Aksa was looking forward to Noah's answer.
"I do feel like she's a little different from the Yora I know."
"Our thoughts are the same, Noah." Aksa had already cut Noah's sentence because the man's joy was in line with his thinking.
"I have not yet admitted that the present Yora is not Nayora Wijaya, Aksa." Noah breaks Aksa's pleasure.
"At least we have the same thoughts," said Aksa.
"He's not exactly the same as I used to know. And it's probably because of the coma he went through that time." Noah began to follow Aksa thinking. "It looks like you're asking me to think further Aksa. You're making my tired brain work even more tired" Noah protested, realizing the discussion was dizzying.
"Sorry about that. I need to know more about Yora because I'm suspicious, Noah."
"Suspect?"
"I suspect someone is taking advantage of this matchmaking."
"I don't understand much, Aksa." Noah's forehead shriveled. Signs he's thinking hard.
"I don't love Yora, you don't misunderstand me. Take it easy," said Aksa made Noah snort amusedly. Aksa tried to speak carefully when talking about her relationship with Yora. He was afraid he would get hurt.
"I knew. Speak comfortably" said Noah.
"There's probably someone else disguised as Yora to be my fiancee."
"Don't joke. It wasn't Aunt Anne herself who met in person with your family. How could the current Yora be fake," Noah said.
“I know that, but my feelings can't be ignored. There are many things that make him suspicious, Noah.”
“Stop suspecting Yora. If you can love her, I'm sure she's someone else. Since you won't love a boy,” points Noah to his cousin confidently.
Aksa. He scratched his chin slowly. He thinks so too. But something broke his heart. Especially about the look in the eyes of the girl who is no longer full of love. Aksa knew that she loved him with all her heart.
Who did I find there? Could it be similar? Probably yes, but why do I feel like I know that girl? It's freaky.

Aksa did not stop there, when Noah had no thoughts in line with him about the fake Yora. This man was so eager to show that he was right. There was something that the girl who was his fiancee was hiding.
He wants to start an investigation. But confused where. And what to investigate first. He tried to meet the girl who became his fiancee.
From his office, Aksa tries to call Yora. The number he got from his family. He wants to meet the girl now. Information from her family, Yora attended a homeschooling program. It turned out that it was his family who knew more about his fiancee than himself.
"I'm sorry, I'm still learning. Could it be tonight?" Yora's voice sounded across. He refuses to meet now. Forced Aksa to deny the intention to meet. He chose not to force.
When passing the stall yesterday, Aksa remembered again about the girl who resembled Yora. The mood is crowded as usual. There was no girl there. Just a mother and a woman at the time. Maybe that's the mother Namo meant. The girl's parents.
Aksa continued his car to the location.
***
Always this cafe. When Aksa wanted to meet Yora, it was always this place where they met. Aksa never found the girl, if she appeared suddenly in the Wijaya family home. Mrs Anne always said this girl was in the cafe.
Aksa is actually lazy to turn back to the cafe located around his mall. It means like he has to go back to residential land. But he continued his car there, when Tiara wanted to meet around the mall.
He saw the girl sitting by the glass wall. Aska could see she was wearing clothes as usual again. It was very different at GOR at that time. Phone's vibrating. There's an incoming message.
"Axis. I'm still in my shop. Can you wait a minute?" Tiara sent the message. Aksa look into Strawberry cafe. Yora was waiting for him. Although he did not like it, this time he made the girl wait for him.
"Yes. I can wait for you" Aksa replied.
"Thank you, baby."
The doorbell on the cafe rang. It indicates that someone is passing through it. The cafe employee who had been told about Aksa's arrival bowed briefly to say hello.
"Miss Yora is already waiting there," one employee told me.
"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."
Lisa who had been playing games on her phone, immediately logged out suddenly when she found out Aksa appeared. He's sure Nero's nagging. You can be sure the guy will lose the game because his team members log out of the online game.
Grn, deg, deg.
Because the meeting at the stall was so unexpected, Lisa's chest was pounding. She's fidgeting. Afraid that Aksa will find her soon.
Lisa's lips smilingly greeted Aksa. This man did not respond to Lisa's smile.
God fucking. She thinks I'm happy to smile at her? Huh.
Grn, deg, deg.
His chest was still pounding with anxiety.
"Don't be happy. I just feel sorry to see you waiting for me here." As usual, Aksa's words sounded very evil. Lisa doesn't care about that. It was for Yora, not her.
"What do you want to drink?" lisa tries to care. "They can prepare for you. I'm afraid I'd be mistaken to prepare it before you ask."
"No. I don't need a drink."
"Would you like to eat then?" lisa Tawar. He wants to look good in front of Aksa.
"No."
"Then ..."
"I don't want to drink or eat, Yora," said Aksa coldly. Lisa silence. Aksa stared at him for a long time. This makes Lisa nervous. The eyeballs are investigating now. Lisa knew because they had met at her mother's stall. "Are you sure we've never met before, Yora?" ask Aksa.
"b-meet? Emmm ... Maybe when you came to find me at this Strawberry cafe back then?" guess Lisa's origin. He knows Aksa's point is to meet at the mother's stall. In his own house.
"Not."
"Didn't you? Emm ... Where, huh? Oh, GOR. When I'm with Allen?"
Aksa did not reply while staring intently at him. Lisa gulped faintly. Aksa's phone is ringing. It made Lisa relieved from being separated from this man's gaze. Tiara called it.
"Hello," said Aksa receiving Tiara's call.
"Where areyou? I've come to the cafe, but I see you're not there."
"Yes. I have a little need. Just wait for me there. I'll be there soon" Aksa said, then hung up.
"I have a need." Lisa cheered in the heart. That means Aksa is leaving. It doesn't matter if their meeting is only for a moment. "You know I'm very busy." Aksa standing.
"Y-yes. It's okay." Lisa smiled thinly. She's happy.

Aksa looked up at the traffic light that was still red. His hand is holding the wheel. The other hand holds the chin. Although he was heading to Tiara's place, in Aksa's mind was still about the girl. A girl who looks like Yora. Also his suspicion about Yora who knows some things that people should not know.
Just as he was thinking about the girl, now he found her right in plain sight. The girl was passing the sidewalk on the right. Not far from Strawberry.
There is something interesting about his findings now. The girl was wearing the same clothes as Yora that she had met at the cafe earlier. Exact same. He looks like everyone else because his movements are different.
