Simon's Bride
66. Joanna call

"I'm sorry, Brenda. You can't even enjoy the party." Anna took a deep breath. He looked up and saw Brenda smiling.

"He's just jealous, Ann. He doesn't like to see you dance with Zach."

Anna sniffed both of his shoulders. "Eitherway. I'm pampering. Thank you so much, Bren. Again sorry, you're gonna have to drive me."

"Sleep well. Everything's gonna be okay tomorrow."

"Yes ...."

Anna waited for Brenda's car to turn around and leave the courtyard of her cottage and she went inside. Arriving inside, Anna locked the door. He walked up to the room. After throwing his bag recklessly on the floor, he threw himself on the bed. Tears that had been hard-won since then finally flowed.

Anna tried to plumb her own heart. What is the most dominant feeling dominates him at the moment. Angry because consciously or not, Simon has hurt Ann's self-esteem by calling it a wayng. Ann looked at her attitude while they were in the cabin of the ship. He did tease the man first, maybe that also made the man think that Anna was actually cheap. Plus the style of dress tonight.

But for some reason, Anna admitted to herself, rather than the pain of Simon's words, she was more hurt when she saw Jean there. Simon with Jean. Although the woman was masked, Anna knew the woman's red hair. Anna realized, her jealousy was growing. His heart ached when he found out Simon was spending time with other women as well, not just with Anna.

I already know you're a dominant man, I like you, I don't like you with other women. But tonight, as you appear to be an arrogant man, is it wise to sacrifice my freedom, while you still seem to have the freedom to act in your favor? You will rule all facets of my life .. Isn't that what the marriage bond means? You husbands, as if having full power over your wives ....

Anna wiped away her tears. Without him noticing, the exhaustion and the crying finally made his eyes closed tightly. Welcoming sleep without dreams, still wrapped in a party dress that became the source of chaos that night.

"Wouldn't you knock on the door?" ask Jhon.

Simon took a deep breath. He parked not far from Anna's cottage. Intentionally not approaching. After seeing Brenda's car pass from Anna's house, Simon decided to get closer to the entrance of the cottage.

Jhon drives the car. He volunteered to drive Simon, after he left his sister Mindy and Jean to his friend Damian to bring them home.

"No. We're still both angry, Jhon. I just want to make sure he gets home safely."

"You still need to talk to him, Simon. Your words to him I think are a bit outrageous. Sorry, I didn't mean eavesdropping. Some of your words sound a little tight."

"I know .. but not now. He needs to sleep. Tomorrow is busy at school. The day after the last day .. and I still have plenty of time. Anna promised to spend the summer vacation with Leon."

"That's a relief."

Simon nodded. "Yes .. I think we can go home now" Simon said. Looking towards the nagging Jhon agreeing.

On the way home, Simon's phone rang. He tried to ignore it. However, his ringtone continued to be deafening.

"I think it's important. Look who's calling first, Simon," advises John.

Lazily, Simon reached into the bag. He glanced and found Joanna calling. Leaning back and putting the phone to his ear, Simon received the call.

"Hello ... Yes, Yoan? What's up?"

There was sobbing before Joanna tried to speak.

"You haven't slept?" ask Yoana.

Simon straightened his back. Yoana's voice sounded hoarse, sobs sounded between her words.

"Simon ...." Yoana sounded breathless, difficulty saying words.

"Yoana, tell me what's going on?"

"Simon, Uncle Hamilton"

"What's wrong with Uncle Hamilton?"

"Come here, Simon. Vincent's been in contact with Bruno. Our plane will be ready at White Sand Bay airport. You and Leon, come here immediately ...."

"What's wrong with Uncle, Yoan!"

Jhon gasped, surprised to hear Simon suddenly shout.

"I don't know, Simon. I really don't know. Claude said Uncle just talked to him in the study, and then they were just going back to their rooms. Uncle had just climbed half the stairs to the top floor when he suddenly fell. Claude couldn't catch him. Uncle fell and was unconscious ...." Yoana's cry is getting louder. "Now we're in the hospital. Uncle is inside ... we don't know yet bagaima ...." Joanna stopped saying, she was crying again.

"Come here. Take Leon, Simon."

Simon turned off the connection. He glanced at Jhon, "can you go faster, Jhon? I need to get Leon. Uncle Hamilton-"

John did not wait for Simon to continue his words. Both of his best friend's eyes were already glazed over. He knew something bad had happened.

They arrived in front of the beach house. Bruno had already prepared with the car and also some of their confidants. When running into the house, Simon went straight to Leon's room.

Nanny Lea was trying to wake the boy with persuasion. Leon refused to get up. The boy was already very sound and resisted any distractions. Simon scooped up his son's body, then gave Leah instructions.

"No need to bring anything, Lea. Tell our housekeeper to leave."

"Here you go, sir."

"Then we go now." Simon picked up and held Leon. Together they step out of the house.

Jhon gave Simon a goodbye hug, as well as a pat on the back.

"I hope everything's okay ...."

"Yes ... We're leaving, Jhon."

Accompanied by Lambaian his housekeeper and Jhon. Two black cars driven by Bruno and Seth took them to White Sand Bay airport.
