Dinner this time was delicious.
I even added my plate three times. It felt like I had not been fed while I was on duty at the Gurnawijaya residence the past three weeks.
Especially, the sense of pleasure increased tens of times because I re-assembled with the people who were important to me.
My family's. And myfriends.
In the middle of dinner, I told them everything I had experienced. Except for the personal things that happened between me and Josh Rainer and Aldebaran.
I saved all the sweet stories with Josh Rainer that happened over the last three weeks for my own consumption.
Of course, I also kept it a secret how Aldebaran was very keen to marry me since our first reunion.
They heard my story carefully, but didn't seem too surprised. Looks like Josh Rainer has explained a little to Anna before. Aldebaran also seemed to have told my parents about what happened.
After the meal, Anna, Gery and I cleaned the table and washed the dishes in the kitchen.
When I saw that the two of them were very close and joking while sorting the dishes clean, I decided to move away and give them space to be together.
At least, out of all the cases that have happened to me, there is still something that makes me happy.
Seeing my two best friends begin to exchange feelings.
For some reason, this fact makes me very happy and seems to be a solace from all my fatigue.
When my mother saw me, she took me. We walked side by side to the gazebo behind Anna's villa.
I was wearing Gery's wool jacket that he gave me after eating. Yes, the weather here becomes very cold because it is getting night and there is no heating in the gazebo.
I then sat alone with my mother in the gazebo seat, which showed me the beautiful view of the night from the top of the hill.
“Son, I was shocked half to death to see you faint when you got here," she said glazed over.
I hugged him again.
"But I was even more shocked to find out that the one who brought you here and helped you to escape danger was Ale.. Ale my son.” mother's voice choked when saying it.
As expected, mother must have been shaken, moved and happy at once when she saw Ale return to her eyes.
“He grew up to be a beautiful, polite and very mature child. I really didn't expect Ale to come back. I think..social status has changed her, but she instead says she misses us a lot and has been trying to find us for years,”.
Mother then told me that Ale carried me and immediately took me to the empty room that was still left in this villa for me to rest.
Mom said she had asked for a minute in my room, which I thought she was doing to write me a letter.
And... Was he changing my clothes when I fell asleep?
I dare not ask my mother that. My face will definitely turn into a boiled crab out of embarrassment.
And I really wish he hadn't done anything that far to me.
Afterwards, he went downstairs and welcomed back my mother and father.
My mom said that Ale had cried and even kissed my mom's feet.
The same thing he did at their first meeting. She got a pardon from mom after she tried to snatch mom's bag back then.
Up until here, I felt Ale really meant all the words in his letter to me.
Ale was sincere and wanted to protect me.
Which makes my heart flutter, worried about the taste I'm experiencing.
Ale also told me that after two months he returned to the Gurnawijaya family home, Ale bribed the guards to come back to our house first.
He took some time because many times he was not allowed to go out by his mother because the rules at home were very strict. His mother was afraid Ale ran away from his supervision and was very selective in choosing a social environment for her only child.
However, by the time he managed to return to our house, there had been another family occupying our house.
Ale couldn't find us anymore then.
Ale was devastated.
With close supervision from his family, he tried to keep gathering information about where we were going.
He tried to go to my father's old school, question the homeroom teacher at my school to check on the students taught by my mother. All of them gave me brief information, that we moved house because my father moved to work.
It seems, no one takes seriously the curiosity of young Aldebaran when he was 10 years old at that time.
What made Ale even more sad, when he entered Junior High, his mother decided that he should continue his school in America.
Ale took the time to go home during the school holidays and tried to keep looking for us.
However, he regretted not knowing much about the long name of my father and mother so it was difficult to trace our footsteps.
She only knew I was named Selena Ariadna and as it turned out, my name was not rare. Many have similar names in Jakarta and at that time, there was no power to Google that could find out accurate information. Moreover, she started to get busy with all her schoolwork when she returned to Indonesia.
Ale then spent a lot of time abroad. After completing his undergraduate studies in America, he moved to England to complete his master's degree.
Back then, he always came home during school holidays and major holidays, but no longer tried to find us.
He gave up on finding me and my family.
He was then busy with his world, which is preparing to enter the management of Gurnawijaya business executives while continuing his hobby. A new hobby that he liked after becoming the young master of Gurnawijaya.
Riding.
And with a series of achievements at his disposal, Ale was chosen to be a contingent member for equestrian sports at the Olympics which will also be held in England. He hopes to make the name of Indonesia by getting a medal later.
While riding with other contingents in England, he was shocked when he heard his brother had an accident and decided to return to Indonesia.
And he was even more shocked when he heard the name of the doctor who took care of his brother who had amnesia was me.
Selena Ariadna's.
He then found out about me and it turned out that I was the person he had been looking for a long time ago.
And after that, he immediately wanted to see me and bring her home, to meet my father and mother.
Because that's the greatest hope ever. Get together again with the four of you.
I finished the story with a happy eye.
He was very proud of the achievement of Aldebaran, the son he once raised and never forgot him.
I myself feel overwhelmed too.
However, there is still considerable doubt to trust Aldebaran.
He is Celine's son.
And she's Becca's boyfriend.
Is it true that everything that comes out of his mouth can be trusted?
Did he really love me without any motive?
As I struggled with my doubts, Mom grabbed my hand.
“Son, I know this is too soon for you. But, mom and dad would be so happy if Ale could be part of our whole family" she said, keeping my heart racing.
What does mother mean?
He then continued his words, which made my hair stand up.
"We are very happy to see you happy with Ale in the marriage bond.”
