The dawn had passed, and the rays of the sun began to radiate from behind the clouds in the eastern horizon.
Alesha who is now preparing to join Jacob to a place can only be pensive with her heart, and mind.
To be honest, Alesha is still very hesitant if she has to come with a man she just met yesterday.
"You ready, baby? We have to leave immediately, the flight schedule is about two hours away" Jacob said as he approached his wife.
"I want to meet Rangga" Reply Alesha.
Jacob sighed when he heard his wife's request just now. Why is Alesha so close to Rangga? Think Jacob.
"He's in the front room" Jacob said lazily.
Without thinking any longer, Alesha walked over to meet her foster sister, leaving Jacob frozen in place.
Alesha just left him because she wanted to see Rangga? Think Jacob. Be ill. It was enough to make Jacob's heart ache again.
"Maybe I'm still too foreign to you, Alesha," said Jacob.
Meanwhile, in the front room, Alesha who found Rangga pensively in the doorway was approaching, and hugged so tightly.
The deg!
Rangga. He was daydreaming, and suddenly Alesha hugged him?
"I'm afraid, Rangga," Lirih Alesha. "You're coming with me."
It is sad that Rangga feels at this moment. Alesha is leaving, Jacob is taking Alesha away, and it might take a while if he wants to see his beloved foster sister again.
"Alesha," Rangga let go of Alesha's embrace slowly. "Don't be afraid. Even if I'm not next to you, but you'll stay under my watch" and then he cupped his foster sister's face. "Trust me, trust Jacob, he's your husband, he's more entitled to you than I am, Alesha."
"But I still doubt if he was my husband, you didn't tell me anything about him, and my marriage" Alesha replied, exclaimed.
"Sorry, Alesha. It's myfault. I wanted to take care of you, so I didn't tell you everything about your past."
"You're saying I'm mild amnesia, Rangga, are you lying about that too?"
"Yes, Alesha. Forgive me," Rangga tightly grasped both palms of Alesha. "I'm ready if you want to be mad at me, it's okay, I accept that because I've been so wrong with you. I hid you from your family, and your husband, I lied about me taking care of you. I never took care of you, Alesha, our parents didn't tell me I was their adopted son to anyone, even until now, you're the only one who knows that I'm the adopted son of both of your biological parents. The first time you knew, and knowing me was when you woke up in the hospital that day."
"You're hiding a lot of things about me, torment me," Alesha began to cry.
"I did that to keep you safe by my side, Alesha. There's a bad guy who intends to destroy your parents' second bloodline, he wants to kill you. That's why I'm hiding all your real identities" Rangga explained.
"Who is that guy? hyx."
"His name is Dirga, I hope he'll never find you. Now that you focus on your memory, your husband will take you to a place where you've written many stories. Trust him, I trust him so much because he is a responsible man, and love you so much. He's a great guy, Alesha. You're lucky to have it. Now go with him."
"Then what about you?" Alesha looked anxiously at her foster sister.
"I'll be fine, there's no need to worry about me" Rangga smiled warmly. "You must go back to your husband, I can't hold you back, he is the one who has the most right to you, Alesha, follow him, don't hesitate to him," Rangga stared confidently at Alesha. "You're a brother I love so much, I can't possibly put my sister in danger. Trust me, trust him."
Although heavy, Alesha nodded. "Alright, Rangga. But you promised me that if we'd see each other again, you'd have to promise to look after Bonny, Bunny, Moza, and Mauza."
Rangga laughed a little. "Yes, pretty. I promise we'll meet again, and I also promise when we meet your four beloved friends will be big, and healthy."
"Oh yeah, where are they, I want to see them!" Alesha.
"They were in the courtyard near the fence" replied Rangga.
"I'll be there!" Alesha immediately ran small towards the place where her four pet friends were.
While Rangga, he was still standing in the doorway looking at his sweet sister who would soon be taken away by Jacob.
"If only I could want to beat you right now Rangga," Jacob muttered right next to Rangga.
"Do it if it reduces your anger at me. I know I was wrong for separating you from Alesha" replied Rangga, flat.
There was no reply from Jacob, the man just walked outside carrying a bag, and a suitcase containing personal belongings belonging to Alesha.
"Olsha!!" Call Lucas who's coming with Bastian, Taylor, and Professor Darwin.
Alesha who was with her four favorite pets immediately turned the body. "Bastian, Lucas!" Alesha exclaimed with a bright smile, and after that, Alesha then showed her awkward smile to Taylor, and Professor Darwin.
"Haii, Jack, it's good to see you again" said Professor Darwin, who approached Jacob.
"Professor Darwin, it's good to see you too" Jacob said, giving one of the SIO Professors a male-like hug. "Thank you, Professor Darwin, thank you very much" said Jacob, now staring sincerely at Professor Darwin. "Thanks to your help I was able to find my wife, thank you very much, Professor. I really don't know how to get back at it."
