Not the Substitute Girl
We Are the Same

Orion's hand shook, reading the data Xuan had just given him. The man's face also changed drastically. I can't believe it, angry and sad. All of those flavors become one. Orion's eyes had even turned red, the man wanted to cry holding back the anger and grief in the heart.

"You sure? Is this all valid?" orion asked with a trembling voice. Orion immediately turned around, avoiding Xuan's questioning gaze at Orion's changing facial expression after nodding, confirming the superior's question.

"Why did you guys do that? Why?!" Orion really did not understand why that person could do such a cruel thing.

"How about the real one?"

Xuan lowered his head. Orion closed his eyes. "Is there any chance they'll kill him first, then they'll take his place."

"That's probably the biggest." Orion's body is squeezing. The man doesn't know what else to do. "It is fitting that they never show any affection to Sera. Because they are just intruders. Other people in disguise go in for a good life or whatever their true purpose is." Orion clenched his hand. It's a heavy blow to Orion.

A moment of silence enveloped the place. Xuan, although he did not know why Orion was so shocked at the report, but the man allowed Orion to calm down. "What's our next plan?" Xuan ventured to ask. After seeing Orion can control himself.

"I thought they wouldn't dare touch Alea. So maybe their goal is just to live a good life. But we must remain waspda. Don't let them touch Alea and Beni. The others I don't really care."

"Adnan and Vano can take care of themselves. And Darrel and Mikayla, they're three with that guy. So let it go."

Orion nodded in agreement with Xuan's proposal.

Orion's car stopped in front of a house. One simple dwelling made of boards. With white and gray to paint. Simple but very beautiful, comfortable and soothing. The man went down, up through the wooden stairs. Then sit on the chair on the terrace next to the house.

Orion rested his body on the wooden chair, turned his head and closed his eyes. A flash of memories about the house appeared in Orion's mind. Where laughter and jokes adorn the house. The days that the family went through were very happy. Orion smiled at him for a moment remembering. Until the report sheet from Xuan turned Orion's smile into a cry. The man was crying.

"How can you change? Didn't you teach us that we should not be vengeful, even if that person did us evil. Butwhy? Why do you destroy your teachings!".

Orion's cry sounded so desperate. He looked very disappointed at the owner of the house. "Eh Mr Valdy, are you back?" One voice made Orion turn his head then hurriedly rubbed his tears rough. A middle-aged woman walked over towards Orion.

"I happen to be in business here. So you guys stopped by to see this house. Thank you for taking care of her for me." Reply Orion.

The woman smiled. Maybe the woman thought Orion was crying because she remembered her parents. "No problem sir. We also want to thank you, because you have allowed this house to be used for the gathering place of the residents if there is a meeting."

"That's better Bi, than no use at all. Glad this house is here."

Orion did not intend to stay here, if Star Jewerly's affairs were to be completed. Orion will stay until Felix comes back, but if the problem increases, he could be stepping back to Milan until all is settled.

"Oh yes sir. Some time ago someone visited here. I don't know them, but they seem to have memorized this place."

Orion frowned. Come to this house? The woman explained that they even asked who the owner of this house was. According to Orion's orders, the woman was told to answer if the house belonged to a foreigner who had bought it.

"Are they angry?" The woman answered yes. Orion smiled, apparently they still remember this house.

Orion left the house after telling the woman not to tell anyone about herself. The woman immediately made a sign of silence, after one thick brown envelope Orion gave the woman.

"Money.you really have power." Orion muttered and drove his car through the green grassy streets, leaving his own home.

Nika's voice was heard again. Alea turned her head. Alea's eyeballs were rounded looking at Nika who instantly stopped her movements. With her appearance now, Nika clearly knew that she was Sera. His boss at the office.

What made Alea even more nervous was her father and mother walking behind Nika. "Alea.that's Alea, sir." Alea's mother ran to meet Alea.

"What should I do?" Inner Alea panicked. The girl was stuck in place, unable to move from there. Alea could see the longing twinkle that appeared in her mother's eyeball.

"Mom, dad, I miss you." The whisper of Alea lirih.

"Auntie, she's not Alea, she's Miss Sera, my boss at the office." Nika's voice explained. Alea's mother was immediately flabbergasted. There was no way he could have mistaken his daughter. That's Alea not Sera.

"She's Alea Nika open Sera or whoever it is."

"But Bi, the truth is so. I just misidentified him, and even the DNA test was done, Serafina Athaya, CEO of Star Jewerly, said. Master Orion Harasya Alexander's fiancee." Alea's mother closed her mouth in disbelief. The woman stared fixedly at Alea who was just unmoved in her place. Alea's eyes glazed over. She almost shed the girl's tears.

"Sorry Mom, we misidentified you. They miss their children very much. I miss him too, he's my best friend. Excuse me." Nika led Alea's father and mother from there. Alea's father didn't seem to want to leave. Until the pull from Alea's mother made the man step away from there. A longing look returned to Alea's heart.

"Have found it?" Orion throws

his bluetooth headset when Xuan couldn't find Alea yet. The man drove his car fast, splitting the streets of the capital that began to creep up the night. Alea said goodbye to take a walk to the mall. The girl could not wait for Orion to drive her own car.

And now after two hours, there's no word from the girl. Anxiety instantly hit Orion. What if something bad happens to Alea? What if someone did something bad to that stubborn girl?

Some unkind thoughts were milling around in Orion's mind. Where else would he have to search, if a hacker of Xuan's class alone could lose track of Alea. Until one call came in from Axa.

Orion fell silent as Axa spoke from across the street. "I know that place." Orion threw his cell phone. Then quickly turned the car around, heading to a place Axa called.

"I hope you're okay."

Some time later, elsewhere, Alea appeared to be leaning on her car. Without him knowing, Orion had already gotten there as well. Orion could see that Alea looked sad. Seeing that thing. Orion thought he would let Alea go first. The man parked his car in a place a little far away from Alea's place, but Orion could still see Alea clearly. Both lean their bodies onto their cars.

"Are you feeling sad today too? Then we're the same." Inner Orion who lowered his face. Just like Alea doing things was no different from Orion. Because the girl was crying.
