"... What are you doing here, Jay?"
Unlike the other siblings, Jenn, after seeing her little brother for the first time in a few months, is not happy at all.
"It's Father, he orders me to call you back, sister"
"No, I don't want to"
Hearing Jenn's rejection, Jay takes a deep breath.
"Haaa, I know you would say that, after what he did, That is understandable"
"So, why are you still here?"
The day that Rijal comes to the Robins household, Jenn's father, the Robins Family Patriarch fully knows that what Rijal says is just nonsense, but Rijal knows Jenn's father's nature, so he brings a lot of money and some jewelry with him and presented it to Jenn's father, that is why, the engagement is possible, and Jenn is disappointed to her father decision.
"But this time is different, Sister, you are the one who knows best how Father was before... He became like this only because of the pain he felt from losing our mother"
"Yes, but because I know him, that makes me feel very disappointed towards him.... It never occurred to me... Even in my wildest imagination that he would 'sell' me like that... Never"
"..."
-------
Before Jenn's little brother, Jay, came, Taufik and the two women were watching some K-drama on television, but seeing the drama in front of them right now, Taufik and Linda looked at each other, though the same thing.
'... This drama is more interesting' x2
And then continued to watch the two siblings more seriously, having no intention of entering into their conversation.
"But sister, this time is really different"
"What's the difference?"
At those questions, Jay has a hard time answering, but he still has to answer them because no matter what, he has to bring back his sister home today to see their father.
"... Father is sick, and he's dying, so he asks you to back"
"... What? How?"
Hearing from her brother that their father was dying, Jenn was surprised.
"You know why mother is dead right, He also suffers the same"
"But, how was that possible? When I left the house, he just looked fine... If he also suffered that curse, h-how he..."
Jenn unable to say any more words, remembering what happened to her mother, just opened an old Pain she wanted to forget.
"You know that mother is just like you, can't go any higher than intermediate Realm, so She couldn't resist the curse for too long, but Father is different"
"..."
Jenn's father, the Robins Family Patriarch "John Jennifer Robins" in the past, when he was still young, the people called him a genius who only existed once in one thousand years period, Someone capable of equalling or even surpassing the unknown Robins ancestor that in grandmaster Realm.
Because of that title, he grew to be arrogant and Looked down on everyone.
Calling them inferior species, but that changed when he entered high school.
Like ordinary people, magician have their own school, but it is just for high school; for elementary school and middle school, they still have to attend a normal school.
Jenn's parents meet at that magic school, at first, because Jenn's mother has the same disabled core as Jenn, although she is a beautiful woman and smart, she still becomes a bullying object, and John is the leader of the group who Usually bullies her, but Jenn's mother is not someone who is easy to give up and when John bully her, she always fights back.
-A/N-( "In case someone is asking" besides the seven magician family in Indonesia, there are other magician families too, usually they are former members Who decided to become independent or someone who once worked in those big families, they just ordinary family who know magic )
And just like that, from that bullying, John knows her bit by bit, he knows her background, he knows what her nature is, he knows what she has been through, and he slowly falls in love with all of that.
From hatred to love, from victims to lovers, he loves everything about her, he wants to know all about her, and he wants all of her love just for him, so for that, he changes himself.
Changing someone's perspective on you is something difficult to do.
Just to be her Friend is hard enough for John, but his hard work doesn't betray him, and after much hard work he finally becomes friends with her.
From Friends to crushes, from crushes to lovers, and from lovers, they become family, a happy ending story if they live in some fairytale.
But the reality is reality, and unfortunately, their ending is a tragic one.
John's wife, John's World, died.
-------
"He endures the curse, but when you leave the curse gets worse day by day, I don't know why, but maybe because you are the one who most resembles Mother, your leaving the house, awakens him and just adds more Pain to him"
"..."
"So can you come to me to see him, at least that will ease his Pain even if it just a little"
Jenn remembers her mother and then her father, the memory she has with them.
"... Ok, but I will bring my boyfriend too, it's okay"
"Hufft, okay,.....Wait? A boyfriend?"
When Jay heard the word 'Boyfriend' in his sister's mouth, he was surprised.
"Yeah, you have met him, it's him"
Jenn then pointed to Taufik.
"WHAT!!, THIS YOUNG MAN?! I thought this was your friend's home, and he was just her child, but a Boyfriend? Sister..."
Jay looked at Taufik, Then said in a small voice.
"... He younger than me"
Taufik, who suddenly Jenn brought into the conversation, looks annoyed by what Jay said; even if he says it in a small voice, Taufik still can hear that.
"Hey, what I told you if you said something I didn't like, again?"
"S-sorry, I just surprised, sorry"
Jenn, looking at Jay, who is afraid of Taufik, looks confused.
"Dear, what are do to my brother?"
"...Nothing"
Taufik said, then looked at Jay with an intimidating gaze.
'If you tell her, you're dead'
What Jay heard from his gaze.
"... It so, then as you heard, you will come with me to my house, okay?"
Taufik, who heard what Jenn said, answered it, but his gaze was still on Jay.
"Yeah, everything for you Jenn"
Jenn just smiles at what Taufik said, but different from Jenn, Jay feels threatened.
"Alright, so when we will go, Jay"
"Hmm, If you don't mind, we'll go right now"
"Hmm okay, then wait, I'll take a shower first"
Then Jenn leaves Jay alone with Taufik and Linda in the living room.
'Sister, don't leave me, your brother will die if you leave now!!!'...
