My Missing Girl

44. Alive

Alex tried various ways to contact Hannah, but the girl did not reply to his message. Moreover, pick up his call. Alex thinks Hannah is angry with him and intends to leave Alex because of his past.

Alex doesn't want that to happen because Alex doesn't want to lose his love a second time. Let Alex now believe Liliana is gone because her efforts over the past ten years have not received satisfactory results. Because the news about Liliana seems lost swallowed by the earth when Alex increasingly aggressively searches.

So Alex wants to try to let go and open a new sheet to get happy with Hannah.

As a result, he first contacted Cindy, the only close friend Hannah had. Cindy is also a classmate of Alex's, and Alex feels he is close enough to Cindy to extract information about Hannah.

But Alex's good intentions sprayed Cindy with an outpouring of emotion. Because Alex contacted Cindy without looking at the time, the man called Cindy at one o'clock in the morning. The time that should be used for beautiful sleep and beautiful dreams. But Alex destroyed everything.

"You crazy!! Call me at the time?" Cindy was furious when she picked up the call from Alex.

And without guilt, Alex replied with, "Isn't it still afternoon, Cindy?"

"Still your afternoon say? Are you blind or maybe you're crazy?" Cindy was even angrier when she heard Alex's very brazen words.

"Have you seen the clock when you talk like that?" Cindy added to her words earlier.

"Not yet, I immediately called you when I finished work," From where Cindy was already emotional soul and body over the unconsciousness of brother Alexander. It feels like Cindy wants to turn off the call unilaterally because it's so sleepy if only Alex hadn't told me about it. "Do you know how you are about Hannah?"

Alex's voice sounded so depressing that Cindy couldn't bear to turn off the call unilaterally. Finally what Cindy did was provide information about Hannah's condition, the latest updates on Hannah's condition. And of all the stories Cindy told was Hannah was very upset because she had scolded Alex.

When Alex hears Cindy's story, she feels happy because it means Hannah isn't angry with him. But on the other hand, Alex feels guilty for making Hannah that way.

"So what do you want to do?" Cindy dogged Alex with such a question after getting Alex's very unresponsive response, like...

"oh"

"yes"

"Really?"

Cindy is annoyed that Alex doesn't appreciate her, just curious about Hannah but there's no intention of thanking her. Not that Cindy is thirsty with thanks, but Alex appreciates her by connecting all her stories, like...

"Is Hannah sad because of me?" or could it be with "Am I that bad?"

"Do you think my attitude is outrageous or not to Hannah?"

Couldn't this almost elderly man be more attractive in responding to stories, not only the basic word of a million people who seemed very stupid and sounded disrespectful to the people they talked to.

"So you called me just to say it was Al?" Cindy expressed her anger.

"You mean?"

Oh God, Cindy can't stand Alex's stupid attitude. "I hung up," Cindy exclaimed emotionally.

"Please don't, there's something I want to ask you."

"What?! Quickly tell me!! Before my patience runs out."

"When is Hannah coming home?"

***

Opening old sheets that are outdated will indeed remind of the memories of that time. If good memories are worth keeping but if the bad memories must be in the cold, if possible they must disappear so as not to cause injury in the future.

At least that's what Jordan wants to do. He wants to live a quiet and peaceful life, not to be mired in the abyss of his dark past. Because Jordan is happy now, with his new family. But he forgets his happiness with his past, but he just wants to let his past go quietly without any distractions to stay if it's an irony that there's no need to remember.

Jordan's past is too much of a wound, a wound that Jordan doesn't want to remember because he doesn't want to make his now-family feel alienated if Jordan still remembers the past.

Because living with the shadow of the past feels very stifling. The heart is very bad and it feels tight. Jordan doesn't want to live like that.

All this time Jordan's life rose, he had lived as he expected. His life is fine.

But it disappeared when Hannah came, at first it didn't matter. But as some truth unfolds he becomes much of think about Hannah who he believes is Liliana, his biological daughter whom he has been thinking of having died for a dozen years.

But some evidence can't make up for the fact about some of the data he only got a while ago. About the Petter family's adopted son who suddenly disappears from the family card. Brian managed to access that data, it turned out that the data was not very important. Because the content is only about the fact if their adopted child died in an accident. Nothing strange,

But for Jordan, it is very disturbing because the photo of the adopted child is not attached but a photo of the family's youngest child listed. Isn't that weird?

Jordan also found a photo of Petter's family with their twins and adopted son, and unfortunately, this photo of the adopted child was covered in bloodstains on part of her face. So there is not too much visible face of this adopted child.