Professor Darwin smiled sweetly at Jacob's words just now. "Don't talk like that, Jack. I don't want anything in return. My intention is to help you because you helped me a lot in the past, too" replied Professor Darwin while embracing Jacob's shoulder.
"Hi, Alesha," Dear Professor Darwin on Alesha.
But Alesha, she forgets her memories, and she feels alien to the old man Jacob calls Professor Darwin. So in return, Alesha also gave a smile of doubt to one of the SIO professors.
"He's amnesiac, Professor, he won't remember you" Jacob said.
"I know, Bastian, Lucas, and Taylor have told me this" replied Professor Darwin.
"Sir, we have to leave now or we'll be late" Taylor said.
Jacob nodded. "Darling, let's get going now" Jacob approached his wife.
"Ladders..." Alesha glanced, staring sadly at her foster sister.
Alesha still feels heavy, one year he remembered living with Rangga in the beautiful countryside, he still hesitated if he had to leave Rangga. Rangga was a very kind person to her, always attentive, not rude, and affectionate. Alesha could not if she had to stay away from Rangga, Alesha was afraid.
"It's okay, Alesha, go," Rangga cupped his sister's face. "You trust me?"
Alesha mangangguk, but her gaze was full of doubt.
"He's your husband" Rangga pointed to Jacob. "I'm your brother," Then Rangga pointed at himself. "We love you, Alesha. Trust us. I will not possibly let my sister be in danger, and be with just anyone, and her," Rangga pointed back at Jacob. "He can't hurt you, he loves you so much, trust him."
"Promise we will meet again," The two Netra Alesha began to tear up.
"Promise," Rangga nodded surely.
"I love you, Rangga, hiks," Alesha on her tiptoes and hugged Rangga's body. "Thank you for taking care of me."
Rangga can't snort anything. Warm, and comfortable hug that Alesha gave, but Rangga realized who she was, especially there was also Jacob, Alesha's husband.
"Mrs. Jacob, I hope your patience is still plenty to see" whispered Lucas right next to Jacob's ear.
"It hurts so much you know" Jacob replied with a wry smile.
"Ladders..." Alesha let go of her embrace. "Thank you, Rangga, I'm a little disappointed in you, but I'm not mad, you did that to protect me."
Rangga smiled, more precisely a fake smile. "Go now, you'll be late if you're still lingering here," Rangga pushed Alesha's body slowly to approach Jacob.
"Take him off now, Jack!" Said Rangga, flat.
Without thinking any longer, Jacob immediately grabbed Alesha's palm and took her to the car.
"Ladders...." Lirih Alesha who still did not remove her gaze from her foster sister.
After Bastian, Lucas, and Taylor, the three of them get into the car after Alesha, and Jacob.
"Rangga, take care of Bonny, Bunny, Moza, and Mauza!!" Shouted Alesha from inside the window.
In return, Rangga smiled widely while nodding.
"We're leaving now, Taylor!" Decree Jacob.
Taylor nodded and immediately started the engine.
"Oncea..." Rangga muttered very softly, his face water turned sad when he saw the wave of hands, and Alesha's bright smile just before the car driven by her sister drove.
"You are very close, yes" said Professor Darwin who stood right next to Rangga.
"I'm her foster sister, I love Alesha very much" Rangga replied.
"Now you must sincerely let Alesha go with her husband, after all you can meet again later, you will not be able to let the criminal harm Alesha when Jacob brings Alesha back to Indonesia," Said Professor Darwin who already knew everything that happened to Alesha, and the reason why Rangga hid Alesha all this time. Professor Darwin knew it all from Bastian, Lucas, and Taylor.
"I won't let the breng**k Dirga hurt my sister. Maybe after this I will return to Indonesia, and start watching Dirga just in case," Reply Rangga.
"Do you know where that guy is now?" Ask Professor Darwin.
"He is everywhere, I can find him" replied Rangga.
"Good..."
No more conversations were heard after Professor Darwin replied to Rangga.
All turn back to Jacob, and Alesha.
Since being in the car, Jacob tries to get Alesha to speak, but awkwardness makes Alesha not dare to reply to Jacob with long sentences.
"Darling, are you hungry? You haven't eaten this morning?" Jacob said as he stroked his wife's straight, soft hair.
Alesha shook her head slowly.
"Yourf..." Jacob must be patient.
"I have bread, Alesha, would you like it?" Tawar Lucas sat in the back seat with Bastian.
"No, thank you," Alesha replied, slowly.
Jacob, Lucas, and Bastian looked at each other. They both thought about how to get Alesha to eat.
"But you haven't eaten in the morning, Lil Ale, don't put up with your hunger" Jacob said softly.
"No, sir, I'm not hungry" Lirih Alesha.
Jacob silently watched his wife from the sidelines. Why does Alesha look so awkward towards him? Jacob was very sad about it.
What a sweet Alesha is right now. Jacob smiled his small smile as he watched his wife's minimalist body now wearing a knee-length sleeveless flower dress, feeling the aura of innocence that radiated from the other side of Alesha. But it will not last long, Jacob will also guide his wife slowly to wear the hijab, and clothes covered again.
