The Choice of Old Man
Jealous

"Mother, sorry ... Sorry I'm .... ."

Alexa approached the mother, kissing both backs of her legs in regret. Although he could not remember, this woman before him had been pregnant with him for nine months. Alexa felt that she had been disobeying her mother, today she visited her parents' house to apologize and tell about her memory.

Athifa helped Alexa stand up. Seeing the princess who continued to cry as she pleased while apologizing, she immediately grabbed the girl. "Mom heard from Keenan. You must have experienced a lot of things after marriage, you shouldn't have forced you to get married."

The tightness in Alexa's chest is mounting. Her tears did not stop flooding her cheeks. No, not one bit did she regret her status as a wife. Alexa, on the other hand, is grateful that her mother chose the right man for her. At first, he refused this matchmaking. But now, Alexa can accept it with a chest roomy.

Athifa wiped away the tears that drenched her daughter's cheeks, her smile expanding as soon as she saw Alexa smiling sweetly. "Oh, Mom's son is now this big. I'm happy to see you again, I hope this isn't our last meeting, yeah!"

"Ih, don't say that. It was a prayer, ma'am." chirped Alexa's lips.

"What's wrong with you saying that? No, no one knows the age. It could be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I'm not there."

Alexa just nodded at hearing it. Sofyan said the woman had been in his room for two days and two nights, praying to the creator for the girl to come see him. Athifa's prayer is granted. Right now, in this room, the mother and child were chatting a lot of things. Alexa has seen a photo of her childhood with Alex on an album.

It turns out I was a kid this blanket.

"Mom actually wants to see Alex, but you're gonna be really mad if you see Alex."

"Why indeed? How come you get so angry?" Alexa was surprised.

Athifa rubbed a strand of Alexa's long hair. "What you don't like is that you give birth to gender-specific twins. Even your father was told to lie to the police to keep Alex's case down."

"Whose name is it, Mom?"

"Megane."

"Mother swore, the child would have a miserable life. Missing at the take of anyone Mother doesn't care."

Spontaneously, Alexa was stunned to hear the name. The memory of an old woman flashed in his memory. Before the accident nine years ago, Megane and Sofyan often fought just because the man gave Alex more attention. The grandfather who made his grandmother hate Alex when he was young, his grandfather married another woman. Shortly after, they had twins of different gender.

Now Alexa understands why her father remarried, what a father does will affect his son. He became pessimistic about his relationship with Keenan. Will Keenan be faithful? Or the opposite?

Alexa shook her head, clearing her mind. "No, no, that can't happen."

"What can't happen, Lexa?" ask Athifa to wake up Alexa's daydream.

"No, really, Mom. I'm just ... ." Alexa stood up while raising both hands in the air. He looked at the ceiling of the room in the pastel pink paint. "The same guest room."

"It's a good thing you didn't change anything in your room." Athifa smiled warmly. "Mom wishes you happiness always, huh, son?"

The couple paced from the barista table to the Lexa's Coffe Shop visitor's desk. Tonight, they replaced Athifa at the cafe. The whole room was very noisy by the conversation of the young people, occasionally they sipped a cup of coffee made by Keenan. Alexa sat on an empty chair, the girl took a deep breath several times.

Alexa looked around. He found something new since returning from South Jakarta, he was the son of a cafe owner. Alexa was stunned to see the rows of lights hanging on the roof. Not only that, he placed his index finger on the wall with a brick carving. To his amazement, his eyeballs blinked.

"Mas, can you ask for her phone number?"

Alexa turned her head, looking at a woman standing in front of the barista table. If you look around, the woman has a sexy posture with tight clothes to make her butt look obvious. Of course, as a wife, she could not stand by watching her husband being teased by other women. Alexa approached Keenan, embracing the man's shoulder in front of the woman.

The girl was on her tiptoes, grabbing Keenan's cheeks with one sweet kiss. "Darling, I'd like to make some coffee."

Keenan was silent when he received a kiss from his wife. Moreover, Alexa is acting very sweet, her tone also sounds cute. He licked his lips, trying to hold back his laughter. "Later to make it, now sit down first. I'm serving customers again."

"No! Where might I just let you both be the same." Alexa's eyes moved glancing at the pink baby-haired woman. Then, he threw a sharp look. "Prospective actor."

The woman cleared her throat. "Well, how is the actor? It was there first who teased the mas."

"Okay, how about, yeah ... ." Alexa tucked her hair into her ears, intending to show off her wedding ring.

"Oh, his wife!" The woman understood immediately after seeing him.

After the little quarrel, the woman apologized to Alexa for flirting with her husband. Keenan was really anxious to see the behavior of his wife. This time he felt jealous.

The clock shows at nine o'clock. Visitors leave the cafe. Alexa wiped one by one table, while Keenan washed dishes and dirty glasses of former visitors. They both steal each other's eyes, actually Alexa is embarrassed to have acted like that.

"Lo jealous?" ask Keenan to make sure. He wiped his wet palms.

"Yes ... I don't like the same girls. Her clothes are tight. I'm sure you must be tempted, right?"

Keenan walked over, then sat down next to Alexa who was standing. He folded his hands together on his chest, watching the girl who was still focused on wiping the table.

"where possible. How can I be tempted, while in front of me there is a girl who is more beautiful than the girl before."

"Just, uh, from pad—"
