the truth?

Lexi had already left for the airport early in the morning. While Jessica, who did not have a busy life, chose to help the maid cooked in the kitchen.

She didn’t do much, cutting vegetables was the thing she liked the most.

“Jessica,” Mrs. Anna called. She often told her daughter-in-law that she didn’t have to cook in the kitchen.

“Yes, mom,” Jessica said. She turned her attention away from the vegetable hse was cutting, and looked at the mother-in-law walking towards her.

“This morning I want to go for a food menu tester for tomorrow’s event, in the afternoon I will come back home and we are going to the boutique to choose the dress you will wear at tomorrow’s event! So, you can rest this morning. I don’t want you to get tired, understand?” Mrs. Anna ordered.

“Yes mom, is it okay Chelsea come here this morning, right Mom? I’m lonely when I’m alone in my room. I need a friend, and Chelsea is my only friend.” Hearing Mrs. Anna wanted to leave this as an opportunity for Jessica to have a talk with Chelsea. She wanted to ask her best friend to find out about the strange thing from Secretary Arsene’s message to her husband.

“Yes, it’s okay! The important thing is not to leave the house alone!” she said, according to Lexi’s advice.

“Thanks, Mom!”

Mrs. Anna immediately left, while Jessica immediately called Chelsea to come home. Lexi was not at home so no one forbade her to see Chelsea.

Less than thirty minutes from the first time Jessica called her, Chelsea had arrived at Ricardo’s family house.

“What are you doing?” Jessica asked looking at the look on her best friend’s face.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“I was not accepted to the National University of Singapore,” Chelsea lamented softly. She could not catch up with Beryl who had been accepted in the S1 Department of Computer Science and Information Systems.

“Then, where did you register after?” Jessica asked. If she could go to college, maybe she also wanted to be able to go to college in the same place as Beryl and Chelsea so that they could meet more often.

“University of Malaya [UM] in Malaysia,” she said in a low voice.

“It’s okay, just take the positives, that way you will have friends besides me and Beryl. Not only that, but we will miss each other. And our meeting will be a long-awaited thing.” Jessica grabbed Chelsea in her arms.

Chelsea nodded at Jessica. Cloudy morning, on the terrace of the Ricardo family house. As witnesses, Chelsea and Jessica would soon be separated.

“Sorry, I can’t help you anymore, the day after tomorrow I leave for Malaysia to prepare everything!” Chelsea whispered into Jessica’s shoulder.

Then, Jessica unraveled the hug. “Soon, I will have a baby, I will have friends. You’re there, too. Find as many friends as possible, and if you already have a boyfriend, don’t forget to introduce him to me,” Jessica said trying to comfort Chelsea.

“Sure.”

Chelsea smiled. That’s exactly what Jessica said.

Time will go on. And our lives will change. Meeting, getting to know new people, making friends. That’s it, we just have to live.

“You said you wanted to ask for help, now tell me what I can help you with, after this we can even just video call if I miss your voice, Jess!” she revealed. Sadness was still visible in her eyes.

“If you may know how long has Uncle Arman worked at Ricardo Group?” Jessica asked.

“Wait for a moment, I remember.” Chelsea tried to remember. For about ten years she lived with his adoptive parents. And the first time she came to be part of her new family. His father, Arman, had already worked at the Ricardo Group.

“My father is now 48 years old. Probably about fifteen years he worked in the Ricardo Group. When Mr. Samuel was still leading,” Chelsea explained.

“May I ask for Uncle Arman’s number, there is something I want to ask!” Jessica asked, hoping that uncle Arman, has a little clue about the Kim Family.

“Sure.” Chelsea immediately sent her dad’s number to Jessica’s phone. “Is there anything bothering you, Jess?”

“I need to know about Kim’s family. But I don’t want to know from Daniel Kim. I’ve decided not to leave my husband! I’m pregnant with our baby!” Jessica said she needed to tell Chelsea why she chose Lexi over Daniel Kim.

“Okay, I get it Jess,” Chelsea replied, rubbing Jessica’s shoulder as tears welled up.

“Then I’ll ask my dad in his office. I’ll tell you later,” Chelsea replied. Once again, before leaving she had to help Jessica. Later, she is in Malaysia, she may not be able to help Jessica anymore.

“Hello,” Mrs. Anna received a phone call from Cassandra.

