The Tragedy of the Night

The Part 35

POV Nisa's

When I heard the sound of Adzan reverberating, I immediately opened my two eyes that were still faithfully closed. I slowly opened the two eyelids that felt sticky like there was glue stuck. I vaguely look at the familiar room in my eyes, this is not in my own room, right?

I sighed, like I fell asleep in Arsen's car last night. Remembering Arsen's name and the man had ushered me in, and I fell asleep. I quickly got up from my sleeping position and glanced at my body. Seeing all the clothes that were still complete made me breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing happened with me. If it happens again, then I'm not wrong to call myself a fool.

I lyrically to the side, a boy curled up with his peaceful face. I smiled, then rubbed the child carefully so as not to wake Gabriel who was still with his dream. As he looked back, a black suit beside Gabriel and many unfilled bedding left me confused.

Didn't Arsen bring home his services?  Isn't that suit very expensive? Ah stupid, rich people are free to be thrown away even expensive clothes they have, they are mediocre. But the one that bothered my mind was that there were still loads of mattresses next to Gabriel, just like a former sleeping person. Can't possibly be Arsen, can Ibel's sister be?

Not wanting to bother with it, I uncovers the blanket wrapped in my body and then gets out of bed. For a moment I stood up and took off the hijab I was wearing, then I placed it on a basket of dirty clothes.

When I was about to enter the bathroom, I took a towel and then opened the bracelet in my hand. I stepped out towards the bathroom located outside the room. I faintly heard the sound of water splashing from inside the bathroom like someone was doing a morning bathing ritual.

When the person came out, I threw a smile at the person. Sister Ibel who drew a smile from me instead of replying but even threw away her face. The incident made me wonder. Before going inside, I had a chance to think what was the cause of Brother Ibel being angry with me, did I do anything wrong to him? But as I recall, I had nothing to do with Brother Ibel. Maybe the mood alone makes sister Ibel different today.

I took a breath and chopped my lips, then went into the bathroom to carry out routine activities that I always do in the morning, take a shower and take a wudu. When I was done, I came out of the bathroom and was already wearing full clothes. The clothes I wear today are very beautiful, the designs look very unique, but they are definitely very expensive to twist. Maybe if I buy it to food for a month, it won't run out.

As I was about to head into the room to perform the dawn prayer, I met Gabriel in the middle of the road. The child walks with his eyes closed to the bathroom. I who saw it wanted to laugh so hard to see the behavior of the child who was just there.

"Take the road not with a tight eye, apert hit," my advice then approached the child.

He quickly opened his eyes lazily when he heard my voice. "Eh mother," she grinned while revealing a row of teeth, but in the middle there are toothless teeth, not too much but enough to make people laugh at it.

"Hurry to take a shower, or is the mother going to bathe Iel?" I can see my son's reaction when I say that sentence. The boy shook his head quickly not wanting to be bathed by me, it was adorable.

Gabriel immediately ran into the bathroom as I was about to catch him. With a look of happiness I saw the behavior of the child, in the depths of my heart I am very grateful to have had the child who is always full of joy.

I went back on my way. Arriving at the front door of the room, I pushed the door as I entered it.

I took the face in the closet with the truth, and then carried out my duty as a Muslim. After the greeting I first glorify and recite the holy verse of the Qur'an. A tear fell on my face, here I am facing God, who created me and who rules my destiny. I felt that I was not holy anymore, whether my sins were forgiven by him, I felt contemptible in front of him.

I put the Qur'an back in its place and cleaned up the tools I used to face God. A moment later I stood in front of the mirror. I look closely at my appearance. Suddenly, I felt like someone was pulling my hand down there. 

"Mother! Get me Iel's shirt up there," point Gabriel at the top of the closet.

"All right."

I picked up his kindergarten uniform and helped the boy wear it. I stood up after I had dressed the boy, and then I put on the hijab and got a little dressed up.

I wrote the clock around my left wrist, it seems like the taxi I ordered is coming soon. I walked up to the shoe rack and picked up one of the shoes.

A vibration in the phone that was in the pocket of the suit, made my movement stop. I saw the phone, then immediately ran out because I had received a notification that the taxi I ordered had arrived.

"Sister Ibel!! Please anterin Iel to his school yes, Nisa must be fast," I shouted as I closed the door.

"HM!!!!"

His footsteps sounded fast, everyone was staring at him. There were some people staring at a glance, and some were staring at the woman while shaking their head. Nisa runs towards the elevator, but before that she fills the absence of presence first.

