"Ka-, are you Arsen's sister? You serious?" dioneel asked, his eyes round.
Aletta nodded. "There's a lot I want to ask you,"
Dioneel shook his head, he still could not believe what Aletta had just said. How could Arsen have a sister? Arsen never told him about his family, but wouldn't it be to protect his family if something bad happened to him?
"Prove it to me!" sue Dioneel, she doesn't want to believe it.
Aletta took out a photo from her purse and she gave a picture of her with Arsen embracing each other with a laugh. "Is that enough for you to prove that I'm Arsen's sister?"
With trembling hands, Dioneel took the photo and looked at Aletta in disbelief. "You're spying on me?"
Aletta shook her head. "Where is it possible, right? You kidnapped me first, where might I be a spy! Put your brains on, Dioneel! I just found out you're Arsen's friend from Raline. The woman told me everything, even though she didn't know what happened to Arsen,"
"Rilaine? Where did you meet him? I've lost contact for a long time" said Dioneel, again doubting Aletta's remarks.
Aletta tells how she met Raline. "He came to the showroom, wanted to buy a unit, and as soon as he saw my face, he said I was similar to someone he knew. And he just said Arsen's name,"
"After that, he asked me for permission to meet Arsen and he told me everything in my house" Aletta said.
"D-, is he alive? I mean, is Arsen alive? She survived? Tell me, he survived!" hatch Dioneel. The man broke out in cold sweat and trembled. He rubbed his face with both hands.
Aletta sees Dioneel's face change and she thinks Dioneel did know what happened to Arsen, until her brother became what he is today.
"He's alive, Dioneel. But, he's sick. Trauma" Aletta replied.
"Now, let me ask you. What happened that night? Why did you leave my brother on the street? Raline told me you were best friends. As I wish, a friend will never leave another friend. Be it happy or difficult" said Aletta long. Suddenly his emotions peaked, considering the suffering of his brother who was left alone in the middle of the road in a state of severe injury and near death.
Dioneel closed his eyes and he buried his face at the wheel of the car. As he spoke, the sounds that came out were like the sounds of moans and cries. "That's my fault. I left him just because I was afraid the police would come and arrest me,"
"I'm also afraid that I'll have to take responsibility if Arsen dies. At that time, I had the same fear. Both are afraid of death. We were attacked just like that and we were outnumbered by our enemies" Dioneel replied.
Aletta could feel the pain in Dioneel's voice. She could understand the fear that had plagued Dioneel and his friends back then, but she could not understand why they had left her brother alone. That's what made Aletta angry.
"But that doesn't mean you can leave my brother alone, right! The police found her and they immediately took Arsen to the emergency department. At that time, I was getting ready for work and the police came to me and drove me to the hospital. Upon arrival, I was asked to sign the operation. After that, I never again saw my normal brother. I presume that the old Arsen is dead and I have a little gift from God in the form of a new Arsen. Who will never fight with me again, who will never babble me about the clothes I wear, or even forbid me to go on a date with a guy who thinks he's not nice" Aletta said, her eyes glazed over as she recalled her memories with Arsen before her brother suffered the mental breakdown he had now.
As if reading Dioneel's mind, Aletta nodded. "Yes, that night Arsen tried to escape while screaming. That day, he didn't take his medicine,"
"Yes, God. Can I meet him?" ask Dioneel. "At the very least, I can apologize and make amends to her,"
"She won't remember that and most likely won't remember you. My sister forgot Raline," Aletta replied resignedly.
Dioneel again rubbed his hands on his face. He took a deep breath and exhaled it long. "Did you take her to the doctor? Or to a big hospital?"
"We control it every month. Doctors said Arsen had to take the drug for the rest of his life. Almost a year so far, doctors say Arsen hasn't shown any signs of improvement" Aletta replied. "I'm almost desperate, too, but if I remember Arsen being my only family, I can't just give up, can I?"
"I work and make money just for my brother. I wish there was a miracle happening. So that one day, I'll find Arsen smiling at me when I wake up from my sleep" Aletta said.
Yes, that is the only dream and desire of the beautiful girl. He just wanted to see his brother's recovery. For this reason, he struggled and worked without knowing the time.
"I never thought Arsen would end up like this. From that night on I could never sleep peacefully because I was constantly overshadowed by my guilt. I'm afraid Arsen is dead, because there's no word from him. It's like disappearing from the face of the earth" Dioneel said.
He paused for a moment and looked ahead. "If you ask me if I'm looking? Yeah, I'm looking for him. I kept looking until I stopped looking at the end of last year. One of my friends told me that Arsen died that night,"
"Is that the biker gang that kidnapped me?" ask Aletta.
Dioneel nodded his head. "Yes. Almost every month we have a race. The rules of the race say, we reserve the right to hold an exchange of players whose best performance at that time to be pitted back. And if, one of them loses, then they are obliged to accept all the punishment given to him from their new team,"
"At that time, Axel asked Arsen in exchange for our exchange with the Executioner. Apparently, Arsen lost. Arsen is not good at carrying a bike, but he is good at strategizing. All of a sudden, Axel dragged Arsen and beat him relentlessly. We all helped, the race was turned into a war arena that night. Until someone called the police and we ran away" Dioneel said.
"So, Axel started all this? In that case, in order to make amends, you have to help me!" exciting Aletta.
Dioneel frowned. "What help?"
"I intend to demand justice for my brother and I will reopen my brother's case. Be a witness for Arsen, I already have a lawyer to proceed with the case!" answer Aletta steady.
