HE IS ME
...... .......
No man ever wanted to be born a bad man. Because all are born the same but with different paths. It is good that human nature is not someone else who forms it. But it is they who have chosen the path themselves.

Alex pinched the base of his nose slowly. Talking some time with Jenita didn't calm her down. Even the man felt a longing that made him more tormented. Alex was in his apartment. But that does not mean the man will really rest as he has said to Jenita.
Alex really won't make Jenita alone. Although there were a lot of people around the girl. Alex is still not calm. Not without reason, because the story of Lady Lydia is what makes her want to keep Jenita more and more every time.
The family's supposed past is not what they expected. It starts with a misunderstanding that makes everything ambiguous.
Alex pov's.
It was late in the afternoon when Alex entered the Jenita family mansion. A house inhabited only by her mother, Lydia.
The middle-aged woman who still looks very beautiful welcomes Alex. Although he honestly wondered who exactly the handsome young man who visited him now.
After they sat in the guest room next to the side. It was only Lidia who dared to ask who Alex really was. Upon learning that Alex is the son of Kuncoro and Winarni, Lydia's cries are unstoppable. The woman tries to calm down and control her feelings.
"How are your parents doing, son?"
"They're good aunts, they also send greetings to aunts, apologizing because they can't come to pick aunty." Alex smiles, seeing Lydia herself as if looking at a very mature version of Jenita. But a little difference between the two of them, Jenita who is always smiling and full of spirit is different from the mother who although smiling can still be seen in the wound in her smile.
"It's okay. As long as all is good, that's enough. How did you know auntie was here?"
Right, this is one of the reasons for Lydia's shock at Alex's arrival. In addition to Eyang, Sinta and Jenita. No one else knew of his existence because they all considered him dead a few years ago. Likewise with Hermawan, men whose age is not much different from Lydia. Since her departure from the city of C, Lydia chose to shut herself away from the outside world. Many things made him make that decision. Hermawan was even surprised to find out that he was in contact with Lydia. The man eventually found out Lydia's mobile number from the eye. Not much Lidia told Hermawan, because he really did not want to be in touch with the outside world anymore.
That's why he was keukeh forbid Jenita to return to the city of C and meet the eyes of Sulastri. But the stubbornness of an Jenita can not be prevented, however Jenita right to know about his papa even though it is only a story that must bring him back to the city of C in order to be the heir in place of Ikbar, Ikbar, his papa.
"From Jen, tan." Alex answered what he was.
Jenita asked permission several times to meet with her mother. The girl was afraid that her mother would hear the news of her abduction and become very worried. Jenita did not want to make her mother sad again.
"Don't Alex meet up with, Jen?"
At first, Jenita asks Alex to keep a secret about the events that happened to her. But seeing Lydia at this time makes Alex heartless. The handsome man told me everything that happened until the end of Jenita being with him now.
Lydia's cry broke, the middle-aged woman was no longer strong to stem her emotions. With a slightly quivering voice he recounts his past to Alex. The emotions were very real, even Alex could understand how the woman had to be strong all this time.
Alex promises to always look after Jenita. He convinced himself that all his actions were right.
After returning from Lidia's residence, Alex immediately drove his car to the residence to his parents. He is very sure that his parents know little about the story of Jenita's family past.

Not much different from what he heard from Lydia. Alex again had to breathe heavily after he finished listening to the story of the papa about the Ikbar family.
"As for him, it's enough Lidia to bear it all. Don't let the child too, the child is innocent."
Kuncoro's message that Alex always holds. Alex who has indeed fallen in love with Claudia is increasingly determined to take care of her woman well.
Pov off's.

"All good?" Alex contacted Rendi when the man had just opened his eyes.
Sleeping at almost 3am did not make Alex dizzy. He was preparing to go to Claudia's office. Claudia's absence back in the company makes Alex have to extra divide his time. No longer do we want any more upheaval within the company.
"The meeting will be held at 4pm. So, you can rest for a while to recover your strength." Behind the wheel Aldi stared at the boss and his best friend briefly before refocusing his gaze on the path they went through.
"I just need a cup of coffee." Alex answered with closed eyes.
"No!! you've spent 2 cups of coffee today. And I'm not gonna give it anymore. Claudia also asked me to take care of you. But if you don't listen to me what you can do, then I'll tell him."
"You called her?" Touch Alex, the man immediately straightened his back and stared at Aldi who was still focused on turning the steering wheel of his driven car.
"He called me. He asked how you were." Aldi still spoke calmly, not caring about Alex's sharp gaze on him.
"Then what did you tell him?"
"Yes, let me just say that you're out of work right now. Even just a time to eat, sometimes you miss it."
"You're crazy!! why tell him." Alex yelled at Aldi's chair from behind.
"Then? you want me to lie? Ckck of course I wouldn't do it. What's problem? everything I say is true. You should be happy because Clau asked about you. That means he's paying attention to you. Now it's up to you, if I say the most I know if Clau calls me back."
Aldi deliberately uses Claudia as a tool to make Alex listen to him. Already almost a week, Alex overtime even not infrequently he saw his boss had not had time to sleep just to finish his job. Aldi just does not want the boss and his best friend to fall ill, which will be fatal to all the plans he has prepared very neatly.
No matter the consequences later if Alex finds out that he is lying. Neither Aldi nor Claudia had any contact with each other. It is only with Sinta that Aldi speaks and shares stories. But Aldi knows for sure, Alex will not listen to the words of others. Even his parents and now he just tried his luck by using the name Claudia.
