Forced Mate

Alex's Past (part1)

Ayu's car driven by Alex enters the parking lot of an office building.

"Remember 11 I'm going to the branch, don't be late!" Ayu reminded her schedule.

"Ready, Boss. I'll pick up the business later." Alex retorted with his hand placed on the tip of his forehead resembling a person in reverence. Hu

"Where are you going?"

"You go to your mother-in-law's house, honey. I'm not a cheat, I'm."

Ayu just turned the eyeball while removing the seat belt. He tries to open the car door, but is locked automatically by Alex.

Ayu turned towards Alex DNA saying, "Alex, I'm late!"

"My cheeks are dry, want to be sucked wet like it is," Alex said pointing to his left cheek.

"I flush there. Quickly open!" Ask Ayu.

Alex glanced out. "A lot of people, my dear. The opening-up time is here."

"So stupid!" ketus Ayy.

Despite refusing to kiss Alex on the cheek, Ayu did not shy away at all as the man pushed his head forward and landed a lip on Ayu's forehead. She was silent and pondering - confused over her extremely happy self when she was close to Alex. How could he have turned that drastic overnight.

The car driven by Alex enters a large black fence. The courtyard of the house was very spacious which was dominated by green grass. Some shade trees and colorful flowers. A man looked like he was tidying the grass. Some cars just parked outside the garage.

Alex stopped his car right behind the light blue BMW 320i. He came out then paused for a moment, noticing the two cars lined up. Ayu's Toyota Yaris is like a wreckage among all parked cars.

Alex switched to a Victorian house with a blend of brown and white. Somehow his mother likes a house that big, according to Alex is not essential at all. A good house is not a big and magnificent house, but a house with residents intact and happy.

Alex climbed the steps flanked by a large white pillar with gold carvings. Then go in and find a living room filled with so many luxury furniture. There is also a fireplace at the end of the room that functions as a decorator of course. After all who needs a fireplace in a country with hot weather like Indonesia, except living in a mountain jaya wijaya like it.

He went in even more, but got no one but one of the housekeepers cleaning one of the big jars who was looking at him briefly. A big house that feels empty. He only stayed for about two years at the house before moving to Melbourne with his father.

Every time he enters the house, Alex misses his childhood home, which is next door to Tamara. It wasn't Tamara that she missed, but rather the memories of her parents being together. Although the house was also quiet because Alex was more often with nurses or in day care, but he could still feel the togetherness of two people that meant a lot to him.

A large frame is displayed in the family room. The golden-framed pigura contained four people who looked extremely happy. Alex used to have a family photo of three people, before the photo was put in a warehouse and somewhere now. The last time Alex took a family photo was when she was six, right on her birthday. The last birthday he celebrated with the complete presence of his parents.

Alex exhaled heavily, even until now he could not shake off the envy of his two half-brothers inside the frame. His little family is not a happy warm family, his mother is always busy, his father is too. Many times in a day he does not meet them, but Alex prefers to meet rarely as long as they are still together, rather than meeting separately as now.

Alex shook his head slowly, trying to remove the flashes of bitter memory he thought. This time he will prove that he can be better than his parents. He would never take a selfish step that would hurt his son on the grounds it no longer fits. If only they were wise, any problem could still be solved as long as there was a desire to solve.

The divorce of his parents made Alex pledge to never divorce. He will only marry one woman. He will also always try to give more time to watch the growth of his son, because he knows time cannot be repeated.

"Hi, Bro!" greet the boy who is on the stairs. He sped up the steps down the stairs to quickly arrive near Alex.

"Hi, Rei!" Alex greeted his sister.

Reihan is Alex's sister from his mother. Despite being one mother, their faces were very different as Alex inherited his father's Caucasus face, while Reihan was Malay-oriental.

"Aren't you in London?" alex asked after remembering that Reihan was continuing his studies in England.

"Again kangen. Next week we'll be back."

Alex nodded in understanding. "Boyfriend kangen, right?"

Reihan laughing. "No, miss Mama. Again single I'm Bro, find it one so I can double."

"I know a lot of aunts, will you?"

Although they are about 12 years old and rarely meet, it does not make the brothers awkward. They are very familiar, like brothers in general.

A girl came and hugged Alex. "Sister Alex!"

Alex touches the top of Reina's head, his little sister. "You're high now."

"She dong, childhood continues!" said Reina.

"You've been bullied all along, Nana," cried Reihan.

Reina sneered at her brother. "Go back to London!"

Alex loved his sisters very much, but it is undeniable that he often wished they had never existed. In her little heart she wants her Mami and Daddy to stay together, and if she has a sibling then she wants a sibling similar to her, a sibling of the same seed and womb.

"I've seen in IG about Alex's sister's wedding. Congrat!" Reina continued with her cheerful face.

"Ah, how's your sister-in-law, pretty right?" alex said with one eye blinking.

"Beauty, anyway!"

Reihan who knew nothing looked up. He looked at the two in turn.

"Married?"

"Ih, Brother Rei's time doesn't know. The news again viral tau in Lambe-lambean!"

"Where I followed the account is not clear like that, not useful!" Ninyir Reihan's.

"Usage to know!" Reina Debate.

"What use, spread cheap gossip!"

"It's not because of Lambe-lambean, how can we know if Brother Alex is married."

Alex, who heard the viral news of his marriage until entering the IG Lambe-lambean, was shocked. Indeed last night he saw some people had started commenting and tagging his account, but he did not expect to be able to get into the post of the gossip ring.

"Let me see the news!" ask Alex to Reina who is pocketing HP.

A photo of Alex together with Ayu surrounded by candles attached to the gossip account homepage with the caption, 'Happy wedding Mr. Mrs And. Jones, after the same marathon race as the former, finally Babang Jones finished first.'

Something else caught Alex's attention. The account name of one Instagram user printed on the caption makes it seem to lose oxygen.

'@TamaraDtara and 987,345 others like it'

Tamara would have known. Alex grabs his HP, he opens the message Tamara sent along with the message her mother sent.

'I thought we're friends'. The message of Tamara.

Alex did not understand the meaning of the message, now he was convinced that Tamara was angry.

Among the fog, Alex immediately turned right and took a step. He had to hurry to Tamara's place and make things clear. That woman cannot be angry. To hell with her initial intention of coming to her mother's house, even if everyone hates her, as long as Tamara is not in that line is okay.
