The Twin Sons the Ruler
Jasmine's Story

"So Cellyn is your son?" Amanda began to open her voice again, after a while ago they were both busy hugging each other to let go of longing. Jasmine who was asked, only nodded in response to Amanda's question.

"So you're married?" again Jasmine nodded. But the look on his face looked sad as he nodded his head.

"Where's your husband? how can you stay in this Bekasi area? don't you work in Jakarta?" lecar Amanda.

"Stop asked about me first! Now that you have to answer my question, why did you leave, without informing me at all? you know, I'm tired of looking everywhere for you." The highlight of Jasmine's eyes was so sharp, that it made Amanda bite her lips and sigh long enough.

With a sad look on her face, Amanda told her everything that happened to her, including the reason why she left without telling her best friend.

"Sorry, Jas! I didn't want to bother you anymore at that time. I knew if I told you, you would definitely try to help me again." Amanda looked at Jasmine with a sad face.

"Why do you think like that? I'm your best friend, so I should help you."

"You've helped me too much, so I feel bad to tell you what happened to me" Amanda said.

Jasmine exhaled her breath, unable to bear to get angry seeing Amanda's parched face.

"So what are you doing to finance your life and your child's?" ask Jasmine.

"As you can see, in front there's a 'steling', I sell breakfast and I also receive laundry, Jas." Jasmine mutters, concerned to see Amanda's life. "It turns out my life is better than yours, Nda!" jasmine said that she only dared to say in her heart.

"She, didn't you say you were pregnant with twins? but why is there only one?" Jasmine turned her gaze towards Anin who was playing with Celyn.

"Oh, ada! he's in the room. Wait for me to call her first," Amanda stood up and moved towards the room covered with thin curtains.

"This is my son, Aby, Jas.__ Aby, this is Aunt Jasmine, Celyn's mother. Aunt Jasmine this is my mom's best friend first."

"Hallo Aunt! i'm Aby!" Aby reached out her hand shake and kissed the back of Jasmine's hand.

Jasmine squinted her eyes at Aby's face, which she seemed to have seen on someone's face.

"Why, Auntie? is there something strange on Aby's face?" Aby squinted her eyes, looking suspiciously at Jasmine.

"Ti-nothing. Just your face, like someone's, but Aunt forgot who.you're in school?" a smile rose on Jasmine's lips, to melt the tension that had been created.

"Already, Tan.I and my sister are still Kindergarten, but soon will enter SD, "Aby's answer sounds cold, making Jasmine remember, if Aby's way of talking is also similar to someone she knows.

"God!" hiss Jasmine called the man's name shrill, resembling a mutter to the point of being almost inaudible.

"Tante said what? can Aunt repeat? sorry Aby didn't hear that."

"Oh, there's nothing! auntie didn't say anything" Jasmine denied with a smile that never dated from her lips. However, Jasmine's smile did not inflate perfectly, it was precisely more towards the 'clumsy' direction'.

"But, he really does look like Ardan. Not just the face, the nature is the same. But, there's no way he has anything to do with Ardan. Perhaps this was just a coincidence," there was another inner war in Jasmine's mind.

"Sorry Aunt, Aby wants to go back to the room, okay? because there's something Aby's working on in the room."

"Oh, bo-get!" Aby immediately went into the room, after hearing Jasmine who had allowed her.

"Damn! I can be nervous in front of a child. But he's not like a kid, he's an adult hiding in a kid's body," inner Jasmine with a gaze that could not be separated towards the door of the room that the little boy had just entered but was acting mature.

"Hey, why daydream? what's up?" Jasmine gasped in shock, as soon as Amanda appeared with a tray filled with drinks on it.

"No pa-pa, Nda!" elak Jasmine's.

"Drink first! sorry, there's just that" Amanda pointed to the cold sweet tea she had placed on the table.

"It's okay, Nda!"

"Oh yeah, now it's your turn to tell me, where's your husband? is he working now? is he handsome?" amanda's lash out, without giving Jasmine a chance to answer.

"It's one-to-one, Nda? I'm confused which answer I used to be."

Amanda chuckled at the protest Jasmine was throwing. " It's up to you to answer what you used to be."

Jasmine took a deep breath first, then she exhaled it back out. "If you ask him he is handsome or not, he replies 'yes' he is very handsome. If the problem is that he is now working or not, it can be not." Jasmine's speech feels ambiguous so that it causes wrinkles on Amanda's forehead.

"You mean? why don't you know if your husband is working or not?"

"I'm married, yes. But maybe now he's not my husband anymore. Because I'm sure she signed the divorce papers I sent her." Jasmine's bead looked like it was full of clear liquid that she was still trying to keep from coming out.

"Please tell me the story clearly, don't be a riddle, because I don't understand at all. Why did you divorce your husband? is he not a good husband?"

Jasmine shook her head. "He was a good and responsible husband. But he never loved me. She loves another woman, Nda!" the clear liquid that he tried to bend so as not to come out, finally managed to escape and seeped wet Jasmine's cheeks.

Amanda flinched, trying to digest what Jasmine had just said.

"Jas, I'm getting confused! how can you marry a man who doesn't love you, and Celyn?" Amanda hung her words in the air, as she was sure, Jasmine could definitely grasp the meaning of her words, without having to ask at length.

"Hmm, obviously we were married not because of love. We got married because of something I can't explain to you right now.But, over time, in my heart began to grow seeds of love for her, and I never regret marrying her. During our marriage, she never touched me at all. Until one day, he came home drunk, and you must know what happened. I was so happy when I found myself pregnant with her child. I wish she could love me with her child in my womb. Turns out I was wrong. He still loves the girl he's been looking for. As long as I was pregnant, she was responsible and attentive to my womb, but only to my womb, not to me. At first I still chose to stay, after Jocelyn was born wishing she could love me after I gave birth to a child for her. I was wrong again, Nda. I finally decided to take Cellyn away, at the age of 6 months. But, first I left the divorce papers on the table. I'm sure that by now he must have signed it." Jasmine explained at length, without taking a pause at all.

"Therefore, I opened a flower shop and received orders.Since Celyn was not there to take care, I was forced to take her along when I had to deliver flower orders." Jasmin explained.
