My Missing Girl

46. The past

Alex P.O.V.

I was a child who never lacked anything, even my life was perfect. My life as Dae Alexander Dyo can be said to be a life that there is no gap to feel sadness. From a young age, I was always bestowed with abundant love and wealth.

I was born a member of the Alexander family, the only son that alexander's family desperately wanted.

Whatever I want I will have even if it is impossible. My life is perfect. I have a mother who loves me very much.

The point is that I was raised with an abundance of affection.

But all of that disappeared when I turned ten. Suddenly the alexander family's wealth was exhausted as if swallowed up by the earth. God easily turned things around.

My father — Yontan Alexander — was in a lot of debt everywhere. With Yontan using the company's assets to gamble and the assets of hundreds of trillions were exhausted in just a few days. Replaced by the company's insolvent, the stock price fell investors also ran away and did not want to help. Feeling like Lexa Company is broken and can't be expected anymore.

At that time I who did not understand much about the company could only be silent and observe adults who often fussed over something I could not understand.

Every time I came home from school I always saw my mother being tortured by my father. My father suddenly became a grumpy man, all the items in front of him were slammed to shreds.

Of course, I was scared, I could not bear to see the mother who was chastised by My Father I approached my mother so that you could not touch and hurt my mother anymore.

I try not to hurt you. One night I was taken by my mother to the seafront to see the fire. Our house is indeed near the sea, so getting there doesn't take long. It might only take ten minutes on foot.

Once there, my mother took her to the beach to see the fireworks. The fireworks were beautiful that night and I liked them.

When I seriously saw the fireworks, my mother suddenly hugged me tightly. Kissing my forehead was very long and I felt the warmth of my mother's kiss. I hugged Mom. And when I returned his hug suddenly mom let go of my hug.

My mother told me, "My son, will you come with me?"

I don't understand my mother's intentions, I asked"Where are you?"

"To a good place, there we don't have to be sad or sick anymore. You want to?" now my mother knelt in front of me likened her height to my height which was not yet how high compared to my mother's height.

"Can you tell me where that place is? I want to go with mom, but exactly where? Don't we need permission from Dad?" I asked again because I was still curious about where my mother was referring.

"That place is very nice, Dae. You're going to like it a lot, and we're not going there to be with Dad. I just want to go along with you." I felt a deep sadness in every word I said. It was as if I was going to a very far away place and wouldn't come back.

Because I don't want you to be disappointed I finally agreed to Mom's request. I agreed to my mother's invitation because I don't mind going anywhere if it's with mom.

When I agreed to My invitation, suddenly I invited myself to walk to the seafront, getting closer to the water that swept the sand of the beach. I raised my eyes a few times because I was confused as to exactly what million mothers would take me to the middle of the sea like this. Because I was confused I held my hand and asked again, "Where are we going? Why are we walking into the middle of the sea?"

Mom turned to me, then she smiled at me, "I told you, Dae. We're going to a beautiful place."

Next, I just kept quiet and followed my mother, I walked right next to my mother following her every footstep...

And after the day ...

***

Alex wakes up from his sleep. He flinched in his sleep. He got up and rubbed his face violently." The dream again, "Alex did not think it was long gone but always disturbing in his dreams. The night he was separated from his mother, the night that the bad day came.

Alex looked at the wall clock in his room, the time showed at three in the morning. Alex doesn't think about himself at the end - these days often lead to that bad thing. Alex still can't forget the incident but Alex is no longer traumatized when remembering or saying the bad thing.

Although sometimes Alex feels tremendous pain in his heart Alex must get up and forget about the bad thing for a moment. Alex tries to let go of what Alex has considered being one of God's destinies that had been planned for him.

Alex got out of bed, suddenly his throat was dry, and wanted to drink something. Alex walked to the kitchen at his house. Alex walked to the place where there was a refrigerator there. Alex took the cold mineral bottled water then gulped it down until it ran out.

Alex sits at the station bar in his house then Alex picks up his phone which turns out to be left there. Alex scrolled through his phone's screen, opening his mailboxes one by one. And all Alex did was sound tired. Because there was not a single important message, other than one message that he intentionally pinned.

