THE ALEXIS
EXPLANATIONS

Amidst pressure from all his friends, Adit can still be calm. He leaned on his body, his hands resting on his thighs, then looked at his companions one by one.

“OK, but I'd like to ask you earlier. Where have you been eavesdropping on our conversation?“ ask Adit.

“Since you said Khiara should have had a caesarean section.“ Krishna answered him now. Adit nodded his head, meaning they did not know of the rape that befell Khiara.

“Alright then, I will tell you about it but I ask you to prepare to accept the bitter reality that will slap you all,” Adit said firmly.

“Tell me!“ pinta Endra with a tone that is still so relaxed and calm.

“OK,” Adit replies while staring at those in front of him in turn. “Khiara has experienced a ... rape,” Adit said with emphasis at the end of his sentence.

All the eyes that were staring at him had now been smashed just like that, even they straightened up their bodies. The shock was vividly painted on every face of his companions.

“You're kidding?“ ask Krishna.

“Si B*rengs*ek that has done it?“ Now that Artha was speaking, she even stood up and wanted to find Alex to beat him up.

“Sit, Tha!“ adit's orders are firm. He hadn't finished telling the truth, but this fellow had already reacted.

“Can't, I'll finish him off. How dare he do that b*ej*at thing to Khiara!“ maki Artha with emotions raging inside her chest.

“I said sit!“ Now Adit's tone has been very loud and indisputable. Endra pulled Artha's hand and told her to sit down. With a heavy heart, Artha sat back in her chair.

“How can it?“ ask Endra who's hard to believe.

For her Khiara is a strong woman who has incredible shooting skills that Khiara should be able to use to protect herself. But Endra forgot, even the athletes shoot but Khiara is still a civilian who is not allowed to carry weapons in any place.

“If you ask me what the details are, then I can't explain them. Only Khiara and Alex can answer that, because they are at the scene of the crime.“ Just now Adit wanted to continue the story, but Artha had already cut it back.

“Allowed, he did it!“ Again Artha intends to stand with a huffed attitude. And Endra pulled him back from doing anything stupid before they learned of the continuation of the story.

“If you can't keep quiet, then I won't continue the story. And please speculate yourself with your understanding.“ Adit looks upset now. He dislikes Artha's attitude, which always cuts her off.

“Be quiet Tha! We listen to everything until it's done.“ Krisna was also a little upset with Artha who could not be invited to cooperate. “Continue!“ the door to Adit. Although with a heavy heart because of holding back emotions, Artha was finally able to return conditioned.

“Alright,” Adit said as he stared intently at Artha, as if warning. “Khiara did give birth to Alex's child, but it wasn't Alex who raped her.“

“How can it?“ ask Krishna

“Then who if not him?“ Endra asked at the same time.

“Alex said that the culprit was one of our schoolmates. And how did Khiara conceive Alex's child? Because Khiara herself asked Alex to touch her. Khiara asked Alex to remove the rape marks from her body,” explained Adit at length.

“And do you believe what he said?“ Now Artha scoffs at Adit for easily believing in that person.

“Ya.“

“Because there was a match of his confession and what Khiara told me four years ago.“

“Four years ago??“ The three of them almost shouted at the same time.

“Ya.“

“The child should not..“ Krishna hung up his sentence.

“Yes, have you not noticed any resemblance between Kaiven and Alex?“ Adit asked them.

The three men bowed in lethargy. They slammed their backs into the back of the sofa. Adit could see the bitterness so clearly read in the face of his friends.

“We have to give it guys. Khiara already belongs to someone else.“ Adit tries to wake his friends from their feelings.

“Wait! If Alex has already impregnated Khiara, then why doesn't she recognize Alex?“ ask Endra who is still confused by the facts. “Khiara of course know photos of lovers Shasha.“

“Khiara does know the look of Shasha's lover, but she doesn't know the face of the man who has impregnated her.“ They all knit their eyebrows.

“Because at that time Khiara lost her lens contact. He once said that he was helped by someone he himself could not see his face. Even he cursed his eyes minus who could not see who his guardian angel was.“ Endra nodded his head in understanding.

“What does Khiara love him?“ Now it was Krishna who started to reopen his voice after recovering from the big hammer blow that had just hit him.

Krishna will tell Khiara if she loves him. If yes, then there is no hope for them. Moreover, there was already a child between Alexander and Khiara.

“Until now there is only one person who meets the recesses of his heart, he is his savior angel,” Adit replied.

“But ... why isn't Khiara with him if he loves her?“ ask Endra again. Here somehow Artha became a loyal listener. He speaks a thousand languages.

“Because Khiara thought that Alex had left her ... He's been waiting for Alex for almost a month in the penthouse Alex hired for Khiara. But men seem to disappear from his life, there is no news from him,” explained Adit based on what was told by Khiara four years ago.

“So that guy dumped her, huh?“ Artha finally opened her voice. There was a scornful tone heard in his voice. He scoffs at Alex who has left Khiara and of course scoffs at Adit who looks so close and impressed like defending Alex.

A bitter laugh fell on Adit's lips because he heard Artha's slurs. He looked at his best friend who looked still fierce to him with nanar.

“Haha ... if only the man had dumped him, eating would have been easy for Khiara to forget.“ Adit's face turned sad.

It was thrilling when she who loved Khiara even knew how much she loved another man. And it's even more sad to know that the man Khiara loves is just as much in love with Khiara. It may even be greater than his love for Khiara.

“If he doesn't dump Khiara, then why did he leave Khiara? Is there a more logical reason why you and Khiara believe that she didn't dump Khiara back then?“ Now Krishna asked.
