My love is just one
30. The Sad on Birthday

"I had to let you go not because I gave up but I finally understood that there were things that couldn't be forced."

*****

Handoyo just got off the plane with Udin and they only use a backpack on the back because they do not want to be too long at Soekarno Hatta Airport. They walked in silence towards Damri bus at the passenger stop. They then boarded different buses as they put their respective cars in different vehicle daycare locations. Stubbing neat and did not look any familiarity between them even though they had just cleared up their duties in Makassar.

After taking Handoyo's car at the daycare in Blok M, Jakarta, Handoyo runs his vehicle to Cilegon. When Handoyo passed one of the typical American Fried Chicken outlets, "Canada Fried Chicken" Handoyo remembered Jessy's speech at that time was chatting with Jenny that he missed eating fried chicken. There was no restaurant in Cilegon and he was forced to eat only tent fried chicken sold at night.  Finally Handoyo stopped and bought the fried chicken for Jessy and Jenny at their salon.

Jessy and Jenny must be very happy to receive this fried chicken, and more eager to wash my hair and make coffee for me, Thought Handoyo while smiling warmly in the car. The car was driven to Jessy's Salon. It was still 5pm when Handoyo arrived at the salon. Jessy's salon tumben closed and there was no activity. Handoyo pulled over his car and rushed down into the salon.

The front door of the salon. On the fourth knock, the door of the salon opened. Jenny who opened it and immediately hysterically greeted Handoyo who carried a tentengan filled with fried chicken.

"Ih... mas Han, where have you been? it's been almost two months not stopping by.. go home village huh?" Jenny was so happy to say hello to her subscription that suddenly appeared. " It must be my coffee kangen, right?" Or want some hair scissors? tuh hair has been a bit long, but special affection today Jessy does not want to work. all day he just sat there and did the unclear thing... " Jenny Cerocos was unasked by Handoyo and he was still standing by the door.

"Kalin's been eating? I brought fried chicken for us to eat ... "Handoyo's speech immediately cut off Jenny's scream which was quite surprising.

"Jesssssyyyyyy... Mas Handoyo bawain for us to eat... " Jenny pulls Handoyo's hand.

Handoyo lets Jenny pull her hand and makes her enter the salon and closes the front door of the salon again. After a long time with Jenny, he understands that the woman is not acting strangely towards him. The man is quite nice and Handoyopun's views become changed towards Jenny. The man is quite loyal as a friend and fun to chat with.

When Handoyo came in, he saw Jessy sitting on the sofa watching TV and on the table lying some snacks and drinks canned sweet packaging.  It seems like partying but why does Jessy's face look pale like pain or maybe lack of sleep.  But the look in the eye was different like crying over something.

"Why Jess? You sick?" Handoyo asked quietly and he took a seat on the sofa in front of Jessy sitting while watching TV.

"Emh.. no. I was lazy to just work and open a salon. So today our salon activities liburkan and enjoy the day by chatting and watching TV... it turns out that many TV shows are interesting, "Jessy said casually while smiling and averted her eyes which showed she had just finished crying. The panda's eyes were quite clear to Handoyo.

Handoyo silently did not dispute the woman's remarks. Handoyo's vision turned to watch Jenny take the plate and put the typical American fried chicken brought from Handoyo on the table. Jessy who was originally speechless became smiling at the fried chicken and soon he took the plate and was immediately filled by the chicken rice package happily.

"I want to eat fried chicken "Canada Fried Chicken".. Thanks to you Han.. You are indeed the best customer I have. Let's eat!"  I haven't eaten this chicken in a long time!" Jessy said cheerfully and immediately chewed on it quickly.

"Mas Han.. did you know that today Jessy's birthday, and luckily you came bring her favorite chicken... for you to come!"  Sela Jenny gives the plate to Handoyo.

"Jessy's birthday?" I'm sorry I didn't know.. Should I have brought a gift?" Sorry.. and Happy birthday to Jessy.. May you be healthy, happy and successful always in your salon!"  Handoyo said sincerely while looking at the woman who was biting the crispy fried chicken.

"Thank you Handoyo mas. after eating, I can ko, your hair scissors, "Saw Jessy softly.

"Just the next day Jess... the important thing is that we enjoy and celebrate your birthday...yuk what do you want again? Let me buy you... What if we take a trip to Jakarta tomorrow?" Play around to Ancol yuk?" Want Jessy and Jenny?"  Handoyo invites them both to enjoy the tour while celebrating the birthday.

"I really want to. but yes Han, every birthday Jessy is like this, he will be like this. he remembers the "Bock " that disappeared without news.... The bastard who left Jessy on her wedding day and did you know Han... Bastard who often brought fried chicken....

"Jennnnn!" I still love Al.. Is it Jessy's fault? Jessy wants to see Al once!" Shouted Jessy.

Handoyo was surprised to see Jessy who was covered in tears and still ate the chicken. It feels like he lost the **** his meal.

"Jess...have let her go. She used to be just messing with you" Jenny said softly and patted her best friend's shoulder. "It's free if you're still crying for Al. He's happy with his wife!" There are still other men who will love you, Jess... "Please persuade Jenny.

Handoyo just silently watched their actions.  Finally he was impatient and said, "You have the address of the man, I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna drag him here to see you, Jes?"

"Now you eat dong.so we can eat again happily because there is no birthday person and tell others to eat while looking at people crying, "Seru Handoyo with a smile.

"Thank you Handoyo mas.. for the fried chicken, sometime if there is a chance, buy it again yes!"  Jessy said as she chewed on the fried chicken.

"Why do you still want to meet the man who broke your heart, Jess?" Ask Handoyo.

"I just want to ask, has he loved me all this time? Or did he just pity me and play around like Jessy said... So he left me in the middle of the party, Han? Is it wrong to ask her?" Jessy said slowly.

"You want me to help you find that guy?" Handoyo offers Jessy help sincerely.

"Thank you, Han. leave it alone. Tomorrow I will forget and be happy again... but this fried chicken is delicious, Mas Han, "Jessy Seru cheerfully.

They ate and talked until 19:30. After enough chatting and enjoying coffee, Handoyo and Jenny say goodbye. Jessy closed the door to the salon and eventually took a shower to refresh herself.

When she came out of the bathroom, Jessy made sure the doors and windows were locked. He entered his room next to the salon. How surprised Jessy was when she saw on her bed a rose and a gift .  Soon the red rose was taken and there was a small inscription on it.

"Happy birthday Jessy, I'm sorry - Al.

Did Al come here? How does he put these flowers and gifts here? Why didn't he see me?  I don't need any gifts from him...... I want to see him, or does he want to hurt me again? Not enough to hurt me.... Jessy was crying in her room.

" Al... You're so mean!" You never loved me.. I hate you always and forever. You are evil Al.. You have no idea how much I miss you, Al... Why don't you want to see me, Al?" Jessy yelled as she cried louder in her room.

"Al.. emang not so valuable as I in your eyes. I'm just a cheap woman must be in your eyes. You choose to leave me. I hate you Al " Jessy yelled back while throwing the gift at the wall but her hand held the red rose. He was still crying in his room.

Outside the house, behind Jessy's bedroom window, a man leaned against her and continued to listen to Jessy's screams and had expected her gift to be thrown. She cried silently beside Jessy's window.

"I'm sorry, Jessy... I'm sorry .. I've always loved you" whispered the man quietly. "Sleep.I'm waiting here for you. Please stop crying, baby!" The man was still staring at the closed window.

Jessy was still crying inside the room without knowing that there was a man outside and listening to all her cries and cries.