According to Jordan, there must be something hidden about the child, Jordan becomes suspicious if this adopted child is Liliana. This is just a presumption from Jordan. So it's likely Hannah is Liliana that's the true reality and they exchanged identities. Isn't that possible?

But Jordan is only prejudiced because the evidence is not yet valid. After all, Hannah also has a history of illness that is quite concerning and that corresponds to self-data from Hannah Petter the youngest child of the Petter family. While based on the data that Jordan can adopt a petter family in a healthy state without any congenital disease or severe disease.

This is what makes Jordan confused because the Hannah he knows now has the same history of pain as the data he got.

To find all this, Jordan had to work even harder.

Jessica was allowed into Jordan's reading room when the man was opening an old album that contained a small photo of Liliana.

"What are you doing Babe?" Jessica came in and approached where Jordan was.

"Looking at Lili's photo album, do you want to see it too?"

"Can I?"

"Of course, come here." Jordan invites Jessica to join him.

Jessica did not stop praising how beautiful Liliana was, the girl was indeed very beautiful, her skin was very white like milk. Her long black hair was like an Asian girl exuding dazzling beauty. "She's so beautiful," Jessica muttered as she stroked a slickly framed photo of Liliana in the photo album Jordan was holding.

"You're right, my Lili is indeed very beautiful. If she were still here, she would be the woman of all men's dreams."

Jessica who saw Jordan's tears fall quickly wiped away the tears, "I beg Lili, Jo. Do you know? Lili is happy there." Jessica tried to calm Jordan down.

"I thought that too, but now I think Lili is still alive, Je." He told Jessica.

"You mean?"

"I suspect that Hannah is Lili."

Jessica rounded her eyes, unable to believe what Jordan was saying. "What do you mean?"

"As I said, Hannah is Liliana."

"Don't you go crazy, Jo? Where did you get that kind of trust from!!" Jessica made her voice quite loud.

Jordan wasn't angry with Jessica's attitude, because for her it was natural. As a result, Jordan calms Jessica down and explains all his preconceived notions regarding his suspicions of Hannah. But still, for Jessica it doesn't make sense, Jordan's presumption is too weak. If only Petter's family ide Hannah's identity what would it be beneficial? None.

Because when an out intends to adopt a child surely the family will make sure first if the child is alone and does not have a family. So suppose their adopted child — which Jordan suspects if the child is Liliana, surely petter's family has been looking for information about the child's family. But based on the story that Jordan says no one refers to Hannah as Liliana, or the Petter family's adopted child is Liliana. The two allegations are not true, because as far as Jessica knows after the accident that befell Liliana at that time. Jordan immediately deployed all his men to look for Liliana. And automotive that information spread throughout the country. So it is impossible if it is true that the Petter family who saved Liliana must have returned Liliana. Because there is no reason to take care of the child that his family is looking for.

Isn't Jordan's presumption crazy? If according to Jessica Jordan's presumption is quite crazy and reasonable.

"But Je, I'm talking like that because I'm suspicious of Alex..."

"Is it because Alex is around Hannah?"

Jordan nodded, "The boy always insisted that Lili was still alive,"

"Your reason doesn't make sense, Jo. Because Alex is also how many months here, I'm sure he doesn't think the way you think. Isn't my guess right?"

Jordan simply sighed, "Jo listen to me, I know everything because you told me." Jessica shook Jordan's hand before continuing her remarks. "No matter how to clean Alex is to you, but I'm sure Alex's not that bad to hide Lili from you."

"Don't you remember? Alex is willing to sacrifice his feelings of love for Lili so that he can always be close to Lili. Since if you knew about her feelings, you would have told Alex to keep his distance from Lili. And Alex didn't want to be like that, so he kept the feeling to himself. Until he finally kept the taste until Lili was gone."

"Would you be prejudicial to such a smooth man, Jo?"

"Come on Jo, wake up. If you believe your daughter is alive and well, please find here the right way. Not by blaming others, you thought were wrong in the past. Because all those events happened without anyone knowing and it was impromptu, everyone has hurt not just you."

"I'm talking like this is not overdoing it, I just want you to be at peace with the past. And let her go if she's gone. But if you believe Liliana is still alive look for it in a good way, not by banning the feelings of others. Even though you're his father, but the one who hurt wasn't just you when he lost the person he loved."

Jordan didn't react anymore, he just stared at Jessica's love interest. He was unable to reply to Jessica's remarks because all of Jessica's remarks slapped Jordan about reality.
