Chapter 5 - JEAN PROBLEMS

After she was done with her work, Nadia came out of the greenhouse and went to the back garden to meet Jean.

"Jean, you're daydreaming?" Nadia asked when she arrived at the park to see Jean sitting with empty eyes towards Jean's artificial pool.

Jean turned to Nadia and smiled.

"Sit down." said Jean slightly shifting his seat.

"Is there any problem? until you are like this?" Nadia asked slightly narrowed her eyes at Jean's face, who was really sad.

"Hem... My father is very sick right now. And I don't know what else to do to fulfill my father's wishes." said Jean with a gaze that could not escape towards the pool.

"Indeed, What are your dad asking?" asked Nadia curiously.

Jean glanced at Nadia, then looked back at the pond in front of him.

"Father asked me to get married." said Jean as he took a deep breath.

"Then? what's the problem now? You can marry Vivian, right?" said Nadia knowing enough about Jean's relationship with Vivian which had been quite long.

Jean was silent, did not answer Nadia's question.

"Why are you silent?" asked Nadia, increasingly curious.

Jean took a deep breath.

"Vivian is not ready to get married. Even I asked to get engaged, Vivian still didn't want to." said Jean telling everything what had happened to Nadia. Until the story where Vivian asked to end the relationship.

"Oh, my God!! I can't believe this Jean! how could Vivian be that calm with you!" said Nadia with a face that was furious and annoyed.

Jean was silent, could only play with his drink can.

"Now what's your plan, Jean?" asked Nadia sadly, looking at the injured Jean.

"I do not know. What do you think I should do? did I let my father die in disappointment?" asked Jean with a look full of sorrow.

"Jean, how about i help you." said Nadia with a full gaze.

"You mean?" Jean asked, staring back at Nadia with an incomprehensible look.

Nadia was silent for a moment, then looked at Jean seriously.

"How about we play in front of your father?" said Nadia giving advice to Jean.

Hearing Nadia's unclear words, immediately Jean turned his body to face Nadia.

"I still don't get it. What plays do you mean?" asked Jean seriously.

Nadia took a deep breath.

"I do not know, my idea is good or not. To be sure I want to help you. We will play in front of your father when we are engaged." said Nadia with a serious look.

"Don't Nadia, I don't want to involve you in my troubles. Your idea can make Dad even hope that I will get married soon. And it's gonna get you into big trouble with me." said Jean with a complicated look.

"Then? what ... you have other ideas? so that your father is happy at the end of his life?" Nadia asked, looking at Jean's face deeply.

"I still don't know." Jean replied really didn't want to bother Nadia.

"Why don't you just try my idea. The important thing is your father can be healthy again. We can think about the next problem later." said Nadia, not wanting to see Jean sad.

Jean stared at Nadia's face for a long time.

"I just don't want you to get into my troubles Nadia? I'm afraid you will later regret your crazy idea." said Jean staring Nadia's eyes looking for sincerity there.

"I told you, if there is a problem later, we will find a way out together." said Nadia earnestly.

Instantly Jean hugged Nadia very tightly.

"You are my best friend." said Jean calmly after the problem he was facing found a way out.

"You are also my best friend. Are you calm now?" asked Nadia with a smile.

Jean nodded his head.

"Thank you Nadia, I have a debt to you now. If you have a problem, you should also tell me. I will definitely help you." said Jean as he finished his drink.

"You can pay your debt now. You have to take me home. It is late, I don't wanna wait for the city till morning." said Nadia, looking at her watch, which showed ten o'clock at night.

"Of course Miss Nadia, without you asking I will definitely take you home." said Jean as he stood up from his seat.

"Jean." called Nadia after remembering something.

"Hem... What?" said Jean standing in front of Nadia.

"When did your plans take me to your dad? I don't want when you invite me there, I already work at someone else's place." said Nadia, wanting to explain something about her new job.

"What you mean? you don't work at my place anymore?" asked Jean with a frown.

"If you still allow me to continue working here. But the timing is not like now. Maybe I can't come here every day." said Nadia staring at Jean's face, which turned serious.

"Where do you want to work? aren't you still working at the hospital? " asked Jean with an incomprehensible look.

"I was discharged from the hospital two days ago. And I've decided I'm going to work for Mr. Daren's. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. " said Nadia a little hesitant to tell about her job as a gardener.

"What is Nadia? have you stopped working? What is wrong? Did you have a problem at the hospital?" asked Jean curiously.

"I have no problem at the hospital. I just wanted a new atmosphere. Think of it as looking for experience. " said Nadia with a smile.

"You work at Mr Daren's house, Do you work as a nurse Jonathan?" asked Jean with a full gaze.

Nadia was surprised to hear Jean's words as if he already knew Jonathan.

"Do you know Jonathan?" asked Nadia with a search of her eyes.

"Yes... Jonathan my friend, I got to know him when we were at the surf match. Jonathan and I both like sports. Before he got into an accident. Now the opposite, Jonathan hates sports." replied Jean at length, telling him a little about Jonathan.

"Why is that? why Jonathan hates sports activities?" asked Nadia curiously.

"Because Jonathan had an accident while participating in a car race and Jonathan has to sit in a wheelchair forever." replied jean with a sad face.

Nadia is silent, feeling sad to hear the story about Jonathan from Jean.

But the feeling of sadness suddenly brushed aside hard.

"I can't be weak, Jonathan became paralyzed because of Mr. Daren's punishment that hurt my mother. " said Nadia to herself.

"So...You will now work as a nurse Jonathan, Nadia?" asked Jean again confirming his thoughts.

Nadia shook her head.

"Not! I'm not working there as a nurse Jonathan." Nadia replied with disappointment.

"Then? What do you work as?" asked Jean, increasingly curious.

Nadia looked up, very hesitant to answer Jean's question.

"I worked there as a gardener." replied Nadia in a low voice.

"What is Nadia??? as a gardener??"
