Playing With Fire
The Part 37

After breakfast, Bianca prefers to hold back her emotions and curiosity. Maybe later he will immediately ask Alex four eyes about the thing that Irene revealed earlier. Bianca already understands very well if the Aunt of Alex does not like him, but it does not eliminate Bianca's desire to get Alex.

And for some reason, Bianca was now very disliked the woman named Elica. If you look, it looks like the age of Elica is still under Bianca. That night made Bianca even more eager not to lose to Elica the little boy.

Because Bianca was convinced, the woman was nothing more than a prostitute as her stuff the women out there were crazy treasures.

While Irene and Alex are seen sitting together in the tv room, seeing the actual show is very boring.

"Tante will take Elica out today" said Irene opened her voice but with her eyes still focused on the television screen.

"Where?" Ask Alex

"Get out, take a walk of course. Pity that he keeps locked up in the house. It also needs fresh air"

Understanding the meaning of the Aunt, Alex was silently pretending to look at his cellphone.

"You didn't allow Alex?" Irene asked

"At the back there is also a lake, aunty can take her there do not need to go out" replied Alex disagreed.

"What do you think can be seen from the lake, seeing the stagnant water? Aunty doesn't want to know if you'll allow it or not, Auntie will take Elica for a walk. Anyway tomorrow's Christmas Eve, so all aunts want to buy Christmas necessities"

"She's pregnant, she's exhausted. Just take Bianca"

"Tante doesn't want to go with the plastic woman. Just seeing his face makes aunty annoyed"

After a bit of arguing with Alex, Irene finally got out of her seat and left Alex.

Irene immediately searched for Elica's whereabouts to accompany her out. Not long after he found Elica was feeding the pet dog in the house in the backyard.

Irene also saw Elica who was crouched giving food to the dog.

"Hey you're so funny, what's your name" said Elica quietly, as if the dog could talk and Elica rubbed the head of the dog in front of her.

Irene smiled to herself as she looked at Elica's adorable behavior, because for Irene, Elica was a kind and caring person, including animals.

With a slow step Irene approached Elica and sat in front while following stroking the brown dog's fur.

"Nobody knows the name of this dog but Alex. Because this dog was raised by Alex when he was 7 years old. And Alex will call this dog with enough whistles, then he will approach her, then Alex will say his name in a very slow voice"

Irene told Elica.

"Ah so, so sweet" replied Elica who knew a little of the other side of Alex who turned out to like animals.

"This dog will usually be fierce to the newly encountered person. Why would she be tame with you, Elica?" Ask Irene

"So I was carrying dishes to wash in the kitchen. Suddenly she came and licked my leg, and I thought she was hungry. It turns out that it was true that he ate the food I gave him, after which he started to tame on me" said Elica, smiling at the dog.

"Just like that? Well you're great Elica, even in this house no one dares to feed her directly"

"Yes Aunt. That was the nature of the beast, he would thank the person who had given him food" hearing Elica's words, Irene also felt there was meaning in the sentence.

"Elica, Auntie wants to go out and buy Christmas supplies. You're coming" Irene.

"But I have to get permission on.."

"Alex. Take it easy, Elica, Aunt told Alex that and she let him"

"really?"

"certain. Now you're getting ready, aunt wait on the front page"

"Alright Auntie"

Actually Elica was very happy to know she was going out with Irene. Because honestly he was very bored in this house, because Irene also forbade him to do homework.

***

Bianca who was upset this morning by Irene chose to lock herself in the guest room. And when it was noon he was seen coming out of his room looking for Alex. He heard a car on the front porch and walked there. And right, Alex is getting ready to go in his black Mercedes.

"Alex where are you going?" Call Bianca walk fast when she sees Alex already entering the car.

"I have some business outside" Alex replied

"Can I come? I'm so bored here. And also inside your aunt's house and that woman kept cornered me"

Bianca is made sad

"They're not inside. Aunt Irene is taking Elica out"

"Do you want to catch up with them?"

"Yes"

"All right, I'll come" said Bianca, who wanted to continue with Alex

"You're here."

"But.."

Not yet Bianca continued her words, Alex had stepped on the gas pedal and drove his car away.

"Fuckhead" grumbled Bianca annoyed with Alex's treatment that continues to ignore her. And all because of Elica, the woman Bianca thinks is so disgusting.

***

Irene and Elica were shopping in a mall. Various kinds of Christmas ornaments that have been bought by Irene free of charge. Because the woman was very happy to be able to go shopping accompanied by someone namely Elica.

Irene said with great joy pulling Elica into the baby supply store. Elica can't refuse him because Irene looks happy and she is worried that Irene will be disappointed if Elica refuses Irene's gift.

In the store that was headed Irene was busy choosing all the needs of prospective babies Elica. Starting from clothes, shoes, and other small things Irene did not leave to buy.

After nearly spending two hours just to choose baby clothes, the two went to a restaurant to fill their stomachs that had begun to starve. Moreover, Elica, honestly she was very tired but not until the heart told Irene.

After their ordered food arrived, Elica and Irene ate it greedily because they were starving.

"You know Elica, Auntie seeeeit's a pleasure to shop with you. Aunty wanted to take you to the beach, but it feels like the soul of shopping aunty can not be restrained let alone buy baby equipment. I'm going to welcome my own granddaughter"

Irene chanted while devouring her food, and was returned with a smile by Elica.

