Seeing Ivona standing in the doorway with Alexander, Thomas immediately approached. From the shocked look of Ivona, Thomas suspected that his sister had heard his mother's conversation with her first brother.
"Iv, come in, we'll explain to you" Thomas said.
Ivona hesitates, but Alexander leads her in. "All will be well, there I am with you." Alexander said the same word to make Ivona calm.
Everyone stared at Ivona who looked uninspired. The man whom Mrs Iswara had spoken to since, approached Ivona. In her heart Ivona felt like she had met this person, but where?
"Iv, how are you?" the man hugged Ivona. "I'm sorry I just came here, sorry if that time I didn't have time to say goodbye to you. After the asylum, I had a flight to New York."
Mental hospital?
New York's?
Ivona immediately remembered the face of this man, whom she had seen in the asylum when Alexander brought her from there. If not mistaken, it must be Rio, Ivona—si's first brother who owns the body.
"I-I've been better," replied Ivona.
Rio then looked at Alexander, he remembered very well the face of the man who used to take his sister away without his permission as Big Brother. The man's gaze clearly described his dislike of Alexander
"Thank God," Rio Iswara said in response.
"Sit, Iv. We're talking about what you heard earlier" Thomas said.
Mr. Iswara observes Ivona, seeing the condition of Ivona who has been kidnapped. He can't see his daughter, but Mr. Iswara is also anxious when he finds out Ivona was kidnapped. "How are your wounds, have they healed?" asked Mr. Iswara as Ivona walked past him.
"It's better" replied Ivona who was sitting next to Alexander.
"Iv, I'm sure you must have misunderstood Mom, but please listen. I don't mean not to think of you, she just can't accept the fact about Vaya. Please understand about Mom's situation." Thomas tried to explain.
Ivona looks at the lazy-looking Lady Iswara to meet her. As Thomas said, Ivona was trying to understand what her mother was feeling. Psychologically, it is perfectly normal for her mother to deny all the facts about Vaya. Not only his mother, everyone who was in his mother's position would also show the same reaction, namely denial. Vaya who was known well long ago, given affection and love, but eventually betrayed, it must not be easily accepted by his mother. Even if you can accept it, it certainly does not immediately. It takes time until someone can accept a harsh reality about someone they love.
Ivona took a deep breath. Then he nodded at Thomas.
"Thank you, Iv," said Thomas.
Mr. Iswara looked at Ivona who had been heartened to accept his wife's unacceptable attitude. To most people, it must be the attitude of Lady Iswara contrary to the concept of blood ties, where the blood relationship is definitely thicker than water. But not for Mrs Iswara, the emotional bond between the woman and Vaya is much stronger than the blood bond with Ivona. From here Mr. Iswara can judge how Ivona—sang princess blam— has a great soul.
"Ma ... Nana," called Grandpa Iswara who had just woken up, since then the old man had continued to fall asleep while everyone was arguing.
Hearing her name being called, Ivona went straight to Grandpa Iswara's grooming bed. "Grandfather, this is Ivona, Cake."
"I miss you, Nana," said Grandpa.
"Ivona misses grandpa too. Grandpa must be healthy quickly, in order to quickly go home, Ivona will take care of grandfather at home," said Ivona motivates.
Grandpa's eyes were shining. Emotions gushed on the face of old grandfather Iswara to be able to recover immediately.
Ivona was in the hospital until the evening. Then he decided to go home, when he looked at Rio, his first brother did not like if Ivona lived with Alexander.
"Why go home to a man who has nothing to do with our family, Iv. If you're afraid Vaya will harm you, we can increase the number of guards to keep you safe" Rio said.
Ivona couldn't answer this time, because this wasn't her will either. He looked at Alexander who was behind him.
"For now my place is the safest for Ivona. If you want to add a guard to Ivona in your house, just find that guard first, but for tonight Ivona will still come home to my house. Come on, Iv." Alexander embraces Ivona and takes her away from Grandpa Iswara's treatment room.
No one disputes let alone prevents. He let Alexander take Ivona away from there.
Arriving at the Villa, Ivona went straight into Alexander's room. He immediately cleaned himself up and opened the textbook, his intention to expel the disturbing feelings about his mother. Ivona had said that she could accept the facts about her mother, but as a biological child Ivona could not deny if she was jealous of Lady Iswara's attitude towards Vaya.
Ivona stood up, she opened the balcony door. Looking at the night sky would probably make her mood better. He stared deep into the starless black sky. Trying to learn about his ego and also his mother.
"Are you thinking about your mother?"
Ivona flinched when she found Alexander already standing next to her. The man stood leaning against the balcony railing facing Ivona.
"Don't be glued to the love you don't get, be happy for the love you receive. If your mother's love can't be achieved, remember there are your brothers and your grandfather who gave you heartfelt love. Don't ignore that love for the love you don't have."
Ivona. He began to think about what Alexander had said. "Well, there's no point lamenting the sadness of not getting love from one person. He must still be able to be happy because there is another love that wants to make him happy," said Ivona.
"From all the love you get, remember there is love from me for you" Alexander said.
Ivona turned to the man. His eyebrows shot up, his forehead creased deeply. "Can you repeat?"
Alexander chuckles. "I don't like doing re-broadcasts." The man chose to leave but he had previously scrambled Ivona's hair.
Ivona's not in the way. He looked at Alexander who left his own room. Ivona heard Alexander's words, and it was just to test the man. After all, Ivona's soul was that of a mature woman. He could see there was a strange feeling he felt towards Alexander, as well as the man. However, he was not ready to clarify everything. Honestly, Ivona was still doubtful about her condition. Until when can he be in this body, in this world.
Will he be able to return to his world, or will he be forever locked up in this imaginary world?
