I'm Just a Figurant
Ch 29 - Alex, Where Are You?

That night Andre forced me to drive him. But I refused on the grounds that I was carrying my own vehicle.

"Tomorrow, don't bring Sha's car. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Eh no need to. Later ngerepotin."

"It's not exactly ngerepotin. If you bring this gini car that makes me bother. I can't take you home, can I."

"I'm not a child. I can go home by myself."

"Don't do it Sha. I'm your boyfriend, I'm responsible for you. It's in there, I'll follow you from behind."

"No need to..."

"It's in there."

"Mom... I'm with Mom, right?" Suddenly Sizil came over. "Mom went home alone, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I'm nginep at Mom's. I'm going home to the boarding house, ma'am. There are no friends."

"Oh yaudah, come in." I told Sizil to get in the car. "Mas, there is already a Nizil who accompanies me. You don't have to follow me." I said to Andre.

"But Sha..."

"I'm fine, Mom. I'll go home first." Andre seemed to want to hold my head, but I immediately dodged and got into the car. I opened the glass to say goodbye again.

"I'll go home first. Thank you for today."

"Ehm yeah, take good care of Sha. Arrive at the contract, call ya."

"Yes, it's."

"Sir Andre is handsome, we go first. Dad Dad..." Sizil waved his hand in reply with Andre's flat smile.

I drove forward, splitting the hustle and bustle of Surabaya.

"Mom?"

"Hem?"

"Dear mother is not the same Mr Andre?"

"Why do you ask Zil?"

"Just ask me anyway."

"You think?" I asked back. Want to know what other people think about our relationship that has not been this corn.

"No. I don't love Andre."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. I see, there's no dear look in Mom's eyes for her. Uh Mom, if you don't love me, why would you accept her anyway?"

"Yet, little children don't need to know. Just sit sweet, okay?"

"Huh, stingy. Mom, don't forget the snack. I can't sleep without a snack."

"Geez this kid. Outside the office you've been I've considered my own sister, but in the office don't forget about your targets, got it?"

"Oh my goodness, Mother... Just got out of the office, got another target, another target... Yes Ma, yes... Put de milingnah again, but it is cemenin ya ma'am, let cepet target customers."

"Replacement. If I keep you going, the others will be envious. You spoiled child." I pinched Sizil's nose with anxiety.

Sizil is like my own brother. We are five years old, but We are close like a sister when outside the office and back to being superiors and subordinates when already in the office. We never broke those rules.

One kilo before reaching the contract, I stopped by the nearest mini market and freed Sizil to buy a snack. When I finished I drove my car to the rented house.

The higher the position, the higher the homebase allowance, meal money, salary and job allowance.

The rented house that I currently occupy is quite good. Minimalist model with two floors. Located in the middle to upper residential area in the city of Surabaya. The rental price reaches 50 million per year, and all of that is funded by the company.

Working in this company made me save a lot. From the savings I managed to renovate Dad's house and also took a car loan. I also bought a house in my town. Counting I invested the house even though I didn't occupy it.

When I look at my condition now, I am very grateful. My family's economy has changed drastically. It's all because of Alex.

Alex is paying for my school. Alex gave me the chance to go to college for free. Alex paved my way to change my fate. Alex did it all, I'm just a perp.

Alex... Where's You? It's been almost 10 years we haven't met. Miss you...

"Mom, the snacks I put in the refrigerator." Sizil's voice broke my daydream.

"Y-yes Zil. Put the real one."

"Ih Mother daydreams huh? What the hell is Mom?"

"Nothing. Children are forbidden to know." I'm mentowel his forehead.

I parked the car in the garage and went inside the house followed by Sizil behind me.

Sizil put a snack in the refrigerator and began to change clothes. Sizil often stayed at my place, so he already considered my place like his own home.

He also transported some of his belongings to my place such as clothes, toiletries and makeup equipment.

"Not bathing Zil?"

"Lazy Ma'am."

"Oh my goodness, a pretty boy is lazy to take a shower. Yes, I took a shower first."

"Yes, Mom."

I clean my body from the sweat that sticks all day in the body. I looked at my face in the mirror.

The more my age grows. There will be a time when this body and face will begin to age and shrivel. I am 27 years old now, but why is it still not in my head to get married? What exactly am I waiting for? Does my heart wait for Alex? Wish there would be a miracle for both of us?

Remembering Alex again makes me sad. While there is Sizil outside, I do not want to drag on in grief. I immediately finished my shower and changed into a clean shirt.

"Yuhh... Seriously yes... Mother's appearance in the same office at home is completely different 180 degrees. Find clothes that really dong Bu. This is not a fashionable dress."

"Ngapain fashionable-fashion indeed Zil. It's just getting some sleep anyway."

"Murray... Sleeping should be beautiful, too. I am looking for a funny nightgown. This is my grandmother's taste, ma'am..." Sizil looked at my appearance with a horrified look.

"It's important it's comfortable to make Zil sleep." I'm wearing oversized clothes and pants. I think this dress is very comfortable to sleep in.

I picked up my glasses and slept on the sofa in the living room. While Sizil seemed busy eating snacks while holding the TV remote. Sizil's gaze was still focused on me.

"Mom, seriously I asked. Are you not worried Mr. Andre will illfeel see the appearance of Mother like this? Even at home, women should be beautiful..."

"Beautiful if lazy shower is also free Zil." I insinuate that Sizil rarely takes a bath. The young woman laughed, not seeming offended by my words.

"Mom, answer my question, dong. Don't you worry about Andre turning to another woman?"

"It's okay. That means he doesn't really like me. I'm the real one like this. My appearance in the office was only polished because of job obligations. That's not the real me. I'm not comfortable with those clothes."

"But my mother is beautiful. Seriously. Mother's face is very sweet plus ayu again. Mom's body is also tall and slender. Dear Mom if not treated properly..."

"I've taken care of him, baby, for example, with a shower. Not like someone, who looks beautiful but rarely takes a bath."

"Yeah ma'am, in the ingetin again."

Sizil. His mouth seemed busy chewing snacks while his hands were moving the TV channel. I let Sizil do anything at will. I picked up my phone and opened my High School Alumni Group. Hope to find something there.

Unable to find anything, I switched to opening Diana's social media account. It seems ordinary, the Princess looks very beautiful charming. I looked at Diana's face while being amazed.

Reasonable... It's only natural that Alex used to cry about breaking up with her. Diana's beauty was perfect and deadly. There is no man in the world who would not be heartbroken by it, including Alex.

Alex... Alex... Where's You? I miss you so much.

Happy Reading 😊

NB :

Haha, I've read comments before. Many say Andre is more handsome than Alex? 😅

Sorry if it doesn't meet expectations. I didn't change their visuals at all. Alex, Khansa, Diana in her teens equals the visuals of the present. There's just a new visual, Andre.

It is not wrong Alex if his teenage years are more handsome than his adult life 🤧🤧. But Khansa's heart is only for Alex, just like ErKa's heart, except for Alex a 🥺🤧

Enough so, thank kaseeehh 😂😂😂
