05 Show Interest

The world does not end there is only one group of friends who know Aileen is engaged. Weird contact names anyway. How not to think strange?

Aileen realized, never mind, Yandra already knew. Never mind. Enough. Next time better be careful not to get caught.

"Give me my phone."

From outside, without the knowledge of the two people, Jack overheard the conversation between the two. Very good. Jack just found out that Aileen is engaged. No wonder she was cold. It turns out that she keeps her heart and feelings for her fiancé.

The next stage is marriage. Very good.

"Ah, I thought I was late."

Jack lowered his head, annoyed at what he thought. A moment later silence. Still not yet. Why is he so afraid?

Jack doesn't have to take the burden of thinking.

"Hey, isn't she married yet? There's still a chance. I don't know what happened, I think Aileen is my soul mate."

Feel free to think anything about jack, his jerk is more powerful than common sense.

"Can I go home already?"

"Eem." Jack just cleared his throat. He looked straight at Aileen's sweet face. The flushed red face looked right into his eyes. Beautiful.

"Let's go to my house first. Coincidentally, my house is near the place where we do real work at college."

Allen's eyes blinked. How come?

It is allowed by other group members. They have strict rules. Where can?

Whether want Jack's house to be near the real work college location or not, still can't. Except with the permission of all group members.

Aileen smiled uncomfortably, better not. Find safe.

"I think it's best not to. We're going straight home."

"Relax I have permission. We just need to go. Don't worry."

Don't worry what!?

Jack's house!

Bring a woman who even when asked later said Aileen was just a friend, it would still cause controversy. Not to mention the opinion of the community, neighbors, and mothers.

No!

Aileen is also a villager. She knew how the mouths of the village people who like to gossip. The culture of society is almost always like that.

"I don't feel good. It's not a problem for you, but for me, it's a disgrace. So, it's better not to."

Jack smiled broadly. Then he spoke.

"You come with me, Aileen. Wherever I go you must come with me."

Aileen smiled back even though it was very forced. C'mon, that's called coercion.

"I have a cell phone. I'll call a friend. No need to worry."

Silence a thousand languages. Shit. Inwardly Jack cursed. How hard is it to get Aileen to her house!?

It's not too bad though. Be normal.

"My parents are not at home. My neighbors are not like the neighbors in your village. They don't like to meddle in other people's business. Besides that, I got permission because I wanted to take the group's needs at home."

"No thanks," said Aileen. The decision is unanimous.

"Aileen. At least appreciate my efforts to look after you all night long. It's not that I'm not sincere, but you at least consider my invitation as your way of repaying the favor."

Well, it's getting weirder. Aileen was dizzy about what kind of thing to do. If it's been mentioned about reciprocation, as a thank a lot. Aileen didn't know what to say.

The heart and brain are busy at war.

A fight that is natural for him to do. Aileen confused.

The problem is Aileen has never been to any man's house. Just been to Farez's house during a family gathering.

"Well, don't take too long. For some reason, I doubt you have permission and get permission from friends."

"How narrow you think."

Will not finish arguing. Aileen was still tired. Better to end their conversation.

***

Jack lied about being unavailable to her parents at home. As a result, Aileen was confused about what to do. This situation made Aileen feel stupid.

In the heart is busy swearing. For the first time, Aileen cursed which was aimed directly at Jack.

Only once and twice. The third time, Aileen managed to come to her senses. It's not good for her curse. It is very far from a good sentence.

Bad. Should not!

Jack's parent's sudden question made Aileen silent. It felt like life was being pulled out. Ok, too much, but that's the truth.

"You're Jack's girlfriend?"

What should Aileen say!?

Jack isn't there. The man was going to his room. If Aileen finds it later, Aileen will immediately hit the man's head.

Haphazard invite Aileen to her house. Until then stuck in a difficult situation.

Meanwhile, Aileen was about to answer, and Jack's mother spoke again. In that case, how could Aileen respond?

"You were the only girl Mayas invited to your house other than eid. On an ordinary day like this, you are the only woman Mayas invited. You must be special to him."

How come the expectations have gone that far?

In reality, Aileen is only a friend of Jack's real work college group. No more.

Aileen smiled uncomfortably. It is okay. Let her clear up the misunderstanding.

"Sorry, aunt. I'm nothing Jack. We are friends of the real work college group. Last night he and the group leader took me to the public health center. I got food poisoning because it was mixed. Then now I will accompany Jack to get the things our group needs."

The goods needed by Aileen's group are BlueTooth speakers, gallons, mattresses, and blankets.

There are items for fun as well as essentials too.

Aileen's words were answered by Jack's mother with a friendly smile. Aileen also smiled.

"Auntie sorry for making you uncomfortable dear. I'm sorry I misunderstood you."

"Ah no." Aileen shook her head firmly. There's no need to do that to her.

"Of course aunty. No problem."

"You're cute. Oh yeah, you said you just had food and drug poisoning. Wait here, auntie have something for you."

After saying that Jack's mother immediately left. Looks like the person is going to the kitchen. Huh, Aileen is uncomfortable.

Aileen's eyes were busy looking here and there. Where there are many family photos. There are no photos of other children, meaning Jack is the only child.

Very good, the person's position is good.

For Aileen, a good position as a child is the first child, the youngest, and the only child.

Each has its responsibilities, so there are many assumptions about the position of children in the family. Which one is better?

Aileen just thought the middle child was in a position she was a mix of brother and sister. Holding two positions at once, that's why it's weird.

Aileen looked straight at Jack's room. Long huh?

At that time, Aileen was confused about whether to use a cell phone or not. She was full of fear.

Before Jack came out, his mother had already come. Bring a cup of water and cake.

Not long ago she put the tray on the table.

"Drink this. After that have cake. You should rest. Auntie will have Jack look after you."

Aileen speechless. Don't know how to respond. The glass was thrust to Aileen. Look how much the old girl wants Aileen to drink the water in the glass.

"This is herbal medicine. It can be taken with a hospital or public health center medicine. You don't need to worry. Its function is to make your body comfortable. You don't feel dizzy, nauseous, or feverish. Drink it."

Aileen knows Jack's mother is a very affectionate person. Very good. Aileen is grateful to have met such kind parents.

As a form of appreciation, Aileen drank traditional herbal medicine. Warm. Aileen's body relaxed.

"Thank you very much, auntie," Aileen said sincerely. Then she took the cake.

It feels good. It was the first time that Aileen felt the cake wasn't too sweet. The taste was right on Aileen's tongue.

Aileen's cell phone vibrates. He was not aware, only Jack's mother say Aileen so she couldn't help but lift the object. It turned out to be a phone call.

From Farez. What is it???

Farez rarely calls Aileen if not for important and urgent reasons.
