I'm Not a Choice.
Replacing Mimi

" Yes." Yeah." Icha replied with a slight tremble, then crouched down to pick up the files that accidentally fell. " This is the file" he said again while handing the file to Nadia. And just as Icha wanted to turn around leaving the place, Nadia immediately clasped her wrist.

" I'm sorry Cha! Can you explain this design?" Nadia asked carefully.

" Why should I, Nad? this isn't Mimi's job." Icha who was confused instead of answering instead asked back, to Nadia because she knew they had divided their respective tasks.

" Yes I know, but the owner of this company, is the guy we met at the cafe yesterday and Mimi was too scared that she couldn't make it to this meeting, if Mimi and I just leave, we'll have to pay compensation or we'll get in trouble." Obviously Nadia." Please Cha! you don't want me and mimi to go to jail."

Of course Icha doesn't want her two best friends to be in trouble, but she's too scared, not to mention her body's reaction." Cha I promise everything will be fine! there won't be anything bad in there, come on. I'm right next to you." Nadia is still trying to persuade her best friend while pulling Icha's hand inside the meeting room, "Ta-ta but Ay aah.." Nadia coded Mimi to meet Dad! he knew Icha was afraid, so he made father the reason.

As soon as Icha entered the room, he seemed to have his own charm, so the view of Riyadh was not separated from him.

Icha sat down beside Nadia, He lowered his head while continuing to squeeze and twist his fingers, Neutralizing the fear that began to take over his body.

"Sorry can we start the meeting?" Asked Nadia, Riyadh and his Assistant immediately invited them.

" Please." Riyadh.

" Come on Cha, you can." Nadia clasped Icha's hand! he can feel icha's cold, sweaty hands.

Icha, who had no choice, began to introduce herself even in stammering ways. Before he explained the contents of the design of the design! his gaze remained lowered, not moving at all from the beam of files before him, as if his body would be slashed if he raised his gaze. It's overrated but it's been a little better than it was a few years ago! where only her room is the safest place for her. Although Icha's speech was a little stammered but slowly but surely Icha could explain all the Designs without looking at Riyadh and his Assistant.

Finishing the presentation of the design results, Icha immediately gulped down the white water in front of him.

" I love your Design, I'll work with you if you go directly on this project." Said Riyadh while pointing at Icha "How? do you agree." Icha's design was good but the way they presented and preparedness for the project failed them, the curiosity of Riyadh towards the women in front of him, led him to agree to their cooperation.

" Yes we agree." Nadia answered making Icha's eyes glare at her. It could be Nadia accepted this offer without discussion first with him, even though Icha had hoped the design was rejected! but he was wrong and his best friend further exacerbated the situation.

" In two days, we'll meet back in my room to sign the cooperation agreement." Riyadh said so to the point.

"Well, then excuse me." Said Icha, he immediately ran out without tidying up some files and his laptop. If he stayed longer in the room, his fear would overflow.

" I'm sorry my friend! Thank you." Thank you." Nadia reached out to shake hands with Riyadh and his Assistant after cleaning up the laptop and files Icha left behind.

" No problem." Riyadh returned Nadia's hand as well as Dimas. Nadia stepped out of the meeting room followed by Riyadh and his Assistant.

Once in the lobby Nadia saw Dad, Mimi and Icha were sitting waiting for her. Icha's hand tightly grasped the half-living bottle of mineral water.

" Take some more medicine." Nadia asked, Mimi nodded. The drug Nadia means here is a sedative.

" How is the cooperation! got." Ask Mimi.

" Yes! and Icha is in charge."

" WHAT." Mimi and Icha's father said simultaneously.

" Sad_"

" I know Dad." Nadia cut off the father's words, because she knew where the conversation was going from her friend's father. " It's possible that this way Icha could be better."

" We've discussed it at home! Icha needs a break." Mimi and Rifky's father nodded as they stepped out of the company.

......🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀......

In the afternoon after finishing work Riyadh returned to the main mansion. As requested by her mother. Actually Riyadh was so lazy to return to the main mansion, but how else, his mother continued to whine to her cousin and inevitably Riyadh also had to return to this mansion.

After parking his car, Riyadh stepped inside the mansion. " You're finally home! mama almost made news of losing a child, if you don't come home today." Her mother joked a little, even though it sounded so crisp in her son's ear.

" How are you." Ask Riyadh. Ignoring the woman's beak, Riyadh hugged and kissed both cheeks of the woman whose full name was Megaina Syafrina.

" Mama's good news." He replied that the woman still looks so beautiful, although some of her facial skin has begun to grow wrinkles. " Iky's not coming."

" No, he went straight home." Mega rounded her lips, slightly nodding. " Papa where's Ma?"

" In the back garden, used to enjoy old age again."

" I went to papa first ya ma! I have something to talk about with papa."

" Yes there! mama's going to the kitchen for dinner for us." Riyadh went to see his father in the back garden while his mother resumed her intention to make dinner for them. Today he had a dinner with one of his best friends.

This is how Mega, as soon as she heard her son was coming home, she must have invited one of her best friends who had a daughter to dinner together, her only goal was one, captivating her son. Although all this time the results always failed but Mega continued to try so that his son quickly married.

...🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀...

Once home from the company MEGAGEMILANG CROP. Icha immediately ran into his room. Locking yourself in a room is nothing new to Raicha. It would be strange if he came home okay.

" When will Icha be like this." Rifky's father was so sad to see his daughter's fate. Rifky's father and his two best friends are currently sitting in the family room.

" Just pray, yeah! God must have had a wonderful plan for our Icha." Nadia said, strengthening Rifky's father.

"When you want! every day I pray for him, but it feels all in vain! it's been ten years but why Icha hasn't healed yet."It felt like the middle-aged man wanted to give up on his own daughter's condition. " If you leave later who will take care of Icha." Further again.

" You can't talk about it." Tegur Mimi and Nadia, but the man ignored them and got out of his seat." Where are you going." Mimi asked, but only answered with a head.

" I'll go to the room first, if you want lunch! the food at the table is ready! Call Icha too." The man then stepped into his room. Nadia and Mimi just kept quiet, looking at each other. Before Mimi's voice disturbed the silence of the room.

" Ko I feel like you're hiding something from us huh!."

" We? No. Lo prepared father, son is not a brother nor is it! the kepedean lo." Nadia said as usual always invites her hands to collaborate on Mimi's head.

" Yes yes! it's up to you! I want to eat, think a lot about making my stomach rumble." Mimi said shamelessly.

" Woii this isn't Lo's house, ashamed of a little donk." Nadia yelled a little but ignored Mimi.

Nadia went to Icha's room and she would invite her best friend to have lunch together as requested by Rifky's father.
