The Undying Past
PART 22 ~ HOW IS NAZALEYA ?

True conjecture Keiko, not long after Aleya finally followed her daughter. The young lady half ran into the main door of her adoptive parents house. At a glance he saw a foreign car parked neatly and a foreign man was conversing with security. Aleya simply furrowed an eyebrow for a moment then flicked her shoulders. It is not the business of anyone who visits the house.

"Assalamualaikum," It had become a habit of Aleya before entering the house first to greet.

"Waalaikumsalam," Kompak Akihiro and Emir's grandfather. The voice of two men did not attract Aleya because she had guessed that her adoptive father was receiving guests.

Aleya continued to walk over to the papa and kissed the back of her hand. And the voice of the papa's guest who mentioned his name surprised him greatly.

"How are you doing Nazaleya ?!" Deep and authoritatively caught clearly by Aleya's sense of hearing left her speechless for a while.

Duaarrrrr

Aleya was like a lightning bolt in broad daylight as her gaze caught the figure of the middle-aged man who had once been her boss. Moreover, the middle-aged man is the grandfather of the man who is the biological father of his little daughter. Aleya tried to act ordinary and turned to greet the middle-aged man.

"Alhamdulillah healthy sir. You are healthy yourself, right ? Long time no see," Aleya was too good at acting. His tone sounded normal and his face looked normal.

But it is not the Emir's grandfather's name if he cannot catch the shock and unease of the clear eyes of the young woman before him. This means that Aleya is not worth the experience of life of an Emir, the former ruler of a large and respected company in the business world.

"The world turns out to be just as wide as a moringa leaf, we are finally reunited." The tone of the voice of the man who was highly respected by Aleya sounded gentle yet laden with meaning.

Did the Emir already know the whereabouts of Celya ? It's impossible, it's all just a coincidence. Aleya rejected the conjecture that had filled her brain.

"Hehehe, yes sir. I resigned because I wanted to come back here and spend time with my family. In Indonesia there are no more families that we have," Aleya does not have family in her homeland but that is not the main reason she returned to Japan.

"Not because it avoids someone ?!" This time the Emir's grandfather looked at Aleya intensely. The middle-aged man did not want to miss the slightest change in Aleya's face.

"I mean ?!" Aware of his interlocutor's gaze and not wanting to be trapped, Aleya asked back with a confused face.

The Emir's grandfather secretly admired Aleya's self-mastery. Although still young but the ingenuity of women in front of him can not be taken lightly.

"Don't mean anything, grandpa just guessed. Oh yes, in the future don't call my father but just call my grandfather," Grandpa Emir decided not to continue his question.

For a while let Aleya assume she knows nothing. Most importantly, the future grandchildren of his son-in-law and great-grandchildren are in a safe place. While thinking of ways to get them married and his great-grandson has a whole family.

"I'm happy to see Celya and Mama" Aleya feels uncomfortable being between her foster father and the grandfather of her daughter's biological father.

After being convinced Aleya disappeared from their sight, Akihiro stood up and sat down beside her best friend. This time Akihiro's face was very serious.

"What's true you said just now ?!" Akihiro half whispered. He doesn't want anyone to hear it.

Slowly the Emir's grandfather took out a photo of Najib from his wallet and showed it to Akihiro. Childhood photo of Najib with his parents.

"Consider carefully and compare with the little girl, if the two have a little resemblance we can say just a coincidence, but if their faces like a betel are halved then it must be questioned. Although it is said that in this world we have seven twins scattered throughout the world but the existence of Celya is excluded. Aleya and Najib have had a relationship in the past and it can't be ignored." Grandfather Emir looked at his best friend with a tera, or serious face. He needs the support of his best friend to unite Aleya and Najib.

"What should I do ? I can't possibly force Aleya to admit everything, what if my son runs away ?" Akihiro loved Aleya as much as her own biological child. He did not want to lose his daughter and granddaughter. Although Aleya was not born from his wife's womb, Aleya's presence gave her its own color in her family's life.

"For a while let it be like this is what matters Aleya and her daughter go nowhere. We'll meet with Najib."

"All right, it's up to you. I will support whatever you will do as long as it doesn't harm my daughter."

"Of course, I will not be able to harm or harm my grand-daughter-in-law, either" Grandfather Emir chuckled with his own words. There was no agreement from Aleya yet but she had already claimed Aleya as her daughter-in-law's granddaughter.

Not wanting to be suspected, the two men shifted the subject. And don't forget Emir's grandfather sent a message to Najib to go to Japan immediately because there is something that must be resolved.

While inside the room, Aleya hugged her daughter tightly as if afraid of loss. Keiko who was lying down immediately sat down to look at her brother.

"So why ? It's only been two hours that I've brought Celya, too" Keiko grumbled at the action of her sister. The girl did not know the current state of Aleya's heart that was scared to death.

"Eat him next time don't take Celya away from me. You know that Celya is my life" Unknowingly, Aleya's tears are now drenching her cheeks.

"But it's not like that either, brother. Look at your tears to the end. Like a waterfall." Keiko giggled amusedly to see how her older sister was. In Keiko's eyes, Aleya was very unreasonable. Only a few hours apart from her daughter Aleya knew that the one who brought her was her own sister and could not harm her own body.

"You don't know what I'm worried about" Aleya wiped off her tears and returned a sweet smile to her daughter.

Keiko just took a deep breath. He would never win against Aleya. Her brother was too good at arguing and seemed to never run out of words to reply to her. I don't know where the vocabulary his brother has.

Aleya no longer cared about Keiko's whereabouts. He was too tired all day to mix spices. Realizing she had not cleaned after a day of struggling with various spices, Aleya immediately let go of her embrace and hurried to the bathroom before Celea raised her protest.
