I'm Not a Choice.
Just guessing!

"I was forced to marry her because of the forced mother and at that time I could not do anything, because she sliced her own veins. Honestly, I was confused between having to keep my promise to my father-in-law, or sacrificing my mother's life." The man deliberately pauses her speech, while Amanda becomes a good listener. " I had to break my promise and chose to help my mother first. Even though I was so angry with my mother, but I could not hate her, she was my mother, the woman who gave birth to me. For that I can't treat him well, especially when I know from papa if mama dare to do that because of the whispers from her mother Nadine." Riyadh is at length.

Amanda can understand that, because she knows Riyadh is in a desperate position, but can Icha understand it? That is still a mystery, given Icha's current mental state. Amanda can only hope, when Icha finds out everything. He can accept it. Otherwise Amanda couldn't have predicted what the woman would be.

He had been so cruelly wounded by his own family, a man he could so much trust, if that trust was again destroyed. What he'll be like. Amanda sure hopes Icha will be okay.

Amanda cares so much for Icha, not because she has pity for Icha, she knows very well, people like Icha don't like being pityed. He also did not care because it was paid dearly by Riyadh.

Amanda cares because she loves Icha. She loves Icha as a sister figure, she loves Icha because of her good nature and what she is. He loves Icha because she deserves to be loved by anyone.

"Don't keep it too long, the sooner he knows, it'll get better. And make sure you keep him from your second wife. That arrogant attitude of his, he could have hurt Icha." Amanda reminded Riyadh.

The man nodded. " I know, for that I have put some people to guard it from a distance. Their presence will not be noticed by Icha. Mama and Nadine couldn't touch him. Even the house I live in today is not known by them, but I have often seen cars that follow me. But the chosen ones can trick them, so that my Icha, stay safe. " Riyadh has no qualms about explaining how detailed he is in keeping Icha with Amanda, because the man knows Amanda can be trusted.

Once again Amanda just nodded. Before the woman decided to go home. Because aman is quite busy today but he still had time to meet with Riyadh to discuss the condition of Icha.

" Oh yes! I hope you won't divorce Icha, because she has fallen in love with you." Riyadh rounded his eyes with his mouth slightly open. I can't believe what he just heard. " If my guess is correct you guys should be easy to do that! Try to do it without telling her, let it all flow and get carried away with the feeling. Because from what I see, Icha would be burdened if she already knew what you were doing for and headed where, no matter how comfortable you are doing it. But his brain had already operated that dark memory. " Next, he left the room. While Riyadh is still silent in its place, thinking again about Amanda's remarks, which may be a hundred percent true, could also be a hundred percent false.

...🥀🥀🥀🥀...

That afternoon Icha was so quiet to be in the room, that he decided to take an afternoon walk in the park near his home. Of course without telling Rista, Mimi and nadia.

In the garden Icha sits not far from a young couple who are mingling love there. Makes the woman think of her husband Riyadh.

It did not take long, the taxi that Icha was riding now stopped in front of his house. Icha immediately paid the taxi fare after that, he went down and stepped into his house. The door opened, making Icha think that if Riyadh was at home, unfortunately as soon as he stepped inside the house, there was no one there. Only buckets and mops were just on the floor.

Shortly after a maid who was on Riyadh's duty to clean the house came out of the bathroom, Icha hid behind a wall, staring at the servant working in silence, until the maid was finished and went home, the woman also did not forget to lock the door from the outside because she did not know if Icha was still inside the house.

After she is left alone, Icha tries to enter the room, unfortunately the door is locked, Icha also searches for the room key in a spare key storage.

Once he found the key he was looking for Icha went straight into the room, then laid his body on their bed. The aroma of the fusion between him and Riyadh was clearly smelled. Makes Icha feel the calmness that she so desperately longs for some time lately.

Until it does not feel Icha was asleep. While at his house his brother and his friends had been dizzy looking for the truth once they knew Icha was not in his room.

Rista wanted to contact Riyadh directly and tell him this but Arga forbade him, the man said words to wait first and did not panic Riyadh. Maybe Icha is walking to the park or maybe he is out buying something, considering Icha out with his wallet.

But until it shows at nine pm Icha does not go home, they would not want to have to go out to find Icha.

And this time they forgot to call Riyadh so panicked. Meanwhile somewhere else. At the home of Icha and Riyadh, the woman was still sleeping so fast that she forgot to turn on the lights.

Riyadh, who had just returned home, turned on some of the lights the rest he left to remain extinguished. After that, he stepped into his room. Without taking off his work clothes Riyadh lay beside Icha. The atmosphere of the room which was just accompanied by a sleeping lamp made Riyadh not aware of the existence of Icha there, his small posture with the body covered in a blanket made Riyadh not aware of it.

But it did not last long, because as soon as Icha's body wriggled while exchanging positions and hugging her waist. Riyadh's closed eyes are now open again. The man immediately grabbed the small remote on the bedside nightstand, then turned on the room's lights.

" Icha."
