Alana POVs
"Oh my God, Alana? Am I the same ethan nobody to you?" Nattali pointed to herself and shook her head.
"Sister, I don't want to be your burden. Soon you will have a family and not forever I keep bothering you and you help me solve my problems. Don't think I never considered you, please don't think like that. I. I'm just afraid of getting you involved in this fucking thing." I came back crying and Nattali hugged me.
"Don't be mad at me, enough Ethan to be disappointed in me. Don't be mad at me, I beg you." My speech grew sobbing in the arms of nattali who was now rubbing my back.
"How can I be angry at my stupid brother? Even though my stupid sister considers herself mature and independent but still whiny and annoying. Aah I feel like I want to hit you" said nattali to calm me down.
I let go of her embrace. "For this time I let you hit me, hit me, jam also gapapa but don't be hard." I stared at Nattali, without me expecting her to actually hit me with a pillow.
"Jeez Alana.. You're twenty-five years old and you're... Gosh. Come here." Nattali hit me again with a pillow, but I laughed instead. Nattali was like mother, she always understood without emotion and anger.
"I'm sorry for being so busy, I haven't seen you lately." Said Nattali who was now crying and rubbing my head.
"You need a story, right? But I'm not next to you, sorry your sister is late helping you, Alana." Nattali hugged me and we both came back crying together.

Now nattali and I are sitting by the pool. "When did Ethan love me?" I asked Nattali slowly, I was afraid to ask nattali this but I couldn't keep quiet if it was about our patience.
"Since you first met, Ethan liked you back then. But he was too afraid to tell you and in the end he became our best friend." Nattali started explaining to me.
"But the more days he can't control his feelings for you and that love gets bigger. You remind Ethan is the most human playboy, he does that so you don't suspect his feelings." I listen to nattali with others.
"Wait.. wait, did you go to America because of me?" I asked cautiously, I did not want to listen to the nattali's answer this time, I really hope that this time it is not because I want to stay away from me.
"Yes.. One of the reasons ethan went to America is to stay away from you. Ethan thinks if he stays away then his love will be lost, but all I know is that he's been tormented all the time over there." Nattali's answer made me want to cry again, why ethan hurt himself.
"Even every day she asks me your news, she wants to forget you, Alana. But it didn't work, and that's why we're not allowed to meet ethan in America." Nattali looked at me softly.
"I know, Al. There is no friendship between a man and a woman who have no taste, surely one of you has that feeling. And Ethan loves you." Nattali rubbed my arms trying to calm me down who was about to cry again.
"I should how brother? I let Ethan down now, even to look at me he wouldn't." My raucous speech.
"Follow your heart, Alana. Ethan and Dareel's feelings aren't easy things to choose from. Between them there are differences and you have to think about that. Who you love and most importantly is the one who loves you sincerely without thinking about cause and effect and the one who has returned to embrace you. Use your heart, Al, but still use reason for reality." As always, Nattali was the one who always gave me very good advice.
Nattali patted me on the shoulder, "Thank you, brother," I said, hugging Nattali.
Dareel POVs
"Why didn't Alana pick up my call, is everything okay?" I was thinking about yesterday when Alana left suddenly like there was a problem.
When I tried to call him, but his phone was not active. Where is Alana right now, why not return a message or pick up my call.
"Reel, several inventors of solar company abraham have officially decided their cooperation. Even Sabrina said, 45% of the company's shares have been sold to cover all of the employees' expenses and salaries." I listened to Dion's explanation carefully.
"It can be concluded, one more step we can make the company change property rights and solar abraham will be destroyed along with the loss of all his property." I understand what Dion said.
"Ah yes, my gosh until I forgot to say Two days ago Alana resigned as manager, more precisely, Surya Abraham suspects alana and some of his team who have leaked company assets. And before that, Alana suspected the real insider, which is why Alana chose to resign." Dion told me.
"Alright, it should not be in the environment of such people. I'll take care of Alana's problem, and yes is edwin back?" Ask Dion, because it's been three days edwin's out of town.
"Gue also does not know when edwin back again, it is very difficult that the boy in contact. I'm more convinced, out of town he meant there was something, huh." Dion looked at me with a suspicious look.
"What's? I don't know anything either, Edwin didn't tell me anything. Try me later on the phone, you don't have to wirehir too, you know edwin can take care of himself." I patted dion's shoulder soothingly.
"Yes you know, the child's big muscle aja but his brain is like a balloon, sometimes big shrivel. You also know, edwin tuh hard who controls emotions let alone the last problem he was the same bokapnya it and the facts about Rion." Said Dion while trying to protect edwin again.
"Yes, I'll try to find out where he went." I stood up, "Judah I came back first yes, oh yes, yesterday's seminar I summarized everything. I'll take it if you see the professor." I left without a word from Dion.

