Daren's face was so pale. "what..what do you mean Xaphier? What are you saying?" Said Daren, as if he could not hold the weight on his body, he just sat on the asphalt hearing the information of the Daren people who had just told about the corpse of the woman found in the car that was charred and could not be recognized anymore.
Daren was stunned, she sat stupefied and did not want to listen to their words.
"That's impossible, double-check, your people might make a mistake, there's no way lexia's falling down there." Daren stood up, he ran and looked at the corpse carried on a stretcher and was wrapped in a body bag so that he could not be recognized anymore.
"Stop ! Stop....!" Shouting, Daren held back the people who were about to carry the unrecognizable corpse, Daren slowly opened the body bag that was in front of him. The woman's face could no longer be recognized, without turning her face she was looking for a sign that the burning woman was not a lexia. But he could no longer recognize the figure.
They finally took him away from Daren who was sitting on the side of the highway. The rain fell as if mourning the loss of lexia. Daren's body was shaken she cried while lowering her head. Xaphier stood there staring deep into the place where the lexia fell, their bodies wet as the torrent of rain drenched the location.
Xaphier was bowed, just now he had found Celia, a face that he had so longed for like the face of his mother who had been nurturing him, but he left again so quickly. He looked at Daren who was sitting on the asphalt while lowering his head. His cry could not be heard because of the torrent of rain that soaked the earth.
"Daren, we need to go to the hospital and treat your wounds." Xaphier looked at Daren who did not move the slightest bit from where he was sitting, only his body was shaken, unable to believe what had happened with his wife's lexia, much less that they would soon have a baby. Xaphier pulled Daren's collar roughly.
"Don't despair Daren, not necessarily the woman who burned it lexia, we should go to the hospital and make sure of it." Xaphier. Daren's shaken face then began to move, he stood up and walked after Xaphier towards his car.

The news was conveyed by one of the guards belonging to the master caesaar, he reported the incident that befell Daren and lexia. Mr. caesaar sat down, he sat down and fell silent. "How can my daughter's life end like that, she's long suffered why she had to accept such a terrible fate." Her speech.
Thomas patted the back of master caesaar, a smile clearly visible at the corner of his lips. "Make sure the woman who died, maybe they made a mistake!" Shouted mr. caesaar.
One of his trusted aides briefly looked at Thomas's face tilting his lips to the side, after that he lowered his head and thought about the order of the caesaar master to investigate the insiders and outsiders in his mansion and regarding the kidnapping incident at that time, he missed one person, Thomas, who was, he is Xaphier's uncle from his mother's siblings, he has not been examined at all, only a handful of people suspected about the incident.

The door of the room opened, the night was late and a woman came in with a tray of bread and a glass of water. He saw lexia lying so tormented with a wound on his forehead that dried up untreated. The woman was one of the kidnapper's wives, she untied lexia's hands and cleaned his wounds, then gave lexia bread and water.
"You okay?" tanyakanya. "Where am I?" Tanya lexia watched her surroundings as the illumination entered the room.
"Let's not be noisy, they're all gone and I saw them bring you here, the bad guys just left, oh yeah one of the guys who brought you here is my husband, my husband, he gave this to you." A letter was written on a piece of paper in a hurry.
"Go away before they all come back, I did intend to kidnap you but not to kill you let alone you are pregnant just like my wife, so better go all the way, and don't go to your family because if you come back he'll repeat what he did to kill you and your baby, you better go and hide somewhere far away."
Lexia gaped at this writing. "My husband said I should let you go, go as far as possible." Said the woman immediately untied the lexia hand, she gave a long coat so that lexia would not get cold when outside in this cold night. Without waiting long lexia put on that oversized coat and immediately left from there before the men returned.

The news of the attack had reached the ears of Robert and Alvin, all of whom were shocked. Mr. Robert struck an arm in his chair and stared intently at Sebastian. "Investigate who was behind the lexia attack, why did it happen again? I'm sure all of this is related to 16 years ago. In the past, they made me a scapegoat by accusing me of kidnapping, I believe the perpetrator of this incident was the same person, the one who wanted lexia's death."
~
Daren and Xaphier are already in Xaphier's hospital, so the examination is done in secret, Daren feels unsafe if everyone knows about the woman's condition.
Daren sat on one of the chairs with a shirt still covered in blood. A few hours later, after waiting for the results of the examination to come out, the doctor found the identity of the woman who died.
"Sir, we have identified the body of the victim, she is a woman with 25 years of age, blood type A and I think this identity fits perfectly with the woman who disappeared three days ago, the woman disappeared around the city of Tulas to Oklahoma city."
Hearing the doctor's explanation Daren got up from his seat, his body trembled listening to the forensic doctor's explanation.
"Well, that woman is 25 years old?" Daren.
"What does that mean about the woman who disappeared three days ago?" Xaphier. The doctor explained about the car found without its owner around the city of Tulas and the identities found at the time were all in the police in Tulas.
"One of my friends from the police
Saying, the owner of the car disappeared, only the vehicle was on site, I'll immediately ask for the woman's identity, and match the fingerprints of this burning woman." Her speech.
"I'm still investigating this case, and I'm going to find the mastermind, I'm not going to forgive him and I'm going to make them feel everything he did to my family, because that guy lived my mom so short because she thought about her daughter who disappeared and never came back until death to pick her up, and now the attack is back, and I'm pretty sure their target is Celia." Xaphier.
"What do you mean Xaphier?" Daren asked, he looked at Xaphier who was sitting next to him. He breathed his breath and began to tell me everything. "I'm not the son of Caesaar Rodrigo, I'm just a niece who was raised since childhood because my father and mother had died, Not long after Celia was born, Celia was born, they still love me and don't distinguish us even though I'm not his real son, I love my mother very much, at that time she was so gentle and very dear to me, but we lost celia back then, she said, finally my mother got sick and died." Xaphier.
"So you're saying this attack was the same person who kidnapped lexia as a child?" Daren asked, shaking in disbelief.
"Yes, someone was scared when he came back in our family and...." Xaphier was speechless as understanding just appeared, he suddenly stood up from his seat. "Daren, I have to go and make sure of something." Xaphier said wearing his suit.
"Let me know if his identity is known." Xaphier said then left in a hurry and left Daren alone in that place.

