sorry to interrupt the reading of the forbidden

Alika buri hurriedly finished the food in front of her, probably because of hunger or because of fear Alex would leave again.

"eat slowly, I'll wait" Alex

Alika ignored Alex, she remained focused on her food.

Alika had finished eating, she immediately rushed to Alex who was sitting on the sofa while playing a mobile phone.

"i'm ready, we can talk" Alika

"talk" Alex said without turning to Alika and staying focused on her phone screen.

Alika grabs Alex's phone and puts it on the table.

"explain to me what happened? " Alika

"about what? " Alex

"about all this, why would I ever get married to you? do you know where Toni's father came from and what you promised him? " Alika expressed all the questions that had been holding her heart.

"it's nothing, I just want to" Alex

"you mean? want what? speak clearly? " Alika

"want to get married" Alex

"why should I? I don't even know you at all" Alika

"you don't know me but I know you" Alex replied casually

"where are my mom and dad? " Alika

"i don't know, maybe it's a road" Alex

"it's all weird and dreamlike.

we don't know each other and you're marrying me on the day of my wedding to Arjun" Alika

"i don't want you to carry another man's name in our domestic affairs" Alex stared intently at Alika

"what's your reason for marrying me? "Alika

" maybe it's love" Alex replied indifferently

"love, cihhhh I don't believe" Alika

"if you don't believe it already, it's up" Alex said as he walked away from there.

" wait, I'm not done talking. heiii" yelled Alika called Alex

Alex ignores Alika and goes to her study.

After the meeting, Alika did not see Alex again until nightfall.

"where is she? is he gone again" said Alika speaking to herself while cooking for dinner

After finishing eating Alika sat at the dining table alone and enjoyed her meal.

"it's boring" muttered Alika while putting mouth after mouthful into her mouth.

"you're bored? " the word Alex suddenly startled Alika

"i thought you were gone again" Alika

"is this the way a wife does? eating alone without waiting for your husband? " Alex

"i didn't know you were out here, I thought you were gone again so I wasn't waiting for you to eat. " Alika

"prepare food for me, I want to eat" Alex pulled up a chair and landed her ass in one of the chairs.

Alika serves food for alex.

"eat it" said Alika and left Alex alone at the dinner table.

Alex walked after Alika who was sitting in the living room, suddenly Alex pulled Alika's hand

"is this the attitude of a wife? leaving the husband who was eating, quickly return to the dining table and accompany me to eat until it is finished" Alex said as he pulled Alika's hand towards the dining table

"you question my attitude as a wife, while you just don't act like a husband in general! " lika's lips

"you even left me after the wedding was over and locked me up here, if I didn't make a hunger strike I don't think you'd come here until I die" Alika said

"so you want to be angry because I left you? are you waiting for me to do bridal night? " Alex

"do not open it so" replied Alika brickly

"if so let's do it now, I don't think it's too late to do it now" Alex teased Alika

chapter 10

Alika ran away leaving Alex there.

Alex laughed at Alika's behavior.

Alex enjoyed the food that Alika served.

after finishing eating Alex followed Alika to her room.

"i'm going to go" Alex

"where? " Alika

"work" Alex answered briefly

"but it's already night" Alika

"there's urgent work to be done, I have to,

take care of your health and do not do strange things that harm yourself.

if you want to talk to me, you just call me no need to go on a hunger strike to call me" Alex said

" i don't have your phone number and neither do I know where I'm missing" she said

Alex realizes he hasn't given Alika a new cell phone after he has one of his men pick up Alika's phone and give it to her.

Alex gives Alika his card.

you can use the house phone to call me"Alex

After giving his business card, Alex went straight from there.

Alex left not to work but to return to his apartment.

"i don't hate you, you don't have a problem with me either but you're forced to get caught up in this situation because you're Arjun's loved one, if you hadn't been in contact with Arjun then you wouldn't be stuck in this situation" Alex said

Alex actually did not want to hurt Alika because every time he saw Alika he remembered her sister

but Alex must involve Alika in her revenge because she is the one Arjun loves the most.

"how's the office? " ask Alex to Reyhan by phone

"well, tomorrow I'll drop you the documents you need to check" Reyhan replied from there.

"mm" said Alex in a short reply

"so the BBC company sent you an invitation, they made a big wedding anniversary and it looks like Arjun will be on the show" Reyhan said

"when's show? " ask Alex

"next week" Reyhan

"prepare clothes from famous designers for Alika and find a fairy to decorate Alika later.

