The gray days are felt more and more, empty, and the coldness of the heart makes life seem meaningless. Losing your identity, and screaming with your heart really hurts. But what is the power of a love that is now longing for its love.
The idol who is somehow where, and with whom, is doing what, and how is he doing. Longing continues to miss, harboring the hammer that is fixated by time. Pure love is irreplaceable, will not be strangible even if you do not find it. Jacob was resigned, every day he always cried, and prayed. Every day he always prostrated five times plus one tahajud in a third of the night. Jacob just wanted Alesha back to him, he was already very tired, days, weeks, and months had passed. Wh why? Why isn't there any information he's got to find Alesha? Where's Alesha? What happened to Jacob's beloved woman?
Was Alesha purposely hiding from him? Or is there someone who deliberately hid Alesha? Butwhy?
"Alesha, where are you? I miss you, baby," Lirih Jacob gently rubbed a picture of his wife posing beautifully in a plastic frame.
"It's been almost a year, Alesha, hiks. You're torturing me, you're evil, Alesha, "Jacob put the picture on his face. "You're torturing me, you're evil, baby."
Jacob came back crying. Ten months he has gone through without stopping to continue looking for a woman is now the queen in his heart.
Efforts do not run out, ten months get nothing. Laura did not return to her original home in Florida, USA. The middle-aged woman wanted to be by her son's side, she was always a sedative for Jacob after Mona left to take care of the parent company back.
"Until when should I find you, baby? Hm? Alesha I love you so much, why are you leaving?" Jacob's slow cry became increasingly as the heart speech poured out.
"Jack..." The mother's soft voice was heard filling Jacob's room. With a nice dinner, Laura walked up to her son who was still wearing sarongs and peci.
Jacob had just finished praying Isya and then honoured the Almighty who was above Arsy.
"Jack, here, I bring your favorite food," Laura said softly.
Jacob only glanced at a glance without commenting.
The food, the food that Laura brought, a serving of rice, and spicy rendang, one of Alesha's favorite foods.
"Oncea..." Jacob lowered his head, letting drop by drop of tears fall down the floor.
"Jack," Laura touched her son's shoulder. His heart was so wounded, he could not bear to see his son who was always slumped because of the loss of Alesha.
"Mom, what else should I do? I miss Alesha so much, Mom, I miss her so much. Hiks, why did he leave? What wrong? Is it because I am not by his side, and cannot protect him when this mansion is attacked by those strangers? Wh why? Why is Alesha like that? I miss him, Mom, hiks, is this the punishment he gave me? He hurt me, Mom. I have to how else, I miss him so much, hysterics."
Laura breathed. It seemed like it was very hard for Jacob, ten months was not a short time, and it was not easy to pass under these circumstances. Jacob struggles to make himself strong, and continues to focus on finding Alesha, but whatever the force of heart, when night, and solitude arrive, Jacob will weep lamenting his fate.
Fortunately, Jacob was now able to hold fast to his beliefs. He always worshiped as usual at the right time because that way his heart can feel calmer, and he can also pour all his problems to Allah SWT. Before going to bed, Jacob always remembers Alesha, and imagines Alesha being next to him. It was all Jacob did so that he could stay afloat without having to drop himself like he lost Yuna.
Nah!
Jacob doesn't want to be like that anymore! He was crazy, and lost his identity because of Yuna. But Alesha, Jacob did not want to go crazy, and lost his identity. Jacob needed wholeness, and confidence in his soul in order to continue making efforts to find Alesha.
Jacob's love is very big, and he also can not let go let alone lose Alesha just like that. Therefore Jacob will continue to fight until he can meet his sweet beloved again.
"Mother, am I going to meet Alesha again? I love her so much, Mom, I don't want to lose her, we just got married a year ago, and why does this have to happen?"
"Jack, we'll find Alesha, she'll come back to us sooner or later. You rest assured. You love her, don't you?"
"I love you so much, Alesha, Mom."
"And so keep trying, fight your love, Alesha is waiting for you to find her, Jack."
"I'll find him, Mom. I'll bring him back to this mansion!" Jacob Tekad.
"He'll be back, Jack. This is a test for you, be strong! I'll keep helping you, there's kids who keep helping you, we all help you, Jack. We're taking Alesha back to this mansion!"
Jacob sighed when he heard his mother's words just now.
Yep! He is not alone, Jacob is not alone, there is his mother, there are eight members of his team, there are his men who every day always help to look for Alesha.
"Come, eat first, you need a lot of energy to find your wife, Jack!" Laura gave the dinner to her son.
