I'm Just a Figurant
Ch 50 - I Don't Want to Marry You

Alex was silent at my words. I glanced at a glance. His knuckles were holding the steering wheel. He doesn't seem to like hearing my words.

"alright. I know you're not gonna make this easy." Alex looked at me. A sly smile slumped on his lips. "But you know, I won't stop until I reach my goal."

I got winded at Alex's words. Is he going to force me? Kidnap me and force me to do the wedding? Where is this guy's brain? He should be happy because I'm not holding him accountable. I will not disturb his home life. Why would Alex make it this complicated?

"Hello Winda. About my request yesterday. You don't have to look for him. I've found her. Yeah, he's right next to me now." Alex glanced at me while smiling infuriatingly.

"Oh yeah, can pregnant women travel by plane? Emm, for her pregnancy is already big enough. Should I get permission from the doctor first? Hem, okay. Then I have to go alone."

"Sir, you should come here soon. There's a job for you. Book tickets now. I don't want to hear excuses. In two hours you should be here. Whatever way. Understood?!"

I heard Alex calling. I don't know who's on the phone. After calling, he faced me.

"Where do you live?"

"It's none of your business."

"Then I'll take you where I want to go." Alex whistled a little. Geez, I really want to scratch his face. Men are shameless. Already have a wife and prospective children as well, still dare to invite other women to marry. Does he think I will accept his invitation straight away?!

And why is the response like that? Why does Alex look so relaxed? What plans are being drawn up this time?!

"Seriously won't tell me where you live?" His voice sounds cheerful. I don't want to answer. "Well, I'll really take you where I want to be."

Alex started the car. His lips were unceasingly whistling. It seems that my refusal had no effect on him.

He drives casually. Fifteen minutes later, Alex suddenly stopped the car at one of the five-star hotels in the city of Malang. I looked at him in surprise.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sleep."

"Huh?"

"I'm tired. Let's get down."

"No way."

"You want me to carry it again? I don't mind anyway..." Alex relaxed his shoulders.

"What the hell do you want?!"

"Married you."

"But I don't want to. Why is it still maksa?"

"Because there's that kid." Alex pointed at the child in my stomach.

"But I don't love you..."

"Certain why? I married you because of that kid. Not because of the others."

The sting of heartache burned my chest. I know Alex doesn't love me. But he didn't have to say that clearly.

"I still don't want to."

"Don't force me to take it from you." Alex said in a deep tone. There was a threat in every word. It was unimaginable that he had actually taken this child from me.

"If I marry you, then what about Diana and her child?"

"What happened to Diana? He'll be fine."

Geez, I don't understand Alex's thinking anymore. Why did he become such a man? Didn't she think about Diana's feelings? What if Diana knew We were married and were looking forward to the birth of Our children?

He's really not the Alex I know. He was like a man with no conscience. All he thought about was how he got what he wanted.

"Let's get down."

"I don't want to."

"Don't force me to carry you. Or do you like me carrying?" Huh, this guy really sucks!!

"Take me home." I said with a ketus. Alex smiled with satisfaction.

"Should have said from earlier. We don't have to go out like this." Alex grinned, wanting to wipe the grin off his face by scratching it.

With a heavy heart I tell you my boarding address. Along the way we were silent. I feel Alex watching me. But I don't want to see it.

Kruuukk... Crew... Kruuukk...

From the corner of my eye I saw Alex's body shaking. I looked at the man. How annoying I was to see him trying to hold back a laugh.

"You hungry?" he said in a calm voice. But he could not hide the amused tone in his voice.

I don't want to answer. It's too embarrassing.

"What do you want to eat? Is there any food you want to eat?" I still don't answer. My face was flushed like a boiled crab. My baby is really bad about food.

I turned my eyes along the way. Seeing the five neatly lined merchants selling a wide variety of food made me gulp with great difficulty.

Suddenly Alex stops the car right in front of the street vendors.

"Wanna eat here?"

"Hem." I don't care about prestige anymore. My baby was screaming hunger.

Alex got out of the car and went around it. He opened the car door for me. I don't know why I feel so flattered.

"Come on." Alex took my hand and held it. My heart is pounding incoherently.

Degs... Degs... Degs...

Khansa!! Don't lull. He's a man's husband!! You can't love her!!

Having such thoughts made me immediately pull out his hand. I went ahead of him and started ordering various kinds of food.

I saw Alex stunned. A few moments later, he started following me.

I ordered three heavy meals and a variety of snacks. He looked at me in amazement.

"Would you eat it all?"

"Hem."

"Don't eat too much. Your stomach will hurt."

"If I eat less, my stomach will hurt."

"Are you used to eating like this?" I didn't answer the question. I sat in the plastic chair that the merchant had provided.

"Eat here, ma'am?"

"Yes sir."

Alex was sitting in front of me. He looks at me fixedly. I didn't return his gaze. I'm afraid my heart will waver again.

"Did he eat that much like this?"

"Hem."

I'm trying to ignore Alex. It's dangerous to be close to this guy. I was afraid my heart was weak and broken again. Alex still looks at me. Soon after, he picked up his cell phone and called someone.

"In, please pack my clothes. There will be a Willa who comes to take. Me? I still have business. Later if you want to go back to Jakarta, ask for interracial Mami first yes. After all the business was done, I went back there too. Hem, yeah. You take good care of yourself too."

And the call is closed. Alex is calling Diana. My heart somehow hurts. How dirty is my heart? Though Alex was calling his legal wife, but why was it that I was hurt?

I turned my mind around by devouring food in plain sight. Food made my mood better...

"Slowly eat it." Alex rubbed food on my lips. I feel stung. I immediately shook off his hands and distanced my body.

"I-I can do it myself..." I wiped my lips haphazardly. I feel like an affair.

Alex's legal wife is at home while I'm now with her. I really became the third person. Become a thorn in the relationships of others.

I finished my food. I need to fill the energy to argue with this man. An hour later, I've spent it all, I'm staring at Alex. Trying to strengthen myself so as not to falter.

"Alex, I really want to talk seriously."

"I'm listening."

"I don't want to marry you. Please don't force me."
