MARRIED A CRUEL MAN
Episode 47 Unrequited Love

Lana shut herself in her room making Fatma feel very worried.

"Lana, can Mother come in? you have not eaten, you will be sick" cried Mother Fatma from behind the door.

Lana immediately wiped her tears and quickly opened the door of her room.

"Oh Allah, why are you Lana? crying out, huh?" ask Mother Fatma.

"Lana's okay, Mother," said Lana.

Fatma pulled Lana's hand back into her room and sat down on Lana's bed. Fatma grasped Lana's hand gently.

"Lana, Mommy knows who you are. You wouldn't cry like this if you didn't have a big problem. Try the same story Mother, what's the matter?" ask Mother Fatma.

"This is not a big problem, but a matter of the Mother's heart," said Lana.

"Heart problems? meaning?"

"Lana likes a man and Mommy also knows that this is the first time Lana is interested in men, but the man does not like Lana" said Lana.

Fatma smiled and stroked Lana's head affectionately.

"Oh God, so the story of Mother's child is heartbroken huh? who is the man who has steadfastly hurt this beautiful child Mother," seduced Mother Fatma.

"Mother whatever the hell, again sad also even meledekin," exclaimed Lana pouting.

Fatma pulled Lana's body into her arms and kissed her head.

"Who is the guy you like?" ask Mother Fatma.

"Sister Alex, Mother."

"Well, Alex's son who rarely talks that and stingy smile?"

Lana nodded her head and it made Fatma smile.

"Why don't you like the same Nak Thomas or Nak Niko, they are both also handsome-looking really," teased Mother Fatma.

Lana released Fatma's embrace and again Lana pouted.

"Well, they're both annoying men Mother let alone Kak Thomas is really very annoying and Lana also prayed that Lana is not a match with Kak Thomas but a match with Kak Alex," ketus Lana's.

"Lana, the soul mate in the hands of God do not push yourself too much because someone who is not our soul mate, no matter how strong we pursue it then we will never get it" cried Mother Fatma.

Lana fell silent, it was also true what the mother said.

"Yes, now you eat first."

Lana nodded her head and went to the dining table to eat.

"Oh yes, Mommy can transfer money from our regular donors so tomorrow you accompany your mother to the market to buy your sister's school equipment."

"Ready, mother."

During this one year Alex, Thomas, and Niko did often visit the orphanage to just play with the children of the orphanage.

The next day...

Alex had woken up early in the morning and was neat with his work suit, if you look around Alex indeed deserves to be a boss instead of an employee.

"Well, Mama's son is very handsome" exclaimed Mama Linda.

"Yes dong, Ma."

"Come, breakfast first."

"Thomas and Papa where?" ask Alex.

"Thomas is still sleeping, while Papa is sunbathing in the front yard" said Mama Linda.

"Bismillah, hopefully I'll be accepted to work there" murmured Alex excitedly.

Moments later, Alex's motorbike arrives at the company and Alex is shocked to see so many people applying for jobs.

"Geez, that's a lot," murmured Alex.

Alex joined in line and jostled there, really struggle Alex is very big he just knew it turns out applying for the job is really heavy struggle.

After his cover letter was submitted, Alex waited outside the building for some fresh air. Soon, a luxury car pulled up in front of the company.

A crossbreed man got out of the car heavily escorted by his bodyguard, the man was Jhon.

"Looks like he owns this company," inner Alex.

Alex gulped down the mineral water he bought by the roadside and sighed softly. Until the time went very quickly, it was time for Alex to enter the interview room.

Alex walked casually towards Jhon, not looking nervous in Alex because Alex was used to facing people.

"Good day, sir!" exclaim Alex.

"Please sit down."

Jhon looked at Alex's appearance from top to bottom, Jhon frowned. Alex's appearance is very different from the appearance of people who apply for other jobs. John saw that Alex was as authoritative as a boss.

"Where have you worked?" ask Jhon.

"I have worked at PT.ALTOM COMPANY" Alex said.

Jhon took a look at Alex's cover letter. "Open PT.ALTOM is now bankrupt?"

"Yes sir, it's been a long time since I have a job anymore" Alex said.

"What's your job there?" ask Jhon.

"I'm just an ordinary employee, sir," Alex lied.

"Ordinary employee? are you serious? but I see you're a very smart man."

"No sir, you praise me too much. I'm just an ordinary employee" Alex said.

Jhon kept asking Alex and Alex could answer Jhon's questions very easily.

John smiled and reached out to Alex. "Congratulations, you are welcome to work here" cried Jhon.

"Seriously sir, am I welcome to work here?" alex did not believe it.

"Yes, and tomorrow you can start working" said Jhon.

"Thank God, thank you sir."

Alex was so happy, she walked out of the interview room with a big smile. He really did not believe that in the end he could be accepted to work there.

Alex decided to go straight home, he wanted to quickly tell the house about the good news.

Unlike Alex who is feeling happiness, Stevi is currently in the hospital because her mammary condition is declining.

"Mi, get well quickly, don't worry Stevi. Stevi was sad to see such a sickly mother" Stevi exclaimed with tears.

"Don't cry baby, you have to be a strong and independent woman because after all your mother will leave you too" said Mami Nia.

"Mommy don't talk like that, Stevi's not ready to lose my mom. Stevi is not ready to stay alone" Stevi said with tears flowing.

Nia rubbed Stevi's tears, and hugged her very tightly.

"But you have to be a strong woman, don't be weak and crybaby, mami is sure you can go through it without mami and sooner or later you must be ready because mami does not know when God will take away the life of mami," exclaimed Mami Nia with tears.

Stevi was getting more and more in the arms of her mother, her heart was so very sick. Let alone left by her mother, just imagining it has made her heart feel pained.
