Not the usual Cinderella
Chapter 26

I didn't want to take Joan from Estherlita by saying that to the mysterious man I didn't even know her name.

I just feel sorry for that guy who probably loved Estherlita so much. Better Estherlita be with the man than with Joan who is clearly a striped man.

Joan is indeed very stunning, no one can match her good looks. Although the man was also close to approaching, I did not know what kind of complicated relationship they were in.

Along this road I purposely walked. A lot of people are milling around, I feel a little free here.

Suddenly, the car stopped beside me. This time I wasn't too scared of him. I'm sure he had a reason to meet me, and it concerned his heart.

It was a pity for this man, his love clapping one hand. I wonder if Estherlita doesn't know about this guy's feelings.

The man lowered his windshield, his gaze still forward even though I was facing his car.

"Come in, I promised I'd take you home. I'm not a broken man, after all .." His words hang.

"It's not good for pregnant women to walk in heels that are quite high" she sneered as she looked at me.

Of course I was surprised, he knew I was pregnant? I swallowed my saliva rough, did so many people spy on me? My mind while wailing.

If this guy only knew what Joan was? Could it be that the man also already knows and may be waiting for my honesty?

"Come on Miss, I don't have much time to watch you daydream" her sarcasm.

Out of annoyance, I got into the car and slammed the door hard. He chuckled, it turns out he wasn't as scary as we had met.

"You wonder how I know?"

I did not answer, my heart was in a rage, which made my brain think hard.

I heard he sighed because I ignored him. "Joan doesn't know yet?"

I shook my head to answer her question, reluctant to go into detail about my relationship with Joan.

"He wouldn't want the baby" he said, making me gasp to look at him.

What I was afraid of turned out to be true, I'm sure Joan wouldn't want this baby.

"I ... I can't afford to throw it away" I said.

He sighed, "you have no intention of making that child one of Alexander's descendants?"

Alexander's? Was that not just Joan's last name? Is that Alexander the big guy?

"My relationship isn't what you'd imagine, if you knew Joan wouldn't want this baby, you'd be able to guess who I am in Joan's life" I explained.

"Go away" I take that as a suggestion, because the tone doesn't sound threatening at all.

It wasn't like our conversation at the beginning where he also asked me to leave. This time it was like he wanted to save me.

"I can't go that way. If Joan didn't want this baby, I'm sure not to let me go, she would have wanted me to keep eliminating it, "my breath was blocked.

Where can I hide? I'm sure wherever Joan can find me.

We reached Joan's apartment, the man I didn't know until now, actually drove me all the way to the apartment.

I set foot heavily towards the floor of Joan's apartment. I have to go, it looks like Dinda's advice I'm going to do.

I sent a message to my neighbor to send me his address. Tomorrow after delivering the resignation letter, I will go to his villa.

Everything has been meticulously. Tomorrow I'm going to the bank to get all my savings and I confirmed it today.

Savings are quite large, I drain everything, because I will no longer use the bank for all transactions later.

I also bought a new phone that I would use in a new place. I'm really going to disappear, there's nothing more I can do, my life is down the road.

I've been circulating all over Joan's apartment, there's a lot of memories here, even though Joan is a tyrannical man in my opinion, but there's a lot of sweet things she's done to me.

One of them when I looked at his minimalist kitchen, I remembered that he always struggled spoiled me when I was preparing food or drinks for us.

Memories that I don't easily throw away. Somehow there is pain in the chest considering the sweet treatment. Have I fallen in love with her? I let go of that thought, there's no way I'm falling in love with her.

Although it's only been a year with so many memories that I went through with Joan and more intimate compared to Adam.

I breath back to that man. Somehow the sense of loss between Adam and Joan felt different, and I didn't understand my own feelings. Maybe because Joan was the father of the baby I was carrying, so there was a sense of wanting to have?

Intentions want to take clothes, so I paled. Finally I just picked up a suitcase to pack my own clothes in the closet, because here my big suitcase is stored.

"I'm sorry Jo, sorry for breaking our contract, I'm resigned to what will happen later. If this kid's born I'll see you back."

I will definitely be responsible for seeing this man back after I make sure this boy will not be involved in the chaos of my life in the future.

He's innocent, I'll make sure Dinda's safe with him before I leave this world.

Ah, Dinda, I hope that Joan or anyone else won't involve that kind woman. I guess I should keep my distance from him.

I thought that while Joan and her family might be terrible, there was no way she would eliminate someone that easy, except my family.

I left Joan's apartment with a bad feeling, I breathed greedily the aroma of this apartment that I liked very much. Joan never objected to whatever fragrance I used, even the contents of this apartment were partly my choice.

All I've left is two suitcases I'm going to carry, one suitcase to hold my money tomorrow.

I've also spoken to the owner of the boarding house, if I don't continue with the rent. The owner asked me if I was not comfortable living in his room? I shook my head, of course that's not why I left and he doesn't need to know.

"Let's go to the hospital," asked Dinda after she found out I was waiting for her at the boarding house.

"Din, there's a lot you don't know about me." I deliberately paused my sentence to see his expression.

"Then?"

"My life isn't as easy as it's on your mind. I can't tell you much. Maybe it will also harm you someday, I don't know," I exhaled.

I saw Dinda gasp. He might be surprised to hear my statement.

"Recrease me? Can you please clarify the race?" it was her question that worried me that she had slammed her promise to help me.

"This child ... The father of this child is not a random person Din. I decided to leave, but it's not as easy as what you planned. So—" I'm choked.

Dinda's eyebrows are dragging in confusion, not worry but I think she's really curious.

"We can't communicate with each other if you want to help me. From this moment on don't look with me. I'm going to the hospital myself."

"But Ras—"

"You want me to hold this kid's defense, right? Please follow my advice. Don't call me, you give me your villa address, same office phone you can?"

Although confused Dinda still nodded, she tried to accept whatever I wanted at the moment.

"Ok, can I have an explanation later? I'll be there if you ask me to come, right?" guess it.

I nodded, Dinda and I breathed a sigh of relief. It seems like Dinda understands my situation a little, so for a while she will let me alone.
