5 Years later
A tall man was staring at the documents strewn across his front desk. Occasionally he kneads his temple to reduce the pulsation on his forehead.
Rean leaned his back on his office chair, staring longingly at the figure in his high school uniform who was in the picture frame of his desk.
The girl with a thin smile and a flat face look with no expression. His shady gaze, as well as his gentle way of speaking, made Rean miss the young figure even more.
"I miss you, should I give up, Reana?" ask Rean on the picture frame.
Kriegett ...
Rean turned his head to the door that opened slowly. There's Saga with Karina over there. Rean chose to turn his chair back, he was reluctant to look at his Grandmother's face.
"Rean, Jane's waiting for you to go to the boutique looking for your wedding dress." Karina said softly to Rean. The old woman stepped slowly closer to the man's desk.
"Don't touch it!" hardik Rean when Karina's hand about to touch Reana's picture frame.
"You still can't accept the fate of his appearance," muttered Karina who was successfully captured by Indra hearing Rean. The man grumbled slowly.
"For what reason do I have to accept the fate you made yourself. You are not a God who can determine the path of human destiny. Even if you're my grandmother, but that doesn't mean you can manage my life."
"I'm just straightening out the path of someone who's almost lost." Karina said indifferently to Rean who now turned his chair back to face Grandma.
"I'll find him, and after that you can no longer ban us from being together!"
"Alright," replied Karina final. He was sure that no matter how far Rean searched, he could never find Reana.
Because there's one place Rean won't go to.
The old woman stepped out of Rean's room, actually she could not see the look of vengeance on him and also look sad eyes when remembering Reana. Maybe he was cruel, but this was all for their own good.
***
A 5-year-old boy is running after his twin sister. They seemed to be enjoying autumn together, running to and fro under such a beautiful sprinkling of cherry blossoms.
Sean Ray Hounten and Azura Lynelle Hounten are twins born to Reana five years ago.
After the suicide, he fell into a coma for two weeks. However, when he woke up there was no Rean by his side. Only Karina and a Doctor she doesn't know are waiting for her.
Reana, who asked about her brother's whereabouts, only got a weak ring from the Doctor and a painful answer from Karina.
Rean had officially married Jane one Sunday when Reana lay in a coma. The woman was devastated, hurt, and very down. He tells Grandma to take him as far away as possible so Rean can't find him.
For this reason, Reana was transferred to the country of sakura, Japan. She lives in Okinawa with her two children in a modest house in modern Japanese style.
Be happy? Of course not.
Reana is not at all happy with her new life, she works in a ramen noodle shop that will only be crowded with visitors when winter has arrived.
Karina really like throwing it away, just a few times her Grandma sent money to her that she could only save for her two children's school preparation later.
Actually there are some men who try to propose to Reana, only that the woman still loves Rean very much and will never be able to love another man. Although Rean blatantly hurt her by marrying another woman.
Now he will only live his days with two little angels who have been the reason for surviving in such a cruel world.
Seeing them smile makes him happy.
Although his two children are not like children in general.
Azura, the little girl has hemophilia which keeps her from getting hurt in the least. Reana was always worried about her daughter's safety.
One time when Reana neglects to look after them and causes Azura to be injured, a small wound due to the fruit knife he used resulted in his daughter losing a lot of blood and being rushed to a nearby hospital.
Not to mention Sean who has a rare gene disorder that causes the boy can not feel pain at all.
The disorder is called Congenital Insensitivity to Pain (CIP), a disorder caused by mutations in genes that affect nerve function.
As a result, Sean was unable to feel pain even though he was seriously injured.
Reana was very sorry for her past actions that caused suffering for her own children.
The woman continued to watch her two children from kajauhan, she was sitting on the front porch of her house now. A cup of warm tea was in front of him.
"Mother, Brother is hurt." Azura seemed to be running towards Reana who immediately walked quickly towards them. Soon Reana brought her son into the house followed by Azura from behind.
The boy's knee was bleeding, it seemed like he had fallen down while playing the chase earlier.
Reana immediately retrieves the p3k box, cleans her son's wounds and treats him as best as Reana can.
"Why did you get hurt like this?" asked Reana softly. The woman looked at her eldest son who just looked down silently. It is a bit like Rean. It's just that Sean talks more than the reclusive Rean.
The rest, they are both really very similar, both in terms of physical and the nature of both.
"Sorry, Mom." That's all Sean can say. The two children looked down to understand what they were doing. Reana just smiled gently and told the two to rest as the weather got colder.
