Discarded After Childbirth
Chapter 55 - Investing
Alwin's presence in the middle of the Gaza family makes the house so crowded and there are baby cries at night. But no one was disturbed at all. They want to have their own grandchildren quickly.
Likewise in the morning, the dining table became full of fun because of the addition of one member who participated in eating at the dining table. Moreover, the puffed baby was eating voraciously from the mouthful of the mother. Seeing him eat alone made everyone who saw him so full.
Gea was so grateful that Alwin was not a child who had difficulty eating. It is very delicious and easy to eat. Even being carried by anyone does not cry. Except for Selena. Maybe the baby knows who's good and bad.
Mama Hani became anxious herself made. I can't wait to have my own grandchild.
"Ge, what are your plans after this? Alwin is in your hands. Will you stay in Jakarta?" ask Mama Hani.
"I don't know Auntie yet. It's likely that I'll stay here because I still have a contract with the store that sells my cookies. I can't just leave that behind. Because there's a fine I have to pay if I break the contract. But, maybe I can't stay in this house anymore Auntie. I don't feel good if I keep hitchhiking. Moreover, all this time I've helped nothing but prepare breakfast."
"Huh, don't be so bad. Auntie's happy you're here. It's safer for you and Alwin. Who says you hitchhiked, Auntie already thinks you're like her own son. Gaza's papacy is also not prohibited. Auntie's piano doesn't let you out of the house."
Mama Hani strictly forbids if Gea wants to get out of there. Then what can Gea do? He can only obey, because it is useless if he remains insistent, of course Gaza will also prohibit as well. Perhaps the best way to go right now is to stay there.

David was still walking around looking at the papers stuck along the road and the poles he passed. Likewise with large billboards that advertise investment companies that are said to make customers' money multiply in a period of less than 3 months. David's dark eyes so recorded the company's office address as well as the phone number listed there.
That day, David went to the investment company and intended to invest all his money to double.
It turns out that when he came to the investment company, the owner of the investment was Yoga, his high school friend who had once been David bully. David was a bit in shock but continued his desire to invest his money.
"Why are you willing to invest your money? Aren't you the son of Mr. Giandratama who owns a big company? I was in shock when I saw you coming to my company. Because usually those who come are new entrepreneurs, traders and district level officials down. You were dumped by your papa?"
The hard satire of Yoga made David clench his hand. If only he did not need to, he would definitely not hold back his emotions. He may be able to directly hit the face of Yoga blindly like in the past.
"Tell me what the conditions are. Don't ask anything irrelevant to what I want to do now. I look around from testimonials that once invested in your company they always make a profit."
"Not everyone makes a profit, some are lucky too."
"But most of it works, right? So, I'm asking you to be able to make my money double."
"If you want that, just ask your papa over there!" pissed Yoga.
David who has lost patience so pull the Yoga collar hard.
"If it can't help, don't support the investment company."
After David removed his hand from Yoga's collar, he left there with a still fiery look. Even when he quit the company, he occasionally swore to Yoga.
Just a few steps away from the Yoga company, there are people who approach it and offer investments that profit greater than what the Yoga company offers. The dark-eyed David immediately invited the man to talk in a better place to talk.
After a conversation that lasted almost an hour. David agreed to invest in the company. The deal was already in place and a sign
the hand of the contract was put on paper.
David came home happily waiting for his money to double in 3 months.

When he rested, there was a male model who approached him. When viewed from his face, the man was very handsome and looked very young. But when the two talked to each other, apparently they were the same age and their conversation felt connected and was like an old friend who met again.
"Haha, I didn't expect it to turn out that you have a humorous soul as well. At first I thought you were a stiff guy and it wasn't easy to talk to other people, Steve."
"Everything, if you look at that person, don't just come from the outside. I hear you're married and have kids. But, if you look around, you're great, you can easily lose weight like a girl," said Steve to Selena.
Selena could only smile and say, "It's good to still look like a girl. That means I'm young,"
"Haha, that's right too. Must be your husband loves you so much huh?" ask Steve again.
"Yes, that's how it is" he answered.
The chat had to stop because Steve had to shoot again.
"When we talk again yeah."
Selena nodded.
After Steve's departure, Selena smiled happily.
"Don't Steve like me" Selena said with confidence. It was as if she had forgotten she had a husband. Even he became his own insignificance with a smile in front of the mirror.
"If Mas David can no longer meet my needs, maybe Steve can be my target" he said again.

Alwin had Gea put to bed in his room. Although tired because Alwin was active all day, Gea felt very happy because she could act as a real mother. Sometimes it feels like everything is just a dream. But looking at Alwin in his room, it turns out everything is real.
Gea took a cold drink in the refrigerator. He closed the refrigerator and drank it.
"You want to drink too?" tawar Gea when he saw Gaza that would open the refrigerator.
Gaza nodded. Gea also brought cold orange drinks to Gaza. Gaza accepted it and immediately gulped the drink.
"How are you feeling today? This is the first time you've been with your son all day" asked Gaza.
Gea smiled back at him. Gea's smile was able to Gaza conclude what was felt by Gea.
