Three o'clock in the morning local time.
Jacob and the others have just finished carrying out their task, which is to eradicate the dark net plotters who returned to spy on SIO's office in Bandung.
"We need to hunt Hugo down as soon as possible!" danish is full of determination. "He took my son away again! Argh!"
Bugs!
A large tree next to the Danish was the target of the man's anger.
"He thinks he can beat me with that damn threat!"
"Danish, enough!" firmly Jacob. "We've killed almost all of Hugo's men. SIO will soon come up with a new plan to catch the leader of the damn group!"
"Jacob, SIO has managed to get the location where Hugo and his plot are now. Mr. Frank asks us to directly pursue him at this time because his position is still not far from us" said one agent.
Jacob nodded.
"You seriously injured, go back to SIO's office, the rest come with us!" Danish's orders. "Lucas, take the seriously injured agent to SIO's office!"
Lucas was a little surprised to find the order. But yeah how else? It was also impossible for the injured agents to return home without escort.
"Two people are with Lucas! Others, let's go now!" said Jacob.
All nodded obediently, and immediately carried out the orders as Jacob and Danish had said earlier.
*****
In the morning, at 06.15 WIB
Alesha had been awake since. After finishing the morning prayers, Alesha did not fall asleep again. He plays with his four pets, as well as Nick, Tessa's son, and Levin.
"Miss Laura, Madame Mona, and Miss Sharon will be arriving at the mansion soon" said Taylor, who approached Alesha.
"Huh? Who're they?" ask Alesha. He still does not remember his family-in-law, and his mother-in-law.
Taylor smiles. "They are your family, Miss. Your mother-in-law, and your brother-in-law."
"family? Mother-in-law? Brother-in-law?" reset Alesha.
"Yes." Yeah." Taylor nodded.
Alesha was silent. The family? Mother-in-law? A brother-in-law? Alesha's mind kept repeating those words.
The family? Mother-in-law? A brother-in-law?
"Nina! Grandpa!!"
Immediately the memories returned to Alesha's memory.
Realizing that the old man sitting in the wheelchair was his grandfather, Alesha immediately ran and hugged his grandfather's slender body which only skin and bones were left.
"Grandfather, crabbing, hiks," A whimper of happy tears began Alesha's morning.
"Grandpa also miss the same sweet, how are you doing?" Alesha's grandfather gave a hug back to his favorite grandson.
"Alhamdulillah, sweetie, cake, hix."
The deg!
Alesha was stunned as she exhaled, rough like a person shocked by something.
"Grandfather," murmured Alesha. "Miss..."
"Yes, Miss, what's wrong?" ask Taylor.
Alesha puffed up, staring at her guard. "Sir, Nina...."
Taylor's forehead was confused.
"Grandfather... Nina..." Alesha repeated her words. "Grandfather, Taylor. Where's Grandpa?"
Alesha. "The ladder! Where's Rangga? Stirrup!!!!" Alesha got up looking for her sister.
"Miss!" Taylor took a quick step, following her young lady.
"The ladder!!! The ladder!!" Alesha ran towards the backyard. And sure enough, it turns out that Rangga is there, with Aiden, Tyson, and Merina.
"The ladder!!" Alesha ran quickly towards the big brother.
"Alisha? Why?" ask Rangga, relax.
"Grandfather!" Alesha. "Where's Grandpa? You said that time Grandpa Ujang was dead? But the truth is not, is it? Where's Grandpa?" Alesha stared intently at Rangga. New memories are beginning to re-emerge.
Caring, playing, teaching, joking.
Alesha remembered a few things about the incident with her Grandfather when she was a child.
"I want to meet Grandpa!" Alesha squealed a little.
Rangga took a deep breath, and exhaled quietly.
"You really lied to me a lot, Rangga!"
"Alesha, relax, I'll explain everything." Rangga tried to be as calm as possible.
