JORDAN
Chapter 56's

The car carrying Jordan and his family finally stopped in the courtyard of the minimalist luxury house. The man got out of the car in a hurry, to make sure the news he received was true. Jordan's heart was shaken. He still could not believe the news that Daniel told his wife over the phone yesterday.

Jordan was able to see the existence of people around him, also remember all his past, but he still has not healed a total—The psychiatrist has not allowed Jordan to go home until his emotions are stable. However, at night after knowing the news

happy about Jordan's improved mental state, Daniel called

Lionara and tell the next sad news, namely the death of Josep.

Lionara hesitated to tell Jordan the news. He was afraid Jordan would

lost his sanity again. But, Lionara has no other way, Jordan

must know the news of his father's death. Therefore, with caution Lionara

forced to tell the news it—and the reaction Jordan showed was just an attitude

flat only. There was no sad expression, no tears flowing. Jordan

just silently looked at Lionara, then nodded slowly in response to

dispelling fear in Lionara's eyes.

Nahas, it looks like the news they received is true. When entering, there were already many people who came to take Josep's departure to his resting place

last. They are now just waiting for the arrival of Jordan and his family.

Jordan could see a chest placed in the middle of the room, with Rossalyn continuing to cry bitterly while hugging the chest. The situation of the woman

very messy, his face pale with swollen eyes— really

devastated and very lost. Besides Rossalyn, there is also a faithful Daniel

embracing the mother's shoulder as if giving strength. The man was as messy as Rossalyn, the difference is Daniel can still control himself.

Jordan was fixated, the man still could not move from his place. Both hands

clenching firmly until the veins protrude. Not likely. It must be an illusion.

It feels like just yesterday Josep came to save him like a pahlwan. And for months at the mental clinic, Josep still faithfully visited him, apologized every day and told him many moments of togetherness they used to be.

“Jo...” Lionara called out softly, he gently removed Jordan's fist and grasped it tightly. “You want to see daddy, don't you, baby?”

Jordan's heart was broken, Lionara could feel it. Especially when the man turned to her with a glazed net. Jordan's mouth still hadn't come out any sentences, but Lionara clearly understood the meaning of the highlight. Lionaras

smiling wistfully, he kissed the back of Jordan's hand before then with

gently led her husband's steps before the chest.

The emergence of Jordan and Lionara made the room that had been filled by crying, immediately silent. Even Rossalyn stopped her crying and stared at the arrival of her stepson. Seeing that, Daniel gently pulled the frail body

his mother retreated to make room for Jordan to look at his father.

Everyone in the room knew how complicated Josep and Jordan had been. Even the infidelity of the father and son has become a media meal and a free spectacle of business people among them. Jordan the troublemaker and Josep the light-handed. But Josep will be the one

fix all the mess Jordan created. Their relationship, like water and oil, can never come together.

Jordan's hand squeezed the edge of the crate, looking at Josep's deathly pale face.

It was obvious that the blood was no longer flowing all over his body

rigid oblong.

For a moment Jordan was silent, confused what to do. There was a huge hole gaping so wide in his heart at this moment. Jordan's brain tuned the memory

by itself.

Since childhood, Jordan was so fond of his father. Jordan loved Josep so much, and wanted to be like her. Josep is a super hero to Jordan, who teaches men to be strong, not to cry and must

protecting family. He was the only son of Josep and Grace.

That short happiness made Jordan miss. A time when the family had not been destroyed and took him to a dark room. Making him hate Josep, traumatizing him after witnessing the tragic misfortune that befell Grace. Jordan had no idea what was wrong to the point that his so warm family turned into a polar cave that froze the warmth itself.

“Dad,” and after so many years, Jordan finally called Josep by the name of his pride.

“Why has daddy changed? why can't daddy love mommy? Why are you selfish and not caring about my feelings?” Jordan asked quietly, barely audible.

“I haven't even said ‘iya’ to all your apologies during these four months. But look now at your stiffened body like this. Where's figure

Josep Christopher is so handsome and proud? Why when I have

considering everything, all I found was your body?”

Silent.

Jordan swallowed his saliva bitterly. “I don't really hate daddy. I. just get angry.

at you. I'm angry because daddy's always busy. I am angry at the falsity of your harmonious relationship. I'm angry that daddy has another woman besides mommy. I'm angry to see you're more concerned about your wife and other children than we are. And I'm so mad that daddy didn't come to save me and mom when

it!”

Spilling already, Jordan's tears were rushing down his cheeks. The man couldn't resist

tightness in his chest. He wants to explode. I want to scream angry, but I can't. Yang

all he could do was cry in front of his own father's corpse. Candor

Josep has for four months managed to tear down his wall of hate in recent years. Every day Josep always came to see him by dragging his weak body, asking for forgiveness and crying bitterly at his feet.

Everyone who saw Jordan couldn't help but cry. Jordan revealed all the pain that had been buried in his heart.

Who would have thought the man who had been famous for creating the riot, in fact

keep a very wet wound.

