I Think, I Love You
Raining
Jeremy arrives at the Davies Family residence. The time is 04pm, which means Jimmy and Eve will be home soon.
Jere dropped Irene's big suitcase, not heavy. Unlike its shape which even reaches the waist. He opened the door and let Irene in. Of course, the young girl was welcomed by Bi Asih and the maids who worked there because they had not met Irene for a long time.
Jere chose to take Irene's suitcase to her room first. The room was the same size as the room was already prepared for the guests of anyone who came, but this time it seems Irene will become the owner of the room because she has officially returned home, after completing his studies in Italy.
"Nothing changed" Irene entered the room and put down her bag. Then sit down and stretch his muscles.
Jere nodded. Then come sit next to Irene, on the white bed. "You look healthy despite living alone there" Jere turned to Irene, throwing a smile trying to melt a slightly different atmosphere from a few years ago. Of course, because they are adults now.
"I can even do everything myself" Irene said excitedly. "I can lift a gallon of water" then show me his arm muscles that are not as big. There aren't. It only shows smooth muscles that he deliberately tightens so that he looks muscular
Haha. Jere laughs.
"Thank God. You're growing up well. Papa must be proud of you"
"Yes. I'm proud to have you too"
"Now, take a bath. Isohat first. Papa and mama will be home soon" Jere got up and went to the room, passed the door line and pulled the handle. Door closes.
Irene breathed a sigh of relief. He threw himself into the well-kept mattress. Look at the ceiling of the room in clean white. His mind drifted far into the past. When Heny, Omanya dies from cancer and says goodbye for the last time. At that time Irene was 15 years old, was sitting on the bench of High School and since then she also followed the family of Jere. And become the adopted son of the father he always wanted since childhood, Jimmy.
He even became a child for some time. Who the real father is is also unknown until now. He doesn't even want to know, Jimmy's enough. Jere's father was enough of a father figure for him.
Even willing to put him in the land of the people, where he was born. To remember his poor mother.
Where else would Irene find a family this good? He will never break his promise to be a filial son to Jimmy and Eve.
He switched on the picture frame above the closet in the corner of the room. He was there, too, between Jere and Jean. Ahh he's so proud to be there.
Not wanting to be trapped in the past, Irene chose to get up and tidy up her luggage. Then clean up before meeting her parents later.

Shania's home. Rain, he didn't bring an umbrella because he was in a hurry. Inevitably he took the rain towards the bus stop. The rain is not too heavy, but enough to wet his hair and make his clothes moist.
Unfortunately again, the bus to his apartment did not come even though he had waited 30 minutes. He was shivering because the air was cold and the wind was blowing strong plus his clothes were already moist.
He ordered a taxi online. But 10 minutes have passed and no one has taken his order.
A long time ago, he just hugged his body while rubbing his hands.
It's dark. The rain did not subside, it was getting thicker accompanied by lightning and lightning. He should have accepted Vivian's offer to take her home together. Husses.
Shania can make sure she gets sick, her body is prone to cold. He tried to find another way to get out of this gripping situation. Reopening his phone and accidentally there is news that the bus line is closed because the tree fell.
"No one passes" he said.
The only person who can help her is the man she always thought was annoying.Jere.
Shania looks for Jere's contact, but before finding his name. The man called first.
"Shan, where are you?" ask her when Shania has already received the call.
"I'm at the bus stop near the office. Can you come here?" Shania asked without further ado. His body feels heavy.
And it was true that Jere arrived after 5 minutes of waiting, stretched out her umbrella and gave her jacket to Shania,
"I didn't bring anything in the car. Rub your hands. So that your body temperature goes up"
Feeling Shania a little troubled, Jere helped cupped her hands. Rubbing her, then hugging Shania. Ducting his body warmly on Shania. No matter if there are some people at the stop.
"Just keep it here. I'd better take you home"
Shania said nothing, she just followed Jere who led her to the car.
"You're wet, let go"
They left the bus stop, choosing another way to avoid traffic jams due to fallen trees.
"I'll make you some warm tea. I ordered dinner for you too. And here's your medicine" Jere gave Shania a warm cup of tea, "Hold" Je took Shania's hand so that she would hold the cup, so that the warmth would flow into her body.
They arrived 10 minutes ago at Shania's apartment, the girl had changed into her warm clothes.
"Why do you know I'm at the stop?"
"I remember you were at the office. So I'm guessing you're stuck in traffic or rain"
"Oh"
Shania was oh short, and then drank her tea slowly.
"Oh? You're ignorant. Already know rain allergies, still lashed"
"You better go home" Shania won't get dizzy hearing Jere's babbling.
"You're not thanking me?"
"Didn't you prefer a meal treaty, rather than a thank you?" Shania answered cynically. And Jere grinning the horse justifying Shania's speech.
"I'm not going home"
"I'm fine"
"I'm not going home. Look at the latest news, stuck everywhere due to flooding at some point. The one in my car was taken away by the water" She said loudly, Shania nodded she misinterpreted Jere's intentions, She thought Jere didn't want to go home because she was worried about him.
Shania is too pity.
Bell rings.
Food arrived. Jere rushed towards the door and received his order. After a few minutes, he brought the warm porridge and soup to Shania.
"Eat. After that take the medicine"
"I ordered the catfish pecel that you brought me to eat yesterday" he said shyly.
Shania gawking. It was unexpected that Jere liked pecel lele.