"You separated me from my grandfather too! He took care of me, and took care of me when my parents died! Now where is he?!"
"Alesha, relax! Grandpa Ujang is fine!" Rangga slightly raised his tone. "He was in your mother-in-law's apartment. Jacob had already told the two maids to take care of him. Grandpa Ujang is fine!"
"How do you know he's okay? Have you met her and told her everything that happened to her?" Alesha.
"I've been visiting him a few days before you go back to Indonesia. He asked you, he really misses you a lot because until now he doesn't know you've been found." Rangga. Guilt begins to take over.
Alesha's gaze changed, disappointment dominating the aura of her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me I was found? Don't you feel sorry for her?"
"Sorry, Al," that's all Rangga can say.
"I want to meet my grandfather! I want to go to her apartment!"
"No!"
Alesha turned around and left just like that.
"Taylor, take me to my grandfather!"
"No! Alesha, you can't get out of this mansion!" Rangga held Alesha's arm.
"Otherwise?! Wh why? Why can't I get out of this mansion?!" Alesha raised her voice.
"Alesha, Dirga's men are roaming outside! They're after you!"
"WHERE? WHERE'S THEM? I'LL FINISH THEM ALL OFF! THAT DAMN GUY KILLED MY BABY! I LOST MY MEMORY BECAUSE OF IT! I WILL RETURN THE TREATMENT!"
"ALESHA, ENOUGH! BACK TO YOUR ROOM!"
"No want! I want to meet my grandfather! I'll face those bad guys! I'm not scared!"
"Olsha! Remember, you're pregnant! Go back to your room now!"
"I don't want to! I want to meet my grandfather, Rangga! You separated me from him!"
"LESHA!!!"
The deg!
Alesha jumped to the brink after Rangga snapped at her so hard.
"Alesha, go back to your room now!"
Alesha. Fearful. Yep! He was very afraid if Rangga was angry with him. He always obeyed, and obeyed everything Rangga said because he was afraid that Rangga would scold him. But this time? What has he done? He even made his adoptive brother angry to hit him hard.
"Go back to your room now!" rangga's voice was low. "Merina, accompany Alesha to her room."
"I.Yes." Merina was the same, she was really surprised when she saw Alesha being yelled so hard by Rangga.
"Come, Al," asked Merina while holding Alesha's arm.
Alesha nodded slowly. He still looked down without saying a word.
"I don't know if Alesha can be subdued by her sister" Tyson comments after Alesha leaves.
"I think it's just Mr. Jacob alone can conquer Alesha," continued Aiden.
"You just snapped at Miss Alesha." Taylor aimed at Rangga with her sharp gaze. "Don't doubt you're her brother so you can act at will to Miss Alesha. Remember that! You're just his foster brother. Even Mr. Jacob would rather that you don't have to come and take care of Miss here."
Rangga clenched both of his palms. His jaw was also hardened so strongly he held back anger against Taylor just now.
No one appreciates me here but Alesha! I am indeed only an adopted sister to Alesha, but I will stop at nothing to look after Alesha! Mr. Rangga promised, Rangga will continue to take care of Alesha, even though his son-in-law does not appreciate at all, and expects Rangga.
*****
Inside her room, Alesha was crying as she hugged Baby Ale.
"Hiks, I want to meet my Grandpa, Merina. Hiks, I want to see him."
"You'll meet him, Alesha, but not now. It's dangerous out there for you."
"I'm not afraid, hicks. I'll fight, and run out of those bad guys. Hiks, I just want to meet my Grandpa. He must be very worried about me, hiks. Rangga is evil, he really hides a lot of things from me, hicks."
Tock.... Tock.... Tock....
"Excuse me, miss," said Taylor from outside the bedroom door.
"Hiks, yes, just open the door!" sahut Alesha vibrates.
A second later...
Chequek.
Who're they? Thought Alesha.
"LESHA!"