Slow down, and full of patience. That's what Jacob has to do now, and for some time to come. Jacob will again turn Alesha into a sholihah woman, because it is one of Alesha's wishes that Alesha might forget as well. But to be honest, Jacob liked his wife's current appearance, really cute, and innocent.
"I didn't think you'd be this blanket if you wore clothes like this, Lil Ale," Jacob chuckled. "The staircase managed to bring out the other side of you, baby."
Alesha's forehead immediately frowned when she heard Jacob's words just now. "Do I look weird, sir?" Alesha asked so slowly.
"No, you look so much sweeter" Jacob replied still with his chuckle.
"I didn't even think Alesha could be much more calm, and meek. Though he was chatty, and a little rough, tartar, ignorant, and you know Alesha," Lucas showed Alesha a mischievous smile. "You used to be my partner, and Mike's in the business of working with other people who played around with our team when we were at WOSA first."
"Yes, that's right!" Bastian Sahut. He looked kindly at Alesha. "If only you could remember, Alesha, your husband, this" Bastian pointed to Jacob. "Mrs. Jacob, he always scolds you, Lucas, and Mike, and then punishes you because you're always acting on WOSA students from other teams."
"You remember, baby?" Ask Jacob, gently. "I used to scold you, and punish you, Lucas, and Mike for being so petty, and so happy to prank others."
"I'll never forget when you put some frogs in the bag of one of Brandon's team members, Alesha," Lucas chuckled. "Me, and Mike, who told you at the time, and you wanted to, and then after that Mr. Jacob knows, and punishes us."
Alesha watched carefully the story that had just been told by Bastian, Lucas, and Jacob.
Strange, but once again Alesha felt familiar with the story, like she had done it, but she did not remember she had done what Bastian, Lucas, and Jacob had just told her.
"You used to be so ignorant, and the plot, Lil Ale. I don't want to punish and scold you because I feel sorry for you, but you, Mike, and Lucas always piss me off because of you guys" Jacob said as he stroked his wife's hair.
"I don't remember that" Lirih Alesha.
"It's okay, baby, don't force your memory" Jacob replied.
Alesha silently did not reply, and afterwards also no longer sounded the conversation. The car continued to run smoothly to the airport where Jacob's mother's private plane had been parked.
The real Alesha is still not feeling well just looking at the highway through the closed car window. He was silent, not knowing what to say.
As for Jacob, he occasionally looked at his wife from the sidelines. It is sad to see the condition that Alesha is currently experiencing amnesia, whereas, Jacob thought after he found Alesha, he could equally channel the longing held for one year with Alesha. But the reality was beyond Jacob's expectations.
"Master, the plane will take off in fifteen minutes" said Taylor, who was carrying a car into the airport's parking lot.
"Yes," That's Jacob's only reply.
A few minutes later, the car stopped within a few meters of Laura's private plane.
"Come, baby, we're out, it's your mother-in-law's private plane" Jacob said as he opened the car door.
Alesha nodded small. While opening the car door, his gaze was not released from the private plane in front of him.
"Honey, come on" Jacob clasped Alesha's palm and walked up the stairs together to get into the plane.
But before that, Alesha had stopped her steps right in the middle of the stairs.
Doubtful.
That's what Alesha feels now.
Fearful.
Worriedly.
Yeah, Alesha felt that. He was not brave.
"Alesha, come on, we have to hurry, baby," Jacob said.
"I'm afraid," Lirih Alesha. Why does he think he will be kidnapped?
"Alesha, hey, don't be afraid, honey. I'm your husband, this is your mother-in-law's private plane, come on, don't be afraid" Jacob said.
"No, sir, I'm scared" Alesha shook her head while letting go of Jacob's hand.
"Excuse me, sir, in less than ten minutes we're about to take off" said one of the flight attendants who approached Jacob.
"You hear me, Lil Ale, come on, it's okay, don't be afraid, trust me, Alesha," Jacob clasped his wife's palm back. "Come, baby."
With a body that slightly shook because of fear, Alesha finally wanted to continue her steps to enter the plane.
"Master," Now change, Alesha was the one who clasped her husband's palm tightly. The two glowing Alesha netra stared at the interior of the plane.
"Come, we're sitting here" Jacob took Alesha to a window-side sofa. "Calm down, Alesha, don't be afraid."
"Excuse me, Mr. Jacob, we're about to take off" said the flight attendant.
"Yes," Jacob nodded.
"Alesha, don't be afraid" said Bastian, sitting on the couch in front of Alesha, as well as Lucas, who sat on the sofa next to Bastian.
"Yes, Alesha, don't be afraid, we're not the bad guys, we're your friends, and your family" Lucas said.
Alesha only nodded small while looking down. He was afraid, where would he be taken? Jacob, Bastian, and Lucas are people who feel alien to Alesha at the moment, Alesha fearing that she will be kidnapped.
