THE BLUE LOVE
The Blue Love-Episode 31(Who is he?)
JAJA’s Point Of View
“Heart, what are you doing there? You’ve
been staying there for more than an hour.”
I knock the door of the bathroom. Ben had
run to the bathroom when we wake up,
then he acts like he’s feeling nausea.
“I’m okay, sweetie. Just prepare the
breakfast.”
Ben had been quiet yesterday after we
encountered his ex, Olga. I don’t know but
I am feeling threaten because of her
presence. There is a feeling that she’s going
to take Ben from me.
“Heart, Momsh said she want to see me.” I
served him the breakfast.
“Okay, sweetie. Just come home before 5
PM.”
“I have something to tell you, heart.”
“What is it?”
“Have you gone to the hospital? You should
go to have a check up. You’re sick.”
“I’m not sick, sweetie.”
“But you’re crying in pain of your head last
night.”
“It’s just a migraine, sweetie.”
“But I am concern about your health.
You’re demanding about your headaches
and every morning you’re feeling nausea. ”
He smiled. “Okay, sweetie. I’ll have a check
up. Don’t be paranoid.”
“I’m not paranoid. I just want to make sure
you’re alright.”
He took my hand and kiss the back of it.
“Okay, sweetie. I love you.”
“I love you too, heart. Have a check up.”
“Okay, my queen. By the way, where is
your meet up place? I’ll drop you there.”
“Don’t busy yourself, heart. Momsh would
just fetch me here.”
“Alright, I’m leaving. Take care, sweetie.”
.
I ENTERED the restaurant that Momsh had
said to be our meet up place. She couldn’t
fetch me because she have a short errand
to do first. I just wait for her to come. I
choose the table at the very corner to avoid
noise.
“Good morning, ma’am. Can I take your
orders?”
I look up at the waiter just to be
flabbergasted.
“Ed?!” I said in surprise. He was my best
friend back in Uncle’s place.
Ed blink a few times and then stared at me,
remembering me.
“Jaja?!”
I smiled. “The one and only.” I stood up
and hugged him tight. “Oh God! I missed
you, Ed.”
“I miss you too, Jaja. Where have you been?
I didn’t see you on Uncle Troy’s canteen
these past few weeks.”
“Have a sit. I’ll pay your time.” We sit on
the chair. “Uncle Troy sold me to a club,
Ed.”
“What the f--k?!” Ed lowered his face when
the customers nearby look at us. “What a
heartless Uncle.”
I smiled. “How are you?”
“Still, handsome.”
I laughed. “I know. How’s your Mum?”
“They’re doing good. My brother is going to
school this year so I am trying all my best
to earn money for his fees. How about
you? You look rich now, huh?”
“I am rich, Ed. I met my grandmother on
Mum’s side!”
Ed’s eyes widen. “You-your Granny? You
have a living relatives than your Uncle?”
“Yes. She’s here.” We both stand up to face
Momsh.
“Sorry for keeping you wait, darling. Who
is this man?” Momsh asked when she
noticed Ed close to me.
“Momsh, this is Ed, my best friend on Uncle
Troy’s place. Ed, this is Momsh, my
grandmother.”
“Hello, good morning, ma’am,” greeted by
Ed.
“Good morning. You’re Jaja’s bestfriend?
You must know her very well.”
“Not really, ma’am. We just became best
friend for just a year so I don’t know her
very well. I don’t even know that she have
a grandmother.”
“Well, it’s okay. She also have no idea.”
“By the way, can I take your orders,
beautiful ladies?”
Momsh laugh. “I like this man, Jaja.”
Me and Ed giggled. Ed leaved us after he get
our orders.
“I’m so excited to see the results
tomorrow. I know you are my
granddaughter but that result would be
the key to make the information more
stronger.”
“Momsh, are they gonna accept me as their
relative?”
.
I OPENED THE door and saw Ben sitting on
the couch.
“Heart, you’re home early.” I walk towards
him. I stop in front of him.
Seems like didn’t notice me. I kneeled in
front of him.
“Are you okay, heart?” I hold his hand that
made him jump is shock. He look at me.
“Yes. I’m okay. How’s your day, sweetie?”
“Good, heart. How about you? You come
home early.”
“Suffered from headache, sweetie. But I
am okay now. Can you prepare me the
screwpine layered cake? I’m craving for it.”
Even I am confused of his actions, I still did
his request.
“Here’s your cake, heart.” I walk towards
him, he’s staring at his phone.
He look at me, like I am an enemy. I step
back when I saw pain and anger in his eyes.
He slapped me that made me lie down on
the carpet. It’s hurt.
“Where have you been?!” he asked loudly.
“Heart, I meet Momsh. Why are you asking?
I told you about it earlier, right?”
“Really? Meet Momsh? Or you just made it a
cover to meet up with your lover?”
Stunned. “What do you mean? What are
you saying?”
He showed me his phone. A picture of me
and Ed, hugging in the resto, is there.
“Who is he?!”
“He’s my old friend. Our meet up is
unexpected. I miss him that’s why I hug
him. Ben, he’s my friend!”
“Liar!”
“Ben, please! He’s is my friend. Believe
me!” I cried.
He raise his hand aiming to slap me. I
prepared myself for another slap to touch
my face.
“He’s my friend!” I covered myself, trying
to protect myself from him when he hug
me.
“Oh God, I’m sorry. Sweetie, I’m sorry. I’m
sorry.” He’s also crying and hugging me
tight.
“Ben, what’s happening to you?” I asked
between my cries.
“I don’t know. I don’t know.”
