"Hurry up. I've already booked a place at a restaurant and asked Jonathan to meet up," said Rudi.
Jenny immediately woke up when she heard Rudi's words. Her sleepiness had completely disappeared from her body along with the jet lag she felt earlier.
When she thought about Jonathan, she felt her heart beat twice as fast as before. But on the surface, she still tried to stay calm. "I'll get ready soon."
After the call ended, Jenny immediately ran to the bathroom and looked for her best clothes. She also put on some make-up on her face.
She had not seen Jonathan for two years. She doesn't want to look ugly in front of the man she likes. She wanted Jonathan to value and appreciate her more.
She didn't know how Jonathan was now. The man has always been hiding from her despite her repeated attempts to contact him.
Did the two years of separation make Jonathan change his mind?
Jenny is feeling very excited today. She chose a black shirt that made her skin look whiter. Paired with beige trousers with a stylish belt.
She chose a high-heeled shoe that was not too high and comfortable enough for her. In just two years, Jenny had changed. She was no longer the sweet Jenny she used to be, but the graceful and charming Jenny.
Before going abroad, her hair only reached her shoulders. Now, she had long, beautiful hair, reaching down to her waist. Her hair swayed, dancing to the wind as she walked, making her look even more beautiful.
She smiled at the mirror in her room, imagining what Jonathan would say about her now. She took a deep breath and left.
She was escorted by the Atmajaya Family driver to a restaurant. As she got out of the car, Jenny immediately caught the passersby's attention.
A waitress then opened the door for her, but her hands stopped moving for a moment in admiration of Jenny's beauty.
"Welcome, Miss Jenny. Mr. Rudi has reserved a VIP spot. Let me take you," said the waiter after awakening from her daydream.
As she walked into the room, Jenny heard a familiar woman's voice from inside. She couldn't remember whose voice it was. "Would Jenny be surprised when she saw me?" She asked.
Did Rudi bring his girlfriend? Or maybe Jonathan?
No wonder Jonathan hasn't taken her calls for the past two years. He didn't even ask how she was. Turns out it was because Jonathan had another girlfriend.
'Jonathan, you're so mean…' Jenny whispered to herself.
At the thought of this, Jenny felt her mood immediately change. Even tears started to build up in her eyes. One blink of an eye was enough to make the tears fall.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down before pushing the door open.
As she looked at the people inside, Jenny was silent for a moment. There were Rudi, Jonathan and indeed one more woman.
But isn't that…
"Tiara?" Jenny said in surprise.
"Oh! She still remembers my name!" Tiara smiled and winked at Jenny.
"How did you get here? Didn't you go to Hong Kong? When did you come back?" Jenny said happily.
"Half a year ago. My aunt opened a bar and her business is getting better now. That's why I was dragged home to help her," Tiara said helplessly.
"Aren't you glad to be back? I just got home too. I'm so glad to see you again," Jenny's eyes sparkled with joy.
Seeing them, Rudi couldn't hold himself back anymore. "Ahem! Ladies, is it necessary to hug in front of us gentlemen? Don't you think about our feelings? I also want a hug. How about you give me a hug too?"
Jenny just laughed, ignoring Rudi's jokes. "I forgot you guys were here," then she turned around with a blush on her cheeks.
"Rudi, Uncle Jonathan, long time no see," said Jenny. Her eyes fell on Jonathan, the man who adorned her dreams every night.
Jonathan's beautiful lips formed a smile as his eyes fell on Jenny. His eyes were still as warm as ever, making Jenny feel lost in his gaze.
"After two years abroad, you seem to be more beautiful. But you are a little thin. Waiter, quickly get all the food out," Rudi shouted to the waiter.
Jenny took her eyes off Jonathan and pulled Tiara to sit beside her. "How did you meet them?" She asked.
"Didn't you introduce me to Uncle Jonathan before? Why are you surprised to see us together?" Tiara said with a laugh.
"You mean… You and Uncle Jonathan…" Jenny almost stood up from her seat in shock. She couldn't swallow the news she had just heard.
Tiara immediately laughed seeing her. "You are very funny! Ouch… My stomach hurts…" She said while laughing heartily.
Jenny immediately pretended to hit her. "You….!"
"A few days ago, I happened to run into the two of them. I think I saw it wrong, but I didn't think I actually met Uncle Jonathan. Then, I heard that you would return to Indonesia soon. So I asked them to take me when they met you. Don't you like seeing me?" Tiara pursed her lips.
"What do you say?! Of course I'm very happy!" The two of them are quite close friends. Since they hadn't seen each other in a long time, there was so much they talked about.
Rudi felt he was being ignored there.
In the end, he drew closer to Jonathan and asked in a low voice, "How do you know Tiara?"
"When Jenny was heartbroken, I took her to the playground. There, I met two of her friends and one of them was Tiara," Jonathan smiled as he looked at Jenny.
"Were her two friends interested in you and asked Jenny to introduce them to you?" Rudi could guess the story that happened at that time.
Jonathan didn't dodge and nodded his head.
"After that, Jenny must have realized that you were very popular and in the end, she fell in love with you." This time, Rudi didn't ask but made a statement.
"I don't know," Jonathan really didn't know when Jenny had fallen in love with him.
He hadn't seen her in two years. Two years on, Jenny looks much more mature and beautiful than before.
Even though the former Jenny was also beautiful, her beauty seemed to be adding more to her charm after two years of being abroad. Perhaps her aura was changing, making her look even more pretty, like a flower in bloom.
Her eyes still sparkled as brightly as before. Her long eyelashes always swayed when she blinked. The dimples on her cheeks occasionally appear when he smiles or laughs.
Around 8 pm, they finally finished eating. Jonathan received a call and said that there was a problem he had to take care of immediately.
In the end, it was Rudi who brought Jenny and Tiara home.
Jenny invites Tiara to stay at her house today. But Tiara has to work tomorrow morning and she is not allowed to stay at someone else's house.
Her aunt's house was very close to the restaurant where they ate so Rudi drove Tiara first.
After Tiara came home, only Rudi and Jenny were left in the car.
"What are you going to do now that you're back in Indonesia?" Rudi asked.
"Do you already have a lover?" Jenny asked.
Rudi laughed hearing that. "Would you like to ask Jonathan out? He is single now. Two years ago, he wasn't actually dating Sherry. He just wanted you to comply with your family's request and study diligently abroad. If you still love him, go after him. But if you don't want to chase him anymore, come back. Remember that I will always support you," Rudi said.