"Thank you aunt for paying attention to my future son." Elica

"Of course baby. Right now you're like I think a princess should be, too. And Auntie is happy to be out with you, just this time aunty shopping at someone's company"

"really? Never at all?" Asked Elica who was a little incredulous

"real Elica. You know for yourself, aunty boy and he's busy with his own business. And aunty friends abroad are all Elite people, where when they will shop prefer to order a private room for themselves so it is more free and very special. It's really boring, which is why aunty really wants a daughter but Damian refuses to have a sister. And grateful her aunt can meet you Elica" said Irene at length

"Then I hope my daughter is also a girl, so that wherever I go she always accompanies me. Is that aunt?" Asked Elica while stroking her stomach expectantly.

"Male girls are just the same as Elica as long as she's healthy. And he can get a lot of affection from both parents" said Irene and reminded Elica of her relationship with Alex who began to feel foreign. Elica replied to Irene with just a nod of her head and a smile.

Because in fact, after this child was born Elica wanted to end her problems with Alex. Where she hopes to continue living with her baby with a better life. Although sometimes there is a bit of pain when you see Alex and Bianca. But Elica denied it if it was not from her feelings, but rather innate from her womb.

Although now Elica's heart has begun to be disappointed with Alex who easily always changes. She used to say she loved Elica, but now she's bringing a new woman. Which makes Elica confused by her feelings of hatred and love for Alex.

Nightfall.

Irene and Elica had been home since this afternoon, actually their return made Bianca a little confused. The article this afternoon Alex will pick them up, but even now Alex has not come home. But Bianca seemed reluctant to talk to everyone and chose to be busy with her phone.

Irene and Elica are seen busy decorating the Christmas tree in the living room, not to forget also helped by uncle Jo and aunt Christin.

A few minutes later Alex came home with his flat face, although he saw the feel of Christmas already attached to his welcome. Irene saw Alex's return and told her to clean up because soon they would have dinner.

After that, the four people had already sat together in the dining room and devoured the food they had prepared.

"You know Alex, this afternoon aunty and Elica bought a lot of baby clothes. Everything is so adorable, you have to see it later" Irene said, sounding calm breaking the silence, but Alex just kept quiet and chose to focus on her food.

"Last noon Alex said he'd pick up Aunt and Elica but why don't you guys go home together?" Bianca said suddenly, and hearing Bianca Irene's words scrunched her forehead.

"Is that really Alex? Why not tell auntie" Irene asked

"I have other business" replied Alex as if

"Ah so. You take it easy Alex, when Elica is with Auntie she'll be fine. And this afternoon you must have been worried about Elica too, admitted it" said Irene even heated up Bianca.

And once again, Bianca tries not to be provoked by Irene's infuriating treatment of her

"Oh yes Alex, are we going to exchange gifts?" Ask Bianca who pretended not to respond to Irene's words earlier.

"Hey Bianca, the day after Christmas. Do you still want to be here? Don't want to go home?" Irene began to have emotions

"Sorry aunt, didn't I say. If I'm going to study with Alex for some time, and Christmas it's not a problem for me if I'm somewhere else including here. Doesn't Alex just mind me being here?" Reply Bianca who began to dare to answer Irene's words.

Because honestly Bianca had tried to ignore Irene's words, and the fact she continued to be set aside by Irene.

"Oh so. Then Alex, it looks like the aunt should ask you directly. Since when did you become a big house into a shelter?

Moreover, accommodating Bianca who began to not know themselves" Irene's scathing innuendo that had been blatantly on Bianca made the woman even more angry.

"My aunt please don't start" said Alex, who tried to remain calm

Bianca's mouth that had begun to itch wanted to reply to Irene's words was not unstoppable anymore.

"Sorry aunt. I need to remember right, did aunt forget that in this house there is also Elica? So where's the fault if I stay here?" Bianca spoke out against Irene.

Irene put her cutlery and forks next to the plate in annoyance. The atmosphere at the dining table had already begun to heat up, and for Elica herself the current events were an interesting spectacle for her.

Because he saw the real side of Bianca that some days was covered by the woman.

"Don't compare yourself to Elica. Hey Bianca I need to remind you too, Elica is pregnant with Alex's child is certainly natural if she lives here. And who are you? How dare you oppose me?" Irene.

"I've been..." Bianca's words were later cut off by Alex's voice

"Stop. Can you two shut up? It doesn't matter what you are really fighting about? You guys are like kids, even at the dinner table you always fight." Alex screeched as he kicked down the dinner table.

And managed to make Irene and Bianca both silent because of the anger of Alex and also the man is now looking at her with very sharp eyes.

Not long ago Alex's phone in his pocket sounded. Alex took it and saw that it was his men who were calling.

Alex immediately picked it up.

"What's wrong?" Ask Alex briefly.

("Master I'd like to inform you that Ms. Hilda was found lifeless from an overdose this afternoon")

Hearing that Alex was shocked and shocked, her body suddenly stiffened. But he quickly normalized the look on his face as if nothing had happened. Seeing the three women at the dining table were staring at him.

"All right, I understand." Alex calmly answered and then decided on the call. And he chose to just walk away quietly at dinner tonight. Without causing the slightest suspicion on the three women left in the dining room.
