“Cute me.”
Josh Rainer's deep, cold voice echoed in this room that was just me, his grandmother and Margaretha.
He then grabbed my hand and led me out of this meeting room.
From the corner of the room, I saw Grandma Gurnawijaya seeming to massage her forehead with her right hand, like a mess with what was happening in front of her eyes. Margaretha came over to help the Lady stand up.
Of course Mrs Gurnawijaya is dizzy and half dead. Although the entire plan he had with Josh Rainer was a success, he certainly did not expect any other fatigue when he heard the statement from the grandson he had not acknowledged all along.
Statement from Aldebaran, Celine's biological child.
That said he knew me from childhood and proclaimed that I was his soul mate in the live broadcast.
Which of course is a lie.
Meanwhile, Mrs Gurnawijaya himself has previously given the green light for me to be able to approach his favorite grandson, Josh Rainer.
Now, Grandma Josh must be careful with me. He must have been suspicious and questioned my motives that were in the Gurnawijaya family at the moment.
Or did he think I was actually a smuggler who was on Celine's team to spy on him?
Whatever the concern, it's all not true.
I don't know Aldebaran at all and don't care about his bullshit. Point.
Although, I was curious and was questioning Aldebaran's motives.
Why would Aldebaran publish this false information to everyone?
Is this part of another plan devised by Aldebaran and Celine to keep destroying Josh Rainer?
I really don't want to know anymore.
I'mtired.
I'm not part of this family and I shouldn't be further involved in this melee.
I want to move on with my peaceful life with my father and mother beside me.
But it turns out it's not that easy.
I don't think I'll be able to get out of the Gurnawijaya family fast as I expected.
Of course, because now there is him.
Josh Rainer's.
I really want to know him better.
I really want to stay with him.
But I feel unable to get involved in the intrigue going on in this family.
I just want to get away.
And with Josh not being open to me, I kind of lost my faith in him.
Can you give a logical explanation for this Josh?
He still holds me and walks fast. He turned out to take me to a room I had never entered in this house on the second floor.
When the door slammed open, I just found out this must be “ hiding places” Josh Rainer in this house.
Is a music room that blends with the library with bookshelves as high as four meters.
The room is closed without windows that are even equipped with mattresses and bathrooms in it.
In the middle of the room, there are several violins, piano, guitar, drums and standing microphones. Many sound systems and cables are connected to the musical instrument in front of me.
Most importantly, this room is soundproof. So that whatever our conversation will not be heard outside.
And now, he and I are in the middle of this room. Standing in sight with the dim light of the lamp.
“When I said please give me a chance, I was really serious,” he said starting the conversation.
Now he has let go of his hand and speaks sharply with me.
He breathed deeply before starting to speak again.
“However, as my grandmother once said, facing Celine must be with a measurable plan. I really want to get you involved here and make Celine deterred by processing it legally, but I can't do it yet,” she said in earnest.
I still digest everything he says.
“My grandmother and I believe there is an even greater crime that Celine has committed. And that's why we had to make a plan, monitor his movements and then frame him so that he confessed all his crimes,” he assured me.
“If I had talked to you in the first place, you would have refused because I knew you wanted justice. I know Celine has been brutal, almost ruined your career, almost killed me and you alive" he said.
I was still waiting for a further explanation from him while digesting this entire information.
"He deserves to be punished, but if he goes on trial now, I'll never get evidence of another crime he's committed. I know Celine, she won't want to admit another mistake that could add weight to her sentence.”.
“I assure you Celine will be punished according to her deeds. But I'm still looking for evidence to make it really punishable just" he said.
Josh took a breath and continued.
I am incapable of words. This explanation sounds very sincere.
“When I came to my senses from the hospital at the time, I actually had amnesia. You believe that?”
I shook my head.
I think from the beginning Josh was just pretending to be amnesiac. Tricking Doctor Bernard and trying to act in front of everyone to find a way out of the hell Celine created.
“I amnesia. Then you are the one who made my memory recover. You know that?"
Whahuh? How could?
When the operation is completed, Josh Rainer will experience retrograde amnesia for the next 6-8 months. Apparently, he only had a few days of amnesia and recovered because... me?
"It happened when I attacked Celine for the first time in the hospital. You were there trying to observe me. At first I didn't remember anything" he explained.
"However, that moment somehow opened my memory because Celine mentioned your name. Doctor Selena. That's when my memory gradually recovered, but I chose to act so that Celine was off guard,” he explained.
“You healed me. You are my angel, Selena.”
Oh no, why do those words seem so sharp in my heart?
“You didn't just sacrifice your safety to help me from Celine's clutches. You also brought back my memories. If I hadn't met you, maybe Celine would've gotten everything she wanted and we can't talk here right now.“
“How can it?” I still haven't digested all this confusing information.
How could I help him remember himself even though it was our first meeting?
“Because... I remember your name the moment before I had that terrible collision,” he said.
Now her gaze was no longer as sharp and burning as she was fiery when talking about Celine's crimes.
Suddenly his face looked sad.
“I. I don't understand. Why name? We just met for the first time and.,”
Josh is getting closer and embracing both of my hands.
“Because.. I remember someone saying your name when I had an accident back then. I can't describe it, but at that moment it felt so sad,” cut it. “The name was then. somehow ringing in my head.”
I remember back then, Doctor Bernard told me that Josh Rainer was taken to the hospital after a single accident, two days after Dio's life was taken by God. If he was the only one who had an accident, how could he have heard someone else say my name back then?
“I still don't understand what you mean, Josh Rainer,” I said. "Didn't you have a single accident? Why can there be people around you? And why is my name called?"
All these facts are pulling me further into an increasingly uncertain confusion.
“Selena..this is what I'm investigating," now he takes off his hand and looks back sharply at me while folding his chest.
"I suspect.. Celine was behind this too. He was the one who planned this accident. Together with your friend,” said Josh Rainer fiery.
Oh naw.
Those words made me feel like I was struck by lightning and felt like I was going against gravity.
