Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Julia touched the big hand that touched her cheek.

"Then, I'm going to show you something. Might be, it would be useful. Maybe, not. But I really wanted to show it to you. And ask."

Muliawan's and Harry's curiosity grew. They had never done any briefing before. Harry watched Julia's movements. As Julia took something out from under one of her clothes.

All eyes stared at the shining object.

A necklace with a butterfly decoration as a pendulum.

Muliawan was momentarily amazed. He didn't move for a few seconds. And then rubbed his mouth nervously. He hadn't seen the necklace in a long time. And now, after he saw the necklace again. His old memories were clear in his head at that moment.

"This is the necklace I was wearing when I was found. My adoptive father told me to keep it so that one day I could find my family. Then, can you explain? Does this have anything to link with Jenny?"

Muliawan laughed out loud. He grabbed Julia and hugged her. Happiness was implied more clearly on his face and eyes that shine brightly.

Harry and Julia waited for an explanation. Muliawan then let go of his embrace after a feeling of relief enveloped him.

"You're Jenny!" said Muliawan.

"I've believed that you are Jenny. And I'm happy about this."

Julia and Harry looked at each other.

Muliawan spoke again loudly.

"This is your mother's necklace, pretty. I gave it to you. And with this, I want her to take care of you always. And it's proven!"

Julia felt an immense emotion envelop her whole heart and soul. She kept crying full of emotion and didn't stop until she felt better. Muliawan hugged Julia tighter.

Harry looked at this scene with satisfaction. He was glad he had made the right action. And the results have paid off from now on. Harry then smiled in satisfaction as he looked at the two of them with relief feeling.

Muliawan kept talking until Julia felt better.

"This necklace was my wedding gift to Daissy. I proposed to her with this necklace. Then, I also designed it by myself according to Daissy's, your mother's liking."

Muliawan looks so happy.

"Your mother really likes butterflies. She liked their shape. And she loved anything that displays their shape. So, I have especially demanded a great designer to design it according to my imagination. Then, there's no way it's fake."

Harry had not expected such a unique story to exist. He didn't even think that Muliawan would be so romantic and fascinated by his late wife.

Harry saw a reflection of himself in Muliawan's figure. So, he started to wonder. Did all the men in his family really have that kind of personality without exception?

Julia blushed shyly in her happiness.

Muliawan still grumbled.

"I should have recognized you in sooner. I keep feeling Daissy's warm eyes in yours. But I kept wanting to doubt it. So I'm really sorry. And thanks for coming back to me. Then, this is the happiest day for me after decades have passed."

Muliawan finally looked at Harry.

"Say whatever you want. As long as I can do it. I would be willing to do it.

Muliawan's drastic mood change took Harry by surprise.

Harry certainly would not have missed this precious opportunity. He spoke warmer and softer.

"Just come back to Theodore's family. Then, meet grandma. Because I'm sure she really misses you. I also want all of this trouble to end. And we don't have to fight each other anymore."

Muliawan looked doubtful. He wasn't the kind of guy who would take back the words he already dared to say. But to return to Theodore's family and meet Sofia. Muliawan still needs more time and preparation.

This time, he couldn't promise.

"I will see the situation later. And don't force me. Because I just said that I will do whatever you ask if I am able and willing."

Harry didn't insist. At least, he had conveyed the good intentions of the family and he didn't want any more strife.

Muliawan did not stop staring at his daughter and kissed her forehead.

Harry stared at the sight with resignation. He distanced himself and went outside. Met Lukas by accident. Then asked that man not to come into the room and escorted him to another room to relax for a while.

Luke followed Luke's request. He is a sensitive man. Then, he seemed to be able to see the good news on Harry's bright face. He also briefly caught a glimpse of Muliawan's cheerful face when Harry opened the door of his Master's room.

Julia was almost at a loss for words. After Muliawan said he was willing to accommodate Julia at his house. Also, taking good care of her and protecting her. Muliawan was also willing to take responsibility for the time they have spent without being together.

Muliawan promised to make Julia feel comfortable in her new home and life. He wouldn't let Julia suffer. Then, he was willing to do whatever Julia asked of him.

Julia's imagination of how cold and gloomy Muliawan's nature was had vanished in an instant. Her mind changed. She also did not want to continue to be narrow-minded by assuming that Muliawan does not have a nice side.

She didn't want to judge someone from other people's eyes. Especially if that person was her biological father.

Muliawan also wanted to call his daughter's name.

"Jenny. I know you're used to being called Julia. But I want to keep calling you Jenny."

Julia got the point.

"Do what makes you comfortable, Dad."

Julia had no desire to push. She wasn't used to it, indeed. But gradually, she will surely get used to it.

Lukas entered Muliawan's study after giving them more time to be together. He brought them two cups of new tea and invited them to take a sip.

Lukas reports Harry's whereabouts.

"Mr. Harry has come home. And he reported that he would be entrusting Miss Julia for a while. He will come back here, it knows when. Then would ask Miss Julia's wish one day. Does she want to stay with you? Or come with him back."

Julia and Muliawan looked at each other.

Muliawan didn't say anything more after he realized that Julia still needed time to adapt. He asked Lukas to prepare the sleeping room for her. And take Julia to rest. Julia agreed and followed Luke's lead.

Leaving Muliawan alone with his thoughts.

***

Harry was busy calling someone to make a surprise. He had arrived at his hotel room. Then he too was busy packing. Plans to return to his hometown as soon as possible. After his dealings with Julia and Muliawan finished.

Harry, several times, placed a strong emphasis on the person on the other end of the line.

"Make sure to don't make anything mistake. Make everything perfect. Then I'll give you two double tips."

Harry had reserved one special area for him to spend time with Cleo. He had prepared various kinds of romantic ornaments for them. He had also asked Dirga to arrange for Cleo to arrive at the place without knowing about Harry was already there and was waiting for her.

Harry sent a message to Sofia after he remembered his obligation to tell Julia whereabouts and the touching encounter he saw today.

Harry really wished he could share this joyful moment in person. And officially reunite Julia and Sofia.

The man was busy typing.

[ "Grandma, I have great and happy news for you. I would tell grandma as soon as I returned. Then, make sure grandma hears this directly using grandma's ears and eyes." ]

Harry also sent a message to Dirga to immediately order his return ticket. Asked him to pick him up from the airport. Then didn't give this news of his return to Cleo as a surprise.

Harry lay his head and body for a moment on the sofa. He felt everything flow like water and so smoothly after he managed to find Jenny. The task has now been completed. He didn't have much to worry about.

He just needs to come back and be by the side of the people he cares about and his family. The entire of that was became Harry's new plan. He was determined to fulfill his promise to Cleo. To take her on vacation and please her heart.

Everything was supposed to happen that way.