At first Jacob only glanced at him, but after a while he took over the tray.
"Spicy rendang" muttered Jacob as he stared softly at the plate of food on the tray. "Alesha's delight," Jacob smiled wryly. "Has Alesha eaten?"
The deg!
Jacob was stunned for a moment. He just remembered! This is the month of Alesha's birth. Jacob hurriedly looked at the date on his phone.
"Tomorrow" Jacob muttered, resignedly.
So, Alesha's birthday is going to fall tomorrow huh? That's fast. It did not feel like ten months passed without the presence of the wife, Jacob woke up to strengthen his heart, and himself.
Then Jacob activates his phone to view photos of Alesha in his digital gallery.
A smile formed instantly when Jacob looked at the sweet beloved who was posing freely on the beach.
"Happy twenty-second birthday, my dear. Hurry back, I miss you so much, My Lil Ale."
"Mom's going back to the room, Jack, don't forget to eat the food you've brought" Laura said as she patted her son's shoulder.
Jacob just nodded slowly. After that, Laura stood up.
"Mom loves you, Jack."
Cup..
One kiss landed on Jacob's forehead when his mother kissed him.
"Strengthen! We're with you!" After saying that, both of Laura's eyelids turned wet, and then she left her child with a heart-wrenching sadness.
"I'm sorry, Jack. I still can't find Alesha, but I will keep trying so you can smile happily again. I love you so much, son, hiks," Lirih Laura who is now leaning behind her son's bedroom door.
While in his room Jacob still smiled weakly. One by one his thumbs shifted the screen of his phone to see the photos Alesha stored a lot in the flat object gallery.
"Beautiful" Jacob kisses one of the photos of his wife he has zoomed in to get closer to seeing the natural beauty that captivates him. "You're so sweet, Alesha. Even one day after we got acquainted you immediately attracted me."
Then Jacob shifted back the screen of his phone.
East side coastal cliffs located close to the WOSA gate. That's where the photo was taken. Precisely at five o'clock through Alesha asked Jacob to photograph it even though the weather was cloudy.
What a sweet moment. When did Jacob get to be like that again with his wife?
"Darling? What are you doing? I miss you, Lil Ale," said Jacob. His smile had changed again. The sadness was clearly visible on the man's face.
"Alesha, don't you miss me? Ten months we were apart. I still love you, Alesha. Even when you left me with no news, I was still looking for you with high hopes that I could bring you back to this house, dear."
"You have repeatedly begged me not to leave you, but in reality what? You left me, Al. What's wrong?"
"I won't give up, Alesha. I'm gonna find you, we gotta get back together. I will keep our household whatever the test may be, even if I have to fight alone. As long as your heart has my name, I will never give up. I really believe you're alive, I believe you haven't left me for another world, I'm pretty sure because there's still so much we haven't been through together in this household."
Finally, Jacob developed his smile again. "You know I love you so much, Alesha. I can put my life on guard, and protect you, why can't I sacrifice my patience, and try to find you? Wait, sooner or later we'll meet, baby."
It was very painful what Jacob was feeling right now, but it was his determination that allowed him to remain strong, and be patient. Faith, prayer, and effort. Jacob believes in what he has, is, and will do for sure to produce the best results, which is to find also get Alesha back.
Jacob hopes he can continue to survive, and be patient. He may fall, he may cry, but not to give up, and lose his identity.
"I can! I'm strong, and I'm going through this with effort, and patience!" Jacob closed his eyes.
"God, give me more calmness, patience, and strength, guide me in your way" Jacob took a deep breath. "Alsha, I won't give up. I know there's a wonderful future for us, baby."
Jacob exhaled slowly.
Calm down....
That's what Jacob feels right now. Then after that, a smile again expands on his face.
"You want to eat, baby? Mother brought me rice, and your favorite spicy rendang," Jacob asked a picture of his wife still plastered on his phone screen.
"Have you eaten, Lil Ale? Take care of yourself until I find you, Little Fairy. I love you so much."
Jacob stuffed a spoon that had rice, and a small piece of rendang meat into his mouth.
"It's delicious, Al. I'm sure you'd make this rendang meat your night snack if you were here.
Although only emptiness can hear him, Jacob still invites Alesha photo as if he was talking directly with his wife. Until finally Jacob finished his dinner plate, then he sipped a glass of mineral water, and after that he immediately laid his body on the mattress while hugging Baby Ale.
"I'm going to sleep, baby," Jacob gently kissed a picture of his wife. "Good night, Alesha, and good night, my sweet."
