JORDAN
Chapter 31
Love yahh
.

With
trembling body and puffy eyes, Lionara came out of the bathroom. Nonexistent
Jordan's in that room. Maybe tonight Jordan won't sleep in the room
with her, remembering how great the man's anger was at her. Lionaras
sitting on the bed after changing
clothes with sleeping pajamas. His face was fixed to the ceiling of the room
again, the clear circle again flowed from the corner of his eye.
Lionaras
didn't expect this day to end in chaos. It was chaos because
his short wits kept him filled with deep guilt. Exeptness
helping Daniel was misunderstood by Jordan—to assume if he was intertwined
love Daniel behind him. Her husband even equated Lionara
with his father who betrayed his mother. Though never once
it came to his mind to betray the man. Lionara was even very appreciative
their marriage, though, started the wrong way.
But
this incident was his fault, too. That's right Jordan said,
he shouldn't have helped Daniel, there are a lot of people
who is ready to be asked for help—only, his heart was really not hearty
saw Daniel in that condition.
Lionaras
he breathed to neutralize his feelings. Never mind, maybe tomorrow he will
tried to speak and apologized back to Jordan when the man was already
feel calm. Well, hopefully Jordan will listen to the explanation tomorrow.
Lionaras
put his feet on the bed and pull the blanket to sleep, but without
his eyes caught two pink objects on the sofa.
His forehead puckered in the last time out of the room this morning, he remembered
those two things weren't there. Curious, he got down and walked
approaching that thing.
Moments
until, Lionara crouched down and could see clearly if it was a group
pink roses are knitted in doll form and a sprig of pink roses inside
glass container. So pretty. Not only that, inside the doll's embrace as well
there was a small black box with greeting cards on it. Lionara take
the card and the black box—opened the box first and found its contents
is a gold barcelet on which is engraved the word Dad in the follow heart symbol. Then he read the contents in the card
that saying.
Do you know Mommy, do you,
actually what special gift I have for you on this special day? Will place 24
hot kisses on your lips to celebrate your 24th birthday. But, the problem is,
your lips may end up burning up before I plant the 24th kiss. Happy birthday, though,
my sweet's.
Your lucky husbands.
Jordanian.
Lionara's left hand smothered his mouth. His shoulders up and down, followed
a little stuffing that escaped his mouth. In fact, all three things were on him
now this is the birthday hadia that Jordan has prepared
to him.

Temporal
that, in a work space with minimal lighting, Jordan kept vertical wine from
the vial. And it was the fifth bottle he had spent in the space of one
the clock. Jordan never got drunk near anyone else. But, he will drink a lot
if alone when his heart and mind are in chaos. And his current mess
because of the woman he loved. The woman who never welcomed
a feeling of love that always grows and takes root in every second of being together
them. Evidently, from the reply Lionara who still met with Daniel in the
behind him secretly— and this time the meeting reached the apartment
daniel's person thus made his heart burn with anger.
“Arrghhhh!!!
Fuckkkk!!” jordan shouted, comparing the strong beer bottle in his hand to
ruptures. His breath hunted, his face and eyes flushed with the veins of his neck
stand out from unguided anger. The tightness in his chest was rampant
every time I remember that.
Treacheries
it was hard for Jordan to forgive. It was his father who betrayed his mother
blatantly and now Lionara is doing the same to her.
Even for the Lionara case, Jordan is still not too sure if his wife is
totally betrayed him. But, still his heart was very disappointed when with
lionara forgets their promise and leaves with Daniel.
Doesn't she know how enthusiastic and impatient Jordan has been all day
this was in preparing a surprise party for him, to the point of ignoring the meeting
important with shareholders.
Shakelessness
Jordan stepped closer to his desk. He sat there and grabbed the frame
photo of a beautiful woman with a handsome baby who is sleeping inside
his lap. The figure is the mother and herself when the baby. Jordan's hand caressed the photo with
crumb feeling dim.
“Should have
you didn't save me then. Look how sad life is
your son is now.” his mess is raucous “I don't think my fate will be as upset as you are,
but I'm actually more terrible.” Jordan laughs tastelessly “But.
Ma, this time I will not let go of what has been mine. Will
I'll make sure my son never loses the wholeness of his parents. Him
must be the happiest child, not lonely—like me.”
For
Jordan, Grace is the only one he's got, because he doesn't feel enough
the warmth of a father's affection. Since childhood, Grace was the one who
it has always been his home. Scold her, love her, wipe away tears,
welcome him at home in a state of joy and sorrow.
Heads
Jordan was bowing bitterly at the table. In the darkness of his study, the man
letting her tears drip down without a sound. It has been a long time that he has not
crying out. Pitying himself when remembering the Mama accompanied tight
who blushed in the chest due to his disappointment with Lionara.
Second
his hand was clutching a picture of Grace. The sadness and the sense of loss that it
hold it for years spilled just like that. Body's shaking. Blubbering
voiceless. But the pain will be felt for anyone who sees it.

