I Think, I Love You
There I am here

"Shanie?"

"Why didn't you say you were coming here..?" Linda's mother Tom was shocked when she opened the door, hugging and kissing Shania's cheeks like a new child back.

Marshal, Tom's father walked to the door to hear the surprise of his wife "Shania??" his question was no less surprised, then his gaze turned to the sweet-faced man behind Shania, "Where is Tom? why don't you come with me?" the question that Shania had guessed earlier.

"Hmm, come in first, we'll have a chat inside" Linda pulled Shania and Jeremy's hands in.

"Tante, Om how are you?" shania asked as she entered the lavish living room, not much had changed, all the same as when she was still living here.

"We are well and sound, please sit down" Marshal replied with his wife as a father.

"Hmm, I'm also a good aunt, I'm here with Jeremy" Shania turned to Jeremy, the man sitting next to her with an awkward and clumsy face.

"I'm Jeremy Om, aunty to his friend Shania" said Jeremy lowered his head politely to introduce himself.

"I originally agreed with Tom to make a pilgrimage to papa's tomb, and will come here, but suddenly he could not because of work" obviously Shania while giving a paper bag containing souvenirs for her two prospective in-laws.

"The kid's habit" Grumbled the Marshal in an almost inaudible voice.

"I brought my favorite durian pancake aunt and om, and Tom, forgive him, next time he'll be home soon to see om and aunt" Shania's voice was so gentle and forgiving, even on Tom's behalf he's the one apologizing.

"Thank you Shan, you've bothered to come here without Tom. even more bother to bring aunty and om food"

"No fuss, auntie"

"Then, how's your relationship with Tom? have you been thinking more seriously?" linda asked to switch seats next to Shania, clutching her hand and asking for the seriousness of the answer.

Jeremy immediately turned his head, his face fixedly looking at Shania waiting for the answer to what this friend would say.

Shania is pensive for a moment, her relationship and Tom is not as good as the couple in general, just accompanying lunch Tom always refuses to meet, even if he meets he is always busy with his cellphone.

"Me and Tom are both aunts, but we haven't talked about anything as serious as aunty meant" Shania replied innocently as she was, but with a hint of a lie.

"Thank God, auntie hope you're okay. forgive her if you ever hurt you" Linda cupped Shania's hand, her eyes twinkle sincerely asking her future daughter-in-law to love her son sincerely.

Jeremy looked away, wanted to make it feel like he was laughing at their conversation.Well, Shania said? jeremy knows that Shania and Tom's relationship is nothing more than a meeting without any certainty.

"Jeremy..!" marshal's voice made Jeremy fall out of his mind, he looked up at the source of the male voice before him.

"Yes, what's wrong?" the question is a little stiff, though,

"Your name is Jeremy Davies, right?" ask Marshal again to make sure,

"Yes, how do you know?"

"Om knows your father, but not very well" answered Marshal briefly,

"Ohhhh.." Jeremy nodded, he did not want to discuss his family further here, frankly he was a little uncomfortable visiting Tom's parents' house.

After an hour has passed,

Shania and Jeremy resigned because they would soon return to Jakarta,

As Shania said at the hotel, she took the place of Jeremy driving, and Jeremy sat quietly beside the wheel, there was no conversation between them, until Jeremy opened his mouth first,

"If you're tired of saying yes, don't take it. I don't want to die because the driver sleepily hit the crossroads" Jeremy said without turning from his phone.

"I don't want to"

And there was no more conversation between them. Until they arrived at the rest area, they stopped to eat and rest, after feeling enough they continued the journey back and this time Jeremy who was driving, and this time, there are 5 hours left to get to the capital.

"Pair your seatbelt, sleep if you want to sleep" asked Jeremy as he turned the car steering out of the parking area, towards the inter-provincial tollgate they will pass through.

"All right"

This time Shania did not protest much, she immediately closed her eyes with both hands hugging her body, it seemed like she was a bit cold.

1 hour

2 hour

Jeremy turned to the woman next to him, the seat back that had not been lowered made Shania's head was very weak to and fro, he pulled over his car and immediately lowered the seat back, he said, giving his jacket hanging on the back seat of the car to Shania so as not to get cold.

"Other times we use the plane if we want to come here again" he said to return the car.

At 02 am,

They arrive at Shania's apartment. With great difficulty, Jeremy wakes up Shania but thankfully the woman wakes up easily this time. Half-consciously he looks at Jeremy's slightly upset face looking at him.

"We get to Shan, let me drive you up" Jeremy walked out of the car around and opened the door next to Shania,

Shania looked limp, she was not yet fully aware of her sleepiness. He gets out of the car and walks over, Jeremy faithfully breaks it down slowly, like being drunk is what Shania describes.

"Sir, please have my car parked here for a while, I'm just dropping off Shania" Jeremy said, asking for help with the security guard in the lower lobby,

After arriving at Shania's apartment unit, Jeremy opens it, knowing the smart code because Shania has been told a long time ago.

"Papa.." The moment after lying on her bed, Shania was shut up, no matter what happened to her.

"Shan, I'll go home. Call me if you need anything" said Jeremy after he finished taking off his shoes and jacket on Shania's body, cover it and get some water and put it on the nightstand so that the woman can easily drink if thirsty later,

"Papa.. " Shania's voice stopped Jeremy's footsteps as he was about to leave the room, he turned to look at my face Shania behind the blanket.

"Papa.." so on, Shania was delirious. Jeremy undoes his intention, he goes back to Shania. check the temperature of his forehead when he has a fever, but no. he does not have a fever, the temperature is normal.

Jeremy sat on the edge of the bed, holding Shania's hand to calm her down, many times he tried to wake her up but Shania remained unguarded.

"Papa.." his delirium again,

"Shan, do I have to stay here?" Jeremy is worried, he takes Shania into his arms.stroke Shania's back as he often does when Shania is crying.

"Shan, you're not alone. There I am" he whispered in Shania's ear.he himself knew the heavy burden that Shania was facing, it was not easy.

After a while Shania stopped calling her papa, Jeremy stretched out a hug and laid Shania in a comfortable position.

At 04 am, morning,

Jeremy went back to his apartment. However, he must go home, today there is a photo shoot with the leading magazine, of course he does not want to ruin the initial plan that has been planned by his management.

"Tom..."
