Just My Ex Husband
Part 30 - Put me in the list of options
"Who's Jenn coming?"
Shouted Linda the mother of Jenny who wanted to know who came to Jenny's house.
"You don't matter, ma'am."
Jenny still stood at the main door holding Cleo. Jenny did not want to give Arjuna and Ivan a chance to enter her house.
"Pa pa pa."
Cleo was really rese this time, calling Arjuna papa again. Ironically, Cleo's two hands raised towards Arjuna, asking to be carried by Arjuna.
"Look at Jenn you have no reason to dodge anymore."
Cecar Arjuna's. Then Arjuna pulled Cleo's puffed body from Jenny's sling.
Arjuna who has experienced children looks very relaxed when holding Cleo.
Suddenly Linda came over to those who were still standing at the entrance.
"Geez, Jenny, you're not so polite that your guests are told to stand in front of the door."
An opportunity that Arjuna did not want to waste after Linda's appearance.
Mother-in-law.
Arjuna muttered in his heart. Believing Linda is the mother of Jenny, their faces look very similar.
"Look in. Come on in, don't mind Jenny being rude to guests."
Arjuna smiled triumphantly at Linda's invitation. While Jenny only glanced at Arjuna and Ivan with a sour face. Jenny wants them to leave her house, unfortunately Cleo can not be compromised this time, she actually enjoys Arjuna's sling.
"You want me to make you some coffee or some warm sweet tea?"
Fresh Linda who has great respect for the two men of stout stature in the living room.
"Don't bother ma'am, we've had coffee before we got here."
Said Ivan who felt sorry for Linda.
Jenny just bowed on the sofa clenching her palms, hinting at Arjuna's uneasiness and annoyance.
"Alright, I'll stay if you don't want to drink anything."
Linda passed by leaving them in the living room, as if understanding that the guest who came was none other than Cleo's father.
Linda was surprised when she just saw Arjuna, because Arjuna's face was so similar to Cleo, can Linda make sure that Arjuna is Cleo's biological father.
Let them solve their own problems, they are adults anyway. That's what Linda thinks now.
"Ivan please leave us a moment."
Arjuna asked Ivan to leave.
It looks like Arjuna is going to discuss something very private with Jenny. Then Ivan obeyed Arjuna's request to leave the three of them with Cleo who was still loyal in Arjuna's lap.
The atmosphere was silent after Ivan left, while Cleo just rubbed Arjuna's face with her little fingers.
"Never take Leo from my side, I beg Arjuna."
Jenny who looked agitated first opened the chat. His pale face held a deep fear.
Enough Jenny to lose the man she once loved Frans. Jenny did not want to repeat her loss again. It feels unable for Jenny if she has to part with her favorite son.
"Did I look that cruel Jenn?"
Arjuna looked at Jenny fixedly, while Jenny was still down, not wanting to see Arjuna's face.
"I didn't know what kind of man Arjuna was? All I'm afraid of is Leo. Don't ever take him away from me, he's all I have right now."
Arjuna just smiled faintly at Jenny's confession.
"We can have Leo with Jenn, without having to separate Leo from you or from me."
Jenny did not understand Arjuna's words
"Whatchu mean? I don't understand."
Jenny did not understand what Arjuna said.
"Married to Jenn. We raise Leo together, we can see Leo grow up to be a strong and great man. Together we're living an aging life raising our son Jenn, without anyone having to lose one."
Just reunited with Jenny, Arjuna's movements felt too fast for Jenny. How Jenny can accept Arjuna, while Jenny never knew exactly about Arjuna.
"Are you aware of what you say Arjuna?"
Jenny ventured to look at the man beside her, looking for a lie from Arjuna's eyes. But Jenny did not find, Arjuna's affection looks so sincere to Cleo.
"Do you doubt me, Jenny?"
Arjuna asked Jenny back
"I just don't want to accept the man who tied me up just for another reason. That night we did it without love and beyond our consciousness."
Hearing Jenny say that, as can be read by Arjuna if he pleads with Jenny to get married on the basis of Cleo's presence.
"You mean I asked you because of Leo Jenn?"
Jenny was speechless, Arjuna's guess was very precise.
"Even if Leo isn't around, I'd still vote for you, Jenn."
"From the beginning of the night after it happened, my heart skipped a beat every time I saw you. It's just that I couldn't admit it. At that time my emotions were still unstable, still feeling the loss of my dead wife."
Arjuna explained all his feelings in front of Jenny.
"I cannot live with a man who seeks the shadow of others within me."
Jenny is after Arjuna for a variety of reasons.
"Actually if I had known you, William wasn't by your side, I might have enjoyed being a father figure to Leo."
Indeed, at that time Arjuna's heart was very broken to hear Jenny's false confession on behalf of William was her husband.
"I can't Arjuna. I can't afford to start again."
Jenny's heart was too scared to start a new love, all she thought about was how to raise Cleo.
Cleo who was getting bored in Arjuna's lap suddenly asked to move to sit on Jenny's lap. Then Arjuna hands Cleo into Jenny's lap making Arjuna's sitting position with Jenny getting closer.
Jenny who mangelus Cleo's head affectionately makes Arjuna feel that the woman next to him is indeed the right woman to be a companion for life.
"Jenn, please reconsider my request."
Arjuna grabbed Jenny's fingers free from Cleo's body, grasping them tightly with deep feelings.
"Please Jenn's. If you have another candidate for your life partner, please put my name on your list of choices. I will prove my seriousness to you."
Jenny felt unbearable to say Arjuna, then Jenny pulled her hand from Arjuna's grasp.
"Alright, but if one day I can't choose you, don't blame me if I let you down."
Jenny doesn't want to promise anything to Arjuna. Jenny's heart was still confused. For Jenny the love she has right now is only for a Cleo.

I once put my heart on someone, until I forgot it felt like I was hoping to come back.
