My love is just one
43. Bad reputation ?

Sometimes, God removes something very meaningful from your grasp, so that you realize your mistakes and try to be better.

" Al, you don't have a wife do you? " Jessy asked as she looked at the fifty-year-old man with a probing look.

The gaze touched to the bottom of Alex's heart, Jessy was able to hear it this time. Long ago when he was in love with "Ballawa" he was unable to use it. Is because Jessy used to be blinded by love for that dayak man.

"I'm a widower, my wife died two years ago...

"That means no one will get angry if we are in a relationship or we can finally be together?'

Jess, you wouldn't be able to make a good love relationship if you were still wrapped around a dark past, Forgive her and step in with me!" Alex said as he glanced at the man who was waiting for them at the end of the hall.

Jessy followed the edge of Alex's eyes and saw "Al" who was leaning and was indeed waiting for her. The man who was still able to shake his heart but hurt him so deeply. He looked back at Alex who pulled his fingers to approach Al.

"You want to teach me to forget about it Al?' Jessy asked as she looked with certainty at the man who was clutching his fingers tightly.

"We're going to fight it with Jess...!" Alex with certainty.

As Jessy and Alex get closer to the end of the hall, Ballawa is visibly upset. He noticed that the fingers of the two were related to each other. Not to mention behind Jessy and Alex there are still two lawyers who are in intense discussions. Al took a breath to control his anger.

"Jess, we have to talk!' Ballawa blocks Jessy and Alex and stops them as well as the lawyer behind them.

"Jessy, you don't know who you're with ! I'll drive you.."Al said in a commanding tone and stared intently at the hands of the two men in front of him.

"It's none of your business anymore, Al!" Move us home!" Jessy's voice is bad.

"You'll get hurt with him, Jess!' Sahut Al is back.

"You who hurt me Al, not him or Han .. You who I think are very familiar and kind to me, but you who obviously hurt me and always make me regret, he you think is bad he's good to me. And I think I'll step with him to forget you!"

"I know my mistakes are unforgivable, Jess... she could have wanted to take advantage of you, Jess..!" I'll take you home!'  Persuade Al to Jessy .

Alex snorted in dislike as he looked at the man in front of him who was hindering his steps. Jessy's words made her smile.

"Maybe the one with me now is a criminal and he is not like you who from the outside looks good and uses a uniform that is able to make women instantly fall in love with you because of your prowess .... but for me now it is better with a good man who has no wife and loves me than with a married woman who only makes me hurt at his abandonment ... I hope you don't care about me anymore! .. I've forgiven you and I'll never hope for you again, Al!" Jessy looked at the man in front of her.

Jessy's fingers squeezed the fingers of Alex who was still holding it as if it needed strength to face Al.  The two Als understood their respective positions and the war gazes were already present between them.

"You better appreciate the will of my future wife, and keep in mind you left her first, so let her be happy with her choice ," Strictly Alex while staring cynically at the man in uniform.

"Just prove it.. Don't talk too much!. ... and please don't bother Jessy anymore, and if you cross the line, I'll beat you up!"  Ato....Jessy, we're leaving this place!' Alex was quick and then he walked over to the body of Ballawa, who was standing in front of him, Alex pulls Jessy's fingers to leave Al still standing in his way and leaves the man in the brown uniform unable to say anything more.

Alex still clasped Jessy's fingers as she climbed down the stairs and looked at Jessy who was still looking down at the stairs floor. Alex is convinced, Jessy is not afraid to fall slipping from the stairs but still think of the man who was once his past.

In his steps, Alex went down the second floor steps of the police station, stared at by Jessy who was like a child who lost hope. Alex and the two lawyers split up on the first floor in silence and a wave of hands. There was no comment from the two men who were adept at arguing at the trial. Alex pulls Jessy to her parked car not far from the lobby.

At the end of the entrance, Alex still saw that there were still protesters who still did not let Handoyo arrested by the police. Alex remembers a friend Jessy still had to pick up, but the woman next to him is still walking in silence.

"You don't want to cry, Jess?" Ask Alex slowly. "This time I'll let you cry for that man one last time!"

Alex's words are like activating Jessy's tear button, which since last time when he met Ballawa has been in the custody of the tears to spill. Jessy wasn't crying over her parting with Ballawa that should have happened from the failure of their marriage. Jessy weeps for her stupidity and years of mourning her for Al's loss in her life.

Jessy cried loudly back in Alex's arms that wet the man's shirt. He cried with wounds that made Alex's heart feel pain and made the man say in his heart.

"He hurt your heart, Jess, but it's me who will make you heal from your wounds and who will take care of you, Jessy!" I promise I won't make you cry like this again and I hope that if we are together later there are tears of happiness... 'Al whispered in his heart and was able to be heard by Jessy .

Jessy looked up and looked at the man still teary. Alex said, I hope what's in this man's heart isn't a lie anymore.

God has learned enough about the loss and failure of love, may he be the right man you sent me. Whisper Jessy and hug back Alex. I want to have happiness in my day. Can this man be God?"

"thank you Al, may we really be given the ease of being together!" Jessy's voice was slow but she was heard by the man.
