An Unwanted Marriage

Gifts

Happy reading & ''Double

"The birth of a new member of the noble family is hot news everywhere" said one of the hosts of the gossip show on television.

"Yes, another baby Sultan was born in this country." another timpal enthusiastically.

This morning, almost all of the women on Andre's floor were watching a gossip show on television that reported the birth of Sabina's baby last night.

There were so many speeches and gifts sent to the baby who was just one day old.

On television screens, Gibran was seen coming out of the hospital door with a smile on his face. Blazing happy eyes he could not hide, his face that used to have a cold expression was no longer. Even Gibran waved his hand at some reporters who were covering, this was a very rare thing he did.

Soon Sabina's father, who was a very respected man, also came out of the hospital door and walked along with his daughter-in-law followed by Sabina's brother who was walking behind them.

"Lo inget not before, fitting Sabina same doctor was married everything looks tense but now the power is very compact." Said one of the women who commented on the television show.

"Aren't they getting married because they had to ? but how can you have a child ? not love each other, right ?" ask the others.

"When I like the doctor Gibran, until I follow his Instagram page just to be able to see him doang" said one of them with a voice that sounded disappointed.

"It is fortunate that he immediately obtained the wife of the Noble family."

"Lagian sir Andre is very determined to miss his own wedding, now he gets nothing. The girl that ran away she's gone somewhere."

"It is love because of naf*u."

Some of the women who were still gathered were chatting with each other to talk about their former boss, Alya was there but as if he could not respond.

Since Andre ran away on his wedding day with another woman makes everyone in his office know how he really is.

Now it is common knowledge that Andre has natural talent as a brengs*k man. Until he was often the subject of conversation as it is today.

Lucky for Andre because no one knows the reality if Amanda and the baby who turned out to be his own flesh and blood has died. If only they knew, Andre would have run out into insults.

"Ehem !" Andre cleared his throat to resuscitate his employees if he had been there. Of course, the presence of Andre was very surprising even those who were talking about Andre covered his mouth with both hands because he felt guilty about what he had said.

"OK, time to start working" said Andre in a cold tone and those who were gathered in front of the television immediately disperse.

Andre is aware that he is the subject of conversation, but luck is still on his side because Andre does not know exactly what they are talking about.

"Alya, I asked for the report yesterday" said Andre, then and without saying much Alya also agreed.

It has been 6 weeks since the departure of his son, it has been that long as Andre also keeps his secret meeting. In the eyes of others he looks fine but no one knows if he often wakes up in the middle of the night with his eyes red and wet. Guilt still gnaws at him from within.

For months he had not had a forbidden relationship, even though as a normal man who was very active in hot activities he wanted it very much.

The women who used to warm his bed still tried to contact, but Andre realized that the disease lodged in his body had not disappeared so he was afraid to do that.

And his son's departure is the heaviest blow of his life right now, for some reason it haunts his mind. Maybe because Andre saw firsthand how the innocent baby died.

Alya came up with a stack of paper and placed it on the table. Andre raised his face and their eyes met.

"This is everything" said Alya briefly.

"Buy gifts for newborn babies where are ya ?" instead of talking about work, Andre prefers to ask about other things.

"In the mall a lot," Alya answered briefly.

"The quality is very good." - Andre.

"Hmmm, there's plenty of options. Besides, I don't know because I've never bought a baby's needs at such a high price."

Alya looked at Andre with an indecipherable look, she knew the man who was now her superior was intending to give a gift to Sabina her former lover who had just given birth.

"Sorry, I really don't know. Everything I have done if there is a shortage just say it." said Alya before he left the room Andre very simple.

Now Andre occupies a special room for himself even though it is very simple. Because of his hard work over the past few months, he is now the head of the marketing group and Alya is under him.

"As you have suggested, I apologize to Sabina and let her go to live happily. And yes it turns out he's been living happily with Gibran. Oh yeah, I'm sorry for Gibran too." said Andre before Alya disappeared from behind the door.

Alya stopped her steps, and turned her head. As usual he did not say much, all he did was smile meaningfully at Andre.

"May what you do lighten your burden. I think you've done the right thing." said Alya in the end.

"Thank you" said Andre solemnly and Alya nodded her head and left the room.

What Alya said was true. Now Andre felt that the burden in his heart had reduced a lot. He has been willing to let go of his past, Sabina, and can get back in touch with his best friend Gibran, although not as close as before.

Now only the disease and the departure of his son are still haunting. Andre leaned his body, took a deep breath and began to dismiss all bad thoughts. He began to concentrate on working.

***

By the day an Andreas Tama has set foot in a famous mall in the city of Jakarta. He wanted to buy a gift for a baby boy, Gibran and Sabina.

He followed Alya's advice, because he himself did not have the experience to buy baby needs. It was like Andre asked Alya for help to accompany him but he knew if the woman was waiting for his son at home so that Andre undoes his intentions.

"Baby's World." Andre read the name of the sizable baby supply store and began to enter it.

'Deg !' there was another sense that entered his heart, he suddenly felt even more tense than before. Making Andre quietly fixated right in front of the entrance until a servant came to him.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sir ?"

The waiter's question ripped Andre from his daydream.

"I was looking for a gift for a newborn baby boy" said Andre and the waiter also showed a place where Andre can choose the gift he likes.

Andre walked through every shelf that served the needs of the baby. He chose several pieces of blue clothes and some of them were modeled sailor clothes. Baby blankets are blue and some other objects are in signage.

After finishing with all his options Andre also paid him at the cashier, even he bought a balloon that read 'welcome baby boy'.

"Thank you" said Andre after the store finished his gift and he wanted to leave the place immediately.

Andre's steps stopped just like that when he saw a pink teddy bear. Even though the size is small but somehow the doll caught his attention. Without much thought Andre took the teddy bear and paid for it.

***

It was almost dark when Andre arrived at a place he had never imagined to go. But his heart brought him here.

With a pink teddy bear in his hand Andre got out of the car and walked to the new place he came 1 time a few weeks ago.

His eyes glazed with tears, his heart again felt pained considering the dark incident some time ago.

Andre crouched down in front of a small mound of earth and kept the teddy bear there.

"Sorry, Papa just came again" said Andre by staring at his son's tombstone.
