An Unwanted Marriage

Avoiding

Happy reading & ''Double

Andre arrived at the office earlier than usual. To avoid the conversation of his parents, he did not even eat his breakfast.

The atmosphere of the office is still quiet and quiet not many people have come. Andre entered his simple study and sat his body there.

His mind was still drifting on the bad things that kept haunting. Plus the plan of his sister's arrival will definitely add to the burden of his mind. It was already imagined how his parents would compare him and his sister later.

Andre opened Iaci's desk and saw a paper bag containing various drugs for his disease. he knew the drug was still there a lot because Andre did not regularly take it even though the doctor who handled it said if he had to consume it regularly and until it ran out then he had to do laboratory tests again.

Instead of taking his medicine, he prefers to take a stick of nicotine and chew it. He sips with it until it smokes and smokes it slowly. Andre did that for a few times until he decided to stand up.

He walked back out of the room to the pantry to make black coffee, hoping a cup of coffee could make him more alive this morning.

"Hey," said Andre quietly to Alya who passed by in the office hallway.

"Oh hi," he replied slowly.

"Want an event?" Andre asked astonished at Alya's more tidy performance than usual. Today Alya is wearing a formal blazer stel combined with a knee-length skirt.

"And I've asked permission from 2 days ago if today at 10 am will follow the parents' day at Raka school."

"Oh yeah ? Sorry I forgot. Is Raka in school ?" Ask Andre. The number of problems makes him not care so much about the surrounding.

"Yes, this month it's starting to come in. Tk."

"But today we have to meet a client from PT. XXX."

"After Raka's school event, I'll go straight to the meeting place."  Alya reasoned.

Andre finally relented, he knew that Alya was prioritizing his son.

"I might as well have a child." Andre's heart in his heart.

Andre continues his intention to make coffee, while Alya walks towards his chair to start his work early because this afternoon he has to leave.

Without Alya knowing, there are a pair of eyes continue to pay attention to him, who else if not Andre who is now his superior.

There's nothing interesting about Alya to Andre. The woman was too mature and serious, never showed her spoiled side as well as adorable characteristics of the women. Her appearance was also ordinary not beautiful seductive like the type of woman Andre liked.

But, Andre was amazed by his hard work and his maternal sense that was so obvious. Every time they overtime together Alya would bring his son along.

The child who is now 5 years old will obey the words of the mother and without fuss accompany his mother to work.

Once when Andre felt bored with his work, he chose to play an online game and handed the job to Alya.

Raka, who was sitting while watching TV, suddenly came down from her seat and walked up to Andre because she was attracted by the noise from her mother's superior's phone.

"Can Raka see, Om?" Tanya Raka was timid.

"Can." Andre replied briefly without taking his eyes off the phone screen.

Without Andre thinking, Raka entered between his hands until the child's head leaned against his chest.

There was a strange feeling that Andre felt back then, moreover he had not long lost his daughter. A taste that Andre could not express with words.

Since then a little bit of Andre became closer to Alya's son. Every time they meet will surely be joked and Andre really likes it.

Andre is not a fan of children, he does not like it. But the tragedy that befell his son made Andre slightly changed.

Alya turned her head when she felt noticed and found Andre looking at her from afar.

Andre looked away when Alya looked at him, suddenly he felt bad because he was caught paying attention.

And as Andre knew, Alya was not an impressionable woman. The woman again lowered her head and focused on the pile of working papers on her desk.

Gibran laid Athalla's baby on his bed. This morning she took care of her son with affection and Sabina was so amazed to see him. He deliberately volunteered because he would take the mother to the airport to return to his village.

"Honey, this afternoon there's a nurse who will help you take care of baby Athalla." Gibran said as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged Sabina from behind. Not to forget he also kissed Sabina's cheeks gently.

The relationship between the two is getting more friendly since they express their own feelings. Gibran increasingly shows love with his possessive attitude and Sabina is very fond of it.

"But I can still handle baby Atha by myself." Sabina answered reasoned.

"Yes, I know that, but my mom's coming home today. I don't want you to fuss if I'm at work. You can ask for help if you need to." Gibran and Sabina finally accepted her husband's offer.

At 9 a.m., a woman in her 22s came with a letter of recommendation from a well-known nun labor distribution foundation.

Gibran's mother received the arrival of the woman wearing the light blue sister uniform, because her son and daughter-in-law were on the 2nd floor in their room.

Actually what Ria did was a natural thing, but Mother Gibran saw it with a look of dislike.

"Doctor Gibran," said the woman politely as she extended her hand to shake hands.

Gibran accepted the hand and regretted it. Without further ado, Gibran asked the woman to sit down again.

"You're more handsome than I've seen on television." Said Ria unable to hide her admiration.

"Thank you," Gibran's friend was brief and his mother showed an increasingly visible look of dislike.

Gibran explained about the work the new sister had to do and Ria the nurse listened carefully.

During the activity, Gibran's mother did not leave them alone for a while.

Before long, Sabina walked down the stairs to meet the woman who was going to work for her.

Ria could not hide her eyes that were paying attention to the way Sabina walked. Makes Gibran's mom even less fond.

Sabina also realized that the woman was looking at her with shocked eyes towards her. Surprised by Sabina's way of walking like no other woman in general. Maybe in Ria's heart it is very regretful if a man as handsome as Gibran must be paired with Sabina who has deficiencies in her body.

Elsewhere, Andre was sitting in his chair when his father came without knocking on the door.

"Andre, today we will look at our new work project in the Depok area." Said the father directly sitting his body in front of Andre.

Andre did not agree, he just stared reluctantly at his interlocutor. Andre's father continued to speak, while Andre could not catch anything his father said.

"Sorry, today I have to see a client." Cut Andre fast.

"Can't it be postponed ?

"I can't, I have to go now." Andre replied standing up.

"Promise to meet in the morning ?" Ask her father to be surprised.

"Hmm, yeah. I'm sorry I had to go."

With forced father Andre also walked out to follow his son, when in fact Andre there is no event this morning only he wanted to avoid his father.

Lucky for Andre because Alya just came out of his desk to go to his son's school.

"Are you ready ? Let's go." Andre said as he pulled Alya's arm to walk with him.

Alya furrowed her brows not understanding, "follow it," whispered Andre lirih.

Alya looked back and saw Andre's father who was his big boss walking behind them.

"Good morning, sir." Alya nodded her head as a sign of respect.

Andre's father just nodded his head.

"Dad, I gotta go." Andre said when they arrived in front of the elevator and Andre's father let his son go with his subordinates.

"As I said earlier, I'm going to Raka's school." Alya said as they entered the elevator together.

"I'm taking it." Answer Andre.

"What ?"

"Don't ask too many questions." Andre said lazily explaining. Alya was silent no longer speaking.

This is where they are at Raka's school. Alya got out of Andre's car, and Raka ran to greet the mother with a carefree laugh.

Andre got out of his car because there was no way he could wait 2 hours in the car.

Raka's eyes sparkled to see Andre's presence there, he ran over.

"Om coming too ?" Tanya Raka was enthusiastic.

"Hmm yes, because Om and your mother have to work together." Answer Andre.

"Will Om pretend to be my father just this day ? My friends brought his father and mother today." Tanya Raka was hopeful.
