While Memory Loss

14. The House of Jiha

Adler takes Natsya to the parking lot, he opens the front passenger car door and asks Natsya to sit down. “Come in.”

Natsya obediently walked in and sat in the car.

“Hey, where do you want to take my best friend?” linda screamed a small run over to Adler with Naila in her arms.

Linda holds Naila in order to catch up with Adler and Natsya faster.

“I will take Natsya to the hospital,” Adler replied.

“Hospital? Syasya does not want to go to the hospital. Uncle do not take Syasya to the hospital ya~” panic Natsya does not want to go to the hospital. Natsya tried to get out of the car.

Adler immediately blocks Natsya. “OK. You sit quietly. We're not going to the hospital,”.

“Uncle appointment?”

“Yes. I promise,” nods Adler.

Adler closed the car door and turned to look at Linda. “What really happened to Natsya? Why is he like this?” adler asked confused and worried.

“You sure you want to talk here?” ask Linda.

“Log in the car,” smart Adler.

Adler walked around in front of the car, opened the driver's door and sat down. Linda also got into the rear passenger seat with Naila.

Adler started the car.

“Where are we going Uncle? Syasya wants to go home. Uncle take Syasya home to Jiha ya~” whining Natsya.

Adler's head throbbed at the uncle's call from Natsya's mouth. He is indeed a few years older than Natsya, but there is no need to call him uncle either. This made her feel that she was married to a minor.

“Who Jiha?” tanya Adler tried to calm down so as not to scare his wife.

“JIha is Natsya's half-brother,” Linda replied. “You don't know that? Are you really her husband? You don't know the members of the Natsya family?” suspicious Linda.

Adler turned the steering wheel to start running the car out of the parking lot.

“Tell me where the address is,” said Adler did not answer Linda's question.

“City aside ...” Linda mentioned Jiha's residential address.

“Sister Linda, Naila hungry.” Naila suddenly spoke while holding her stomach.

“Jeez, I forgot. Sorry about Naila. Because we are busy looking for Natsya so we do not have time for lunch,” said Linda felt guilty.

Natsya who sat in front turned around and smiled towards Naila. “Naila hungry. Let's eat this,” said Natsya took out something wrapped in tissue paper from inside her bag.

The three immediately glanced at Natsya in surprise.

Naila grabbed the tissue pack from Natsya's hand and opened it. Inside it was a piece of roasted chicken thigh. Natsya deliberately wrapped it in the middle of the meal when everyone was busy enjoying drinks from Asgar.

“Sorry Brother Syasya,” said Naila happy.

“Natsya how can you bring food like this?” ask Linda to be curious. Just this time he saw his best friend smuggling food like this.

Adler also glanced at Natsya wanting to know the answer. He never knew his wife still had such a habit. It seems like there are a lot of things she doesn't know about Natsya.

“The chicken is very good. Similar to the chicken that is often ordered daddy in restaurants. So, Syasya take a little in case Syasya is still hungry later,” replied Natsya smiling shyly.

He knew his actions were not good. But, he was forced to do this because he often suddenly felt hungry.

“Yes, geez Sya~ You really changed baget. You used to not believe in this. You always put on a strong and cold look. You are so cute now. I like that smile especially. Your smile is very expensive as I recall,” chatter Linda.

“Really? I always smile. Daddy says my smile is the happiest smile in the world. Every time I smile Dady's face instantly softens. That's why I like to smile so much,” recalls Natsya.

“Oh, yes Yes. Who's your daddy?" ask Linda to be curious. Natsya never told me about her real father. They only know about his stepfather.

”Daddy Syasya the most handsome man in the world. And yes, daddy also has a house like a palace that is very, very large and spacious. Also sangaaat indahh~" said Natsya.

“Hoaamh~ Syasya sleepy. Syasya can sleep?" Natsya covered her mouth that was yawning and looked at Adler for approval.

”Sleep,“ graceful Adler.

Natsya closed her eyes getting her wish and began to fall asleep.

The car went silent after Natsya fell asleep. They were afraid of disturbing Natsya who was sleeping. Adler even slowed down the speed of his car.

”Let him sleep. I'll take him upstairs,“ Adler said.

”You sure? Jiha's house is on the third floor lo and there is no elevator here,“ Linda reminded.

Adler nodded. Linda gives up and takes Naila out of the car first. Adler also got off around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and bent over to get Natsya out.

Linda leads the show way and Adler follows from behind with Natsya in his arms.

Just a few steps away from the car, Natsya woke up and opened her eyes.

”Have arrived?" Natsya scrunched her eyes feeling a strong sunlight.

“Iya,” Adler replied as he walked into the community building.

Natsya who just woke up realized that someone was holding her. “Let me down. I can walk by myself,” smart Natsya.

Adler stopped walking and looked at Natsya's face, he sighed and lowered Natsya from the very embrace of the princess.

Natsya who set her foot on the ground tried to stabilize herself. Adler helped with half hugging him.

“Thank you,” said Natsya slightly away from Adler after standing stably.

“Hei! What are you two doing?” linda shouted that was far ahead.

Natsya looked towards Linda hearing her voice, and she immediately walked towards Linda. Adler is also back walking behind Natsya.

Arriving at Jiha's doorstep, Linda knocks on the door and the door is opened by Jiha. Linda had already sent the previous message to Jiha, so Jiha requested a leave of absence and waited for them at home.

Jiha was very surprised to see the man behind Natsya. He couldn't have mistaken his idol, Hilman Ansanay. How could he be here?

Wait ....

Is Hilman Natsya's husband? Remember Jiha in the message Linda sent earlier that the man claiming to be Natsya's husband appeared.

“JIha?" Linda waved her hand in front of Jiha's face seeing him dumbfounded at the pecking.

”Ah, sorry.“ Jiha smiled shyly just sober.

Well, what have you done Jiha? Inner Jiha groggy.

“Please enter,” welcome Jiha to open the door wide and give way.

Adler nodded and followed them into the house.

“Naila get into room first yes,” pinta Jiha on Naila. Jiha tried hard to suppress the excitement and nervousness in her heart to be able to meet with the idol in person.

“Iya, Brother,” nods Naila obediently.

“Can Syasya go to the room too? Syasya is still sleepy,” said Natsya trying to withstand the drowsiness that comes.

“Yes. You have a good rest,” said Jiha.

Natsya and Naila head to their rooms.

“Contest. I will get tea for you first,” said Jiha please.

“Thank you,” said Adler.

Jiha nodded and walked towards the kitchen. Linda and Adler sat on the couch. Adler observed the room while Linda observed Adler.

Soon Jiha returned with a tray with three cups of tea. He put the cups one by one for Adler, Linda, and himself.

“You're really Natsya's husband?" tanya Jiha started the conversation.

”Yes. My name is Adler Ridsyi. Natsya's legal husband,“ said Adler introduced himself.

”Adler? You're not Hilman Ansanay?" jiha asked confused. That face really resembled Hilman, he couldn't possibly be wrong. But why is his name different?

“My full name is Adler Hilman Ansanay Ridsyi. Hilman Ansanay is a stage name,” obviously Adler did not expect brother Natsya turned out to be one of his fans.

“Oh,” murmured Jiha. It turns out the stage name, it deserves it.

“You're Natsya's family?” adler looked at Jiha.

“Ah, yes. I'm his family. More precisely I am his half-sister,” Jiha replied nervously.
