The President Broken Angel

Jhonia woke up and relaxed herself in bed a bit before she went and took her bath. After she took her shower she got dressed and went downstairs.

“Where is everyone?” Jhonia asked? She is looking around but it seems everyone is still asleep!

“Did I wake up early?” Jhonia asks herself as she looks around after, she realized she decided to go back up to her room and check the time.

It was 6 AM She then went and knocked on Mrs. Pinnock’s room door, there was no answer. She went back downstairs and started baking, banking dishes. After some time the maids began waking and getting themselves ready to begin working. After checking all the rooms, including Jhonia’s, she was missing. Crissian, the maid she spent the tour with, rushed into Mrs. Pinnock’s room.

“Madam. Ms. Jhonia is gone.” Crissian explained herself in a panic tone of voice.

“What? How is this possible?” Mrs. Pinnock asked in shock

She was getting dressed when the maid informed her. She hurriedly put on her bedroom slippers, as they rushed out of her room and down the stairs. As they reached the end of the stairs they smelled delicious cooking. They stood shocked as she had made a lot of bakery cupcakes and other small refreshments.

“You are up early?” Mrs. Pinnock asked? Jhonia looked up and saw Mrs. Pinnock and the maid, Crissian.

“Well! You are all here, I thought everyone had left! I knocked on your room door, Mrs. Pinnock but it seems you were asleep. I have already cleaned my room, so I request that no maids enter or touch anything there without my permission.” Jhonia explained she thought everyone had left, even knocking on Mrs. Pinnock’s room door but no answer, removing her apron walking out from the kitchen towards them.

“My dear, this was the maid’s job. I really hope you adjust to this, I heeded your request but I can’t bear to see you do this.” Mrs. Pinnock said, telling her she’s doing the maid’s job, in a pleading tone of voice, asking her to heed her request as she had done hers.

“Okay, I’ve finished anyway. Mrs. Pinnock, can I escort you back to your room? There is something we should discuss privately.” Jhonia said, asking her to allow her to go back with her to her room because there is something they must speak on alone, she walked to the maid and handed over the apron to Crissian.

“Important I see, please follow me!” Mrs. Pinnock said, turning around and together they began walking back upstairs to go to her room.

“There is an issue with this ten year relationship. See? Ten years ago, I was ten years old and there is no way this will work out favourably! I’m merely 20 years old now! Not 30. So if you haven’t told anyone about the ten year relationship outside of this household, please change it!” Jhonia said as they were going up the stairs but as they reached up the stairs Mrs. Pinnock realized that she was right.

“Yes, I was checking your age difference with my son. He’s 30 and is 10 years older. So I have changed it to four years. He waited for you as you requested but you didn’t believe he would actually wait for you. So I hope this is fine with you?” Mrs. Pinnock said, to explain the difference and tell her how old her husband is and asked?Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“I don’t have a problem with how you decide to go about this, but I don’t think we should disclose this information to anyone, in fact i think it’s we say nothing to no one at all.” Jhonia said, stating she has no problem but she thinks it would be better if things were to stay mysterious.

“You’re right, mysterious but interesting. People will want to know your story but can’t hear it, Jhonia you are very smart.” Mrs. Pinnock said, agreeing with Jhonia as it makes sense and it would protect them, she began smiling at how smart she is.

“And why am I only getting the chance to meet this, my wife..?” A male voice said, as if he was asking her. Jhonia turned around immediately, enlightening the man with her beauty.

“… Hello, I’m Nearce.. Nearce Pinnock.” Nearce said, introducing himself and extending his hand.

“Nice to meet you. Mr. Pinnock, I would prefer you not touch me.” Jhonia said to him, she then smiled as she was trying to not sound rude.

“Skeptical I see. Very.” Nearce said, then added after a moment while looking at her amusingly.

“You can say. I hope you don’t feel offended?” Jhonia said, then asked him?

“If that’s the case, I am not worried at all, no. In fact, I’m pleased because if you’re like this no one will get the chance to stand close or touch you. And as beautiful as you are, I know everyone would like to greet you.” Nearce said, stating his remarks with a smirk on his face, stepping closer to her and complimenting her.

“My wife. I will have to touch you as my wife whom I haven’t seen in a long time, I should embrace you every chance I get. Hold your hands, and kiss you as well.” Nearce said, making him feel superior to her as he leaned in and gave her a wink.

“Jhonia my dear, our guests will soon arrive”

“Of course, I will leave you two to speak,” Jhonia said, cutting Mrs. Pinnock and leaving them.

“Come my son, there are some things you need to know about this, your wife. Jhonia Augusthinea Smith.” Mrs. Pinnock said to her son, as she asked him to follow her.

An hour of explanation later!

“Really?” Nearce asks?

“Yes, she is also very smart! She’s not only beautiful, so keep her close.” Mrs. Pinnock said. explaining to him and tells him to keep her close to him.

“Of course, mom. I will go greet her in front of everyone.” Nearce said, hugging his mother with a kiss on the cheeks before he left her to do her business.

Nearce went downstairs and saw Jhonia greeting everyone as they entered, as there stood a maid with champagne glass another stood with teacups.

“She’s giving them options.” Nearce said, looking down at her surviving the guests. He stood watching with a smile on his face, with both hands in his pockets. His mother soon joins him standing on the top of the stairs watching Jhonia.

“Son, I forgot she’s only twenty years old so… your relationship is of four years, as you had waited for her as she asked? Also,

she signed the contract, please… Do not do unto her as your father did me. She hopes you don’t cheat. As I also… Hope that you don’t go out and cheat on her as your father did on me, it’s my only request.” Mrs. Pinnock said, telling him Jhonia’s age and the change in their relationship. Her voice trembles with hurt within as she requested her son to not cheat on his wife. It was as she was asking him to not die.

She began smiling at Jhonia to hide the fact that her tears are at their peaks. She sobs, taking a deep breath, and began walking down the stairs with a giggle. Nearce then inhaled and exhaled before he began walking down the stairs. He went over to her, Jhonia sees him coming but pretends she didn’t because whatever he was about to do is to show the guest that they are finally getting the chance to hold each other.

“Do you know how much I have missed you?” Nearce asked as he wrapped his arms around her, everyone started to giggle and chuckle at Nearce. As he wasn’t caring about anyone else present and embracing his wife.

“I heard about your don’t cheat request.” He whispered into Jhonia’s ear, Jhonia was surprised but she smiled instead of reacting to his words.

“So don’t cheat Mr. Pinnock, that would look bad on you.” Jhonia said to him then told him why. She continued her smile then closed her eyes and hid her face in his chest!

“Don’t ” Nearce cuts himself off as he remembers his mother’s phrases.

“She doesn’t like make-up so she won’t be wearing any, like who doesn’t like make-up? Hehe, she really is something different, son.” Nearce returns to reality. He smiled and continued to hug her.

“Don’t hide your face.” Nearce said, with a soft teasing chuckle.

After hours of greeting and talking Jhonia pulled herself away from the crowd, she stood at the window gazing out onto the lawn with a cup in her hand of warm tea. Unexpectedly she was hugged from behind. She didn’t react, instead she let him embrace her.

. For the sake of the good image of this marriage. Sigh. Jhonia thoughts.
