Alex was in his office. Sitting while paying attention to some of the files that were given by Maya, his private secretary. One by one he turned over the papers he was about to sign. Re-examine if there is an error in the file.
For a moment he rested his back on the cushion of his great chair. Raise his head up. Look at the ceiling of his room. A few moments later a faint smile on his lips appeared as he recalled Desi's words earlier this morning before leaving for the office.
The flashback
Alex and Desi are still on the balcony of his room. Stand facing each other. Both of Desi's hands were coiled around Alex's neck. Alex's hands were wrapped around his wife's waist.
"Why is it so easy to forgive someone who has been mean to you?" Alex asked who wanted to hear the answer from his wife. Because the crime Sandra did was very big for him. He almost lost the woman he loved and moreover the fetus that he did not know at all would be snatched as well.
"Isn't it better to forgive someone than to be hostile to them?" Desi replied pausing her sentence for a moment. "And the most important thing is that he is our brother" he continued, which left Alex speechless unable to answer Desi's statement. He rested his head on Alex's chest. Slowly stroked Alex's chest. "I beg you to forgive Sandra. Other than you and Mama, she doesn't have anyone else here." Persuading her husband to forgive his sister. "You don't want anything to happen to Sandra?" Desi asked who was still resting her head on Alex's chest.
"What do you mean?" Ask Alex, whose mind is floating everywhere when Desi said that.
Desi looked at Alex's face, which was already a worry. "Do you know where Sandra went?" Desi asked who was answered by Alex's headband. "The outside world is dangerous. Sandra is a woman. What if Sandra..."
"Nothing will happen to Sandra" said Alex cutting off the words from Desi. "He'll be fine" he added, again turning his back on Desi. I need to find him right away. I don't want anything bad to happen to Sandra. Alex said in his heart as he gripped the iron barrier tightly on the balcony of his room.
While Desi was seen smiling thinly when she heard the words from Alex. She believes that her husband is worried when Sandra is not around. Desi hugged Alex from behind. "Dear I may make a request of you?" He asked, hugging Alex.
"What?"
"If I have to resign from the company. Can I deliver lunch to your office every day?" Asked Desi who was a little scared. Afraid that Alex would refuse his request. "I'd be bored if I had to wait all day at home."
Alex turned his body back. Staring at Desi's face. "alright. But after that you should go back home. Okay!"
Desi nodded her head. He was very happy when Alex allowed him to leave the house. At least he could get out of the house every day.
Flashback off
Alex breathed out slowly. He saw a wall clock in his study. Currently the middle wall clock shows at eleven o'clock past twenty minutes. That means that soon Desi will arrive at the office to bring her lunch.
"Sir..." Maya still has trouble managing her breath. "There's a phone call from the police station..."
Alex stood up from his seat. He was again surprised by his private secretary's telling of the phone he had to receive from the police station. If you have heard the police station, Alex knows something is wrong with his family members who are currently being held there.
***
Alex stands in front of the holding cell that held his real father. Accompanied by a policeman, Alex did not stop staring at the middle-aged man who was currently entering the age of almost fifty-two years.
He got a call from the police station through his private secretary if he had to come to the police station immediately, because there was a serious problem with the inmate. Problems that made Alex not even believe at all. He got a call that his father is currently suffering from a psychiatric disorder.
"Your father has been five days like that" explained a male police officer who served at the police station.
Alex returns to see his father looking apprehensive. Hendra Wijaya was laughing himself while playing his hand. One by one, he counted his fingers and stopped laughing.
"We think he's hallucinating. But over time he increasingly showed that he was like there was a psychiatric disorder," explained a male police officer named Agung Pratama who was listed on the name tag on his great shirt.
"Then what should I do?" Alex asked without taking his eyes off his father.
"We'll wait for the next few days. If it's still like this, then we're gonna have to take her to a mental institution." Obviously the police are still standing next to Alex.
Alex could only breathe slowly. He was still standing in front of his father's cell. Put both his hands in his pants pocket. Thinking of a way how he could make his father return to the way he was. He never even thought that his father would become like this.
This is the fifteenth month that Alex's father has been arrested for his numerous cases. From the embezzlement of funds carried out by Hendra Wijaya at the Wijaya Group company. The defamation of his older brother, the captivity of his own family, the attempted murder of his own nephew Farel and the last one was the administration of poison at the Alika infusion interval approximately sixteen months ago. All the cases carried out by Alex's father made Alex's father, Hendra Wijaya, languish in a holding cell for a long time.
Although he really hates the father because of the many crimes committed on his family members but he still holds the love in his deepest heart. Once every month without being noticed by his family, he always took the time to visit his father in the detention cell. Although he did not interact with the father or can be said he only monitored the health of the father from afar. He never met his father in person, given all the crimes committed by Hendra Wijaya. With the help of a police officer named Agung Pratama made him able to know the situation of the father. It was Agung Pratama who contacted Alex to immediately meet his father at the police station.