“Hello Aunty, what are you doing?” she asked on the other side of the phone kindly as usual.

“I’m still in the pastry shop, and soon I want to come back home and accompany Jessica to choose a dress.” Mrs. Anna, who was already close to Cassandra, did not suspect anything in this girl.

“Choosing a dress? Can I come with you? You know that my Fashion sense is high, I will choose the best dress and the one that suits Jessica. I’m sure Jessica will look the prettiest and most charming tomorrow,” Cassandra persuaded, who was looking for a gap so that she could go with Jessica.

“Oh yes, you are. Of course you can come. This afternoon with Jessica, auntie will pick you up at home.” Mrs. Anna immediately believed it.

“No need, I will come there, anyway I want to meet Jessica and congratulate her,” that woman said on the other side of the phone happily. Finally, even in the last seconds, she could still do something to create opportunities.

Lexi had arrived at Uncle Sandy’s house in the village, precisely in one of the villages located on the slopes of the mountain with cold air. Along the way is filled with vegetable crops.

The air was very clean and cool, very different from the air of Jakarta.

Lexi got off the two-wheeled vehicle that drove her to the front of the uncle’s House. Luxurious house building. In addition to the main building, there was a special House of peasants who worked for him. The land was very large, and all would only be bequeathed to Arvel. He didn’t want to continue his father’s work.

“Uncle!” Lexi said, breaking into her uncle’s mansion. Like a white palace in the middle of a vast expanse of greenery. It’s a beautiful sight here.

“Lexi,” a middle-aged lady said.

“Yes, where is Uncle Sandy?” Lexi asked.

“Mr. Sandy is in the back garden, he has been waiting for you since this morning,” she said with a soft Javanese voice.

“I’ll be there!”

The waitress walked leading towards the back garden.

Lexi saw the figure of a middle-aged man sitting in his backyard. There’s a teapot on the table.

“Uncle,” Lexi quietly walked over.

“You’ve finally arrived!”

They both hugged each other and asked how they were doing. They also asked about their own selves. This time it came time for Lexi to ask, the main problem that brought his up to come here.

“So, Uncle, what happened to a couple from the Kim family?” Lexi asked, the look that was originally flat turned serious. He couldn’t wait to hear from my uncle.

“Why are you suddenly asking this?” The man asked.

“I just want to know, Uncle!”

Silence.

It was long enough for Uncle Sandy to speak about it.

“So there was a couple from Singapore, they were Darren Kim and Marissa Kim. Initially they applied for a job at Ricardo Group. And because they are good at it, they end up becoming permanent employees. However, the ill-fated turned out that before working in the Ricardo Group they had problems at the previous place of work. That was in a company in Malaysia, ” Uncle Sandy said who knew firsthand the incident.

“Then, why did the accident happen?” Lexi just wished that her parents weren’t involved.

“Briefly, a company from Malaysia accused the Kim couple of stealing confidential company data and handing it over to Ricardo Group. However, your father who knows nothing only feels aggrieved. Then, two days later the Singapore company issued a subpoena. Darren Kim and Marisa Kim’s accident happened, when they were on their way to the airport to fly to Singapore to their home country,” Sandy’s uncle explained briefly and had to stop several times due to coughing.

“Uncle, were my dad and mom involved in the accident? I heard they were driving dad’s BMW in the accident?” Lexi’s heart was pounding so hard. He was afraid, afraid to accept reality.

“Only your dad knew, you ask him by yourself!” Uncle Sandy took a sip of tea from his cup.

“Do you know the children of a married couple from the Kim family?” he asked.

“You’ve met the little girl a few times, but since the accident you don’t know the fate of the girl. Many say she died in an accident with his parents! However, the investigation found only two bodies. There was no clue as to where the girl was. And no more news until now!” Uncle Sandy looked at Lexi to find out what her niece was thinking.

“Uncle, do you know her name? The six-year-old daughter of the Kim family?” Lexi investigated.

“I still remember! She used to be very interested in the roses on the porch of my house. The little girl’s name is Elsa!” Uncle Sandy said as he remembered her face.

Lexi wiped the tears that escaped the corners of his eyes. “My wife’s name is Jessica uncle. She is a child who lived in an orphanage. And recently, I found out that her parents are Darren Kim and Marisa Kim,” Lexi said. He couldn’t hold it anymore. His cheeks were flooded with tears.
