CHOOSE SILENCE
Chapters. 16. Alfred Murka

The one Frans' doctor met was Alfred. Now the two handsome men sat facing each other without a word.

Alfred changed his seat. Then looked at Doctor Frans sharply.

"Have you forgotten the position you're sitting in?" baritone sounds like Alfred's innuendo break the silence.

"Of course I'm aware. Did I make a mistake?" doctor Frans said calmly because he did not do as Alfred alleged.

"Of course it's wrong. I know all this time you didn't like being intimate with a woman, but today you're so familiar" Alfred said with a hardened jaw.

Doctor Frans' forehead shriveled as he rubbed his chin.

"Of course because it's different,"

"What do you mean different? don't you like it?" alfred said with a hardened jaw, even without realizing it the two hands were clenched tightly, causing his knuckles.

"Yes I like her, she's the woman I told her about when I graduated from doctor's school. Isabella is that woman," I'm doctor Frans as in a flat tone. Alfred's expression could not be imagined hearing the confession of doctor Frans. "But unfortunately I was late because he already belonged to someone else, he was married" he added in a disappointed tone.

Doctor Frans bowed his head, and his heart was throbbing in acceptance of that fact. While Alfred set his breath, suddenly feeling tight to hear the woman who had been in the heart of the doctor Frans is Isabella his own wife.

"You look fragile. There are still many women out there who want to have you" Alfred said.

"She's a different woman" doctor Frans said as he breathed. "Do you not know Isabella? and I'm a little surprised why he works at this hospital? she is the daughter of January. I also just found out his identity because during college he was never proud so some people do not know if she is the daughter of January the number one richest person in Indonesia. Strangely again his marriage was not highlighted by the public, both of his masters are respected people," said doctor Frans at length.

"Of course it's not highlighted and known to the public because I first cleared it up in several countries including this city" Alfred's inner self.

"I didn't know that,"

"But he said you interviewed him yourself,"

Instantly Alfred was shocked, and he immediately looked for an excuse.

"It's true that I interviewed him but I have absolutely no idea who he is, not even the name of January in his name" elak Alfred. "Or she had other intentions," she returned as if I had intentions.

"She's not the woman you think she is. You just want to ask me about that? all right, I'll be back on duty" the doctor wanted to get up but Alfred's words kept him sitting.

"Remember to never say anything about me, if it happens you know the consequences yourself" threatened Alfred.

"What's my advantage in talking about you? like nothing matters" said Dr. Frans cynically.

"That's a loss to me" Alfred lamented inwardly.

Shhh

Alfred grumbled.

"Stop that grudge that's not clear how the chronology is,"

"Don't interfere, I've found it. Even the game was just beginning," of course Alfred was very angry to hear the words of doctor Frans, even Alfred clutching the collar of doctor Frans' shirt.

Doctor Frans raised his hand feeling surrender, useless he warned Alfred because the character of the man was very stubborn.

"Take my warning Frans, you know for yourself what the consequences are if you interfere. Better keep your mouth shut" threatened Alfred once more.

"Next week's anniversary Om and Aunty. They left it to me because your cell phone is very difficult to contact," Frans' doctor immediately got up. "They were very expecting your presence" he added and passed right away.

The passing of doctor Frans. Alfred was furious.

"So he's a threat to me" Alfred shouted very loudly. Of course no one heard because the room was soundproofed.

After that Andre brought a report. Andre said that Frans' doctor was close to revealing his secret to me, if only Andre was a little late. It made Alfred even more angry and impatient to teach me a lesson.

Clamps

I opened the door exhausted. Not forgetting to close it back. My goal is to go straight to the stairs.

"Is that busy your job? coming home late at night?" freddie stopped my steps.

I didn't respond to Alfred's scolding so I got him close and grabbed my arm so tightly.

"I work according to the task given," I said for holding that grip. "This is very painful," beg me softly.

I don't know if Alfred heard my words.

"What's the deal with you? never ask anything that is not important" Alfred said with a sharp glare. "One more time, if our marriage is known, be ready to lose the person you love" he added.

"Of course it's my business Alfred because after all you are my husband" I lamented inwardly as I returned Alfred's gaze.

"Sorry," I looked down again. When it comes to family I raise my hand, let me suffer, as long as they are not hurt.

"Where's your phone? I'm tired of taking calls from insignificant people" said Alfred managed to get me on board, he said my parents were not important.

"For you it is not important but it is different for me. Just ignore it, no need to answer," I said really bravely, for a moment I forgot who Alfred was.

"You want them to be suspicious? that huh? I won't let it go because the game is just beginning" Alfred smiled mockingly. "You're coming up to add more trouble for me" he said.

"If you have, end it all so that you are satisfied" I said, shouting out loud even my hands clenched tightly.

"You dare yell at Alfred, Isabella?" alfred exclaimed with a shout, even his hands raised wanting to be cast into my face so as to make me reflexively close my eyes. Unknowingly a clear circle rolled across my face with my eyes still closed.

Seeing my resignation Alfred stared with an unreadable gaze, even his hands were still hanging.

"Once again you dare to deny seeing what will happen," threatened Alfred immediately passed leaving me who was still closing my eyes with a feeling of pain.

I opened my eyes and did not find Alfred in front of me. It turned out that the slap was not felt on my cheek. I let out a sigh of relief. I don't know where Alfred is and I don't care where he is.

Mood wants to go to the room as if she's missing. I want to be alone in the back garden. I walked away empty-eyed. Such a life I never imagined before, but fate says something else beyond our expectations.

In the garden I sat on a long chair facing an ornamental fish pond. The night wind of course I hit my body occasionally. I glanced at the watch on my wrist, and it now showed me the short needle to the number 11.

My eyes were empty forward without direction. Instantly my heart moved to contact Papa with Mama. It's still there at 9 p.m. Indonesia with Korea time difference of 2 hours, Korea fast 2 hours. I reached for the phone that I had been deactivating for a few days. I activated it and contacted my mom via videocall.

Not long after my call was connected.

["Ma's Night,"]

["Sweet Mama misses me very much. How are you doing? why do you rarely call my mom? don't you miss us?"] crying Mama with questions.

["Dear mom I'm sorry. Not so Ma but lately I have been busy. Mama don't cry,"]

["Mama doesn't cry baby, Mama just misses. Yes Mama knows you are very busy, said Alfred you have started interning at hospital x,"] Mama's words managed to make my eyes round even the phone in my hand almost missed. But as much as possible I hid the shock.

["What's wrong?"] My mother asked because she realized my response.

["Yes Ma what Alfred said was true. Where's Papa Ma?"]

["Papa hasn't come home from Opa's house with Oma dear. Coincidentally two days ago Opa same Oma is back. Oya plan Opa same Oma will visit you, want to meet your husband."]

Deg

My eyes were rounded with a dry throat when I heard Mama say Opa same Oma would visit us.

["What's wrong? do you mind?"]

["No Ma, quite the opposite. Just let's tell me when Opa's with Oma leaving,"]

Of course I wanted to reject him but my family could have been suspicious. We talked at length.

["Please baby you should go to bed soon hmm kasian your husband left alone in the room, after all there is late at night,"] Mama's words would love for me to laugh, mock yourself.

We also end. I took a breath and exhaled with my mouth swollen.

"He's very good at theatrics. Papa, Mama I'm sorry," I murmured with teary eyes.

I wiped away these tears, then left the garden with a chaotic feeling.

Without me realizing it was Alfred was also in the park just different seating. Alfred occupied a chair surrounded by trees so that the figure was invisible. Of course Alfred heard my conversation with Mama.

Seriate....
