THE TORTURED WIFE
Generation 2: Part 21

Almira escapes from Mahira's house, although Lara tries to prevent her from leaving. He walked by the side of the road dragging the suitcase in his hand. Almira is sad because she has not explained everything to Mahira. Everything happened so quickly, Almira had to accept her brother's anger. He's sitting on a sidewalk chair. The rain poured down his body until it got wet. Almira was silent. Suddenly a car stopped in front of him. Someone got out of the car, he was carrying an umbrella over Almira's body with the umbrella.

"Almira why are you raining?" ask Chaiden.

Almira looked up, Chaiden's face clearly visible.

"I ..," said Almira hesitantly.

"Yes, we went to the car first" said Chaiden.

Almira gets into Chaiden's car. In the car, Chaiden gave her a towel to dry her soaked body.

"I'll take you home" said Chaiden.

"I can't go home" replied Almira.

"Why?" ask Chaiden.

Eventually Almira tells Chaiden everything, including Mr.X who has recently been disrupting Mahira's life.

"So the one who's always terrorizing Mahira is Mr.X?" ask Chaiden.

"Yes, all this time I deliberately did not tell Kak Mahira that I actually believe that Mr.X exists. It's just that I don't want Mahira to get any more scared. Every time Mr.X sends me stuff to terrorize Kak Mahira, I try to accept it and not give it to my sister, I keep it in my room while I find out who Mr.X really is" Almira said.

"I've heard that story a lot from Mahira, I think it's only because of her guilt for her Papa, I didn't think Mr.X had come this far" Chaiden said.

"So Mahira misunderstood me, she thought I was Mr. X because she found all the evidence in my room, plus, she knew that me and you ..," Almira said.

"What are you and me?" ask Chaiden.

"Chaiden, I'm .. I'm Jodi" Almira replied.

Chaiden is shocked when Almira says that she is Jodi. The man he had been looking for for years.

"You're Jodi? why didn't you tell me? why are you covering everything up? you know I'm looking for you?" Chaiden was angry while holding onto both of Almira's arms.

"Yes, I'm Jodi, I can't tell you because Kak Mahira loves you so much, how should I tell you, I don't want to be among you" Almira said.

Chaiden took his hand off Almira's arm, he hit the steering wheel of his car.

"Chaiden I'm sorry, since our last meeting, my father and my mother died, I was down, living on the street and meeting Papa Alex, he took me to his house and raised me as his son, Mama Lara, Havara and Kak Mahira, they both love me like their own family, my name was changed Almira after officially becoming a member in the Aliando family, when I found out you were Kak Mahira's future husband, I did not reveal my identity, I did not reveal my identity, all I do is because I want Kak Mahira to be happy" Almira said.

"You know Jodi, my heart broke when you left, I never even held a basketball again, because for me it was you. I also went to the place we used to visit, I thought it could reduce my longing" Chaiden said.

Almira just cried. His heart's jumbled.

"Now we go to my house first, your clothes are wet" Chaiden asked.

Almira was silent. He only thinks about his brother. It was heavy when her brother hated her. All this time they were so close to each other.

Chaiden drove his car to his house. Almira looked glum all the way. He kept shedding his tears.

Arriving at Chaiden's house, Almira gets out of the car, Chaiden invites her into the house. Rika's mother welcomes them, and Chaiden asks her mother for permission so that Almira can stay for a while at her home.

"Yes, you take Almira to the guest room, let Bi Nana deliver ginger milk to Almira," said Rika's mother.

"Yes Ma'am" replied Chaiden.

"Thank you Rika" said Almira.

"Same-sama son," said Ms. Rika.

"What is Almira here for?" ask Sisi.

"She's going to stay in this house for a while" Chaiden replied.

"What is this house shelter?" ketus Side.

"By your side, Almira is Mahira's sister, so you have to respect her" Chaiden said.

"Yesterday her brother, now her sister, does she like you too?" sideline Sisi.

"Side!" peekit Chaiden's.

"Chaiden, I better find a hotel" Almira said.

"No, come with me" Chaiden asked.

Chaiden pulls Almira's suitcase, takes her into the guest room. Only Sisi, who looks good, sees Chaiden taking Almira home.

***

That morning Chaiden and Almira were playing basketball in the yard. They look familiar after a long time apart. As usual, Chaiden never relented while playing basketball with Almira. He continues to lead.

"Chaiden, you're still the way you used to be" Almira said.

"You're like you used to be, you lost to me, too" Chaiden replied.

"I won't lose this time" Almira said.

Almira tried to snatch the ball from Chaiden's hands, they fought each other, suddenly Sisi entered and came into play. He deliberately pushed Almira while playing basketball.

"Why is Sisi acting like that?" Almira felt strange with Sisi's attitude that prevented him from playing with Chaiden.

Almira returned to play but when he managed to take the ball from Sisi's hand, Sisi suddenly pretended to fall to his knees beret.

"Side" said Chaiden.

"Sick Brother," said the spoiled Sisi.

Chaiden immediately carried Sisi to his room. He laid Sisi on the bed, Almira followed them all the way to the front door. He saw Chaiden was treating the beret at Sisi's feet. Sisi's attitude looks spoiled, even he does not want Chaiden to leave, Sisi asked Chaiden to stay with him.

"Why does Sisi's attitude look for attention to Chaiden? is this normal for a grown sister to be hugged and accompanied by her older brother?" Almira.

Almira accidentally knocks on Sisi's bedroom door.

Geck!poke!poke!

"Come on Almira" said Chaiden, who was sitting on the bed accompanying Sisi.

Almira ventured in. He looked at Sisi's room filled with photos of Chaiden. As Almira approached, Sisi directly leaned his head on Chaiden's shoulder. Sontak Almira feels Sisi is excessive, and deliberately makes him to think Chaiden is his.

"This child, her attitude is not like a sister to her brother," Inner Almira.

"What side are your legs? does it still hurt?" ask Almira.

"Let's remember, Almira, I'm fine, I know you accidentally pushed me" Sisi said.

"What's? she blame? obviously he dropped himself, is something wrong with this kid?" inner Almira.

Almira felt something strange about Sisi's attitude. He looks protective of Chaiden, like someone who's afraid of losing. Though Almira only play basketball, but his attitude as if he does not want Chaiden close to Almira.
