"I already knew. You are the one, Alice."
Alice's eyes widened in confusion at what Jordi had said.
"I can kiss you without any obstacles at all. No more visions of a woman crying or me kissing a woman whose face I don't recognize at all," Jordi interjected with sparkling eyes.
"But, Jor."
"No ... there's no 'but'." It's been five years since we broke up. I want you and Luke! And next, I also want Luke to have a sibling."
"Oh my God ... your thoughts are so far-fetched."
Jordi chuckled to himself, as if the future plan felt so real in front of him.
"We're getting married tomorrow, right?"
"HAH! Are you crazy?" Is it that easy to get married?" protested Alice, spontaneously hitting Jordi's head.
"Easy! Just go straight to the marriage officiant. Done."
"Ew ... "
"Or do you want to be proposed to in a romantic way?"
"Not like that, Jor."
"So what's your problem?" Jordi asked.
"The problem
"Good morning!" Jordi greeted with a very wide smile, even though Luke was sitting on his lap rubbing his eyes and one hand hugging Jordi's neck."Morning!" Alice replied with a smile as well.It feels like the morning atmosphere is so warm because Jordi is with Luke. The child immediately clings to Jordi, and there's a slight worry that Jordi might leave Luke. Somehow, Luke will get hurt later."Morning, Aunt.""Good morning too, Jordi," replied Ranti, still stiff with Jordi."Let's eat first," Alice invited. Traditional Indonesian dishes are already on the table. Rice, fried chicken, fried tempeh, fried tofu, and raw vegetables. Don't forget the fresh sambal as well."The food smells so good. I miss this kind of cooking," remarked Jordi."Wash your face first, then brush your teeth. Only then can we eat together," Alice ordered."Ready, MADAM! Let's go to the bathroom."Luke nodded slowly.The father and son qui
*Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium"Daddy, the fish are nice and big," exclaimed Luke, who was very amazed by the large aquarium."Yeah .. do you like it?""Really like it.""Next time, let's go here again.""Yes. Thanks, daddy. You are the best."Jordi was very fond of his very polite child. Alice and Ranti taught Luke very well.After finishing playing there, they got into the car. Luke was already asleep in the back due to exhaustion, along with Ranti. Meanwhile, Jordi and Alice were in the front."Are you happy today?""Of course. As long as Luke is happy, I'm happy too.""Hmm ... before I take you home, I want to pick up my suitcase at the hotel first.""You said we didn't need to bring it ... suddenly you want to take it," Alice teased."Hehe ... I want to check out from the hotel.""Why?""Why pay for an expensive hotel when I already have a house with you and Luke? It's better
Jordi smiled cynically at Anita. "It doesn't matter if Alice doesn't love me. I will tirelessly make her love me. I will keep trying until she loves me, I will do anything and I will never let Alice go forever.""JORDI! Why don't you love me at all? For these five years, do you have no feelings for me at all?"whispered Anita while sobbing uncontrollably. She felt like the most hurt person in the world, trapped because she loved Jordi, but Jordi didn't love her.Jordi let out a harsh sigh. He has to face Anita with a cool head."I've tried. But it really doesn't work. "I've told you many times that I can only picture one woman, and it shouldn't be you," Jordi explained, trying to suppress his emotions towards Anita.Anita fell silent. The proof for Jordi to know who the woman is that always appears in every dream and intimacy with Anita is only through physical touch, including kissing. All this time, Jordi had never kissed her because he was block
"Just guess." teased Jordi, who smiled so charmingly."Hm ... it seems like your memory is coming back.""Haha ... no. I'm still in amnesia." Jordi laughed upon hearing Alice's response."Then ... " Alice furrowed her brow. She was confused by Jordi, who seemed to know everything."Hmm, yesterday when I was sleeping in your room. I woke up and accidentally read your diary. Sorry," said Jordi honestly while putting on an innocent face."Oh my God ... you read someone else's book carelessly," protested Alice while pinching Jordi's left side."Ouch ... your pinch really hurts." Jordi groaned in pain."Let it be! Feel it ... who told you to read someone else's diary without permission?""That's a sign from God, suddenly I found your diary." Jordi laughed happily.It seems that God has indeed shown the way to Jordi so that he can know everything correctly."I feel like I put that diary in the cupboa
"That's not how the concept works. Clean your brain first! You sleep with Luke, I sleep with mom," Alice insisted."Well, who knows, you might want to sleep with me. I promise it's just sleeping. Not more than that. I won't be naughty, I promise.""I don't want to! I don't trust you. If it gets found out, I could be really embarrassed in front of mom and Luke.""So if they're not around, you would want to sleep with me, right?" teased Jordi with his flirtatious eyes."No way," Alice refused."Oh my God..." Jordi shook his head while looking at Alice in disbelief. "You've already had one child with me, and you're still acting so high and mighty. I already lay eggs with you.""Lay eggs? Do you really think I'm a chicken?" protested Alice."Haha ... Jordi's favorite sexy fried chicken," Jordi chuckled to himself."Amnesia or not, you haven't changed. Your perverted brain is hopeless," Alice teased while tapping Jor
