~.2~
Givarel has returned from office. The clock shows at 1 p.m. He entered his house and saw Amelia sitting with a worried expression.
"Mails? Lo why?" Ask Givar. Seeing the arrival of her cousin, Amelia got up and approached Givarel.
"Gua was afraid that Shasha's situation would deteriorate. Earlier... Sven came here."
Givar was shocked to hear that.
Amelia showed me a slightly scratched floor, as Sven threw the vase until it broke. The girl told Givar everything.
The man clenched his hands furiously. He climbed the stairs to look for his wife, making sure the woman was okay.
The door was locked from inside. Givar begins to panic, worried about Shasha's situation inside. He had to find a spare key first to get in.
After meeting, the man opened the door and saw his wife. Amelia came in too.
Shasha fell asleep with her head asleep to the side of the bed, while her body sat on the floor.
Amelia breathed a heavy sigh. Givar lifted Shasha's body and put her to bed. Shasha woke up and looked at her husband. But the woman closed her eyes again.
Givar chuckled little to see his wife who could sleep quickly. He rubbed the hair child blocking Shasha's pretty face.
Givar turned to Amelia, "We need to talk."
In the living room, Givar and Amelia appeared to be speaking seriously.
"I think Shasha has a double personality" Givar said.
Amelia shook her head, "No, people with multiple personalities don't get to meet."
Givar frowned, "I mean?"
Amelia explained it well, "For example a person has two personalities. Call it personality A and personality B in one body. When the person is in personality A, he does not remember that he has personality B, and vice versa. While Shasha. He's hiding the other side."
Givar digested Amelia's speech.
"Ah, if you are still confused, try to search on google a more detailed explanation," said Amelia.
Givar let out a long sigh, "The cave was going to give Shasha a surprise, but she was sleeping."
"His mood must be not good today," said Amelia. Givar.
"What happened to Shasha's sister? Why he.. emm..." Amelia did not continue her words.
Givar let out a long sigh, "Gua doesn't know either, but they say, Sven is crazy. Even his own family considered him a psychopath. The man did not hesitate to hurt people, without feeling the slightest guilt."
Amelia shuddered in horror, then asked, "Why not be taken to a psychiatrist?"
"Just like Shasha, Sven likes to go berserk. However, according to psychiatrists, Shasha can still improve through consultation with psychologists, so the cave asked for the same rock, ", replied Givar.
Amelia nodded in understanding.
"Gustiar's family had taken Sven to a psychiatrist many times, but it did not make him recover. That person is indeed strange," said Givar.
"I think you should know first, what the root of the problem is. For example.what makes it change that way, and since when," murmured Amelia.
"Biarin, that. Sven doesn't want to heal, you focus on Shasha."
Amelia nodded.
Silent.
Shasha shows a photo from her phone to Givar. The man saw it. Look Amelia was with a handsome guy. In the photo, they look happy.
"Var, next week's cave fiancee. You two are present, yes," said Amelia with a cheerful expression.
Givar was surprised, "Seriously?"
Amelia nodded quickly with both cheeks blushing red. Givar smiled happily for his cousin.
"Why not get married?" Ask Givar. Amelia seemed to think, "The cave still wants to be free."
Givar nodded in understanding.
Amelia came home. While Givar enters his room sees Shasha still asleep. The man took off his tie and suit and put it on the back of the chair.
Givar flung his body beside Shasha and before long, his breathing began to settle down, signaling he was already asleep.
Slowly, Shasha's eyes opened. She got up and saw her husband who was fast asleep.
He must be tired, sorry to not welcome you when he comes home. I don't want you to worry about seeing my mood, Inner Shasha.
The woman passed and started cooking. He served food to the table.
"wake, no? He'll wake up on his own, too."
Meanwhile, Givar who had woken up was shocked not to see the whereabouts of his wife. He passed looking for his wife while removing his top three buttons as the hot weather made him quite sultry.
"Sha's? Snowey? Darling?" It sounds like Givar's calling three girls.
The man did not find his wife in any room.
Entering the kitchen, the man saw a lot of food on the table.
Shasha just cooked, this is still an angel. I think he's not long gone, Givar's mind is like a detective.
The man continued to look for his wife.
"The house is small, but the cave doesn't find Shasha anywhere. Sha?!" Givar constantly called his wife.
The man came out the back door. He sees Shasha playing with both of her rabbit. The rabbits looked happy and were free to run around on the green grass.
They will not be able to escape, because the surrounding backyard is fortified high. Shasha was not aware of the whereabouts of her husband who was stepping closer.
