Alexander
Chapter 44

At the dinner table, Alex looks for a figure who for several months always accompanies him to breakfast. Yes, even though Alex does not feel like it, but Alex now feels like losing that figure, who else if not Kartika. A very warm woman who always smiles even though Alex is always cold to her. A woman who always gives love to her two children even though she is not her biological mother.

"Bi, where's mom?" Ask Mora who has since noticed that Kartika does not exist.

"The lady's in the non room, getting some rest from an upset stomach." Hearing aunt's answer, Mora immediately stood up and ran towards Kartika's room, as well as Molki, he also immediately stood up and followed Mora. And Alex he also wanted to stand up but there was bi Ratih, so Alex decided to stay seated quietly in his place while waiting for his two children.

"Mother what happened. Says auntie Mommy is sick? Let's go to the hospital so you can be handled by a doctor." Said Mora who continued to embrace Kartika who is currently sitting on the bed.

"Darling, mom is fine. So don't worry."

"Today Mora doesn't want to go to school. Mora wants to take care of mom." Mora said loudly but his voice sounded trembling, like he was holding back his sadness. Kartika who understood immediately rubbed the head of Mora.

"Mother is fine. Only your stomach mules. Mother just needs a toilet not a doctor." Kartika explains to Mora slowly so that Mora can accept his explanation and wants to go to school. After understanding enough, Mora decided to get out of Kartika's room. Unlike Molki who had been watching Kartika quietly explained to Mora.

"Mother, I go to school first. Hope this is a good start for you." Molki said and then came out of the room. Kartika was shocked to hear Molki's words. Molki seems to know what happened between him and Alex. Again Kartika continues to try to remember the previous events, but still failed because of a deep sleep, Kartika then saw her sleeping place.

"Ohhhhh." Shouted Kartika who realized that there was no bolster at all on the bed.

"Come on, think harder." Kartika Gumam.

But Kartika was shocked when the door opened and Alex suddenly came in and said.

"How are you doing? Is it getting better?"

"I-i..." Kartika walked backwards as Alex walked over to her. But Kartika's steps stopped when her body hit the wall of the room. Spontaneous Kartika closed her eyes, clenching both hands, because she felt Alex would give a lesson because he had dared to sleep in his room. But what Kartika thinks is different from reality when Alex's hand lands on her forehead.

"Not hot." Alex's words made Kartika open her eyes. Now the eyes of the two look at each other. And this time the heart of Kartika again jerked uncharacteristically, as if to get out of the place where it should be located.

After a few seconds they looked at each other, Kartika immediately tried to walk, but Alex pulled his arm.

"Rest, let my children take care of it." Alex said, then took off Kartika's hand and came out of the room.