Laura, Alesha's mother-in-law had arrived, and immediately ran over to her daughter-in-law with a very happy feeling.
"Alesha, this is your mother, your mother-in-law, hysterics."
Alesha was stunned in bewilderment as the middle-aged woman claiming to be her mother-in-law hugged her body tightly.
"This is mom, Al, hiks. You know, we all really lost you back then."
Alesha was still silent with her thousand confusions.
"Oncea..." Mona approaching. He founded his son, Haris near Sharon. "Al, it's me, Mona, Jacob's brother, your brother-in-law," he gently rubbed Alesha's cheek.
Really, Alesha really did not know who the people in front of her were.
"Alesha, do you remember me? I'm Sharon, your sister-in-law, this is Haris, your niece, Al" Sharon said as she walked closer to Alesha.
"Alesha, don't you remember us?" Laura cupped her daughter-in-law's face. "Hey, don't you remember us?"
Alesha shook her head.
"I'm Laura, your mother-in-law." Laura smile. "It's okay you haven't remembered us. Soon, you'll slowly remember who we are."
Alesha didn't reply to anything. He was silent, and increasingly wondered who the three newly arrived women were?
"Al, where's Jacob?" ask Mona.
Where's Jacob? Wait, it's eight o'clock past fifteen in the morning, where's Jacob? Why hasn't Jacob come home yet?
Alesha shook her head. "I don't know," then he turned to Taylor. "Where Mr. Jacob's? Why hasn't he come home yet?"
Taylor stared at her young lady. What he must answer. He hasn't heard from Jacob yet.
"Taylor, where's Mr. Jacob?" ask Alesha, witty.
"Ehm, sir said there is still busy at work, Miss, so, Mr. Jacob can't go home yet" replied Taylor, stiff.
Alesha bowed. To be honest, he misses Jacob, but Jacob still can't go home.
"Alesha, Jacob told me you were pregnant. Is that true?"
"Yes." Yeah." Alesha nodded.
"Really?" both of Laura's eyelids widened. "Then will you soon have another grandchild?" Laura squealed happily.
"Ehm... I.. Yes," again, Alesha nodded, stiff.
"Geez, thank goodness then."
The deg!
Alesha again choked as Laura hugged her body tightly.
The middle-aged woman was truly engulfed in such great happiness. How not? Mona is pregnant, Alesha is pregnant too! That means he will soon get two grandchildren from his two children. It was a blessing, she was so grateful for the pregnancy of Alesha, and Mona.
*****
Meanwhile in SIO office, Bandung.
Laras, he cried bitterly while hugging the body of his daughter, Eve who was rescued by her husband, and other SIO agents.
The Dark Network group in Indonesia has been defeated, as well as the main head, the brain of the plot, namely Hugo.
Mr. Frank and Aldi are in the room where Hugo is being held. They were doing an introductory thing to the mastermind.
Meanwhile, Jacob, he's in the treatment room. There was a severe injury to his right shoulder plus a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
"Mrs. Jacob, how are you feeling right now?" ask the doctor.
"Much better" Jacob answered.
"Thank God."
Lucas, and Mike who accompanied Jacob in the room, were able to breathe a sigh of relief. Because, now their mentor while at WOSA has looked much better than a few hours ago.
"I have to go home now" Jacob said.
"No. You're still too weak, Mr. Jacob, don't force yourself!" banned the doctor.
"I'm doing fine. Really, I have to get home. My wife's waiting at home." Jacob insisted.
"Mrs. Jacob, you can't be tired or move around a lot for a while. Your gunshot wounds won't heal in just a matter of hours!"
"I know, I have a private nurse at home" Jacob lied. Since when did he have a private nurse?
"Huf! All right, 'cause you just kept pushing from before. You can go home now." The SIO doctor finally resigned, and gave permission for Jacob to go home. Not just once, but Jacob continuously forced to go home from earlier. So, he was forced to give permission after weighing, and reviewing Jacob's last condition just now.
