With the Man of My Dreams
Chapter 5
Not felt, time has passed. A month ago.
Tonight, the couple, who had just been officially a month, stood together at the end of their balcony staring at the dark night sky, the weather was cloudy.
“Do you think the decision you made was very correct?”
The question from Alexios' mouth made Ocha come to his senses from the silence of the night. He looks. She looked at the man who had become her husband.
“Yes. And you are the right person.”
“What's the reason?” ask the man again. This time, his brows folded inwards, furrowing displaying a puzzled look.
Ocha smiled calmly, “That's none of your business. It's not very important. But one thing is for sure, one day you will understand.” The answer.
And silence returned.
****
It was not felt, time was so fast. Morning to night does not feel like changing quickly.
As time went on, Ocha became accustomed to living with a foreign man she named Alexius. They're getting familiar. Three years of staying one roof has been able to eliminate a little awkwardness that exists.
“This time, what do you remember Al?” ask Ocha.
In addition to looking for evidence together, Ocha begins to help Alexios to dig up the memory of the man who also has not fully returned. Although it has been going on for a long time, but the man always felt pain when he would remember the incident three years ago.
And also, Adriana who is very difficult to dig up the information. And when asked, how did the two of them survive? The answer is because they work. To build your own business, both.
“It's hard to remember Cha. That was a very complicated incident I understand. Don't you know at least the beginning of the accident happened?” ask the man back. Ocha shakes.
“Yah. Then we should how?” Really, very often Ocha almost gives up out of frustration. It turns out this case is complicated. And about the person who was asked to help Ocha, he had moved with his extended family and tried to explain what had happened.
Ocha saw Alexius closed and then opened his eyes again.
Seen sparkling look, “I remember a little.” Hearing that sentence, Ocha immediately smiled in satisfaction.
“Mention.” his word sparkles.
“The crimson-colored Honda Civic stopped next to a large white truck transporting snacks. Then, the car drove in the back of my car with the truck. Not long after, the car stopped on a quiet roadside, while the truck stayed behind me at a rapid pace. And while at the traffic lights, the truck deliberately even increase the speed of the truck instead of even reducing when it is clear the color of the lights has turned red.” Alexius growled in pain for a moment. Ocha stroked her shoulders gently to calm down. “After that, the truck hit many innocent cars in front of it including me and my car. Up next.... Ah I don't remember, it hurt.” Reciprocity.
Ocha fell silent, her hands incessantly stroking her husband's shoulders.
Her eyes closed, holding her husband's shoulder after the man told her and closed his eyes again. Before long, Ocha's eyes were open and completely white, she would remember and dig information through her husband's shoulders. And the energy he used would definitely be a lot.
Brak!
Pyaar!
Bruk!
Citt ....
“Aibi!” Ocha's screams made the people around him sob. The successive collisions that also caused his beloved person to get stuck in it.
The impact of one large truck that resulted in several cars bouncing including other vehicles and also several humans who suffered injuries. And, Aunt Aika was one of the women who joined the list of victims. Unfortunately, he was killed at that very spot.
Ocha crying. He's sobbing hard. He was still in shock, unable to accept what he had just experienced.
His steps led him to approach the body of the aunt who had been crushed by bouncing far away. His hands clenched, hugging Bi Aika's blood-filled body. I hold dear the victim's head. Then his head looked up at the sky.
“Why did you take his life, Lord?! Why should you take the only human I have in this world?!” his screams were full of emotion.
His eyes cannot lie. She continued to hold tightly to her aunt's body, not caring that she was covered in blood.
Her body was pulled by the hospital attendant who was transporting the crash victim, and with her eyes on the head, she saw Aunt Aika's body put in the ambulance.
Memory shortcuts were just the point that Ocha remembered at the time of the incident. He let go of his hand on the husband's shoulder.
“What's up? You remember?” Ask Alexius. Ocha shakes. Of course it was the headband that answered her husband's question. If only Ocha could have taken a deeper look at the incident, she wouldn't be Alexios' current wife.
In Ocha's memory, as if something was in the way, Ocha himself did not know how to remove the barrier. Ocha wants, his life can be calm and no longer get disturbed, the threat of the cruel Adriana.

“Can I ask you?” Ask Alexius. Oh yes, just wanted to tell Ocha, Alexius is a typical man who likes to ask questions. His face was firm but his gaze was very innocent.
Ocha nodded, “Of course. Ask.” Answer Ocha.
“Why did you give me the name Alexius? And why only Alexius without complement?” Ask.
Goody. That's a good question. It was time for Ocha to explain to her husband.
“Because I like.” Answer is short first. The look on Ocha's face changed when she saw her husband's puzzled look that seemed to be guessing an appropriate answer.
“Ck. That's not what I want. Tell me.” The man's word is absolute. Ocha sighed and smiled.
“Alexius has a very good meaning. According to numerology studies, the name "Alexius" has the personality of the Initiator, pioneer, leader, free, hardworking, individualist. And also..”.
“Also what?” Alexius.
“You look like a man in my childhood. The man who was my first friend at the time. Therefore, I gave you the name Alexius, the same name as ‘Al’ my childhood friend. My favorite man first.”
For some reason, Alexios' face changed like a boiled crab. Red once, even to the point that his ears look red. Ocha who saw him was not worried because she knew, her husband is salting.
“You're so funny. Big body, but heart like a cute Hello Kitty doll. Hahaha.” joke Ocha while laughing at the end of his sentence.
The more red Alexios became.

The moon and stars appear in the middle of the night. The cold breeze did not make the two people who had been on the balcony since afternoon moved out of place.
After the event asked and answered about the name Alexius, the two fell silent enjoying the sunset in the twilight sky. Until tonight the sky looks bright, the faces of both are very calm.
“Ocha..” Get Alexius. Ocha just stir.
“What is your real home? But, why did you first invite me here, no one knows you?” ask Alexius. Ocha glanced at the man.
“Not. I bought this house three years ago. Right after the accident happened, through the money from the sale of my family's old house to buy and support me all this time. And of course the neighbors don't know me, because I'm new.” Evidently. Alexius nodded in understanding.
“Then, what has your connection to the perpetrator of the accident?” ask Alexios again.
Ocha smiled briefly, “That guy that ruined my life in a row. In the past, my parents left because of that man. And now, the person closest to me left too because of that person.”
“Where did you know the perpetrator was the same person who lost you to your parents?”
“Because at that time, I was helped by someone who also lost his family over the consecutive accidents that occurred. That guy helped me to just find the identity of the perpetrator. And well, he is the same person who second time destroyed my life sadistically.”
Alexius is sorry.
“I'll be your friend. You should not hesitate and fear losing someone again in your life.” Alexios said suddenly.
Ocha smiled wryly, “How after you found out and remembered all about yourself and your life, you left me?”
Alexius stunned, “Emm.. That..”