Lionaras
arrange the breakfast that he had cooked earlier from home on the office pantry table.
After that, he mastered the coffee maker, then took the coffee beans from the shelf
the one above his head. He waited for the machine to process the coffee.
Moments
jordan was not home. The man went to the office more
it was earlier than usual, and Lionara knew the cause. Jordan avoided it.
The man's anger has not subsided. But Lionara can't just stay
just shut up without doing anything to make their relationship improve.
Before he left for work, he cooked breakfast
for Jordan and he will give it later with the coffee he is making
this now.
“Hai, ,
Lionaras. The former ash hitchhiker who has now turned into Cinderella. How
your birthday was yesterday? Did my hadia impress you? How to react
Jordan sees his wife celebrating their birthday together
ex-lover?”
Voices
cynical it—Lionara knows him very well. Lionara clenched his hands. Twisted
his body was facing Rebeca.
“So
all this is you?” Lionara stared
sharp
“Oopss…
caught,” Rebeca shut up, smiling mockingly. “I just made a little
surprise for your birthday.”
Lionaras
your old man ruined my life?!”
Rebeca
snide laugh, “I've stopped. But, hear you're married to
the guy I love—it makes me so angry and I promise I won't
stay quiet to see you live quietly with Jordan. Jordan is mine. Him
from the beginning mine. A pathetic woman like you doesn't deserve to be together
with.”
“What
you think Jordan wants a snake girl like you?” decih Lionara “Your Face
beautiful, your eyes look peaceful and soothing. Your voice is soft and your attitude is
looks so perfect. But behind it all there is a demon who rules you.
Your heart is rotten and poisonous.” Lonara denounced the cold.
“Brave
once you talk like that about me!” Rebeca jerks, then advances on
fran—s slap into Lionara's face, but is quickly fended off by
Lionaras.
“Do not
this dirty hand of yours will touch me again.” The Lionara
losing sharply, jerking hard Rebeca's hand until the woman staggered slightly
backwards.
The coffee machine behind Lionara rang. Without
caring for Rebeca who was staring at him beaveringly, he picked up the coffee glass
then he was going to put it on a tray that contained the food he arranged
earlier, before his movement was stopped by Rebeca's denigrating remarks.
“You
must've trapped Jordan by sleeping with him, so he's willing to marry you,
wasn't he? Usually that's the way a lowly woman like you does it.
Slut.”
BYURR
“ARGGGHH!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Rebeca screams in pain from hot coffee
from Lionara.
“Itu
as a result of your insolent mouth.” Lionara said coldly
“Kau—“
“Ada
what is this?!”
Lionaras
jolted, his body froze as he looked at Jordan and Samuel behind him already
stand there watching them. Jordan came at a time when he was not
benefitting position.
“Jordan..”.
lirih Rebeca raucous with teary eyes.
Jordan
approaching and holding Rebeca's white arm reddened by splashing water
hot earlier—baju Rebeca also dirty.
“Tadi
I just wanted to help Nara make coffee, but somehow she got angry, and
be childish by watering me with hot coffee.” Rebeca said raucous.
“Dia
lying, Jo.” Lionara shook his head loudly.
“I
I knew from the beginning that Nara didn't like seeing me. Especially when I say if
we used to be very close, and that made him dislike me even more. Him
thought I'd snatch you from him.” Rebeca started sobbing.
“Do not
believe, Jo. She's a female snake—“
“DIAM!”
Jordan snaps. “Don't say anything. Now get into my room!”
With
face darkened, Jordan lifted the body Rebeca— held ala bridal then
take him out of there with long strides regardless of face
injured Lionara who was still pecking at his place with both hands clenched
robust.

Lionaras
look at the files on the sofa table with a blank look. Now it is
and Jordan was sitting face to face with the man who was still
busy staring at his tab. Fifteen minutes had passed, but both were
silence each other.
Occurrence
Jordan who saw him watering Rebeca with hot coffee is increasingly making
he looks bad in Jordan's eyes. Again, this guy will be wrong
understand him. Lionara gulps. He looked up, staring at the man
in front of him who put a flat face from behind his reading glasses.
“Jo-Jordan—“
“Starting
tomorrow and so on you do not need to come to the office again.” said Jordan
quickly and lightly.
Lionaras
froze. Shock, of course. I don't know if the first sentence
jordan's expulsion was her dismissal.
“Why?”
the question is barely heard “What does this have to do with the incident earlier?”
Jordan
shake. “This is my decision. I want to start tomorrow you stay at home and
focus on your content.”
“But
why suddenly? I don't want to just stay home.”
“I
not wanting to be denied, Lionara.” Jordan with a sharp look.
“Or are you afraid of not being able to meet your ex-lover again?”
he continued to accuse
“A-what?”
Lionara. “Why can't you trust me? How many times
I told you I don't have any relationship with Daniel anymore. We just
friends.”
“Then
so prove!” jordan's voice rose an octave
Lionaras
sighing to neutralize his feelings, trying to let out his voice.
The look in his eyes did not even slightly shift from Jordan.
“You
just have to obey all my words. Don't disappoint me again.” timpal
Jordan flat. He got up and walked to his desk.
Lionaras
forward, grabbing Jordan's arm to turn around, but the man remained unmoved. Eye
lionara glazed.
“I
please forgive me. Everything you saw yesterday was not like you
infer. I never betrayed you. I was just helping Daniel. No
more.”
“Chemation
your stuff and go home.” Jordan brushed off Lionara's hand “I don't want to
hear anything again.”
“Jordan..”.
raau Lionara's. His gaze was sweet, his feelings were not out of whack.
Jordan
ignoring, he took a step forward and sat behind his desk.
“One
again, apologize to Rebeca. He's hurt because of your childish actions.”
Lionaras
shake. My gaze turned sharp but there was bitterness in it.
“For
that one I won't apologize for. He's at fault.” firmly Lionara “I
rumah.” he added then turned towards the exit. But when I touch the knob
door, the movement stopped. Lionara looked over from behind his shoulder.
“Accept
love for the hadia you gave. Sorry to disappoint you..” Lionara said with.
the bitter tone before coming out left Jordan in his silence.