I'm going with Alika to the party.

I want Alika to look perfect "Alex.

"get ready, do it "Reported Reyhan from there..

without saying anything else Alex immediately turned off the phone.

"cheek, he always acts like this" Reyhan said, talking to the phone he was holding.

Reyhan is following Alex's orders.

he contacted one of the top designers in his country.

In the morning Alex calls the housekeeper and asks Alika for news.

"how's he doing? " Alex

"well sir, this morning the madam had gone out of the room and made some juice for her to drink" Joko said

"what is he doing now? " Alex

"while relaxing in the garden behind the house" Joko

"send me the picture" Alex ordered..

mr. Joko went straight to Tama and took a photo of Alika.

after taking a photo of Alika, Joko sent it to Alex according to yah g ordered alex.

Alex looked at the photo of Alika sitting in the park alone

"you must be lonely there" said Alex talking to himself as he looked at the photo Alika sent Joko sir

Alika is tired of continuing to be in the house, she wants to leave but Joko sir does not allow ya out of the room without Alex's permission

Alika tried to contact Alex to ask permission to leave the house but Alex did not pick up the call Alika because Alex is currently in a meeting with his coworkers

chapter 11

Alika's day was nothing special.

it's been a week but Alex hasn't shown himself yet. Alika had tried to contact Alex but never got an answer from Alex

"cihhh, he said if I needed it I could contact him but the fact is that he never responded to the call from me" Alika said.

Alika did not think much about the cancellation of marriage with Arjun because I actually did not want the marriage.Even she did not love Alex but she was forced to marry Alex because of the behavior of her parents.

"is this the destiny I have to live? married to someone I didn't know at all. lived in the palace all lonely.

maybe the lives of ordinary people out there are much luckier than mine.

they live in a simple house but they can enjoy life.

while I live in a palace house but I am lonely, living alone and can't enjoy life." Alika

no no no no

the sound of someone entering the house.

Alika turned her body to see who was coming.

"apparently in the assistant stone head" Inner Alika

"good afternoon Alika, how are you? " Rinathan.

"as you can see, my situation is not good

you guys locked me up here.how can I be okay in a confined state.

I'm not a bird, nor is it a chicken that you can cage at will.

I'm human just like you, I want to do a lot of things too but you ruthlessly locked me in here.

even the stone head never came here, he said if I needed it I could contact him but he never responded to my call" Alika complained to Reyhan

Reyhan listened to Alika's complaint and smiled

"did you miss your husband? " Rinathan.

"not at all, I contacted him just to get permission so I could get out of the house because the guards didn't let me power without permission from him" Alika

" he's out of the country so yes he didn't take a call from you, today he's coming back.

I'll tell him to come here"Reyhan

"what do you need to do here? " Alika

"don't you as the host should have offered me a drink first? " reyhan said alika

"you can take it in the kitchen if you want" Alika replied indifferently

Reyhan smiled and sat down on the sofa that was in front of Alika.

"i'm here to see how you're doing, Alex asked me here to check on you" Reyhan

"tell him I'm not good and maybe this prisoner will die soon" Alika names herself a prisoner

Reyhan laughed at Alika.

Alex is currently abroad to visit his sister as usual.

Today Alex will be back because tomorrow they will be attending an event.

Alika and Reyhan were both silent.

Reyhan is busy with his phone while Alika watches the TV in the room.

Unbeknownst to Alika, Reyhan takes some pictures of her and sends them to Alex.

"he's good, it's just that he looks really pissed at you. Get ready I think he'll pounce on you if he sees you" Reyhan said, sending a message to Alex

Alex sees Reyhan's message and smiles to himself.

Alex is on his way back to his homeland. She plans to langung back to her house and meet Alika.

Thank you for reading my work, brother.

sorry if I rarely update because I'm busy at the end of the day.

chapter 12

Alex is on his way home.

On the way he saw a boy sitting by the road.

the boy looked weary, in his hands yes he was holding a simple musical instrument made from a bottle cap.

"stop sir" Alex orders his driver

Alex got down and approached the boy

"what are you doing tonight here? " ask Alex on the boy.

"i'm busking, I just got some rest because I'm tired"

"have you eaten? " Alex

the boy shook his head.