"Thank you then, Doctor Vei," Jacob replied.
"Yes, you're welcome." Doctor Vei nodded.
"You wanna come with me?" Jacob pointed at Mike, and Lucas.
"Yes. We don't have any more jobs here" Mike replied.
"Where are Bastian, Maudy, and Nakyung?"
"They went home first to the apartment about an hour ago" Lucas replied.
Jacob simply replied with a nod.
"Come, we're going home. I want to quickly rest" Jacob said as he walked.
Lucas, and Mike took the initiative to help Jacob walk by holding the man's arm.
*****
"Mr Vincent, Mr. mansion. Jacob, and Alesha are filled with Mr.'s men. Jacob, and Lady Laura. It will be difficult for us to carry out our mission" Stella said.
"Just calm. Let's see how tight the security Jacob gave your friend, Stella, is" Vincent replied.
Next to Stella's eyebrows raised as she heard the word 'your friend'. What does it mean to be Alesha, his friend? Didn't he?
"I'll make Jacob like I used to. Crazy because Yuna left, and we're gonna take Jacob's past on this mission." Vincent grinned. He is with you Stella and fifteen other Theo men have arrived in Indonesia. They were resting in a villa located in Bandung.
"You sure about that?" Stella hesitated a little.
"Why not? Isn't Alesha amnesiac? You can instigate it, Stella. She may not remember what you did to her."
Stella rolled both her eyes with a puff. "Not bring that up."
Vincent chuckles. "You'd be happy to see your old friend soon."
"Yourf!" Stella exhaled violently. "I'm going to go to the room right now" he's lazy with Vincent, so he'd rather just go and avoid the guy.
*****
"Momy...." Haris, a four-year-old boy, ran to his mother, Mona. "He hit me!" the little man pursed his lips while complaining to his mother.
Mona smiles. "Who?"
"He!" Haris pointed at Nick who sat down while staring innocently at Haris.
"Sick, momy!" Haris stomped his feet with a slash while holding his head.
"Nick wanted to borrow Haris's toy, Mona, but Haris refused, so Nick hit him" Tessa said with a chuckle.
"Haris, you can't be stingy!" Mona menoel squashy nose tip of her son.
Alesha made no comment seeing the two boys who reminded her of her late son and daughter.
"Khalids.... Alshiba.." murmured Alesha. Not noticeably, Alesha's eyelids were wet. He was about to cry, but tried to hold it.
Laura, who realized that, immediately approached her daughter-in-law.
"Alesha, why?" ask Laura, gently. "Your eyes are glazed, are you crying?"
"It's okay, mother." Alesha smiled as she sighed at her falling tears. "Seeing Nick, and Haris made me think of Khalid, and Alshiba. He blinked several times because tears blurred his eyes.
Laura took a long breath. It seemed, he also started to feel what Alesha was feeling. He lost both of his grandchildren about a year and a half ago. Alesha must be very sad. He knows what it's like to lose two children who are so loved.
"aliyah, Alshiba.... Mother kangen," said Alesha almost without a sound. "What are you guys?"
"Al, I know how you feel. Mother has experienced it. Be patient, Khalid, and Alshiba are happy. Now you, Jacob, and we all just need to focus on your pregnancy." Laura tries to encourage her daughter-in-law.
Alesha nodded. Her mother-in-law was right, she was pregnant, and she had to focus on her pregnancy in order to stay in good health until the birth, and so on.
"Excuse me, Miss, Madam." Taylor stood in front of Alesha, and Laura. "Sir Jacob, he just arrived, now that you're in the living room."
Both of Alesha's eyes instantly widened, and showed a happy twinkle. "Mother, will go to Jacob first" Alesha told her mother-in-law.
Laura nodded. "Come, I want to see your husband too."
Not wanting to waste time, Alesha finally rushed, stepping quickly to where her husband was. Laura walked behind.
