Another Life of Jodie

Jodie was stroking her belly. He was mourning his sad fate while sitting alone in a mosque.

For the past few days, Jodie has been sleeping in the mosque. He has no money to pay the rent. While the owner of the restaurant does not want to give his salary in advance. Jodie was given only a daily salary. It was also because Jodie begged for a reason to eat and her daily needs.

At least, Jodie feels that her current life is still better than her having to live with her mother and stepbrother. Even if you live in a nice house. The house that will be the next witness after her humble home before, a place that will be hell for Jodie because she will have to accept harsh treatment from Ainsley and also Ann. Not only is it rude to insult and scold her, but also Jodie will be beaten if they are in a bad mood.

Jodie has always been an outlet for the anger of mother and son. All this time Jodie did not dare to fight them. He was silent only when their hands ravaged Jodie's body from head to toe.

If it wasn't for her late father who left a legacy of the House, Jodie would have run away from the House. He stayed in the house to get the inheritance rights of the House. But as it turned out, Jodie had stepped too late, because Ann had secretly mortgaged the House certificate to a loan shark.

Upon learning of this, Jodie feels that her life has been wasted due to years of living in the deception of her mother and stepsister.

In her reflection, Jodie could not bear her grief. Her tears spilled over the back of her hand which was on top of her stomach which she was still stroking. She can also feel the baby's movements that continue to kick her stomach.

Jodie thought it was a strong kick from her twins, because of the sadness she was feeling right now. Jodie realized that her grief could also be felt by the baby in her stomach.

"I'm sorry Mother Dear. I've made your lives miserable while you were in my belly. I pray that I can give you the best life after you are born."

"I'm also confused, how can I raise money for the cost of giving birth to you later? If you have to wait for compassion from others, you can't accept it. But hopefully there are good people who will lend you money for the cost of giving birth to you later."

In a different place, in a luxury apartment. Aaron's Apartment.

Aaron thought of Jodie. He was so curious about Jodie's whereabouts that he couldn't sleep well every night.

That's the bond Aaron felt with the baby in Jodie's womb. As his biological father, Aaron increasingly feels, makes Aaron want to continue to see Jodie as soon as possible.

"But, where is that woman?"Aaron is upset about his current situation. In fact, a lot of money that he has like can not help the difficulties and anxiety at this time.

"Can't that woman stay in place and let me help her?!!"

"Excuse me, neng."

Tedengar sound of a middle-aged woman who came to Jodie who was fast asleep in the corner of the mosque.

Jodie woke up and saw someone talking to her.

"Grandma wants to ask. Who is this neng? You see, Grandma noticed that neng has been in this mosque for almost a week."

"My Name Is Jodie, grandma. I have been sleeping here for the past six days, because I have not been able to get a rented house for me to live in."

"Loh, kenaoa? In this area a lot of houses are rented."

"Look, grandma. About that..." Jodie hesitated to say.

The grandmother immediately understood. He touched Jodie's hand and asked her to come with him.

"Come on. Follow Grandma home. Incidentally, in the yard of grandma's house there is an empty room that you can use for you to stay for a while, until your money is collected to contract the House."

"Ta-but, Grandma. Later I will trouble grandma, especially since I am pregnant."

"I can understand your difficulties right now, even though I'm new to you. But I'm sure you're a good person."

Jodie feels a little relieved because she can finally meet a good person and wants to help her sincerely.

Jodie immediately packed up to follow the grandmother to her home.

The house was not too far from the mosque, and upon arrival in front of the grandmother's House, Jodie was immediately invited into the yard grandmother.

"This is a room you can occupy. Once this was a warehouse, but now it's just an empty room after the goods in it were sold by grandmother's grandchildren."

"Who does Grandma live with here?"

"Same as Grandma. His Name Is Ardias."

"Oh, I see."

"Yes, now you rest. If you need help, you can just knock on grandma's door."

"Thank you very much, grandma. If my grandmother does not help me to stay, I do not know how long I will sleep in the mosque."

"Grandma is happy to help you. Because Grandma is lonely if grandma's grandchildren are working. When Ardias came home at night, he also left in the morning. So, grandma was home alone. If there is Neng Jodie, I can talk to you."

Jodie smiled at her grandmother's words.

"What should I call my grandmother?"

"Just call Grandma. Grandma's name, Grace."

"Yes, grandma."

Grace's grandmother also left Jodie in the 3x4 square meter room alone.

Then, Jodie sat on the edge of the small-sized bed as she let out a rough breath. He looked at the small room. Although for Jodie the space is worth her while, but if you remember who the biological father is for the Twins in her womb right now, it feels sad for her to be in a facility as bad as this.

The room is minimal lighting and also quite dirty. Jodie had to clean the room first before she stayed.

"This is how poor my life is, until I can't get a comfortable shelter easily."

A week later...

Aaron and Ainsley's engagement day has finally arrived.

Unmitigated, Louise held her son's engagement ceremony at a five-star hotel and invited many VVIP guests to the important event.

Aaron was forced to do Louise's request for Louise's health so that his mother could live a long life.

Right now, Aaron is talking to some invited guests and some of his closest friends from college. He spoke in the middle of the room quietly. Then Micah came and whispered in Aaron's ear.

"Sir, I already know where Miss Jodie is at the moment."

"Really?"

"Yes, sir. He lives not far from the capital."

"Then, we go there now!"

"What? There now? No way, sir. The engagement ceremony of Mr. and Ainsley will begin soon."

"I don't care."Said Aaron, who then immediately left the event building.

"Aaron!"

But, his departure was immediately prevented by his father. Alferd immediately walked quickly to his son.

"Where Are you going?"Asked Alferd in a huff.

Aaron and Mikho immediately glanced at each other.