"Darling?" Call Givar. Shasha looked at her husband. Shasha's gaze was fixed on Givar's chest which was slightly peeking out from behind his shirt.
Realizing his wife's innocent gaze, Givar looked at his own chest. Instead of covering up, the man flicked his shirt.
"Ohhhhh, geraaaahh." The man sighed softly.
Shasha raised her eyebrows and then put her two rabbit into the cage.
Feeling unnoticed by his wife, Givar pouted. The man approached Shasha.
"Have you eaten?" Ask Givar. Shasha shaking. The man took his wife's hand into the kitchen.
"Why don't you eat first?" Ask Givar. Shasha shook her head, "You're sleeping, I can't eat alone."
Givar smiled, Shasha really is a wife who respects herself so much as a husband.
They also eat together. There are things that make Givar feel awkward with his wife's attitude. The woman did not show a smile and a cheerful face like a child anymore. The woman looked even colder and serious.
It reminded Givar of Shasha in the past. However, to be honest Givar prefers the feisty, child-like Shasha.
Maybe his mood got worse because of Sven. Why also people come here, Inner Givar.
"Darling, I want to make sure you have dinner outside. You want to, right?" Tanya Givar tried to break the awkwardness.
Shasha simply nodded while feeding her food.
Givar smiled softly.
~
Shasha enters the bathroom. The woman locked the bathroom door and then turned on the shower. His body felt fresher as the water washed it.
After the bath, the woman took her bathrobe, but the pink robe was wet. Shasha frowned in surprise, as she had previously been wearing a towel. So, how could his bathrobe get wet.
Especially wet like dipped in a tub of water.
Not wanting to think much, Shasha chose to take a white towel and wrapped it around the body. The woman came out of the bathroom and saw her husband buttoning a shirt.
Shasha was a little awkward, especially now that the man was looking at her through the reflection of a mirror.
Shasha walked while closing her thighs. Seeing his wife's behavior, Givar just smiled while shaking slowly.
"I waited in the car" Givar said as he exited the room.
Shasha took a long breath.
The clock shows at 6 p.m,
Shasha was neat with a beautiful white dress and so fitting on her body. He and Givar, wearing white shirts and black jeans, entered a restaurant.
They ordered food, Givar did not notice the change in expression from Shasha's face. His wife remained cold and silent.
Givar was eager to ask, "Sha, are you all right?"
The woman simply nodded while smiling faintly. Soon enough, the food and drink they ordered had already come.
Both of them ate that dinner.
A few minutes later, a little boy approached Shasha and pulled on her dress.
The woman looked at the boy who was out of nowhere.
"Hello?" Shasha asked while smiling sweetly at the child. Funnily enough, the boy spread out his hands. Shasha raised her tiny body and sat her in Shasha's lap.
Givar smiled happily at the smile Shasha had receded today.
"Whose name are you, honey?" Ask Shasha. In spirit, the boy replied, "Kyiev Antoniel Hardiswara."
Shasha turned to Givar who nodded his head. Shasha smiled excitedly.
"How many years did you live, honey?" Ask Shasha again.
"Five" Kyiev replied, showing five fingers of his right hand. Shasha chuckles amusedly.
On the way home, Shasha looked happy. He came back happy as before.
"Your surprise makes me very seneeeeng." Said Shasha who was sitting next to Givar. Kyiev fell asleep in Shasha's lap.
Givar smiled, "Tante Claraa goes to Kyoto until Wednesday. So, I'm not sure Kyiev let's keep you at home."
Shasha smiled, "Please, dear."
Givar.
Arriving at home, Givar held Kyiev's body and put him to sleep in their bed.
So, the three of them slept in one bed.
Shasha and Givar lay down their bodies while embracing Kyiev.
"I'm not sleepy yet" said Shasha. Givar turned to his wife, "I'll keep you until you go to bed first."
"I took a nap" said Shasha. Givar chuckled, "I also took a nap. There's no need to be afraid. I also have trouble sleeping when I sleep."
Shasha nodded.
They whisper to remove the silence of the night. Long ago, Shasha fell asleep. Givar smiled as he gently rubbed his wife's head.
"Sweet dreams."
~
The next day, Shasha prepared a cheerful breakfast. Givar and Kyiev wait for Shasha's delicious cuisine.
When he noticed the two children playing with Bunny and Snowy, Shasha recalled Amelia. He felt guilty for ignoring the woman yesterday.
Shasha decided to call him.
"Sha's? Aaahhh. I was so happy, you called me!" Amelia's voice seemed to be spirited from across there.