With a wide smile, Alex opened the message from the person who was considered special to him.

 From Sweeties :

Dyo?

Are you okay?

Why not reply to my message?

My father's looking for you.

That's a message that went into Alex's phone around ten o'clock last night. But the last message Alex read. Alex just got it a few minutes ago.

Alex was a little worried because the girl was not sleeping because she was waiting for a reply to a message from him. As a result, because Alex did not want to talk much he also pedo the girl's number.

It wasn't until the first ringer finished stopping Alex's call had been answered.

"Hello" the voice sounded very loud and it seemed that it was the voice of a person who felt very drowse.

"You're not sleeping?" Alex asked with a soul.

"Are you okay?" instead of answering the girl instead of asking back.

"Answer me first,"

Heard a sigh from there, Alex also breathed roughly. Astonished by the girl's behavior.

Since the girl was silent and didn't answer Alex, Alex was sure she wasn't sleeping because she was worried about him.

"Why don't you sleep?" Finally, Alex spoke softly repeating the question to the girl.

"I'm waiting for you to reply to my message." the girl finally spoke honestly.

Alex was confused and couldn't comment anymore.

Finally, Alex followed what the girl wanted, explaining his condition. Why didn't he reply to the girl's message?

"Are you hurt?" her voice sounded very slow and trembling slightly, was it possible that the girl was crying?

"Are you crying?" Alex asked, to which the girl replied, "I'm not crying, I'm just a little bit of dust."

Alex held back his laughter, how could the girl come across to make such an excuse. Because Alex didn't know the truth about the girl's eyes being exposed to dust or not. Because chatted with them just from the phone.

"You don't think about me, I'm okay," Alex said.

But the girl instead raised the tone with a slight jolt to Alex. "How can I not worry about you? Brian said you got hit by a gun. And strangely again you don't want to be treated." The girl vented all her anger. The girl was worried about Alex's situation. Because she got word from Brian one of Alex's friends, told her that Alex was slightly injured by being hit by a rifle while training earlier. And Alex refused treatment because he had only minor injuries. And the wound will heal if given alcohol and antibiotics.

Of course, the girl was suddenly very worried about Alex's condition. The man did not return the message he sent. It made the girl feel an overwhelming worry.

The girl was very frustrated that Alex didn't reply to her message. Therefore, the girl could not sleep comfortably. He thought about Alex all night because he didn't get a reply immediately.

If only the girl knew Alex's home address. He's going straight to his house. But the girl didn't know where Alex lived.

Alex, conscious of the girl's concerns, tried to calm the girl down so as not to think badly. Alex is in a very healthy state. It looks like Alex has raised the news on the girl because it was just a weekly exercise and it was changed to use only an air rifle. Alex only got bruises from the air rifle. So there's no need to overdo it.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. I'm sorry I didn't reply to your message. Because I fell asleep. Now you're sleeping yes?" Alex tried to calm the girl down so she wouldn't have to worry anymore.

"Are you sure? You're okay? Brian said..."

"Lili, please! I'm really fine, it's just a little bruise. I'm sure in two days the wound will heal when I give him the ointment."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure you're sleeping now. I don't want to get a scolding from your father when he finds out his daughter isn't sleeping just because of someone like me."

The girl laughed very loudly when she heard Alex's very funny reason. But it's true what Alex said, he could get angry from his father if he was caught not sleeping until this morning.

"I'll hang up, you go to sleep." Alex delivered his closing message first because if Alex waited for the girl she wouldn't go to bed.

"You also sleep well, don't practice rifles often or practice fighting. I don't want you to get hurt."

"Lili, are you worried about me?" Alex asked full of squeaks, which made the girl feel ashamed and made her cheeks very red. Fortunately, Alex didn't see it in person when viewed in person the girl would feel an incredible sense of shame.

Since the girl was no longer able to, the girl ended the call quickly. "You also slept well Dyo. Bye, I'm closed. Good night."

Tut...

The call was quickly cut off as the girl ended quickly.