Lexia moved quickly as she held onto her stomach, and terrified that if anything happened to her fetus, she continued to walk briskly down the lonely streets that people rarely pass. He hugged his body because of the cold air.
When the journey was far enough, he saw the bus stop and waited for the bus there, taking care that if there were Jeep cars passing by, lexia of course had to hide. Finally the bus waiting for lexia arrived, fortunately today he pocketed some money that he could use during his trip, not only that, but that, lexia secretly wears a necklace that Xaphier gave her without Daren knowing.
He sat in one of the empty seats on the bus and gazed at the destination of this bus, they went into the outskirts of the city in Tulas even further towards the remote village in the city. Lexia was just following where the bus was going to take her, she was going to look for lodging upon arrival at that place.
Lexia read again the hastily written letter. Then back to folding.
"Go away before they all come back, I did intend to kidnap you but not to kill you let alone you are pregnant just like my wife, so better go all the way, and don't go to your family because if you come back he'll repeat what he did to kill you and your baby, you better go and hide somewhere far away."
"My baby? But why would they want to kill me?" Lexia scales. She continued to hold her stomach, she was so afraid that bad things would happen with her little baby. Lexia misses Daren so much, she wants to hug him at a time like this, but lexia is afraid, if she comes back and she is in danger as well as the baby she contains.

The sun was now emitting its rays, Daren who was still waiting at that place had now stood up because the results of the investigation had come out, the identity of the woman who was burning was known.
"Sir, we've learned the victim's identity." He gave the Result to Daren, he was so surprised because the name listed there was Nency Robert. "Nency? Why can he...." Daren then recalled the day when he came to his villa that afternoon and after his departure from the villa was reportedly never heard from again.
"Lexian ! Where's lexia?!" Said Daren, after making sure the woman's corpse was not lexia, daren immediately left the place and looked for lexia that was out of nowhere. Daren called Xaphier and told him the result.
"Lexia may still be sealed somewhere by the kidnapper." Xaphier said by phone. Daren's jaw tightened, he continued to drive his car to the scene where the car burned. I don't know where he's going to find lexia.

Lexia arrived at her destination at about 05:00 a.m., she saw the small town with pine trees on each side of the road, houses with a design that is quite interesting because between one house with another so similar, wooden houses with the same shape, only the yard and the name of the owner of the houses that distinguish it.
Lexia walked through the quiet little town, then her eyes looked at a middle-aged woman who seemed to have trouble carrying her groceries, she approached her and tried to help her. the woman turned to see lexia helping her carry one heavy canticle in lexia's hand. Then he smiled.
"Thank you, the groceries are quite heavy, today the kids are going to school so it's just me who has to go to the market and bring all of this" the woman complained. He stared at Lexia from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.
"You looking for something, son?" tanyakanya. Lexia smiled, she walked with the woman. "I'm looking for a little house that I can rent for some time" said Lexia.
"You look so young young girl? why would you want to rent a house in a quiet, detailed place like this?" lexia raises his shoulders. "I had a fight with my husband, and running away from him I just wanted to hide from him for a while" Lexia told a lie.
A concerned face appeared on the wrinkled face of the middle-aged woman who said her name was Elma. "Gosh, are you married?" she said surprised as she closed her mouth, she saw lexia was so young and beautiful, this early she should have been like a girl her age gathering and going to college.
"And I'm pregnant, I want to rest in a quiet place" said Lexia, holding his stomach. "You're pregnant?? oh no, give me that plastic bag you can't lift heavy things" he said, but Lexia was still strong enough to help him carry his things.
He glanced at the woman who seemed to think as they walked. "You can stay by our side until you make up with your husband, you have to keep your womb, you shouldn't lift heavy things like this." he pointed at the item lexia was holding and immediately picked it up.
"Follow me dear, my house is quite spacious, Oh yes, I accommodate children who do not have parents anymore, we accommodate them and make our place like a parlour, like a home, and next to my house there is an empty house that is quite spacious, you can live there." said the woman with a warm smile.
Lexia is grateful to be able to find a place to stay tonight, she will stay in this remote village, until her condition is quite safe and will soon return to meet her beloved daren.
