"I thought you were hurt and angry after grandpa scolded you in public on my birthday and that you regretted proposing to me and decided to ignore me."
"I just don't want to confuse you, choosing between me or your grandfather. So I'm waiting for you to take the initiative to contact me," Jonathan told what he was thinking.
"I was waiting for you to call me and you were waiting for me to call you. If it wasn't for my mother telling me to do it, maybe we would have continued to wait stupidly?" Jenny asked.
"Then, did you accept my proposal?"
"The ring is a little too small. I can't get it off my finger after putting it on. I can't give it back to you."
"So that means you accept me!" Jonathan's warm laugh came from the other end of the line.
Jenny immediately got up and threw her mother out of the room because she was too embarrassed. "Mother, aren't you busy? I won't keep you here. You can cook lunch now."
"Oh my... I know you're embarrassed that I'm here." Maria smiled and left the room.
Jenny did feel embarrassed if Maria stayed there. She wouldn't be able to act spoiled if her mother didn't leave her alone.
Maria feels quite optimistic about Jenny and Jonathan's relationship. They both love each other and their family backgrounds are not much different.
There's only one problem though— Jonathan is a widower with a kid.
Maria understands why her father-in-law strongly opposes Jenny and Jonathan's relationship. He takes issue with Jonathan's status as an illegitimate child, deeming him unworthy of Jenny.
But if Bima is adamant against it, why has he locked himself in for three days and hasn't made a decision yet?
Maria felt like a rainbow would soon appear after the storm.
If Bima approves Jenny and Jonathan's relationship, Maria will also be happy. As a mother, what more could she want for her daughter, other than a man who would sacrifice everything for her?
"Last night, I went to my grandfather's study and looked for my family card and birth certificate. But when I opened the nightstand, Grandpa caught me," Jenny whispered.
"Jenny, don't be like that. That's not a good thing," Jonathan rebuked her.
"Grandpa said I don't have the right to know where he keeps my files," Jenny said in a frustrated and sad voice. "Why didn't I think of this earlier? In order to get married, I need those files."
Jonathan laughed and comforted her. "Your grandfather already knows that you are a reckless person. He's afraid you'll act impulsively and run away with those documents."
"How are we supposed to get married if I can't get them?" Jenny said anxiously.
"If your grandfather accepts me, he will give us all of the documents. But before that, you can't be naughty and act in your own way to get all of it," Jonathan warned his overly naughty lover.
Jenny smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll obey you."
…
In the afternoon, Marsha came as promised, to have tea with Bima. She went to dinner with the Atmajaya Family and drank some wine. Since she was a bit drunk, Maria asked a maid to help Marsha stay in her guest room.
The next morning, Bima suddenly invited Jenny to go to a cemetery, to see where her grandmother was buried.
"Grandpa, are you and Grandma Marsha getting married? Did you take me to Grandma's graveyard to ask permission?" Jenny asked.
Just at that moment, Marsha came out of the guest room and was a little embarrassed upon hearing Jenny's words.
"I want to talk to her and ask permission. I'm sure your grandmother will allow it," Bima walked over to Marsha and took her hand. "Marsha, you are right. I understand now. My children and grandchildren have their own lives."
Marsha withdrew her hand shyly. "If you want to go, I'll go first. Sorry to trouble you all last night."
"Auntie, I've made breakfast for you," Maria knew that Marsha must have felt embarrassed because she was drunk last night so she stayed there and now she wanted to go home immediately. That's why Maria wrapped breakfast for her in a lunch box.
Marsha couldn't resist it. She accepted it with a warm smile on her face. "Thank you. I've troubled you."
"Don't hesitate. We will be a family soon," when Maria said this, Marsha looked shy. She patted the back of Maria's hand without saying anything.
But when she left the house, her face showed a slightly happy smile.
At 10 am, Bima took Jenny and Maria to his ex-wife's grave.
Nobody knew what Bima said in front of his ex-wife's grave, but he prayed for a long time. Jenny felt that Bima must be confessing everything he had done so far, maybe his mischief too.
When they left the grave, Bima, Jenny and Maria bid their goodbye and went home.
"Grandpa, did you tell grandma everything? Did you tell her I disobeyed you? Or how you used to scare me at night?" Jenny asked carefully.
"You think too much," Bima replied with a smile.
"Then what did you say?"
"I told her that her granddaughter had just returned home after studying abroad and fallen in love with a man. I asked her help to investigate the man. If Jonathan doesn't really love you, I told her to take him away," Bima said with a serious face.
"Grandfather! How could you do this? Even if Jonathan doesn't love me, he can't die!" Jenny replied angrily.
"If nothing happens to him, then his love for you is truly genuine. If something happens to him, don't be sad and just find another man," Bima replied calmly.
"Driver, quickly turn around and go back to the cemetery," Jenny shouted anxiously. "Grandpa, tell grandma again. You can't do this to Jonathan. If Jonathan doesn't love me, well, let it be. You can't kill him!"
"That means, you yourself are not sure whether he really sincerely loves you or not," Bima glanced at her.
"I'm pretty sure he loves me," Jenny answered confidently.
"Then what are you afraid of?" Bhima asked back.
"I… I just feel like you told grandma about all my misbehavior. That is not true!" Jenny said stiffly.
"It's not necessarily your grandmother who listens to me. If nothing happens to Jonathan for three days, I will believe that he really loves you," said Bima.
"He will be fine. Because he really loves me," Jenny's eyes didn't show any doubt as she said that.
When they returned to the Atmajaya Family's house, they saw two cars parked in the yard. One of them belonged to Indah and the other to Rudi.
"Rudi came to accompany me to play chess. But why did Indah come all of a sudden?" The expression on Bima's face slightly changed.
Jenny also wondered. Why didn't Jonathan come, but instead Rudi and Indah…
Who knows, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Jonathan and Indah sitting on the sofa in the living room. Meanwhile, she couldn't see Rudi around.
The butler immediately greeted Bima and said, "Master, after taking Mrs. Marsha home, Mr. Jonathan and Mrs. Indah came to the house. I dare not call you because you are away. They said they wanted to wait until you got home."
Bima looked at the gifts that were on the table. "Indah, why didn't you tell me you were coming? We're family. Why did you come and bring so many gifts like this?"
"I didn't buy this gift. All of this is from Jonathan. Bima, you and I are both against their relationship. But you also know that Jenny and Jonathan love each other. Jonathan's mother died when he was little and my brother is still in prison. Only I can come to accompany him today," Indah said openly that she had come to accompany her nephew to propose to Jenny.
