Marrying My Sister-in-law
Realizing the Heart

Since her brother's lawyer said that Jero had signed the divorce papers, Giani looked sad. There were dark circles under his eyes. It seems Giani is sleep deprived. She smiles whenever she is near Alexa.

Alexa is no longer therapeutic. He can walk well. He could even run happily.

"Hallo Eca...!" Sapa Joana who just came.

"Tante....!" Alexa who just finished dinner immediately ran and hugged Joana. Aldo saw her happy. Alexa loves Joana as much as she loves Giani.

"Let's eat with us!" Bring Giani.

"I'm full. There was a birthday in the office so there was a free meal." Joana who was hugging Alexa immediately put down the girl. He opened his bag and took out 2 chocolate bars.

"Makasi aunty bule." Alexa then gave a kiss on Joana's right and left cheek.

"Beloved together. Don't forget to brush your teeth after eating chocolate?"

"OKs. Now Eca wants to watch Barbie first while eating chocolate." Alexa immediately ran to the family room to watch her favorite cartoon.

Joana joined the dining table. Giani and Aldo while enjoying their dinner.

"Gi, are you sick?" Ask Joana.

"No."

"Your face looks pale. There's a black ring in your eye. You rarely sleep?"

"Maybe the air is too cold. It will soon be in the winter. We are used to the tropics. It's the first time there's a 4-season country." Giani said trying to cover up his heart. He missed Jakarta.

"Then just go home to Indonesia" said Joana made Aldo look at his sister.

"Would you like to go home, Gi?" Ask Aldo.

"Not really. I'll go with brother. Alexa also likes it here. He excitedly welcomed his first snow."

Giani cleared the dining table. He put all the dirty cutlery into the dishwasher.

"Sister, Joana, I accompanied Alexa to watch TV?" Pamit Giani's. He wants to give his brother and Joana a chance to get closer.

Aldo looked at Joana. She was actually very confused with Joana. 3 days the woman did not visit this house because she was busy with her work.

"We're sitting by the fireplace, yuk!" Take Aldo.

"I'll make you some coffee first, okay?"

Aldo nodded. The fireplace is next to the family room. There's a wall between those spaces.

While waiting for Joana to prepare the coffee, Aldo added wood to the fireplace.

There was a long sofa available by the fireplace.

Joana sat down next to Aldo and handed him a cup of coffee.

"Finly said he came here huh?" Ask Joana.

"Yes. You know where it's coming from?"

"Alexa told me when I called her."

"He's got an event in LA. That's why he stopped by for 2 days. Thankfully, Alexa spoke to him. Finly even stayed here."

Joana was a little surprised to hear that. "Stay here? Well, it's fun, would be nice to meet the ex."

"You why the hell? Jealousy huh?" Aldo poking Joana's waist.

"Who is jealous?" Joana immediately turned her face the other way. He even pretended to sip his coffee.

Aldo placed his coffee glass on the small table beside him. He also took the glass in Joana's hand and placed it next to his glass. After that, he held Joana's hands together.

"Jo, we're not young people anymore who have to play cat-kissing about our feelings. I want to know how you feel about me."

Joana took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He looked at Aldo. "You have a million charms that all women want. I can't lie if I'm interested in you. But what about Alexa? I'm afraid that our change in status will upset Alexa."

"I asked Alexa. And she agreed when I said I wanted to marry you."

"Married me?"

"Jo, I don't want to date you. I want to marry you."

Joana's eyes are glazed. When it comes to George, Joana is so eager for the man to marry her. George never believed in marriage. So they are only engaged without marriage.

"Thank you, Aldo. But give me time to think first, will you? Marriage is something I have never done. I'm also not like an Indonesian girl who's a virgin and..." Joana's words stopped because Aldo had kissed her lips.

"I want you without caring about your past. The most important thing for me is that Alexa is happy and I am too."

Joana hugged Aldo. His feelings become happy. When their arms came off, their lips met again. A long kiss and evokes the desire to unite.

"Non't come home tonight, huh?" aldo whispered on Joana's lips.

"OKs. There's something I want to talk to Giani about."

