It's not bad to know the truth about life. No matter how bitter it is, it must be accepted and lived as best as possible.
Because it could be that behind the hardships being experienced there is goodness. Hope never breaks for those who always believe.
Believe and care, are two wise words to live a hard life. Because in the episodes of life that must be passed, there is not only joy but also sorrow.
That's what Kalina feels, now she has to live the life story of a Kanaya. Now she knows where the scars on her body came from.
"It turns out that from Zaki's excessive attitude, Kanaya experienced all this. What's wrong? What has Kanaya done that Zaki has the heart to abuse her?" Kalina asked the silence.
"Is she not beautiful enough? Not good? Or is he just a sociopath? This man is really crazy," Kalina growled who was currently in the archery arena.
"He is not at all grateful to have a wife as beautiful as Kanaya," she continued holding back her annoyance.
Before wanting to retaliate against Zaki's treatment of Kanaya, Kalina's initial plan was to make herself truly like the original body owner.
Where Kanaya likes archery and has won many trophies in various competitions. All of that was kept in the study room, Kalina found out when she found out the truth about this woman yesterday afternoon.
Kanaya Leandra, is a talented woman, an archery athlete who has won many awards. She is currently twenty-eight years old, the same as Kalina.
Kalina and Kanaya's lives are very different, one is like a princess and the other has to struggle as hard as she can to find a bite to eat.
However, Kanaya's life is sadder, that's what Kalina thinks.
It's not easy to have to live a life that is not her portion, but Kalina tries to accept it as best she can and is determined to avenge Kanaya's pain on Zaki.
"Does Young Lady want to practice archery?"
A deep voice greeted her, Kalina realized from her own thoughts, turned to the right, and jumped when she saw a smile spread across this man's handsome face.
"Gosh! Adrian, you surprised me," said Kalina while rubbing her chest to stop her heartbeat.
"Ah! Sorry Young Lady, I didn't mean to startle you. It's just that I feel worried," Adrian said, feeling guilty.
Kalina tilted her head briefly, "worried? What are you worried about?" she asked, confused.
"Yes, that's because Young Lady just got out of the hospital. Even though it's been a month, but-"
"You said... your name is Adrian, right? Adrian can mean human from the ocean, no wonder you have the task of guarding this mansion. Um... really like a knight."
"Is this fairy tale world real?" Kalina's chatter cut Adrian off.
The man was stunned, chuckling briefly watching Kalina talk a lot. This also invited a big question mark.
"Is there something wrong with what I said? Why are you laughing as if you were listening to someone making a joke," Kalina continued, pursing her lips, annoyed.
Adrian tried to stifle his laughter while waving his hand right in front of Kalina.
"I didn't mean to laugh at you, Young Lady. It's just... I'm glad Young Lady talked a lot today. I'm also glad Young Lady looks fine, even... more cheerful than before the accident," Adrian replied.
Kalina's forehead frowned sharply. She, who had been looking up to see Adrian's pair of hazelnuts, was stunned. Getting new information suddenly invited sadness.
How has Kanaya lived her life so far? Is she happy with her marriage? Does Zaki keep hurting her? Doesn't anyone care about her wounds?
Kalina wanted to ask those questions, but for some reason, her lips were tightly sealed.
Adrian was surprised again, Kalina who had been chattering a few seconds ago was now silent. Was there something wrong? He thought, worried.
"Young Lady, are you okay?" he asked again.
"What was I like before? Did I... not talk much like now? Was I a very quiet woman?" Kalina asked back, looking seriously.
Adrian became firm, the pleasure had just turned a little sharp. Hearing his young lady's question just now made him realize that Kanaya had indeed lost her memory.
***
Kalina and Adrian moved to a park bench located under a shady tree, facing the archery practice arena.
As far as the eye could see, there was only green grass to pamper the eyes. Kalina sat quietly while observing the surrounding nature.
She waited quietly for what Adrian had to say. Before going there, the man said he wanted to tell a little about who Kanaya was before the accident took her memory.
"I hope this can help your memory, Young Lady," Adrian paused for a moment, observing Kanaya's reaction, Kalina's eyebrows, the woman only nodded briefly while continuing to look ahead.
"Young Lady Kanaya is a very cheerful woman. I have been with Young Lady since childhood, where... I always lived in the mansion, because... my father worked as a guard before."
"Day by day we began to get close to each other and became close friends. Young Lady Kanaya always told little things with enthusiasm."
"Young Lady also said she enjoyed archery. The feeling when the arrow flies to its target gives it happiness."
"As time went by, The Young Lady said she fell in love with someone. A man she met at the archery competition arena."
"As someone close to Young Lady for a long time... I am very happy and grateful that Young Lady has found the love of her life."
A smile formed again on Adrian's thin lips, remembering his young days with The Young Lady, Kanaya.
A cheerful, kind woman, who did not discriminate, was not arrogant and was friendly to anyone made him grateful to be close to Kanaya.
Kalina, who witnessed the expression, understood Adrian's admiration.
"I thought that after marrying Mr. Zaki, Young Lady Kanaya could be happy, but... day by day, the smile that faithfully framed her beautiful face slowly faded."
"I don't know what happened... because I didn't want to interfere in their household affairs, but... I was sad when I saw Young Lady always crying secretly."
"When I approached Young Lady when she was sad... Young Lady Kanaya always said she was fine and happy with her marriage."
"After I got the task to watch the bottom of the hill, it was suspected that a certain syndicate was targeting this house, somehow... not long after being assigned I got unpleasant news, namely Young Lady Kanaya fell from the second floor."
Adrian turned to the left, Kalina who had been listening carefully and paying attention to him was surprised when they looked at each other.
Disbelief, disappointment, and anger all radiated there. Kalina was stunned by Adrian's facial expression.
"Is it possible that before the accident happened, Young Lady Kanaya experienced something? Because I always find bruises on her hands, without being able to ask why."
After talking at length about Kanaya's condition in those days, Kalina's eyes opened wide.
Somehow her heart was beating fast, what Adrian said in the last sentence was in sync with her intuition.
Kalina had not said a word, the memory in her head was indeed not hers, but some of it was depicted, somehow.
She closed her eyes tightly feeling an unexpected pulse coming to block her. Adrian's words just now seemed to remind her of something sad.
