NOT MY MAN OF CHOICE
CHAPTER 6: OTHER WOMEN

"For Mas Alvin, there's a guest downstairs." Mbak Ayu's voice was heard from behind Vera's bedroom door.

It looks like Alvin's got a guest early in the morning, but who? Does he have to come down and see the guests downstairs? But what should he do with his guests? Ah, let us carry out each other's activities, he murmured in his heart.

There was the sound of the door and Alvin's footsteps coming down the stairs. Vera was curious, who is the guest?! It just so happened that he also started going to campus today so he just went downstairs to see his guest Alvin.

Not until the lowest stairs, he could hear the voice of a woman angry and the voice of Alvin who was no less high as well.

He stepped down the stairs to see what was going on.

"Oops!" Vera surprised. He saw Alvin hugging a woman who was crying in his arms.

"He?! Did you marry this woman?!" Instantly the woman pointed at Vera's face while angry.

"Who is he, Vin?" Ask Vera in wonder.

"Gue Carla, Alvin's girlfriend. We've been dating for 3 years, and you've called my guy."

Suddenly the woman named Carla grabbed Vera's hair, Vera did not fight it and only tried to release the jubilant from the woman, while Alvin tried to release Carla's fingers and calm the woman.

A commotion ensued, all of them blaming and getting angry. Vera does not accept being considered a actor, because she also does not want this marriage to happen. So did Alvin who was confused by this chaotic situation.

"STOP! All stop!" Shouted Alvin.

He pulls Carla's arm and takes her out of the house, leaving Vera alone. Vera cried, she was confused angry and disappointed by this unpleasant situation.

Shortly after, Alvin enters the house again and comes to Vera.

"Ver, I'm sorry. I don't know that Carla's going this angry at you."

"Why don't you tell me you have a boyfriend? As if it could be an excuse for us to reject marriage."

"Who can Ver, the problem is Papah doesn't agree I'm dating Carla."

"Why? Yeah at least you say the same to me, so I can anticipate a situation like this."

"Yaudah, I'm sorry, Carla's back too. Now I'm anterin lo to college huh, you want to go to college right? Last morning Papah called he said today to campus. I am anterine..."

"No, I have a driver."

"Supir lo no Ver. Bokap lo divert your driver to become a company driver. So, starting today I'm anter lo to campus "

"Ngga also Ver. Bokap we want us to work together with 1 vehicle. And there's no way it's your car that's carrying it, because I need it more..."

"Anter pick up Carla." Vera cut off Alvin's talk.

"Ver, sorry before, but I beg you not to tell anyone let alone Papah about the events of this morning and any time that intersected with Carla or any woman."

"You mean?! You got a lot of girls?!" Vera looked surprised and angry.

"Ver, we just got to know. Don't score me a macem, and don't set my life. Inget, we got married because we had to!"

"Gue will always remember that, after all LO IS NOT MY MAN OF CHOICE!"

Vera leaves Alvin and rushes out of the house. He stopped the taxi and sat in it. Her tears were dripping, sad and angry with Alvin's words just now.

Getting married by force, not getting married by love, is the reality she has to face. Alvin the playboy was also not the man he wanted to be a husband.

...***...

"Veras! I finally met you too, I miss you."

Vera hugs Elsa, her best friend who she once forgot about hanging out with Nina. He was very sorry for ignoring Elsa, who was very kind to him. Their friendship was tenuous, because Nina often incited Vera not to associate with Elsa who is often said to be 'less slang', 'nerdy' or 'lone girl'.

Vera had told Elsa all her grunts, she did not want to go to campus in a tangled state and puffy eyes, so she decided to go to the house of her best friend, Elsa.

"I'm sorry I sped Nina's talk, until I fell apart because of her."

"But you're okay, aren't you Ver? All that you tell that must be true, I believe the same lo. I know you are a good boy. Nina must want to trap you, I'm sure of that. You don't hang out with rich people anymore, be careful looking for cement."

"Say, I now understand and prefer to meet with you alone."

"Gue is horrifying, after all the more we grow up, the scope of our friendship must be getting smaller because there is a lot to be filtered Ver."

"Sa, I understand now."

"Keep your husband really has a lot of girls?! Crazy doi too."

"Entahlah, who has come home only 1, like there are many others. If every girl comes to my hair, I can bald my head Sa." The laughter of them both broke.
