The Seed of the Cassanova
BSC 182 (S3 Part 25)

Since the return of the meeting with the Admark Investments, Jevian has been pensive since then. As of this moment, he was pensively pensive on the balcony of his room. With a cigarette tucked between his lips, his eyes glazed over. Although Jevian is not a smoker, but that does not mean he does not like to smoke. He likes it, but only occasionally. When his mind is in chaos. If he was really frustrated, then he vented it to alcohol. But he would only drink alcohol in his apartment or mansion. He did not want to be involved in something that would make the problem even more severe because of drunkenness. For him being drunk is a source of trouble when done outside. But it was different in his own home. At least it can make his mind calm even if only for a moment.

Smoke billows in the air forming rings. Without him noticing, there was a woman from the balcony down there who was watching him with a frowning forehead.

"I don't think you're a smoker" said someone, leaving Jevian aghast and looking for the figure.

"You ... You haven't slept?" jevian asked when he found Roseline leaning on the balcony guardrail of his room.

Because they were quite far away, there was a balcony of Jefrey's room stretching between them, so they spoke in a slightly hardened voice.

"As you can see, I'm here, which means I haven't slept," replied Roseline diplomatically who unknowingly made Jevian smile amusedly confirming.

Jevian pressed the tip of his lit cigarette on the ashtray and threw out his butt. Afterwards, Jevian suddenly climbed up the balcony railing making Roseline round her eyes.

"Hey sir, what are you doing?" exclaim Roseline worried.

How not, now Jevian is crawling on the wall exactly lizard while holding on to a more prominent wall. He crept slowly then jumped onto the balcony of Jefrey's room. Afterwards, Jevian climbed up the balcony of Jefrey's room and crept onto Roseline's balcony. Roseline's eyes were perfectly rounded when Jevian jumped onto the balcony of her room.

Seeing Roseline's speechless expression, Jevian chuckled.

"I just want to talk to you, no problem, right?"

"Are you crazy? Climb the balcony while there's a door and you can knock and get in here without any effort? Lucky you didn't fall, how about falling? You want to make Jefrey sad? You're not Spiderman, remember that!" roseline's grumbling tirade made Jevian stare a smile. Glad someone was nagging like this.

Jevian remembers Adisti. Adisti also often nagged if he did something as he pleased.

"It looks like your brain is in trouble, instead of being conscious, it's laughing."

"Yes, yes, sorry. I was just spontaneous. My adrenalin feels racing after doing it."

"You're really crazy."

Instead of being angry, Jevian just laughed loudly. Hearing the nagging and seeing Roseline's expression turned out to be quite comforting to the point that she could slightly forget her turmoil.

Then Jevian leaned against the balcony railing. But his eyes were straight ahead. Roseline glanced, she could feel that Jevian was not doing well.

"Is there a problem? Since you got home, you look like a lot of thought" asked Roseline.

Jevian smiled faintly, "yes, you're absolutely right. I have a lot of thoughts right now. I don't know, sometimes I just feel like I can't. If there were no Jefrey, I might have given up a long time ago" Jevian said suddenly.

"If you feel depressed, you can talk to me. I'll be a good listener."

"really?"

Roseline nodded as Jevian glanced at her.

"It seems like your offer isn't bad."

"Sometimes telling stories can reduce a little bit of the burden on the heart compared to harboring. Who knows, you'll find a way out. If not, at least, the pressure is not as heavy as before" said Roseline wisely.

"May I ask for help?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"It seems we need wine to accompany us to tell stories."

Roseline agreed.

"All right, I'll get it."

Roseline passed from there. It didn't take long, Roseline was back with a bottle of wine and two small glasses.

Jevian took the bottle and poured it into the glass. Jevian then invited Roseline to drink the wine. Roseline held up her glass and they clinked at each other.

After downing the wine in the glass, Jevian immediately began to tell a story.

Jevian then poured another wine kee glass. Then he took it back until the glass was empty.