"Please help me talk to my mom so that she doesn't disturb me and Alice. I already have a child with Alice. I want my family to stay intact. Not forced to marry another woman.""Okay. I will talk to your mom. Hopefully, she will listen.""Thank you, Uncle." said Jordi.The next day, Uncle Eric went to Norita's place, as Jordi's request."Hi, Nori," Eric called to his sister-in-law."What's wrong, Eric?" Norita stopped her work and looked towards her brother-in-law."I want to talk about Jordi.""What's wrong with Jordi?""I think he has become very mature. You can't interfere too much in Jordi's affairs anymore.""What are you talking about? I don't understand.""Jordi loves a woman named Alice and I think, you shouldn't separate them.""Hey, don't interfere in my family's affairs!" Norita insisted."Nori, no matter what, I really care about Jordi. I consider him like my own c
"Yes, Mom. I have found my life. Not with Anita. The woman who has always been in my dreams is ALICE! And we already have a child! You already have a grandchild.""No! This is impossible. That woman must be lying to you, Jor! Don't let yourself be deceived. That child must be hers with another man. She's a cheap woman, Jor!" Norita sounded panicked."Mom, this is funny. There's no way my child is another man's child.""Alice is a woman who sells herself to many men, Jor!" Norita stood her ground. "She is not a good woman for you. She is a very wicked woman. Please, don't get caught up. Your best match is only Anita. She is the one who truly loves you with all her heart.""Do you still remember a few days ago when I asked for a photo of me when I was little?""What's the matter with that?""My child's face looks exactly like mine when I was little. His behavior is also just like mine. His allergy is the same as mine. Then, how cou
"I can't. How could I take back what I've already said?"Jordi refused."Enough... if you go back with your mom, she definitely won't cause any trouble for me and Luke," Alice refused, not wanting to deal with Norita at all. Alice was quite terrified at the thought of meeting Norita again. That woman was very cruel to her and always intimidated her whenever they met.Jordi immediately grabbed Alice's hand and looked at her intently."I promise, my mom won't be able to do anything to you, Luke, and Aunt Ranti." said Jordi with a very convincing expression to his girlfriend."How can you be so sure? Five years ago, it was so terrifying. I don't want to go through that again!" Alice insisted. "Especially since I already have Luke. I don't want to do anything that would put Luke in danger."Alice felt like crying. She was too scared to face Norita again after five years of living in peace."Calm down, dear! It won't be like five years
"Forgive us, Abi," Norita interjected, truly at a loss for words to be forgiven by Abi and her family. After what they did to Jordi and for Jordi's safety. Norita feels very indebted. But, she realized that her child's married life couldn't be forced. "Sorry? Then what about my child's mental health? How will you take responsibility for it?" Abi asked, full of emotion and sarcasm. "What can we do to make up for everything?" Alexander looked resigned. It's up to Abi how he wants it. As long as he can do it, Alex and Norita will do anything to get forgiveness from Abi and his family. After all, they are good friends. "Are Jordi and Anita getting married?" Abi stated firmly. Meanwhile, his wife next to him said nothing. "It can't, Abi." "Why?" "Jordi ... marrying under duress is very bad." Not good for Anita either. "Your excuses are too many, Nori. Anita is very much in love with Jordi. She is even now sulking in her room after you said that Jordi has a child with that cheap wom
"Hmm ... later we will talk alone, Darling. They might be very angry because it seems like we are playing with their daughter." Alexander interrupted.Norita nodded."I am very sorry, dear. If only I hadn't been so stubborn back then. Surely five years ago we would have been happy with Luke too.""No one knows. Good or bad fate, we still have to go through it."Norita nodded slowly, agreeing with her husband's words."Tomorrow we are going back to Singapura. We need to talk to Abi and his wife."Alexander nodded his head.*Jordi and Alice's bridal suite"Wow ... the room is really huge." Alice was very impressed by the size of the room and the decorations in the hotel, which felt very luxurious."Of course. To nurture love, a cozy place is needed.""Ah, you always have something to say.""Let's take a shower first, so we feel fresh," suggested Jordi."You go first."Jordi has already taken off his tie and jacket. Only the shirt and pants are left to be taken off. Meanwhile, Alice, th
"I will take care of it. Tomorrow, you and Alice just go to the embassy to take care of your wedding. Uhm, but first, I will call the officiant so that you can have a religious marriage."Jordi smiled."Forgive us for being stubborn all this time."Jordi immediately hugged Alexander tightly."Thank you for changing your mind about Alice, Dad."Alexander nodded slowly."Where is mom?" Jordi looked around and didn't find Norita."Sleeping in the room with Luke. You mom is very tense and she is very afraid that Anita will hurt Luke.""Does that mean Alice is in the room with Mom?"Jordi's eyes widened."No problem. Your mother won't bite Alice.""It's not that she won't bite, I'm just afraid that she might intimidate Alice.""Your mother has changed. Don't worry. Fortunately, you and Alice have Luke, so your mother's heart has softened. Her priority now is Luke.""Alright, I believe you."Meanwhile, inside the room, Norita opened her eyes and saw Alice."Sorry. I didn't mean to disturb yo
