The Alien In Love
Chapter 5
Alexa is increasingly confused because at this time, her two best friends just look at her with an occasional smile. Until Alisha's question makes her even more confused to explain what.
“So, don't you want to share happiness with us Alexa?”
“What story do you mean? You guys are so weird.” Alexa who is still not digesting where this conversation is headed becomes more confused and astonished by Alisha's questions.
The woman who is currently sitting next to him now pulls out her phone and pushes it towards Alexa, making his eyes look patterned see the photo of him who was hugging with a man who only looked on his back while Alexa's face was plastered real because his face was right facing the camera.
“Yes God, why could I forget ever displaying it in my Story” Alexa rubbed her face rough and smiling looking at her two best friends.
“So, who is this man who hugged you Miss Simpson? Is he the same one who drove you today?”
Where does Alisha know about Matt driving me when he just came home from out of town. Alexa stared intently at Clara, and the woman finished her meal.
“Alright, I'll tell you.” Answer Alexa finally, mqu avoid it feels impossible, because after all these two friends are the place to complain so far. “He's Matthew, my lover.”
“ finally I am happy to hear that” Alisha also scattered her body towards Alexa and hugged her, as well as Clara. “Happy for you Dear”.
A few minutes passed with Alexa recounting the beginning of her encounter with Matt, and continues to this day. Certainly without mentioning that Matthew is an Alien, because he does not want others to think badly about his non-human lover. Let this Secret be kept to himself until the time comes, he thought.
After spending their lunch telling each other about their busy lives during the week, they left the restaurant after Alisha had previously paid for all their food at the Cashier section. An aura of happiness emanated from the three as they walked side by side.
Alexa, Alisha and Clara. All three were met when they entered the same University and Department. Among the three of them only Alexa who never had a lover, even now Clara is married and Alisha sudab is engaged. Obviously the news that says Alexa with a Man becomes a happiness for Clara and Alisha. Because then they will not be afraid Alexa lonely anymore and someone is looking after her now.

Josh Co company.
Matthew, who was busy struggling with the Report on his Folding computer, stopped his work for a moment and turned his eyes away as the sound of the door being pushed from the outside. A middle-aged Midlife Man who still looks dashing looks approached him and dropped his body on the guest sofa in the room, while Matt again busy with a folding computer on his desk.
“Tumben once you come here Dad, is there anything important?” He asked when the middle-aged man who was none other than his father named Albert Joseph leaned his body back on the sofa and crossed his legs converging to the other.
The father was still busy looking around the room used by his son now. Formerly this room was a room he worked in while still leading in the Josh Co Company. Due to the age of twilight and the desire to retire from his company, he began to give his responsibilities to Matthew, because only Matthew was the son he had who could replace him later.
“Is there a ban on a Father who wants to visit his child?.” His reply slightly held back the irritation from Matthew's question that seemed to dislike his arrival this time.
“Not so Dad. But don't you have a Golf Dad schedule today?” ask Matthew again. Because not usually this Daddy will leave the hobby he has been in from the time he was young.
“No. For today my schedule is you son.”
“so what's up Dad? You make me even more curious”
“are you busy Matt?”
Matt moved out of his chair and then approached to sit down in a single sofa that faced directly with the father.
“What's Dad?”
Silent, there was no answer from Albert but his eyes looked deep into his son's eyes as if he was laughing at Matthew's thoughts.
“Do I still need to explain Dad?. I think you know better what you're asking.” Matt raised a slight corner of his lips displaying a small smirk.
The father laughed at his son's answer, “you are so funny Matt. Obviously Daddy knows everything. But I mean why didn't you bring it to me before your ancestors knew it, son?”
“What am I taking it for if Daddy can't take it in the end either? Isn't Daddy the same as the Queen Mother and Others?” answer Matt sarcasm.
Albert was silent at his son's words. In his heart he justifies what to introduce him to while others know an Albert hates humans so much.
But unlike that the reality is, not all Humans are hated by it. The proof is that his Son who is currently sitting in front of him was born from the womb of a Man who successfully seized his heart decades ago. His mind turned back to that time, when he met the woman who was the Mother of his Son.
31 Years ago, Matthew Alexander was born from the womb of a human named Anna. At that time many discoveries of local scientists about the existence of Aliens on Earth. And because of the discovery is also a lot of aliens were destroyed for fear of being considered to disturb the peace of human life on Earth. In fact, the Alien Nation itself has been hundreds of years ago coexisting with humans. It's just that without explaining their true selves.
Therefore until now no one knows the difference between Aliens and humans if not themselves who tell their identity. Because of their appearance and the way they dress, behave even live like humans in general.
Anna was one of the scientists at the time, along with several people including husband and wife Arthur Simpson and Jeane Simpson who were close friends of Anna. And it was at the time of the study that Albert who was one of the objects of research along with several other Aliens met Anna liked the woman. Similarly to Albert, Anna felt the same way even though she knew Albert was an Alien. But the difference does not in the least prevent them from connecting even until marriage. It's just that their relationship didn't last long, because Anna died after giving birth to Matthew.
It seemed that the middle-aged Man was too late in those memories Decades ago. Without him noticing his eyes were dewy and glazed. Even the repeated Calls from Matt were ignored. Matt who was astonished by the attitude of the father is currently approaching to pat the shoulder of the father who had been daydreaming since.
“DAD!” Matt's shrieking voice managed to restore his father's mind from his daydream.
“Why are you shouting Matt! Brash kid!” The hardship. But Matt only chuckles a little to respond.
“Why is Daddy daydreaming? What is Daddy thinking? I called but not a bit Daddy ignored.”
The man looked back into his son's eyes, the relationship between his son and a woman named Alexa was so similar to his story with Anna. You are my son Matt, where I may forbid you while your mother is the same as she is, she whispered. He subconsciously pulled both corners of his lips up.
“Bring him to see me Matt, I wonder who the woman who has dared to make my Son betray his people.” There was no anger in the Old Man's words, but Matt was misresponsive to Albert's words tightening his jaw.
“I wouldn't have taken him if Daddy only intended to hurt him!”
“Hahaha, why are you being this emotional? Are you afraid Daddy will eat it?” ledek Albert's.
“Because I know what Daddy will do”
“Say, what do you think Daddy would do Matt?” Albert looked back into his son's eyes, there was fear in there. Fearful that her father would destroy her relationship with Alexa.
“You've always thought badly of me Matt. Do you want your mom to hate me from up there?” continue then.
“Daddy doesn't hate Humans?” matt asked, now his eyes were looking into Albert's eyes looking for lies there. But all that seems to be honesty is in there.
“Only part of it is Matt.” Albert smiled in response to his son. “You haven't known your Daddy this is Nak.” The handsome man at his age who was no longer young stood up from his seat and patted the Son on the shoulder. “Take the girl the day after dinner at Matt's Mansion, I'm sure your two sisters will love it.” Albert left his son's room.
Matthew who was still digesting his Daddy's speech was unmoved, when he understood where his Daddy's words were a smile engraved beautifully on his face.
I love you so much Dad.
