I'm Just a Figurant
Ch 73 - Meet the Ex

We continued our journey to Surabaya. The closer to the city, Alex's expression grew more serious. I don't know what he's thinking? Is the performance of the Surabaya branch really severe? Until Alex behaves like that?

The journey from the city of Prob*lingg* to the city of Surabaya is taken within one and a half hours.

The closer I got to my office, the more my feelings were pounding. Feelings of longing for the work atmosphere in my shoes. I want to feel like I'm back at work. But Alex wouldn't allow it.

The car stopped right in front of a familiar building. The building I'm looking for sustenance in. A building full of memories.

"Let's go in." Alex patted my arm. Taken me from the daydreams.

"Ehm, not Mas... I'm just here..."

"Why? Don't you miss your friends?"

"Let me tell Sizil to come here..."

"Related to go in? Maybe you could meet your ex."

"Huh?" I looked at Alex in confusion. The man's sight seemed illegible.

"Well, you better not have to come in. I'll get my business done as soon as possible, and then we go home. I'll get Sizil here, you wait here, cup..." Alex kissed my lips at a glance.

"If you need anything, call Mr. Sukri. Don't wander around, okay?"

"Yes." Yeah." Alex came back to kiss me on the forehead before it passed from my sight.

Actually I wanted to come in and meet my friends, but I'm too embarrassed to do it. I'm afraid they're wondering about my pregnancy and my status. Alex never published me as his wife, so I don't want to overstep his decision.

"Non, I'll buy cigarettes first. Buy it not far away Non, it's in the store front." Mr. Sukri spoke to me in a condescending tone.

"Oh yes sir, please. I'm not going anywhere, sir, so enjoy your time."

"Yes, thank you." Then Mr. Sukri got out of the car and walked towards the minimarket across the street.

After the death of Mr. Sukri, I again pay attention to my old office. A lot of faces I know are walking in and out of the office. I want to say hello to them, but I'm still holding back.

Suddenly my eyes saw the egg seller roll not far from where I was. It might only be about fifteen meters away.

Kruuukk... Kruuukk... Kruukkkkp...

My stomach sings cheerfully. Either because of pregnancy or because of my own factors, but obviously since pregnancy, I really like egg rolls. Wherever I meet that snack, I will definitely buy it.

I looked around. Mr. Sukri did not come. And there's no one I know who's hanging around in front of the office. Is it okay if I go out for a while to buy that snack?

Not willing to delay any longer, I finally got out of the car and approached the merchant.

"Bang, the egg rolls 20 skewers yes."

"Ready Ma'am." I waited patiently. The smell of egg rolls makes me hungry. I can't wait to eat...

GREPS

I feel like my arm is being held by someone. I turned around and looked at a face I knew very well.

"Truly You're Sha... I thought it was wrong, but it turns out you're Sha..."

Andre stood in front of me. His face looked very happy and moved. But the expression did not last long. Dark clouds instantly shrouded his face as soon as his eyes saw my belly bulging.

The radiance of heartache, disappointment and sadness was very visible on his face. Andre's body seemed to tremble withstanding disappointment...

I was shocked to hear that voice. I immediately turned around and saw Alex, Sizil and some of my office friends coming closer to us.

I looked at Alex with fear. Alex's face looked eerie. Dark aura seemed to surround him. Alex's eyes seemed focused on the hand Andre was holding. Immediately I thinned Andre's hand and walked towards Alex. Trying to prevent the man from approaching Andre.

"M-mas... I-I met my friends..."

I arrived beside Alex and grabbed his arm. But Alex brushed my hand off and ignored it. He kept walking closer to Andre. I was so nervous to see it like that. I'm afraid Alex can't hold back his emotions.

Alex arrives right in front of Andre. The two men face each other. Alex put both his hands in his pants pocket. Staring at Andre from top to bottom with a proud attitude. The feeling of dislike is very visible from the look of his face.

Andre initially also looked at Alex with a dislike look. But once he recognized the figure of the man he was staring at, Andre's attitude became polite. Like the attitude of a subordinate to a superior.

"Andre right?"

"I Sir." Andre looked polite, as he knew the person he was facing right now was his superior. His right hand is the director.

"No need to be so formal. We're outside the office now. I'm not your boss." Alex looked at Andre still with a look of anger, but he tried to hide that feeling by saying it as calmly as possible.

"Yes?" Andre looked confused.

"It's yours, right? I give it back." Alex took something out of his pants pocket. A red velvet box was sticking out in his hand. He pushed the box against Andre's chest with great emphasis until Andre's body was pushed back.

"Give it to another woman, because MY WIFE doesn't need that kind of stuff." Alex emphasized the words "wife" to make the people who were there surprised, including Andre.

"In the future, I hope there's no need to see this kind of interaction again. Don't ever bother my wife. This is my last warning." Alex approached and whispered to Andre. His words sounded deep and full of threat.

Finished saying that, Alex immediately pulled my hand. Leaving Andre who was still standing. Trying to understand what just happened.

"Come on." Alex dragged me into the car. After making sure I was safe, he got out of the car and talked to Mr. Arif, my former BM.

There were quite a number of employees in the parking lot, so the scene became a free spectacle for them. Many of the faces were still unable to believe what they had just seen.

I watched Andre who was still standing. The man stood up while holding a red velvet box. A box containing his gift ring. His figure looked defeated and so pitiful. I'm sad to see Andre like that.

The question is, why is the box on Alex? Why did Alex know that the box was a gift from Andre? Since when did Alex know everything?

"Sizil, you're coming with me. Sit in front." I heard Alex give the order. A few minutes later the car door opened. Alex came in and sat down next to me, followed by Sizil who was sitting next to the driver.

"Saturprise..." My voice choked to know my ex-boy was sitting not far from me. I miss him so much.

"Mother..." Sizil looked over timidly. Seemed a sense of happiness on his face because he met me, as well as fear because of the existence of Alex.

"Sizil, get the hand sanitizer in the drawer in front of you." Alex's orders.

"Ba-good Sir..." Sizil with trembling hands searched for a hand sanitizer and handed it to Alex.

"It-it's Sir..."

"Thank you" said Alex. "Get your hand." This time Alex gave me orders. I obediently thrust my hand. I'm scared of Alex, really scared.

"Which part of it did the br*hsek touch?! Really k*parat. How dare you touch my wife!!" Alex's voice looked vengeful, while his hands seemed busy flushing my hands with the hand sanitizer liquid, as if the touch was carrying various deadly viruses.

"Khansa, I forgive you for not keeping the number. But once again I know you're in contact with him, I'll throw him into P*p*a. Understand You?!"
