The Enchantment of the Innocent Woman

Aldo

1 month passed. Today is Jackson and Clarisa's H-1 wedding.

It looks like some people are starting to go by and prepare everything from the room decor to the MC who looks busy rehearsing for the reception tomorrow after the wedding ceremony.

"Ca, do you seriously not want to invite your girlfriends" asked Clara.

"Caca's friends are just Jackson and Ferdi used to be Ma. So after Jackson became Caca's girlfriend. Caca's friend Ferdi" Clarisa said.

"Jeez, what a fuck my son. It's okay" said Clara, rubbing her son's back.

"Ma, can Clarisa meet with Jackson. It's been a week Ma. Caca misses her very much" Clarisa said with a pinched face.

"No Ca. Stay a day. Hold it dear" said Clara who made Clarisa pout for a moment.

"That's why Mama asked you to invite your friends. To have your friends chat on your wedding H-1" Clara said.

"Clarisa told me Ma. Clarisa has no friends. You know the reason" Clarisa said.

Clarisa used to be full of pressure. He was always guarded by a guard. Even when there is a friend who invites him to acquaintance. His guard will report that to Arya. And Arya will find out the ins and outs of her friend. If Arya doesn't fit the ins and outs of that person. So Arya did not hesitate to stay away from Clarisa.

"I'm sorry, my dear. Your papa did that because he loves you so much." Clara then wiped away the tears that began to drip from her eye patch. Clara remembers what happened 20 years ago.

#Flashback

Clarisa was 1 year old. He has a very handsome older brother named Aldo. Aldo's age is 10. He has a close friend named Roby. Roby is one of the children of Aryan's business partner. That day, for the first time Aldo and Roby went on vacation to a beach with their parents.

"Al, can you swim?" Ask Roby

"Can dong. I'm very good at knowing" Aldo said, holding his chest proudly.

"Oyeah, let's prove it. We swim on the beach" Roby said

"don't want. The waves are too big" Aldo said.

"Basic coward" Ejek Roby.

"I'm not a coward. Yes it is Come. But I gave my permission to my mom and dad" said Aldo to leave. But it's blocked by Roby.

"It is not necessary. They won't allow us. Come on" said Roby.

Aldo agrees and follows Rudy to swim on the sidelines.

They swim without supervision. Because both of their parents were busy talking in the villa. Clara was in the room to calm down Clarisa who was crying because she wanted to go home.

They keep swimming. Until they do not realize that they are too far from the beach.

"Rob, please. My legs can't be moved" Aldo said.

"Al, why are you" said Roby trying to help Aldo by holding his hand. But a few long intervals. Roby's legs are cramping too.

"Owh, no. Please help" cried Roby.

But there was no one on the beach. Because it is a private villa that is located far from the center of the crowd.

"To-please" they said, but nil. No one came to save them. Until their bodies drowned and their voices were no longer heard.

Plakk

"What's the matter, baby?" Ask Arya.

"My feelings are not good. Where's aldo?" Ask Clara

"He was out playing sand with Roby" Arya said

"Please find him now. My feelings are not good. I was afraid that something might happen to her" said Clara, who immediately made Arya run out looking for her son.

"Owh doesn't. They're not here" Arya searches all over the beach with Roby's dad just after he calls Roby and tells her what happened.

"order, Roby. Where're you?" Shouted Arya and Budi alternately.

"Call Noah" Arya told her personal assistant.

"Okay sir" Noah said and then called the police.

A few hours' lapse. The police have arrived at TKP, with the help of the SAR team they are looking for the two children.

They're looking all over the beach. Until the scream of one of the teams caught everyone's attention.

"Hey, there's a little boy here" cried the man.

"Jeez, Roby" said Budi who then immediately hugged his son who was lying stiff with some of his skin turning blue.

"Innalillahhiwainnailaihirajiun" said one of the SAR Team after checking Roby's pulse.

"Aahhh, Ti-impossible. Roby! Do not leave papi son" said Budi who can no longer stem his tears.

"How about Aldo?" Arya asked who was starting to get angry.

"I'm sorry, sir. We haven't found him yet. We've been looking all over this beach. But we found no trace of Aldo" said the SAR Team Leader.

"Your work is so incompetent. It seems useless to call you here, Aaaaa" said Arya while pulling her hair in frustration.

"Pardon us sir. We have done our best" said the SAR Team Leader.

#FLASHBACK OFF

After that 20 years ago. Arya keeps trying to find Aldo. He still hopes Aldo is alive, although the odds are very small.

Because of that incident Arya greatly tightened the guard for Clarisa. He started picking friends for Clarisa, even saying he didn't allow anyone to be friends with Clarisa. Past trauma required him to do that.

"Ca, sleep. Remember tomorrow is your wedding day" Clara said.

"Clarisa can't sleep yet ma. Clarisa was feeling very nervous" Clarisa said

"That's a sure thing, son. Mam used to be like that too. But if you don't sleep. Tomorrow your eyes will be pouchy, and surely your makeup will not look perfect" Clara said.

"Yes already ma. Clarisa's forcing her to go to sleep" said Clarisa, who tried to close her eyes.

"Sleeping well dear" Clarisa said then kissed her son's forehead.

"Hmmm" Clarisa said with her eyes closed.
