Alexander
Chapter 50

"Sleep, I'll take care of you."

After Alex made sure that Kartika fell asleep in his arms, Alex immediately kissed Kartika's forehead and looked at Kartika's face which had closed his eyes. Alex rubbed Kartika's smooth cheeks gently.

"I'm sorry, it took you too long to wait for me. And thank you for waiting patiently for me. I'm sorry that I'm aware of the bad situation. Sorry I can't make you happy." Alex said softly. Then hugged Kartika's body. Kartika, who initially pretended to close her eyes, can hear all the words said by Alex.

"I'm sorry Alex, I'm the cause of all this." Inner Kartika.

In the morning, Mora and Molki are tidy with their school uniforms. At the dinner table, Alex stared sadly at his two children. Having to say things, which would probably offend his son.

"Today may be the day you go to school there. Daddy's gonna take care of your move."

"Daddy.." Mora said that he did not accept. There Mora already has friends and there is no way Mora will move. Mora doesn't want to be a new student. And also the enough homes they left for Mora's school can't tolerate.

"But baby, this has been the right decision.

"No! Mora wants to go to school there. Or not at all." Mora said in a high tone,. Mora was very disappointed with Alex who decided without asking him first. The one who went to school was Mora, not himself.

"Darling.."

Mora immediately stood up from his seat and headed towards the place of Kartika.

"Mother, Mora doesn't want to move. Mora's comfortable there." Mora said while hugging Kartika's body. Kartika rubbed Mora's back shoulder.

"Yes, mom will still make you go to school there. So don't cry."

"Promise?" Mora said as he raised his little finger. Kartika nodded her head, then linked her little finger with Mora's. Alex could just shut up.

When Alex, Molki and Mora had left Kartika immediately took his phone and contacted Rafqi. A lot of things Kartika talked to Rafqi about the company's affairs.

"Australia...." Shouted July as she entered the house. Kartika who is currently calling directly made shocked by the presence of July.

"July." Kartika Sapa. Juli immediately hugged Kartika's body and cried a hiccup in her arms. Many questions that July asked for Kartika. Why Kartika must be willing to live to suffer, why Kartika does not bring Mora and Molki alone. Why should he live with the mask he is wearing right now. And what would happen if Alex knew the truth. And there are still a lot of questions that continue to be asked by Juli, making Kartika can only smile at the worries of her best friend. And sure enough what Juli said, what would happen if Alex knew everything. A marriage based on lies will last. Kartika has lied about her background. And also himself who became the cause of the bankruptcy of the company led by Alex.

An hour passed, now July and Kartika are still chatting with each other. But they were suddenly silent as the car parked in the yard..

"Alex." Whisper July.