"Who said you'd sleep with Giani tonight?"

Joana's face was red. He understood Aldo's direction. No hypocrite, he also wanted to sleep in the warm embrace of the oriental-faced man.

Giani who is going to the kitchen and make milk for Alexa, saw her brother's affection with Joana. He is happy that Aldo can finally build a relationship with Joana.

However, when he reached the kitchen, Giani actually remembered that in this kitchen, Jero had embraced and kissed him with affection. Giani's heart was like a sharp knife. Those memories made Giani want to meet Jero.

Oh my God, I miss Jero. I want to hug her now.

Giani held his chest. Now he knows he misses Jeronimo.

"Gi, what's wrong with you?" Ask Joana. He went to the kitchen to get a snack in the fridge.

Giani hurriedly wiped away his tears. "No. I'm gonna make milk for Alexa." Giani took a glass and started putting Alexa milk in it.

"Gi, do you miss Jero?"

Giani's hand that temporarily stirred the milk came to a halt. But then he smiled. In her eyes Joana with her sweet smile. "I'm just missing the pilgrimage to papa and mama's tomb." He said and immediately went to bring Alexa's milk.

Jaona returned to the fireplace. Aldo looked at Joana's sad face.

"What's the matter, baby?" Ask Aldo

Joana looked at Aldo. "I feel that Giani has fallen in love with Jero."

"Where is it possible?"

"Aldo, since the news of their divorce was over, I saw something strange with Giani. Don't you see that Giani's getting thinner? He can't sleep because he thinks of Jero."

Aldo. His heart became agitated. Is it true that Giani is in love with Jero?

*******

In another hemisphere, in the city of Jakarta, Jero who was in his office, suddenly remembered Giani.

Why do I suddenly miss Giani huh? Is he in there okay? Or is he sick? Oh my God, I'd love to call her. But my number is still blocked by Giani.

Jero stood up from his seat of greatness. He took a glass and poured water into it. After that, he swallowed it until it was finished. He glanced at his watch. At 11 noon. Means in America it's 11 p.m.

Gi, what are you doing there? Are you thinking of me?

Jero grabbed his phone. He sent a message to Giani even though he knew that the message would not be sent. Giani has blocked the number.

*********

At different times and in different places, Giani just put Alexa to sleep. He did not want to disturb the affection of Aldo and Joana, so when Alexa was asleep, Giani chose to be in Alexa's room only.

Giani's hand grabbed his phone. He opened the list of existing contacts.His hand stopped on the number Jero that he had blocked. Should I open it?

Giani's hand moved, opening the Jero number he blocked. Suddenly a message came in. Giani's heart was almost dislodged when he saw the message from Jero's number.

Giani, are you there alright?

I suddenly missed you today.

Giani's heart shook receiving the message. Hand's moving. He wants to reply to Jero's message.

Jero, who was still sitting on his chair, was surprised to hear the incoming message from his phone. He almost jumped up in excitement when he saw that message from Giani.

I'm fine, brother. Thank ye.

Jero's hand shook back Giani's message quickly.

Makasi no longer blocks my number. Please, sometimes we send each other messages, right? I promise I won't call if you don't want to.

Giani smiled reading Jero's message. He decided not to block Jero's number anymore.

Ok. I slept first...

Jero was disappointed that Giani was overheating the conversation. But he also knew that it was almost midnight there now.

Sweet dreams

Giani smiled again reading Jero's message. He put his phone back and laid his body next to Alexa. Giani's face kept smiling. He suddenly wanted to sleep while imagining Jeronimo Dawson's face.

********

Jero read Giani's short message repeatedly. His heart was happy.

the door to the room was knocked. Selly, the secretary's in. "Sir, here's the document to sign."

Jero opened the mapfile that Selly thrust at him. "Cell, please call Beryl. Also arrange our tickets to go to Singapore the day after."

"Sir Beryl is today in America, sir. The plane left at 8 this morning."

Jero's hand holding the pen came to a halt in the air. Did Beryl see Giani? How does my heart hurt?

Well...what's Beryl doing there???
