Mr. Alexander's Wife
Chapter 7
Nisha can't wait to hear Lucas's explanation of what happened that night, but Lucas seems to be stalling. The man chose to enjoy a cup of cofelatte that had been served by waiters. As much as possible Nisha tried to remain patient, although it felt like she wanted to scream in Lucas' ear to tell a story immediately.
"Actually I'm not sure if Alex was killed at the time. But .... " Las paused his speech while sipping his cofelatte again
"But what?" Nisha asked curiously.
"But he didn't come back. There are only two possibilities. The first he died and the second he was captured by the enemy and taken prisoner. But until now no enemy has asked to make up for it. It's very likely that Alex is dead" Lucas said.
Nisha who was serious about listening to Lucas' story immediately brushed it off. "I don't believe your story! Alexander was not a weak man who could die quickly. You must be hiding the truth. I know you're lying! Alexander is not dead! He's alive!" nisha.
Lucas laughed softly with the persistence of the woman who had not believed long ago that Alexander had died.
"But I'm not lying, Nisha! I said what I knew," Lucas explained.
I don't know why Nisha couldn't believe the man in front of her. And his feelings keep saying that Lucas found out about Alexander's disappearance. However, in fact it is not easy to reveal the existence that exists.
"Lucas ... Please be honest! Alasha is in desperate need of Alexander. Lucas ... please! For Alsha!" Nisha is very fond of him, hoping Lucas can be frank with him.
Although Lucas was a notoriously cruel man, but that did not apply to a woman as well as a child, he said, because Lucas himself also has a family and currently Lucas' son is still around three years old. A long breath sounded heavy.
His chest thumped strongly as Lucas told him Alexander was alive. "But what?!" nisha was impatient again.
"But ..the enemy took him away. That night Alex came to me for help and briefed me with Alex making a deal where I sent Alex to go to a place to make an illegal transaction. However, unfortunately in the middle of the journey a Muslim has followed Alex and took him away somewhere. You're right, if Alex wasn't a weakling who could die so easily." Lucas paused his explanation while sipping coffee in his cup.
"And ... do you know what happens next? Yes..of course Alex can successfully rebel and get out of the car. However, unfortunately when Alex got out of the car he did not look back and .. a truck from behind grabbed his body until mentally far away. Nisha, forgive me for hiding this truth from you. I as a friend was completely useless. When my friend came for help, but I gave him a deal instead. If you knew this story from the beginning, I'm sure you wouldn't want to accept my help." Lucas feels very guilty for Nisha for singing the truth about what happened to Alexander during these 6 years.
"Then what happened to Alexander why there was no news of him after that. Didn't you say that Alexander was still alive. Where did Alexander go?" Nisha's eyes glazed over. He could not imagine the pain that Alexander was going through back then.
"Because I told my men to close all those cases. When I saw that Alex was alive, I took him overseas to save his life. Although Alex can still breathe but not with some of his organs that are not functioning due to the accident. I'm also looking for a specialist to get Alex to heal as usual. But I chose the wrong doctor. The doctor I picked turned out to be Alex's ex-girlfriend back in college. And unbeknownst to me he took Alex away. After that I don't know where Alex is."
Nisha's chest felt very claustrophobic with the real story. Why is it only now that Nisha is leading the real story. If Nisha doesn't force Lucas to be honest, maybe Nisha won't know the real story.
"I'm sure he's Alexander!" lirih Nisha slowly.
"Him? She who?" asked Lucas curiously.