It was not only the meeting with Mark that he was worried about, but also Adisti. Somehow it is now. Sometimes Jevian was curious. But Jevian always tried to strengthen his heart so as not to go back to wallowing in the past. 4 Years have passed, but somehow the love is still there. It made him feel so helpless.

Roseline did not know about Adisti's abduction because she was already in prison. He also did not know the people in the circle Rainero, one of them Jevian. The focus at that time was only the Sanches family or close to the Sanches family like Axton who were everyday not far from the Sanches family. Axton sometimes even spies on Delena when needed.

Moreover, Jevian was a friend of different countries. Only a few years later, the Jevian family moved to the same country as Rainero. But the center of the Jevian family company is still in their home country so Jevian and his father are more often in their home country. But after the kidnapping, a Jevian subsidiary in the country where Rainero lived was found bankrupt. After getting an injection of funds from Tobey, Jevian focused more on the main company.

"Would you like to hear my advice?" ask Roseline.

"Hmmm ... Whaddya think? What am I supposed to do?"

"Honestly, I think you have to keep going. It may be hard, but the past has to be dealt with. Especially when you are desperate. You need money not just for your company, your employees, but also Jeffrey. If your company goes bankrupt, how can you finance the treatment of Jefrey. After all, the one who made the mistake was not you, but your mother. Face up. Who knows, that way you can erase your feelings. If you step back, you will be considered a loser. And one more thing for sure, your wife and your in-laws will cheer happily at your destruction. You don't want that to happen?"

Jevian speechless. He seemed to digest Roseline's speech which he thought was absolutely right.

"Do you still love that woman?" ask Roseline suddenly.

"Honestly, I haven't forgotten it yet."

"I get. It's not easy to forget someone we love, especially in that way."

"Em, if I may know, do you have a lover?"

"No," Roseline replied quickly. "But I have an ex-lover" he added.

Suddenly Jevian got curious about something, "do you still love him?"

"Of course."

"Why did you split up?"

"Why are you so like interrogating me?" Roseline's eyes squeaked Jevian's pissing.

"I'm just asking. If you don't want to tell a story, it doesn't matter."

Roseline smiled knotfully, "because our castes are different," Roseline replied suddenly.

"Well! Meanin?" jevian asked confused.

Roseline took a deep breath, "different caste. I was just a poor man, while he was a man. His parents disapproved and forced him to marry the woman of their choice. I am self-conscious and choose to retreat."

Yeah, Roseline used to have a boyfriend. They've been in love since Senior High School. After they both finished school, his lover took him to meet his parents. The man not only wants to introduce, but wants to ask for blessing so that they can get married. For the next month, he will study in another country. So he wants to marry Roseline to tie her up.

But the man's parents were against it. They get angry and drive Roseline away. That's why Roseline's hatred for the Sanches family is burning. Especially after knowing that Rainero was so loved by his parents. Roseline thinks that's unfair. Rainero can live a happy and prosperous life, inversely proportional to himself who lives in poverty and disability and rejection.

Hose had indeed instilled hatred in him towards the Sanches family since childhood. But the hatred only flared after he was rejected by the family of the man he loved just because of his social status. It finally sinks him into a wrong revenge. Revenge that should not exist because all just engineered the uncle who turns out he is the real father. Indeed, until now Roseline is still drowning in regret. He really regretted betraying a woman as good as Delena.

Jevian was quite surprised. It turns out Roseline also has a past that is no less sad than her. Even the problem is almost the same, but the difference in the position of Roseline like Adisti. But Adisti is still more fortunate because he immediately found a man who loves and loves him. While Roseline, I don't know. Jevian doesn't really know Roseline's past.

"It seems our problem is not much different. It's laughable."

Jevian chuckles. Roseline also chuckled.

"It seems your advice I'll consider. Thank you for listening to me."

"Together, sir. Next time, if there is a problem, do not hesitate to tell a story. Who knows I could help you."

Jevian smiles. He poured wine back into each glass and drank it. As the day wore on, they returned to their rooms with a much lighter feeling.
