After lunch ended, Romeo left for Adam's opa work. Juliet returns to her room to complete a delayed class assignment.
"Come on Romeo. Just sit there." opa Adam let. And Romeo did as Adam asked.
Romeo did not know why he was called like this after they arrived in Jakarta. Honestly, Romeo was a little nervous. He's a little scared if Juliet's family knows something. Hopefully not as he thinks.
"You must be confused as to why opa called you like this." Opa Adam smiled at Romeo. "To be honest, I was a little curious about opa. I remember when I was in California. Like Dejavu tastes." I'm Romeo.
When he was in California, Romeo would always be called like this if he had done something that was not in accordance with the wishes of his father. In other words, Romeo will be interrogated and forced to admit his wrongdoing.
But right here now, Romeo can't guess the slightest purpose of Adam's opa. "I'm sorry to make Romeo's son uncomfortable."
"It's okay opa. I'm just saying what I feel." My mouth. Almost aja. Inner Romeo. "Actually the opa called you because the opa wanted to ask what your plans were after this. Have you guys decided anything? because as far as you know, you'll also be back in California soon." a slight fret bias is seen on an Adam's face.
Romeo could understand what Adam might be worried about. Of course, as a newlywed, Romeo should not have left Juliet nor did he separate his wife from the family who had raised him. "Well, please take it easy, I'm going back to California, but for a little while, I'm going to take care of Juliet like I promised opa."
"I know that my wife can't be far from opa and Oma either. That's why I won't..
"Opa wants you to bring Juliet Romeo" said opa Adam interrupting. Romeo. His second look was glued. "When you get back to California, please take Juliet with you to Romeo." Adam's opa once again.
"But opa, not Juliet.."
"Opa knows son. But instead of us wanting to make our beloved grandson leave us and this house immediately, we never thought so" Adam said solemnly.
"Only, opa and Oma have other wishes that we cannot tell our grandchildren, especially Juliet. And our wish will only come true if you can take Juliet away with you. That's why opa told you this. Because according to this opa for our common good."
Adam also could not tell Romeo the reason behind his request even though Romeo could be trusted.
And according to Adam, his plan to take his wife abroad can only be realized if their beloved grandson is left with the right person.
Adam and his wife did not want to worry their grandchildren. That's why their journey is kept secret, even from her oldest granddaughter, Lily.
"We'll just feel a lot calmer if you keep Juliet and keep her around you." without asking for anything Romeo really wants to do. Because Juliet is now his responsibility. But Adam's opa request did not match the talks between him and Juliet.
Of course Romeo would feel incredibly happy if he could take Juliet to California with him. However, they had agreed that Juliet would come to California after Juliet completed her studies in Jakarta. And Romeo agreed.
But considering how Adam's opa spoke privately like this to him, it seems like Adam's opa request isn't as simple as he's heard. Are they not satisfied with marrying their grandchildren? or do they really want to be a great-grandchild? Oh God. Romeo's face met slightly as he thought about that.
"Opa, sorry if this sounds a little unpleasant to opa. I was so happy when opa said that. And as a husband, of course I also want if my wife is always near me. But the problem is, Juliet has already made the decision to stay in Jakarta until her college is over, because of that... "
Romeo surrender. He really could not guess what Adam's opa was really thinking.
"All opa. I'll talk to Juliet. But I didn't promise to change his decision. Opa must know how the opa grandchildren behave" said Romeo smiling faintly. It's not easy to change a Juliet's decision.
"alright boy. I hope Juliet will listen to you. Opa really hopes this can happen."
...❄️❄️...
After a long talk with Opa Adam, Romeo has returned to his room. The room he and Juliet are currently using together.
"Hey.. What else is it?" Romeo notices Juliet being serious at the table while listening to one of her favorite songs.
"Oh hi.. Did you say that? speaking what? I'm again doing a delayed task." Juliet squinted at Romeo. "Well, don't you suspect me?" ask Juliet who has turned her chair facing Romeo.
Romeo sat on the bed with a deep smile. In his heart he was confused to find a way to talk to Juliet about Adam's opa request.
"Not calm down. Opa was just wondering about my plan to go back to CF back again." Juliet nodded in understanding, because she had known Romeo's plan before.
"O, yeah. Your job is a lot, right? can I help you?" romeo volunteered to complete his wife's duties. "Don't do it. Does Lo understand? Tell me the difference in majors." reject Juliet clearly.
"Who knows if I can help you." Romeo sighed rarely. Then he laid his body down while glancing at Juliet. "Emmm.. You want to get out? there's something I want to talk to Lo, all of you stop by the apartment bentar." invite Romeo.
"Well, what's the talk? can't be here talking about rest. Tell me just nyampe, is it not jet lag..?"
"It's not ordinary. But if Lo is tired, it's okay too." said Romeo again undo his intentions.
"Emang Lo wants to say what the hell?" ask Juliet who is now starting to be curious. Romeo sat back down, wove his hands together with a knotty smile. "Udahlah entaran aja. Continue to learn Lo, I want to call first. Happy learning, my wife." said Romeo with an anxious smile.
"Ih.. What the hell, romantic snobs deh Lo. Abis gave me my job, I'm getting ready." Juliet agrees to Romeo's invitation.
"Hem. Yes already. I'll call you first." After his Romeo returned out of the room to the park on the east side. There he again contemplated Adam's request to him.
Romeo could not guess the slightest reason for Adam's opa request. And what does he mean he should take his wife to California? wouldn't it be if Juliet hadn't gone she could have done the opposite?
But whatever the outcome, Romeo will not impose his will, even if it is Adam's opa request. Because Romeo knew, his wife was able to decide everything well. That's how Juliet began to recognize him.
