Alexander
Chapter 23

"Where are Molki and Mora?" Alex asked as he walked into the house, loosening his tie.

"He's..." Bi Ratih speech interrupted when, Kartika immediately came to the side.

"They're in the room" Kartika replied as she grabbed Alex's briefcase.

"I've prepared bath water for you." Kartika said that Alex stopped his steps.

"Don't get my attention." Alex said with a ketus.

"I'm just watching you as a couple. Not looking for attention. So, it's definitely different." Answer Kartika who does not accept if he is called seeking attention.

Alex did not comment on Kartika's speech, he just went straight. Climbing the stairs.

"Basin' cold man." Ketus Kartika, and make Alex's footsteps stopped.

"What did you say?" Alex asked, turning his head back, looking at Kartika who was still standing at the end of the stairs..

"You hear what?" Kartika answered with a question.

Alex shook his head, then resumed his steps towards his private room.

Because it's useless for Alex to talk to a Kartika, whose edges Alex can't beat in terms of talking.

"The lady's great." Said Ratih while nodding his thumb. Ratih, who had been silent since then, continued to pay attention to his mistress and master who were slightly involved in a small quarrel.

"Bi Ratih's. Help me prepare dinner." Take Kartika.

"But wait a minute." Kartika said with a small laugh. "I forgot to keep that cold guy's bag."

Alex knitted one eyebrow, as he was about to go down the stairs and heard laughter coming from the direction of the first floor.

"Morah." Alex's mind is well memorized by the child's voice.

Yes, now the sound of Mora laughing can be heard up to the second floor. Alex who was at the top and heard the laughter of the child, was immediately curious. Because just this time Alex heard Mora laughing loosely, and it sounded like very happy.

But Alex's footsteps stopped, when he saw Mora laughing accompanied by Kartika who was beside Mora.

"Mrs." Said bi Ratih slowly, when he realized that Mr. Alex had stood not far from the kitchen.

"Mrs." Re-call Bi Ratih, because Kartika and Mora are still busy throwing wheat flour at each other.

"What's bi?" Ask Kartika in between her laughter.

"Stop." Alex shouted in a high tone of voice. To make Kartika and also Mora stop the activation.

"Mora, right now, go into the room. And clean yourself up." Tell Alex who doesn't want to be denied.

"And you!" Said Alex while staring intently at Kartika.

"Auntie." Lirih Mora holding Kartika's hand. Because Mora was already starting to get scared, Alex said.

"Come baby. Clean yourself up." Said Kartika, and Mora immediately complied, and walked slowly towards his room. Sometimes Mora turns his head around, seeing Kartika.

"Don't rule aunty Kartika." Mora loudly shouted before closing the door of his room.

"This is how you teach my son? You taught him to play dirty."

"Not shit. It's just wheat flour." Answer Kartika.

"I knew. You think I'm blind?" Jerk Alex.

"You! Your arrival in this house, makes me upset every day. And your arrival in this house has a bad influence on Mora."

Kartika lowered her head. He was completely inexhaustible with this cold man before him, who thought he had a bad influence on Mora.

"Don't approach my kids. Especially Mora."

Hearing that remark, Kartika immediately raised her head and looked at Alex.

"What if I don't want to?" ask Kartika.

Alex knitted his brows at Kartika's words.

"They're my kids. Not your son." Strictly touch Alex.

"Remember! Don't approach my son, and don't affect my children's minds."
