HE IS ME
...... ......
Staring in disbelief at the face of the man who was lying weakly before him. Lydia repeatedly wiped her tears. Somehow he would express all the turbulent feelings in his heart at this moment. Pleased, sad, injured and sick all felt mixed in his bloodstream. Happy, disappointed and upset are present at the same time.
Who can be blamed for the time that has passed?
A face that was no longer young with a body full of scars. Blackened eyes and cheeks that can no longer be pinched her now rolled real in front of her. The handsome man who filled the recesses of his heart for many years became a weak figure helplessly. Even her hair had bleached more than her age.
Even so Lydia still recognized the face. His heart was still pounding even though it was just close together. And more convincing is the birthmark on his right-hand man. The skin is slightly darker than the skin around it.
Lydia was still silently staring at the idol with one hand held. Lydia even wiped the sweat that came out on the forehead of the husband slowly. The man has not been conscious until now.
Dehydration experienced quite severe plus drugs injected to him in a long period of time makes the performance of his muscles slow to function.
"Rest, since you came you haven't rested. Eat first and rest your body for a while. At least when he realized you were still in good health."
Lydia just stared at Kuncoro without any intention of answering. She wanted to be there next to her husband who somehow realized when.
Kuncoro sighed softly, Lydia was stubborn but she had to remain patient. However, he understands how the couple is. Loving each other but forced to separate for decades.
"If you don't want to rest, you better eat first, Lid. You can eat here while watching your husband." The persuasion then got a nod response by Lydia.
Two packs of rice were already on the table. Kuncoro, who had intended to replace Lidia, also prepared rice for himself.
"We're eating!!"

The news about the origin of Jenita is shocking not only in the city of S. But it was heard to the city of C where the store that Jenita inherited is located.
Some people are surprised by the news. Especially for people who have only known Jenita as a culinary entrepreneur with sponge cake as his trademark.
There are also those who doubt the ability of Jenita who is famous as the beautiful and graceful Ceo Claudia can make sweets especially sponge. Various photos about Jenita or Claudia circulated and her name spread beat the rising top artists.
The names of Lidia and Ikbar also re-emerged, as well as the name eyang, and Kuncoro family after Alex's statement that confirmed the relationship between him and Jenita.
"You happy?"
Both of them were in the office in Jenita's room. The beautiful girl again leads the company that has been taken over by Alex in recent months.
"It feels like being free from a stuffy and squeaky place. Now I can be myself as Jen or Claudia. I no longer need to change the look and feel of the face and character when I have to appear as one of those names because both are me." His smile is getting wider.
"Thank you Lex, all thanks to you. I can't get to this point without your help."
"Hem."
Only a deheman could be heard from Alex's lips and it was Jenita's usual hearing. He was not angry let alone offended because the man who was tucking his hair behind his ear had a different nature and character to other men.
Alex is Alex. Who are always indifferent, flat, firm but have great attention. On his head to the chest the always warm field holds it. Jenita found peace there. The rhythmic flow of heartbeats gave her comfort. Growing up without ever feeling a father's embrace makes Jenita miss this very much. For him a warm embrace Alex can bring back his memories with the late grandfather.
"There will be many consequences that you have to go through after this. You gotta be strong, yank." Alex kisses Jenita's head over and over again. I never get tired of doing it because I love it.
"I knew. Promise me you'll always be by my side, holding my hand and giving me strength for it." Jenita looked up until their eyes met in a straight line.
Alex's fingers stretched out caressing a beautiful face that changed his personality without him knowing. The stiff and fierce nature he possessed did not apply in front of Jenita. Alex will turn into a soft and loving figure in front of the girl with two dimples on her cheeks.
A warm kiss occurs between the two. I don't know who started because everything happened so fast and stopped when the oxygen in their chest had run out.
Jenita again drowned her face in Alex's chest making the handsome man chuckle with the behavior of the lover.
"I love you, Jenita Claudia Andini. I love you my ugly girl. I love you whether it's Jenita or Claudia because to me you're still you. A woman who can shake my heart and turn my world around. I love you."
The expression of love that Alex spoke for the first time made Jenita soar. The girl smiled with a slow nod of her head. The more her arms held on Alex's warm body.
"I love you too." His murmur slowly made Alex's smile increasingly faintly formed on his thin lips.
