HE IS ME
.... .....
"Darling, are you sure?" This is the second time Alex has asked the same question. The steady nod of sight from Claudia's head made her sigh softly.
Alex does not expect the girl he loves to experience unwanted things like the previous incident. Even Alex no longer wants the girl back traumatized, where Claudia will feel scared if the night is approaching and cry at midnight. At least not yet for now, because Alex is indeed launching his plan although notoriously slow but all that for the good of Jenita too.
"But, baby.. "
"I have to get up. I want to see when I hide like this. I don't want to look weak, I have to solve everything immediately and restore your good name and also unravel all the mysteries of your death. I know you're worried about me, but all I have to do if I want to succeed with what I've been doing for a long time."
Claudia clasped Alex's hands gently. The annoyance and anger that was in his mind towards the man who was staring at him is now slowly gone. It may even have evaporated left no replaced by the comfort it gives this final ending.
"I will take care of myself as best I can. There won't be another incident like yesterday because of my carelessness, I promise."
He knew, behind Alex's silence, he had a great concern for her. Several times even Claudia realized the whereabouts of Alex's people not far around her without any intention of interfering.
"I know you're a strong woman. I don't think I'm going to be able to ban what's been your decision. Whatever you do, put me in it. I will always be there for you."
Nodding her head with a fluffy smile from Jenita made Alex take a rough breath. In the soft temple, the plan that has been running must be changed because Jenita herself will enter into the role. And that means Alex's vigilance needs to be improved.
Seeing the spirit and perseverance of Jenita, it did not feel like Alex to forbid. In the end, the man nodded and made Jenita immediately embrace him. Things that the girl had never done, because as long as near even lived together. Only Alex hugged him first. The spontaneity that Jenita does not make imaginary makes Alex pull the tip of her lips form a smile and then return Jenita's embrace tightly.

Everything goes according to the terms. Very neat and never create the impression made. Alex's confidants carry out their duties according to their respective portions and roles. Not many know even Andrian who entered the group was not aware if they were the person sent by Alex.
Two girls applied for jobs at Jenita's store. For the role of Andrian to Dira as the in charge and control of the store as long as Jenita is not there accept both without suspicion.
Lisda and Angia, both working very professionally one in the production section and another in the front directly serving guests. Not only in the store, even in the shophouse where Jenita production house has increased by 2 workers. The two-storey shophouse became increasingly crowded with activities that did not end. Even Andrian to rent some shop next door for widening the area. Of course it was Alex who borrowed his hand. The man was just behind the screen.
Marni and her husband had to move back. Those who asked Jenita to guard her hut were given access on the 2nd floor. But now they have to move to the 3rd shophouse which is also a small mes for some employees who stay overnight as well as leny and Anti. The two women who had just entered as employees.
Jenita's decision to return to city C using Claudia's identification certainly made everyone worry about her. But Jenita is still Jenita who sometimes has a high level of stubbornness so that no one can stop her.
Everything is set and everything is ready. Luckily Andrian did not get in too deep to trap Dira. Until now, neither he nor Alex found any irregularities in the girl. Maybe she was different from my mom. The Ayunita is more aggressive, shows her real dislike and has a greater obsession.

"Are you sure, son?" Same with Alex.
Lydia repeatedly asked the same thing. But Jenita's answer never changed one bit. The girl did not want to be too long shackled by the story of the past to her parents who should have been over a long time ago. But the selfishness of each side makes everything become ambiguous and prolonged.
"Ma, just pray Jen can soon uncover the mystery of papa's death. Jen sure mom knows about it. But Jen would never force you to tell her everything. Jen also knows, mama did all that for Jen's sake. But ma, Jen just wanted to show Jen filial piety to papa. Jen can't hug papa like Jen's dream all along. Let Jen do what Jen was supposed to do as a child. The injustice you get should not go on. Jen wants it all to end here."
In the arms of her mother Jenita crying. The girl had never shown weakness all this time. His late grandfather always taught him to stay upright and not be afraid of anything. But Jenita is still a woman, her meek soul cannot be removed. Until the kidnapping incident against him yesterday again sparked his spirit. He remembered all his grandfather said. Sufficient until now she became a weak Jenita but not tomorrow. Because tomorrow, Jenita will be born with a different aura.
Alex smiled faintly, the man who was always beside Jenita was just silently watching how the woman was talking. There was anger, hatred and also a blaze of spirit that boomed in every word he said.
"Son Alex, promise your aunt that you'll take care of her. Keep all the promises you made to your aunt. Only Jen has an aunt right now." Back the old woman as much as she pleased. If only he didn't want to involve the princess.
But it is true that Alex said, selfishness, greed and envy is very difficult to eliminate. It will even ingrained as if it becomes a necessity. Inexhaustible indeed, because even her husband Ikbar to take lives but all that has not been able to remove all the problems. And as if not satisfied to target the child who clearly does not know any problems in the past.
