HE IS ME
.... ......
The morning came when Jenita was startled by the sound of a loud Alarm. Attach the eyes several times to adjust to the light that enters through the curtain.
"I'm dreaming." Said dimly.
Missing Alex made her fall into a dream. I don't know what or why he never knew. Never knowing love makes Jenita only know what it feels like to miss. Like this time, when Andrian had to return to the city of S in order to replace his father. He felt he no longer had someone who could accompany him even if it was just a story.
The existence of Rendi on his side did not change things much. The young man was still keeping a safe distance with her. Maybe because he was reluctant or maybe because he was afraid of Alex. What was clear was that the young man was still awkward before him.
Turning to the right and to the left, did not intend to immediately get up and clean up as usual. Jenita really felt lazy today. Until a knock on the door stopped his absurd movements on the bed.
"Yes aunt, I went to the shop a little unlucky."
Jenita still did not budge, but the girl began to frown upset because the knock on the door did not stop. Not usually aunty so, even the middle-aged woman rarely woke Jenita because the girl never woke up too late.
"Yes, bi.. " Jenita's words stopped. Staring fixedly at the face of Alex who stood staring at her behind the door that opened a little.
"illness?" The man said.
Time has shown at 7am but Jenita has not come out of her room yet. Something beyond his habit. Of course it worries those who are looking after him now. No exception Rendi and aunty. The two people who were specifically instructed by Alex to always take good care of Jenita.
Alex's sudden presence not only makes Jenita surprised. But also the people who were there. Alex said nothing about his arrival this morning.
Instead of answering, Jenita still stared silently at Alex who stood worried. The man's hand had even stretched out and pulled over Jenita's forehead which was not hot because the girl was not sick.
"You coming?" The touch of Alex's hand was real and Jenita was only aware of her impeachment.
"Heem, what's wrong with you? it hurt?"
Jenita's headband even makes Alex squint his eyes. Scrutinized Jenita's entire face with her sharp gaze. Makes the girl clumsy. Jenita quickly closed the door and ran to the bathroom. Immediately be aware of his appearance this morning that looks random.
"Yes, geez. Why am I being so selfish." He said as he closed the bathroom door.
Meanwhile Alex who was still standing in front of Jenita's room door smiled funny. Then he stepped into the living room where Rendi was waiting for him with great nervousness. It is undeniable that he is afraid of making mistakes that make Alex angry later. But seeing Alex step up with a smile on his face made him a little uneasy.
"There's progress?" Alex began to ask when he had been sitting on a single sofa directly opposite Rendi.
"Not much, sir. It's just like I reported last night. If one of his men sees a black car seen just before they act to save Miss that time." Rendi again explained in detail what his men got.
Their conversation came to a halt when they saw Jenita coming out of the room and stepping towards the direction they were. With a fresh face and a smile that is always on her beautiful face.

"Why don't you tell me if you want to come?"
There were about 5 people who had breakfast first that morning including Rendi. They refuse subtly when Jenita asks them to eat together in the dining room.
"intentionally."
"Jenita gave a small snort with Alex's answer. The man simply smiled while enjoying the fried tempeh available at the dining table. Last night, he immediately departed from the city of S after all his work was finished.
Andrian gave him the news if he had to go back to S city yesterday. That's why Alex is trying to get the job done as soon as possible.
" What's your agenda today?"
"Not yet know, I had wanted to make a cake with a variety of recipes that I and Andrian had studied. But I don't know why I feel so lazy today." Jenita chewed rice with spinach vegetables and also corn omelette on her plate.
"Rest if so. Later in the afternoon I plan to take you to meet someone."
"Who?"
"You will know, too, that. Eat up, look at your skinny body like that. Here I bribe!"
Alex thrusts a spoonful of rice in front of Jenita's mouth. At first the girl refused but Alex did not kneel her until in the end Jenita received a bite for a mouthful of rice from Alex.

"Why don't you tell us, Lid. We are family, after all."
In a mansion in the city of S precisely in the residence of Alex's parents. Lydia is seen sitting together with Kuncoro and Winarni.
Kuncoro forces Lydia to come with him. After he heard the story of the son, about his best friend and also his daughter. Claudia's existence as Jenita will gradually be known by many people. Given this time, Jenita no longer wears wigs or glasses to hide who she really is. It does not rule out the possibility that people who will harm them both will act immediately and will even find the whereabouts of Lydia during this time.
"I just don't want to trouble you with my problems. I've even been evading for years, but why do they never let me go."
Winarni gently rubbed Lidia's shaken shoulders. The strange life she had to go through was enough to make Winarni understand the condition of her husband's best friend.
"Stay here!!. You'll be safe here, don't worry about your daughter. She's a strong girl and will definitely get through all of her well. Alex is accompanying and protecting her now." Kuncoro.
Kuncoro feels indebted to the late Ikbar. His best friend once saved Kuncoro from an attempted thief. Even Ikbar had to receive six stitches in his chest due to the scratch of the sharp weapon that should have been received by him. But Ikbar quickly brushed it off and replaced her receiving the wound.
For Kuncoro, no one can match the position of Ikbar in his heart.
