Not the Woman of Choice

Not the Woman of Choice
Chapter 4


In Bryan's office sat daydreaming, his laptop screen was still on but his mind went nowhere. Since deciding to marry Jeny he felt something strange. He felt uncomfortable being around his wife, which is why he kept avoiding her. He is aware of his cold attitude towards Jeny but what if his heart never wants any of this.


"Darling...." A woman who made Bryan aware of his daydream.


He turned to the source of the voice, with a loving look he then pulled the woman sitting on his lap, hugging her from behind .


The woman just kept quiet to let Bryan feel his body, he just smiled while kissing the lips of the lover.


"I'm tired, dear.I can't keep going like this." Said Bryan letting out his heartbreak.


The woman just smiled as she kissed Bryan's lips again, which this time was not off Bryan just like that. Bryan pressed the woman's nape and returned the woman's kiss, for a moment they were drowning in the burning fire of love.


" is it because of that woman?" Asked the woman after removing her lip kiss from Bryan's lips.


Bryan just nodded slowly in response, he never wanted this marriage, and he was not interested in Jeny at all from the beginning,only because of a promise and matchmaking of the mandate of the grandfather before dying that made him forced to make Jeny as his wife. While he himself has had a lover, the woman he loved so much for three years.


" I don't feel at home right now, Mon.every look at his face somehow I just feel uncomfortable ."


"I am the same, dear.but what can we do, if we do not keep the mandate of opa then you will lose all the inheritance, he said,and I don't want you to lose any of that after you've worked so hard to develop it to what it is today."


Bryan let out a heavy sigh, and then leaned his body against the back of the chair. Mona moved from Bryan's lap, and then stood facing Bryan while wrapping her hands around Bryan's neck.


" We wait until this year, won't it be after a year of your marriage, then all the inheritance will fall into your hands."


" Yes, it's like that, but a year is a long time baby, just a day I was with her makes me not feel at home especially if I have to wait a year." Bryan complained with an excited face.


Mona only smiled faintly at Bryan's attitude and this she was increasingly convinced not to worry about his position in Bryan's heart after hearing Bryan's words directly.


At home I just finished making a cake and put it in the refrigerator, later the cake will be served after dinner.


"It's over, baby." Said Ms. Ratna, my mother-in-law, who just passed Jeny in the middle room.


"It's Ma." My answer while stopping the footsteps sat passed by the mother-in-law.


"Jeny, go up first Ma, you want to clean up." Pamitku again because I feel my body is sticky, and also the afternoon is not long before Bryan came home from the office.


"Yes already."


After chatting with my mother, I continued my steps up the stairs to the room . Just a day in this house I feel like I've been living for years, there are memories of the past that make me feel familiar with all the contents of this house, but whoever's past I don't know,I feel no stranger to this house.


Just now that this foot stepped on the last rung, the sound of the car engine was heard from outside, making me develop a smile because of course that came it was Bryan, I memorized the sound of the car engine.


"Mas.here I bring the bag." I said when I saw that Bryan had just entered the house with a tangled face but did not reduce his good looks. Without answering he gave me his briefcase after I kissed his hand.


Obviously his face looks so tired, I feel sorry for him working so hard for this family added to his new responsibilities to me.


"Where are papa's parents?" Ask Bryan while walking to the sofa in the guest room.


"There's a room." I answered briefly while putting his briefcase on the table, and then I left it for a while to give him water as if he was so tired and thirsty.


"In drink first Mas." I said to give him a glass of water, and Bryan took it out of my hand and gulped it down to the toilet, like he was really thirsty.


" Bath first mas, let your body fresher, I've prepared your bath water." Continue me again.


Mas Bryan did not answer he got up from his seat and walked away from me who was still standing on the spot. I followed in his footsteps from behind with his briefcase to the room.


Arriving in the room I did not see Bryan mas, but the sound of water from the bathroom made me relieved because it was definitely inside,while waiting for her I prepared a change of clothes for her and put it on the bed, after which I went back down to prepare dinner.


Shortly after Jeny came out of the room, Bryan came out of the bathroom with a fresh face and body. When he had just come out of the bathroom his eyes were immediately fixed on the clothes that were ready on the bed.


"He's got everything ready." Bryan murmured and walked up and took the clothes and put them on.


There's a sense of dislike when you see Jeny continue to give her this kind of attention. But he could not forbid Jeny not to do it because it would make Jeny ask questions and can cause suspicion in his heart.


Dinner has arrived, all the family is at the dinner table and eating dinner this time is so special because all the food is Jeny's cuisine.


"This food is so different this time, it's so good it fits my tongue." Said Bryan while eating so greedily as if he had never eaten.


Ms. Ratna and Jeny looked at each other then they smiled together.


"Who used to dong koki, his ghost papa."


"Huk...huk..." Bryan who had just put food in his mouth choked when he heard the father's words. Jeny quickly gave Bryan some drinking water.


"Everything if eating it slowly, choking will be" said Ms Ratna reminded, but her smile could not be separated from her lips,he felt so happy because after a long time finally his son found a suitable food on his tongue, as long as Bryan just eat as it is even though it does not fit on his tongue.
