You're Not a Figurant
[POV Alex] Ch 13 - Life Companion

I did tell Khansa to sleep, but I myself could not close my eyes. I was busy staring at the face that was sleeping next to me. I still can't believe Khansa is my wife.

She is the woman I dreamed of. The woman I've been thinking about for a dozen years. Although my way of getting it was wrong, but he is already mine now.

I stroked Khansa's smooth cheek. Groped his eyebrows, down his nose that culminated in his lips. Khansaku is always beautiful. She's the most beautiful woman.

I slapped myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

PLAQUES

"Aauww!" turned out sick. I really wasn't dreaming. The woman I loved for so many years has been mine!! If Dino knew it, he would be proud of me! Tomorrow I'll show him my achievements.

All I did last night was kiss Khansa's hand, stroke her cheek, kiss her forehead and land a little kiss on her tiny lips.

My hand also stroked Khansa's enlarged belly. I pushed my body until my head was faced with her big belly. I hugged her stomach and kissed her. Repeated apologies to Khansa and our baby-to-be. I don't feel tears coming from my eyes. I am so grateful to have both of them in my life.

Satisfied to kiss my future son, I pulled Khansa back into my arms and fell asleep feeling happy.

My morning was interrupted by noise. Word from Winda interfered with my honeymoon plans. There's a problem at the head office, so I needed to solve it. Looks like I'll have to postpone our honeymoon.

I have to get back to Jakarta. The director is abroad. He put the solution to this problem on me. I'm embracing.

Actually, to be honest, I've got nothing to do with this company. My goal was to break into the company just to get Khansa. Now I've got it.

Naturally I let go of this position and re-engaged in my own company. However, as a form of responsibility for having been given the opportunity to assume this position, I will solve all the problems in the company before leaving it.

I told Winda to book tickets for both of us. I've bought a new house for Khansa. The house was next to Aaron's, so it would have been easier for me to keep an eye on Diana in accordance with the responsibilities that Mama mandated to me.

At the airport I had to let go of parting ways with Khansa. My heart is very hard to part with, but the task is waiting for me.

"Bareng Winda first yes, later if all the business is done I'll go home soon." I pulled Khansa's body in my arms. Hugging it was as if it gave me its own strength. I stole a few kisses before parting with her.

There was another car waiting for me. The car took me to a company that is currently in crisis. The existence of sloping news that was widely reported by the media made the company's image immediately down. The stock price dropped dramatically.

As soon as I arrived, all the employees showed a respectful attitude. The assistant director directed me to a meeting room where GHs from various divisions were waiting for me.

"Is everyone present?" ask me to open a meeting.

"It's Sir."

"good. Explain to me the subject in detail." One GH tells the beginning of the problem without missing even a small detail. I nodded, beginning to understand the root of the problem.

"Find the media that first published this story. Then look for the second and third media that participate in spreading. Send a letter of complaint to their director. Use the media to clarify it. Before the OOJK (sorry yes disguised) issues an official verdict on the truth of the issue, our company will not be linked. To convince the public, write a letter to OOJK to check your company and publish a rebuttal. Understand?!"

"Give up all your HR. I want this matter to be resolved today. How much of a loss does the company bear just for news like this?!"

That day, the team all seemed to be working hard. Replacing the position of interim director, I was in charge of directing each line. It is not easy to persuade OOJK to welcome Our letter. But then our letter was responded and OOJK deployed his team to examine the alleged money laundry that blew in the public.

While the other team served to file a lawsuit on several media. Our lawyers held clarifications by inviting dozens of TV station reporters.

Once the lawsuit is received, each of the directors of the media company begins to make an apology. Some apologized through visual media, some in the form of letters, some decided to resign.

The examination conducted by OOJK also ended that day. On the eve of the night OOJK announced the results, that there is no connection of Our company to money laundry carried out by government-owned insurance companies.

All of that hassle happens within a day. When all the results are on the floor to the public, we just wait for the results with anxious expectations. The GHs gathered in the room, monitoring the movement of our stocks.

That activity makes me not move. I don't even have time to eat. But as busy as I am, my thoughts still drift on Khansa. My body couldn't wait to go home and grab the woman in an embrace. To remove the longing, I told Winda to send a photo of Khansa once an hour. Actually doing so was not enough to erase my longing, but at least a speck of longing was satisfied.

I stared at the watch. Without feeling the time has shown at ten o'clock in the night. I'm afraid Khansa is waiting for me. I immediately called Winda, telling him to tell Khansa not to wait for me. After doing so, I again monitor the stock movement.

Initially the stock index did not move. It tends to decline slowly. But a few hours later, there began to be a significant increase until finally the stock price stabilized at normal prices. Everyone in the room cheered. Euphoria rules them. They decided to do a small party as a form of celebration.

I don't care what they do. My responsibilities as a GH have been completed today. It's time to go home, because there's a beautiful wife waiting for me there.

Imagining Khansa waiting for me warms my heart. For this day and the days that follow I will no longer be alone. There is Khansa who will always accompany my days. He will be my life partner.

The company driver drove me home. I arrived home when the time was already showing at one in the morning. The house looks empty. Without making small talk I headed straight for the third floor, where my beloved was.

I took a deep breath and opened the door slowly.

DEG

My heart always beats when I see it. My angel is sleeping well. In the middle of the room ornament filled with shades of baby pink, the presence of Khansa is very contrasting there. She was like a sleeping princess waiting to be kissed by her prince to wake up.

I slowly approached Khansa. I bent my knees and was next to him. Staring at his face lingered while waving the strands of hair that covered his face.

I close my lips and kiss her softly. "I'm home, baby."