Shasha smiled, "I'm sorry, yes. Yesterday I made you uncomfortable."
"I'm sorry, too, for making your mood so bad." There was a tone of regret that was spoken from Amelia's lips.
Shasha let out a heavy sigh, "I also want to apologize for Sven's bad attitude yesterday."
"Yes, I understand, really."
"I've been horrified from Givar, next week you're engaged to your boyfriend. I was so happy" said Shasha.
"Hehe, yes."
"Congratulations" said Shasha. Amelia laughed, "Just the congratulations later, the show has not been done."
Shasha chuckled, "Let me say congratulations first."
Finished talking, Shasha returned to daydreaming. He did not think of Refandi this time. The woman thought of her brother, Svender.
"We're moving to New York, you're also continuing your Junior High School there" Adam told his two children.
Shasha and Sven are teenagers. Both of them understood. Since childhood, Sven and Shasha have been very close and affectionate with each other. They rarely, never even fought, let alone were hostile.
In New York, Sven and Shasha study hard. Although Adam is a good father, he is very strict when educating his children.
Luckily, Sven and Shasha are bright and talented students at their school in New York.
"Sir Sven, I can't argue about this" Shasha said as she approached her brother. Sven saw Shasha's book. He explained it in detail.
"Favor, Brother."
Sarah watched her two children from the door. She smiled a little.
Sven said, "Shaque, if you want to master the lesson, you have to love the lesson and you have to learn it with pleasure."
Shasha sighed heavily, "Hemm."
Sven shook his head slowly looking at his sister who was constantly grumbling and sighing lazily.
The day goes on....
Sven entered the 10th grade High School. He often comes home late and doesn't talk much. The man gradually begins to change and worries his family, including Shasha.
The man often came home drunk. Adam was angry and punished him. Shasha felt sad as well as being afraid of her own brother.
Every time he came home, there was Sven's behavior that made Adam angry. Adam's anger was no other form of affection for Sven.
Sven's value is starting to plummet. The homeroom teacher and the principal often give out summonses, because of Sven.
The man often fought and made a fuss in the country of people.
Sarah often cried because of the change in attitude of her eldest child. Sven is getting wild and delinquent.
In fact, his teacher said that Gustiar's eldest son had gone mad.
When taken to a psychiatrist, it is true, Svender has symptoms of mental disorders. No one understands what makes it so.
Sven's attitude was completely outrageous. He once injured Shasha just for wanting to talk to her.
Adam vented his anger, "Svender! You are a failed child born with a mental disorder! I never taught you to be like this!"
That sentence hurt Sven. Until the man ran away. However, he also returned quietly, then escaped again.
Sven refused to return to Indonesia. In fact, he also secretly returned to Jakarta and lived somewhere.
Gustiar's family was already overwhelmed with his incomprehensible attitude.
Shasha breathed a heavy sigh.
Meanwhile at the office, Givar was in a meeting with the clients. His secretary had already been replaced with a woman who dressed more modestly, Helieen. The bespectacled woman with a polite and firm demeanor was Juan's trust.
"Hel, what's the schedule after this?" Ask Givar. Helieen turned to her boss, "Sorry Mr. Hardiswara, don't call me Hel, that sounds like hell."
Givar let out a laugh, "Then I should call you Heli? That sounds like a dog's name."
Helieen patted her own forehead. Then he replied, "We're going to have a meeting with a client from Donovan Property."
Givar.
The next meeting, Helieen said, their client wanted to meet at the restaurant. Arriving at the designated place, Givar and Heileen immediately met with the client.
There was a man who seemed to be older than Givarel with his secretary, a woman.
"Hello, Mr. Hardiswara. I deliberately chose this place to eat as our meeting place. I don't want the office atmosphere to make us stiff" said Donovan Property owner Felix Donovan.
Givar nodded in understanding, "I understand."
~
Stella and Kyiev were sitting in front of the house eating ice cream. They both saw Givar's car enter the courtyard of the house.
The man got out of the car and approached the two of them. He rubbed Kyiev and Stella's hair.
"Where is Brother Shasha?" Ask Givar.
"Inside."
Upon entering the house, Givar sees Shasha sleeping on the sofa. The man rubbed his wife's hair and gently kissed her forehead.
When she was about to pass, Shasha's hand first grasped her hand. Givar turned his head, Shasha's eyes still closed.
"Stay with me."
Givar was surprised by Shasha's words, both of his eyebrows raised. Although Shasha was delirious, but it made her happy.
I don't know, it seems like Givar is indeed starting to feel the existence of Shasha in his heart.
Givar rubbed his wife's hand and then passed.
