To The Man Who Broke My Heart
49. Alex and All His Misteries

I could see Alex sitting to my left glancing at me with a smile. However, she immediately threw away a glance as I turned her head and caught her wet gaze. I looked back at the television screen. He did not comment anything. It's possible that he's been warned by Bang Bian or Bang Rian not to bother me or that he'll be in danger.

I don't know when and how I fell asleep with the Genta on my lap, which is clear, I woke up when someone's finger was playing around in my face. Tiny and smooth fingers. I tried to open my eyes unexpectedly still very attached to each other even after many hours of sleep like this and found Genta already standing next to me with Alex sitting at the side A clapper to guard it. He laughed showing off his little white teeth as I rubbed my eyes and fixed my sitting position.

“Tante Kay is awake, Gen.” Alex spoke to Genta, who is now in a sitting position. The one-and-a-half-year-old boy picked up his beloved little dinosaur doll lying on a couch, near his equally small feet. Genta looked at me when Alex said my name. I became anxious and immediately showered his puffed cheeks with a kiss.

“Maafin Aunt Kakay overslept yes, dear," I said on the sidelines of a rain of kisses I spread all over her face and her puffed up body. Her tender fat stomach also did not escape the attack. He then shouted, between laughing and upset, asking to be released immediately. I laughed and got up from my seat. “Lex, look for a moment, yes. I'll wash my face first.” I walked to the bathroom near the kitchen. Coming out of the bathroom, I realized that the house felt very quiet. Except for the sound of Alex and Genta playing, I did not hear any voices and saw the whereabouts of anyone but us. Even Mama and Papa. “Other on where to, Lex?”

Alex immediately looked up, taking his eyes off the toy that surrounded Genta for a moment. “Papa, Mama, Bian Sama Cya again to the wedding of one of your friend Papa's children who is also his friend Bian. And Rian, he said he wanted to go somewhere. He had told me where the hell it was, but I forgot the name of the area. Well, where to, yeah?” He seemed to think hard to remember those missing words.

“Oh, yes already. It'sit's okay. Mostly he stopped by his studio in Pandan."

"Well, there it is! Pandans! Why did I forget, huh?" He's laughing to himself.

"Keep Genta don't join mama with his papa, dong?” ask me when I throw my body back on the sofa.

"No. Just when he woke up, I immediately took it because you slept really fast. I play with. Uh, Bian pas same Cya already ready to go, he even did not want to come along. Maybe he'd rather play with me than follow his parents. That's what I do, yes.”

I sneered and chose to ignore the man's narcissistic sentence. “You've had lunch, not yet?”

Alex immediately shook his head. "Later on, Genta still wants to play this."

I saw the clock on the wall, the time showed one past twenty-five. “Don't do that, ah. It's like this hour. You eat first, let me play with him. After that replace.” I reached out to Genta, but it was unexpected to be ignored by my first nephew.

“Nah, right? Also said what. Yokah, if so we have lunch together. Genta is also time to be given a snack deh kayaknya.” He stood up and Genta extended his hand to the man. Alex held Genta and raised him high, making Genta laugh out loud.

We walked into the kitchen. With Genta in his carrier, Alex can still lift the child's dining chair, which is certainly heavy, then take a bowl filled with pieces of fruit for Genta that has been prepared by Uni Cya in the refrigerator.

I watched Alex's movements; how he did it all. Luwes. His movements did not look stiff at all. Carrying Genta, taking a chair, and now preparing food. Genta also looked very comfortable being in his arms. “You seem to have a great experience, Lex. Do not you are five-child fathers who are still single to prey, yes?”

Alex looked at me for a long time and then smiled, but he said nothing. “Lunch is ready. Meal time!” He talked to Genta with a bright voice. The clapper automatically raised his hand enthusiastically. Alex sat Genta in a dining chair that was deliberately placed between our chairs. He then put a feeding apron around the neck of his mini-Uni Cya's.

I bribed the rice with the green lado jerky side dish that was already on the table while watching the two of them. The genta who ate voraciously and Alex who deftly kept an eye on him; cleaned Genta's lips and cheeks, cleaned the edges of the bowl, and, even giving words that make Genta more eager to spend his snack. Another side of Alex I just found out. Another thing to add to my list.

I don't know how long the list goes if there's always a part of Alex that I can find every time we interact.

Bang Bian and Uni Cya came when we just finished lunch and Genta again and again asked to play with Alex. Not that I didn't want to play, but what Alex did today with Genta seemed to give me some kind of shock in my head.

He looks so experienced and .. hot with how easy he was handling all the things. And the baby. A clever handsome guy. The boy's gurus his level of good looks instantly increased by a billion times in my eyes.

Dang it, Lex. Is there anything that this man cannot do? What's your weakness, Lex? What can I make a minus value? Why do I always find something positive, anyway? You can't be this perfect, right? You must have a lack too, right? Come on, Lex, tell me your other side. I want to know all the parts of you. I don't want to just know what's sweet. I want to see the dark side you have. I want to see it all, Lex, so that I'm sure the same decision I'm gonna make is.
