I'm Just a Figurant
Ch 66 - Friend

"Then why? What does Diana have to do with your wishes? Isn't it good you met Diana? Can you be friends with him? Your High School time isn't close enough. Now you can get close."

Too surprised to hear Alex's explanation made my tears flow more and more. Wicked You Al, really evil!!

"What do you want, baby? Don't confuse me. Hem?" Alex covered my face. Removing the tears flowing down my cheeks. I was still crying, not answering her question.

Alex held me in his arms. He patted my back.

"Don't leave me. Stay by my side. Don't go anywhere..." Alex's voice seemed to shake. He was also filled with emotion. But even so, I was not affected. I'm still upset about Alex's decision to keep us close.

"Why should his house be close?"

"Our house and Diana's? Isn't it obvious? So I can take care of you both. Diana is pregnant too. It's a pity that no one's guarding her."

Alex's honesty didn't make my crying subside, but my crying got louder.

"But why should we be close?! You evil Al! You are really evil! I hate You!" I thrashed, trying to get myself out of his arms. But Alex tightened his embrace.

"Yes I know you hate me. But your hatred won't make me let you go. You must stay by my side Khansa!"

"Basic selfish man!! Your egoist!! Wicked!! Selfish!!" I was banging Alex's body. But the man still did not flinch.

Selfish man!! He wanted to have the two of us without daring to take off any of us. He wanted to make the two of us good friends. A truly selfish man!! He did not think of our feelings!! All he thinks about is himself. I hate you Al!!

Alex still grabbed me while patting my back. He gave himself up to beat me up without fighting back. I cried while beating her body. For a long time it made me tired. The crying turned into a snooze. And the stuffing turned into silence. Fatigue evaporates emotions make me sleepy. Before I flew into dreamland, I heard Alex say...

"I'm sorry, honey... Patience with me... Stay by my side... Don't leave me..."

I felt Alex kiss me, but I kept pretending to be asleep. My heart still has not forgiven him.

"Darling, wakeup. I'm leaving... Cup... Cup... Cup..." I keep pretending to sleep.

"Yes, sleep well, cup..." Alex's last kiss before he leaves for work.

After Alex died I cried again. I looked at his words. The reason Alex made us close together was so she could keep us both together was because we were both pregnant.

I'm trying to understand Alex's position. He wants to be responsible for us. Maybe he wants to be fair. But still his attitude like that makes me hurt.

Should I accept this condition? Accept Diana being near me? Accept Alex's advice to be friends with Diana? Understanding Alex's current position? Why would Alex want to be understood but not try to understand our position?

Ddddrr... Ddddrr... Dddrr...

My phone was shaking from now on. I keep letting it. Maybe Winda called me. Ask the same thing according to Alex's orders.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

My bedroom door is knocking on someone. It was impossible for Alex to do so, as the man never knocked on the door before entering.

"Yes, come in."

Chequek. The door opened slowly. I saw Ma'am Asih come into my room.

"What's wrong, Mommy?"

"Sorry Madam, under there is a woman who claims to be a friend of the Madam. Do we need to open the door?"

"My friend? What's name?"

"That's what I met yesterday in front of the house. That beautiful lady. Newly married but pregnant. If it's not wrong, it's Princess D..."

DEG

My heart feels like it's gonna fall out. What's Diana here for? Does Diana know about my relationship with Alex?

"I mean?"

"Did he look angry? Or how?"

"No Madam. He even looks happy. Do we need to open the door for her?"

"Y-yeah..."

I got up and started washing my face. Change clothes and dress up a little. I don't know what Diana's purpose was here for. But I still have to face it.

I took a deep breath before stepping down. Prepare myself.

In the living room I saw Diana sitting by herself. Seeing me coming he stood up. His face looks bright.

"Khanza..." Diana hugged me, I returned her embrace. "I really didn't think we'd be neighbors. Alex sent me here. It's okay I'm messing around?"

"Y-yeah it's okay." Alex really wants us to be friends. The proof is that he sent Diana here. He wants his legal wife and his wife to be friends.

I told ART to prepare some snacks for Us. After that we started talking. I don't know why Diana is becoming more friendly now. He used to dislike me so much. Maybe time will make him more mature.

"How many weeks is your pregnancy Sha?"

"The 26th week..."

"Gee... Just 2 weeks with me Sha. I'm now on the 28th week. What about your pregnancy? No complaints, though? If I am, severe nausea in early pregnancy. Now it's not..." Diana told me a long story. My mind wanders everywhere.

Diana's gestational age was only a two-week gap with my pregnancy. They were married for four months. That means they got married because Diana got pregnant first. Just like I experienced.

Alex... I was expecting two women at about the same time. How powerful?

Ah yes, for my case it's not entirely Alex's fault. It was my fault for being present in their midst.

Ddrr... Ddrr... Ddrr...

My phone is back vibrating. I think it must be Winda. I decided to ignore it. But the more ignored, instead of stopping but my phone even more vibrating continuously.

"Your phone shakes tuh Sha. Not in the lift?"

"Ah yes..." I took my phone. It turns out a new number. I lifted.

"Hello, assalamu'alaikum..."

"Why isn't the phone picked up?! What are you doing Khansa? Send your picture now. Or if not, I'll go home right now. Don't worry me!" I heard Alex's voice sounding emotion on the other end. I thought I'd throw my phone in right then and there. I should be the one getting angry, not him.

I turned off the call. Other than being annoyed at Alex, I'm afraid that call was known to Diana who was sitting not far from me.

"Who is Sha from? Your husband, huh?"

"Eh, um..."

"Thank God you Sha have a caring husband. Don't waste it."

"Yes. Oh yes Di, can I have a photo together?? I have to report to him..."

"Geez, you guys are so sweet. Let's go take pictures." We started taking pictures. Then I sent the photo to Alex's number. And typing the message, I was with Diana. Didn't you tell me to be friends with him? Satisfied?!