The woman looked very agitated, and more agitated when she pressed the elevator button but the elevator did not open. Sweat drenched around her face, nervousness and fear approached the woman.

Ting...

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the twang of the elevator. Nisa got into the elevator, inside she almost just slid down from the tiredness she felt. His breath was shuffled irregularly. The elevator door opened stating that Nisa had reached the floor where the woman was going.

The woman stepped as usual not too relaxed and not too rushed. Step by step he walked until he arrived at the door that became the barrier between the secretary and the CEO's room.

The secretary greeted Nisa with a smile of her best, she also called out to Nisa in a friendly voice. Kontan Nisa who received good treatment immediately responded to all the treatment of the secretary as well as well. Before pushing the door, he first fix all his appearance so that he will not be labeled as embarrassing by Arsen, he said, inevitably he had to obey all the rules that the man had made for him during his time as a personal assistant.

Sometimes he thinks, why are the rich? They think life is something trivial and a game. How not he thinks like that, according to the novels he has read, often the rich always play the role of antagonists, they do anything including killing to achieve their desires that can be considered selfish.

Maybe what is in the novel is just fiction, but the woman thinks that, what the rich do in the novel at any time can happen, or even has happened. And from that too Nisa's mind processes, or perhaps Arsen is no different from the rich man in the novel. It seems that this is true.

To hell with it all, why would he think of someone who didn't think of him. It was time to digest all that. He better get into that room just as soon as possible before a big boss like the king goes berserk and scolds him.

When the door was opened, a scene made Nisa frown. It seems that Arsen is having guests, Nisa wants to come out not wanting to make an estimate like the secret was disturbed because of it. But, his intention was unsettled when he heard a fact that he was looking for.

"Why you're still Alex Wijaya Altas, I don't think being someone else is fun. And it makes me inexhaustible why did you even close the truth to Dive, wasn't she a loyal person to you Sen? Or are you more than happy with your new name?" Vian asked as he crossed his legs, he took a sip in the cigarette he had in his hand.

"I don't think a doctor can smoke, I think doctors only think about health, I don't think you're a good fit to have that profession. It turns out you haven't changed, either, Vian."

"Already Sen, you better answer my question first. I know this isn't true, and it's probably smarter than my own patient."

Arsen chuckled, "I didn't think you'd admit it." He took a breath, "in that moment I woke up from my coma which took a month. At that time I did not remember anything even remembering a minute ago I was very difficult. They were my parents who came when they found out I was conscious. I see them as very happy, but I also get a very bad thing.

They called my name Alex for the first time, and from there I thought maybe my name was Alex. My days were as usual and I felt no suspicion. When I was about to enter a room like a secret room, I found a lot of stuff in Arsen's name. Not until there, I find out who Arsen is, and I find a reality that makes me not believe, it turns out Arsen is the son of my parents. I who was astonished at that time immediately asked who Arsen was and who I was. They said that Arsen was my twin brother, they suddenly turned sad but it looked like it was just acting.

They said that Arsen had died as a result of an accident. Since I felt something strange, then I took the initiative to search for all the truth. Apparently I did not think I got a reality that made me not believe, a reality that was never imagined in my mind, it turns out Arsen is myself. They deliberately took advantage of my memory loss and changed my name to Alex, their goal was to make my life new, they knew that I hated them so much, they said, and also they know that I don't want to be betrothed let alone that woman is Alinta. They make the match just for business. They hate my talent for being a painter, they want me to be a businessman. So he did that to me, changed the name to Alex, they didn't know that I knew everything, so that's why I kept everything including Dive a secret. Let them feel victorious first and feel that they have successfully affected my brain. So I let them still think of me as Alex and not know that I knew I was Arsen. I deliberately kept my identity in this Indonesia, the only person who knew it was only you Vian. If you dare to divulge, then I don't hesitate to make you unable to see the sun tomorrow." Obviously Arsen was at length, revealing what he meant by still disguising himself as Alex, and using his name if there are people who do not know who Alex is, for example Nisa.

"Wow. I admit you, you're smart. But baby I'm smarter than you" Vian said with a confident face.

Arsen looked at Vian amusedly, "once you, pede" said Arsen cynically.

"It seems like there's someone else in our midst." Arsen stared straight at Vian.

Nisa was aghast when Vian said that, she immediately came out of hiding and ventured to melt the susana with a smile.

"What are you doing there?" Tanya Arsen killed.