"let's go with me, we eat there" Alex pointed to one of the restaurants around.

" no, they won't let me in there"

"come with me, we'll eat there" alex

the boy eventually obeys Alex and follows Alex as he walks into the restaurant.

Some employees looked in admiration at Alex.

especially the female employees, they are certainly fascinated with Alex's handsome face.

But they stare disdainfully at the boy who walks behind Alex

"why did you come back? didn't I throw you out" said one of the employees.

"he's here with me, you'll get paid for what he'll eat, so it's no different for him and the other visitors" Alex replied firmly

the employee immediately shut up and lowered his head..

Alex took the boy to the privacy room in the restaurant. Alex also sent a message to the driver to buy clothes for the boy.

They were waiting for the food they had ordered. The driver came carrying the clothes on Alex's person.

"you go take a shower in this toilet and change your clothes" Alex said as he stuck out a paper bag

the boy accepted and went to the toilet.

after taking a bath the boy changed clothes, he looked at himself in the mirror

The boy went to Alex's.

there are some food dishes there.

The boy looked at wonder

"why so much? "

"it's all for you, eat what you like" Alex..

The boy ate the food in front of him.

"just this time I could eat something this delicious, " said the boy as his stomach was full.

"you can order to take home" Alex

"i don't have a place to live"

"your family? " Alex

"doesn't have" replied the boy

Alex looked pityfully at the boy.

"what's your name? " Alex

"people used to call me a midget, you can call me a midget too"

"you want to come with me? " take Alex

"where? "

Alex took the boy with him

"You can call me Alex's sister" Alex said as he was in the car on his way home

"do you really not have a name? " ask Alex.

the boy shook his head

"Edward Alexander seems like that name suits you, do you not mind if I give you a name? " ask Alex

"from now on your name is Edward, everyone asks what your name is then say it" Alex.

"i like that name, "Edward

"how old are you? " Alex

"12 years old "Edward

They arrived at Alex's house.

Alika heard the sound of a car stopping in the yard of the house.

"who comes at night like this" said Alika. Alika peeked out of her bedroom window.

" at last the man came too" said Alika and immediately ran down to meet Alex

chapter 13

Alika runs over to Alex.

Alika wanted to spill all her frustration onto the man who was her husband

"where are you? you said I could call you if I needed anything.

but you never answered a call from me" said Alika shouting at the sight of Alex.

"wait there" Alex said to Edward as he pointed towards his study

Alex walked casually towards Alika.

"follow me" said Alex

Alika resentfully followed Alex's steps towards her room.

"i think this is what makes a lot of people want to get married" Alex said as they reached the room

"what do you mean? " Alika

Alex looked at Alika,

Alika does not realize that she is not wearing a bra and only wears a thin nightgown.

"welcomed by his wife when he came home from work with a very attractive appearance" Alex

Alika quickly covered her chest and walked towards the mattress, Alika quickly pulled the blanket and covered her body with a blanket.

"back off, don't come any closer" Alika said

"didn't you have been waiting for me for a long time, you even ran downstairs when you heard the sound of my car" Alex said as he walked closer to Alika

"get away" said Alika

Alex suddenly dropped himself into the bed

"i'm tired, we're talking tomorrow.

I want a break" Alex

Alika was relieved.

he picked up his clothes and went to change his clothes with a covered nightgown.

"who was that guy? " asked Alika as she walked out of the bathroom.

"my brother" Alex

"tomorrow I'll introduce him to you" Alex

Alika sat on the edge of the bed

"come to sleep" Alex

"are you going to sleep here? " ask Alika

"so where should I sleep if not here? " ask Alex.

"i don't want to share a bed with you" Alika replied quickly

"you can sleep on the couch or in another room" Alex replied indifferently

An hour passed, and no one spoke between them.

Alika lay her body on the sofa.

Alex got up from his sleep because he remembered Edward.

Alex walked out of the room and approached Edward to his study.

There's Edward Masi dudu waiting for Alex

"this is my home, and that woman is my wife

you can call him brother. " Alex

Edward nodded his head in understanding.

"do you like singing? " ask Alex

"no, I had to sing in the streets to earn money" Edward

"do you want to go to school? " Alex

Edward was silent, he had been so envious to see other children wearing uniforms and going to school. Edward was forced to drop out of school because he had no fees after his mother died.