"Why, Nori? You look very panicked," Alexander said as he stepped out of the room."Where is Luke?""Sleeping," Alexander replied briefly."Thank goodness." Norita could breathe a sigh of relief. Her grandchild was sleeping, so she could talk more easily with Alexander."What's really going on? From the room, I couldn't hear clearly what you were saying." Alexander was curious."Anita. She's gone crazy. What should I do?" Norita was so tense as she looked at her husband."Calm down. Don't panic just yet! Tell me what happened.""She was very angry because I supported Jordi and Alice's relationship.""Let's sit down first."Alexander then brought Norita to sit beside him. After they sat down, Alexander held Norita's hand tightly."Don't panic, Darling. All of this is because of us, and we really need to tidy up all the mess we've made.""But, I don't want our children and grandchildren to become victims later, Darling!"Norita's eyes looked very scared."Calm down. We have to resolve t
Meanwhile, Norita immediately called Alexander to watch over Luke. The woman had to talk to Anita and resolve all the chaos she had caused from the beginning."Why was that child told to go into the room? Are you afraid that I will hurt him?" Anita asked very sarcastically. Her gaze was so angry towards Norita as if Norita had now become her enemy. Not the future mother-in-law who always supported her in getting Jordi."It would be better if adult conversations were not heard by children," replied Norita, trying to stay calm.Anita smiled as if mocking Norita."Anita ... Luke is indeed Jordi's child," Norita interjected, trying to speak gently to the woman in front of her who looked emotional."How can you be sure, Auntie? Have you done a DNA test?" Anita asked as if trying to make Norita doubt Luke and Alice.Norita shook her head.Anita chuckled with satisfaction. According to her, there was a gap she could exploit to make Norita suspicious of Alice and immediately discard the idea
"Can I come in, Auntie?" asked Anita, her face already swollen."Y-yes. Come in."Norita invited Anita to enter her room. Actually, she thought Alice and Jordi were coming, but it turned out to be Anita."What's wrong, Nita? Sit down first."Anita nodded her head. The two women sat facing each other."Have you met Jordi yet, Aunt?" asked Anita, looking flustered."Yes""How is it, Aunt? Have you managed to convince Jordi to leave Alice?" Anita asked hopefully.Norita took a deep breath. Actually, she feels sorry for Anita who has been by Jordi's side for the past five years. Indeed, Norita admits, all of this is her fault. If she hadn't been so stubborn about separating Jordi from Alice, none of this would have happened."Aunt ... aunt, why are you silent?" Please answer me!"Sorry, Nita.""Sorry? What does Aunt's apology mean?""Jordi ... cannot be separated from Alice. Auntie cannot do anything." N
"Yeah, yo can just move in here. Later, buy a house near Alice's house. That way, you can come every day," suggested Jordi, which only confused Alice.Alice already knows that Norita is somewhat scary. Now Norita is even being asked to buy a house near her house? It could turn into a disaster later on."Alright then. Look for properties for sale near Alice's house. I am moving in with your dad.""And what about the company? Does that mean mom doesn't want to take care of it anymore? Are you no longer willing to take care of it?""Retired. I am better off with my grandchildren. But at first, I will still help. It's time for me and your dad to have fun without work, I just want to play with Luke. You take care of the company yourself."Jordi shook his head. Can't believe how Norita's attitude changed one hundred eighty degrees. It feels like just this morning she was saying that Luke wasn't Jordi's child, but now ... even Luke is being carried
"But ... not kidnapped, right? That's my child!" Jordi firmly warned Norita."Of course not. My handsome grandson like this, how could I kidnap him? Enough ... you take care of your own business. We just want to play with Luke. "Tonight, Luke will also sleep with me," Norita insisted."HAH!" Jordi was left speechless. Alice also became confused."Please bring Luke a change of clothes. We want to play with Luke. You want Luke, right?" replied Norita.Luke became confused. The child looked towards Alice to seek approval from his mother."Can I play with Grandma and Grandpa, Mom?"Alice was actually a bit confused. She was also afraid that Luke would be taken away by Norita and Alexander."Calm down. We won't take Luke away. We just want to play and be with Luke at the hotel. Is it okay, Alice?" Alexander tried to reassure his future daughter-in-law.Alice still looked confused."Tomorrow, just pick up Luke at the hotel. Tr
Alexander then came to Melbourne to meet Norita. But, he was more curious about his grandchild, who supposedly looked like Jordi when he was little.They went to the school where Luke was."That, dear. That's what they call Luke. Our grandchild," Norita remarked, very happy to see Luke even from a distance."His face looks very much like Jordi's.""Yes. I immediately recognized Luke as soon as I saw the child's face.""Do you want to hug him?""I really want to hug Luke. But ...""Why? Are you afraid that Jordi or Alice will get angry?"Norita nodded her head.Alexander took a deep breath."How about you just make peace with Jordi and Alice? We can help take care of Luke and maybe reduce our guilt for being too busy making money and neglecting Jordi when he was still a child.""Is that possible?" Norita seemed to have lost all hope."Of course, it can be done. But, you have to lower your ego. Don't forcefully try to separate Jordi from Alice. "Surely they will also relent if you stop
