Love, Revenge, And The Sea
255

Jofan glanced at the clock that was on his desk, he actually did not have any work anymore, but he did not want to. he returns home because he knows his father and mother are waiting for him to discuss his relationship with Aurora.

Jofan's phone shook, he saw the screen, Aurora's name was plastered there, he hesitated to answer, but he decided to pick her up.

"Hello?" Jofan's voice sounded heavy.

"Hello, how are you?" aurora sounds friendly.

"I'm good," said Jofan flatly.

"Oh, is there a lot of work?" ask Aurora again.

Jofan did not reply, he did not know what to say?, which for sure now he did not want to discuss about his relationship with Aurora at all.

"Oh! has he? I understand if you have a lot of work to do" Aurora said again, Jofan frowned, he didn't even answer anything earlier, why Aurora answered like that. "I'm sorry to bother you, my uncle and aunt told me to call you, if it's still busy, it's okay, I'll tell them, don't forget to eat yes, I turn it off now," aurora said in a very cheerful voice, as if she was actually talking to Jofan and Jofan responded warmly.

Jofan hears Aurora's voice, she just wants to cover up Jofan's mistakes, she knows her parents must have been angry and disappointed to wait for Jofan from earlier, but Aurora tries to stop him, pretend like Jofan's busy.

Jofan continued in his position, even when the call was cut off, his heart fluttered, he was reminded of what Queen Ayana said, 'a president tampa companion, sounds pitiful'.

But he could not deny, his feelings were still left behind on Sania, as if the woman had stolen all the love that Jofan had to no matter how the woman approached, as if she had stolen all the love that Jofan had, not a little taste to them, all feels bland.

However, Aurora's treatment of him, enough to touch him, Aurora could have told her parents that Jofan did not respond, but to please her parents and also keep Jofan's good name, he did just that.

After a long time of thinking, using his logic, he finally stood up, grabbed his suit, then walked out of the office and walked home.

Aurora clasped her phone tightly, she continued to smile, even though her heart was slipping, since the first time she met Jofan, she immediately fell in love.

Who would not fall in love with a man like him, handsome, high position, higher education, from a good breed anyway, but for Aurora, who is, the only thing that made him fall in love was his cold demeanor.

He is not a man whose caste is much different from Jofan, his father is a minister and also a successful businessman, his great-grandfather is a hero, he himself now works in the city's law firm, and he is a, so for the men's problem, he had met men who were as similar as Jofan, all the men were very fond of him, only Jofan was indifferent to him.

He smiled sweetly at Mr. Abraham, as cheerfully as possible covering his sliced heart, even when he asked about whether or not he was busy, Jofan did not want to answer, it looks like he actually does not want to be disturbed by Aurora.

"Jofan is still busy Uncle, it's late at night, I think I'm going home" Aurora said.

"You have to understand him yes, as president he does prioritize all the interests of the people, it also makes him not want to get married until now," said Jofan's mother subtly gave understanding.

Aurora just smiled sweetly, that's not the reason Jofan didn't want to get married, he knows for sure what the reason is, because Jofan still loves the woman who left him.

"It's okay bi, I understand that," Aurora let out her smile again.

"Stay here, it's too late, your father will be angry if he finds out our daughter let him go home so late" Mr. Abraham asked Aurora.

"No uncle, I have to go home, tomorrow I have a very important business" Aurora said as she picked up her bag.

"Auntie, are you going home?" asked Jenny who suddenly appeared there, hugged her teddy bear, looked at Aurora with sadness, all there shocked, instead of Jenny had slept earlier?.

"Jenny? why wake up, baby?" said Aurora who approached, crouching in front of Aurora to have their faces aligned.

"I was my mother's dream, when I woke up, I was looking for her, but she wasn't around" Jenny said. Aurora who saw it touched her heart, this small child has been abandoned by both parents.

Mr. Abraham and his wife who saw it were sad, too soon their only child went and left their young grandson.

"Alright, Jenny is calm huh, Aunt will accompany Jenny to sleep again, how?"

---***---

Aurora kicked a little, stroking Jenny's head that had fallen asleep on her bed, she moved carefully so that Jenny did not wake up again, she pulls a blanket over Jenny's body and after tucking Jenny in the forehead, she moves to the door.

But his steps stopped when he saw the figure that was in front of the door when he opened it.

Jofan stood there with his flat gaze, looking at the surprised Aurora, as if he had just been caught off guard. Aurora was certainly shocked, she thought she wouldn't meet Jofan tonight, Jofan's gaze was flat, leaving her confused as to what Jofan was thinking now, was he angry?, Aurora was still there when she came home.

"Me, Jenny woke up, and she wanted to sleep, so I ..." explained Aurora so Jofan would not misunderstand.

"I want to talk to you," Jofan cut off instantly, his tone cold.

Hearing that Aurora who had still wanted to explain to Jofan immediately fell silent, as long as they had met, just this time Jofan said he wanted to talk to her. So Aurora was quite surprised.

"You want to talk?" ask Aurora again.

Jofan only nodded once, "Come, talk in my room,"

Jofan starts a step, not waiting for Aurora, Aurora closes the door to Jenny's room slowly, then follows Jofan from behind.

Aurora only realized, how tall and field Jofan's body, with Aurora's small posture, she could not even be seen if blocked by Jofan.

Jofan opened the door of his room, allowing Aurora to enter, Aurora looked at the room like the middle room, not directly revealing the bedroom.

"Sit down" said Jofan, letting Aurora sit down, while Jofan poured liquor into his small glass. "You want to?" Jofan.

"Oh, no, I don't like liquor," Aurora said subtly. Jofan just smiled, and drank the liquor and immediately poured it again, Aurora was transfixed, only this time she looked at Jofan's smile.

"Doubt?" jofan asked while showing a cigarette that was already on his lips, he wanted to start.

Aurora saw that, silent for a moment, did not know Jofan was a smoker.

"Please" said Aurora, who felt she had no right to ban. Jofan smiled again, lit his cigarette and picked up the liquor, sitting in front of Aurora who was staring at him.

"In this room I've fucked over 10 women" Jofan opened the conversation with startling words.

"What?" aurora said, not listening, just disbelief. Jofan turned off his cigarette which had already raised smoke around him, making Aurora slightly cough.

"Before I was a br*hsek man, I drank liquor, smoked cigarettes, and loved to fuck women," Jofan said looking at Aurora who looked somewhat frightened as Jofan stared at him with a cruel look. "Is that okay for you?" a long-overdue smile on Jofan raised him, puffed up on his lips

Aurora was silent, she was staring at Jofan who was much different from the one she had known all along, this man in front of her looked like a dangerous despot.

"I'm sure it's all just your past" Aurora said. I don't think that's the real Jofan.

Jofan smiled sinisterly, as if Aurora's words were very cliche to him, he stood up and approached Aurora, quickly she instantly fenced off Aurora's body with both of her hands that she was leaning against the sofa behind Aurora.

Aurora who saw it was certainly shocked, a little screamed, but on the ground, she closed her eyes, smelling the stinging smell of alcohol and cigarettes, but Jofan did nothing, just looking at it.

Aurora ventured to open her eyes, looking at Jofan's face that was really close to her, Her heart seemed to want to be dislodged, beating so hard that her breathing was tight, she said, he doesn't know what Jofan wants to do with him.

"Tell your Parents, I will marry you as soon as possible," said Jofan, turning his back, standing up and taking care of his suit, Aurora only fell silent to see him. "Come, let me drive you home."

"Well," said Aurora, who was still shocked and unable to arrange herself, but she immediately stood up and walked out, passing Jofan who was holding the door for her.
