"How's Auntie doing?" Ask Frans to Alisya.
"Ba-good." Answer Alisya.
"Where's your mom?" Alisya again.
"Mama's gone, Arisan" Frans said as he grabbed his coffee mug from the living room table.
"It seems like ever since I went to jail, Auntie has been very busy huh? So Aunt never once visited me."
Alisya became misbehaved with Frans' question.
"There's business that Aunty has to do, then Aunty married someone and lived in Yogyakarta." Alisya.
Frans just nodded and smiled cynically.
"So soon was Aunt married to someone else and gave up on Aris?" Ask Frans.
Alisya just lowered her gaze.
"Tell me the truth, Aunt."
Frans looked at Alisya closely.
"If Auntie doesn't tell me the truth, I'll tell the police that Auntie gave me the idea to kidnap Meli that time." Connect Frans.
Alisya looked very agitated, then she returned Frans' gaze that looked not playing around.
"Aunty was busy taking care of Aris and took her away from Jakarta." Said Alisya with a choked voice.
"Why can Aris be with Auntie? what's going on?" Ask Frans enthusiastically.
"Aris was in an accident, she entered the ravine while she was about to head to your villa. Then, he forgot his memory and his face was broken."
"So far she still forgets her memories?" Ask Frans.
"Tante is not sure, he is currently looking for Meli. It seems his memory is gradually recovering. Aunty to Jakarta to look for him. After six years Aunty took care of him and took care of him, he would have left Auntie." Alisya.
Frans chuckled at Alisya's words.
"What's so funny?" Ask Alisya.
"Auntie.... Auntie, everything that's being forced is not going to be good in the future."
Alisya looked at Frans carefully, she did not expect Frans would say that to her.
"What do you mean?" Alisya asked sarcastically.
"I forced my will and I ended up in prison. Is Aunty not afraid that it will happen to Auntie?" Said Frans.
"Don't be your smart ass Frans, you're just a kid. Know what you are..?" Alisya said cynically.
"I'm not a child anymore, I've been almost thirty years..!" Jerky Frans.
"I saved Auntie by keeping my mouth shut. I'm taking it all alone, even Mama herself doesn't know if we're conspiring. Did Aunt forget? But, what's the payoff? Auntie is free to roam out there, while I'm locked up in jail..! Does Auntie not feel guilty in the least? That's my Aunt..!" Frans.
Alisya was silent he felt cornered.
"Aunty Frans does not mean....
"French... Aunt apologized." Alisya said with trembling lips.
"Eh, Lis. When's coming?" Greet Mama Frans who just arrived home.
Alisya looked back and saw her brother who was standing in the doorway, then he got up from his seat and approached his sister.
"I just came, sister, how are you?" Alisya asked in pleasantries, while peeping both cheeks of her Brother.
"Okay, how are you? Your husband wasn't invited?" Ask Frans' mother to Alisya.
Frans laughed cynically upon hearing her mother's question to Alisya.
"My husband is also in Jakarta. But, on a business trip. I want to stay here for a few days, can't you? Ask Alisya to her sister.
"By dong, when my own brother comes to my house can't breathe." Said Frans' mother with a smile.
Alisya also smiled with relief looking at her brother.
"Have you eaten Lis? Let's eat first." Take Frans' mother, and they both walk to the dining room.
Frans was speechless looking at the back of Alisya who was walking towards the dining table.
"I'm sorry Mel, I feel sorry for you to have to raise your children alone" Frans murmured as she looked at the smiling photo of Meli on her laptop.
After Frans is released from prison, he seeks information about Meli from his friends.
He also heard that Aris died in an accident. At first, he thought that Aunt Alisya had disappeared because she wanted to avoid legal cases. However, he suspects why Alisya so quickly moved on from Aris who was dead and so quickly married to another man.
Initially, he was just fishing for Alisya with his words.unexpected by her, Alisya finally told her honestly that the man she was with right now was Aris.
Aris is not dead. However, Aris is saved by Alisya and the woman takes advantage of the loss of Aris's memory for Aris to remain together with Alisya.
Frans smiled to himself, he shook his head given how cunning Aunt Alisya was.
...
Meli looks at Arya carefully, she nods, a sign that she is willing to hear all the stories about the accident that Arya experienced six years ago.
Meli stared deep into the bead of the man's eyes who was sitting in front of her. Overall, you could say Arya is very similar to Aris.
Starting from the shape of the body, the shape of the head and eyes of the man was very similar to Aris. The only difference is the shape of the nose and jaw. Aryan nose, a little more pointed than Aris. The jawbone of Arya is a little bit thinner than that of Aris.
You could say they were almost like twin brothers. But what makes Meli not believe is that in this world so many people are similar and Meli witnessed for herself that Aris is dead. Meli is desperate to believe that her husband is still alive. However, his logic strongly rejects that.
But, there is no harm if he listened to the story from Arya. Especially when Arya said her memory, that Arya had persuaded Meli to go home while in the train car. No one knows about it but Aris and him.
Meli's hands felt so cold, as she prepared to listen to Arya's story. His heart was beating fast. He did not know what to do when it turned out that Arya and Aris were the same person.
So many questions are lodged in his brain, including one of which is who has been in Aris' grave.
Arya looked at Meli He was preparing to tell her what he had been going through all this time.
"Before I start my story, please don't think I'm lying. I've suffered enough for six years. No interlocutor, no certainty of who I really am. If you don't like it, please shut up. Try listening to me first. After that, you are free to leave me. But, if what I'm saying goes into your logic, you want to come together to unravel all this?" Said Arya with a pleading gaze.
Meli bit her own lips, she considered what Arya said. Then, slowly he nodded.
"Whatever it is, I'm ready." Meli Say.