***
Rean grieves when he had to set foot again in Japan, the country where the late Lilian lived which was the place he least wanted to visit so far. His hatred for Lilian was ingrained to make him reluctant to visit the sakura country.
He just went straight to his study and will immediately solve all the problems in the company so that as soon as possible he can return to his country.
"Saga, I'll get some fresh air first." Rean left just like that after putting some important documents on the table, just let Saga take care of everything, Rean's inner annoyance.
And now, Rean is enjoying the beauty of autumn in the country. Cherry blossoms that are so beautiful appear to fill the streets also cover some empty garden benches. Rean cleaned the pink and white petals so he could sit on the wooden bench.
His concern floated on the figure of the woman he had longed for so long. The Grandma's cheating that was so desperate to keep them apart, Rean couldn't forgive.
'why can't I see Reana one last time?'
'Rean, you're unstable. Let us take care of it, you calm yourself down here and I'll make sure the funeral goes smoothly!'
'no, Grandma! I want to see Reana for a second. Why can't you understand what I want?!'
'sorry, I'm in a hurry!'
Rean recalled his conversation with Karina five years ago. Just as Reana's funeral was about to take place. Rean, who was about to catch up with his grandmother, was injected by someone who was Karina's subordinate.
The man fainted and was never able to see Reana again for the last time.
'sister, Grandma lied to us!'
'what do you mean, Raina?'
'Reana .. The one in the coffin is not Reana!'
'what?'
'I saw it for myself. Grandma forbade us all to open the crate, and when Grandma let her go, I opened it. Inside the chest was someone else, not Reana!'
Rean felt sick when the memory came back. The man stared at the pair of children - like twins - playing ball in the park.
The long-haired girl reminded him of Reana when she was a child. It was so similar even from the way the little girl whined at the boy.
'where's Reana, Grandma?! You lied to us! Where is he, where?!'
'sorry, Rean, Grandma was forced to do this for your good. The path you took was wrong. I as your Grandmother take full responsibility for the future of all of you!'
'where is Reana! Tell me, where is he?!'
'I still can't say it. Tell you what, I gave you five years to find Reana. And if you manage to find her, I will bless your relationship.'
'you're serious?'
'yes.'
'well, I accept!'
Rean gasped in shock and came out of his daydream when a ball rolled under his feet. It turned out that the ball belonged to the boy who had been playing in the park.
"That's mine" the boy exclaimed as he watched his ball being taken by Rean.
Rean smiled and walked slowly towards the boy.
"Take it," said Rean thrusting the ball at him.
"Sean, it turns out you're here. I've been looking for you everywhere!" Rean was stunned when he heard a woman's voice coming from behind him.
Suddenly, Rean's heart beat faster. A voice so familiar to him, a voice he had longed for from the figure of a woman he had been looking for for years.
Rean was glued to the spot. Soon Rean turned back and found a sight that left him at a loss for words.
"Re-ana," call Rean stammered. The figure of the woman in front of him was now as shocked as she was. It seemed that the woman had reverted her body a few steps, she was not ready to meet Rean at this time.
"Mother!" call Azura, her daughter. Reana immediately turned her gaze towards her two children who were staring at them in confusion.
"We're home!" Reana took her two children to get out of there. He did not want Rean to hurt his two children if the man knew the twins were their children.
"Wait!" sergeant Rean grabbed Reana's wrist. The woman hissed when she felt a slight pain in her wrist.
"Are they ... My children?" ask Rean slowly. He stared intently at Reana's gray bead. A drop of tears glided beautifully onto her marble cheeks. The woman wiped it off quickly with her one free hand.
"No!" answer Reana ketus. The pain of his heart over the betrayal of Rean who could marry another woman, so deep that it made him not think again how the child so longed for the figure of the father they asked.
Reana would rather lie and hide all the truth about the status of her child who is none other than Rean's biological child, than have to watch her children hurt like Karina said when she had just given birth first.
"You lied!" said Rean sharply. The man approached the boy holding his sister's hand in fear. Rean watched the boy who was like a duplicate of himself.
"My son" said Rean, full of novelty. However, Rean had not had time to touch the top of Sean's head, Reana quickly jerked his hand and carried his two children away from there. The woman was shrouded in overwhelming fear. He no longer wanted to lose the people he loved after his parents' departure to heaven when he was a child.
He loved his two children more than his own life. Like a mother, she will do everything she can to protect the safety of her two children and make their lives happy.
Rean stared at their departure with a wounded look. So much did Reana hate him, that the woman did not want to recognize Rean as the father of their two children.
Rean reached into his pants pocket, took his cell phone to contact Saga so that his subordinates would investigate Reana's whereabouts in the city of Okinawa.
