"Theo!!!!" Theora squeaked her voice to call her sister.
"Theo!!!!!"
"I'm not deaf, Theora," Someone retorted lazily. He's the owner of the name that Theora called, Theo.
"I've been looking for you!" Ketus Theora's.
Theo released a cigarette that he had smoked. Followed by a puff of smoke from the mouth, Theo asked casually. "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to Indonesia. We have to get that black orchid in Papua" Theora said.
"You know that Levin's gonna be there?" Theo.
"I'm not afraid of him..."
"And you think you can pull Jacob to you?" Cut Theo while glancing at his little sister. He had been able to guess one of his sister's plans to go to Indonesia in addition to carrying out the mission. Theo knows that Theora still has a hope to be with Jacob again, considering Jacob, and Theora is very close.
"I won't let you, Theora, even though Jacob is no longer an SIO agent. You're just friends first, no need to expect more" continued Theo.
Theora flinched hearing her brother's words. Theo knows all, from the closeness and friendship of Jacob, and Theora from childhood, to growing up they separated, then Theora who was heartbroken because Jacob had a lover named Yuna.
"I thought after Yuna died I could get her heart, but I was late" Lirih Theora.
"Focus on your work! Don't expect a man who has one child!" Theo. "At any time he won't accept you because he knows you're my brother, the chairman of a mafia group."
"I'm going to Indonesia in the middle of the night" After saying that, Theora left her brother, Theo.
Theora knew, and quite consciously, Jacob already knew who she was, and her brother, and it made Theora feel sad, she said, especially if he remembers his closeness with Jacob first when they were children to teenagers.
"May you refuse SIO's offer to return to lead the army in order to attack my group, Jack, I don't want to face you, much less fight with you" Theora mumbled softly. He did not want to expect Jacob, it would only make his heart hurt even more, but if there was a chance, it was like Theora had just met Jacob once.
...*****...
At Jacob's and Alesha's residence, there are now several guests who are SIO's dispatch who are given the task of persuading Jacob to help SIO eradicate the mafia group led by Theo.
Alesha who was standing right next to the outside door of the living room while carrying Alshiba's body was certainly hearing the conversation of the men.
"Oncea...." Sapa Aiden with Lucas. "What are you doing here?"
"Shutt, quiet!" Reply Alesha while looking seriously at Aiden.
"So, how? You want to take it, don't you, Jack?" Ask one of the men.
"Levin will arrive tomorrow with some of his men" continued another man.
Jacob did not immediately answer, but fell silent while thinking whether he would accept the offer of SIO's application or not? If he refuses, there is a possibility if the world will be stirred by the emergence of the virus, not to mention the global economy must also falter, including the company owned by his mother. But if he accepts, he fears that his family will also be targeted by the mob.
"We must not allow Theo's evil intentions to be carried out. The virus can spread very quickly, Jack, and SIO still can't find the right vaccine other than Professor Hans, but you know for yourself that mobster group has managed to kidnap Professor Hans. Help us, Jack. SIO must immediately annihilate that mafia group."
"They haven't got the virus yet, but I'm not sure they'll just give up, Jack. So, before they take any further action, it's good that we eradicate them first."
"When will SIO attack them?" Ask Jacob.
"Fastly. SIO must also bring back Professor Hans."
Jacob's palms hugged each other, his eyes straight towards a point on the floor, as well as the mind that was now working to give certainty to some people sent SIO.
"SIO needs your help, Jack, help us..."
There was a pause for a while, before Jacob finally opened his voice, and stated that he....
"I agree. I'll help SIO."
The men of the SIO envoy immediately showed their smiles of relief after getting an approval answer from Jacob.
"But there is one condition!"
The men's smiles instantly turned flat as Jacob continued.
"What, Jack?"
"SIO must ensure the safety and security of my family, especially my wife and children."
"We will send some of the best agents available to keep watch here. Some WOSA alumni students will also take part in this mission, Jack, you don't have to worry."
"Mrs. Jacob....."
The shrill call made Jacob also some of the SIO messenger men turned to the origin of the voice, precisely the doorway. There, Alesha stood while holding the little princess, Alshiba. Alesha's gaze implied a sadness.
What was?
"I..." Jacob got up from his seat and approached his wife.
"What's up, Alesha?" Ask Jacob, slowly.
"Al, why?" Repeated Jacob.
"You accepted SIO's offer, Jack?" Lirih Alesha's.
