ROMANCE DOWN BED
Alesha Zahra's

While in a luxurious house owned by the family Prapto Suherman, a middle-aged man was looking at a portrait of two girls who were very small at the time, aged about 3 years and 2 years, they both look twin because both are wearing the same clothes, namely polkadot motif.

The man commonly called Mr. Prapto was smiling at the portrait, "You where is Nduk now? Surely you are now an adult, already eighteen years you went missing, hopefully there are still good people who take care of you, sorry Papa can not take care of you well, if only you were still with us, Papa would be so happy to see you two grow up, you and your sister, Lita." Prapto was seen shedding tears from the corner of his eyes, for a moment the man recalled his first daughter who went missing while they were away at the night market. The first daughter of the couple Prapto Suherman and Isti Pratiwi suddenly disappeared while they were busy playing rides, and until now their daughter named Alesha Zahra has not been known about the news.

Until finally the sound of the door being slammed, for a moment Prapto kept the portrait back in a book. Then he approached his daughter who had just returned home with a sullen face.

"Well Papa's son why? Kok back and forth angry gini." he asked Lita who looked pursed her lips.

"Lita is sad, Pa! Lita is very sick." he said while hugging the father with haru.

"Why indeed? Who hurt you? Tell me Papa?" Prapto looked serious listening to the complaints of the child, seeing his daughter grieving, Prapto would not let the sadness in his face was left to linger.

"Mas Martin, Pa! Mas Martin has betrayed Lita," said Lita while crying sobbing.

"What's? Martin! How could she do that to you, didn't she promise to marry you when you got home from LA?" ask Prapto curious. Lita nodded and said everything to the father.

"Yes Pa! Mas Martin was already married to his former brother-in-law, the village girl who came from the orphanage, Lita really hated them, how could Mas Martin do that to Lita, Papa look! Lita less what try? Nothing compared to that woman, Lita is more beautiful, Lita is more learned and Lita is more everything compared to that woman. But, why did Mas Martin even approve of the marriage, on the grounds that because of the will of Mas Panji, Lita did not accept, Pa! Anyway Papa must do something, let Mas Martin kapok." whine the child to the Man who has the highest power in cooperation with the Nugroho family.

"Yes .. yes .. You take it easy, Papa will do something, now you are satisfied, right! Well, don't be sad anymore, Papa won't see you sad."

"Thank you very much, Pa! Papa is really good, Lita loves Papa" said Lita while hugging the Father. Not long after Isti, the mother came to approach the two. Isti was seen putting warm tea on the table for her husband.

"Lita! You why? Weeping, huh?" Isti asked while sitting on a chair in front of them.

"Lita really sprained Ma today, anyway Lita want Papa just decided to cooperate with the family Mas Martin, Lita wanted to see Mas Martin's business went out of business and saw them suffer, Lita, I want to see Mas Martin abandoned by that girl, let him feel this heartache, I really hate them." Lita said with a loud tone. The mother tried to calm her daughter.

"Mom knows not, anyway! Mas Martin broke off the relationship when Lita was in LA, it turns out that Mas Martin was married to the widow of Mas Panji, the poor girl, Ma! How not to try!" the princess' statement made Isti smile.

"Alright, Son! Maybe you two haven't been a match, a lot of couples have been dating for years but their relationship ran aground just because of trivial problems, as well as you and Martin, maybe Martin is not your soul mate, he said, and you have to be able to accept the reality, the most important thing is that you and Martin have not yet committed adultery, yes! sincerely he." said Isti trying to cool Lita's heart. However, apparently Lita still insisted on avenging her heartache to Martin and Aira.

"No way, Mom! Lita can't be like that, Mas Martin and Aira have to accept the consequences, and Lita wants to see Mas Martin suffer, it's just that Lita can be satisfied" said Lita while moving to her room. Meanwhile Prapto and Isti looked at each other.

"From the time Lita was a little harsh, very different from Alesha, she was more calm and always gave up on her sister, somehow now? Surely now she's as big as Lita, they're only a year old, sometimes Mama really misses the presence of our first daughter, Pa!" She looked on the husband's shoulder.

"Hopefully one day we can find our Princess safely, so that we can regroup together." comforted Prapto to his wife.

"Oh yeah, Pa! Are there no more clues to Alesha's whereabouts? However, she must not be far from the market place that night, surely the surrounding community found it easily," asked Isti while looking at her husband's face.

"Pop used to tell Papa, there were people who had seen Alesha being carried by a woman, they said the woman was not from the village where they lived, it seemed like the woman was taking Alesha away, but they say that if Alesha looks smiling when she's being held by the woman, so the locals don't suspect that she's carrying our child, they think Alesha's the child." prapto recalled reporting to the police.

"So, Alesha was taken by a woman? Oh God! Let's hope our daughter takes good care of her, because Mama believes that Alesha must be okay, because Mama dreamed after the incident, Alesha looks happy and as if she was willing to learn, and she wants to learn, and someday she'll be home, Mama's so sure, Pa! Alesha will definitely return home, even though she has forgotten the faces of her Father and Mother who gave birth to her." Isti, the mother looks so sad when she remembers her two cute daughters, until finally they separated when going to the night market, Alesha separated from the supervision of Isti and Prapto.

"Hopefully, Ma!" Prapto commented on the smiles on his lips, the two couples who are not young anymore, hoping that someday, they will meet the beloved princess.

While in another place, Aira who was at that time was putting a safety pin on her hijab, suddenly her hand was pierced by the needle and bleeding. He sucked his bloody finger so that his blood would not come out too much.

"Astaghfiullah! How can I stab, I'm not careful" he said while looking at his finger.