I stopped the car in front of Edwin's house, the apartment was nobody so I decided to come here.
I repeatedly knocked on the door and pressed the bell but the door did not open even from the inside.
When I turned around to leave, suddenly mama edwin came out, "Dareel.." I saw aunty mira who seemed to have cried. "Hallo aunt, how are you?" I said after shaking hands with aunt mira.
"Dareel. please, son. Please edwin, help aunt... ." Suddenly aunt mira held my hand with tears streaming down. What's the matter? Edwin is okay.
"Aunty what happened?" My question is now in the living room, sitting in front of aunty mira. "Edwin. A week ago papa edwin went out of town for a business trip, but Rion continued to threaten to harm papa edwin. Even Rion's outsmarting, he won't take the responsibility to kill."
"Then three days ago Edwin went to pick up his father, but yesterday to this day there was no news of edwin." Aunty Mira cried explaining what happened.
"Tante, I'll go find edwin and I'll bring edwin back home. Quiet aunt, everything will be fine. I also know who Rion is, he's not gonna do anything reckless." I tried to calm aunty mira in front of me.
"Thank you, son," said aunt mira to me.

After traveling for approximately 3 hours, I have reached the area that is meant by aunt mira. I opened a paper that read the full address where edwin was.
I walked over to a villa, where Edwin had been staying for three days. When I knocked on the door, it didn't sound like anything from inside, but it wasn't locked.
"Edwin," I shouted at the door, "Lo inside?" Shouted me again, but did not get a word. Where did edwin go?
When I was about to return to the car, I saw a middle-aged woman coming out of the villa, I immediately approached her. "Excuse me, is edwin inside?" Ask me.
"Mr edwin? From last night he hasn't come home, sir." Said the aunt. "Where'd it go?" I hope nothing happens to Edwin. "I don't know, either, but Mr. Edwin left in a hurry. Even left his phone." The aunt said to me.
"This is the master of his cell phone," after I asked edwin's phone and aunt gave it to me, I immediately went to look for edwin's whereabouts.
In the car, I checked the message on Edwin's phone. Perhaps there was a conversation with Rion, as well as a clue so I could find him.
Ah, right my guess, last night Rion stopped Edwin from coming to the old factory near the station, where it is. I immediately searched for its location in the gps, the old factory was not far from this villa. I immediately started the car and went there.
It wasn't until half an hour that I reached the front of this old, empty factory. I looked around me, the area was quite quiet, as I walked into the factory I saw my car borrowed by edwin, which meant edwin was inside.
I kept looking for edwin in this old factory, when I would turn my eyes to catch the jacket that Edwin often wore. I approached the jacket lying in front of a large room.
As I watched the jacket, I was again shocked by the blood on the floor. The blood was pointing towards the spacious room I was referring to earlier.
I don't know what I felt, I went into the room, and what I now saw surprised me. Edwin and his father were lying in blood, I ran over to the unconscious edwin.
"Dwin, edwin..." I tried to pat her on the cheek and check edwin's pulse, but I was surprised again because it was not far from my current position. There was also a rion covered in blood lying by holding a gun in his hand.