Jacob slightly gasped after his wife spoke. Is Alesha not going to give her permission to help SIO finish off the mob? Jacob's heart started to thump.
"L-yes, Al, why?"
Alesha shook her head slowly. "Do you know what the risk is?"
"Yes, I know," Jacob nodded. Of course he knows, and he knows. Exterminating SIO's enemies was Jacob's job, and Jacob was used to it.
"Then promise me you'll be okay."
"You're letting me, Al?"
Alesha nodded small. "Yeah. You do it for the good, and to eradicate the bad guys. I'm not going to ban you, though," Alesha's actually scared. Alesha knew of the dangerous risks her husband would face soon. But Alesha believed, and was also very confident that her husband was a great man, and would be given the ease to be able to eradicate the bad people who only want the wealth of the world. "I trust you, you'll come back for me, and Alshiba. So, do your job well, I'll pray for you to be given smoothness."
Jacob exhaled with relief. He did not expect that Alesha would allow it. I am so grateful to have such an understanding wife.
" Thank you, Al, I promise to do my job well so that we can get together again" Jacob replied with a smile as well as a gentle elusan for his wife's sweet face.
"Lunch is ready, Jack, you take them to the kitchen now, me, and the others are in the backyard" Alesha said.
"Yes," Jacob simply nodded with a slight smile.
Then Alesha turned her body, and walked towards the backyard where her other friends were waiting, not least Lucas, and Aiden who was now pensively looking at the face of their old mentor.
"What?" Jacob asked the two young men in front of him.
"You'll come with us later, Mr. Jacob?" Ask Aiden back.
"No, you will be with Levin to stand guard, while I will directly attack the group" Jacob replied.
"I wish I could come with you, Mr. Jacob. I want to know how skilled you are at eliminating enemies" Lucas said.
Jacob chuckled at Lucas' words just now. But it is also possible if occasionally he, and the eight foster children were to finish off the common enemy. "If there's a time, and a chance we can take out a common enemy, Lucas."
"I'll wait for the time, and the opportunity, right, Aiden?" Lucas clenched his palms and raised them right in front of Aiden, asking young men for a tossan.
"Right," replied Aiden, stomping his thumb's fist against Lucas' thumb.
"Already, now that you're gone, I still have something to talk about with those SIO people again, and oh yeah don't forget, at one hour you'll start training," Jacob rubbed the tops of the heads of the two young men in front of him.
"okay."
Then Aiden, and Lucas left, and so did Jacob who re-assembled with the SIO's men.
...*****...
Switch to Levin's house, and Tessa. Currently, the couple is being hit by a small debate, so in the end the wife who is tired of responding to the words of her husband now prefers to be silent.
"Tessa, I beg you, you have to trust me" Levin clutched his wife's fingers, tried to convince her, and gained the trust of his wife so that she could carry out the duties that SIO had given her.
"Tessa.." -...." Levin's gaze changed. He knew that his wife was so worried about him, but Levin also had to carry out his duties to keep SIO from the evil mafia group.
"Trust me, Tessa, I'll be fine. Anyway, there'll be some SIO people coming to take care of you, and Nicholas's here, baby," Levin cupped his wife's face.
"I don't want those SIO guys to take care of me, and Nicholas. I just want you to be okay, Levin, hiks," Tessa lowered her face, and started crying. "I'm afraid, I don't want to lose you, hicks."
Seeing Tessa cry makes Levin more aware that his wife really loves him.
"I'm sorry, Tessa..." Levin took Tessa's body into his arms. Clenched tightly while whispering to his own heart.
Why do you love me so much, Tessa? I'm ashamed that you were so good to me that you dodged one side of your lung for me. But what can I do? Even you were always there for me, even though you knew I didn't put a taste in you. I promise to grow my love for you, and our son, Tessa, I promise.
"I love you, Tessa."
"Don't go, I beg you....." Parau Tessa's.
"Darling, I promise I'll be okay."
"Who can guarantee that?"
"You, you, and Nicholas who will make me eager to do my duty, I will endure, and come back for you, I promise."
Tessa is silent, but her body shakes with tears because she does not want to be left by her husband.
"Trust me, Tessa, I'll be fine."
Tessa nodded slowly. Deep down he really did not accept that Levin had to be sent back by SIO to carry out the mission, but yes, he resigned, he resigned, the important thing is that Levin has to get back to her in good shape.