"i don't have any fees for school" Edward replied

"i'll cover all your school fees until you go to college, but promise me not to let me down. " Alex

Edward was moved because now there were people watching him.

"it's late, you take a break tomorrow we'll talk and take care of your needs" Alex.

Alex escorts Edward to the room Edward will occupy

"this is your room, from now on you will stay in this room. Tomorrow we will go shopping for your needs" Alex

"can I hug you? " ask Edward as Alex is about to leave

Alex stretched out his arms and hugged Edward

"from now on don't ever feel like you're alone, now I'm your brother, we're family. " Alex

"thank you brother" Edward

"all right, now go to sleep. tomorrow we have a lot to take care of" Alex

Alex is back in his study

He called Reyhan

"how to show tomorrow" Alex

"it's tomorrow night, I've found out about Arjun

he'll come to the show to replace his father because his father can't attend" Reyhan

"mm, get me and Alika's needs ready" Alex

"get boss" Reyhan

Alex plans to bring Alika to the party tomorrow and accidentally reunites Arjun and Alika.

thank you for reading my work, brother.

chapter 14

Today Alex takes care of the paperwork needed to take care of Edward's new identity and the paperwork for school enrollment.

Alika Masi sleeps in her room.

after finishing taking care of the documents needed Alex took Edward to shop for Edward's needs.

Alex tells Joko sir to renovate the room that Edward will occupy.

Alex and Edward return home after shopping.

"you go to your room, I'll check my work" Alex said

"well brother" Edward

At his study Alex called Reyhan.

"send all the preparations for tonight's event" Alex ordered

"they're on their way there. " Rinathan

"you also get ready and pick us up later "Alex

"well" Reyhan

reyhan's men have arrived at Alex's residence, Joko took them to the dressing room

"wait here, I'll call the madam" Joko

The man stared in admiration at Alex's house.

it was so big and so luxurious that was in their minds

"how lucky is this lady who's hostess, I hear Mr. Alex is so handsome.

I would love to see him" said one of them.

"yes he's very handsome, I've seen him before, but hear he has a very cold nature" said one more person

Mr. Joko knocked on Alika's room door but there was no answer from inside.

"sir, I've knocked on the door of the mistress' room but there's no reply from the master's mistress" Joko said facing Alex

"let me call him, I'll do something else" Alex

Alex went straight into that room, he opened it with the spare key he had.

Alex sighed as he watched Alika Masi fall asleep.

"get up quickly, we'll attend the party" said Alex to wake Alika up. but Alika did not budge

In a fit of annoyance Alex pulled out the blanket that covered his wife's tiny body.

Alika lay down and looked pale.

looking at Alika's body, Alex panics

"Hey, why are you? " Alex.

"sss shut up, my stomach hurts. Don't bother me" Alika

"what are you sick with? come to the hospital or should I call a doctor? " said Alex frantically looking at Alika's pale face and trembling body enduring the pain

"no, no need. I'm used to it like this.

later also the pain disappeared"Alika

" how can you let it go, you'll die here and I'll be the suspect "Alex

" i will not die, this is only because I am coming months, later also healed by myself" she said

"so every coming month it's gonna hurt like this? " Alex

"yes, you go, I want to rest" Alika

Alex exits the room, he keeps thinking about Alika's words "so every month he will feel such pain and hold her alone "inner Alex sympathizes with Alika.

Alex suddenly remembered his sister

"what princess also feels pain every month" inner Alex

Alex took his cell phone and called his sister

"hallo what's up sister" Princess

"how are you? " Alex

"well, "daughter

"do you have problems every month? Alex

" no I'm okay, what's the problem, brother? "asked the princess wonder

" that, lady "Alex.

" what the hell, sister, speak clearly so that I can understand "Daughter

" that is, every month women will come to the moon.

do you feel pain every month?"Alex

"ooh that, no I'm fine.

not all women feel pain when it comes to the moon.all have different complaints.

I don't feel any pain" the Princess explained to her brother

"oh, thank God you don't feel any pain" Alex said

"but why did you suddenly ask me like this? " Daughter

"no, I just saw my friend feeling sick about the problem so I thought of you" Alex

"oh, fine" Princess

"keep yourself there" Alex

After their call ended Alex called Reyhan "I didn't go there, you go there yourself" Alex

"why? " Rinathan

"he's sick, it's impossible for him to go to that fast in pain" Alex

"okay good" Reyhan