“Jo...” Lionara mutters sadly. It feels really painful to see the fragility of her husband at this time. The woman hugged tightly onto Jordan's waist from the side.

“You're selfish. I haven't even fully recovered from the madness you've created. What kind of parents are you? If you cannot accept each other, why should you

bring me to this world?” Jordan still cries. He revealed everything at that moment. I wish my mom and dad would hear what Jordan said.

Can't take it anymore, Lionara cradled full of Jordan's shaking body. “Udah dear, enough.” whispered hoarse “He has rested quietly. You have to explain everything, right? You still have me and Jay who will replace all your pain with happiness.”

****

Josep's body has been buried. Now they all returned to the funeral home to entertain many people who came to mourn the passing of Josep

Christopher. Not a few important people were present. The Jordan Family

the ones on different continents also came.

As a businessman who had great influence, the news of Josep's death was covered by

the gate, because the guests who arrived also did not escape carrying the flower arrangement, especially Josep's colleagues.

Minus Jordan, the Christopher men are still busy welcoming business associates

those who keep coming. Lionara and Jesica helped out

head of the house to welcome other guests. And Lydia, though,

the woman is still trying to calm down Rossalyn who looks depressed over the departure of her husband in the room. Until the two Rossalyn twins were forced to be evacuated to another room by their caregivers to avoid Rossalyn's sudden rampage that could recur.

“Lio, you better go to Jordan's friend's room. I'm worried about him.” Jesica, though,

that girl always cared about Jordan.

“What am I staying for?”

Jesica. “Go, there are many servants here. Brother Jordan is more

need you.”

Lionara. “Good. Thank you Jesica,” he smiled goodbye

thumbs up by Jesica.

As Lionara entered the room, Jordan's eyes shifted to her. Jordan is sitting in

the floor, leaning against the foot of the bed with one knee bent, is

the other is selonjor. The man forced a smile towards Lionara

with his own look. Lionara sat beside Jordan, pulling her husband

for him to hug. Directly Jordan returned Lionara's embrace. Since then a hug

this is what he was waiting for. Jay was sleeping, so nothing could divert the tightness in his heart.

No conversation for a few minutes. Lionara only heard Jordan's heavy breathing. Although Jordan did not cry, Lionara knew her husband was

wistful.

“I love your scent, mommy. There's a smell of Jay's powder too,” a watered down Jordan

Lionara further tightened his embrace, giving Jordan more strength. Lionara is no less sad to see the condition of Jordan, given all the bitterness that

jordan— went throughit was so stifling. But Lionara tried not to cry. At the moment he has to be strong, if he is weak, how can Jordan

lean on him. And for whatever reason, this consciousness of her husband has just returned,

but it was as if he wanted to put his mentality back on.

If Jordan's determination to recover is not strong, then it does not rule out the possibility

Jordan is going back down.

“From anywhere? Since I was waiting for you,” Jordan said because Lionara was silent.

“Sorry, I helped others welcome guests.” Reply Lionara trying to toughen up.

Lionara was about to untangle his embrace, but Jordan tightened the embrace even more. Jordan didn't want to take off their embrace. Since Jordan was currently crying in silence, he did not want Lionara to see him cry anymore.

Lionara's hand gently patted Jordan's shoulder many times. Calm the man. And the more Jordan gains that power, the weaker his heart becomes. Her chest

getting crowded because it withholds the stuffing.

“Don't hold, dear. Cry if it can make you relieved.” Lionara knows

her husband has been holding her.

“I've forgiven him.” Jordan started telling me in a raucous tone “I remember, Dad always came to visit me to apologize while crying. He who used to look haughty, turned into a very fragile figure. I look

the greatest regret in his eyes, and it managed to create a wall of hate

I have been building up all this time because of it. I thought, even to death I wouldn't

I can forgive him, but I was wrong. As much as I hate, that's how big I am

loved her. I lost, mommy..”.

Lionara shook his head, his tears fell but hurriedly followed him. “You don't lose daddy, instead you win. You're terrific. You managed to untie the shackles of the bond of hatred that wrapped around your conscience all along. You also win against your trauma. And it makes me very happy and proud of you.” Lionara's tears trickled down as a sense of relief burst into her chest. He peeped at the top of the man's head.

“Promise me, you will never leave me. If you do that then I will be completely destroyed. I don't want to lose any more.” Jordan's voice shook, so desperate and sad every word that said. He even sobbed. “I pretend to be strong but

honestly I’m weak that I need someone to hold me. And it’s you.”

Lionara broke his embrace, he cupped the face of Jordan who was rushing to shed tears. Gently, Lionara removed the clear feather with both of his thumbs. Iris they pounded each other in.

“I'll never leave you, daddy. You and Jay are my life now. And. loved this much by you, how could I possibly go again. Never. Trust me,”

Hearing Lionara's words made Jordan's heart peaceful. Lionara's words were like a spell that managed to bewitch Jordan's heart. No need for medicine, enough Lionara who accompanied him until the end of his life. Jordan just needs Lionara. That'sthat's all.

“I love you, mommy.”

“I love you more, daddy.”