A car traveling at moderate speed. Inside were lovers.
When the car passed through a hut on the side of the road, it suddenly exploded.
Bruaaarrssgghhh!!
The blow caused the car to be thrown and rolled into the abyss. Half of the car's body is on fire, which is the steering wheel.
Car door open. The body fell down. The woman who was none other than Shasha was grimacing softly. He held onto his stomach which was continuously bleeding because there was a considerable wound there.
He looked in the car. The dark-haired man held onto his thigh with an expression of enduring the pain.
No, that guy's not Givar.
That is Refandi.
The man grimaced in pain. Shasha shook her head, she approached and clasped the man's hand.
"We're gonna get out of here! We'll be safe! Please, hold on." Shasha sobbed. He pulled Refandi's hand out of the car, but his body got stuck. Every time Shasha tried to pull Refandi's body, the man would scream in pain.
It was seen that blood was constantly flowing from Refandi's thighs soaking the car seat. Both of Shasha's eyes shook seeing that. The blood came from a wound on his lover's thigh because it was stuck in the tree root.
"You're bleeding, Refandi," said Shasha frantically. Refandi closed his eyes without being able to say anything.
Shasha reached for her bag and picked up the phone. His trembling hands called the police.
Refandi turned to him, "Sha, I won't be long."
Hearing the words of her future husband, Shasha turned her head with a surprised expression. The girl shook her head while crying stifled.
"No, we have to survive."
Refandi tried to move his foot stuck in the root. The man succeeded and he was able to get out of the car approaching Shasha.
They cuddled with blood everywhere.
"Hello?" The police voice from Shasha's cell phone. The girl immediately replied, "Sir police, help us..."
Shasha did not continue her words, as she heard a voice from their car.
"Hello? We'll track your location. We'll be there soon."
Refandi and Shasha turned towards their car.
Refandi immediately pushed Shasha's body. The woman fell down and rolled down. Shasha looked at the smiling Refandi. The car exploded violently. Shasha. He could not see Refandi, because fire surrounded him.
Shasha shouted, "Tidaaaak!"
The girl's body hit a tree. Shasha felt her body weaken. While the blood flowing from his head flowed into his face and eyes. The distinctive smell of the rusty iron was revealed to possess his sense of smell.
Shasha closed her eyes as much as possible.
Between being conscious and not, even though both eyes were closed, Shasha heard the siren sound in the distance. The girl wanted to see the state of Refandi. However, his eyelids felt very heavy, even to just be moved.
Then everything became quiet and cold. Shasha only saw the darkness. He was alone and scared.
The voice of his mother, Sarah Gustiar. The most precious woman in her life sounded like she was crying.
Shasha wanted to see him and give his mother a hug. But he doesn't even know where he is.
Slowly the girl opened her eyes. The first thing he saw was a white-painted room. She saw her mother crying while hugging her hand. Then his father stood up and rubbed his wife's back. They don't realize Shasha is awake.
All of those memories are seethed in Shasha's memory, spinning like a movie CD and moving like a timeline.
Within seconds, Shasha's tears flowed down the corner of her eyes. Adam realized his daughter was awake. He rubbed Shasha's hair.
Shasha saw both her parents say something, but everything was suddenly silent. The girl could not hear anything. The sound of her ringing made her cover both ears.
The girl screamed and cried. The nurse and the doctor came to handle it. However, Shasha went berserk and destroyed the entire room. The woman came out of the nursery and looked for Refandi.
His ears are still ringing. Covering her ear, Shasha sought Refandi through her premonition.
He found Refandi's nursery. Shasha looked at the handsome face of Refandi who had burns. Shasha was crying, she went in to see the man. However, the sister raised her blanket to cover Refandi's face.
Shasha shook her head in disbelief.
The sound slowly disappeared. Shasha attacked and subdued the sisters.
"What are you doing! My future husband is still alive!" Shisha shouted as she reopened the white blanket covering Refandi's face.
Shasha sobbed. He hugged the lifeless body.
His gaze faded due to the clear circles that were piling up on his eyes. Shasha's gaze was fixed on the man standing at the door. A meaningful look was painted on his face.
That man is Sven.
"Eeeuummhhhh," snorted Shasha as she jolted awake from her sleep. Cold sweat washed all over his body. He touched his head which hurt.
The memory of 3 years ago is back. Shasha breathed a heavy sigh.
Had they not gone that day to choose the wedding dress, had they not gone through that abyss, had time been turned back.
Shasha shook her head, she had already tried to forget that for the sake of her domestic relationship.

Ucu Irna Marhamah's
