After arriving at the library Jessie went straight to the bookshelf and chose what books to read. It looked like Jim Stark was there too but Jessie ignored the teacher's presence. Jim Stark just looked at Jessie without intending to approach the girl, In the library there are many students reading books and teachers doing their duties in the library. Jim Stark was also worried that if he kept approach Jessie, he and Jessie would become the talk of the school community. He didn't want it to ruin his performance as a teacher, especially since he was new to this school. It looks like Jessie has already chosen the book she wants to read and now she is sitting in the corner. Jim Stark was also curious to see that Jessie was always alone and wondered if the girl had no friends to talk to? A few minutes later Jessie's friends named Cassie, Lisa and Sally showed up, they looked for Jessie in the library. “ Well that's she is! ” Sally said as she pointed towards Jessie. “ Jessie! ” Cassie called out. “ Please don't be loud, this is a library not a market! ” said the prefect who was also on duty at the library. Jessie who heard someone calling her immediately hinted for Cassie, Lisa and Sally to approach her. “ Oh sorry, Ms Prefect ” Cassie apologized, then the three girls went to Jessie. “ What are you doing here? ” Sally asked Jessie. “ What am I doing here? Can't you see I'm reading a book?! ” Jessie said, strangely, what kind of question was Sally asking her. “ It's not like that, I mean why do you always come to the library, you usually never come here if there's no problem? ” Sally asked Jessie. “ That's true, really bumpy? ” Sally's words were agreed by Cassie and Lisa in unison. “ What's your problem really? ” This time it was Lisa's turn to ask. “ I don't have any problem, what's the matter with you guys looking for me all the way here? ” Jessie asked. “ We forgot to tell you that the three of us are planning to go to the cinema to watch The Godfather, do you want to watch it with us or not? ” Cassie said to Jessie. “ Oh that movie, played by Marlon Brando right? ” Jessie asked, this time only a nod from her three best friends. “ Yes, I want to watch it but I have to ask my mom's permission first... are you not tired standing there? sit down! there is a chair but it's not sitting, you're weird! ” Jessie said, dizzy to see the three creatures standing in front of her, then Cassie, Lisa and Sally sat down immediately. “ Besides us, who else do you three invite to watch? ” Jessie asked again, this time the faces of her three best friends turned red like boiled crabs. Jessie could already guess that they were taking their respective boyfriends. “ Don't worry, you won't be alone. There is also Allan there ” Cassie answered but this time Jessie just kept quiet. After coming home from school now Jessie is getting ready to go to the cinema, she has received permission from Jennifer to come out. Jessie was out of the house now waiting for Sally to pick her up. Not long after, the car driven by Sally appeared in the front yard, Jessie got into Sally's car and sat in the back seat because there was already someone sitting next to Sally, namely Steven, Sally's boyfriend. “ Hi Jessie ” Steven greeted Jessie. “ Hi Steven ” Jessie returned Steven's greeting. “ Where are Cassie and Lisa? Did they come themselves? ” Jessie asked about Cassie and Lisa. “ Yes, they came themselves with their respective boyfriends, they told us to just meet at the cinema. If about Allan, he comes on his motorbike ” Steven answered Jessie's question. While Sally who was driving just kept quiet because she wanted to concentrate on the road so that there would be no unwanted accidents if she was careless. Right now Sally's car was cruising at a rather modest speed on the slightly wet asphalt of the road from the rain that soaked the earth. Not long after Jessie came out, Jennifer's car was seen entering the yard, she had just returned from her boutique. After parking the car she went into the house, Jennifer saw that the house was very quiet, she thought Jessie must have gone out with her friends. Jennifer put her handbag in her room and came out of the room again and headed to the kitchen to cook. She opened the serving hood and saw that there were some chicken patties that Jessie had fried before she came out. Then Jennifer took an apron, she wanted to cook soup for dinner because soon her parents would come to the house and spend the night at her house. After arriving at the cinema Jessie and all her friends rushed to the counter to buy tickets, while Steven, Glenn, Joseph and Allan went to buy popcorn and drinks for all of them. After buying tickets and food and drinks, Jessie, Allan, Cassie, Joseph, Sally, Steven, Lisa and Glenn took their seats with their respective lovers. Seen next to Jessie there is also Jim Stark who watched movie The Godfather as well. “ Here's the popcorn for you ” Allan said as he held out the popcorn to Jessie. “ Thank you, Allan ” Jessie thanked Allan while taking the popcorn that Allan had given her. “ You're welcome ” Allan answered, then suddenly he realized Jim Stark was next to Jessie and he greeted Jim Stark. “ Sir Jim Stark watched The Godfather too? ” Allan asked. Jessie, Cassie, Sally, Glenn, Joseph and Steven also looked at Jim Stark. “ Yeah, who did you two come with? ” Jim Stark answered Allan's question as well as asked Allan and Jessie. “ I came on a motorbike, if Jessie was with Sally ” Allan said. “ Did you come alone? ” this time Jessie also asked. “ Well, I just came alone, who do I want to come with? I have no wife ” Jim Stark complains about his fate of having to live alone after being separated from his wife for a dozen years. Meanwhile Jennifer who was cooking soup at her house suddenly coughed. “ Who said my name?! ” Jennifer spoke to herself. “ Well, why don't you just find a girlfriend, sir? I'm sure a man as handsome as you won't have a girl who can refuse you ” Allan started crap. “ I won't, Allan! I will not look for another woman, I still love my wife ” Jim Stark said he felt a little sad when he thought of his wife. “ You have a wife? But why say you don't have a wife? ” Allan asked again, this guy is really busybody! “ I mean my wife isn't by my side right now, we got separated by an accident a dozen years ago and I had amnesia. When I have recovered from amnesia and want to return to my family, it turns out that my wife has moved, I don't know where she is now and I've been looking for her but can't find her ” Jim Stark spoke at length to Allan and Jessie. Jessie and Allan who heard it felt a little touched and sympathized with the fate that befell Jim Stark. “ Be patient, sir, pray a lot. I'm sure that someday God will bring you together with your wife again ” Jessie said while Jim Stark just nodded and hoped Jessie's words would come true one day. He wants to reunite with his wife and restart their romance that was separated by fate. “ The Godfather movie is about to start! Don't all of you be loud! ” Cassie said. “ SHUT UP!! ” the audience who were there scolded Cassie for shouting at her friends to be quiet. Cassie became silent after being scolded. The Godfather movie was about to start, all of them in the cinema were paying their full attention to The Godfather movie, as well as Jim Stark, who turned out the main actor in the movie is his favorite actor, Marlon Brando.
